“THANK YOU Candance for taking such good care of me this week by taking my food allergies seriously. She was AMAZING with ensuring my meal did not contain any of my food allergies, which allowed me to enjoy my dinner stress-free. It was my first time ever visiting the restaurant and I'll definitely go back.“

“Have had many items from their menu, from pizza mainstays to specials and every item is amazing! Always great service and food. If you’re upset about having to wait, maybe there’s a reason so many people are there… 🤤“

“Circa 1922 is absolutely the best restaurant we have found in the Wilmington area. We have been going there for the past 11 years! You could not ask for better service, better food, or a better atmosphere.“

“New to Wilmington and this place I was told I must try... I'm not an egg person, but these omelette's are KILLER!!!!!!!!! I recommend the western or veggie... My boyfriend likes the Spanish... I did try the salsa and it's very tasty... The home fries are fresh and my boyfriend killed a whole plate of grilled biscuits!!!! All the staff is friendly and fast... If your a small diner lover, like we are, this is a GREAT PLACE!!!!!“

“Visited 8/16/25, Greenville, NC. The food was excellent.. hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our waitress, Ramsie K, was excellent. Speed of service was excellent. We will definitely visit again.“

“Best chicken wings I’ve ever had! The pizza was exceptional love the honey pepperoni and got a supreme as well. Hadn’t tried that one yet. Super friendly staff well worth the trip.“

“I saw Crofton’s all over TikTok and wanted to give it a try with the family. We ordered ahead and drove 30 minutes for: Cheese and pepperoni Mac and cheese Chicken bacon ranch Cinnamon Loaded baked potato The order was ready when I got there and smelled AMAZING. The outside of the pretzel looked great and when you broke into it, they loaded each pretzel with what we ordered. The only issue I had, 3/5 pretzels were not cooked thoroughly and were pretty doughy. May have just been an off day, but def worth trying.“

“we had the pleasure of eating at Junction 421 this evening for a pre-Valentines dinner date I had the steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, spears, and crab meat and topped with a delicious Bernese sauce . Michael had shrimp and grits and we had a nice, romantic dinner. Evan was our server and he treated us like we were VIPs. Highly recommend this restaurant is so close to our home.“

“Amazing Family business!! Every time I visit I have a great experience! Staff is always friendly and welcoming when you walk through the door. Today I got my breakfast togo. I got to work downtown and my food was still hot & delicious! I highly recommend Our Crepes & More!!!“

“Great food great service great atmosphere“

“I have eaten Sushi all over the US as well as Asia and (not to mention) Japan. This place is very authentic and the sushi is just amazing. I only order sushi but my husband always gets a cooked dinner and he says they are amazing as well! The staff is attentive and the sushi chef (I believe owner) is fantastic. I sometimes get supermarket sushi as Genki is not real close to me. I used to appreciate it was “just supermarket sushi” but after Genki (10-12 times) it’s real hard to get a quick supermarket fix. Actually right now I’m salivating!“

“The Keg and Egg is hands down my favorite breakfast spot. The food is incredible—we’re talking the best fried chicken and sausage gravy I’ve ever had. The food alone makes it worth the visit, but the fun atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff really set it apart. It’s a must-visit—I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“Great cocktails, a varied wine list, outstanding food, fun music and relaxed atmosphere. So glad we had dinner here!“

“We were visiting from Michigan recently. And we were looking for a cool cafe. Down the street from where we were staying was Folks Cafe. We went in. OMG what a cool place. The owner Tammy is so nice and full of energy. We in fact went twice. If ever in the Wilmington area and looking for a cool, great food, great coffee and especially great friendly service FOLKS is the place.“

“Chris the manager stopped by to check on us after we ate our sandwhiches. We didn’t like what we had ordered and he was stand up and wanted us to be happy and let us reorder a different meal at no extra cost. The service was great, and Jennifer our server was excellent as well, everyone was a pleasure to deal with.“

“KK was our waitress and we had the best time celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary here! She made it an amazing experience and was a joy to be around. The food was AMAZING and I’ll be anxiously awaiting our next experience there! ❤“

“Thank You Mission BBQ for great food products, friendly service, and your exceptional hospitality to military Vets and area First Responders. Your dining area walls are a museum of first hand experiences of those who serve and served this great nation. If anyone dines here for the first time, try if you can to do so at Noon of any day, when they ask patrons to stand for and sing the National Anthem. This is a business that "walks the walk" of appreciating this great nation - and not ashamed of doing it. And finally, did I mentioned their BBQ is exceptional! Thank you.“

