Portcitypop-ups - Wrightsville Beach

Wow! As locals, we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. We didn’t expect such fantastic food and service. We’ll definitely be returning!

The website link on TripAdvisor is incorrect. According to the owner, the restaurant has just been remodeled after a few weeks of closure. The menu is currently limited to about six items, as they are in the process of reopening, but the food was quite good. My husband ordered a meal, while I opted for the fried pickles as an appetizer. One highlight is that parking is free after 5 PM in the lot next door, which is a bonus given that parking can be tricky a block from the beach. We didn’t see the restaurant at its best, so I recommend that someone else write a review in a few weeks. The chef seems competent.

The owner, Jimmy, is fantastic and truly dedicated to ensuring you have the best experience possible. Thanks to him, my wedding was an absolute success. He collaborated with me on everything from the food and drinks to the decorations. At one point, I thought I might have to cancel my wedding, but Jimmy made my dreams come true.

The venue is small but intimate. They do a good job setting the atomosphere with candle light. The calamari appetizer was flavorful, crispy-crunchy goodness and was fabulously paired with an orange marmalade. The mister and I agree that it was the best calamari we have ever eaten! Everything has a farm to table fresh feel. The lobster risoto was perfection. My mister is a big eater and even he was no match for the stone ground country style shrimp and cheesy grits.

Neat little place. Uncrowded, and they have a new chef since we ate there last time. The soup was outstanding, and the Shrimp and Grits was great as well. Always a stop for us whenever we go to Wrightsville.
