Boro Cafe And Bakery - Swansboro

Anything Bang Bang! They know how to make bang bang shrimp, bang bang chicken- get it! Wait staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a cool atmosphere, we went twice on our trip.

The Good: The Boro is one of the few restaurants in town open after eight, which is a win in itself. The vibes were right! Set on a stretch of historic buildings, they have a beautiful and expansive patio which overlooked a country music concert that was going on in the parking lot across the street. The Meh: Service is okay Food is a lackluster: The fried seafood platter was super bready. The crab dip chips were overcooked and the crab dip a weird gloopy texture and taste. My chef's seafood platter which consisted of grilled scallops, flounder, and shrimp was also pretty meh. The scallops were super tough and the rest of the food under seasoned. We were hungry and it was late so we ate it but otherwise not someplace I would recommend driving out of our way for.

This place never disappoints. I had the Steak burger with no bun and our waitress Taylor made sure I had extra lettuce to use as the bun. I tried the French fries and they were very good. The coleslaw was good but I like mine with just a little extra mayo. Service was great. Taylor was friendly and paid attention to our needs. The Boro was quiet inside when we came in on a Wednesday at five but the outside was full. Kudos to the Boro... successful dinner again! 5/22/24

Me and my fiancé absolutely love this place! The service is always wonderful and the food is spectacular. We've had the bang bang shrimp more times than I can count, the chowder, burgers, grilled cheese, pasta, specials, etc. Every dish is delicious each time. I would HIGHLY recommend paying them a visit next time you're debating where to eat in the area. You won't be disappointed

PA-LEASE slap yo mamma- they put their foot in it! This food is stupid amazing! I swear my mouth and my body was dancing. We had the shrimp n grits, the curry shrimp and pecan praline cheesecake! By the time the cheesecake got here I forgot to take a photo and dove in!
