    Saigon bowl, pork, salad, cucumbers, carrots Asian noodles and a wonderful sauce.
    Terri H.

    The best Thit Nuong and special of the grilled shrimp salad with peanut dressing. Fresh and so very tasty. Love the ambience and the best service in town. You want be disappointed.

    Lemongrass Curry

    Great food & great service! Highly recommend Lemongrass Curry...so flavorful (and spicy)! Anytime you can get unicorn fish, definitely get it. Their specials are always very good. Loco Jo's has been added as a must when in Southport!

    Baja shrimp taco

    I ate here with the family while in Southport. The seafood served here was very fresh. The shrimp tacos were delicious with absolutely no fishy taste. I was hoping for corn tortillas and the flour did not disappoint. Accommodations and services were fine on a Saturday, the crew did a good job.

    Love going to Loco Jo's Grill when we're in town. Food is fresh. Drinks are tasty. Only drawback is the seating is EXTREMELY limited!! If you have a large party I would suggest doing a takeout order because you just won't fit. We have done both. Ate at the bar and also gotten food to go and sat on a swing watching the ocean! So I guess what I'm saying is don't let the tiny space keep you for going here. Be inventive and get it to go.

    Blackened Red drum tacos (tonight's special)
    Esther G.

    So DELICIOUS!! The food menu is small but surprisingly eclectic, well thought out and plated. Tonight I shared with my son the fried haddock with macaroni salad and a side salad and a basket of curly fries (which were a special premium side today) my husband had the special catch, blackened red drum tacos with shrimp guacamole. The food did not disappoint, the haddock was massive, super fresh and crispy the sides were fresh and portions were quite big. My husbands tacos were super fresh, the shrimp guacamole was amazing! If you've never had red drum, try it! This place has a large selection of interesting cocktails and beers that I would've loved to try had I not had to drive. This is a small place but a great place, the food is delicious and the staff is warm and inviting. If you're looking for fine dining, or more of a run of the mill place this isn't for you. If you're looking for delicious food and drinks in a bar setting that isn't sleazy give this restaurant a try. You won't regret it!!

    Dumplings
    Tina H.

    So excited to find them not too busy at lunch so we were able to get a table. They have a varied menu and more specials on the board. I had a drink off the board. It was ok - nothing special. We started with the dumplings. Honestly better than any Chinese restaurant. Great filling to wrap ratio. The wrap was delicious. The chicken was moist the wrap didn't fall apart. The wrap held up to the ingredients. Our server was friendly, helpful and efficient.

    Great stickers and magnets to read while we waited for our food.
    Tania M.

    Awesome find! My friend and I wanted to try something new and were thrilled when we found Loco Jo's. All the tables were taken when we arrived so we had to sit at the bar. We ordered the Gouda Mac n cheese bites to start. Wow!! Melt in your mouth deliciousness. Then we both ordered the catch of the day- blackened mahi tacos. They were heavenly! We were a little bummed that we only got two tacos per order and barely a handful of tortilla chips to accompany them. The first server that sat us, was not very welcoming and told us where we needed to sit at the bar - even though she didn't do that for others. She warmed up to us in the end though. We definitely loved the food and the vibe of the place and will be back!

    Do they have any outdoor seating? Are dogs allowed? Is that little park near the water open if not? Thanks!

    Yes they have outdoor seating but they may only be doing carry out. You can walk dogs on leashes pretty much everywhere including beach.

    I stopped by pho 68 before my trip home for some take out. My first impressions on the restaurant…read moreis that it is very clean, well decorated, and the staff was super friendly. I was given a cup of iced water while waiting for take out which was appreciated. I was shown the newest menu they have which I've attached photos of; I purchased the bone marrow pho, a beef banh mi, a pork banh mi, and 2 vietnamese iced coffees. I'm not the biggest fan of pho, but I had to for this bone marrow dish! This is so hard to find I knew I couldn't pass it up. It was absolutely delicious and they had a great variety of meat that was all tender. I love the soft tendon it's my personal favorite! The banh mis are just as good and are THE perfect baguette texture, not too crispy and not too fluffy. Now with their coffee, I personally prefer an authentic phin drip cà phê sữa đá for the rich flavoring, as I believe this is just bottled lees coffee. It's still good, but could be better. It's amazing how much variety they have that can be difficult to find, like BÒ NÉ, as it reminds me of home in Vietnam. Overall, a great experience and I am 100% coming back to try more!

    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.

    The absolute ONLY reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the cleanliness of the restaurant and the…read morefriendliness of the staff. The food was a major disappointment. Crab cake was more like a flattened hush puppies with a few bits of crab in it. Ahi tuna was cooked to the point that it was grey, dry and flavorless. Potato salad was screaming for some seasoning. The cucumber salad was the best part of our meal. You place your order at the counter and then grab your drink of choice from the cooler. (I will say that they offered a decent selection of beer and wine). When you find a place to sit down they call your name and then bring your food. When you finish, you have to go back into the small and crowded ordering area and tell them your name and what you had to drink and then pay SO, needless to say, it took another 10 minutes to pay. It was a lot of work for a very disappointing experience.