“Great service and the food was excellent!“

“Great food and too tier service!!! ❤️“

“Our go to for date nights! We went today for Mother’s Day brunch and it was amazing as well!!!“

“Best breakfast [Original] Best breakfast“

“Famous Toastery is a great spot for breakfast. I had the protein power bowl, and it was incredibly flavorful with the balsamic sauce filling, and packed with protein. The service great and the staff was very welcoming and outstanding. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews but they totally deserve one! We left the movies and my parents said “where are we having lunch?”. I said “right here! I looked at their menu during the movie”. Coquina did NOT disappoint. The “co’jito” and “café con leche” cocktails were perfection. The conch fritters were fantastic. In fact, we were shocked how many fritters come with the order and the size of them. Most restaurants we’ve been to that offered conch fritters come with (maybe) five fritters and always far smaller in size. And the actual amount of conch and size of the pieces: amazing. It was so nice to actually taste conch and not just breading/filler! And then the Cuban sandwich….. OMG….. My father and I always order a Cuban sandwich and judge a restaurant based on it if it’s on their menu. We both agreed that this was probably the best Cuban sandwich we’ve ever had! And we’ve tried them from Key West up to New England. The mayo balances out the mustard…. The melted Swiss cheese…. BUT the winner: the mojo-marinated SMOKED pork. Once you get through the creamy, savory, and tang, you get the smoke flavor and it’s just the perfect marriage of flavors. I know it’s supposed to be a fish-focused place, but do yourself a favor and get the Cuban sandwich!!“

“Good lord this pizza is good!“

“What an amazing first experience we had tonight! My wife and I live in Myrtle Beach, but our child lives here. We are staying at their place watching their pets while they are away. This place has been on our to try list for a while now and we finally had the opportunity. What an incredible experience! The food was outstanding! The flavor was on point and the servings were huge! My wife and I each had an amazing pasta dish and split the largest piece of coconut cake we have ever seen. Now, you would think after all that I just wrote that would be the best part of our experience, but it wasn’t! The absolute best part was one of the kindest people we have ever met, Bella! Let me tell you the meaning of her name fits in so many ways! She was absolutely incredible! So kind! So caring! I honestly could go on and on! She made my mine and my wife’s evening such a memorable night.“

“I LOVE RUTH’S! Growing up in the south, I have high expectations for southern cuisine. The flounder/shrimp are the best! The staff are always friendly, food is delicious, prices are great and fast! Check them out!“

“Wonderful beer, friendly staff and a great location.“

“I’m absolutely in love with their delicious Italian cuisines. It’s honestly, in my opinion the best in Wilmington. The staff are super nice! Especially, Al and Haily, because I’ve personally have met them both. Wilmington please try this restaurant to keep it going for years to come. My precious granddaughter loves it also. Thanks for all the hard work y’all put into making those mouth watering entrees. ????????“

“We were hesitant to try this place due to some of the reviews. I’m so glad we decided to give them a go. We ordered the Brie pastry as an appetizer along with espresso martinis. For our entrees we ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken pot pie. Truly amazing. The waitress was attentive and the atmosphere was great. We will be back.“

“the absolute best burger. hot food and fast.“

“I love the charcuterie!! It’s awesome!!“

“I just might be addicted. I had the Brussels side salad and mahi-mahi with garlic potatoes. I honestly didn’t need anything after the Brussels and bread. That salad is perfection. I’ll be placing to-gos of just that in the future. The fish and potatoes were perfection. Leave the chimichurro (green) sauce alone. Lemon butter with capers, for the easy win. Matt, our server, was attentive and so helpful. We walked right in and got seated. I’m so happy I took my dad here for Father’s Day!“

“Best food in Wilmington! My boyfriend often makes me eat there twice in one day 🙃“

“Excellent food, burgers made to order and very fresh, crispy tots. The staff were friendly and helpful. I can't believe we've waited so long to try the Mess Hall. We willbe back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best breakfast in Wilmington“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zócalo is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Wilmington! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with generous portions and great presentation. The service is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Consistently great food and a wonderful local spot—highly recommend!“

“Came in a few weeks ago for my wife’s birthday, just got finished with my anniversary dinner. This place just became my weakness. I highly recommend this restaurant. Reservation highly recommended. You’ll get the one on one service you’ve never had before! That I promise you!“
