Visiting from out of town. Phenomenal. warm hospitality, and great fried food. Great Coastal decor, and open setup. Large outdoor space was also available, with two park benches. read more

i ordered the special last night, crab cakes, and my husband ordered fried oysters. We were the only people in the restaurant last night, and the rock music was so loud we didn't even try to talk. Halfway through our meal, some kind of bell or alarm went off and continued for so long that I went to the kitchen to ask them to turn it off. They couldn't even hear it in the kitchen. The crab cakes were frozen preformed and not made with real crabmeat. My husband said the oysters were good, though. I will give a shout out to the cashier, who was cheerful and friendly. read more

We picked this place for the seafood and bbq offerings, and it was very convenient to where we were staying in Swansboro. The place is small, but since we arrived an hour before closing time it wasn't too busy. They staff were very friendly, and the food was fresh and hot. You order and pay at the counter, then seat yourself. Our group had fried shrimp, flounder, chicken and okra, and the only things that weren't fried were the other sides - Mac n cheese, cucumbers, greens, etc. the fish was very tasty, and the bbq was typical Carolina pulled pork. We averaged about $20/person for dinner and a drink after tax, and left with our bellies very full. read more

I had the best plate of seafood. I got the fried soft shell crabs. They were outstandin.

This place was a disappointment after spending over 75.00 for 3. The food was simply warmed up. It was not fresh nor tasty. Way overpriced too. read more

I've past here many times and always said I'd have to stop one day.. well today was the day!! I really wanted some fried shrimp and that's what I got! So it's a little different than I'm used to.. most of lunch crowd had left so it was only like 3 customers. The young lady behind counter was cleaning tables.. she explained you order and pick up at the counter she will call my name when it's ready.. cool! Also you pay when you order .. cash and card are accepted but there's a discount for using cash! I'll take it! I ordered shrimp plate large came with hush puppies and 2 sides... I got cabbage and potato salad.. the potato salad was a lot for me.. I made sure I concentrated on the main dish!! It really good and the young lady was very nice and helpful. The restaurant is very casual and very cute.. it looked freshly painted nice and brite blue.. there's all kinds pictures on wall.. they even have a few beer selections.. very laid back no rush and good food.. I would definitely recommend it plus they have more than just seafood!! Something for everyone read more

This little place is a gem. nothing fancy though. an oval told us about it and it was delicious! not recommend for anyone on a diet, most items are breaded and fried but lightly. Definitely would recommend read more

Food is wonderful but seriously reconsider the people you hire. Called for over an hour to place order and no one answered. Did not want to order online so that I could pay cash but had to after calling over 6 times within an hour and had to put order on a credit card. Got to restaurant and the two employees were loud obnoxious and playing on their phones and throwing things at each other being ridiculous. Simply won't return due the nonsense and hassle. read more

Have not been here for years and was craving a BBQ sandwich. Well look at that- the sign says Buy one get one BBQ sand or Shrimp plate. Perfect. The cashier was nice but not over welcoming. I got the feeling of "can you hurry up". Well I took my time because now I didn't know if I was going to order the shrimp plate of the BBQ sand. There were two people at a table eating and two waiting for an order.... the place was dead... when normally this place is full all the time. I finally decided on the BBQ sand. It comes with coleslaw so I was very happy.... but it does not come with onion. Bummer. She handed me my order but did not ask if I wanted any sauces. I guess they don't have any to go or if they do I was not directed to were the sauces are. No napkins were in the bag either. BUT what was in the bag were hush puppies. I think five per sandwich. OMG they were to die for. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and you know they were FRESH. I ate all of them before I got home. Bad girl. The BBQ sandwich was very good. I added my own sauce and a slice of onion. What a deal for $5.86..... (2 BBQ's) no fast food chain can beat that! So, if the cashier had been a little friendlier and smiled they would have gotten five stars. I will be back to try out the Shrimp Plate. Tuesday 2/22/22 4:30 Food 5 stars, Service 4 stars read more

Great place to get fried seafood Quick service Small place but welcoming atmosphere We will be coming back read more

Service was fine but pulled pork was less than expected. Would look elsewhere for BBQ.

