Swell Charcoal Grill & Raw Bar

"Great food, great environment and great customer service. I've been in Norfolk for a while now and they have some of the best oysters. Truly a great restaurant for date night or just a delicious outing of family and friends."

"Great garlic parmesan wings!!! Freakishly fantastic fries!!!! Wonderful fried shrimp!!! Excellent flounder sandwich!!!! Relaxed and pleasant atmosphere! Friendly and personable chef and owner/ bartender/waiter!!!!! This is a "must eat there" restaurant!!!!"

"Great local eatery. A bit pricey, but worth it. Awesome bourbon selection and as others have also said, the calamari is "on point". Also visited here for brunch - great food / pricey drinks. Give this place a shot...!!"

"Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic atmosphere. If you are visiting Willoughby Spit you have to try this place. The wings are fat and juicy, stocked with liquor, great coffee, and cold oysters. Belly up to the bar and enjoy."

"Since SwelI was recommended, I made sure I mentioned this to our server. We had high hopes. I've had better ribs, and I've had worse. They were nicely flavored and came off the bones easily for the most part, but the last 2 were cooked a bit too much. However, they were still tasty. I really enjoyed the fries, though. I noticed the location was very clean, and our server was okay but not as good as the one who served a table near us. For the price we paid for our meals my wife's was disappointing. She actually ate all of her scallop seafood plate and was still hungry. This is unusual for her since she is a small person."
