Preston's Corner Bar & Grill

Definitely worth a stop. Think upscale luncheonette/diner with 2 great bars & the most accommodating staff I’ve experienced in a long time. SHOUT OUT TO JACKIE at the bar. I ordered the best Titos dirty martini & I was in a weird mood for a banana split. No problem she says & she/the kitchen ROCKED IT! Thank you! PS views of the water too depending on where you sit. Pss - Gluten Free bread option for sandwiches.

We stopped into this place for St. Patty's Day 2024. Our girl group has been into the space for an afternoon drink and app about a week before, but they had mentioned the menu for St. Patty's Day.

We were VERY happy with our meal. 3 of us ate like queens in green that day.

No matter the day or reason, I would HIGHLY recommend this place. The food was yummy, drinks are good, the staff is wonderful and the owners are delightful!

Great food, amazing service, and such a great atmosphere. Sandi was our server and was warm welcoming and a pleasure to have dinner with. She was so quick with my family’s multiple requested, butter, lemon, more drinks! 😅 Loved that it was close to the water and we could walk the town and one way streets. Parking was easier than some other areas around. It was easy to find and get out of. Steak fries were great option, and coconut shrimp with their sauce is out of this world great! Sandi made the recommendation on the crab dip and coconut shrimp and I was not disappointed.

Absolutely love this place! The food annnnd staff are on point. Perfect casual dining in Swansboro. Super Clean and Friendly! The new updates in the back bar are perfect for a dinner cocktail! Oh and their turkey sandwich is amazing…

I went on Saturday around 11 am, and when I arrived I immediately felt the lack of staff. We waited a long time to be assigned a table and then more time to see the menu and ordered. Even that our waitress was super kind and efficient and she and the flavor of our food changed our experience in the place. We ordered the Florentine Benedicts w home fries, the Philly Omelet w steak fries and coffee w biscuits! Everything was delicious! If you are in Swansboro is the place to have breakfast, it worths the waiting

In from Ohio. Met family for dinner and couldn't have asked for a more welcoming place. Food was excellent and great portions and reasonably priced. Best Shrimp and Grits in a long time.

Excellent service and food! You can look out over the water while you enjoy a delicious fresh meal. The strawberry margarita was perfectly made. The claim chowder is the best I've had on the east coast. Highly recommend this place. Well worth the visit and I will be returning often.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Swansboro Food & Beverage Co., and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and attentive staff that made me feel right at home.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the amazing fried chicken biscuits. They were absolutely delicious, with perfectly crispy chicken and fluffy biscuits that melted in my mouth. Each bite was a flavor explosion, and I couldn’t help but savor every moment.

What truly sets Swansboro Food & Beverage Co. apart, however, is the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were not only attentive and efficient but also displayed genuine warmth and friendliness. It’s rare to find a place where the staff goes above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, and Swansboro Food & Beverage Co. certainly excels in this aspect.

The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, creating a comfortable environment for a great meal. The menu offers a variety of options to cater to different tastes, but I highly recommend trying their fried chicken biscuits.

Overall, my experience at Swansboro Food & Beverage Co. was exceptional. The friendly and attentive staff, combined with the mouthwatering fried chicken biscuits, made for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend paying a visit to this gem of a restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!

Almost walked out due to it taking 10 minutes to get our menu (I was July 3rd and I’m assuming short staffed), I’m glad we didn’t. We opted for the Crab Cake Benedict and Country Fried Steak. The hollandaise sauce was so creamy and fully of flavor. The gravy on the country fried steak was full of sausage and flavor. 10/10 will be coming back.

My wife and I stopped at Swansboro Food & Beverage Co. for lunch on our way to Greenville for an ECU baseball game. It was a little bit of a detour, but only a few minutes out of the way and very much worth it! The location is nice, right on Front Street just after you turn off 24. There's some parking on the street on the front and side of the building, and there's tons of parking in the dedicated parking lot in back of the building. I did also notice a handicap ramp up to the entrance from the back parking lot. It's nicely decorated, very clean, and there are nice views of the water from most anywhere in the restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and the food was excellent! My wife got the spinach salad with blackened chicken and I had the Diablo Po' Boy, which was amazing! I wanted to try the Banana Pudding Cheesecake, but they'd just taken it out of the oven and it needed time to cool before they could cut it. If the other offerings are any indication, I'm sure that cheesecake will be just as divine as it sounds! The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. If you're passing through the area on highway 17, it's definitely worth a few minutes off the beaten path to make a stop here...and even worth a day trip just to check out this part of town. We've been to the Swansboro waterfront a few times recently and it's quickly becoming one of our favorite places to spend an afternoon! I will be back for a piece of that cheesecake!!!

