Loco Jo's Bar & Grill

"Feels like a local place. Great food with fast friendly service. Tried the special, catch of the day over lemongrass curry. Fish was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The curry had a little bit of spice to it but not uncomfortable, a cup of rice on the side. The Fish and Chips order was a very generous portion, with a side of homemade chips."

"This is an excellent little spot to grab some delicious food and a drink. It’s kind of a locals type spot and everyone is welcome. I had their famous cheeseburger and it is awesome. My wife loved the fish tacos. Great service."

"I might sound a bit like Guy Fieri on this one because this is just the kind of place Diners,Drive Ins & Dives, and I love to find and talk about. Loco jo's is one of those discreet very small hidden in the corner of a small business complex that you may just walk right past because it looks like it could be just another normal local pub with the same old boaring pub food, but NO, it is anything but that. The menu here may be a bit small to some standards but the elevated and creatively Asian inspired dishes along with some normal pub favorites that are created In the kitchen rivaled many Asian and american restaurants I've had in the past. Every dish that came to our table far exceeded what any of us expected. From the crispy fried ribs to the lemon grass curry with seared tuna and the banh mi sandwich, every dish made to order with the freshest ingredients as possible. I would have loved to be in that kitchen watching the chef and crew working up these meals that were coming out in record time. Along with a great local vibe and an excellent wait staff that is very attentive I'll guarantee you'll fall in love with this place as much as we did, so you ever find yourself in Southport NC or any where remotely close you gotta go give this place a try, #ncfoodie #ncfoodblogger #supportlocal #southportnc"

"WOW!!! Talk about being pleasantly surprised. What a gem. I've had Bahn Mi in Hanoi, and this was pretty dang close! The boom boom cauliflower... Dangggg... Today's special was a fried chicken bao bun... Daggum... I hope it's on the menu when you get there... Moral of the story is... Get there!!!"

"Super friendly staff. GREAT drinks. Their food is always good. There aren't many tables on the inside...a little small. They do have a good many bar seats. Overall, I really like this place. Definitely recommend stopping in for some food and drinks.... Definitely drinks."
