I took my daughter here for breakfast while exploring downtown Wilmington. From the outside, it looked a little rough, but I try not to judge a book by its cover. Walking in felt like stepping back in time, but not in a charming way. Everything looked painfully dated and semi-dilapidated.

Two very sweet older ladies were hosting and busing tables, and they were the highlight of the experience—kind, efficient, and engaging. I ordered the hashbrowns, ham, and eggs. Unfortunately, the ham was so oversalted it was inedible. I had to chop it (with the plastic fork) up into small bits and mix everything together just to make it somewhat palatable. I was rather shocked that a breakfast house was serving for breakfast on paper plates with plastic silverware. Then the entire experience. I might be old-fashioned, but I grew up with the understanding that you only served guests on paper plates if it was a barbecue, a picnic or a moving party where all the dishes were packed up in boxes.

The ceilings were covered in grease and dust, and I honestly don’t know how this restaurant received a 95.0 health rating. The kitchen’s condition raised several concerns about food safety and cleanliness. We left with a to-go box that I ended up throwing away.

I genuinely wanted to love this little local diner because we enjoy supporting small breakfast spots, but the lack of cleanliness and questionable food quality made me want to finish my meal quickly and leave. Sadly, we won’t be returning or recommending it to friends.

Better than expected. Service was good as well. Will def eat here again.

We ordered White Front Breakfast house on uber eats and the food was still amazing! Everything tasted so fresh and homemade! The American cheese grits were so creamy, biscuits were some of the best I’ve ever had!! And the hash browns & eggs were perfectly cooked! If you’re looking for a good home cooked meal, this is it!!! 1000000/10

Great little gem in center of town. Service was on point, never a moment of needing anything. The food was delicious. I had the fried bologna, hash browns & eggs topped with sausage gravy. The diner had old fashioned metal turn style seats at the counter. Due to small size, there's only 8 booths, so may have to wait for booth seating.
Parking lot was full, so parked on street is convenient. Definitely recommend to others.

I went in today and a rude customer made a comment on my jeans and my cardigans and said “I ought to be ashamed of myself” I told her to stop talking to me . The cashier looked at the customer and started nodding her head in agreement. I’ve had bad experiences with her too . She made a comment about my pants and said my mother would be disappointed and said “you people always look like that” . I’m sure you know exactly what she met by people. My drink was missing out my order and I called but when I called they declined and I called back and was blocked . I’d like a refund for not getting all I paid for and the micro aggressions thrown at me . This is not the type of service that should be accepted . On top of the food being cold, the disrespectful people and the blatant racism and not getting what I paid for , I don’t know which is worse . I wish I could give 0 stars

10/10! What a great experience this morning?! The Poorman's Benedict was excellent! Just enough food ready in minutes! They have the best gravy in town, just like MeeMaw used to make! Kim and Laura made us feel at home! Restaurant is quaint and clean! Put those one on your list as a must try! We will be back.

I came here every year in the 1990's on my family trip from PA to FL for breakfast. Yeah, it was a long time ago but I can't believe it's still here. Just thinking about it the other day.

stopped in for breakfast on our way out of town on vacation. The staff was super friendly and attentive to all of our needs and breakfast was great! Love little diner spots like this! We will be back!
