Nicky's of Swansboro

I have yet to be impressed with the food.  The staff needs a lesson in customer service.  I've worked in food/bev service before and can be understanding, but I've never been so disappointed.  Word of mouth is powerful, especially in a sleepy coastal town.  I hope others are treated better.  Still left a good tip, but I wouldn't recommend this place and if this keeps up I will never be back.

Plenty of tables open at 6:00 PM when We entered. A young man seated or leaning behind the Hostess area asked if he could help us in kind of a below average attitude. I almost said I was there for a haircut, but I didn't. Another person in My party stated We were there to eat and told him the number in our party. (less than 3). He said he would put our name down and it would be about 15 minutes. We looked at all the open tables and hit the road. Consider this was the Thursday night before a big beach weekend. What was to happen on a busy weekend night? For me the war is over.

So it's not technically on the bridge anymore, it's tucked away just by front street, apparently much better parking than the former situation.
The menu seemed fairly interesting, but they were out of a few of the fresher catches. I ventured to try a coastal version of fish tacos. Filling, and quite different, but anything fried in enough oil tastes... well southern.
Portions were large and filling. The beer selection was surprisingly decent.
