    Large ribs, collards, green beans and hush puppies.
    Jacqueline W.

    My son was driving down memory lane and he stopped at this place that used to be a bait spot. When I saw "BBQ" I had to try it. I was very glad we did. The prices were good, and the food was tasty. The ribs were very tender and the sauce was delicious. The greens were meaty and hush puppies were crunchy but not dry. The service was excellent. Whenever I'm in the area I'll stop by again.

    This place is 5 out of 5 strong!! After living in Jacksonville for years I can't believe I have never found this gem. If you're a bbq fan you have to check this place out as soon as possible. I got a 3 item sampler brisket, pulled pork and ribs. The sampler come with two sides I got Mac n cheese and potato salad! The brisket melted in you mouth and had amazing flavor! The best brisket I have had so far in my life hands down! The ribs just feel off the bone and was so flavorful with the dry rub on them. The pulled pork was also very good! Not to wet but not dry in bit! Tasted amazing mixes with there homemade "pappy" sauce. Mac n cheese was definitely homemade and tasted amazing. Potato salad had bits of eggs and dill in I it bring out great flavor. And if the food wasn't enough the sweet tea was on point! The thing that made this place worth while is the owners! They are very sweet and kind. Always have a smile on their face and very easy to talk too and always checked in to make sure everything was to your liking! I would recommend this place to every single person that like bbq or that has never tried to try this first! You won't be upset ... well you might cuz your wallet will wear thin for going back all the time! Enjoy this gem!

    Best brisket in eastern North Carolina. Delicious traditional southern style sides. Family owned and very friendly. Highly recommended.

The best part about those outreach clinics was lunch with the school nurses. It's how I found all the locals places. Yana's was our Swansboro go to and despite moving away in 2011 and just now going back, the food was just as delicious today as it was then. And everyone who has dined repeatedly at a favorite place knows things rarely stay (or taste) the same. Bestie & hit Yana's shortly after 11 this beautiful Saturday morning and even though there were 4 parties ahead of us, we barely waited 15 minutes. I've had alot of the items on the menu during those outreaches (and with family) and never had anything I didn't enjoy but today, I went with breakfast of a western omelet (minus the sausage & tomato) with hashbrowns (home fries) and toast. My omelet had fresh green peppers, perfectly cooked, griddle bacon and cheesy cheese. I just wanted to keep eating but I was getting full. Bestie & I also had a combination order of banana & apple fritters. My food was just as I remembered-DEEEEELICIOUS! And our fritters just makes me want to go back in a few days to see if they have strawberries in supply. Honestly, I would drive from our new home in Richlands down to S'boro every weekend if hubby would let me lol. If you decide to dine here & are put off by the wait, don't be. Get on the wait list & do a little shopping. You won't regret it. Ps, omelet didn't last long enough for a pic!

My wife had the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich and steak fries which was delicious. My son had a hamburger cooked the way he liked it and fried and he enjoyed it. If that was all they had, it would've been great, but this is where I start talking about the fried mushrooms. Honestly, we were not ready for how awesome those fried mushrooms were. They were delicious and they were well cooked. They were perfectly crispy and the sauce was delicious. They should really talk more about those in their menu because that was the key note to this entire meal. I haven't seen fried mushrooms that big. They were absolutely delicious.

I ordered the Angels on Horseback…read moreand loved the flavors, especially the delicious reduction and everything that accompanied the dish. The only thing I didn't care for was the risotto, but everything else was so good that it certainly didn't take away from the overall experience. My husband had the seared ahi tuna, which was excellent, and everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals. We finished with key lime pie and cheesecake, and both were delicious! The drinks were fantastic too. Danielle, our waitress, was an absolute charm. She was friendly, attentive, and a wonderful part of our evening.

    We recently moved to the area and chose Saltwater Grill to celebrate a special family occasion,…read morehoping it would become one of our new favorite restaurants. Instead, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. From the beginning, things felt off. Our server was wearing basketball shorts, which seemed completely inappropriate for the atmosphere and setting of the restaurant. The wait for our food was excessive, and when it finally arrived, it was almost entirely inedible. The food was cold, the broccoli was essentially raw, the rice and risotto looked and tasted nothing like they should, and every meal at the table was disappointing. For a bill of over $300, not a single person in our party left satisfied. To make matters worse, we noticed the restaurant had a B sanitation rating, which certainly didn't inspire confidence after the quality of the meal we received. The waterfront location is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. When you're paying premium prices for a special celebration, you expect quality food, attentive service, and a memorable experience. Unfortunately, we got none of those. We won't be returning, and I couldn't recommend Saltwater Grill to friends, family, or anyone looking for a nice meal in the area.

The location is very nice with a small park with a dock right across the parking lot. The prices are fair. We dropped $100 for a family of four. That's not cheap, but again, fair.
