Restaurants near Silver Lake

“Nice sit down restaurant with your typical American style food. They're a little bit past time on remodeling the inside, it's starting to show the wear. But, still an okay place to.”

“This evening we were excited to bring friends who had never been to Seabird, and it was my wife’s birthday! The food did not disappoint. Our friends loved it. It was good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor when they brought out a “no calorie” birthday cake! (A lit candle stuck to a dessert plate)”

“The Sangria is the best Sangria I have ever had. The food was great! Super cute and our server was nice. I can not wait to go back.”

“I cannot say enough within this review to express how excellent Benny’s is. Firstly, the atmosphere is capturing from the exterior in. A beautiful, classic pizzeria with luxury table tops, stained glass fixtures, rustic wood floors and brick walls that provides an elegant yet warm feel throughout the dining experience. The service and hospitality were superb; every interaction from the host, bartender, server, and manager allowed me to feel welcomed and accommodated. Each member went above and beyond for my friend’s engagement celebration. We were greeted promptly and generously. I met the manager, Drew, and my server, Lauren, who were both fantastic. Lauren made us the best cocktails. She even juiced real apples to make the most phenomenal drink I have ever had. We ordered a pizza and Strombolis, which were all fantastic. They both came with a fresh salad and warm, crispy fries. We ended our experience with gelato, and even though our bellies were so full and happy, I don't think we could ever go back without getting the gelato for dessert. Everything was clean, beautiful, and tasty—just perfection. If you want a fun evening with exquisite food, friendly service, as well as a memorable experience, Benny’s is the place to go. Definitely a 10/10 all the way around and one of the best places in Wilmington to dine. Amazing for a celebration with friends and family or just a date night. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you Origins Food and Drink! Thank you Alicia, and I hope I spelled that right!  Not only did I get to host a fantastic (Oh so tasty) lunch for my visiting cousins, just off the highway, but as we sat in the nice quiet bar area, talking well through your lunch closure, your staff just let us stay. Nobody said a word. Thank you for that. ❤️ One cousin lives in Rwanda and the other in Florida, and I haven't seen them in a year! ❤️ Once again, you are my restaurant of choice for so many reasons! Thanks for the incredible food and professionalism! (Originally posted on my Facebook page on July 1, 2024)”

“Tonight was our first time while visiting family in Wilmington. What an absolutely incredible experience! Everyone was so kind and our server was so friendly and also very knowledgeable about the menu. Our food was absolutely incredible! Can’t wait to go back on our next visit!”

“Top favorite coffee shop I have ever visited (apart from my other favorite North Carolina coffee shops that staff those with special needs and disabilities)!! AMAZING drinks, the most phenomenal backyard space to hang out and bring your kiddos (human or pup), coolest concept and decor, and some really friendly and personable staff. I was so excited to find this awesome new(er) spot and I can’t wait to come back!”

“Circa 1922 is absolutely the best restaurant we have found in the Wilmington area. We have been going there for the past 11 years! You could not ask for better service, better food, or a better atmosphere.”

“We were shopping in Wilmington and we wanted pizza. Best pizza we have ever had!!!!”

“Had a great dinner there. Oysters 🦪 Mussels Fried chicken Crab cakes Cocktails Service All were fantastic!!”

“The food was spectacular last night. The Hoss is one of the best sandwiches I have ever ate.”

“We are on vacation from Kansas City and stopped into Wandering Cone after a hot day of touring the battleship! This place is incredible with all homemade and local ice cream including gluten free options. The waffles bowls, ice cream and milkshakes were all so delicious! This ice cream shop is a gem and we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Wilmington!”

“My family and I have enjoyed visiting the Cardinal for its fine food, libations and especially the personal service we receive from Marco. He is attentive and friendly, adding to the wonderful experience we have whenever we visit.”

“I love WBB! My family and I come every time we visit the area. Kellie is the best 😀”

“This is a coffee shop I would like to visit some day and some time since my other favorite one is to far in my state do recommend it”

“BEST dinner and service we’ve experienced in such a long time. Our server (Frank) was amazing, attentive and taught us how to pour red wine 😂 For appetizers we had fried okra. Clam chowder and crab dip. Dinner was blackened salmon with risotto and green beans, fried haddock fish basket with fries and slaw, broiled seafood platter. Risotto and asparagus. Desserts were crème brûlée and blackberry cobbler with ice cream. We will absolutely be returning!”

