Has yummy vegan grilled cheese for alternative - other delicious sandwiches made to order - cool little outdoor area with picnic tables - very casual and laidback - not fast food so expect to wait or order ahead - we look forward to returning! Staff was friendly!

Great little sandwich place!!! Service is fast, sandwiches are the best!! Had the Caprese Sandwich- highly recommend.
Set up like an old diner. Tables and bar searing.
Entire experience was great! Sit at the bar for a full immersive experience.

We LOVE this place! Sandwiches are so good and our vegetarian friends can come because any sandwich can be subbed veggie. The chips are seasoned and so yummy!

After scouring the internet for gluten free options while on our trip visiting Wilmington, we landed on The Half. It was a very cute sandwich shop and had an awesome vibe to it. We’re on our way to the beach, so when we got inside, we ordered our food and then the rest of my group went back outside to our van to apply sunscreen since it takes time to soak in after applied.

I was standing at the bar waiting for our food, and the blond staff member with tattoos on her right arm decided to talk trash about my family members for being in their swim suits and applying sunscreen on the sidewalk. I was taken aback in the moment because with the amount of people that were within earshot, that an employee would be making fun of customers that were just inside of your establishment spending quite a bit of money. The cashier even turned around and mentioned that my family was really sweet and that they were just inside ordering, and the blonde staff member continued on poking fun.

Overall, the food was delicious, the wait time was short, the vibes of the restaurant were great, but the staff member making negative comments about my family members/customers within earshot of everyone in the restaurant to another employee was very displeasing, especially as a traveler looking to get a feel for the area.

Tried this sandwich shop on a grandmother/mother/daughters outing. We all really enjoyed the food. All of our sandwiches were delicious. If you like a good sandwich, this is a place to try.

If you order the Italian, get the spicy relish on the side! It’s very good and very spicy!

Best sandwich shop in Wilmington no question. Everyone is super nice and the food is amazing. You can tell everyone cares about what they do and it shows through the food and the atmosphere. Can’t wait for the second location to open.

A group of four of us went here around 1 on a Saturday. Was pretty busy but the wait for food was worth it. My husband and I got the caprese (added ham) and the tucker + tomato. Both were extremely delicious!! The pickles also were amazing I’m not sure how they make them but those were very good as well! My friend is GF and her Tucker was great and she said the bread was decent but it was a lot smaller compared to mine, happens with GF bread but that would be the only negative I could even say about this palace. Overall very good!!

The sandwiches ranged from mediocre to downright bad. The Mixto tasted wrong, and the Rachel was aggressively bland. The pickle ordered with our food wasn't even a proper pickle, it was half of a cucumber. Sandwiches are incredibly overpriced, and even though the wait isn't the fault of the staff, as it was incredibly busy when we went, it was just disappointing to receive a bad sandwich after waiting 30 minutes.
