One of Southport's best restaurants. Never had a bad dining experience here and the service is always on point. I wish they'd change out there specials a bit more, but I know Chef Steve has his hands full already. You'll definitely need a reservation.

Got to meet the owner also the chef. He has a real passion for food. By far the best sea food I have ever had. He even mad lima beans taste amazing. Only problem is every time I go out for a real sit down meal I will compare it to Mr. P's.. and be let down. I live out of state and will probably never get it again ?

I was fortunate enough to make Mr P’s my first stop after flying in from Michigan. Superb food, the best scallops I have ever had !!! Also had the fried goat cheese salad that was the perfect accompaniment to the scallops! Known for their craft cocktails which we tried the blueberry basil cocktail which had been crafted by our lovely bartender Taylor, was to die for! We were treated as if everything had been created just for us! We are heading back in a few days , I have not tried it all yet!
Mr. P’s is jewel in Southport, NC. The seafood was some of the best I’ve ever had. I hadn’t had the soft shelled crab since my days in New Orleans. It was outstanding! The service was excellent! Our waitress, April, was extremely knowledgeable and her recommendations for our entrees were spot on! Highly recommended!

We’ve heard raves about the prime rib here, so fussy British hubby got that and fried shrimp. I got a French dip made with the prime rib. The Angus beef lived up to its name in terms of tenderness and fat content…BUT both of us felt as if we were chewing on a tall glass of water, for all the flavor it contained. Only afterwards did we realize there was a reason the waitress offered to have the beef blackened. At least then it would have had some type of flavor. **Here I will note Covid taste loss can play a part in this experience. It’s a different world now and some chefs have upped their game in response. Have the wait staff inform guests of subtle flavors and suggest blackened meat for more robust flavor. ** As for the rest, my Londoner thought the shrimp was just passable, but gave high marks for the salad ingredients being fresh. He thought my fries were the better sort of frozen restaurant-quality product. Taking one star off for service because the waitress could have dropped off our check before taking orders from her large group, or give it to someone else to deliver. We waited an uncomfortable amount of time at our cleared table. Another organizational note, you need a reservation for this restaurant. We’ve been turned away at 4:30 in the past, so this time we had our reservation but the couple in front of us didn’t. They were turned away at first but a waitress suggested a tiny table for 2 right next to the door. I only mention this because the place was barely 1/3 full the entire hour we were there. It just seems like an odd choice for a bistro.

We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at this restaurant, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! After a disappointing start at another place, we took a chance and came here, and it truly exceeded our expectations.
The lady at the reception told us there would be about an hour wait, but she noticed it was just the two of us and quickly found us a table—such a thoughtful gesture! Our waiter was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the menu and attentive throughout the meal.
The food was incredible, and everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience! Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or just a great night out!
Probably the best dinner restaurant in Southport. The French onion soup with chunks of prime rib is amazing!

7:30 reservation was seated 7:50 after complaining. There were several open tables. Food was delicious as usual. Soft Shell crabs incredible. Service a bit lacking. Never cleaned appetizer plates and just put entrees on table. Never filled our water after asking, did not bring my husband a 2nd biscuit after asking twice.

We've eaten here a few times in the last 20 years and it's always a competition as to what's better..the food or the service. It's nearly always a tie. Tons of great specials and off menu items. It's moderate expensive but well worth it. Highly recommended.

Haven't had a dining experience this perfect in years! From the hostess to the servers, and all the in-between everyone was so friendly and courteous. The food was absolutely amazing and prices quite fair. Will definitely come back next year when vacationing.
