Beer-Battered Fish & Chips
Joey L.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Place was medium busy. The place was very cool, an outside seating with a sick entrance. Inside was a small brewery to the left and bar tot eh right, very rustic interior. We sat upstairs, the bartender was our waitress and came up with menus. The food menu and beer menu was extensive. There was also a. Happy hour from 2-5 menu that had cheaper options but it was 12 pm for us. I got the fish and chips, substituted mashed potatoes instead of the coleslaw. The fish was really tasty, and paired well with the sauce, it seemed like it was recently caught. The fires were also very nice with whatever seasoning they used. The mashed potatoes were good. Was a great eating experience at Front End Brewery, most noticeable thing was our waitress was on top of things, with orders and refilling orders, some of the best service I've had.

Went to Front St Brewing on a nice Friday night and sat at the bar to watch the Knicks game. The beers are decent, lot of different styles and cocktails for those not into the beer scene. The highlight of this place for me was the food. I got the Fish and Chips while my wife got the American burger. Fish and chips was some of the best I've had recently, perfectly good size breaded piece of haddock that was crispy and delicious with every bite, fries were also on par. My wife loved her burger which I also had a couple bites of. Seasoned beautifully and she keeps talking about the tomato cucumber salad she had as a side. Our bartender was quick and willing to offer good options to order from. Very nice spot in Wilmington.

Seafood Platter!

2 ate dinner for $51.86 before tip and including an appetizer. Inside is beautiful - nostalgic throw back - high ceilings low lit - nice - bar vibe so no tablecloths - bathroom clean on Saturday night - Pretzel was amazing - the cheese made it - Pretzel Chicken Sandwich on point!

My sister and I stopped in this spot right on the main drag in downtown Wilmington for shrimp and grits (me) and fish and chips (her). She said her fries were cold, but that her fish was excellent. Looked like cod to me. Mine was interesting. The grits were grit cakes. They needed salt, but other than that, it was good. Good amount of shrimp and a tasty sauce. Decent prices, and Wilmington doesn't have the meals tax that I'm used to paying at home, so that was a pleasant surprise. Friendly service. Everything came out quickly, too.

Southwest Bowl / Pineapple Paradise Sour Ale

Loved my experience at Front Street Brewery! I tried the Pineapple Paradise sour and it was delicious! On top of that I got some really yummy food. Our server was very attentive and kind and was great at her job. The atmosphere was very upbeat and fun!

Beer Nuggets

Great experience all around. Good vibe and cool bar with a solid beer list and a crazy whiskey list. I got beer nuggets and a chicken salad sandwich, super solid. Bartender, Kiegan, was fantastic. Prices were on point. Everything was awesome.

Good service and really good (but small) pretzel. I am nocking off a point due to the limited number of beers on tap. I saw only six and if you are going to have a tap room you need more. Other than that it was well worth a stop in.

Front Street Brewery is near the corner of N Front Street and Market Street, about a block from the Cape Fear River. I went on a fairly warm day and chose to sit outside with our dogs. Before worrying about the humans, the staff immediately asked if it was okay to bring a bowl of water for the dogs. That was really nice of them. I had the beer batter fish and chips with a pint of their original pilsner. The fish batter perfectly coated the fish and was fried just right. There were no soggy, oily spots and no spots that still tasted like batter. The ice-cold pilsner added a nice, light flavor on a warm day. Although we were sitting outside, we were not forgotten. The staff kept checking up on us, but not so often that it felt intrusive.

Ethiopian T'ej Honey Ale & Bourbon BarrelAged Scottish Ale. Both are delicious

This review is only on the bar. We were looking to try one of the local breweries after a hike. We were impressed with the selection and quality of the beers. In addition, they have an amazing assortment of bourbon, too! Initially, Schweety was going to try one but it was included in one of the featured flights so we ordered that. Each was very good!!! Our bartender was very knowledgeable and greatly enhanced our visit.

