It's the kind of view for dinner I've not had anywhere else.The dinner itself was pretty good. Had a bit of Thai Chile sauce on the perfectly cooked calamari, with a tasty dipping sauce as well. The mashed potatoes I had were a little dry, and the consensus at our table was that everything could have used a little more flavor.Beautiful place, pretty good food; would definitely consider going back when I am in Beaufort again. The view out the back of restaurant is fantastic. Bar drinks were great as well. All of us liked it, but both Husband & I bit into what appeared to be plastic as well. I understand when a restaurant has folks waiting to push the meal a bit. I can only speak for the bartenders and outdoor deck area because where else would you want to want to sit at a place that is on the water?! 7/24/2019I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had here at Front Street! Horrible treatment of customers. My family and I made a much anticipated return this past Saturday night. Salads looked wonderful to me and the picky eater looked happy too. The hostess said that wouldn't be a problem then took 15 minutes trying to figure out where to put us. I agreed the $210 I spent with tip for three would've have been better spent elsewhere. Don't think you'll get a bargain for choosing a special. We asked both the hostess and our server about the 1/2 priced appetizers that were advertised on a whiteboard outside and neither seemed to know what that entailed. I want to give 5 but I just can't. None. Like I said, the place was empty.The waitress was great. My party arrived at 5:30 to find only one other table occupied. The seafood was really fresh. "Like the other customers, I have been turned away by KFC for their high prices and sloppy service over the years. Fries okay. The shrimp and grits were so good I could have licked the plate. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and so flavorful, it came with delicious fried okra and cheesy grits. Note: it was raining very hard. 7/24/2019I apologize that you had a negative experience here at Front Street. I wish the food was as good. Our server spent more time hanging out and socializing then paying attention to the table. Thanks for a great meal. Probably not. This place was amazing! Thank you for your kind words! We made reservations a week in advance but we're told there were only 5:30 or 8:30pm reservations available. We booked a table, and when we got to the restaurant, we were told it was going to be 15 minutes. My party arrived at 5:30 to find only one other table occupied. We want everyone to have access to better-for-you options and…. We sat at the lovely outside bar overlooking the harbor, watching the wild ponies on Shackleford Island. Shared the calamari appetizer upon recommendation of the server. Not specialty cocktails. Eating at Front Street Grill is an experience. I got mine with salad (just greens) with a nice maple cider vinaigrette, and Sis got hers with sweet potato fries. 7/24/2019I am sorry you had the experience you did on your visit to Front Street! ", "This place is always a must go to when we're in NC. We sat at the lovely outside bar overlooking the harbor, watching the wild ponies on Shackleford Island. In short, we wanted to open a place where we would really like to go. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone and definitely will never be back. That is not our normal standard of service and I would love to talk with you. We'll definitely be back. However, I've recently discovered their $5 fill up boxes which includes a meal, cookie, sides, and a drink!
