13 Best Seafood Restaurants in 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 .“

“We made reservations, which is definitely for the best during tourist season and likely all year. The table wasn't quite ready, so we grabbed drinks at the bar and they noted our reservation in order to add to that bill. The bartenders were friendly and working fast. All the food was delicious and our waitress did a wonderful job.“

“Fishy Fish Cafe was awesome! The food was seriously amazing—super fresh and packed with flavor. The vibe was laid-back, and the staff was super friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you’re around South Point, definitely check this place out. Highly recommend for anyone craving great seafood and a chill spot. Five stars for sure!“

“As a lifelong fan of Calabash style seafood (with deviled crab as my favorite) I tried the crab cake sandwich and potato salad. Fabulous! You're going to wait, but it's worth it. And this is waterfront, so enjoy the scenery while you wait for a table. With the alcohol, not as kid-friendly as it could be, but not terrible either. Would be great if they could figure out a takeout process. Friendly fast service. Delicious food. Beautiful setting. Will be back!“

“This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Brunswick County. The location, atmosphere, exceptional waitresses and waiters and the best menu. I'm an hour away or I would be there more often.
