Great Food & Drink in Southport/Oak Island!
Since we’ve been focusing so much on the Oak Island/Southport area, we thought we’d pass along our choice for one of the best places in the area for food, drink, relaxation and spectacular views. More importantly….it won’t set you back an arm and a leg! It’s a little difficult to find the Dean End Saloon & Fish Factory, but it’s well worth the effort. The restaurant sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway in the long shadow of the Oak Island bridge. It’s just a beautiful setting with a marina, condos and a handful of small shops just at the end of Fish Factory Rd.
They are open 7 days a week for food and drink and they also have some of the best in local musicians performing out on the deck. They have quite an extensive menu sure to please almost every palate with:
- Appetizers like Cajun Crab Lumps-broiled jumbo crab lumps in a spicy Cajun imperial sauce, served w/ french bread and veggie stix.
- Chili Taco Salad-fresh greens, tomatoes, onions, olives, jalapenos, in a fried tortilla shell topped w/ our home-made chili and finished w/ shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa
- Jerked Chicken-two breasts marinated and grilled in our own house-made sauce, serve over fries with a side of honey mustard
- “Dean End Cheese Steak-thin sliced beef, fried onions, jalapenos, choice of cheese, lettuce tomato & mayo on a fresh baked roll
….and not to be forgotten…an assortment of burgers, breasts, and quesadillas!
The icing on the cake is…..EVERY day is Specials Day!..with prices that can’t be beat!![]()
