About The Original Salt Works

The Original Salt Works offers excellent food with great service, though prices have increased. This rustic spot serves breakfast and lunch at specific times. Standout dishes include grits and a hotdog with chili. The staff is efficient and friendly, making up for the casual atmosphere. The menu features simple, fast, and affordable options like the Salt Works Special, which includes eggs cooked perfectly, crispy bacon, hash browns, and toast. The hash browns are highly praised for their quality. Seating is limited due to the small size of the restaurant, but customers are often seated quickly with no wait, and food arrives promptly. Cash is preferred, and an ATM is available outside. Many customers recommend just going and enjoying the delicious, straightforward meals.

This has to be the be best lunch place in all of Wilmington. Don’t miss Bobs homemade bean soup!!!!!
Lived here almost 2 years before trying this place, then ate here twice in the same week. I think it might be the best double cheeseburger and fries I have ever had. My wife loved the onion rings.
This is our new go to place! One addition would make this place totally awesome and that would be milkshakes to go along with this wonderful food.
