“I have been going to this restaurant for some time and recently I asked for wet lemon pepper wings which isn’t on the menu. Now let me tell you I have been looking for good lemon pepper wings in Wilmington for some time and have not found them. She actually made a lemon pepper sauce for me and let me tell you it’s the best wet lemon pepper I have ever had. You need to try it ASAP. And it don’t just taste good on the wings, try it on the catfish, which she made special for my kiddo. When I tell you that ish hits mannnnn… that sauce is the truth. 💯“

“Classic Breakfast and Lunch spot. Wish there were more places like this. Where did they all go? $17 bucks for an iceberg salad with a tiny chicken breast (probably a fileted half of a breast) seemed very steep as I was still hungry and could have used that $20 bucks somewhere else and gotten more food. They are not known for their salads, but their home syle meals to be honest. Prices have just gotten so high, I just can't afford to eat out anymore when I can get so much more at home.“

“Incredible food, very flavorful and perfect. oysters on half shell the best I had ever eaten. 10 out of 10 on service and experience. It was worth it!!!“

“Best buffet I’ve ever been to and best bbq in NC- hands down. The owners and the staff are all awesome! Casey’s has won best buffet pretty much every year since I moved to Wilmington and it is well deserved. If you like good ole southern cooking like grandma used to make- do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“Went for the breakfast buffet. New remodel looks great, service was good, and the food was hot and fresh! Will absolutely be bringing my family back“

“I gave this restaurant a call asking if The public could dine in due to it being inside the hotel. She said of course we could. l let her know that we were coming from the federal courthouse to do breakfast because we was tired of same old breakfast spot adjacent to them. To make a long story short the staff was very nice. The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing. Definitely will be back“
