“What is there not to love about this place?! We are in town from NY. We stopped to grab lunch I got the sweet n savory with the house made chips. My daughter got the Mac n cheese and fries. Huge portions of fries were are mouthwatering. My sandwich has so much flavor and blended well together. The Lavender Lemonade is a must and refreshing. We ended up coming back my daughter got the same thing again but with the parm fries. I got the Goat which is AMAZING it was so yummy. The soup was really good too. We plan to visit again before we head home. This is our go to spot the next time we visit Wilmington. This place is a gem. The staff is so friendly. We felt so relaxed and at home here“

“My husband and I stopped in on my birthday a few days ago, just before a tour of Tric. I'm a HUGE One Tree Hill fan, so I was hoping they might have a paper cup still lingering around from when they were Karen's Cafe for the reunion two weeks prior. They didn't, but they were so sweet and ended up giving me a mug and stickers for free. They also recommended The Christmas Cookie, and it was AMAZING. I plan to return next time I'm in town. Thank you Maroon Monkey! You guys are truly the best!“

This is the first time I’ve been to the east coast and the first stop I made after flying in from Cali and this was the perfect first experience! The whole place is super cute and so cozy and comfy!! If I ever fly out to Wilmington again, I’ll definitely visit again!“

“One of my favorite places !! The beer is great .. the service is always friendly … these days I only return & spend my money at places w/ good service and Fly Trap is very consistent!!! We were there last night and the bartender came out to light the fire pit for us - I wish I counselor remember her name .. Cheryl ? Maybe … she was very patient and even made sure that everything was OK!!
One of my new favorite places to visit !!
Oh .. Did I mention that they are dog friendly and on Tuesdays all pours are 4. bucks !!“

Best fries in town and anything you get on the menu is a delicious win!! 10/10 and that’s rare these days!!“

“From Waianae Hawai’i, kanaka born and raised and been in Wilmington about a month or two. They musubi was kinda small compared to normal musubi’s but was good 😊, tried the Lava flow which was supposed to be like the spicy ahi poke was didn’t get the habanero stuff but got everything else. Tasted FRESHHHHHH which is very hard apparently for other places around here! So that’s a big winnahz!!!! FRESHHHHHH FISH!!!!! besides the adding of the eal sauce it tasted just like the regular spicy ahi poke you would get from Foodland back home. Or actually no it’s Tamura’s quality and if you know they got the best!!! So that’s says a lot. The furikake had a bit too much sesame for me but you know how they do. They are limited on the aloha juices but they got the good ones. They get hawai’i kine beer too. But overall was nice and good food, the dude that makes the stuff is nice he showed me the ahi and answered any question I had bc when you first see the menu it is VERY CONFUSING….. it’s not like back home at all. Very different but once explained you’ll get it! Nice ppl and Onolicious food! Not bad on pricing for da bowl either was normal size! Not much Hawaiian quality food this way or kanaka ran places but this one is good! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 and they got merch too! Not like haole style food it’s kanaka style!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Great place...great atmosphere...love the ping pong.. 🏓🏓🏓“

“Amazingly delicious beers! Very welcoming environment!“

“Such a hidden gem. I had a hoppy wife IPA and it was crisp and refreshing. I'll definitely be back soon!“

“Wonderful beer, friendly staff and a great location.“

“Incredible selection and the vibes are always the best. Beautiful place inside and out 👍“

“Good service and food from JD“

“These sons of fishes won't stop making great beer. From the Second Cove IPA to the Danger Berry Blonde Ale, I can't stop; nay won't stop believing this may be the bestest beer in town. Don't even get me started on Thursday evening party fun time! 11/10 would recommend.“

“Was in Wilmington looking for a place to eat this place sounded good. I wasn't disappointed, food was really good and the service was great. Riley did a great job.“

“I usually go to the Bean for coffee but just tried a smoothie yesterday. It was literally the best smoothie I have ever had. The lady at the window was super patient with my questions!!! I got the mango/strawberry. It was ridiculous!!!! Will definitely get that again.“

“I don’t often feel strongly enough to leave reviews but I loved this place and want to recognize our server, Melissa! Me and my boyfriend visited Wilmington on a trip celebrating our anniversary, and we decided to come here because neither of us have ever had fondue. This was a great experience for both us and also a great date night! Our server was Melissa, and she recommended our broth and also my dipping sauces, which were all great. She really knows the menu well and what pairs with what. The choices can be overwhelming, especially for our first time at a fondue restaurant, but she is very patient and helpful. She is a great bartender too, my boyfriend really loved the Manhattan she made him and I also loved the drink she made me, which is saying a lot because I am very sensitive to alcohol. This place is also very fairly priced for the amount of food you receive. Great environment, food, and experience!“

“I love Capt’n Bills, feels like home here! A great place to sit back relax with a beer or cocktail, or jump in a game! One of my absolute favorite places in Wilmington. Plus, they're dog friendly!“

“We had our annual Wandetlust Wilmington 2.0 Super Bowl party at Eagles Dare 2-9-25. Joe Apkarian the owner and his team were beyond superb for us all. We had a catered event there for almost 100 members of the group. The place was ready to rock and roll when we started to arrive. Joe was very accommodating in our set up of the room. The three bartenders Shelby, Gillian, and AJ were spot on with great customer service, attentive, and made wonderful drinks!! (They were so good I gave each one a personal tip and tipped again on my bill) Joe’s selection of the caterer was beyond expectation. Delivery was on time as well as the second refresh. He used Dough House Pizza Company” downtown. All the attendees could not stop praising the food. The place just made 100 new customers. In closing if you have a need for an event Joe and the Eagles Dare team needs to be your first stop. If anyone wants any personal info about the establishment feel free to DM me!!! Thanks again Joe and Team Sam“

“Thank You Mission BBQ for great food products, friendly service, and your exceptional hospitality to military Vets and area First Responders. Your dining area walls are a museum of first hand experiences of those who serve and served this great nation. If anyone dines here for the first time, try if you can to do so at Noon of any day, when they ask patrons to stand for and sing the National Anthem. This is a business that "walks the walk" of appreciating this great nation - and not ashamed of doing it. And finally, did I mentioned their BBQ is exceptional! Thank you.“

“Food and service were fabulous, our server Nick went over the top to help our large group and kept us informed when there were delays in ordering and receiving food. However, parking continues to be a nightmare at this location and I likely won't be going again until that improves“

“Awesome atmosphere, food, drinks, and staff! Highly recommend 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Duck and Dive Bar is such a gem! The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or just relaxing with a drink. The bartenders are friendly and really know how to mix a great cocktail, and the food hits the spot every time. It’s the kind of place you can easily lose track of time in because the atmosphere is just that good.“
