    Breakfast sandwich
    Caroline J.

    Fun old school type diner vibes place where a group of 5 enjoyed breakfast while visiting the beach. Lucked out coming in at a tine with no wait and got seated immediately. I enjoyed my chicken salad and French fries and really enjoyed the flavor of my chicken salad. Husband had a chili cheese omelette with fried potatoes and also enjoyed his breakfast. We also tried their strawberry fritters and they were delicious! Glad we tried them! Our server was very friendly and made sure we had all that we needed. Love the fun old school Elvis decor!

    Rocking with the King!!!

    Absolute must visit in Swansboro! We came for breakfast/lunch and it was really a great experience. The waitstaff were very personable and helpful with recommendations. I had the Reuben ( with in house made corned beef) and onion rings because they hadn't made the homemade chicken salad yet. My companions enjoyed omelettes and pancakes which included locally sourced meats etc. The decor was very 50's/60's nostalgia, mostly centered around Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. Even met King outside!

    Apple and banana fritters

    Bestie has been trying to get me to Yana's for years but the timing never seemed to be right for us to go there together. Finally I was able to give it a try and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The decor makes me think of my family because they love Elvis and the dancing Elvis statue outside gave the restaurant and fun vibe. We had a very short wait prior to our table being ready but it was totally worth it. Bestie said I had to try the fritters and they came out piping hot and smothered in powdered sugar and whipped cream, inviting memories of childhood adventures to the fair to return to mind. The fritters were made to order with our choice of fruit and that day we had apples and bananas. I barely had room to eat my meal of ham and cheese omelet with hash browns and man oh man am I glad I saved some room. That ham and cheese omelet was so gooey and delicious, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. The hash browns were well seasoned and crispy without being overcooked. The toast would've been perfect if it had melted butter on one side but hey not everyone likes their toast buttered. Either way I can't wait to come back to try a burger off the menu because we saw several come out of the kitchen to other people and I was drooling.

    Apple stuffed French toast!

    Happy Holidays! Haven't done a review in a minute but went to Yana's and had the social today. Jebus it was delish. Apple stuffed French toast. The chefs are getting fancy! They say they will be rotating the stuffing. Well worth the trip, even in the off season! 12/10!

    I have to add hot sauce to my biscuits and gravy.
    Karen L.

    Haven't been her for a while so friends stopped by and we had to go. Everyone friendly. Got in before the church crowd. I had biscuits and gravy and my friends had a regular egg and bacon dish. All the food was great. Service and price of meal good. Place clean. We were full and happy when we left.

    Western omelet and grilled biscuit... so good!

    Elvis and Marilyn would be proud of Yana's!! Their Elvis and Marilyn decor is cool and the food is amazing! The service was very good and the food came out fast and hot!!

    Corn beef sandwich

    I enjoyed a breakfast at Yana's I had pancake w sausage, coffee and water It was a busy Saturday morning but got seated in no time. I will definitely return for more of their excellent service and tasty menu

    FRITTERS!!!
    Adrienne W.

    The fritters get 5 stars! GO FOR THE FRITTERS! Everything else is your basic diner experience-although I do live for a sugar canister and not packets ob the table. So the sugar gets 5 stars too. There are lots of old pics on the walls, and the food was prepared quickly. The food was okay-I had an omelette and grits. But I did not come for the breakfast offerings, I came for strawberry fritters. The fritters are a berry dream come true. Like mini berry beignets.

    Western omelette with potatoes!
    Frank W.

    Amazing service and the food is absolutely delicious. Had the western omelette and loved it. Highly recommended for a nice breakfast spot in beautiful downtown Swansboro!

    Veggie omelette and fruit medley with English muffin
    Lesley L.

    Fun stop for brunch with family. Menu has a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. I enjoyed the veggie omelette.

    This is our first time back at the Kettle since returning to OC last September and it is just as I…read moreremember: tasty, down home cooking and friendly folks. I asked our very helpful and sweet server Jersey if she had only 2 choices with one being chicken fried chicken or the daily special Taco Salad, which would she go with and she said the taco salad. So, that's what I ordered. It was very tasty, loaded with 2 types of cheese a side of Jalapeño (which I gave to hubby) alot of fresh tomatoes and lettuce, a side of salsa and sour cream served in a somewhat crispy tortilla shell. And the shell is the only reason for a 4 star vs 5, the shell wasn't as light and crispy as I like it. It tasted as if they fried it several hours ago and honestly, I get why they did it that way as it saves time but the shell just left me disappointed. Hubby ordered a patty melt with fries. We came into town to scope out the Jacksonville Landing for future bass fishing mornings and when I told him we were stopping in here for lunch he already knew he was having the melt. I mean, he thought about it for 90 minutes lol. I've had their melts before and it is yummy. I think though the fries were the star on his plate. They were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside and topped with something akin to Old Bay Seasoning. And they were HOT! Y'all, i mean, they're only fries but rhey were PERFECT! I am seriously alreasy looking forward to our 1st fishing adventure just so we can have lunch at the Kettle once we've caught all the bass. Jersey was quite attentive, but not hovering and warm friendly like only you'll find in the south. Oh, bestie told me to get the chocolate torte because she said, literally, "it's life altering." However, I forgot to so, just another thing for me to enjoy after our initial fishing trip. In some ways, you can go home again.

    This place is off the beaten path but a must visit dinner spot. After hearing great things about it…read morewe finally decided to make the trip and I am so happy we did. This will be a date night spot for us from here on out. I got the Brisket Sliders with Potato Salad (my photo was after eating most of it because I literally could not wait- the phone did not eat first in this case lol). The brisket was delicious and full of flavor. I got the coleslaw on my sliders (they gave me the option to have it with or without) and then I added the Pappy sauce (a tangy mustard type sauce) to them and it was AMAZING. The potato salad was good but I ended up getting too full and took the rest of it to go! My husband and mom tried the Brisket Grilled Cheese which was on their daily special menu and they really enjoyed it. They dipped it in the Pappy sauce as well! Staff were super friendly and attentive to all of the customers. It felt very personal and homey. There was plenty of seating inside and it was well spaced out so you can enjoy your meal with your table and not worry about being too close to others. I highly recommend you try this place! You won't regret it!
