He got 1 canned beer, and I got an unsweet tea. No appetizers or desserts and our bill was over $80 including tip. Ha! You learn quickly how expensive everything is here on BHI I guess because they have to bring everything over on the ferry, which makes sense. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich but I wish it was on a bun instead of Texas Toast. My husband enjoyed his grouper sandwich. I loved that they serve curly fries! Our waiter was awesome and we loved the view of the harbor on a pretty day. I would recommend Jules if you're in the area, just beware about the prices.

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.

I don't remember any food at the venue either...just drinks. I think this was some sort of cannery or small fishing port and the name just stuck throughout the years. They describe themselves as "SOUTHPORT'S BEST WATERFRONT PUB" - https://americanfishco.com/ Cool place to chill, and enjoy the scenery. Not a lot of seats or shade available during the hot summer months. Still, it's a nice place to grab a drink or two and enjoy some live music. The casual ambiance and the waterfront views are very nice as well. The sweltering Southern Summer heat can be a bit of an issue.

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.

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.

The only downside was the wait time. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we waited about 10-15 minutes while the host trained a new staff member before being taken to the outdoor seating area. We were offered the option to sit at the inside bar, but not at an indoor dining table, which was fine since we were waiting for friends and preferred to sit outside anyway. Once we ordered, the food also seemed to take longer than expected to arrive. Overall, though, it was still a nice experience in a great beachfront location.

This entire establishment has changed in every which way for the better. The inside had been renovated with a now view of the ocean, and they had upgraded wall decor and tables. No soggy fries, no dead flies, in fact this restaurant was sooooo much cleaner than I remember it being, even family who have been multiples times in the past agreed. We ordered the Nacho appetizer, and I got the chicken tacos and they exceeded my expectations in all sorts of delicious ways. The staff was so friendly the new owner even came by to chat and gave us chocolates, shout out to Giovanni! I can't wait to come back during the summer to see the beachfront patio in full effect!