First-timer here from out of town. Seeking awesome seafood--don't mind paying higher prices, but it has to be worth it. My husband got the catfish and shrimp plate while I got the shrimp and oysters plate. Our sides consisted of coleslaw, french fries, collard greens, and mashed potatoes. Hush puppies were also served with it. It all was absolutely amazing. Everything just melts in your mouth and so incredibly tender. Does not taste fried. Everything tastes fresh. Highly recommend. Our total was slightly over $50. For comparison, we ate at Clawson's restaurant in Beaufort last night and paid over $100. While the food there was great, it was overpriced and portions were small. The portions here are great. We found this place by asking a local what they recommended and they said hands-down that this place had the best seafood around. And we agree-very happy. read more

Googled places to eat and this place was highly recommended. Got there and were a little leery by the looks of the building and the empty parking lot....walked in and order our plates and WOW! Food is made to order and everything is great, from the BBQ to the fried chicken right down to the hush puppies. These were the best hush puppies we had all week! Do yourself a favor and stop. You won't be disappointed. The staff is super nice and friendly. Just like bein in moms kitchen! read more

Absolute wowza! Not much to look at but the food is amazing, I got the shrimp plate and the shrimp were fried to perfection. Order at the counter, pick up your food and bring it back to the table- absolutely amazing. The best hushpuppies I've had in the area! They offer different daily specials and it's a very laid back atmosphere, saw a lot of people picking up to go. If you are looking for good food in the area this is your place! My only quarrel would be keeping the tables clean, when we arrived the place was empty but all tables but two were dirty, but with one worker they may have seen a huge rush before we came in so I cannot fault them on that. read more

Bogue House Restaurant - Fried shrimp plate - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Point, North Carolina

Love this little unassuming joint. Our waitress was super helpful and polite. You order at the counter and just pick a table. Cups are provided for your sodas. They had a BOGO on their trout and shrimp so we went with that. Both were lightly battered, with a delicate crunch to it. Fish was fresh. Hush puppies with a tad of butter were perfect! Brunswick stew is a choice side that everyone agreed was a winner. Fried okra is a good choice, too. Wish they had cornbread, tho. We were too full for dessert but next time I might leave room. They cook all their desserts in house. The brownies looked enticing. They make their own pork rinds, too! We'll be back the next time we're in town again. read more

Sweet little home style restaurant/diner with a laid back atmosphere. We got the fried flounder with the coleslaw, crab cakes with hush puppies and a plate of broiled shrimp and more hush puppies! We were visiting on vacation and just got in from a long drive and picked this up on the way in. It was such a nice treat for our first night on vacation at the beach. Even though we live at the beach, we miss the outer banks and this place has all the charm we missed since moving further south. Imagine Calabash seafood but fresher and better. The best part... it was all ready in about 8 minutes! Eat like a pogue and and stop at the bogue! read more

This place has it going on! The locals eat here, that should tell you all you need to know. Great seafood and southern cooking. So dang good, you gotta try it if you like southern comfort seafood. read more

This is a diamond in the rough. The hush puppies are delicious with a hint of garlic powder. We had the flounder, clam strips and shrimp and it was all SO delicious! Highly recommend. read more

We tried this place for the first time and love it! It's very homey and small. It did start to fill up fast at dinner time. Luckily we got there early. I don't have complaints about anything :) read more

Great bbq, ordered pulled port, fried chicken, and a bunch of sides. Pork, chicken, and Brunswick stew were the winners. Will go back when we need a break from making delicious fish at home. read more

Wasn't impressed, I was charged $19 and some change for two pieces of what they call Flounder, slaw, fries and four hush puppie. What looked like frozen shrimp, green bean, Mack and cheese and four hush puppies $16 and some change. 37.88 read more

If you like fried food and southern eats, this is the place to go! We make it a point to eat here whenever we're in town, which means a 30 minute drive one way. The food is always amazing, fresh caught and great service. We had the barbecue (pulled pork), fried clam strips, flounder and shrimp, with sides of fries, fried okra, hush puppies, and potato salad. Everything came out as expected and with ample portions. Their barbecue sauce (at the table is NC style) and tasted great on the pork. Even my picky 8-yr old liked it on his sandwich. Fries were shoestring and just crispy enough. Fried okra was delicious and tasted healthy (if that's possible with fried food). The potato salad is creamy and made with relish, which is not my favorite, but it was still good. Homemade through and through. The place is no frills inside, but clean and staff are friendly and helpful. As we ate our dinner, at least three folks came in and the staff knew them by name. I guess their sign is true: the locals DO eat there. read more

We decided to find somewhere to get seafood on our way home from the aquarium and found this after reading reviews and looking at the menu. We're glad we did! They had a special 2 for one on the shrimp and flounder plate with 2 sides. We had the mac n cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, fried okra, and slaw plus hush puppies. Huge portions and the best hush puppies I've ever had. We even ordered a dozen to take home. (They didn't make it) On top of it being delicious and a great price, the service was amazing. The food came out fast and the woman behind the counter was so friendly and helpful. I think the only thing bad I can say I wish I lived closer! We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we are in the area. read more

Don't overlook this little gem. It's a walk up counter with simple clean inside seating and picnic tables out back. The fried seafood is absolutely the best around! However, the cocktail sauce tastes like super sweet barbecue sauce. (How about some horseradish, Bogue House?) Opt for the excellent tarter sauce instead. The hush puppies are crazy good. read more

Stopped. In for their lunch special . As always I was not disappointed. The BBQ is solid here and the chicken is good . The specials are always on point . Try the BBQ sandwich with slaw . You will not be let down . read more

This is a very small restaurant. There was one very pleasant waitress that took good care of us. You have to get your own soft drinks or water. We were disappointed in our fried shrimp as it appeared to have been frozen, not fresh. The hush puppies were like the ones you buy at the grocery store. Prices were ok for seafood, but not ok in quality. Atmosphere was missing. It was more like a diner, if that. Needless to say, we were disappointed. read more

Great food, fast service!. I had the shrimp which is really good and loved the hush puppies. Priced reasonably.

