''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....''

''I ventured in off the street while in the area briefly looking a real estate and was delighted to have selected this wonderful restaurant. The crab cake fresh spring garden salad was wonderful. The creme brelee served with an exotic orchid was delicious and the tea was freshly brewed....''

''We travel to the area approx. 4 times a year and the past two times have been to this restaurant, by the recommendation of the locals. The lunch special was quite a bargain yet the horrible couonter service left a bad taste in our mouths. We order from outside so to sit in the fresh air, and both visits yielded a very rude attendant, to such an extent, we will not return....''

''I loved the feel of this family owned restaurant! Everyone was very friendly and the service was top notch. The view looks out on a dock with fishing boats, just to add to the wonderful experience. The food was also excellent. There were a variety of options and although lots of the food is fried, you can order it broiled as well at no extra charge. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a laid back and delicious place to eat!...''

''This is the first thing we ordered and they were great. My Ahi Tuna salad was also fresh and tasty. Trish, the waitress was very attentive to our needs. Meet one of the owners, very friendly Can't wait to go back....''

''It is the coziest restaurant in Calabash greatest food friendly atmosphere nice bistro to check out good job Aziza...''

''We go there about once every two weeks when we are snowbirding in Sunset Beach. Not a Seafood Place
but a full menu for all tastes. My wife enjoys the salads and I like the Hurricane Chicken and the prime Rib. Bar section a little noisy during peak hours when you are seated there to eat
but overall a good dining experience....''

''This is the best for high end gourmet and 5 star dining. This is a MUST if you are in Southport!...''

''We took 17 people to eat here after we were married. We didn't reserve the private room, we just made a reservation and ate in the main dinning area on a Monday evening. There is not one thing bad we can say about the service, they even gave us two servers. And everyone enjoyed thier food. I no this because nobody really had room for cake. We'll eat here again....''

''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....''

''Great food and staff. I don't mind the wait because if you have to wait, everyone else knows what you think is a secret!! Half a peck just isn't enough!...''

''My husband and I grew up in SE NC. Last year we were in Myrtle Beach and looked for Beck's where we had eaten more than 15 years before. We were so pleased that it was still there. We looked at each other and grinned when we opened the menu. Time warp. Same great, fresh, crispy seafood, same great prices! I got the lunch special - fish and shrimp, which was about $6.00. It was as much as I could eat and it was the BEST FRIED SEAFOOD I HAD EATEN ANYWHERE SINCE. We ate at Beck's twice that w...''

''This place stays busy, even in the off-season! Sean (bartender) is excellent, and the food (once you get a table) is even moreso! The bar is always busy with lots of locals chatting, and leads itself to mingling between locals and tourists.

The husband/wife team that run this place have certainly taken things ''up a notch''. If you don't see it on the menu, try asking -- I rarely eat anything off the menu, and have never once been dissapointed in the 20+ visits over the years....''
