    Kids chicken fingers and fries
    Caroline J.

    Yum! Food Tried the following: Blackened Shrimp tacos, fried fish tacos , chili, cheese curds, onion rings and fries! All were very excellent and surprisingly the chili was super good! I guess it's an off-season addition. Service: Order at the counter and they then bring your food to you. Very casual environment. Glad we were with friends who told us how it works because it can be a little confusing about the system for drinks and such. Just keep track of your beers and pay for them all at the end! Ambiance: Indoor/outdoor seating in a casual laid back setting. It was October (off season) and still busy! Go here for fresh casual seafood!

    Someone recommended The Fish Hut and we went for lunch. Beprepared to wait a while and in the heat, but the wait is worth it! This small restaurant boasts an amazing, robust menu that makes the wait seem more worthwhile. You must wait in line while they serve one by one, but don't worry, they come by and get your drink order while waiting in line. I wasn't sure about the order-at-the-counter concept for a seafood place, but I was wrong, and it works. Drinks came out quickly and were very good. Fried shrimp tacos, soft shell crab sandwich, blackened fish tacos, and a side of coleslaw were all delicious. The absolute beach of a come-as-you-are, laid-back, beach vibe. Family-friendly, reasonably priced. A friend recommended this place, so we decided to stop by for lunch. Be prepared to wait for a while in the heat, but trust me, the wait is worth it! This small restaurant has an impressive and diverse menu that makes the wait feel worthwhile. You'll need to stand in line as they serve customers one by one, but don't worry--the staff comes around to take your drink order while you wait. I wasn't initially sure about the order-at-the-counter concept for a seafood restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works well. Our drinks arrived quickly and were very good. We tried the fried shrimp tacos, soft-shell crab sandwich, blackened fish tacos, and a side of coleslaw, all of which were delicious. The atmosphere has a laid-back, beachy vibe that makes it feel like a casual spot to hang out. It's family-friendly and reasonably priced, too! I gave a 4 due to the long wait outside in the heat.

    This little busy joint on the strip is different from what I'm used to. First when you're waiting in line to place your order, a waitress comes up and askes if you'd like a drink, while you are standing in line waiting. Yes, please! This makes standing in line so much better. Haha. The way they do things is different from what I am used to up here in NY. I walk in, I place my order, I go find a seat. The come out and just start calling your name. They find you, drop off your tray of food and bill, and when you're done eating you walk up and pay. With so many entrances in and out of this place you'd think they would have you pay first. I guess that's the difference between the south and NYC. Haha. The tacos were delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

    This is a very fun spot for fish tacos, sandwiches, and drinks. It is a mostly outdoor spot that is very dog friendly. The vibe is chill, the people are lovely, and the atmosphere encourages mingling with your neighbors. The food and drinks are really good, too. I've only ever had the fish tacos, because they are just that good.

    This place was so good we came again the next day for dinner!! The line was out the door for dinner but moved pretty quickly. Service was friendly and fast. We got the fried shrimp tacos and soft shell crab sandwich again (our favorites), and tried the Black Sea bass sandwich (blackened), onion rings, Wisconsin cheese curds, a pina colada and modelo. The sides were great. Both days we tried blackened fish and think that they would've tasted better fried, but at least we gave it a chance. We still think the shrimp tacos and the soft shell crab sandwich are the best. This restaurant was probably the highlight of our trip food wise - definitely recommend to those visiting Emerald Isle!!

    Delicious food! Had a line so be prepared to wait, but the food is definitely worth the wait! Decent amount of seating but I can see how it would be limited in seating during peak hours. Staff very friendly. Gives off great beach / island vibes which takes me back to my Grenada days.

    This is my favorite spot on the island. I'm a sucker for great fish tacos, and the Fish Hut has the best fish be ever crammed into my face hole. They're made with fresh grouper, and you can get it fried, grilled or blackened (I like blackened). They also have shrimp tacos, but I don't have a death wish...yet. The sandwiches are solid, and they always have some type of fresh fish of the day. Grab a burger, some cheese curds or poutine, and you've had a pretty great day. Cheers!

    Blackened fish bites, fries in the background as well as the cucumber tomato salad.

    We heard this was "the best spot to get fish on the whole island." We heard this from TWO independent sources, one local and one frequent vacationer. Don't you know, they were right! Don't let the line out the door send you away. It goes quick AND they will bring you a drink from the bar while you wait! The coconut ginger fizz was amazing, as was the Paloma. For food, we tried the blackened grouper sandwich, the blackened fish bites, a small fry, and a small cucumber tomato salad. It was all EXCELLENT. We saw the whole flounder being carried to another table and it also looked fantastic. Great service, incredible food, fun restaurant. Highly recommended!

    Solid seafood restaurant. Order & seat-yourself style. Outdoor and indoor tables available. Long wait any time after 5:30pm, but they serve you drinks as you wait in line. We had no problems getting a table, even with how busy it was. The piña colada was delicious as well as the poke bowl, shrimp tacos, and peel and eat shrimp. A bit over priced for the portion size.

    Be prepared to wait a while and in the heat, but the wait is worth it! This small restaurant has an amazing robust menu. You must wait in line while they serve one by one, but don't worry they come by and get your drink order while waiting in the line. We had the cheese curds and fish bites as an appetizer and both were delicious. Their tartar sauce is chunky and homemade. I had the ahi tuna poke bowl and it was loaded with tuna and tons of toppings. The tacos come with two tacos each and the only downside is that you can't mix and match. We did shrimp tacos, and it came with an amazing sauce. Parking is limited, but there is a bike rack. The line goes out into the parking lot, which is next to a gas station so just be careful for the cars inside is not air-conditioned so make sure to dress accordingly.

    Food was great, the service was excellent, the staff was extremely friendly and efficient, definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family. ,

    There's always a line but not to worry: It moves rather quickly and they serve drinks while you wait.
    Jim K.

    The perfect casual beach restaurant. There's always a line out the door but don't be discouraged because it moves pretty fast AND they serve drinks while you wait! A great way to make new friends. The food is worth the wait! Many of the usual suspects on the menu served nicely fried or grilled. The seafood is fresh, too. I loved my generous large fried shrimp. The oysters and Grouper were excellent as well. Fish Hut works on an honor system which is very cool. Very casual and family-friendly with seating inside and out. Oh, dogs are welcomed, too!

    One of the best restaurant experiences my family has ever had! The wait in line is part of the experience. A super fun guy came out to get our drink orders while waiting. Their selection of cocktails and beers (mostly cans and bottles) is excellent. I'm a beer snob and usually hard to please. I was pleasantly surprised with plenty of great options! They're very family friendly. The atmosphere is great. The menu is expansive and everything our party of eight had was thoroughly enjoyed! It's hard to find a place that pleases everyone in our group but this place accomplishes that! FIVE STARS, y'all. This is our favorite spot to eat in Emerald Isle!

I love roasted brussel sprouts. Great selection of cocktails and mocktails. Originally we went to the Back Bar and then learned it opens at 4pm.

    Way back in the day (2003) I worked for OCHD as their immunization tracker & would accompany our…read moreimmunization nurse to the middle schools for Hep B & Tetanus shots to 6th graders. 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!
