“Fantastic friendly staff and always feel like “one of the bunch !“

“So yummy! I always love getting to eat here when I visit here“

“Went there on a Sunday around 5:00. The chicken was fresh, juicy and delicious. The hushpuppies and fries were very good as well. Definitely got what we paid for, I couldn’t finish all my food. The place was clean. I would come back definitely.“

“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!“

“I saw Crofton’s all over TikTok and wanted to give it a try with the family. We ordered ahead and drove 30 minutes for: Cheese and pepperoni Mac and cheese Chicken bacon ranch Cinnamon Loaded baked potato The order was ready when I got there and smelled AMAZING. The outside of the pretzel looked great and when you broke into it, they loaded each pretzel with what we ordered. The only issue I had, 3/5 pretzels were not cooked thoroughly and were pretty doughy. May have just been an off day, but def worth trying.“

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

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

“Hands down the best bar restaurant in town. Outstanding sandwiches and a glorious beer selection. Local tap beer is keeping the neighborhood vibes. Now let’s talk the delish Hot honey fried chicken sandwich, OMG. Not to be missed ! And don’t forget best onion rings ever created. Service is super friendly and prompt. Shout out to Carragan. Don’t miss this gem.“

“My wife and I recently visited the Cameron Art Museum for the first time for our granddaughter's first ballet recital. After the recital we decided on eating dinner at the Cam Cafe. What a great choice it was.\n\nWe were seated right away and our server was Natalie C. and she was excellent. Very friendly, personable, helpful and just a nice person to have as our waitress. She recommended the Tempura Zuchini as an appetizer and it was excellent. We both enjoyed it. After that we ordered our dinners. My wife ordered the Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and green beans. I ordered the Tortellini Basilico. Both were well prepared, very tasty and nice sized portions.\n\nFor drinks I had a Corona and she had the Borealis White Wine...Both went well with our dinner choices. All in all we both totally enjoyed our dinner at the Cam Cafe and I am sure we will be going back again for another special occasion dinner or their weekend brunch... Well done Cam Cafe...“

“First time here for a celebratory beer and snacks. Absolutely will be back. Great wings, great beer, great chat with the bartender. Oh and love the tots. And the atmosphere was very cool. Just simply a great time. Go there. Now. Why are you still reading this? Go there! 🤣“

“Probably one of the best airport restaurants I patron. I fly regularly and always plan to have my lunch here prior to departure because of its high quality and fair prices. It’s very hard to find enjoyable meals in airports so this is a win“

“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.“

“One of the only restaurants we stopped at on our trip to Wilmington. The food was to die for, the coleslaw hit the spot I had been craving (and will forever crave now), and the atmosphere was so homey and old-timey.

I didn't know it was cash-only until we were at the restaurant reading reviews, and was quick to mention it to the waitress, who kindly pointed me in the direction of an ATM in the same building.

We will be returning on our next trip. :)“

“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“

I will be back!“

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. :)“

“If you're looking for a down home style breakfast or lunch during the week this is the place. Nothing fancy mostly you'll meet up with truckers or service workers its 1 of the closest, quickest place near our office to get a decent meal for the price. Def not a fine dining place but they have daily specials for lunch like fried chicken, spaghetti your wallet won't hurt when you leave here. Also its a gas station on 1 side where you can buy bait, if that tells u anything 🤣 great food, people & prices!“

“Cameron, our waiter was great. The Mac and cheese topped with BBQ sauce was maybe The best I had. The Bloody Mary was fantastic. Prices are reasonable. We will definitely return when we are in 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!“
