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

They offer outdoor seating, bar seats, and the standard small tables or booths inside. We decided to sit at the bar. The bartender asked what our beverage of choice is. Just water. After a quick look at the menu, we chose the Hey Jude and Hungry Like A Wolf breakfast bowls. The restaurant is very quirky and eclectic inside with paintings everywhere. They do have a full bar. A variety of non alcoholic beverages to include coffee. The menu has a lot to offer for all palettes. Our food arrived after a little wait. Looked, smelled, and tasted amazing. We both enjoyed our meal and agreed we liked each others after sharing. As far as bowls go, we do recommend dining here. Next time we'll try other menu items. The service was great. The bartender was really nice and friendly. She engaged with us a little bit with small conversation. Overall good experience.

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.

I have never had a bad meal here but I have brought multiple people who had major complaints about their dishes.

It was a $17 plate of bagged lettuce sprinkled with dried cranberries, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese and a sweet bottled dressing on the side. Maybe some kind of nuts too- but nothing special. Certainly not a $17 salad. My husband got the seafood "platter". It was okay... again, nothing special. It had oysters, flounder and shrimp. All of it was heavily breaded and all tasted the same. My son's chicken tenders were dry and overcooked. They do give you bread while you are waiting for your food. The bread and butter/garlic spread was wonderful. Our server was prompt and attentive. He did seem like he was "in the weeds" and very busy. We sat at the bar while waiting on our table.
