Service was good, you wait in line order your food and go pick a spot to sit down. When food is ready server will bring it out to you. Picnic neck tables under the trees and side of building.

It is true that you can't see the menu while in line, but you can go inside and look. Which is not a big deal because while in there, grab a beer from their beer cooler, put one of the koozies on it to keep it cool, and go back and stand in line. You'll pay for it when you order. They also have a server who asks for drink orders from the line (it's much quicker to grab a beer than wait for a mixed drink). We ended up sitting at the bar because two spots opened up. Their mixed drink options are impressive and they are delicious!!! The food is simple while being tasty, filling, and affordable. Onion rings were fried perfectly and not greasy. It is honestly worth the wait. You're on vacation!

If you see a chip with a bubble-those were my favorite. So delicious and could have been a meal for both of us to split. We also got The Gaff and it was absolutely delicious.

My family and I were vacationing in Emerald Isle and chose this restaurant for one of our evening…read moremeals. On June 24th, we first attempted to call the restaurant multiple times in order to place an order. So my husband and I chose to drive to the restaurant to place a carry out order and wait. When the hostess was placing the order, she said that anything over $100 would impose a 18% gratuity. This was a carry out order. We were not being seated in the restaurant. The hostess got the manager Amber. Amber was not receptive at all to our point that this was a carry out order. Our choice to tip or not is our choice. The order was $103. Really. Wow. My daughter insisted she would pay the tip. But my husband and I will not set foot inside this establishment again. Very disappointing. First we were told that the phones were working, but I got a message saying the voicemail had not been set up. Second, we drove in thinking we had to pay to park. Third we placed the order, but, I had to call my daughter to get additional info about cooking preferances. Fourth, we placed the order with the hostess who then tells us there is a 18% tip imposed on orders over $100. The order was $103 (after my husband and I dropped our meals from the order). This is absolutely absurd. Very frustrating evening for my husband and I. We are on vacation, and this is the hospitality shown to visitors. We asked to split the order, so that I could place an order for my daughter and my husband could place an order for us. But oh no, you can't do that. And then we were told that there would be a charge to use a credit card. Do you know how to rub salt in the wound. We paid $133.89 for a carry out food order that was barely over $100.

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.
