“Applebee's used to be a favorite for us in the 80s and 90s when we lived up north. It was predictable and we always left satisfied. After a horrible experience in Conway, SC last month, we decided never to patronize Applebee's again. Then we saw a TV advertisement for the current Two for $25 promotion. Friends in Stafford VA enjoyed the meal at their local Applebee's and shared their decent chain restaurant experience. We were convinced to give Applebee's another chance. We now live in Georgetown County SC, and we were definitely not going to Conway. We Googled and found Leland to be our next closest location. We had the afternoon totally free, so we ventured north on 31 and 17 to Leland, and we were so pleasantly surprised. We were greeted and seated by a smiling hostess. Our amazing waitress, Beth, came over to introduce herself and take our drink order; unsweetened ice tea and water with lime and lemon slices. She returned with drinks and answered all of our questions on the special and offered garlic green beans as a substitute for broccoli. We both ordered the special skillet 6 oz steak over garlic mashed potatoes with green beans. Our appetizer was our first try on boneless wings. Beth brought the wings quickly and we are them with a knife and fork. They were essentially just decent quality chicken nuggets with garlic and shaved Parmesan, yet filling and delicious. Beth brought our main course and refilled our drinks. She came back to check if all was prepared well. Both of us were full halfway through our meals, and Beth cheerfully brought us take out containers, and to-go cups for new drinks. That will be a good Saturday breakfast! Beth, and the Leland Applebee's has renewed our faith in corporate chain eateries. We usually patronize local places at the beach, and love a high end experience often as well. Beth's expertise may lead her into a more sophisticated setting. I can see her doing well at a Morton's or a Ruth's Chris, or any of the finer restaurants along the Atlantic coast. Thank you for an all around fine experience!“

“Good pretzel! Neat place! Clean Barhrooms!“

“i cant wait until I go here. sounds so good!“

“Good food, great service, good prices!“

“If I am having a bad day I immediately go to the Copper Penny and get the 109 Chestnut chicken sandwich. Greatest sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are amazing. in my opinion, if the staff is good, you know the food’s going to be good!!!! The wait can be long, but wait in that line!!! I cannot stress that enough.You will NOT be disappointed. The only time I’ve ever been disappointed by this place is when they discontinued, the sweet potato fries. But overall, it’s worth the wait and it’s worth the stop 12/10 recommend.“

“Great cocktails, a varied wine list, outstanding food, fun music and relaxed atmosphere. So glad we had dinner here!“

“Great breakfast. Omelet, grits and biscuit,, very good. Server Melissa's smile and great service was an added bonus.“

“Wow“

“The cafe is part of the art museum and what a treat it was for our visit. There was a large party of lovely ladies speaking French, a smattering of children visiting with their mothers, and a few other visitors such as ourselves enjoying the lovely fall Wilmington weather and the lunch fare available. You really must go if you are in the Wilmington area. It is a wonderful experience for young and old alike.“

“The Bavarian pretzel was huge and absolutely delicious. all portions were very generous and the service staff was great!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“The food was amazing! We loved getting to enjoy the view as well. Highly recommend.“

“Took one of my old bosses there Today. Today was German Cuisine day. We started with soup, I had trout and then Apple Strudel. The student wait staff was very attentive and kept a close eye on my iced tea. With my strudel, I had some coffee. This is by far one of the Best Hidden secrets of Wilmington. Only thing is not everyone can get in. So if you can get in to have one of their Wednesday lunches, I would say jump on it. Staff, food and ambiance is outstanding.“

“Frontier has the BEST hot dogs and burgers! The chili burger is to die for. It’s a humble restaurant, with a lot of heart. I highly recommend“

“We had a great time at the Grill and our waitress Zena was fantastic. The food was excellent and the staff was professional and very courteous.“

“What a little gem! I was pleasantly surprised when I was in the area today and looking for breakfast. Prices are good, Bloody Mary with bacon and omelet were both delicious but the best part was probably Debbie our server. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you stop in and give them a try. I will be back!“

“great food and service will return“

“I am a new resident to town and have been making my way around to the locally owned spots. I popped in for lunch and had the most delicious cheeseburger! I ended up adding on hushpuppies, which were also delicious. The diner is a step back in time and absolutely adorable with counter and booth seating. My burger came with fries and homemade sweet tea, which was very refreshing.The owner was kind and invited me back. I told her the next time I am in, I am getting the fried apple pie and ice cream!“

“Best hanger steak and bloody Mary’s!!“

“I got the spicy chicken salad wrap. Trying to eat a little lighter these days. Most of the time a chicken wrap at a restaurant is a mediocre afterthought, but not here. It was delicious and actually decently spicy with Sriracha mayo and fresh jalapenos inside. The cheesesteak is great here but it's nice that the quality extends to the rest of the menu as well!“

“I would like to thank the staff at the City Club for making my stay here a wonderful experience! They were very helpful and hospitable. My experience here definitely made my wedding weekend a wonderful one. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about joining the club or staying at the inn to do so. :)“

“My Homeboy Rich and I picked up cheeseburgers, fries and onion rings; we smashed them because they were so good. Plenty of food for the money. I usually get the full pounder burger all the way with chilli and slaw added, but I ordered the half pounder; was still huge. I believe they forgot the chilli, but was still off the chain good. Thanks and big shout out to Faye and her staff! 😁😘😋“

“Good food fun for adults not so much for kiddos“

“Favorite place in Wilmington. Best Burger, fabulous club sandwich and awesome drink prices. The vibe is awesome here. People are great, bartenders are even better. The outdoor area is seriously better than any other place in Wilmington. The dogs are a plus. Going somewhere alone is always intimidating but don’t be scared of it here. You’ll meet the coolest folks. Bring your dogs for extra fun :)“

“My husband and I went for $5- burger night. The place was clean friendly staff Delicious 😋 best burger I've had in awhile recommend pairing with truffle fries. I will definitely go back also worth mentioning ample parking.“

“Great food especially vegetarian food“

“We loved our expirence here. We came during lunch rush and wanted seats outside. We were seated by the service door outside (very busy) and wanted to be moved away from the traffic. They were very understanding and accommodated us. Not only that but the food 🤌 wonderful. The shrimp and grits was nicely balanced and the oysters were amazing! Shout out to Vinnie for taking care of us and taking time to talk about the history of the area.“

“Had a burger last night and I would have to say it was probably the BEST BURGER I've ever had. Their service and atmosphere are amazing. I didn't personally have a cocktail, but watching them (working in the bar/restaurant and spirits industry for 21 years) I'd have to say they looked crafty and well balanced. I would highly recommend this place. I know I'll be back!“
