Native Prime Provisions

Michelin-star (but better) in the mountains!!! As semi-locals we've known about this spot buried in a dated retail strip next to Ingles and Dollar General for a few years. As the owners say, they are inclusively exclusive. IYKYK. Up until a few weeks ago you had to time it perfectly to beat the line for the intimate 10 seat counter lunch or dinner service. We'd stop in to buy their incredible fish or meats and look longingly at all the fun that was being had just a few feet away. One day we'd say to ourselves. Well the day came this past Saturday and OMG was it ever worth the wait. We lucked out with an Omakase that rivaled ANY top restaurant. You think I'm exaggerating but look at the pics. It tasted better than it looked. Ambiance: don't let the exterior fool you. It is BEAUTIFUL inside. Quiet, but lively, with chefs choice of music (chill reggae for us), soft lighting, thoughtful place setting and oh so friendly chefs and servers. Everyone was easy going, funny and knowledgeable. I wanted to hang out longer. Food: anything I say is going to seem exaggerated. I mean really, how could it be that good? Ummm. It is. It wasn't just the freshness of the ingredients, or the creativity, or the beautiful plates. It was the feeling that every single bite showed the passion, maybe obsession, to share something incredible and special with those that have joined you at your table. Several courses, dashi broth over crab, the single bite of buttery, sweet black throat, the final bite that was Autumn on a ginger crisp will linger with me for a long time. I want them every day. I want them as my last meal. Shouts to everyone we met-Tania, Tyler, Scott and George. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent, inviting us to your table and making us feel welcomed and exceptionally lucky.

Hands down the highest quality of meat and seafood on the Plateau. I was lucky enough to get a seat for the Happy Hour menu. I ordered the tuna nigiri and was blown away. This was some of the best I’ve eaten, and I’ve lived and traveled the world. Scott, the owner and Chef, takes pride in the quality of food and was welcoming and hospitable. I ordered a glass of Sancerre and it was so fantastic I bought a bottle to take home. Scott and his crew were smoking chickens so I grabbed one to go. I devoured it once home and it was juicy and delicious, obviously sourced from a local farm. Scott is the highest quality Chef you will find anywhere and Cashiers is lucky to have him in town. In my experience, usually the best food and Chefs operate in small intimate neighborhood spots, where the focus is on the food quality, unique preparation, outstanding ingredient sourcing. During my visit, this little spot attracted friendly locals and the entire experience was warm and fun. Native Prime Provisions is in a class by itself in Cashiers. Looking forward to many great meals here!

If I could give a 10 star rating we would!! The oasis Native Prime and Provisions is our home away from home!! We are SO blessed to be able to have experiences with the food and the incredible people here - memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The people here have become family and the food is in another world if it’s own entirely. The pure, warm and welcoming energy paired with great wines and the freshest fare will have the most eloquently trained palette wishing that these dishes will never end! And you always leave feeling amazing. We absolutely adore this place and love the people who truly make up the heart and soul. Scott and Queen T - you guys are the greatest. Can’t wait to visit again!

This should not be an open kitchen concept. The owner and staff talked LOUDLY and OPENLY about how much our party had inconvenienced them — to be clear: we had a reservation, we did not modify a single menu item, and we ordered over $1000 of food and wine. Food is good, but not nearly worth the shame of eating there. Especially for the price. The woman working there (starts with a T, but I forget her name!) is truly warm, kind and helpful, but the remainder of staff was a combination of cold and overtly unpleasant. Side note: I’ve had better steak frites at Denny’s. And this was $115 😂 joke’s on me.

This is a fantastic market! Husband and wife owners on site stock only the highest quality, fresh seafood and prime meats you can find. The owner is also a chef and happy to share recipe tips on preparing what you purchase. So far we have loved the mountain trout, trout fish dip, oysters and scallops. Update one year later; ate at the counter…wonderful experience. Chef Scott, William & Brooke were insightful, welcoming and fun. Oysters, tuna crudo, poke with tuna, wahoo, sheep head and crab slider. We watched the seafood arriving fresh from Hawaii and all over the continental US. Prosecco was delicious as well.

A fabulous place for top of the line prime meats and fresh seafood, as well as serving gourmet lunches five days a week to a limited dining audience (9 seats). Arrive before noon if you want to get right in! Scott and Tania do a fabulous job and really make you feel at home. Two of us split 3 dishes including the delicious Chowder that was packed with clams, fish, and pork belly, the light and crunchy Fish and Rings that were tempura battered, and the Crudo was to die for! Also bought a couple of prime steaks and andouille to cook later! A great experience all around!

Scott & his team are LEGITTTTT. It is so nice to know someone who loves and appreciates seafood from my hometown & from other places all over the WORLD. They do not cut corners and you can tell in every bite. The team at Native Prime are so well rounded, amazing, and damn good cooks. I am astounded by everything they do and sell. Such great friends of mine and I love them dearly!! BOOYAH

Amazing little gem of a place we stumbled on today! We’ve been all around the world, and I must say this place stands up to even the fish markets in Korea! The vibe, food, wines, we’re all top-notch!!! The owners are so hospitable and really took the time to talk to us and tell us about their food creations. I have to say this is definitely my new favorite place in the mountains! Thank you Tonia and Scott, we will definitely be back!

Two words: trout dip. If you leave with nothing else, let it be this. But you also have to get the candied jalapeños and snag your favorite type of cracker to put it all on. We've also purchased many steaks and seafood from them and every time it's amazing. Can't go wrong, and we'd die to have something like this in Charlotte!

A must for all your meats and fishes. With such a variety of top cut meats and high-quality fishes, you will notice the outstanding quality immediately. Filet and wagu, peel & eat shrimp to their yummy lasagna.... there is something for every night of the week!! Native Prime Provisions is a great addition to Cashiers!!

I don't usually write bad reviews but am making an exception. I was in the store awhile ago with my daughter. A woman who I assumed to be the owner was there and was quite rude to me. In her defense, the store wasn't due to open for another hour but there were already other customers inside. I offered twice to go do my other grocery shopping first and come back later but she said that she might as well wait on me since I was already in the store; she said this in a very snarky tone. I bought some salmon which was very good although overpriced in my opinion. the quality of the fish is the only reason I'm giving this review 3 stars instead of 1. I however will not be going back. Customer service matters.

This place is excellent. It's a small counter for service so they cannot accommodate many diners at once. Go in the off hours and have an amazing lunch. Highest quality ingredients expertly prepared. The tartare is best ever had. Ceviche was wonderful. Can't wait to go back to try more menu items.

We just had their crab cakes for the first time and we all loved them and proclaimed they're the best we've ever had! Can't wait to return to Cashiers next year and shop there again!!!!

Tania and Scott are great. We been going since they opened and have never been disappointed. Great steaks, pork chops. Try their smoke salmon homemade and soups. Jumbo stone crabs are a must.
