Review Swansboro Yacht Club - Swansboro

I LOVE this place. I've been here twice and both times left extremely satisfied. Their seafood is FRESH, which is sadly hard to find around here. Today I had coconut shrimp, coleslaw and hushpuppies. The shrimp was succulent, melt in your mouth, with a hint of coconut that was not overwhelmingly sweet and came with a Thai sweet chili type sauce. The hushpuppies were surprising because they didn't just taste like fried cornmeal, they had actual flavor. The inside had whole corn kernels and I think green onion, which made them sweet and savory. The slaw was ok, but the rest of the meal totally made up for it. We also had conch fritters, which again, were so flavorful and you could actually taste the chunks of conch. A few months back we had their small steam pot which included crab legs, clams, shrimp, corn and sausage for $30(for two people). Especially with how fresh it all was(with the exception of the crab legs but they were still good), that's the best deal around the area for a steam pot. This place doesn't look the best from the outside, but it's fresh, affordable, with an extremely laid back, non pretentious atmosphere that you need to try.

Don't let the name fool you: this is no swanky, high class joint. A popular local bar and restaurant, they often have live music. There's a nice outdoor patio where you can eat and drink right on the water. Their steamed seafood boil is delicious!

Great outside dining area, beautiful views.The crab cakes and fried okra were delish. And the margarita was a treat.

Great for informal dinner. Fridays crowded

A true diamond in the rough. Don't be fooled by it's looks. A dive bar with great food. A must try in the area for good pub grub with a seafood twist.

Awesome food, pretty authentic and a great feel, outside and inside. Good views of sunset from the dock.

Food and service were very good. Their health rating was a 93 which appeared a little lower than what we had seen on other restaurants in the area. It wasn't really noticeable except for in the bathroom which seemed as though it needed a good cleaning and a renovation. Otherwise the food was good and would return

Great service, peel and eat shrimp, and hush puppies. THIS IS A DIVE BAR, if your pretentious, don't bother! It is on the water. Great views and drink specials. Met the owner tonight and he is great! Love this place. There are two dining areas I. Addition to the deck and the bar bar area. Leave your coat and tie at home and come have a blast!

Don't expect anything fancy at this Yacht Club but if you want a really fun place to have lunch dinner or just a few drinks right on the water this is a very good choice. The food was excellent. I had the fried scallops. They were very light and fresh, just delicious. I had coleslaw and cucumber salad and both were excellent. Others in my party had equally delicious meals. Prices were great and the service was excellent, we were even able to bring our dog.

Great place with great food. The porch on the back at sunset is what draws us back every time. The fried okra appetizer and the specials are worth a try. When oysters are in season, they source locally and do a great job steamed, raw or fried. Less enthused with the farmed oysters but you have to give allowances out of season.

This place is totally awesome. First time here we docked for bad weather. Found it to be a strong current to dock in. There are no deck hands. (check your tides). Wonderful small town with a full days worth of window shopping and delicious places everywhere. (seasonal) Dining is hard to choose from. They all serve goodies.. And I have to mention Jamie. Mothers day come on the way back. She is a great asset. We received presents for mother from all over with her help.

This restaurant's shabby appearance will make you want to turn around. Don't!! Walk thru the interior to the back. Their casual dockside dining is what the coast is all about. For appetizers, we ate frog legs, conch fritters and scallops wrapped in bacon. Our entrees were shrimp and scallop fajitas. All perfectly cooked and delicious. Varied menu and a full bar. There were 4 in our party and all agreed that we enjoyed some of the best service and seafood around. We gave it 8 thumbs up!

Like the rest of the reviews don't judge this place by the exterior appearance. Food was amazing staff was friendly and funny as well as the other patrons. Will definitely eat here next time I'm in town.
