Paddy's Hollow Restaurant & Pub in Wilmington, NC offers good food with quick service. The place is a classic spot with delicious ribs, fish and chips, Shepherd's pie, and braised corned beef sandwich. The historical setting in the Cotton Exchange building adds to the overall experience. The menu includes tasty options like cole slaw, steak, French fries, and even fried Okra, which was a delightful surprise. Service is excellent, making it a top choice for a pub experience.
Paddy's Hollow is a must-stop for visitors and a wonderful chill place for locals. The Fish and Chips are big and excellent, with a portion that is second best outside of Philly. The cheesesteak and boneless Buffalo Wings are also highly recommended, offering large, tender, and juicy portions. The menu has something for everyone, and even if someone just wants to enjoy the bar and downtown vibe, it's a great choice. The cozy and pretty interior, friendly bartender, and delicious bloody Marys create a perfect atmosphere, especially on a blustery day. The potato wedges topped with cheeses and bacon, served with sour cream, are a popular appetizer.
The reason for the four-star rating is that not all menu items have been tried yet, but there is confidence that they would be quite satisfying. The bacon cheeseburger with fries and the fish sandwich with fries are served in generous portions, often best enjoyed by cutting in half or quarters. A cranberry and vodka is available upon request to help digest the large meals, adding to the friendly, welcoming environment. Overall, Paddy's Hollow remains a favorite for many, often visited multiple times during a stay, and offers a decent Irish pub experience with a lively, yet relaxed atmosphere.
