“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.“

“I love WBB! My family and I come every time we visit the area. Kellie is the best 😀“

“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!!!“

“Perfect 😍 this is my go to place and the place I bring carnists when I want to share a meal :)“

“The food was spectacular last night. The Hoss is one of the best sandwiches I have ever ate.“

“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.“

“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.“

“absolutely delicious! we tried their stuffed pretzels and they are well worth it! price&quality match for sure I'd HIGHLY recommend. they were good enough we stopped on the way back home to the triad just to have some later!“

“For a special occasion last week, we travelled from Durham to Wilmington try this restaurant. We were NOT disappointed and it was so worth the trip! The dishes were all plant-based absolutely delicious. Even if you are normally a carnivore, you will not miss having meat. The restaurant space itself is beautiful and very tasteful and relaxing. All the staff were super friendly and hospitable. Felt like I was saying good-bye to friends when we left. Looking forward to my next trip to Wilmington!“

“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!“

“Stopped there for brunch today. It was incredible! I had the Mediterranean Scramble.“

“The best biscuits n gravy you’ll ever have, and then hash browns 🤤“

“Really great brunch today for Mother's Day! It was our first time here. Glad we go there right at opening, food was worth the wait! Also great place to bring kids there is a lot of stuff you can do with them while you wait for your table and food!“

“Every thing we ordered was amazing we had Oysters Rockefeller and for dinner we got a fillet Oscar’ed and the swordfish Oscar’ed. This was one of the best dinners we ever had.!! The service was excellent too. 10/10“

“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.“

“Was in Wilmington looking for a place to eat this place sounded good. I wasn't disappointed, food was really good and the service was great. Riley did a great job.“

“Had a mix up with a gift card. They fixed it quick fast and in a hurry. Thanks so much Porter’s neck location!!!!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places !! The beer is great .. the service is always friendly … these days I only return & spend my money at places w/ good service and Fly Trap is very consistent!!! We were there last night and the bartender came out to light the fire pit for us - I wish I counselor remember her name .. Cheryl ? Maybe … she was very patient and even made sure that everything was OK!!
One of my new favorite places to visit !!
Oh .. Did I mention that they are dog friendly and on Tuesdays all pours are 4. bucks !!“

“I have dietary restrictions (lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, and vegetarianism) and our server Caroline as well as the cooks and other staff did a great job making sure there was no cross contamination. Caroline went out of her way to make sure my (and my bestie’s) experience was spectacular. I really appreciate everyone’s involvement in making our girl’s night a perfect evening out. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Great service and the food was excellent!“

“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!“

“Stopped into Famous Toastery for breakfast and it delivered exactly what you want from a go-to spot.
The omelet was perfectly fluffy and loaded, topped with a smooth layer of melted cheddar that pulled everything together. On the other plate, the eggs, sausage, and home fries were all brought to life with a rich sausage gravy that actually had depth — not just filler.
Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and consistent. Nothing overcomplicated — just solid execution across the board.
This is the kind of place you keep in rotation.“

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

“Great French food! Friendly speedy staff!“

“Best breakfast [Original] Best breakfast“

“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!!“

“I think their food is good, however everytime we go when we're on vacation they screw up our order. Doesn't matter what location.“

“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.“

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

“Variety of fresh bagels & reasonably priced. Staff are extremely friendly.“

“Hi guys !! I ordered pickup here and I was not disappointed the 4.7 star rating is there for a reason. The coconut shrimp was fantastic and the wings were good as well, but the drunken noodles stole the show! The drunken noodles here are never ending (the noodles aren't cut to pieces) leaving you with a mouthful of velvety texture and flavour. No other place in the area makes drunken noodles that aren't overly sweet or soggy and I genuinely enjoyed every mouthful. No other place will top this location and I hope to eat here again to try their other dishes. I LOVE THAI FOOD!“

“We had the breakfast bowls, they were delicious. Highly recommend Blue Surf over any other breakfast spot.“

“I have never been disappointed here!“

“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. ????????“

“Wow! Bone fish has a terrific fixed lunch deal. The brussel sprouts salad was huge, the fish cooked to perfection, delicious cole slaw and crispy seasoned fries. With a soda or fresh brewed ice tea!! All for under $15 bucks. \nMy waitress Giselle, was attentive and made me feel welcomed. It was an awesome lunch. Check it out.👍❤️🌹“

“Great spot to hit up on the Gallery Walk night. You absolutely can't go wrong with giving this a go. The menu is very cool, great vibes. Reminds me of some bars in Philly. You can always get some rocking food and super tasty beer (great selection by the way). If you like onion rings then it is a no brainier. The kitchen has it all together, service is very friendly. The place can get packed at times. It is worth the wait. Keep Rocking Penny!“

“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.“

“Amazingly delicious beers! Very welcoming environment!“

“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!“

“We stopped in on our way back to the airport from a week of vacationing at Top Sail Island, NC and the food and mimosa’s was awesome!! We’ll be back next year!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

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