Waitress was helpful in picking out martinis to try. Started with fire cracker shrimp and a wedge salad. Filet mignon special was cooked very well and was tasty - served over shrimp and mashed potatoes with asparagus substituted in place of another veggie. Cold water lobster tail was a good size and well prepared. The restaurant is willing to make substitutions and has gluten free options, or will accommodate changes to make a dish gluten free. This restaurant opens at 5pm (there were people waiting for it to open - us included because they did not take reservations) by 6pm every seat was taken with people waiting to be seated.

Went there for date night after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. Food is absolutely delicious. We had the crab cakes, scallops, pork belly and maki roll and everything was amazing. Great flavor, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our favorite was the pork belly - crispy and oh so good. We are definitely going again. For those saying that itâs pricey I disagree - the quality of the food and service that you get is worth the price. Highly recommend when visiting Emerald Isle.

They've been here 2 years & I never new it till I went to McD's for breakfast. Sure glad I found this place. Really good menu.Got it all covered. Ribs,brisket,seafood,& mac & cheese for the kiddos. I got the scallops & oyster combo. Was surprised the scallops weren't fried.Pan seared & very good. I'm not a hush puppy fan but I ate all of them in that basket!! Everything the other reviewers said about the atmosphere is spot on.Great place with lots of seating.Staff was excellent.

We could not wait to visit this famous "dive bar" located in Swansboro. Only one other table was there on the night we visited, but with the strong breeze blowing and the $1.50 draft beer special, conditions seemed perfect. Soon we were the only table being served. Our first round of beers were...well...not cold. But we overlooked that and proceeded to order dinner and another round. The food came but the beers didn't. Seems like much more was going on than it appeared as our server was mostly absent. She was nice when we saw her. The cocktail sauce was about as tasteless as some of those you buy in a bottle at the grocery store. But the shrimp were good. My sister had the flounder and really enjoyed it. My fish tacos came with a "pico sauce" which was essentially onions and tomatoes and not much else. So, pass on those if you visit. But aside from the warm beer and the really bad music provided by the one dollar per song jukebox, I can see how the locals love this place. But being a local may be the key here.

Bogue House is often our first choice when we are thinking of good food fast. I love their fried clam plate and my husband loves the shrimp. The chicken is tasty, as is the bbq. There is a good variety and you can get home style desserts as well.

Their website (and even their menu in the restaurant) says they serve breakfast. We have dined here for breakfast before; it was bustling and the food was good. However, this time when we arrived we were told that the owners had âchanged their mindsâ about serving breakfast because it wasnât busy enough and then we were turned away. Ironically, every other person in the restaurant at that moment was also there for breakfast.

This place has a great atmosphere with a wonderful view of the water but..... nothing more to brag about. Our server Megan, was VERY confused and seemed lost. We think she forgot about our food and drink because our food arrived barely warm. I ordered a glass of wine and asked her to bring it with my meal. Once she gave us our food she said â I will be right back with your wineâ. She came back after I had finished over half my meal, in about 12 minutes or so. I should have refused the wine and sent our entire meal back but we donât like to complain. Live and learn but we will NOIT return to this restaurant ever again and that is a shame. So if you plan to try this establishment beware!!!

We rode into town on our motorcycle after a 90 degree plus ride, hot and tired. Our hotel recommended this as their number one recommendation. It was a mile walk from our hotel so we walked there and back. It's a nice little restaurant right on the water. Inside or outside dining. We chose inside because we needed to cool down but there were people outside (no shade though so keep that in mind). We had great service, were seated right away. My husband had the Bahama Mama drink which he loved. He also had Shrimp and Grits which is also raved about. I had a greek salad and I wanted to taste a local fish so they blackened grouper and put that on top. Also have roasted brussel sprouts which were tasty. It was a good experience. It's also in a cute, historic walking area. Unfortunately on a Tuesday night none of the shops were open. We enjoyed a nice stroll back to our hotel through the neighborhood. Encourage you to try this place.
