“Had a great first experience here with 5 adults and 2 kids. Fast service, great sized serving of perfectly seasoned red snapper, the friendliest staff, and a good espresso martini. Jill was our server and she was phenomenal! We enjoyed chatting with her and she was super helpful for us navigating the menu. Definitely would be back!!“

“Best restaurant on the island for breakfast hands down! Love having a morning mimosas and some eggs and bacon then walking on the pier afterwards.“

“Great food, folks and views!“

“We found this restaurant via Google search. We showed up without a reservation(sorry). We were welcomed and offered two seats at the bar. What a fantastic experience. Miranda was our server and there was nothing she could have done to make our dining experience more special. We spoke with the owners, the chef, and several servers, and everyone there made sure our dining experience was perfect. The drinks, the wine, the apps, the food(tuna nachos, crab fritters and shrimp Seoul bowls), everything was spectacular. We are already planning our next visit!“

“😍Just lovin' on a coastal boil, NC style.“

“Rebecca was our server and she was fantastic. The prime rib, oysters 3x3, wine and salad were all scrumptious. The only downside was the noise level in our space (we were in room without bar) was so high it hurt our ears. Mind you the 'noise
makers' were having a great time, but really dampened our enjoyment couldn't indicate 4.5 stars on review.“

“Fishy Fishy is a gem! It blends the best views, with excellent food and service. We first came as tourists, and now are residents of the area, and it's still our go-to restaurant in the Yacht Basin. We love a good early or late lunch, overlooking the water. The servers are personable and attentive. Believe me, it's not just a tourist stop. It's the type of restaurant you crave and expect in a special place like Southport.“

“Have lived down here for 5 years. This is the first time we came to Oliver's, and we were not disappointed.! The food was amazing. The server jacqueline, really hustled and bustled with a smile on her face and very, very sweet! My husband is a diabetic and also on dialysis, and has to watch his intake on certain things. And they did his French fries without salt, like we asked, and instead of frying the catfish, he baked it . If I could give jacqueline, a higher than 5 stars. I would .“

“Oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls and cold beer! All delicious and wait staff friendly! Enjoyed ourselves!“

“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!“

“Dinner tonight at Fish Bites was fantastic! Grouper, risotto, green beans! We had one of their amazing desserts, lemon blueberry cake! Very, very busy, service was great and so friendly!!“

“Jasmine was very kind and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the meal. Good food and atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere and service!“

“My sister and I ate here in late March. There were some locals at the bar, but not very busy for a Friday night. We ordered onion rings that were the best I’ve ever had. The sauce on the side made me want to lick the plate. We both ordered the catfish, which was lightly breaded and exceptional. The slaw was good and it came with yummy hush puppies and fries, as well. Took half of it home in a box. The server was so friendly and quick with everything even though she covered the bar and the dining room. I’m glad we gave this place a try.“

“They came to Newland, NC and have been giving out free meals all week to the community. Everything has been wonderful. Thank you for being here and your kindness. 😊“