“I’ve loved Saltfish on CB for years, but the new owners have really kicked it up to a whole new level. I hate to make it more difficult to get a reservation in this cute little tiki bar, but I gotta sing their praises. The service and food have gone from ‘really good’ to ‘omg I’m gonna dream about this meal forever’. I’m currently obsessed with their scallops- they’re served with a stunning curry sauce, fragrant rice, fresh citrus slaw, and Maduros. It’s a beautiful meal and perfectly executed every time. Last night we got the coconut shrimp app, the scallops and their chicken katsu, and then finished it off with their homemade rum cake with candied pineapple and fresh whipped cream. Everything was just incredible. They’re staffed better than they used to be- service is quick and friendly. Expansive menu of tiki drinks. Definitely recommend reservations even in the off season- it’s a tiny spot with limited seating. 10000/10 definitely recommend this little gem.”

“we had the pleasure of eating at Junction 421 this evening for a pre-Valentines dinner date I had the steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, spears, and crab meat and topped with a delicious Bernese sauce . Michael had shrimp and grits and we had a nice, romantic dinner. Evan was our server and he treated us like we were VIPs. Highly recommend this restaurant is so close to our home.”

“This Crumbl location in Wilmington NC is supreme. I go nearly every week and the cookies always look like the website. The wait is never too long. Sometimes the popular ones sell out some days especially on Saturdays so try to get there earlier.”

“A special place! They have steak and salad but I say try something more interesting. We got many seafood dishes and some Italian fare. Every bite was absolutely excellent. For me, the appetizers were my favorite part. Relaxed atmosphere but still exceptional service you expect with fine dining. When you take a bite of the rigatoni, all your troubles will melt away and you’re a small happy child once more. We celebrated a birthday and the desert was on the house. Classy. Btw no matter how full you are DO NOT pass on the salted caramel panna cotta. Every one needs to taste it. Apparently in the late afternoon reservations can be snagged from parties who canceled. We made a reservation ourselves a month in advance. Worth it.”

“Awesome place with the yummiest flavors! The black raspberry, elephant stomp(chocolate with Reese cups in it), peach and chocolate cherry are the first we’ve tried. But we will definitely return and try more. You gotta try it.”

“I can’t say enough about how amazing On Thyme Restaurant is! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is packed with delicious options that cater to all tastes, but the is an absolute must-try! Have you tried the PHILLY EGG ROLLS?? The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s clear that the team of chefs put their heart and soul into every dish. The staff is attentive, and eager to ensure you have the best dining experience. I selected On Thyme for my work Christmas Party and the staff fell in LOVE with everything. On Thyme delivers every time!! If you haven’t been yet, stop by and check it out—you won’t be disappointed!”

“Great breakfast spot. The biscuits are large, fresh and delicious. The staff was friendly, fast and appear to work well together. They have interesting combinations. U Definitely need to try the fried chicken biscuit with spicy mayo and hot sauce if you love southern food. 🥰”

“A highly recommended place, with excellent customer service and delicious, fresh food. The owner (Tom) and his employees go out of their way to ensure customers leave satisfied. I really like Pho 68 .”

“This place is the best!! Everything is good!! Pizza!! Bagels!! Ice cream!! All of it!! They really care about the food and the customer!! Make sure you follow them on Instagram so you can keep up with the specials they put out!! You don’t wanna miss out on the specials!!”

“Great BBQ! No fat or gristle and great flavor. It’s beachfront and great view from the deck so a little pricey. Mindy was great server with immediate service. I could eat here everyday!”

“Perfect 😍 this is my go to place and the place I bring carnists when I want to share a meal :)”

“Amazing Family business!! Every time I visit I have a great experience! Staff is always friendly and welcoming when you walk through the door. Today I got my breakfast togo. I got to work downtown and my food was still hot & delicious! I highly recommend Our Crepes & More!!!”

“Good pretzel! Neat place! Clean Barhrooms!”

“We have been to Sugo multiple times. Each and every time our visit was fabulous! From the hostess desk, to the servers, to the managers the service has been top notch. They truly make you feel welcome.
We love the bacon appetizer and the carpaccio of beef. Both are delicious.
We have enjoyed the veal and pasta dishes. They are all very good. For us though, the star dishes are the steaks. The skirt steak and the filet mignon with sauces are excellent. The porterhouse for two was better than the last steak we had at Peter Luger. Each time the steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. Every steak we have had here has been outstanding! You can’t go wrong with any of the side dishes as well.
The sides we have tried have been delicious!
We always look forward to our next visit. Even the sunsets have been beautiful. They have a great view!
We highly recommend Sugo!”
