CorkScrew Bar & Grille Reviews
Hi, my name is Parker and I am 13 years old and our service was great. Our server was amazing. I tried the turkey skillet mac and cheese. It was amazing. Tell the chef to pat themselves on the back. (Amazing service) We will be back for sure.

Great service from Tyrone, he recommended the shrimp and grits and the ribeye sandwich, both were excellent. Best fried grouper bites I've ever had. Next time in NSB, we will visit again.

We had a lovely lunch on the terrace. Service and food were terrific. But the best service came after our visit. I left my purse and Jed, the manager, went above and beyond the call of duty to over night it back to me. Not only is food and service great, these are the kindest people!

Two years in a row that the swamp pasta didn't disappoint! Will be back next year. My favorite dish ever!

Girls’ lunch + $5 margaritas = instant mood booster!
This is one of my absolute favorite spots in town and it never disappoints. The margaritas were flowing, the food was delicious as always, and our server Taylor was just as amazing as the meal—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.
Perfect vibes, great service, and tasty food… basically everything you want for a fun lunch out with the girls. Can’t wait to come back!

If you’ve been looking for a great sangria good food, and fun atmosphere, look no further. White and red sangrias are offered, and well worth it. I went on a Saturday evening, and the crowd was primarily 40+. Menu offered gluten free options—I’m always looking as my oldest child has celiac disease. I will be returning with my daughter so she is able to experience good food and great atmosphere as well. Great place to dine as locals or as visitors. Remember to tip well, and happy dining.

Wow probably the best meal we have had in this whole area for the last 6 years. Food, service, atmosphere are all 5 star quality. Special thanks to Jayce for his outstanding drinks and guidance on what to enjoy. We will be back again and again. Thank you!

NSB is a Vibe!
We had the pleasure of catering an event in New Smyrna at The Grey Room over the weekend, and once we wrapped up, we decided to take a stroll down Canal Street. It was the perfect night ,an old-time car festival was happening, and New Smyrna Beach Brewery was celebrating 12 years, so the energy downtown was fantastic.
After that, we wandered down to New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company to enjoy some live music before ending up at CorkScrew Bar & Grille
I had never been to The Corkscrew before , I was impressed from the moment we walked in. The hostess greeted us warmly, and we chose to sit at the bar, which is something we almost always do when it’s just the two of us. We tend to get better service, and we love the vibe.
Our bartender, Jace, had a smile on his face the entire time. He was incredibly busy, but I loved watching him work his craft. The bar itself is large and well run there was another bartender on the opposite end, two bar backs constantly moving, and someone regularly collecting glasses. Every single person working had a smile on their face. I even overheard one of the dishwashers ask a bar back how his day was going he replied that he was having an incredible day, smiling from ear to ear.
You don’t see that very often.
It was refreshing and honestly inspiring to see a staff that genuinely enjoys working together. Every person we encountered was personable, friendly, and excited to be there ,and that alone set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
Food-wise… wow. I started with the fresh guacamole, which was absolutely delicious and perfectly curated. I really wanted the fried chicken and collard greens, but that’s not on my diet unfortunately (lol), so I opted for two filet skewers with a side of asparagus, served with a delicious homemade mojo & horseradish sauce. My husband went with the bang bang shrimp and pretzel bites, and he was very happy with his decision.
The atmosphere is eclectic ,a little tropical, a little Cuban flair, mixed with quirky magic. Check out the chandeliers and all the cool pieces hanging throughout the space. The bar feels like a grotto, inside and out, and I truly can’t wait to go back.
New Smyrna, you did not disappoint.
