Many visitors find it to be the best food spot in Wilmington, often returning multiple times to enjoy their favorite meals. The menu features a variety of sandwiches, including the Superetta, Chipped Ham, Mixto, and the tucker and ernie cold cuts, all praised for their bold flavors and generous portions. Specialties like the bahn mi, loaded with tofu, hoisin, and spicy sauce, offer a unique twist on traditional flavors. The restaurant also serves sides such as chips and chickpea salad, which receive mixed reviews but still complement the main dishes well.
Despite its small size, The Half Downtown attracts a steady crowd, so many recommend ordering online for takeout to avoid long waits. The service is friendly and efficient, and there is patio seating available for diners who prefer outdoor eating.
