''We ate here I think our third night in town. My husband had the most delious mackerel with a yummy sauce on it. I had the steamed seadfood platter which was the special. My daughter had crablegs and son had kids' shrimp. We can't wait to come back next year ! A place you definitely want to go on the beach!...''

''Too pricey for the quality--not as service/customer oriented as they claim. Ocean view was nice, but you need reservations for that....''

''Provisions is a must for any visit to Holden Beach! The food & service is outstanding. We were lucky enough to get a window table right on the intercoastal waterway. What a view! Our friend was disappointed when they ran out of clams but was happy with his alternate order. What a surprise when the clams were delivered during dinner and he was treated to free clams. One of the employees remembered and brought them to him....''

''The atmosphere was okay and the one (and only) waitress did her best to provide reasonably good service, but regrettably these were the high points of the meal. My wife ordered the 5 oz. filet mignon, which is expected to be tender and one of the better cuts of beef. It was dry and very tough. The side dish, spaghetti, at a place that calls itself an Italian restaurant, was unfortunately nothing more than noodles covered with a very bland (probably canned) tomato sauce. The common pasta dish...''

''If your intrested in finding a nice small resturant in Calabash this is definately the place to go. Essie and Linda are great people and the food is excellant!!! We have eaten there twice and plan on eating there meny more times when we move to that area. The food and Service were consistenaly good.You get plenty of food for a good price. And we were not able to finish all of it.When you are in Calabash defintly check out this resturant. You will not be sorry....''

''This food is excellent. No matter how big or small you are, youre garaunteed to be satisfied and maintain youre shape or not. BUFFET IS THE BEST!!!!...''

''This place has a horrible manager. He was really rude. The food was Horrible. There were good waitresses but they were wearing skimpy outfits that shouldn't be acceptable. I will never eat there again....''

''I love Chili's food. I have always gone in there and hate to wait about 45 min. for my meal...but when I get it I do enjoy it. If they could get down good service...this place would be rocking!...''

''Nothing fancy, just great fresh seafood. Generous portions at affordable prices. Will definitely visit again....''

''Have been eating at this establishment any time I make a trip to the area. The view is excellent food is great and reasonably priced and the service is fast and friendly. You won''t be disappointed....''

''I found the handwritten menu to be the real star of this restaurant. It features fresh seafood, prepared in a variety of ''uptown'' ways. I had a wonderful fresh piece of Tuna, seared with fresh cracked peppercorns and skillfully dressed with a red wine reduction sauce. Superlative. My husband had the Jumbo Shrimp with Spinach Pasta, tossed in a freshly made Pesto sauce. The flavor was simply amazing. We got the ''smaller'' portions, offered at $14.95, but the portions were still plentiful...''

''We went her last year on our family vacation and loved it!!! We have three small children and the gobbled up the hushpuppies and loved the gameroom. Service was great and food even better. Portions are great. My oldest son(5 at the time) had a huge chicken sandwich which he got to enjoy agian the nest day for a quick and easy lunch! The views of the intercoastal waterwy are beautiful and the kids like watching the boats pull right up and see the people come in to eat. We will ALWAYS visit h...''

''I don't know why we even tried it again. The last two times we've vacationed in Holden Beach, we've eaten at the Seafood Peddler and it was horrible. But...we decided to give it another shot this week and it was even worse than we remembered. The prices are extremely high, even for a buffet. The food is just not good. There is never a crowd there, so that should be a real clue to everyone. We've given this place three chances, but never a fourth....''

''We have been to Holden Beach three times and have always eaten a couple meals at the Seafood Barn. It's great! Last night, my wife and I had the Coconut Shrimp and both kids had the fish. The portions are always large and the food is delicious. The hushpuppies are brought to your table before you order and they are wonderful. We will definitely eat at the Seafood Barn a few more times this week....''

''Since the new ownership change, everything has gone down hill...they've taken out the saltwater fish tank, and sealed shut the windows at the bar! The ambience is gone. Sadly, cheers to what was one of the best local hang outs....''

''Jones' has been on Oak Island for as long as I can remember. They have very good seafood (loved the hush puppies with cinnamon butter when I was there in 2004, btw) and the service is friendly....''

''Food was very good staff was top notch,we went in late and they had no problem serving us dinner.I would highly recomend...''
