    Double cheese burger
    Scott A.

    Excellent, fresh food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Good burgers aren't too hard to find around here but Dot's will not disappoint. They manage to get a nice char on a juicy burger and top it any way you like. The fries are standard but they're cooked properly so they're great--the onion rings are even better. I'm sure the other food they offer is also very good, but I'm going to have a hard time ordering anything but a burger when I go back.

    It was the servers first day. Honestly I think they should do counter service and then let people go. It was slow and a little chaotic. Two burgers with fries and a hot dog were $38. 1.50 to use a card. You can build your own burger. Meat wasn't seasoned. The hotdog and chili were good. I wouldn't go out of my way to vgo.

    Crinkle fries!

    This is my go-to place for a burger and fries! I prefer them over cook out and fat Andy's! Also a great place to get hotdogs and bbq sandwiches!

    We got there right at lunch time. They were busy but we were seated right away. It isn't a big place and not a ton of tables. I got the cheeseburger all the way(mustard, chili, and onions)and I added white slaw also. Food came out pretty quickly. Burger was great. Seasoned well and wonderful burger. Sometimes hit and miss with a burger all the way, depending where you get it from. All the ingredients really worked well together. I have a best burger list and this is in the top 10. Will definitely be back.

    A pic of my burger with pickles. Delicious!!!

    Took the Fort Fisher ferry over to Southport for the day, and we stopped in for an early lunch…read more They were not busy yet, which was our plan. Eat first, then do all our walking. We were greeted by very friendly staff that seated us in a back corner. No foot traffic over there. Server came by for drink orders and we had some time to look over the large menu. It is your typical diner food. Big portions and all fresh made. We tried the Henny Penny sandwich with side of fries and the Reuben with side of fries. Chicken was cooked perfectly on this wonderful roll. Looked delicious. The Reuben meat was chopped and mixed with the sauce and sauerkraut. Very easy to eat this way. And I love the marble rye bread. Not sure where they get their bread but both sandwiches were amazing. Fries were hot and crispy too. This is a great spot right in the middle of Southport. When we finished and left, almost every table was full, even outside tables. There are only about 8 tables inside, so when they are busy, I'm sure there is a wait. We will definitely return when in Southport. Give this little place a try. Great food and service right in the heart of Southport. 5 stars

    The service was quick and thoughtful...very thorough. I had the burger and it was cooked perfectly…read more Other members in our party had the buffalo chicken tacos and the cheese curds both really good! A definite recommend.

    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.

    Pretty disappointed about our two most recent visits. I feel like their attention to detail and…read morequality is going down hill. Originally reviewed 2 years ago and was so pleased. We have been to the restaurant 6 times over the last several years and our visit in March 2026 and last night, May 15th 2026, has prompted me to lower the rating. First, my wife's shrimp cocktail had not been deveined, for $17 dollars would expect the few shrimp to be pristine and ready to eat. Plus the greens that were under the shrimp were not just wilted but "gooey" like they were past their due date. I had the ribeye and ordered it medium rare. It came out well done without a hint of pink. The chefs potatoes last night were a mashed variety and they were cold and stiff enough to lay brick with. Our server, Richard, was friendly enough but he came to our table a total of 4 times in the 70 minutes we were there. Even if we wanted to communicate about our meals preparation it would require for our service to have been better. The lobster bisque was excellent and my wife had a side of fries that were also good. The ambience is lovely and we like the location, but after two recent visits with really poor food and service, we won't be back. To those about to nosh, you have been warned. Go elsewhere.