I wasn’t a big fan until they recently changed ownership. Now I’m a HUGE fan. The food was so good. It felt a bit pricey for my taste, I was really hoping the food would live up to the prices. It sure did. I had a Cobb salad and the ranch recipe is MUCH better now! It’s was delicious and worth every penny. My daughter had the meat omelet and it looked small, but it was very fluffy and filling. We also had chicken fried steak, a cheeseburger, and kids tenders (others at our table). Every single thing was excellent and worth the price. I would highly recommend Preston’s Corner!!

Never have I ever had a bad experience… food or service here! Last night, folks were so nice from the hostess who greeted us to our server. The scallop special couldn’t have been better… I got blackened and they were seasoned and cooked perfectly! Can’t wait to get there for the new breakfast brunch service soon!
(also had French Onion Soup I must get each time) and cold fresh big salad with yummy orange poppyseed dressing.)

Husband got the chicken sandwich plain with fries. I got the prime rib dip. Amazing. Love those fries. Prime rib sandwich full of flavor. Sat at the bar during lunch and had great service. Going back to check their brunch out on a Sunday! Menu looked amazing.

We recently had my daughter in law’s Bridal Shower here and Heather and the staff were so amazing. They went above and beyond by helping us get set up and making everything go so smooth and easy. I can’t thank Heather enough for the all the little details she added without me even asking. The back bar area was just the perfect space for our little event. As always, the food was amazing! We are looking forward to having more private events here. It’s the perfect place and exactly what our little town needed.

We stopped in to get a hot meal before Dorian, but we got so much more. This is now our favorite table service restaurant in Swansboro.

They were out of a couple of items because they couldn't get trucks in for delivery. We cannot wait until they have a full menu so we can try even more.

We started out with my wife getting a Blackberry Sangria and I got there specialty cocktail Cherry Bourbon Manhattan. To me, the sangria was overly sweet, but it was perfect to the wife. My Manhattan was on point and tight. Great cocktail.

Then we had individual appetizers in my wife had French Onion soup and I had the Corn & Clam chowder. My wife is a French Onion soup fanatic. I mean she will have it any time and any where, no matter the meal or the outside temperature. She actually told me and then anyone within earshot that was the best she had ever eaten. Even better than an actual French restaurant had made. I thoroughly and completely enjoyed my chowder. Firm corn kernels, meaty clams and big delicious chunks of bacon made the chowder to die for. Amazing.

For our entrees, my wife went with the Applewood Sirloin and Bay Scallops (sea scallops were not available) with smashed potatoes and whole kernel corn and added sauteed mushrooms to her steak. Her steak came out perfectly cooked to medium rare with beautifully sauteed mushrooms on top. She had a large side of bay scallops cooked in butter that were still firm and not chewy at all. The mashed potatoes were good and corn must've been good because it disappeared quick.

I had a 2 seafood combo of Spicy Fried Shrimp and Fried Flounder with coleslaw, fries and hush puppies. The spicy shrimp have some heat without being overbearing and the flounder was flaky and crisp but not greasy. There were 7-8 large shrimp and the flounder was a nice size piece of fish. The slaw was creamy but not watery, fries were crispy with a nice snap. I did not get to the hush puppies but they did not feel greasy like so many do.

Our server, Katie, was phenomenal with her service. She was attentive without being overbearing and she made great suggestions. She knew the menu and apologized for the lack of some items, despite it not being their fault.

Go here. Eat here. Drink here. You will enjoy without question. I cannot recommend it enough. Next time I'm getting The Company Burger.

This place in a little town of Swansboro is amazing. On a cold night I would encourage you to stop by for a crock of clam chowder soup. This is the best soup around. It is full of flavor and I will ensure you will enjoy every bite. This is a place to dine in or get it to go. So please stop in and try a cup or a crock of the best clam chowder on the east coast.

The breakfast here was very good! We got the crab cake Benedict with a side of cheese grits and shared. It was filling and delicious. I would have preferred the egg to be slightly less cooked so the yolk would run but it really didn't effect my opinion on the meal much. The service was nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant at least for breakfast. The view out of the windows of the water was an added perk.

The best fried oysters I've ever eaten! My companions found the flounder and shrimp po boy to be exceptional as well. Plenty of parking, pleasant setting, great atmosphere.

Went there with my daughter and Girl friend to have dinner and try their new menu, it was Phenomenal. The service was great, Heather was friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and had some great recommendations. After dinner we went to the back bar and had some amazing cocktails and watched the game with some friends. Must visit and try, I will go later this week to try their breakfast menu!!

Great food, awesome service! This was our first experience here but definitely won't be our last!
