Food 🍽️
Love this place! Similar to Moe's or Chipotle but it's local and wayyy better in my opinion. Multiple locals and really affordable. $5 tacos everyday after 5pm too! 🌮
Islands Fresh Mex Grill
Can you tell what I my favorite kind of food is. I always recommend K38 to anyone who looking for somewhere to eat in Wilmington. Good food and drinks!
K38 Baja Grill
Such a good breakfast and lunch spot. Lots of options for drinks as well. Usually is a lot of college kids or families so keep that in mind if you're wanting a chill sit down environment. They now have more than one location which is good because the...
Brunches
Good bar or restaurant environment. Went looking to watch the Eagles game and was very surprised to see sooo many other birds fans there to watch the game too. Great food and drinks while being able to enjoy the game. 🏈 Thank goodness for the outsid...
Carolina Ale House
Classic for Wilmingtonians. Took my Philly native boyfriend here and he approved! (Other than them not using cheese wiz, he still liked it considering it's not in Philly lol). I've been coming here for years and still love it! 🧀
J. Michael's Philly Deli
"America's favorite sweet wine" 🍷 Located about 45ish minutes outside of Wilmington is where they orginated. They have a location in Mrytle Beach, SC and soon in Panama City, FL. This location has a lunch restaurant called the Bistro and it's sooo g...
Duplin Winery
Multiple locations! Most are open late too so you can eat after a night out downtown. Some of my favorite pizza in town.
Slice of Life Pizzeria & Pub
Amazing friessss! Veggie and black bean burgers available too! Love the black bean burger! 🍔
P.T.'s Grille
Really great food and drinks. Very family friendly and an outdoor space for bands and games.
Burgaw Brewing
Coffee ☕️
Cute coffee shop right on the beach. It sits on top of South End Surf Shop just across the street from the ocean. Super cute merch for sale too. Parking is never fun being that close to the beach but if you're able to, I would definitely recommend. ...
SUNdays
This place is so cute and just an amazing place to just visit. They have multiple locations around the country now but Wilmington is the original. Everyone hired has some kind of disability and they're able to work as if they didn't. You definitely l...
Bitty & Beau's Coffee
Technically not in Wilmington but a quick 30ish minute drive to Burgaw is where they're located. I've loved this place for years and continue going back when able too. My favorites is the Carmello Macchiato with oat milk or The Man drink, a chocolate...
Brown Dog Coffee Company
Really cute coffe shop right in Main Street in downtown Wallace, which is about 40ish minutes out of Wilmington. Their specialty coffees and cupcakes look so good! A few shops you'll be able to walk to afterwards. ☕️
Mo'Joe Coffee & Cupcakes
Bars 🍻
Love this place for casual nights outs with some friends. Just buy your wrist ban and you can tap and only pay what you pour. Plenty of room for everyone. Games, tvs, music, pool table and darts. You're able to order food at the front desk and they'l...
Pour Taproom Wilmington
A literal hole in the wall, ha. They have arcade games and a few pool tables as well, but also couches and chairs to just sit and talk. Usually busy but still nice place to hang.
Blue Post Billiards
Good drinks, good music and has lots of seating inside and out. Does have a pool table as well. Definitely prefer KGB when having a bigger group and just wanting to sit and converse. 🍻
KGB
Bar arcade in downtown, so much fun! 2 floors and a bar on each floor. Everyone working is really cool and nice! Many games and pool tables.
Rally Point Bar & Arcade
Books 📚
Cute local book store located downtown. Parking is a little annoying, either have to park on the street, the lot across the street or the parking deck. The deck is free for the first hour though. Great selection of books and bookish thing. Was filmed...
