I got the spicy chicken salad wrap. Trying to eat a little lighter these days. Most of the time a chicken wrap at a restaurant is a mediocre afterthought, but not here. It was delicious and actually decently spicy with Sriracha mayo and fresh jalapenos inside. The cheesesteak is great here but it's nice that the quality extends to the rest of the menu as well!

I was told to go here for a good cheesesteak sandwich so we decided to try it. First, the price are high when it doesn't include a side of fries or anything. As far as the cheesesteak goes, the best part was the bread. Nice and soft sub roll. Meat was dry and bland. I added bacon to mine and it was still bland. Bacon was stale. Absolutely no grease on a cheesesteak sandwich? That's just against cheesesteak religion.
"Large" brownie is the size of a normal size brownie. Smaller than what you'd get at Firehouse. Cheesecake slice was about half the size you'd get from anywhere else.
Very disappointing.

Bartender really knew the beer selection and suggested winners. Wings are above and beyond. Everything was amazing.

Small bar atmosphere with an amazing burger sandwiched in a glazed doughnut! Top notch cheese steaks as well.

In a great spot but little seating especially if you have a group. Waitress working on riverfest night was extremely rude. We waited a hour for our food which was wasn’t very good. It was edible but not worth the money. Especially when you pay $10 for a meal which turns out to be just the sandwich. No sides no drinks. You’re better off going to subway. The only positive thing is the gentlemen working the bar was very nice and helpful.

The atmosphere was sort of a neighborhood tavern, hole-in-the-wall. But the service was great, and the bartender was friendly and even gave us a list of other places he would recommend. The beer selection was expansive, but best of all, the burgers were exceptional. My wife doesn't usually eat burgers, but the "donut bun" special she found delightful.

I go there at least 1 to 2 times every 10 days since I've lived in Wilmington NC 1 and a half year and how hard is it when the employee ask the customer what they want and the employee still can't get it right I had to eat a dry sandwich because the cheese and toppings was missing

This place deserves 5 stars! I highly recommend this establishment. The service is top tier! Especially the bar. If you want a drink, they will have it ready for you ASAP! No waiting around. :)

I’ve worked in the service industry for a while and I know this place is a money vacuum while the ingredients are fresh nothing is appropriately seasoned, it’s overpriced, point of contact with the servers is unpleasant and less than congenial. And bacon bits should not be used in place of real bacon honestly the only salt content in my cheesesteak was the bread

Ordered through Grubhub like normal, order was delayed by 30 plus minutes. Not a big deal, our order arrived 1-1/2 hours after placing the order. The food was warm and looked decent. The Philly Cheese Steak was barely eatable with the steak being extremely tough and chewy. Not something I'd like to see from a place that specializes in Cheese Steaks. Next time I'll stick to a Hwy 55 Cheese Steaks which are 10 times better.

The cheese steak was overly salty. The bread didn't have a great taste either. Will not return.
