Breaded chicken with roasted peppers, mozzarella and balsamic
Deb E.

Ok, so we have lived in Wilmington for years and have gone to AJ's here and there and have used their catering services but today we watched Phantom and it sparked our want for some AJ's! Everything we ordered was delicious! And we have leftovers for another meal! The subs were delicious and his bread is soooo good! When I was picking up my families food, the gentleman in front of me made a comment that he watched phantom this morning himself and that is why he was there! Phantom isn't joking when voting AJ's for the trip worth driving to!

I always try to make an effort to sample what the locals eat. This small place is located in a working-class neighborhood. I found it on the web and decided to give it a try. I ordered Ziti with meatballs. The sauce was thick with gusto, as one expects from slow-cooking totato sauce. It's a bit on the salty side (to me), perhaps it's something a tired body needs after a long day of toiling. I observed that most of the patrons are the take-out kind. If one needs a quick dinner after a long day at work, this is definitely a good place to stop by. In that regard it deserves 4 *. The portion is generous and I felt satisfied after devouring the pasta and meatballs.

BBQ chicken wheat wrap ...less a few bites
Diana K.

Had seen a AJ's on Phantom Gourmet and heard locally it was fantastic so I was in the area and decided to phone in a BBQ chicken in a wheat wrap. When I arrived a very lovely young lady at the counter greeted me and my wrap was already ready. Services is extremely friendly and efficient, excellent value ($8.99 for the wrap). The wrap was thin (which I prefer) but held everything nicely, chicken was SO tender & perfectly cooked not to mention generous, perfect amount of sauce, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. The bonus - the slices of bacon, which I've never had in a bbq chicken wrap. Can't wait to return again to try their pizzas and calzones!

Great food and staff is super friendly! I think they might even make their own bread in house. Definitely a Gem!

110 Grill - Thai Sesame Salmon

I dined with friends who live in the area who come to this restaurant often. Of all the 110 Grill's…read moreat which I've dined so far (and I'll undoubtedly visit more in the future), this is probably my favorite at the moment. The quality of service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all very good. Turnover here is also very good, as there was no wait for an almost-full restaurant at 7pm on a Friday evening. Drinks were flavorful, but strength seemed a bit inconsistent. My Patriot's Pour, a bourbon drink, seemed a wee bit stronger both in flavor and perceived alcohol than the martinis we were served. The ice cube with the restaurant's name in it was a nice touch. Our dinners all came out at the same time and were, as mentioned, enjoyable. I did notice that the counter in front of the kitchen, where dishes are placed waiting for pickup, seemed to have more plates on it than the could be under the heat lamps. Hopefully folks' dinners weren't inconsistent in temperature. My Thai salmon was done the way I like it, firm and crispy. Parking outside is ample as well, there were several spaces free near the entrance at any time. They do a good job all-around here.

Had a pretty good dinner - we were promptly seated and ordered the kale salad to share for an app…read moreand the mushroom ravioli and pulled pork mac n cheese for mains. The salad arrived split on two separate plates which was a nice touch, and the sweet mustardy dressing balanced the bitterness of the kale and brussels - only comment is it was bit overdressed. The mushroom ravioli was tasty and had a good filling to wrapper ratio with a solid amount of cream sauce. The pulled pork mac was on the sweeter side and also had a lot of sauces - the bechamel, sweet bbq sauce and ranch. It was a touch too many sauces for us. Portions were a good size, a bit larger than expected. Service was attentive and fast, and the space is clean and comfortable, but could use a bit of an update, the upholstery on our booth was noticeably worn down. Overall a good meal, just note dishes tend to be heavier on sauces / dressings - we'll request to go lite on sauces next time.

This is my favorite TITS location of the bunch. I've found that service, food quality, and ambiance…read morehere all seem to be a level above the rest. This location sets the bar. For appetizers, we usually always get the wings. They're smoked and then I believe flash fried. Always tasty and tender. The fried pickles are great, too. Having a food allergy can be tough, not here. Virtually anything can be accommodated for, and the managers bring your food over with an allergy alert. For entrees I always get the bbq chicken pizza, or the Cajun pasta. I also LOVE the buffalo mac and cheese, which can feed you for a week. The drinks are very good. The beer menu is huge. I would give this location a 10/10. Always check for see the wait prior to coming. If you're in the area, definitely stop by!

Stopped into Tavern in the Square and ended up having a better time than I expected. The Bang Bang…read moreBroccoli was easily the highlight--honestly good enough that I briefly considered canceling my entrée and just doubling down on that. The bolognese was... fine. Not offensive, not memorable, just existing on the plate doing its job. The place was pretty packed, but somehow still calm. Lots of people, low murmur, nobody yelling over table noise--basically a small miracle. The beer list is huge, which is great if you like choices, or terrible if you're the kind of person who panics when offered more than two options. All in all, I liked it. Good atmosphere, great broccoli, and enough on the menu that I'd come back. Might even pretend it was my idea.
