Swain's was awesome! The food was bang on - we got the grouper with hush puppies and fries, and fried shrimp with the same sides. Everything was cooked just right. They also have Coke Zero, if you’re into that!
Our waitress was super friendly and on the ball, always made sure we were okay. The place itself was cool too, comfy seating and a nice atmosphere. We did try the mudslide cake for a chocolate fix, but it was a bit too heavy on the liquor for us. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she took it right off our check, which was really cool of her. If you're in the area, definitely hit up Swain's, you won't regret it.

Based on Google ratings and recommendation from a neighbor, I decided to go there Saturday for dinner. After reviewing the entire menu and having a hard time choosing, I decided to go with the “Mermaids Delight”, a seafood pasta dish.
I have eaten quite a few seafood pasta dishes in my life. I might’ve had one as good but I’ve never had anything any better than this dish was phenomenal. The scallops and shrimp were so fresh and they didn’t skimp on the seafood or the mushrooms. There was so much pasta after I got through eating the complementary homemade potato chips and a side salad, I could only eat about a third of the pasta. I took the rest home and demolished it for lunch the next day. This dish was so big two hungry adults could easily split it and be completely full. The complementary homemade potato chips I bring with ranch dip were absolutely delicious. Every employee I was close to spoke to me and was very polite and courteous!
All the desserts are fresh and made in the house, and my neighbor said they’re worth their weight in gold, but I do not eat sweets so I can’t vouch for this, but they do look delicious!
I can’t say enough about Customer Service. I sat at the bar on both visits and bartender was so polite, professional and very attentive!
Came here for wife's bday. Great service. The food is amazing. Even the salad with dinner was impressive. Took home alot of leftovers. Try the slap ya mama shrimp app. Delish ! Will be back next weekend. Great specials too !
Highly recommend this place
We drove down from OIB to dine here. Our food was absolutely delicious. We indulged on their homemade chips for our appetizer, house salad prior to our meal and the Mermaid Delight is absolutely delicious. It's enough for 2 people to share. Totally wortg the money and the drive down. Reservations recommended*

Really good and great wait staff!!!
Absolutely love this place the portions are always enough for 2 meals!! Waitstaff are friendly I like to ask what they like the best and they always gives good advice!! One of my faves on Oak Island and it's not loud so you can actually have conversation while your there.
Food is amazing. The staff are wonderful. I can’t wait to try more items on their menu!!
You must go to this place, be sure to make your reservations early. The food was amazing. We had the Mahi Mahi, which was the catch of the day. Another great thing was the "southern chips and dip"(fresh fried potato chips and ranch). Oh, sooo good! Marissa was our server, and she was spectacular!
Extra Tip- Get the dessert! You will not regret the choice!
Highly recommend making a reservation here for any celebration! We were in town for a bachelorette weekend and they accommodated 6 of us with ease. Drinks, food, and customer service were fantastic! We even had a modern day Disney Princess theme for the night, showed up dressed as such, and it was accepted with no issue as nuts as we felt! We got desserts to go, and couldn’t believe how delicious they were after a day of being in our fridge. The seafood is FANTASTIC. If you’re in the area - GO!
Really great dinner and experience here! To start I just make a note that service is a little slow, but they are clearly understaffed so it’s understandable. However, even tho service is lacking the food quality certainly isn’t. Everything that was ordered (lobster ravioli, beginner oyster platter, pro oyster platter, and blackened chicken) was absolutely delicious. The prices are also a little expensive at first glance, but are made up for by the insanely large portion sizes. You can very easily get 2 meals out of anything you order. My lobster ravioli had lots of flavor and the ravioli noodles were obviously homemade! The cream sauce was to die for! I’m sensitive to rich sauces, but this was perfectly balanced and paired with the lobster filling perfectly. ALSO THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY RESTAURANT IVE EVER VISITED THAT ACTUALLY PUT THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF GRATED CHEESE ON TOP. Mostly seafood, hence the name, but I’m not complaining because it’s easily some of the best seafood around🙌.
Well, where do we begin with this place? First, we would like to say thank you to our waitress, Marissa. She was everything a waitress should be and more. She was very attentive, a wonderful personality and couldn't do enough for us. Next, the food was amazing!! Hats off to the chef. The salmon was absolutely delicious as well as my husband's pork chop tenderloin. The other main dishes at our table were just as yummy! The portions are a really nice size. The desserts sounded awesome, but by the time we got done eating the homemade chips they put in front of you, soup, salad and then the meal, you're stuffed!! (In a good way!) But, we will be back again to try some of those yummy desserts. Don't miss this place on the island. Nice beachy decor and a nice casual place to eat scrumptious food. Thank you Swain's for our first experience here tonight! We will be back. 😊
