  Great place to grab a bite to eat and hang out for awhile! Steps away from the river, very well maintained and super friendly owner and staff! Lots to choose from on the menu with a few awesome vegan selections. The food is great and everyone is so friendly, my wife and I really enjoy it here!

  Food, beverages and the best milkshakes. It is the only place I have found that you can actually sip the milkshake through a straw. Stop in for breakfast lunch or dinner and you will be satisfied. Great pastries, too .

  So, I don't typically do less than stellar reviews, but I just can't give over 3 stars to this place. The positives: it's in a really nice location in a new subdivision being built (River Lights) that has a fabulous new pier, boardwalk and park at the end of the street. If you get your food and walk down there, there are beautiful new tables to sit at with a beautiful view of the water. It is a fantastic place to have your breakfast or lunch. Second positive: the staff were very friendly, though not at all knowledgeable about the area considering they didn't even know there were huge tables down there to sit (I asked). Beyond that, I was underwhelmed. It was a bit pricey. I paid almost $15 for their small spinach salad, an order of tots and a bottled water. I don't mind paying money for great food, but this just wasn't worth what I paid. The salad was just spinach with some shredded cheddar, wet carmelized onions and a few slices of green apple. The tots were ok, nothing spectacular. There were supposed to have beer cheese on them and there was such a small drizzle that I'm not sure I would have even known it was there if the menu didn't say it was. I really wanted to love this place, but I just didn't and likely won't go back, especially since there are so many amazing local spots to eat in the Wilmington area that are much less pricey with much more to offer.

  Great Shop to grab a bite to eat or just desert. Ice cream for the kids too. Afterward we walk to the center square and relax in the hammocks and chairs under their huge oak tree. Special place indeed.
