Stopped in just to see what they had, left with a beautiful side of flounder and some p&d shrimp!…read moreDinner that night was delicious! The flounder tasted super fresh and you really can't get better than fresh N.C. shrimp. Great quality raw product. I wish that they would let you pick your weight you'd like to purchase. There was a little push back when we asked for 8pc of shrimp, we are cooking for 2 and didn't need a half pound or pound. And I was really hoping to buy just a couple scallops to go with dinner but they were pretty firm on selling a minimum of a half pound. Good to know for next time.. we will be back!

They have a bunch of different designs that are sure to be eye catching to your friends and family. Plus, who has a unique hat from a cool local fish place?! A best practice tip would be to let any apparel you buy from the store air out on your deck for a couple days, they tend to smell a bit like fish and minnows.

We hired Cape Fear Boil Co to do a shrimp boil for us and they killed it. The guys were…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable and so personable. You can tell they love doing what they do.

Shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage and the seasoning. You also get butter and the cocktail sauce. Take it home, put the pots on the stove, add your beer or water (we did a shandy), steam that stuff up for about 15ish minutes and then add the shrimp. We added the dry seasoning on top of the shrimp and steamed the pots some more until the shrimp was pink. Boom! It was done. We even had leftovers. The staff is very helpful if you have any questions. Also, for anyone with peanut allergies, this is safe.

First, I'd like to give a special shoutout to our waitress. She truly made the dining experience…read morememorable. She was funny, a little sassy, and had a great personality that made us feel right at home. Be prepared for a crowd! We visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We had about a 20-minute wait at 5:00 PM, so I can only imagine how packed it gets around 6:00 or 7:00 PM. For dinner, I ordered the flounder platter with Gouda potatoes and sweet plantains. Everything was excellent--5/5. The Gouda potatoes were especially delicious, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without being greasy. My son ordered the crab boil special and cleaned his plate, which says it all. My boyfriend had the fried oyster po' boy, and it was very good as well. Even my little guy ordered the adult portion of fried shrimp and finished every last shrimp and fry. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely come back again!

We have been visiting Southport for a few years now and for one reason or another never made it out…read moreto The Provision Company. We can say we have one and done it now. They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.