Had a nice visit here recently with relatives. The menu had a number of interesting options and the service was good. I chose the Slapwich because the name was funny and seemed like a great combination. I must admit that while the sandwich was pretty good, it did not quite live up to its name. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate recommending this place.

Was expecting beer and some pub grub. What I got was a nice experience with tons of options in food and drink. I liked they had a special food selection under $10. So I tried the grilled cheese with bacon. Very good. I had a taster flight and these folks brew legit beer. The bar was beautiful. Old school style and made me feel like I stepped back in time. Oh and their selection of spirits is massive. Barkeep was friendly and very efficient. She took orders with no notes from everyone and never skipped a beat. Great spot for food and beverage. Try it out.

Beautiful bar!!!!!

I recommended this place based on my Yelp research and convinced my husband to give it a try. The place was packed but a kind college student gave us his seat and offered to stand at his friends' table. Lots of football on the TV which we loved. Husband said his old fashion was more straight whiskey with a cherry so he watered it down. My ginger ale was good. I ordered the pretzel bites which come with a delicious honey mustard dip and a cheese dip. It was very satisfying and a large portion. I also got the curly fries which were yummy and a good portion size too. Husband enjoyed his fills sandwich and pasta salad. Prices are super reasonable especially given the portion size. Staff is friendly and competent. Unisex Bathroom is clean. Even though it was packed. It was not too loud and easy to have a conversation. Come here for some good food and strong drinks!

Such a unique and different menu we started out with the Big Wes Lil' Weiners which was 4 smoked Jalapeno and cheddar sausages wrapped in an empanada crust served with an arugula chimmichuri dipping sauce. So innovative and delicious, sauce had a bite to it and the sausages were juicy and crispy with the empanada crust, highly recommend. I wanted to house made roast beef only available on the weekends but it was sold out, no surprise. Opted for the Ghostface Fillah instead. Shaved ribeye, arugula, horseradish on delicious sourdough bread. Perfect amount of ribeye and the all of the components worked perfectly. Saw quite a few people getting the burger as well, people rave about it. We also got an order of the garlic parm curly fries which couldn't have been much better, place just has such a fun menu putting their twist on American staples, perfect spot to grab a bite and watch a game. Our server had food recommendations, limited seating inside but just the right amount, worth any kind of wait you might encounter.

I ended up getting the French toast and some hot tea for breakfast. The staff were very helpful when dealing with the tea as they would bring me a separate cup of hot water when I was ready for another round. They also had a decent selection of breakfast teas for me to pick from at will. I had gotten a tea at a local coffee shop yesterday afternoon and they charged double what this place charged, and I would still pick this restaurant over the coffee shop. Free refills of hot water is a perk too! I will be trying to find this brand once I get back to my home in Texas. The French toast was beautifully served with a kind attitude from staff. Very filling and tasty, but a bit dry. I enjoyed the meal but I would rather have gotten the buffet, that they offer on Saturdays and Sundays. I kept seeing the meals people were getting from the buffet and they looked delicious! If I visit Wilmington again, I will be trying that buffet. Main takeaway is: great food, great service, and great environment!

We got the scrumptious chocolate chip cookie with the vanilla ice cream which she flash froze for us so it wouldn't melt when we walked back to our houseboat. And it was still intact and not melted at all when we got back. That was a wonderful touch. This was a nice place to go to for a nice sit down dinner with good food.

What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.

We each got a bowl of gazpacho, an appetizer size portion of two very small duck lumpia followed by tile fish with flat noodles and a savory broth. The course then was a shared short rib that was entirely fat/gross, one smal grilled onion and two tiny empanadas to share . Desert was a small scoop of ice cream and small crumble type cobbler to share. We in no way felt like it was $90, the portions were not enough to sustain us and we felt incredibly cheated and somehow conned/robbed of over $200 for each of us couples out. Very disappointing!
