“I tried the mozzarella as an appetizer and the Tenderloin for the meal. The mozzarella was very good. Between the peppers and topping that was a great was to start out. The Tenderloin was ok. The Gravy had a very good flavor but the meat itself i didn't think was that good. The mashed potatoes were nicely prepared and the asparagus was hot but still had a snap to them, which is just the way I like it. Add a nice bourbon to it all and it makes for a good meal. Cozy atmosphere to the place. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.

What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.

I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.

If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.“

“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 ☺️“

“Picked up ox tail and jerk chicken today. It was ready within a few minutes of me calling it in. Staff were super friendly, food was fantastic and price was very reasonable! I ordered larges and felt that the serving was very generous. Dropped off jerk chicken at my husband's job as a surprise treat for him, he loved it as well. Ox tail was so good I ate the entire large container in one sitting! Highly recommended this place and will most certainly be back!“

“Great place to watch March Madness. Had Phillies on, then switched to basketball, then Sixers, Flyers, then basketball. Great job managing multiple games. John Daily 6/10- would have preferred real ice tea vs what appears to be iced tea mix. Bartender/waitress offered to switch out for free. Wings- sweet chili 10:10 On Point. Maybe a few wet naps Draft beer selection- great. Hammerhead 10/10 Nachos- 7/10 wish more pico but overall great with chicken and guacamole Ham/Cheese with cranberry- 4/10 too much ham, too little cheese.. no cranberry. Told out after the fact. Staff needed roller blades- Waitress was bartender… she did a great job! 8/10. We’ll be back“

“I work closeby to this restaurant and had been wanting to give them a try. I never had African food before and I was curious so after work was over on Thursday I stopped in to try a lamb shank with yellow rice. It was so good! The lamb fell off the bone smoothly and the yellow rice was flavorful. I was afraid the dish was going to be spicy but they put the spice in a small container on the side. Service was friendly and fast. The price came out $20, which was not bad at all. Next time I will try either the dibi or the peanut sauce dish. 10 out of 10 Kenedougou Grill, thank you for introducing me to African food. I recommended this restaurant to my family and anyone who is curious about African food. Give it a try, you won't regret it.“

“On 12/20/25 I spontaneously stopped in with a friend to have dinner, it was a busy time, 6:30ish I have to say it seem to be only 2 servers but they were managing seating their own tables smiling and seem to enjoy what they do, my server happily introduced herself “hi I’m Jazz, I will be your server tonight” I asked for her favorites and she gave plenty of options, I love that cause it’s so hard for me to decide! I choose the fish tacos & to share we choose crab tots, pretzel bites, & fried pickles, my friend went with the sausage pizza. Creme brûlée cheesecake & chocolate lava cake were a perfect end to the evening!!! Our drinks were perfect, as well loved the Christmas names! All were great choices!
Biggest reason for my review is because in the service world people are fast to complain but not make the effort to praise!

A big thank you to Jazz & Docklands… Happy holidays & blessings to you all, you are appreciated!“

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸“
