I had just arrived in Wilmington on Amtrak and thanks to my phone I had located the nearest banking center so that I could grab some cash. After that I decided to see what local restaurants were nearby. Only a couple blocks down the street was the Front Door Cafe so I decided to take a look.
It's a very small space that puts you to mind of the deli markets of the past but I was thankful to see that they had 3 small bistro tables set up for dining. I was greeted by a very friendly lady named Tawana, she advised me of the daily specials as well as all of the side items.
I ordered a platter of fried tilapia with mac & cheese and cabbage for sides. The fish was delicious, battered and deep fried golden, the sides were also just like home cooking. I sat and enjoyed my meal and even chatted with Tawana afterwards, she and her cooks were very nice people and made me feel welcome.
Do yourself a favor and stop by there sometime for genuine home cooking at a value and extremely friendly folks! read more
