Famous Toastery of Wilmington

The Famous Toastery has been our favorite place for breakfast. We have had breakfast here many times and it has always been very good. Unfortunately today I cannot say that. I had classic eggs Benedict with potatoes. The potatoes came out barely warm and were dried out the hollandaise sauce was very bland. Normally there is a nice lemon flavor in hollandaise but not today

Faith restored!!! After swearing never to return I thought I would give it another try and very happy I did. I ordered the Eggs Benedict again and our Waitress, Trish remembered me and said, "you like your Muffins well done right?" I must confess being remembered after so long was a tad uncomfortable and I thought "oops maybe I was a little too vocal and critical last time I was here! But Trish was charming and allayed any concerns in that area. She was very attentive made sure my meal came out exactly as we had requested, Muffins well toasted!. I have been back twice since and hoped that I would again be served by Trish, sadly not but received great service from my servers and the food was perfect. This restaurant has an holistic approach to serving insofar that your main server may not be the one that brings your food or ensures you are well served with Water, coffee or whatever. I believe tips are shared but regardless this results in a high level of attention to the customer. Though not our prime server today I was happy that Trish was on hand to keep my coffee cup full. Shame on me but I did not get my prime servers name today but I would be remiss in not also giving kudos to her for great service. Thank you for restoring my faith. Oh, I forgot to mention the Breakfast potatoes are to die for!

Original posting:
The good, excellent friendly and attentive waitstaff. The bad: the kitchen does not respond to customer requests/desires. I love Eggs Benedict and this is what I typically order and they do a good job getting the eggs right. However, I hate soggy muffins and specifically ask that my English muffins be well toasted (just about black) and on only one occasion out of many they actually got it right! I have had to return many due to the underdone muffins and even after returning them they still seem reluctant to toast them as requested. Today I made the same order
plus a side order of Hollandaise sauce. Specifically mentioned I want the Muffins very well toasted, they arrived almost pure white! I returned them and then at best got medium toasted and the side order of sauce was stone cold and the potatoes barely warm. When I informed the waiter that the sauce was cold I got the most ridiculous response that they could warm it up but that could cause the eggs to cook up. When the English Muffins are well toasted and crispy the Eggs Benedict are excellent but I have had enough of not being given what has been requested and ending up frustrated and disappointed. Sorry to say this will be the last time I eat here.

The Famous Toastery is my all time favorite breakfast destination. Wide variety to choose from, excellent service every time, and awesome atmosphere. If you are in Wilmington there quite simply is no other place to eat and you owe it to yourself to swing in. You WILL NOT regret it!!!!

This was my first time eating here and man was it good. The French toast was stuffed with heaven and the burrito was on point. The nutter butter toast was ok. Not great was a bit of a let down after eating the other dishes. Definitely will be back

My best advice is to get here as early as possible! A line form quickly, but for good reason. The food here is amazing!! I’ve tried everything from the stuffed french toast to the Famous Hash. Everything is simply delicious. The service is always fantastic. And I just love when they decorate for the holidays!
