“I MISS SOOOO MUCH!!! I'M FROM WILMINGTON & live in Texas now I wanna move back 😩 MISS this place“

“We got Chicken noodle soup on 1-2-25 about 8:00 pm from your restaurant. We’ve been eating it for years. But tonight it was so much better. It was thicker, tastes so much better and we actually got some chunks of chicken. Don’t know what changed but keep it up.“

“Holy Cow I absolutely love this shop. The subs are amazing. The staff are as friendly as it gets. Shout out to Henry for always making my dining experience great. If you have not tried this place then you are missing out. Give it a try. Ask for Henry. He will take care of you. Just sayin!“

“One of the best burgers and fries in Wilmington reminds me of my favorite place in Vermont“

“Great customer service and no long wait even with a line. I came to the beach from Goldsboro NC we don’t have a Church’s Chicken wish we did they just keep giving us a bunch of Bojangles 🙄. My food was fresh and tasted so good one of the best Church’s I have been too and get this the crew was small and still got the job done! Great job crew keep up the good work!“

“Best Burger in Wrightsville Beach“

“Phil working at your window today delivers excellent customer service! Very kind young man!“

“This is Hardee's. To say the food, service, or immediate environment was anything less than what is to be expected from such a prolific fast-food establishment would be a failure. The food is good, the service is good, and the good ol's were present and accounted for. If fast food is your mood, this location will likely meet and exceed your expectations in the best ways possible. Thanks, Hardee's.“

“Love this place!! Their barbecue sandwiches are the BOMB . . . my only recommendation is please make sure the bread doesn’t fall apart!! Maybe drain the barbecue and the coleslaw a little more before putting it on. Today’s sandwich was good . . . but they have been a bit soggy in the past. Keep up the good work!!“

“Went here over the weekend for a late-night bite. This was the first time my boyfriend or I had eaten at the restaurant in person (rather than the freezer bags from the grocery store). I ordered a single-patty bacon cheeseburger, and he ordered the Baconzilla.

For me, I was a little disappointed in my burger. I asked for a single-patty because I saw how large the double-patty burgers looked on the menu and knew I wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing. When I opened my burger I knew I made a mistake (but still, my boyfriends burger was HUGE comparatively). Although it truly just tasted like a bacon and cheese sandwich, it was still good for what it was. Just please, learn from my mistakes and don't do that LOL.

Otherwise, everything else was delicious and came out just how we/he liked (the fries and his burger). I definitely wish I would've just gone ahead and ordered the double-patty burger, so I could have at least had a better experience for myself. Lesson learned :')

Thanks for serving us!“

“Absolutely wonderful staff, Walker was a blast to talk to while he made my sub in a tub. Something I especially like is the manager isn’t afraid to step in and work the line slicing meat for orders. My only complaint is this isn’t the one near my house!“

“They keep forgetting to give me a straw at the drive thru but they are always nice when I ask for one.

Vegetarian options: No vegetarian meals. Coffee and fries and drinks though.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Happy meals, I've cream (when the machine is working?) and high chairs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking, ordering, seating and restrooms.“

“Huge fan of jerseys mikes! My mini #13 was wonderful! Perfect bite to eat before some beach time!“

“Just picked up a few sandwiches. Yummy“

“Love Jersey Mike's Subs. Chicken Philly add on Hot Honey and yes make it a giant.

