Our State Maqgazine - Love Letter NC

A love letter must start over, and I want to start over in line, sipping a very cold honor-system beer, at  Provision Company™ in Southport. I do love nearby Oak Island — love its not-quite-caught-up-to-last-week feel, its piers, its rental keys in paper envelopes, its houses nearly in the breakers, its fishmongers (I’ve found religion more than once over the grouper cheeks at Haag & Sons) — but I love lunch at the Provision Company™ maybe most of all.

The whole thing runs on the honor system, not just the beer. And I love this not for the chance to cheat, but to get up, pull a second icy bottle from the huge standing cooler, and return to my crab cakes without having to bother anyone to do it for me. There’s a dock off the back of the restaurant, sound-side. Open-air. Boats trolling by. Fans on the ceiling, most with all their blades. Tiny paper napkins, nowhere near big enough to do anything. It’s like eating at your house, if your house were much better, and at the beach, and full of fried food and good people. Or good food and fried people. Which I’m not saying it isn’t, but still.

Once you have placed your order, grab your drinks on your own (on the honor system).
