This is located very centrally in downtown Wilmington and offers parking validation so don't be discouraged about the parking situation. There's a lot on the side you're free to use. We were seated right away on a weeknight and it was actually pretty full for being a weeknight. They have a good amount of space though. Millie was our server and she was a sweetheart. She was on it from start to finish. Checked in on us very regularly and provided above and beyond service. She contributed to our excellent experience. Fried chicken had to be ordered as it sounded so good and it definitely didn't disappoint. It comes with two sides and all of the sides were fresh. Portions were super hearty and generous. Chicken was fried to a crisp, in a good way!! The chicken sandwich was also great, but the fries are also very memorable, incredibly fresh. We were so surprised by how hot the food was in temperature, again in a good way. Everything was made to order. I loved that we were able to try this place out. I definitely recommend it and we will be thinking of the fried chicken for a long time!

Tl;dr - If you come here for their main event - chicken and fries - it's very good. Anything else,…read moredon't waste your time. Vegetarians need not bother. 3.5? I was not in love but I think there are some caveats there because I am not the typical customer. First, we appear to have come right at the height of their dinner rush. It took a while to get seated. The hosts told us to sit at the bar and then the bartender kicked us out of our stools because we were waiting for a table and apparently the bar stools were only for people who were eating, so we had to go find a bench. When we did get seated they put us at a really weird high top in a separate room when there was a much nicer low top available in the main room that we switched to. I got the sense both that this place was kind of hectic and that they didn't think they needed our service. But then as we were eating it cleared out all of a sudden and we were the only people left at like...8 pm. Our server was...accetptable. Not rude, but kind of short. Compared to the lovely personable service we got at other places in Wilmington it felt...I dunno, New Yorky? Then there was the food. And here comes my biggest caveat. I am pescstarian and do not eat chicken. So I ordered a shrimp po boy. It was not good. Not bad. But not good. Especially for the price which, honestly, competed with the prices where I live in DC. Every other person around me ordered chicken. My husband ordered chicken. He really liked his chicken. So obviously, this is a place where you get chicken (if the name didn't make it obvious). Had I ordered chicken I likely would have enjoyed my meal a lot more. But if you have shrimp po boys on the menu, endeavor to make them decent or take them off. Also I subbed a side cesar instead of fries and it was an afterthought. The fries themselves were excellent. If I ate chicken and came back to Wilmington I would maybe give this place another shot but as it stands, nah.

Was a double patty with tomato, arugula, white American cheese and thousand island dressing served on a nice sesame bun. Tremendous burger, highly recommend.

The restaurant had a nice bar vibe to it, and it was decorated with posters from One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek since it was a filming location for both shows. The music of the restaurant was a lot of my favorite pop artists (Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, etc.) so it was fun to sing along. My only complaint is that we were one of two groups in the restaurant and it took us around 30 minutes to receive our food after we ordered, and there were only three of us. Other than that, we had a great time!

We went to try this place very excited but we were turned away…read more We came on a Monday at 2pm. There were a few people eating inside and outside. They had 2 open tables. A waitress/hostess came up to us and said they were currently not sitting anyone and that the kitchen was taking a break and to come back at 3pm. Huh?? The hours online do not reflect this. It's advertised as 11-9 on Apple Maps so we were very disappointed. We just came home. We don't plan on ever attempting to go back because that was just very weird. And now I'm scared we would just be turned away again if we went. So if you're thinking of going you should probably call ahead and ask if they will let you come in and eat with everyone else or if they are not letting people in at the moment.

What's the one dish from your childhood you wish you could taste again?…read moreYou know the one, the dish that, with one bite, could transport you back in time. Apparently, for me, it's butterbeans. Who knew? Rx Chicken & Oysters feels like your neighborhood restaurant--and tastes like my grandparents' kitchen. First, let's talk fresh. Follow their Facebook page and you can literally see them catching your dinner, farming your oysters, or digging for your clams. Yes. It's that fresh. We started with peel-and-eat shrimp, oysters, and cornbread served piping hot in the skillet it was baked in. Honestly, we could have stopped right there and left perfectly happy. But we're not quitters. And it was half-price wine night, so clearly we had responsibilities. We did almost lose a glass in an unfortunate table incident. But is a good dinner complete without a little spilled wine? I think not. Then came the fried chicken, perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Finger-licking good, and yes, I realize another chicken place already claimed that phrase, but sometimes the truth is the truth. The ribs with blueberry barbecue sauce deserve some sort of culinarily award. But here's the plot twist... The star of my plate was the bacon-braised butterbeans. BUTTERBEANS! I'm sitting there surrounded by fried chicken, ribs, oysters and shrimp, and apparently I've decided beans are the hill I'm willing to die on. I'd go back for those alone. One bite and suddenly I was sitting in my grandmother's kitchen again. And maybe that's what I loved most about Rx. It's fresh, local and creative without forgetting what Southern food is supposed to do and that's make you happy, make you nostalgic, and make you eat entirely too much.
