    Collin himself

    Collin might have been the best server/bartender I have ever had in my life. He was so attentive that I never had to question my need for another beer, my order, or my thoughts on what I may need in general. I would like to thank Bills as a whole, but more specifically Collin behind the Tiki bar, for the experience that was given to me.

    You're probably not coming here for the food, but to play volleyball and hang out. My friend and I got the nacho plate and it was very average...lots of lettuce, some tomatoes, and a side of chili. It really needed pico or salsa. That said, we weee hungry and ate it. They were out of some of the beers we wanted, but settled on one of the sours which was fine. Again, nothing crazy to write home about, but the place is fine for a casual afternoon and drink.

    Several courts, nice sand

    This is such a unique place and the staff are very nice and on the ball. my daughter played in a volleyball tournament here and we want to come back now for every tournament because there is no place like it with so many courts plus air-conditioned space and the tater tots were delicious!

    Fun place for beer and food. We were a group over over 100 people (beer club) The place is closed on Tuesays but they opened up the place for our group. Ordered food via their app. Good food, although the pulled pork was on the dry side. Fried chicken sandwich was filling, as was the burger. Tasty fries. The batteries fried mushrooms were hot and juicy. Their cocktail menu needs updating, as the font colors are very hard to read.

    Mussers BBQ Sandwich
    Avery E.

    Pretty decent food. Went out on a Thursday night after a long drive to the town, the location was bit hard to find through gps. However the sandwich was good but the fries were a little too salty and covered with seasoning. Service was okay but rather slow for only having two tables and four people at the bar. There were people playing volleyball which may have hindered the service but otherwise cool little place to try but probably won't come back.

    A Wilmington institution for good reason. Great food (still at reasonable prices), excellent brews from right next door (Bill's Brewing Co.) and some of the most efficient/friendly service you'll ever receive. One of my happy places, never change!

    $2!!! Take a chance!

    But even if volleyball isn't your thing, it doesn't seem like you need to be a fan to enjoy yourself here.

    Finally! After many years, we made it back to Copper Penny! On our return trip from Southport we…read morestopped in downtown to grab a bite before heading home. We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

    Good service but the food was so so. Figured we would try the Guy Fieri recommendations. Nice…read morelittle spot in an old building. Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1. Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served w/chipotle ranch......Amazing!!!! Best we have ever had. 2. 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich had an amazing balance of ingredients that would make your mouth water. Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.
