Just what you would expect: excellent Southern comfort food served with pride. Funky space, great servers. Wilmington is a neat little city and this place fits right in. Highly recommended.

Basics absolutely lives up to its name — simple, clean, and perfectly executed! The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and everything feels effortlessly put together. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, coffee, or just hanging out, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer. Consistency, quality, and comfort — Basics nails all three. Highly recommend!

Small dining space so people are greeted outside...sonif there is a line, know there is no lobby in restaurant.

People seemed friendly and attentive. They also seem to work as a team so cant imagine much gets dropped here. Cobb salad was good. Really enjoyed the smoked chicken and guacamole turned out to be a great touch!

Tomato soup had a great flavor but consistency was more like pizza sauce. Wouldn't recommend. Mac and cheese was simple and delicious. Appreciated the melted cheddar on top.

Great Southern influenced food with great service.
I had a risotto with shrimp and sausage, think shrimp and grits over risotto. When it came out I said no way I'm finishing that. It was so good I finished it all and then needed to go for a walk to work a bit off.
This was my second time there and I was once again impressed...

The food was good, atmosphere friendly and relaxed. We liked the restaurant. If you are in the area and want southern food its worth it.
