Cape Fear Seafood Company

The Porter’s Neck location has an odd layout of the seating areas. It’s very much a chain restaurant. Food looked and tasted like dishes came straight from the Sysco Foods truck and to the plate, no flavor added.

Notes from Our Meal:
- Sweet & Spicy Shrimp App:
- Good presentation. Fried nicely.
- Not very sweet. Too much Mayo and is bland
- Shrimp was very firm, maybe over cooked, and lacked sweetness. Didn’t taste like local shrimp.

- Lump Crab Cake Sliders:
- Skin-on-fries start out good, but leave a pasty aftertaste.
- Not a lot of binder, but that made it a Very mushy crab cake.
- Lacks flavor.

- Fish -N- Chips:
- Slaw has zero flavor. Tastes like it came straight from the bag.
- Kraft tartar sauce.
- Fish was fried perfectly, flaked nicely, but again, no flavor.

- Waiter was sketchy when asked if their seafood was locally sourced.
- Said fresh catch is, and “yes, all our other seafood comes from the Atlantic region.” That’s NOT local.

- Sweet Thai Chili Sauce is really bad. Tastes like Robitussin Medicine.

Our server Keegan was fantastic. She was understanding and compassionate when my 23 month old was throwing a fit. She kept helping us to calm her down. The food was amazing. Overall we will definitely be going there again!

My wife and mother-in-law went here a week ago, the waiter we had was great and the food was delicious. I typically only eat Salmon when I go out to a restaurant. My wife and I had been there just over a year and a half ago. All three of us thought that the food was excellent again.
Whenever possible, I always get Salmon and have tasted very good salmon throughout North and South Carolina.
However, our return to eat there again, reminded me of just how good their salmon actually is. It was truly outstanding. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and prepared.
Well worth a five star rating from all of us.
My wife and I will be back to see our son as well as visit my Mother in law and I will take her out to dinner again. Cant wait for round 2.

I was looking for a local seafood restaurant and chose this one by the ratings. I was skeptical of the local presentation when I saw the extensive, professionally produced, chain-like menu. However, the food was excellent! We skipped fried and chose shrimp scampi and jambalaya. Both were really good and exceeded our expectations. I hope they can maintain local seafood freshness and quality focus as they continue to expand.
