We ordered the fish & chips, when we received the fish and hush puppies were burnt, my partner didn't want to return the food because of what might happen.I believe we should somehow be compensated for this terrible meal.Thank You!

Sitting outside and watched the black bouncer in a black cut off shirt go after a girl at close tonight screaming and yelling acting like he was gonna pull her out of a car after she dropped some things off to him, made me and my wife uncomfortable so we looked around for cops and there was a fight going on not 10 feet away isn’t that what the bouncer is supposed to be focusing on? Idk man not a good vibe that’s for sure

Have not got my food yet so I can’t comment on taste. Only people in here eating and waiting 25 mins to eat. Think our server went to break! Needs some serious upkeep like paint and cleaning. Bathroom upstairs so if you are handicap oh well. Hope the food is better than the wait and surroundings.

Stopped in for a bite while downtown waiting on fireworks. Saw the patio with live music and tried this place out. We ordered a burger meal, fish basket and shrimp basket plus mozzarella sticks for our appetizer. Long wait for food and the mozzarella sticks came out with the food and we’re cold and doughy. Both the fish and shrimp were burnt black, I think maybe the oil is old. Burger was ok. Server was friendly but the food was not good. And the bathrooms were disgusting, dirty, no paper towels and missing doors. This is probably a good place for a drink late night but not for food.

Came here looking for a spot opened past 10 who had oysters. I was not disappointed! The food took some time but it wasn’t horrible. Drinks were delicious and the One Tree Hill decorations made me smile!

Food was way overpriced and not great at all. Shrimp and grits had no flavor. I won’t go back

The service here was the worst service I’ve ever had, and I am always someone who gives people the benefit of the doubt, but this was unacceptable. The server not only took 2 years to come take our drink orders, she also brought me kids 3 chicken tenders which was incorrect because I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. You could tell she just didn’t care. We were already there 45 minutes, so I did not want to wait another 45 minutes to get my “corrected order” so she just decided to charge me for the incorrect order that she gave me. On top of that she didn’t come by one time to refill my drink and never asked how the food was or anything. It was just the most non existent service. I was excited to eat here because I am a big one tree hill fan but definitely was not worth it at all.

Place is a nightmare. When it turns into night they have a bunch of pick me boys working the front detouring guests as if they own the place.

I went there this weekend to get a drink. The bartender ended up loosing my card even though they had it for all of 2 minutes. They gave me the receipt and then proceeded to argue with me and get annoyed at me, when I asked for my card back. I had to cancel my card that night, which has financially screwed me over considering that I am suppose to go on vacation and now cant, because I do not have a card. I called the next day and my card "magically appeared" but the staff said that they do not know where they found it, and that it just appeared.... I feel like I should be compensated due to the stress and the situation they have placed me in.

Definitely a vibe with a covered outdoor seating area with bar and cool lighting!

Stopped in for lunch and had the fish and chips. It wasn't the best I've had by far, but the drinks were good and service was good.

We were walking around Wilmington River Front and heard this great live band kick off, took us a few minutes to figure out it was coming from the Reel Cafe rooftop bar. It's a great little place to hear a band and have a drink. Haven't tried the food yet. I wish they had a few more seats up at the rooftop bar, these old legs get tired..... But we loved it anyway.
