Over the past summer, I went to the beach with my family, and we went to a seafood restaurant called Lou Lou’s Waterfront Restaurant in Supply, North Carolina. The building was on the sound, and it had the most gorgeous view of the sunset over the water. They had plenty of seating inside and outside so plenty of people could eat there. Also, the decor on the inside really brought it all together. They had fake fish hanging from the ceiling, fake nets, and some really pretty artwork of Holden Beach all around the restaurant. Outside of the restaurant, they had hanging lights, painted patio tables, and plenty of bench seating so you could look at the water while you waited for a table. One of my favorite things they had were these blue turtles on the outside of the building underneath their sign. For me, it really pulled it all together. 

Now, let’s discuss the service. It was a pleasant experience, and the service was amazing considering how busy they were. They were always on top of things, and we never had to wait for anything for more than two minutes. The waitress we had was super nice, she was quick with our orders and was also engaging in conversations with us throughout the night. Even though she had a bunch of other tables to take care of, I could tell that she was putting in effort to make conversation with every table she had. My dad even asked the manager to come out so we could tell them how impressed we were with her service, and the manager was extremely pleased. With the service alone, I would definitely go back to this restaurant. 

Next, I want to talk about the food itself. I can’t say enough about the food we got. For the appetizer, we got hush puppies and some steamed shrimp to share with the table. I have never had such crunchy, buttery hushpuppies. They were absolutely incredible. I am a shrimp lover, so I was excited when my dad ordered the steamed shrimp. They were spicy and juicy, and we were all fighting over who was going to get the last one. For my entree, I ordered crab legs with corn, coleslaw, and french fries. The french fries were good, but there wasn’t anything special about them. I didn’t try the coleslaw, but my dad said it was pretty good, but a little too peppery for him. The corn was so buttery and crunchy, and I even asked my mom if I could have hers because she didn’t want it. It was too good to let it be thrown away. Lastly were the crab legs. These were so, so good. The shell was so easy to break apart, and the crab meat was so tender. That was definitely my favorite item from the night. 

Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 10/10. Everything about it was incredible, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We have gone back a couple more times since that night, and I can say the experience is just as good every time. This restaurant is the definition of what a good restaurant should be.
