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

Another day trip to Southport and we chose to dine here. Located on the main road with plenty of…read morestreet parking to include disabled parking. 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.

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.

(All four of us ordered martinis...3 dirty and my husband's was not). Calamari appetizer...very limited calamari tentacles and a few small rings Wouldn't order again Maybe this is a southern thing...we've had calamari at other places and it is definitely lacking. I ordered beef stroganoff with mushrooms Let me say it was only mushroom stroganoff and SALT stroganoff. If you like mushrooms and salt go for it Portions were large and food came out hot (positives). Husband ordered seafood paella His too was very salty He wanted more seafood of course. The couple we went with didn't complain but the special seafood and pasta plate appeared to be very lacking in seafood The pork chop looked plentiful and good but not sure about salt content Nice addition...a gentleman (not a cook) came asked politely asked how everything was I let him know very kindly that my dish of mushrooms was highly salted He said he'd pass it into the kitchen Nice of him to ask. I'm going to be very selective going forward on where I spend my hard earned money This was a one and done for us sorry to say. Three stars for the company and good conversation!

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.
