    New menu

    A new menu, slight hour change. Still our favorite place! Regulars will always be found here, food is great, can get a little crazy later a night (music & crowd) :)

    Garlic parm wings with fries
    julie a.

    Riptidez was a blast. The atmosphere is amazing, super welcoming staff and overall just a really nice place with amazing vibes. The food... The appetizer was amazing. Can't believe I'm saying this but they have the best bacon cheese fries I have ever had. Amazing cheese pull for the wow factor, crispy bacon and well cooked fries. The main food, not as good as it looks. The burger my boyfriend got had a hair in it, he gave it a second chance after taking it out and found it to be super dry. I got the wings, almost bone dry. There was only one good wing out of the six I ordered. Didn't get any drinks but very much have that gut feeling where you should "only order the bar food" like the finger foods. Highly recommend for drinks, not for the food.

    The outside patio area. It is turfed.

    The food was delicious! I ordered the honey mild boneless wings with fries and a yummy tequila sunrise. I was greeted outside as I had my service dog in training with me and preferred to sit out. My server was very friendly and helpful towards me and my dog. She even offered brought out water for her. The vibes outside were nice as the weather has finally cleared up from the storm. Well priced, great service, awesome drinks. If I'm ever in the area again I will be sure to visit.

    The BEST Cheeseburger!

    Best Cheeseburger! Every once in awhile a girl just needs a burger and fries and when you do... head to Riptidez!

    Came here just to have a couple drinks and a bite to eat..... Small local kind of neighborhood bar. Friendly staff, fun bartendar, and just a fun place to burn some time. Food was delicious... we had the wings which were great with all types of sauces on the side to dip. Da Cheese State is now official in NC.... We will be back to check on our WI chalk drawing.... SHELEN! Shayn n Helen was here!

As the mother of a gluten free toddler, and gluten free myself, I trusted that recommendation completely. I will never make that mistake again. Walking in, the place was flat out disgusting. A trash can shoved directly under the soda machine, jammed against a booth, flies swarming around it like nobody had cleaned in days. FLIES. Next to the soda machine. The only open table and booths were dirty. Like, more than crumbs. We should have walked straight back out the door but we didn't, because we were exhausted and had a 3 hour drive home, and we thought, "How bad could it be?" Incredibly bad, it turns out. The "gluten free" crust was thin, flimsy, and burnt around the edges. And the aftermath has been brutal. My toddler and I have both been glutened so badly we are sick, in pain, and completely wiped out the day after what was supposed to be a fun family trip. Instead of beach memories, I'm nursing my kid through cramps and misery because this place could not be bothered to handle allergen prep or basic cleanliness properly. If you have celiac disease or a real gluten allergy, stay far away from this place. Whatever cross contamination is happening in that kitchen is dangerous, not just inconvenient. I don't care how many people recommend it, the risk is not worth it. We will never go back, and I will be telling everyone I know to avoid it too.

I live locally and can confirm this is a place locals go, it's been a couple of different restaurants over the years, all have been great but we hope Il Cigno is here to stay. If you read my reviews I try to provide data and facts and set expectations. Service / Price - I have been to the restaurant no less than 20 times and the service and people are great! Our last waitress was really fun, even though the place was at mid vacation season madness. I would recommend getting reservations for sure and give yourself time to park. It's very limited. Price, you are going to one of the best restaurants in Swansboro, that has a great wine list and world class chef cooking for you...it's not a sports bar. Expect to pay minimum $18 to $22 per person on average before alcohol. Ambiance - the palace has a fantastic back porch looking out into the White Oak River. If the weather is nice and you can get a back porch seat, it's worth it. The inside is pretty much the same it's been for years, however it's not a bad thing. It's a great combo of old beach elegance (means laid back, but you can dress up or down, have a nice romantic meal or a family dining.) The bar is pretty nice to sit and have a drink or wait for your table. It's not a sports bar, so maybe not the most ideal place to watch a game. Food - it's all good. I have to recommend the eggplant meatsballs, and I don't really like eggplant. They are absolutely fantastic. The only issue is they only give you 3 per serving, which is a little mischievous on Il Congo's part .... it makes you buy to appetizers if you have a normal party of 4. Their salads all good, the house Halibut special is amazing, and my personal fav the Tuscan Salmon. It's just all good! If you are vacationing, go, you will be glad you did.
