My husband and I enjoyed a lovely romantic dinner here during our family trip. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, just a little dim for my taste, but everything else was wonderful.

About Riverside Steak & Seafood

Riverside Steak & Seafood sits in a beautifully renovated two-story home in the heart of Swansboro — and the moment you walk in, it feels like it. The dining room is cozy and dimly lit, perfect for a date night or a family dinner that feels a little more special than the usual beach-town spot. Guests rave about the crab dip appetizer, the She-Crab soup, and nightly specials like lobster ravioli and grouper with Andouille sauce — food that's artfully plated without the inflated price tag. The sweet potato muffins, homemade ranch dressing, and Mississippi Mud Pie have their own fan clubs in the reviews. Come in, take your time, and let the attentive staff take care of the rest.