That being said, what is a sandwich? Defined, it is something put in between two other similar or same something's that is different than the something in the middle. While that vague definition seems to leave a lot of options open, what you'll find when it comes to the sandwich world is there are staple offerings available at any respectable sandwich eatery. And then there is the way Jersey Mike's does it. While other places sandwiches are good, Jersey Mike's are great. Placing their take on the field in a world of its own. They are innovative enough to make your mouth water at the mention of their name, while true to the classics as to remain recognizable for what they are- a great place to get a delicious sandwich the way you like it. It just so happens more often than not Mike's way is the way you want it. The smell of oil and vinegar mixed with the fresh cut onions is divine in the strangest way possible. I have yet to be disappointed after receiving a sandwich from Jersey Mike's, but I am sure it is possible that they are not perfect all the time. Jersey Mike's just gets sandwiches right, and they keep it simple by focusing on getting simple really right. Side note, their cookies are better than bad, their good. Eat Jersey Mike's- I do.“

“Absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices. Don't miss it!“

“They're usually on it, the guy that was in the window tonight was someone I wouldn't want to encounter again. How you are in the south but don't have manners is beyond me. I was respectful and he lacks customer service for sure. The others might be speedy but they don't lack decorum (spell check).“

“very good sandwich 🥪. great people . very clean.“

“The staff was way nicer compared to other taco bells Ive had in Wilmington, and even offered an extra taco and refill when my grandma went back thru the drive thru cause she forgot sauce for her crunchwrap supreme, the shady spot in the parking lot was very nice too“

“I come here many days during the week for my lunch break. They always have it ready within a few minutes, and there are great about paying attention to preferences and allergies I have. Staff is very kind, even when they’re busy there are great!“

“Great food, very clean and friendly, fast service! We love Firehouse Subs- especially at Monkey Junction! ❤️“

“great food fast service friendly workers“

“Always enjoy seeing My Oliver Boykin!“

“Even the manager of This Crew went out of their way to make me hot fresh apple pies they are always Beyond nice and caring I recommend this place to anyone

Parking: They had a huge parking lot and plenty of space

Kid-friendliness: I have a 5-year-old and they have always been extra sweet to her from what I've seen they are very good with kids not just mine not sure what the little girl's name is that runs to drive through after 3:00 p.m. but she is an absolute darling“

“I just wanna say that I’ve never seen a Burger King run so well there are no women working on the crew right now! All men! The food was impeccable. The service was quick. I was very impressed. It’s proof Men are up to the job and do it well. The only person’s name I got was Isaac and Brandon, but everybody on this crew should be applauded. There was no inappropriate conversations. The restaurant was clean. They got my order, right! Fantastic job guys Way to go. I’m working out here and I will be back. The icing on the cake With Isaac, he was able to guess my coworkers needs and wants! ?Everyone on this crew should be given a raise way to go guys!“

“I’m a huge customer of The COOK OUT RESTAURANTS, especially the Carolina Beach Rd store. Most of the time the food is delicious and convenient. I’m particularly fond of the BBQ sandwich with Cole slaw and hot sauce . Their Huge sweet tea is a favorite as well as the Double Chocolate milkshake. The food is fresh and prepared per order. The line of cars can be overwhelming at times , but always seems to move quickly and efficiently. You never know who you will find in the drive thru line… I recently saw a HUGE MOTOR HOME squeezing through the drive thru line with a Big Banner saying WOMEN FOR TRUMP . See photos“

“This Taco Bell is incredible. The first question they have asked me time to time in the drive thru is "How are you?" No other drive thru has done this. This shows an immense amount of empathy in their establishment. They supply absolute fantastic work but also 100% consideration for their public needs. I recommend them. Their managers are top tier and they treat their staff with respect and flourish in this locations business. There is a great energy going here.“

“I live pretty close to this Taco Bell and I go pretty often most of the time I order online. I’ve never had a bad experience here they always Are pretty quick and they put the right amount of ingredients in there I never get skimped on like meat or anything like that. This last time I went I sat in the drive-through a little longer than normal and they threw in an extra Seasoned potatoes with cheese and apologized for the wait Which really wasn’t that long. Not gonna get anything like that at any other fast food restaurant. The workers are always friendly to me as well.“

“Arby’s is the bomb!! THEY HAVE THE MESTS!!! And I want my meat sweats!! Ha!“

“Always great! Been coming here (Porters Neck) since you guys opened and have never had a bad experience! Thanks! 😋“
