“My husband and I stopped in on my birthday a few days ago, just before a tour of Tric. I'm a HUGE One Tree Hill fan, so I was hoping they might have a paper cup still lingering around from when they were Karen's Cafe for the reunion two weeks prior. They didn't, but they were so sweet and ended up giving me a mug and stickers for free. They also recommended The Christmas Cookie, and it was AMAZING. I plan to return next time I'm in town. Thank you Maroon Monkey! You guys are truly the best!“

“Stopped there for brunch today. It was incredible! I had the Mediterranean Scramble.“

“Incredible food, very flavorful and perfect. oysters on half shell the best I had ever eaten. 10 out of 10 on service and experience. It was worth it!!!“

“We stopped here twice in one day because it was that good. The banana ball was so good and my daughter LOVED their beignets. Their frappe was the best she has ever had. The dirty hippie was my favorite drink. We had to grab one of their donuts as literally just staring at them is mouth watering. The staff is so friendly and welcoming we love the vibe of the entire place. This place is a must if you are in Wilmington and it's vegan friendly. Hands down best customer service and coffee“

“Love coffee, so Blue Cup Roastery is my place to go when I visit Wilmington. I highly recommend it.“

“We were visiting from Michigan recently. And we were looking for a cool cafe. Down the street from where we were staying was Folks Cafe. We went in. OMG what a cool place. The owner Tammy is so nice and full of energy. We in fact went twice. If ever in the Wilmington area and looking for a cool, great food, great coffee and especially great friendly service FOLKS is the place.“

“Chill atmosphere with a variety of alcohol options. Reasonably priced & the employees are super friendly.“

“One of my favorite places !! The beer is great .. the service is always friendly … these days I only return & spend my money at places w/ good service and Fly Trap is very consistent!!! We were there last night and the bartender came out to light the fire pit for us - I wish I counselor remember her name .. Cheryl ? Maybe … she was very patient and even made sure that everything was OK!!
One of my new favorite places to visit !!
Oh .. Did I mention that they are dog friendly and on Tuesdays all pours are 4. bucks !!“

“Good service and food from JD“

“Wonderful beer, friendly staff and a great location.“

“Was in Wilmington looking for a place to eat this place sounded good. I wasn't disappointed, food was really good and the service was great. Riley did a great job.“

“We had our annual Wandetlust Wilmington 2.0 Super Bowl party at Eagles Dare 2-9-25. Joe Apkarian the owner and his team were beyond superb for us all. We had a catered event there for almost 100 members of the group. The place was ready to rock and roll when we started to arrive. Joe was very accommodating in our set up of the room. The three bartenders Shelby, Gillian, and AJ were spot on with great customer service, attentive, and made wonderful drinks!! (They were so good I gave each one a personal tip and tipped again on my bill) Joe’s selection of the caterer was beyond expectation. Delivery was on time as well as the second refresh. He used Dough House Pizza Company” downtown. All the attendees could not stop praising the food. The place just made 100 new customers. In closing if you have a need for an event Joe and the Eagles Dare team needs to be your first stop. If anyone wants any personal info about the establishment feel free to DM me!!! Thanks again Joe and Team Sam“

“Awesome atmosphere, food, drinks, and staff! Highly recommend 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is the best place to have coffee, work and just take a minute to relax…“

“Duck and Dive Bar is such a gem! The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or just relaxing with a drink. The bartenders are friendly and really know how to mix a great cocktail, and the food hits the spot every time. It’s the kind of place you can easily lose track of time in because the atmosphere is just that good.“

“Great Italian ice location the kids love it and the flavors are awesome.“

“Great place...great atmosphere...love the ping pong.. 🏓🏓🏓“

“Amazing venue. Nice employees. great drinks. they get some good talent in there too. 💙“

“Coffee is delish and the staff is always genuinely friendly! ☕️❤️“

“We loved that this place is so dog friendly! We struggle to find cute places that allow pups inside. It was a great experience. The bagels and coffee were great too!“

“A cute little neighborhood dig. GREAT locally roasted coffee. Their coldbrew is off the charts. A mix of nostalgia and eclectic novelty makes the perfect cozy, spot for your coffee shop adventures. They have catered local food that is good in a hunch (don’t expect a full food menu there is no kitchen). A wide menu and even beer & wine! I love their outdoor bistro tables on a sunny day. Always shaded.“

“Great spot to meet up with friends. Usually have a few good drafts and a ton of cans/bottles to choose from. Cons (in my experience) are that it can take a while to get served at the bar and parking can be tough on the weekend evenings. But, being connected to Block Taco is a major plus. Cool decor and vibe inside, on the front sidewalk area, or in the huge patio area in the back. Live music and movies often here - check their event calendar!“

“Great food and amazing service.“

“Excellent food, burgers made to order and very fresh, crispy tots. The staff were friendly and helpful. I can't believe we've waited so long to try the Mess Hall. We willbe back!“

“I don’t often feel strongly enough to leave reviews but I loved this place and want to recognize our server, Melissa! Me and my boyfriend visited Wilmington on a trip celebrating our anniversary, and we decided to come here because neither of us have ever had fondue. This was a great experience for both us and also a great date night! Our server was Melissa, and she recommended our broth and also my dipping sauces, which were all great. She really knows the menu well and what pairs with what. The choices can be overwhelming, especially for our first time at a fondue restaurant, but she is very patient and helpful. She is a great bartender too, my boyfriend really loved the Manhattan she made him and I also loved the drink she made me, which is saying a lot because I am very sensitive to alcohol. This place is also very fairly priced for the amount of food you receive. Great environment, food, and experience!“

“The waffle bowl is my favorite and their banana pudding is the BEST I've ever had!“

“Never know what you'll see. Amazing is frequently on the list.“

“Very good. Lots of vegetarian and almost vegetarian choices“

“Love it !! And a plus they are child friendly!!!“

“10/10 recommend and affordable! Sampling is an awesome addition, coffee and honey comb flavor were very good! I chose tiramisu and pistachio (definitely my favorite)! Perfect view by the riverwalk, cute environment indoors! Pleasant, considerate staff! Must go!“

“The coffee is delicious. The service is amazing. It’s owned by women. 💕👌🏽“

“First time in Wilmington and was looking for a place with a smart, friendly, diverse crowd among whom to have a drink. Tried several places, but this one is it, hands down. Great jukebox and great people there to make those selections. Even the drink prices are right. If you're in my shoes sometime, save yourself some walking and head straight here.“

“Best family pub by also late night without the kids spot. Great conversation“
