26 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.“

“This was our second visit to Snuff Mill and the food and service is consistently top notch. Shannon provided excellent attentive service and the burrata, Nashville chicken sandwich and Mill salad were delicious and well plated. The manager Kaylee stopped by and we spoke with her for about 10 minutes. She shared upcoming events like the wine pairing dinner and opera dinner. We loved that she was an “active” manager who engages with the patrons and talks with pride about the staff and how they strive for an exceptional experience. Keep up the good work Snuff Mill!!“

“On June 1, 2024, I threw an incredible”all white” catered event to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, and it was an epic party! Even with the prior catering manager leaving a few weeks prior to my event, the amazing Patty Brainard stepped in to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Docklands’s live music, delicious food, and the scenic outdoor river view created a cool vibe that my guest are still talking about! Can't wait to host another event like that in the future.

Vegetarian options: my daughter is vegetarian. She really enjoyed the penne, pasta, nachos, Cauliflower, appetizer, pizza and pretzel bites.

Parking: parking available in front of the restaurant and also right behind it. There is a full parking lot that is available to customers“

“The service was good. Everyone is very kind and welcoming!“

“Fantastic place. The food was delicious w/ every bite. Staff were so friendly and caring. Everything I ate/enjoyed I savored and it left me wanting another plate, but I left so filled and pleased with the whole experience. Can't wait to return!“

“My friend and I LOVE this place!! We have been twice and the service is consistently great! The drinks and the food are to die for! We love the cheesesteak egg rolls and the watermelon martini!? the staff is so nice and accommodating and the manager is so friendly and introduces himself to everyone. A nice low key place to get some food and have a drink! 10/10 would recommend“

“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.“

“Great service and good food“

“1st time visitor and Samantha was exceptional with ensuring my taste buds were happy and even created a simple syrup peach ice tea for me :-). Also, bring back the grilled cheese and tomato soup back as it was a hidden craving that Sam help bring to fruition! Great way to kick off my afternoon and many thanks ??“

“The food was excellent although the selection was limited. The service good. What I didn't like was that when we got the bill, we were charged for 2 iced teas and 2 coffees. I've never been to a full-service restaurant that charged for refills on coffee and tea. The prices were high enough without the extra charge.“

“Metro never disappoints! I’ve never not had a good meal, the service is always excellent, and the environment is clean. They also have the best ranch in town! Haha. Great place, great staff, I love it! Sarah provides excellent service, be sure to ask for her!“

“The food and service was great.“

“The food was OK, until I got to the cold homefries. To top it off, "I'm sorry?" Sorry does not warm my food and sorry definitely does me no good when I preferred to have eaten them with my meal and not bag them to eat later! "Sorry"“

“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 ☺️“

“We were SO hungry after a ballgame and ended up at The Charcoal Pit for a great meal! The burger was excellent! Tasty and perfectly done - right out of the charcoal fire. With a while jalapeño and a mound of bacon on top. I’m wanting another one just thinking about it. We also had 1/2 rack ribs, very tender, falling off the bone.
Our waitress was great, friendly and attentive. Excellent prices. The restaurant is accessible♿️. Large parking lot.
You can also order any pick up at the pick up window.“

“Excellent food and great service, very clean and great prices. Quality of food is excellent.“

“Nice place! Felt very homely and welcoming. It's a bit out of the way but a friend took me there to try after he was impressed by it. I had the chipped beef on toast and it hit the spot. I also had a side of scrapple. Most places don't cook scrapple correctly but Libby's did a fine job with it, and that's coming from a guy that lives in scrapple territory! I will say that the potatoes needed salt, but I'd rather have to add salt than deal with having too much salt. The coffee was decent as well.

Oh yeah, talk about affordable! This is how breakfast should be priced!

Kid-friendliness: While I was walking out, two little kids in strollers were smiling and waving bye to us. The staff were having fun with them too. It was adorable so I'd say they're pretty kid friendly.“

“It was very cozy and relaxing“

“not only do they have good food everyone from Tim to Amy are awesome very welcoming.“

“A friend invited my husband and I to dine at Capers and Lemons last night. The friend had been there many times. It was our first time. My husband had the Bolanaise and our friend and I had the Summer Corn Agnolotti. Our meals were scrumptious. Our server, Aspen, was fantastic. It was a great dining experience.“

“The Pub at the Delcastle Inn at the Delcastle Golf Course is a favorite late evening spot to enjoy the sunset and nibble on some tasty food al fresco. They are open until 8 pm so it's just late enough to catch the beautiful views. The food is consistent and although it's a limited menu, everything we have tried has been really good. Sometimes they are out of things like celery or carrot sticks for the wings, or a menu item that sold out during the day. Their fries are fantastic! I would love to see more salads on the menu like a Waldorf Salad, Chicken Caesar salad, or even offer balsamic vinaigrette for some healthier options. Crudites with hummus and pita would be welcome too. Julinna has always given us the most friendly and helpful customer service with a smile. We'll definitely be back time and again.“

“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.“

“best grill
Choose your own ingredients and seasonings
I had the barbecue flavor with chicken, broccoli, onions, and corn.
All the store staff are kind
The problem is that the entrance is difficult to find.“

“It was good for the most part. Unfortunately, I dont know if it was the server or the kitchen but we asked for water with no lemon and still got the lemon. We asked for a sandwich with no pickles and the pickles were still on the sandwich. Luckily these were little things but it still took away from the experience.“

“We have a short list of "go to" spots when we take a day off. Eclipse is at the top of that list.The spirits are exceptional and the food is consistently good and well presented. I've never had a bad meal at Eclipse. We really like the bartender with the cool rings. He is usually there on Mondays when we go. He is always pleasant, funny and he makes a damn good Manhattan(sorry I am terrible with names)“
