Front Street Grill in Beaufort, NC, is a must-visit seafood restaurant that offers an unforgettable dining experience. Nestled right by the waterfront at 300 Front St, this gem has garnered rave reviews for its delectable dishes and stunning views. Diners like LeeHethcox praise the grouper bites and parmesan fries, while Tmack Wolfpack emphasizes the perfection of the calamari and the exquisite Sea Bass, best enjoyed with a delightful sunset and the sight of dolphins swimming nearby.
The menu shines with highlights like the tuna tacos, celebrated by Amanda Cooper for their rich flavors and accompanied perfectly by plantains, which many customers enjoy for the first time. Mele Tong was particularly impressed with the Jamaican Jerk Wings, which were labeled as the best wings she has ever had. Meanwhile, the special of the day, Red Snapper, is a dish that Matthew Brown highly recommends, especially when paired with the exquisite Key Lime pie for dessert.

I had grouper bites and parmesan fries. Very nice. Had a good cocktail too. Nice service and we sat at a pretty waterfront table.

When we visit Beaufort, we always eat here. The calamari was delicious and fried to perfection! We each selected the Sea Bass and it was outstanding! Due to making a last minute Valentines Day reservation, we ended up eating at 5 pm, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were able to watch dolphins swim, directly in front of us for over an hour as sunset approached. It really added to the already lovely atmosphere.

We love this restaurant! The tuna tacos are the absolute best! So delicious and full of flavor! The rice and black beans that come with it are delicious as well! The staff are all always so kind! Most if not all the dishes come with plantains which I'd never had in my life but they are delicious here!

Beautiful views! Saw dolphins while we dined. Service was excellent; Gypsy was the best! Kyla and Parker are fantastic bar tenders! The food was A but the Jamaican Jerk Wings are out of this world! Best wings I have ever had!

This past weekend I was down visiting family, and we finally got to come and try this establishment. I had the special of the day, Red snapper fish. It came on top of some of best mashed potatoes and seaweed salad with mushrooms. The wine of choice was also amazing. And if you have room for desert, get the Key Lime pie; its to die for. The atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable. The customer service was excellent. Very Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

What a great experience we had. First and foremost is the gorgeous view of the water. You feel like you're in a boat because you're so close. Dining and watching the ducks diving was awesome. We arrived at around 5pm on a Friday in March without a reservation and we were lucky enough to get a window table. I'm not sure if that's always the case, so call ahead if the view is important to you. I think this would be a great place to go on a date. The menu is fairly small. However, my husband and I both easily found a couple of options we were happy with. I had the ahi tuna tacos and he had the jerk chicken and wedge salad. When I tell you everything was delicious, I mean amazing. Every single aspect of each dish was spot on and well thought out. Our server, Gypsy, was lovely too. Just the right amount of friendly and very professional. We would like to return to Beaufort just to dine here again and have the same meal! We ordered the strawberry bread pudding to share and it was so very delicious. It was so big that we couldn't quite finish it unfortunately. The bread pudding has fresh tasting strawberries throughout, a strawberry frosting (cream cheese perhaps?), plus whipped cream. So good. The location is right at the beginning of Front Street at number 300, so it's easy to find. I don't usually gush so much over a restaurant, but when it's so good, plus reasonably priced as this one is, I like to spread the joy.

Have been here several times with my family and every time the food and service are exquisite! A few minor improvement: I think the sauce chilli-lime sauce on the calamari appetizer was a little heavy. Might be better served on the side. Side note: a person in our party left their card and one of the employees ran out down the street to return said card! We love it here!

Came here after being rejected with our dog from 2 other waterfront restaurants. Our pooch and we were welcomed warmly including treats and water (and pets) for our dog. Food was good—best I had so far since starting our vacation in Emerald Isle.
