We had a culinary experience that we haven't had in a while.The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, the outside is relaxed.I was worried this place would be a tourist trap but it was nothing like that.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free items are marked on the menu.“

“Wonderful French onion soup on the menu and it was flavor dense with amazing rye sourdough croutons.. we try to try something different every time we go because everything is so wonderful .. And the service is always great. Love both Carl amd Carolina. Thanks Southern for taking such good care of us.“

“Petronies is ok when pepes is closed...but pepes is the best pizza hands down in Brunswick county and I've had them all fro ny to Florida ..and other menu items represent that flavor and quality...I would really hate to see this hidden gem not make it here in our little beach town .,.prices are comparable to less desirable choices in the area but I'd rather pay the extra buck and get that overall quality....I just can't say enough...try it all,you won't be dissatisfied .Vegetarian options: With a few changes you can have a complete veggie menu“

“This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. A quaint little mom and pop looking place. Clean. You can tell the owners care about their restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious. We got the fried cauliflower for our appetizer. It was lightly battered and fried similar to a tempura style. It came with a warm honey sauce. My husband got a perfectly cooked filet with vegetables and it looked like it came straight from a fine dining establishment. I got the prime rib with new potatoes and green beans and was not disappointed. Again perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The horse radish sauce was just the right touch for the prime rib. We'll definitely dine here again.“
