Restaurants near Silver Lake

“My wife and I do not eat out often. She is watching her carbs so the bottomless salad bar with a wide range of choices is an excellent choice for her while I am having a cheesesteak. She went back a second time because there were some good choices that did not fit on her plate.Vegetarian options: Large salad bar.”

“This evening we were excited to bring friends who had never been to Seabird, and it was my wife’s birthday! The food did not disappoint. Our friends loved it. It was good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor when they brought out a “no calorie” birthday cake! (A lit candle stuck to a dessert plate)”

“This is a phenomenal restaurant but I think what is missed in reviews so many times is five stars for the manager, Jeremy. Every time I go I watch this guy flow through the room greeting everyone and putting out small fires with such ease and grace. I would say Origins is Jeremy. No, I'm not related or a friend just an appreciative happy customer.”

“Bennys is consistently awesome! Pizza and salad with a warm atmosphere and always amazing service. I have been here a bunch of times with family, friends, dates etc. the pepperoni pizza is the best. The chopped salad is my fave in town (although they need to order kale/baby kale and not mixed greens for this salad). I’ve spoken to peeps there about it. The pizza is at its peak right now. Great for small groups or large. Always love it! #kaleyeah”

“Did the pizza making class with Naim, who started Cugino’s Wilmington Location. We made our own pies and there were no left overs. Definitely grab some cannolis on the way out. Could not recommend enough.”

“This is a gem! Quaint, top notch restaurant. Servers were attentive and the food was unbelievable! Best food we ate while visiting Wilmington, NC. Forget the riverside restaurants, you can just do the Riverwalk and then head here. This was one of the best meals we ever had. Well done!”

“Me and My boyfriend visited for the frost time Wednesday for a drink and dessert. Everyone recommended them for the best dessert downtown and they were right! We had a fantastic server named Paige! We couldn’t decide which dessert so we had her choose. She chose the chocolate sushi and it was so delicious! Something that I’ve never had before and was fun to try out. The drinks were also delicious. I highly recommend trying them out especially for dessert. Just wanted to give a shout-out to the restaurant and our server!”

“Food and service was top notch, and menu has lots of good options. Food for the kids cane out super quick, which as you may know is key with kiddos.4 stars instead of 5 cause the beer is just ok. If I was comming as a resturant 5 stars, butvwas expecting more from the beer being a brewery.”

“Amazing coffee, perfect, wonderful staff. Justin is great and absolutely lovely and the other staff were super sweet and kind. I loved my coffee, love the atmosphere and it was well worth the trip! I bought two coffees and it only cost me about $12 not including tip! Very strong and perfectly made. I came for the dinosaurs and I will come back for the coffee and staff.”

“I finally went to On Thyme yesterday after wanting to try it for months. It was well worth the wait. So good! My friend and I split the shrimp po boy with fried okra and the hot honey chicken sandwich with loaded fries. Nice sized shrimp with their awesome On Thyme sauce which kind of reminds me of a Cajun remoulade. Hot honey chicken sandwich had a huge cutlet of chicken. Everything had a nice breading that wasn't too heavy. Generous portions and delicious! The staff was so friendly and attentive. Outstanding service!!! The welcoming atmosphere from the staff is what really made it for me. Food was fantastic!”

“Prost is one of the best things to happen to downtown Wilmington in a while! I cannot recommend them enough for lunch or dinner—both are delicious. Their historic building's outdoor space in particular is truly special, and I try to sit there whenever the weather allows! As for food recommendations: - You have to get the pretzel. You just have to! It's mind-blowingly good. - I don't eat meat, but a companion of mine loves a good beef stroganoff, and he said it was the best one he had *ever* had. I heard similar reviews of the reuben! - The apple strudel is DELICIOUS. It's a surprisingly large portion—easily could feed two diners! Definitely give Prost a try. They won't disappoint!”

“Every time we come to town, we make a stop (or two) at Mimi and Papa’s. It’s been 6 months since I was last here, and Jordan remembered me as soon as I walked in today. This is a very sweet family with a spirit of excellence. The ice cream and popcorn are outstanding and reasonably priced. It’s icing on the cake to support a family-owned business! Can’t say enough good about this hidden treasure!!!”

“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!!!”

“Calamari was great, fresh and not chewy. Arugula with pear salad was good. Could have used more slices of pear, but still a good salad. My wife ordered the Waterzooi and it also was a good dish of seafood. Definitely will revisit this restaurant when we return to Wilmington”

“If you want to enjoy truly fresh, delicious seafood, then this is the place! One word... Outstanding! My compliments to the team. I definitely recommend this restaurant! ????”

“I received the best service at Bitty & Beau’s and the most amazing coffee with the most cozy atmosphere! 1,000 percent recommended My new favorite coffee place! ❤️”

“Excellent lunch experience at Kapow. Our meals were so good we ordered some carryout crab fried rice for dinner later that day. Be aware, "Thai Hot" is really hot here.”

“Great bar. Wonderful bartender. Knowledgeable, and insightful with the bourbons, which are plentiful, on hand. The best burger I've had in Wilmington. Double smash. Not to be missed. Looking forward to an opportunity to go back and trying more of the bourbons. Oh, the place was mostly empty. Kind of shocking considering the service and the decor, layout of the place. Place. It's got everything going for it except people.”

“Very cool spot. Upscale crowd and upscale prices. Food was good. A few hiccups in the order but they made good. Oysters were very good. Art District is very cool. The hush puppy’s were outrageous.”

“We sponsored an event at hi-wire for the WWAY spring showcase. We absolutely loved designing the flowers! The space has so much to work with! Hip and creative murals, colorful and spacious rooms, amazing outside beer garden, and delicious beers!”

“Had the steak skillet for breakfast with the cafe de olla and now I’m obsessed. Starbucks who? I’m coming for that cup of coffee every morning !!! The skillet was delicious and the service was great ! The portion size was perfect and the corn tortillas are hand made. My new favorite spot !”

“We were visiting from MT and had a date night here. The meal from the appetizer to salads, entree, to dessert was spectacular. We highly recommend! Non-plant based people would love this place too!”

“Crumbl cookies always hit the sweet spot and they have new flavors every week! Cookies are definitely big enough to share or eat off of for a couple days. I enjoy most of their flavors and the employees are always helpful.”

“FOOD WAS AMAZING!! Came from in from out of town thanks to a friends recommendation. I ordered sopes & an agua de jamaica, it was all DELICIOUS!! I am definitely taking my husband when we go to Wilmington. The service was great, they kept checking up on us to make sure we were doing okay.”

“Ordered the wing sampler. Very good flavors, well cooked, excellent value. Also tried the crab rice. Good flavor and value. Ordering on the web is a little quirky. Excellent service at the window. Ready for pick up when promised. I will definitely return.”

“Simply incredible. Don’t go in with preconceived notions of what you’ll order. Go with the recommendations. Indescribable dishes. Many kudos to staff, and interior designer as well. Bravo!”

“Wow, the bread and pastries were amazing. Reminded me of stick boy bakery in Boone. Nice location, super cute building. The bread was even better. Each item was a work of art, too.”

“love a good neighborhood sandwich shop! The guy taking our order turned out to be the owner; super friendly, made sure to come over & see what we thought of our sandwiches. Lots of options including tofu/vegetarian. Good local brew selection. Seems like a spot the college students ”

“Must stop on your visit to CB! Don’t let the outside fool you, this place is amazing! We went twice on our weekend to CB. Must get the bacon cheeseburger! I heard about this place on TikTok and I’m so happy I did.”
