Generous helpings, free drink refills, friendly atmosphere. It passed my wife’s scrutiny, so trust me it’s good.“

“I have been a big fan of Mo’s Pizza for years. Today I tried some other menu options and was completely blown away. The pasta and marinara are excellent. The vegetables are well prepared and fresh. They are not heavily sauced but rely on their natural flavor. The roasted potatoes were exceptional. Service was very friendly, prompt and professional. A real plus is being able to get a first rate meal without having to sit in traffic for an hour. Plenty of free parking more bonus points! Highly recommended!“

“Celebrated my birthday at Salt64 as our first visit to the establishment. Exceptional service, David was an outstanding waiter. Food was delicious, brought promptly to our table still hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Due to its size, when all tables were full it was a bit noisy, but well worth the noise for the food and service. Don't skip dessert!“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Brunswick County! The food is consistently spectacular, and I love how the menu is always evolving — it keeps things exciting and fresh. It’s refreshing to dine somewhere that truly values creativity. The drinks are expertly crafted, and the desserts are absolutely out of this world. We come here all the time, and the staff is hands-down the friendliest and most attentive we’ve ever encountered. An all-around amazing experience every single visit!“

“Great food staff and prices 5 stars all the way“

“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.“

“Whoa. Friday - fried flounder and fresh cut french fries. Slaw. The very best fried flounder I’ve ever eaten. We vacation in Oak Island. Fridsy lunch at Sea Biscuit.“

“As we stepped off the ferry onto Bald Head Island, several locals told us there was one place we absolutely had to visit for breakfast and coffee: Jailhouse Provisions.

Luckily, we had our bikes with us, so we hopped on and made the short ride over to the restaurant.

It’s no secret that Jailhouse Provisions is popular. There was a long line when we arrived, but don’t let that discourage you—the staff kept it moving quickly and efficiently.

We ordered the sourdough avocado toast with bacon, and it was absolutely outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and easily one of the best breakfast items we’ve had in a long time. We also tried the sausage, egg, and cheese taco. While it was on the small side, it was packed with flavor and definitely worth ordering.

Keep in mind that you’re on an island, so expect to pay a little more than you would on the mainland. In our opinion, the quality of the food made it worthwhile.

If you’re planning a trip to Bald Head Island, I’d absolutely recommend making Jailhouse Provisions your first stop after getting off the ferry. It’s a fantastic way to start your day.“
