Swain's Seafood and Cut Restaurant 8317 East Oak Island Drive, Oak Island, NC 28465

"Good food and the service was excellent! Blackened fish tacos were so tasty and the portion size was impressive. My wife had oysters and they were really good. The hush puppies and fries were crisp and not oily whatsoever. It was quiet, which we like, and the decor is very nice. I can strongly recommend."

"Came here for wife's bday. Great service. The food is amazing. Even the salad with dinner was impressive. Took home alot of leftovers. Try the slap ya mama shrimp app. Delish ! Will be back next weekend. Great specials too !"

"Highly recommend this place We drove down from OIB to dine here. Our food was absolutely delicious. We indulged on their homemade chips for our appetizer, house salad prior to our meal and the Mermaid Delight is absolutely delicious. It's enough for 2 people to share. Totally wortg the money and the drive down. Reservations recommended*"

"Based on Google ratings and recommendation from a neighbor, I decided to go there Saturday for dinner. After reviewing the entire menu and having a hard time choosing, I decided to go with the “Mermaids Delight”, a seafood pasta dish. I have eaten quite a few seafood pasta dishes in my life. I might’ve had one as good but I’ve never had anything any better than this dish was phenomenal. The scallops and shrimp were so fresh and they didn’t skimp on the seafood or the mushrooms. There was so much pasta after I got through eating the complementary homemade potato chips and a side salad, I could only eat about a third of the pasta. I took the rest home and demolished it for lunch the next day. This dish was so big two hungry adults could easily split it and be completely full. The complementary homemade potato chips I bring with ranch dip were absolutely delicious. Every employee I was close to spoke to me and was very polite and courteous! All the desserts are fresh and made in the house, and my neighbor said they’re worth their weight in gold, but I do not eat sweets so I can’t vouch for this, but they do look delicious! I can’t say enough about Customer Service. I sat at the bar on both visits and bartender was so polite, professional and very attentive!"

"Swain's was awesome! The food was bang on - we got the grouper with hush puppies and fries, and fried shrimp with the same sides. Everything was cooked just right. They also have Coke Zero, if you’re into that! Our waitress was super friendly and on the ball, always made sure we were okay. The place itself was cool too, comfy seating and a nice atmosphere. We did try the mudslide cake for a chocolate fix, but it was a bit too heavy on the liquor for us. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she took it right off our check, which was really cool of her. If you're in the area, definitely hit up Swain's, you won't regret it."
