I'm staying in a local hotel in Wilmington, and got done with a really long day of work, for the Visit NC conference in town. Ordered Door Dash from this restaurant, and spent a significant amount of money might I add. I came back to the computer after 30 minutes after I had ordered the food, only to find out that the restaurant had cancelled my order. I have no idea why, but being that I'm hungry, and I had waited some time for the order before realizing this, I'm super irritated with the service, and I would go ahead an say skip ordering Door dash from this establishment. Thanks for making me scramble to find something to eat late at night now. I'll probably end up getting something lousy because of this.

Close to our hotel and rated high. Originally planned on corned beef sandwiches until we saw their pizza. Ordered the crab cake pizza because it sounded so unique~ it was excellent! Flat bread crust - sun dried tomatoes- mozzarella cheese and the did not skimp on the crabcakes! Every table get a small jar of pickles along with their drinks. Food came out quickly and it was hot and fresh. Wait staff was very friendly! We will go back.

Best burgers in Wilmington
Reviewed By 438vanessas
It's off the beaten path for sure. Smaller place and limited seating. My husband had the burger with slaw and chilli and sweet potatoe fries. I had the burger with mushrooms and onions with cajun fries. Little too much cajun seasoning for my personal taste and all the burger meat comes at the same temp. (Like rare, medium rare, etc) the burgers where juicy and flavorful. Very good, but I think I've had better "craft burgers" at other places in Wilmington. Friendly staff and they do have some alcohol to choose from.

Stopped in for pizza based on recent reviews and was disappointed. Pizza was just average.The pizza menu was quite large but we ordered a large plain cheese pizza, our favorite. The crust was thin, but brushed with a garlic oil and not tasty. The sauce was not fresh at all, tasted like a can sauce and was way too thick. Cheese was fine.We tasted other local pizza in Wilmington and know that this style is not the norm. The location is more of a pub gathering spot then restaurant.

Wasn't sure about this place looking from the outside, but my advice is open the door! Very comfortable and welcoming inside. Waitress was attentive, and efficient. We visited for lunch, and had a combination of sandwiches and ribs. Everything was very good. the restaurant also validates parking at the cotton exchange car park which is an added bonus. Very good

Took the family (3 and 6 year old) here based on ratings online and proximity to our hotel- not disappointed! The food was delicious! We had the stuffed flounder and the chicken pot pie! The kids enjoyed the Mac n cheese and chicken tenders! Our server Nate was on top of our every need and concern! We are on the deck outside and it was clean, not buggy and very peaceful with the kids! We donât get to Wilmington very much, but weâll be sure to visit next time weâre in town.

Casual environment serving high end bar/pub fare
Reviewed By BestBillsfan
We stopped in before a visit to the theater. Wait was 30 min, but had 2 seats open up at the bar in 20. The staff was running hard but were always friendly and attentive. Then came the food! Everything was delicious and came out timely, but not too fast as to be on top of the course before it! It was a noisy, busy, fun place with great food and a casual atmosphere! Weâll definitely go back!!
