They're located right there on the main drag as you enter Southport which is great for a pit stop on the way in or on the way out of town. The service is walk up which keeps it super casual and fun. I have been here 3 or 4 times and there has never been a food truck when I've been but they have awesome snacks available behind the bar. For just $1 a cup, you can get goldfish, animal crackers, pretzels, and those delicious little peanut butter filled pretzels. I wish the outdoor area was more interesting but that's my only complaint.

Jailhouse Provisions was a decent stop during our time on Bald Head Island, but it didn't quite…read morestand out enough for me to rate it higher. Our group ordered the fried shrimp, and that was definitely the highlight of the meal. The shrimp were crispy, well-cooked, and flavorful, making for a satisfying coastal lunch. The food overall was solid, with no major issues from a quality standpoint. That said, like many places on the island, the prices felt inflated compared to what you receive (I understand some of that comes with the location). Service was another area that fell a bit short. We were dining with a group of nine, and while managing larger parties can be challenging, attentiveness was lacking throughout the meal. Overall, the food was good enough, especially the fried shrimp, but the combination of higher prices and underwhelming service kept this in three-star territory for me.

Cool spot to listen to some music, play some pool and drink some beers…read more There aren't too many other options in the area for places to hang out, so this one kind of sticks out. I like it, but not a whole lot to say about it. A private club, so you have to give them your personal info. They have a pretty decent selection of beers, full bar and no food. Pool tables are in pretty good shape and the music seems to be at least mediocre except for the karaoke, which was pretty awful the night I went, lol. I'll be back when in the area.

They seem to have quite a bit of turnover when it comes to chefs so you really never know what you're going to get. I have never had a bad meal here but I have brought multiple people who had major complaints about their dishes. The uncertainly is disappointing for the price point but I think it's somewhere everyone should try at least once. If it was consistent I would happily give 5 stars but had to go with 4.

This wine and beer bar and bottle shop is awesome. I can kick myself for waiting so long to check in, but better late than never. Cozy inside atmosphere with a nice selection of beers cans, bottles and on tap to choose. The wine by the glass is trainable with a good sized pour. The wine rack selections in the back is diverse and well priced. Can definitely see buying a bottle(s) to share. The outside space has tons of seating in a relatively small space. A section with a fire pit, beer and wine tasting and music on weekends. The staff are great to talk with and good reference for beer and wine selections. My new OKI hangout.
