CorkScrew Bar & Grille Reviews

Every time I'm in the area, eating here is a must. Food is fantastic, servers are quick and attentive, and it is a nice setting. The best in the area!

With a fun, festive and relaxed atmosphere, this restaurant was just what we were looking for and we had a great time. Our waiter was delightful - welcoming and thorough. When we told him we are vegan, he was careful to let us know what ingredients were in the dishes we ordered. We will definitely be back again.

The only thing that surpasses the wonderful food is that even greater service you get at Corkscrew Bar and Grille! I just moved to the area and have been here twice in the last two weeks. Awesome atmosphere, incredible customer service, and wonderful food!

The 'Cajun' pasta I had was outstanding! My wife had a fried chicken breast served over mash potatoes/greens. Delicious. Didn't have dessert - we had leftovers/to-go boxes. Maybe next time. The drinks were excellent, too. Repeat customers!

We were on vacation this last weekend and went here. It was absolutely amazing. We started with the Cuban Candy for an appetizer. It was fried fish with 2 different sauces. It was fantastic. We both had a grouper special that was over grits with Étouffée with shrimp over collard greens. When I say I didn’t want to stop eating it, omg!! We had to get a box and I never get a box for fish. The service was fantastic. I wanted dessert because I kept seeing the dessert tray but I just couldn’t. The prices were exceptionally reasonable. Also very nice atmosphere. We sat inside. Highly recommend.

Food was good. Service was great. But the best part of my experience was when my friend lost his ring while there and when we realized it was missing we immediately called. Thanks to the honesty of the busser, he found it and turned it in. Thank you so much!

If you’re looking for a fantastic spot to grab a bite in New Smyrna Beach, CorkScrew Bar & Grille is a must-visit! 🍽️ From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you sit inside or enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio, the setting is perfect for a relaxed meal or drinks with friends. The food is incredible—classic American favorites with a Southern twist. I highly recommend the shrimp po’ boy and the Southern chicken with collard greens—both packed with flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, the blackened alligator is a must-try! And don’t even get me started on Bob’s Smokin’ Chili—it’s got the perfect balance of spice and smokiness. For drinks, they have a great wine selection, creative cocktails, and awesome daily specials (hello, $5 margaritas! 🍹). And if you have a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and get the bourbon pecan pie—it’s the perfect way to end your meal. Service here is top-notch—the staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to recommend dishes or accommodate special requests. It’s one of those places where you can always count on a great experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, CorkScrew Bar & Grille is a spot you don’t want to miss! PS The Deserts are Amazing!

A fun, casual, open-air restaurant in the center of New Smyrna Beach (mainland). The people are attentive. The margarita are $5 all day every day. The good is inventive and always well done. Sit outside and watch the happening on the street or inside with the A/C, service is the same and the open-air indoors feels a lot like sitting outside. Definitely a must-try.

Great local place with a rotating special each night. The staff is friendly and attentive. Each time we have eaten there we have tried something different and we have never had a bad dish. Great place for small groups or a date night. Our personal favorite is the Ossobuco, it is fantastic. Tender, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Overall, the place has a great local vibe is walking distance from everything on Canal Street. Stop in for a nice and a great taste of local flavor next time you are in the area.

The BBQ pulled pork was phenomenal and the fries were the best! Our waiter was the best, making suggestions and constantly attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and exciting.
