Provision
Provision is a seafood restaurant in Southport, North Carolina, located right on the water with views of the harbor. The space has a simple, welcoming interior decorated with pictures of the sea and boats, and the menu offers fresh dishes such as steamed shrimp, grilled yellowfin tuna, crabcakes, and the catch of the day.
The restaurant has been serving guests for more than 30 years, maintaining a tradition of coastal cooking. It developed in Southport, a town with a long history of fishing and shipping, where this culinary heritage continues to thrive.
The restaurant takes its name from its role: supplying the local community with fresh seafood. You can observe everyday life here, where fishermen and boat captains stop for lunch and families gather to eat while watching the water.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and tends to get busy on weekends, so arriving early or making a reservation is helpful. The location is walkable from other areas of Southport, and visitors can either park by car or arrive by boat and tie up at the dock.
The restaurant is particularly popular with boaters because it sits right on the water with its own dock where boats can tie up. This waterfront location makes it a natural stop for people arriving by water and connects the kitchen directly to the boating culture of the region.
