Loco Jo's Bar & Grill

Stopped for a bite. It’s a very small place but everything was absolutely delicious. We wanted grilled instead of fried seafood and we got the tacos and they were amazing. The pretzel was absolutely enormous. Would definitely come by again. The owner was working and was very nice. The margarita prickly pear was delicious and they even had fresh squeeze blood orange juice to add to the top of the beers.

Loco Joe’s in Southport is an absolute gem. The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we ordered was cooked perfectly and packed with bold taste. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it a great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal. What really sets Loco Joe’s apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about their customers. You never feel rushed, and they’re happy to make recommendations or accommodate requests. If you’re in Southport and looking for a place with great food, great service, and a local feel, Loco Joe’s is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back.

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.

Loco Joe's is a local gem. For my husband and I, it's like walking into "Cheers" where everybody knows your name and Nikki (the co owner) greets you with a smile and (my) favorite Chardonnay! It's always a challenge to pick an entree because everything is so darn delicious. From the fish tacos (with fresh cilantro), to the Buddha Bowl (can't get anywhere else), cheeseburgers, Korean chicken sandwich, asian cucumber salad, duck wings, curry, and more, there is something for everyone. To Southport visitors who have posted negative comments, you don't get it. Here, we sit at the bar next to one another rather than putting a chair between ourselves and another diner. It's called Southern Hospitality and allows the restaurant to serve more patrons. There's plenty of room. And, like all restau

The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The food was great! We started with the jumbo pretzel, then got the blackened tuna tacos and Bahn Mi. Everything was excellent, and there were many more tempting items on the menu I look forward to trying in the future. I'd definitely recommend this little place!
