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 🤢🤮🤬😡
Charcoal Pit has never disappointed and today was no exception, in fact it was superb!!!! Hadn’t been thru Wilmington in about 3 years and today was my best visit ever 👍🏻👍🏻 amazing Black and Blue burger, much bigger than expected, fries were done perfectly and the malted chocolate shake was to die for 😋 Kudos to the entire staff for fast friendly and delicious food!! The current 2.7/5 rating is a crying shame, this place is 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 easily!!!
Solid diner with throwback charm and good food and great shakes. We'll be back to try more. Reasonably priced too.

The Charcoal Pit has been a popular dining destination for about 50 years. After a remodel, the restaurant now has a more welcoming atmosphere, with improved food quality and quantity. The burger, in particular, stands out for its unique charcoal taste and generous portion. Customers have expressed mixed feelings about some menu items, with some disappointed with the new French fries but others praising the ribs. Service has been noted as quick and friendly, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The classic diner atmosphere and reasonable prices remain enjoyable aspects of the restaurant, though some diners wish for larger portions of certain sides. The restaurant is praised for its retro yet well-kept appearance, kind staff, and excellent food, particularly the burgers, jerk chicken wings, and chocolate milkshake.
