25 Best American Restaurants in Wilmington

“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.“

“Excellent selections and fantastic service!“

“We were a group of 54 for the Brunch Buffet- the coffee was hot, the food was delicious, service was wonderful- we had a great experience! Thank you to Glen and his team.“

“I love the atmosphere at this quaint spot in North Wilmington. The service and food are the best! I highly recommend.“

“The food , staff and atmosphere at Mary's are wonderful. It's like eating in a friend's kitchen, where the food is homemade, and the staff treats you like friends. Highly recommend. They treated my 92 year old father like he was their own.“

“Great food, great beer. Enjoy the changing, weekly variety of chefs specials.

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

“Great service and good food“

“Wonderful food, highly recommend the grilled shrimp and the jerk egg rolls. Enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese too! Old fashion drink was really good!“

“I’ve always loved Columbus Inn throughout the years and highly recommend it for quality fine dining and a quaint enjoyable atmosphere. And the front deck is an amazing spot all year round.“

“Had a wonderful Dunch at Snuff Mill today. Fabulous food, ambiance, and service! Shout out to Dorrie. I was able to get in at 3:30 but starting to fill up as I was leaving around 5pm on a Tuesday!... Definitely make a reservation for dinner! Some outdoor seating with heaters but also saw lap blankets.“

“We love this place and everything about it, the food, the service, the atmosphere is laid back, no rush, no hard sell on the crème brûlée.“

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!“

“Jason was nothing short of a professional in the service of waiting tables. He made small talk with my table for 2, kept us informed of our drinks that took a tad of extra time due to the bar being busy. Recommended food which was phenomal and was honest when it came to the description of the food and what we would be reciving, Not just your typical “it's good” he was funny and made both members of the table laugh as well. Food was quick to come out and even recommended diffrent dipping sauces for whatever we were feeling our next time coming in. Both the short rib and burger were excellent. Would 100% recommend this place for a casual dinner.“

“I absolutely love the charcoal pit. Been a customer since I was a kid. But what is up with the new French fries?? The fries that you always had before were way better and perfect rather than these new godaweful things. Please change back to the original ones. These SUCK 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“good food and good service“

“This is by far the BEST cafe I’ve been to so far. Everything is a 10 for me especially their bagels, I haven’t been able to find a better one since I’ve tried their asiago bagel 😌 keep up the great work guys!!!“

“The food never disappoints. We always stop on our way to Longwood Gardens. I would give them a 10. If you like a fun and great wait person, ask for Serene, wonderful service.“

“Clean restaurant with fast service and delicious food! I have a severe food allergy which makes it hard to eat at most restaurants. However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️“

“Truly a wonderful little diner. All the menu items you can expect from a typical diner. There are plenty of vegetarian options but would not recommend for vegan or gluten free customers.
The staff was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere was very welcoming. They have a lot of regulars and it is very cool to see all the interactions between the staff and the customers. Such a great atmosphere.
Food was good. The scrapple was really tasty! Eggs were cooked well and loaded with cheese. Grits were delicious. All of the serving are of heaping size. Coffee is fresh and tasty and unlimited refills.
Prices are unbeatable.
Really enjoyed eating here and would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot!“

“Very nice and friendly owner and staff. Food always delicious 😋 Very clean cozy environment 👌“

“Used uber eats. Food arrived quick. Portions are huge!“

“The food is great and for party planning there is wonderful“

“Great food! Great local pub. Very welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and likeable. Buffalo chicken tenders and burgers were amazing. Salad was generous and fresh. We picked this pub randomly because of the name (!) And good reviews. Small parking lot on-site designated for patrons, which is very convenient on this busy street. I would highly recommend stopping in for good food and drinks.“
