Located in downtown Swansboro, North Carolina. Saltwater Grill is in the heart of the “Friendly City By the Sea” overlooking the Intracoastal waterway and Bogue Sound. At Saltwater Grill we feature the finest in waterfront dining with a view from every table either inside in a spacious dining area or on our second story deck overlooking the waterfront and docks. We also offer dock dining in season and outside dining along the waterfront for special occasions. Offering fresh local seafood, steaks and cuisine with an international flair prepared by Chef Martin Berndt. Saltwater Grill also offers catering for all types of events and live music outside on our downstairs patio. As we say “Saltwater cures everything!”
Picked a restaurant randomly in this charming waterfront town. Couldn’t be happier! We sat outside even though it was 95 degrees. There was a constant breeze to keep us cool. We had she-crab soup and the strawberry spinach salad topped with yellow fin tuna. It was so delicious! We also had the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp were huge and battered beautifully. We enjoyed watching boats pull in and out of the dock as we ate. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We went for lunch. Each ordered something different. My wife had fish tacos. My daughter had a seafood salad. I had a shrimp sandwich. All were absolutely outstanding! I was impressed by how fresh the seafood was and how creatively it was presented. And, we all agreed the french fries that came with my sandwich were the best we’d had in years! Besides all of that, the service was absolutely outstanding! A fantastic restaurant well worth a drive.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting this place on our lunch date. The atmosphere is so serene and the views are beautiful. The decor is gorgeous, the staff was courteous and professional but what made this place great for me was the Chef’s pride on his food. Incredible food presentation and beyond delicious! Definitely a place to treat your palate. Looking forward to returning to try more of his creations.

A great place to sit on the waterfront, watch the waves roll by as you try a bunch of new takes on traditional dishes. We had the crab cakes and were pleasantly surprised at all the spice and sauces they provided with the meal it was delicious.

The atmosphere, the excellent selection of delectable foods is one of the few reasons we love Saltwater. Add excellently prepared cocktails and cold beer you are ready for a delightful evening overlooking the beautiful White Oak Riverfront. Often live entertainment is happening for everyone’s enjoyment. Come, relax, enjoy a great evening!
