10 Best Bar & Grill in Wilmington

“I turned into a windmill. They sat me
next to a door that was constantly being opened to the outside world and it blasted cold air at me.

They also tried to charge me $29.99 for this “lobster” roll (and I use that term loosely). You can’t in good conscience tell me that this coleslaw concoction is more than 5% lobster. It’s potato chips and coleslaw on a tiny hot dog bread.

The burgers are solid.“

“I have a burger every Wednesday while enjoying great music from the hottest karaoke singers this side of Naamans road. Every bite is delicious! A must try.“

“This was our first visit. Every staff member we encountered were friendly and welcoming. The empañadas were delicious ! Our server Matt was amazing. He truly put this place high on our list. The price point was a pleasant surprise for the quality of the food and cocktails. A gem to find for national margarita day!“

“Our only issue was that they had NO MILK to make us any coffees! This was before 19:30 not at last orders.“

“Great food, great service!“

“I like my wings fried a certain way, I asked them to fry them exactly how I like and they came out better than expected. Also very convenient after 12:00am there isn’t too many options on the late side of things, it was about 1:00am when I ordered.“

“It's got pool tables, if you like to shoot, the staff is friendly -ish. It's a good atmosphere. A couple of the bartenders are okay, they are kind of slow and not very customer service friendly, but other than that I don't have any issues here and everyone seems pretty laid back.“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.“

“Have visited twice & both times had good service at the bar. Food delivered in a timely manner, and was as expected. Very good. Only disappointment was there were small children running around the bar area. Not much supervision from the parents. Was not enjoying the loud music either. Why can’t restaurants play nice soft music? Other than that, it won’t stop us from returning.“

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸“
