We're local but not one who frequents Ports of Call often. We've had a decent dinner prior to this last one but...wowza! The staff were a little extra extra "wired" (with exception of one hostess). Had salad (safe), daughter had the curry dish which she asked "what is this"? Husband similar response to his "fish" dish. Very OLD decor (stop holding on to the movie).... tables felt kinda sticky gross and chairs from the 70's.
Super cute spot! We got in and seated quickly, staff was very nice. Our server Olivia was incredible. Great food (amazing veggie options). We got black bean and corn empanadas plus fried green tomato (and shrimp) as appetizers. They were super accommodating for me being vegetarian and separated everything. I got the vegan masala dish with chickpeas, lots of veggies, and jasmine rice. I was so impressed. Really loved it here! Thank you!
Could be one of the best local cocktail bars around. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew how to make the perfect drink of choice. Food has always been on point. Reservations are highly recommended but first come first serve at the bar
I cannot emphasize enough the fact that our server Brittany was on absolutely point and spectacular. Personable, attentive, and receptive to all of our needs. Additionally, her peers that helped serve our table were equally attentive and kind to our folks. The building was previously a museum so the interior is a lovely, quiet atmosphere with interesting and eyecatching architecture. We ordered the soup of the day (seafood eggdrop soup), as well as the mussels as appetizers. Both were flavorful and great. The entrees were decent, but I have to admit that some of the dishes our table received were on the bland side at the end of the day. Even so, this is a restaurant I would return to so I could give their other dishes a try to see if they could become members of the clean plate club.
This place has really gone down hill. The food used to always be top quality and absolutely delicious. Recently however, the food has been sub-par at best while the prices have remained high. At first it was the portion sizes being smaller, now the actual quality of the food has suffered. The crab cakes are usually delicious but this last time I had to question if there was actually any crab or just filler. The cream sauce on the grits had split and you could clearly see the orange hue of fat floating atop. The croissant sandwich rolls tasted like McDonalds hamburger buns. I honestly would’ve rather have went to McDonalds for the price. Such a shame as I used to consider this my favorite restaurant 🤦♂️
Absolutely amazing food all homemade and fresh caught. Unfortunately they were out of oysters and cod when we were there, but they still had cod fritters. Lunch menu was extensive and delicious and food came out quickly.
Everything was amazing and we had such great service from our server, Olivia! We will definitely be returning.
I really love this place! Always a blessing to go there! We come every year from Canada! The food is Always Amazing!! & the service is great! Friendly staff! Thank u!!
Loved everything about this spot. I grabbed some baked goods to go after my wonderful lunch⦠soooo good. I enjoyed a slice of orange cranberry loaf in bed this morning, what a treat!
Our server Holly was fantastic. Told us the specials, filled our coffee without fail, and took away the dirty plates so we weren't crammed at a small table with a bunch of dirty plates. Groovy atmosphere very artistic, and very friendly people workin
This peaceful little town of Southport not only provides this quaint little sitting park on the waterfront, but also less than 10 minutes awaits the beach. The best of both worlds! Come and relax on the beautiful swings to watch the ferry and cargo s
Wonderful bakery in Southport, NC. The donuts are amazing, but the Glazed croissants will knock your socks off! Highly recommended. They are closed on Sundays.
The reviews don't lie, this place is fantastic and the service is fast and friendly. This has been on my list for a while and I will be back sooner than later. We had "The Works" burger and this in a 7 napkin burger! Excellent. French Fries and H
I almost didn't rate this hotel because it's the best kept secret of Southport. Such a cute getaway for me and my husband. The private swings have the best view.
Walked in, and I was immediately greeted by the sweetest attendant! Had breakfast, and everything was cooked perfectly and delicious! Cook, who I think was the owner, was extremely nice and attentive!! Love the collectibles everywhere!!!

This is an excellent little spot to grab some delicious food and a drink. Itâs kind of a locals type spot and everyone is welcome. I had their famous cheeseburger and it is awesome. My wife loved the fish tacos. Great service.
