Frying Pan, a beloved Southport spot, offers unmatched hush puppies and stunning views of the Cape. Open late for those looking for a delicious meal, the quick service and variety of appetizers won't disappoint. The restaurant has an amazing view of the sound from the dining room, with seating on pilings that requires climbing stairs, though an elevator is available for those who need it. Customers have enjoyed early dinners with favorites such as fantail shrimp, scallops wrapped in bacon, and crab cakes, all described as delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, with many customers praising their service. Visitors have noted that the food is fantastic, with a great selection and affordable prices. The hush puppies, served with whipped creamy butter when you sit down, are handmade and considered the most delicious treats ever. There is a large selection of drinks, including beach vibe options. Many guests appreciate the waterfront ambiance and amazing views, making it clear that Frying Pan is worth visiting. Although some have mentioned tight parking and warmth inside the restaurant, the overall experience, highlighted by the quality of food and service, ensures a return visit for many. The crab cakes are noted as among the best in NC, and the seafood platter, featuring shrimp and scallops, is also highly recommended.
