13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Southport

“Rebecca was our server and she was fantastic. The prime rib, oysters 3x3, wine and salad were all scrumptious. The only downside was the noise level in our space (we were in room without bar) was so high it hurt our ears. Mind you the 'noise
makers' were having a great time, but really dampened our enjoyment couldn't indicate 4.5 stars on review.“

“Fishy Fishy is a gem! It blends the best views, with excellent food and service. We first came as tourists, and now are residents of the area, and it's still our go-to restaurant in the Yacht Basin. We love a good early or late lunch, overlooking the water. The servers are personable and attentive. Believe me, it's not just a tourist stop. It's the type of restaurant you crave and expect in a special place like 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 .“

“Provision Company was amazing! I met a friend there for lunch, and we both ordered the crab cake special. It was absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were full of flavor and loaded with crab, the shrimp was fresh, and the corn and potato salad sides were so good.

The location is beautiful, right on the Cape Fear River. We sat facing the water and enjoyed the gorgeous view while we ate. The whole place has such a fun, relaxed coastal vibe.

One of my favorite little surprises was seeing the great egret the locals affectionately call Diva, who was patiently waiting on the far side of the building for shrimp. Such a fun touch to an already wonderful lunch. Great food, great view, great vibe — I’d definitely go back!“
