“There's nothing low about this country boil, it is all high caliber. I ordered a sample of all they offered and everything was fresh. Even the andouille sausage's spicy flavor was a pleasant surprise. Quantities were ample. Condiments were provided. Their boil seasoning is steps above Old Bay, with a slight kick depending on how much you use. I utilized their suggestion to use their signature brew for the boiling. On the subject of brews, I partnered this feast with their popular and equally flavorful Taco Life Mexican style lager. On top of everything mentioned, I now have a souvenir bucket in remembrance of a great meal.“

“Outer Banks Boil Co. did the catering (low boil and bbq) for my son’s rehearsal dinner and I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!! Absolutely amazing to work with! Not only did the come, set up and cook an amazing meal, they also walked around to make sure everyone had everything they needed, encouraged them to go back for more food AND they walked around collecting plates, cleaning up and asking if our guests needed anything! When they left it looked like they had never been there but our very happy and full bellies were thrilled that they had catered!! And don’t forget to add on key lime pies for dessert—absolutely delicious! Great service, great prices and incredible hospitality!!“

“Provision Company was amazing! I met a friend there for lunch, and we both ordered the crab cake special. It was absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were full of flavor and loaded with crab, the shrimp was fresh, and the corn and potato salad sides were so good.

The location is beautiful, right on the Cape Fear River. We sat facing the water and enjoyed the gorgeous view while we ate. The whole place has such a fun, relaxed coastal vibe.

One of my favorite little surprises was seeing the great egret the locals affectionately call Diva, who was patiently waiting on the far side of the building for shrimp. Such a fun touch to an already wonderful lunch. Great food, great view, great vibe — I’d definitely go back!“
