Been on our list for a while. Finally went. Great spot for kids to move around. Food was delicious and the portions very generous. Had the pulled pork nachos, Belgium fries, cheese flat bread, and lettuce wraps. All delicious. Left with leftovers in boxes. Attached to Lynnwood Brewing Co do even better.

February 21, 2025 - Great Combo at Dock 1053 . . . Amazing fresh lunch at Wilsonโ€™s Eatery & Lynnwood Brewing Concern ( LBC) with award winning BEERS ๐Ÿบ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

While in Raleigh for my daughterโ€™s wedding, we love to explore the area for good food & adventures! Dock 1053 is a renovated warehouse & train stop from 1955. . . built by the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.

Now this facility holds 8 new businesses! Owner Ted Dwyer started Lynnwood Brewing Concern in 2013, this 2nd location at Dock 1053 opened in 2015. Dwyer then established Wilsonโ€™s Eatery in 2018, which shares a beer garden between the symbiotic businesses! Great idea! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

My wife, her sister, and I stopped in for lunch ! As we approached the front counter to order food. . . I asked why the name Wilsonโ€™s? The gentleman pointed to the dog in the photo on the wall, a beautiful white Lab named Wilson ! Told Wilson is/was the familyโ€™s loving and kind pet! โค๏ธ Works for me.

My wife ordered the Italian sandwich . . . Ham, pepperoni, salami, mozzarella cheese, tomato, lettuce, pesto aioli, on sour dough bread. Her sister ordered the Frickles . . . Fried pickles, guacamole, on tortilla chips. I ordered their famous BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich . . . Braised pulled pork, w/ Dock slaw, pickled onions, Eastern NC BBQ sauce, on a brioche bun ! We shared a bite of each together, wonderfully zesty , great flavor combinations , especially my pulled pork sandwich with the splash of vinegar bbq sauce and pickled onions! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Oh, I also ordered their LBC flight of 4 beers ! ๐Ÿบ (Big selection of beers)

*Oatmeal Stout - 5.5% dark chocolate & caramel . . . robust & rich ! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

*Tangerine Mimosa Sour - 5.5% light ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

*Bad Leroy Bro - 5% Caramel & toffee ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

*Back That Razz Up - 5% wheat raspberry ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I enjoyed each of those LBC beers, very different styles of beer. . . Must return for another flight sampling , work thru the list!

Great lunch stop, as spring approaches. I bet in the warmer weather their Beer garden is packed with beer enthusiasts! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Note: The whole parking lot at Dock 1053 is privately owned, a parking fee is charged!

Hey good news. . . Take your parking ticket into the business you frequent, your ticket will be โ€œ validatedโ€ ! ( no charge) ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

One of the best burgers in the triangle! Pretzel bites were okay, but the cheese they come with was the real star of the appetizer.

Everything came together for an outstanding lunch. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and excellent beer from the brewery next door. Warning....parking is tight, but complimentary when you eat there.

Canโ€™t speak for the food because I didnโ€™t bother staying. So nothing against the food or service or even this specific restaurant, but the complex and/or whoever runs its has some audacity for charging for parking. Places can validate but you have to download some app and go through a whole process. Greedy.

Our favorite go to spot for casual dining with kids. They have health options for adults, OR non-healthy... but a variety of affordable kids options.
