CorkScrew Bar & Grille Reviews

We have been here for 8 years and have NEVER had a bad meal. Kudos to the kitchen and staff.

Our party ordered the FL Po Boy Mahi, All American Burger, Creole Pork Ribeye, Stuffed Chicken, and Shrimp & Grits. We all tried a bit of each and not a complaint on any of it. Deserts were wonderful and watermelon mojito. Service by David was awesome. 10 stars.

This is one of my favorite places for lunch in New Smyrna Beach. Their curry chicken salad is the best I have ever had!

Creative specials, along with the tried and true dining options. Fun, with indoor and outdoor spaces. I always have difficulty picking out the side dishes, I want them all. Great Staff. Thank you to all.

Great food, nice atmosphere, would definitely try again. Had prime steak Philly and buttermilk chicken sandwich. Had to take both home as we had a starter of pretzel sticks, which we very good but filling.

My daughter surprised me for my birthday and flew in to celebrate with my husband and me. We decided to go to the beach for a few days and stopped for dinner. So glad we did. The atmosphere was perfect for enjoying time together and the food was delicious. We loved our cocktails and the Caymus! We don’t see it on menus by the glass and it’s one of my favorites. Kate was our server and she was excellent! She was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. She was very helpful with recommendations, including the amaretto almond cake for our dessert which was over the top delicious. Thanks Kate for helping to make my birthday with my daughter one I’ll always remember.

Delicious! Steak Salad! Stuffed Avocado! Suggestion - slice and dice avocado in the skin to make eating it more accommodating. Serve with spoon!

Thank you for the delicious meal! Everything was wonderful! The calamari was light & crispy & tender. The Filet Skewers were so tender. The cornbread was simply perfect & the Swamp Pasta was delicious. We loved our drinks too and our waitress, Kate was fantastic.

First time in & I will be back! Bartenders, Nick and Kyle were great. I started with the guacamole which was extremely fresh. Then for my entree I got the Parmesan crusted mahi. Every bite was delicious. The place is clean and has a good atmosphere to it. Excited to try more!

My husband and I went last night for some appetizers and we had the sweetest girl serving us named Kaley! She was so sweet and took time to visit with us even though she was so busy. I love the atmosphere there and all of the people and it’s great food.

This is an excellent restaurant. Get a table outside if you can and watch the shoppers stroll by. It's hard not to order the Key Lime Mahi sandwich, my favorite ! A little pricey but definitely worth it. This is the first choice for lunch for the wife and I when we are in NSB.

I came here with my family tonight for the first time! Kate was our server and as someone with a gluten allergy I couldn’t have been more grateful for her incredible service. She helped accommodate my allergy thoroughly starting with the drinks I ordered a key lime martini and she instantly knew to remove the graham cracker crust due to the gluten, to appetizers (mojito scallops) she asked if my family they wanted to make it gluten free, followed by my main dish which was the filet with a side of sweet potato! She was so knowledgeable about the menu to help me navigate the gluten free options. I haven’t had a gluten allergy for long and I am always anxious to try a new restaurant with my allergy and Kate was truly amazing! The food was terrific and my family and I will be the new regulars at the corkscrew!

We had brunch for Mother's Day today. First visit and it won't be the last! Food was so fresh and delicious. Beautiful atmosphere and we enjoyed the choices for brunch. Everything was outstanding and we really loved the fresh pretzels and beer cheese!! Thank you for a wonderful start to my special day!

Impressive. There was nothing placed before us that wasn't wonderful. We'll be back later in the week.

We had such a wonderful experience at Corkscrew Bar and Grille. My husband and I stopped in for lunch and everything exceeded our expectations. The vibe was great and welcoming. We ordered the fish sandwich with the fresh catch of the day and it was absolutely delicious—so fresh and flavorful! One of the best we’ve ever had. Our server, Kate, was fantastic—attentive, kind, and always one step ahead making sure we had everything we needed. She truly made the experience even better.

We had an amazing (birthday) dinner night at the Corkscrew on Februari 17 2026. Sitting at the bar having very good margaritas and amazing appetizers and entrees! The staff is super friendly and helpful, not pushing at all. Highly recommended place when you are staying in New Smyrna Beach!

The food was delicious, perfectly portioned, and equally filling. The decorations were detailed and fun. They had gluten free options, which was nice. 5/5 stars, would recommend!!❤️ (P.S. the B.L.T.A. is a good option if you want something simple, and it's cheaper.)
