Stopped in for brunch on a whim while traveling. Fantastic, friendly service. Delicious brunch with a large menu. The daily omelet special was unusual and tasty. We’ll come back to Wilmington to try it again.

Came in for lunch on a weekday and they weren’t busy at all… it was right after they switched to lunchtime that I arrived, but by the time I left, they were getting busy. I sat at the bar and started with a cup of Brunswick Stew. The stew was very flavorful, but was so thick, it didn’t resemble a soup nor strew, it was more like a casserole. I then went with their chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bread.

The chicken salad was just ok. I bit into something...

Don’t miss their brunch! We had the spinach feta grill, and southern benedict both with the potato cake. They were outstanding! Brunch was followed by cheesecake for dessert. It was so good we went back again for lunch the next day. The basics burger was also very good. Definitely stop here when in Wilmington!