I would probably vote the Bogue House Resturant as one of my favorite local restaurants. If you are a local to Cedar Point, you have definitely eaten at the Bogue House. Be sure to order the delicious melt in your mouth hush puppies. The clam strips and shrimp are phenomenal as well. Definitely a local hangout where you can get a little taste of the crystal coast. read more

Best clams I've had in the area. Fresh and sweet. Lived up to the reviews. Sweet tea was amazing as well!

Excellent. Great find- all the previous reviews are spot on. Unassuming outside and in, but the food is delicious! 2 large pieces of flounder cooked perfectly. Hush puppies come with everything and are better than I've had anywhere from Kinston East. Oysters, shrimp and fried chicken delicious and fried perfectly. Sides were yummy- especially brunswick stew and collards and green beans. Free drink refills. Beer available. Food comes out fast and accurate. Staff is so pleasant. Pork rinds a nice bonus! We had 4 teenagers and 3 adults and everyone left happy and full. Prices were decent and worth it. Desserts looked great but we didn't try them after all the food. Don't miss this place! read more

Bogue House Restaurant - Flounder and shrimp - Barbeque Near Me - Cedar Point, North Carolina

After trying multiple restaurants around town we stumbled across this restaurant as our last shot. We called and they said they could seat our party of 12 as soon as we show up, we ordered and got our food within 10 minutes and we all enjoyed our meals. This was an amazing experience and I recommend to to anyone who needs a quick bite. THE HUSH PUPPIES AND MAC & CHEESE WERE GREAT!! read more

I almost hesitate to recommend this place, because sometimes great stuff is better kept secret, but they deserve the praise. We'd been looking for a place to get Seafood. Oddly, a lot of places were closed despite it being high season and, predictably, those that were open were absolutely mobbed. We're talking 2 hour wait times. So we drove over to Swan to see what was what--same thing. Overspilling parking lots, long lines. We decided to go out further, and ultimately Stumbled on Bogue House--a little place that's easy enough to miss, and looks like a whole lot of nothing, but at this point.... It was a risk well-worth taking. Inside, we found a simple place with vinyl floors and some cheesy coastal-theme decorations, and one table open so there was no waiting. The food came up fast--about 7 minutes--and arrived on the table steaming hot, in vast quantities, and all of it was delicious. Between the group, we tried many different items--shrimp, flounder, crab cakes, clam strips, and all of it was delicious. The crab cakes were a surprise, being several hours south of Chesapeake Bay. The shrimp was fresh and delicious--its never the same after freezing--and made my entire vacation worthwhile. No exaggeration. I'm already plotting next year's return. All of that said, this isn't a trendy place with sugary cocktails and a carefully curated theme--it's a roadside restaurant, with plastic chairs, wobbling chairs, and a self-serve soft drink fountain front and center. It's probably not classy enough for you, but it's damned fine seaside feedbag for me. read more

Best hush puppies around! The food was fantastic, loved the chicken and pastry, first time trying it and it was delicious. One of the few restaurants open regularly during the off season. We stumbled upon it accidentally while trying to find a place to have dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. Definitely would recommend! read more

Their "Grilled" seafood is NOT grilled!!! Beware buyers, you will get "skillet grilled," NOT chargrilled! The grilled shrimp we ordered was tiny "boiled-looking" shrimp (nothing special)! I could have bought fresh fish & "grilled" in in my frying pan at home. Again, buyer beware, the seafood is NOT truly "Grilled!". They do fried seafood best. And-this cost us a lot more than it used to! read more

Was looking for bbq near Emerald Isle and found this place. Based on reviews (and proximity), figured we'd give it a try. I got the bbq sandwich combo with fries and my husband got the bbq/dark meat chicken plate with Mac & cheese and potato salad (both meals also came with hush puppies). We both agree that the bbq was the best part of the meal--it had a nice smokey flavor. The hush puppies were also tasty (although I found them a bit strong on the onion flavor). The chicken was juicy and not greasy, but was a little light on seasoning. Mac and cheese was gooey (my husbands words)--just how he likes them--and the potato salad was just right. Fries were fries--nothing special. Sweet tea was not overly sweet--just how I like it. Overall, a very filling meal. Was it the best I've had? No. But worth the stop if you're looking for decent down-home Carolina food in the Swansboro/Emerald Isle area. read more
