Service was friendly, prices were reasonable, overall- great spot!

Stopped in Wilmington for lunch and stopped at Port City Cheesesteak after hearing good things…read more I got the 6 inch cheesesteak with whiz (the only way to get a Philly cheesesteak) though if you disagree you could choose from several other cheese options. The cheesesteak itself automatically comes with onions but you can choose from a list of other toppings for a small additional fee. The bread was fresh and the Philly came out hot and filled to the brim with meat, it was fantastic my only wish is that the onions were cooked a little longer, but that's just personal preference. I also got the homemade chips which were under $3 & could feed two. They were nicely seasoned and crisp. On top of good food the service was great! Can't wait to visit again soon.

Ours don't look like the picture as the chilli looked burnt or something but it didn't look fresh. I tried a few and they were just okay. Philly was just okay too. Probably wouldn't stop here again. Reasonably priced thought IMO. Online ordering tacks on some fee too. 4 stars is being a bit generous but it's NYE!

After my issues at the hotel, it just seemed that I was meant to go to Mellow Mushroom. I had never seen the Mellow Mushroom Downtown as it blended into the larger building. I was greeted when I arrived and seated in the bar area. I don't like high top seating but with the March Madness game on that meant I could watch the second half. My waitress was friendly and let me remove a topping from my pizza as I hate onions. I think she was the manager and doing many jobs at the same time. The white pizza wasn't bad. It was a good size and I couldn't finish it all. I had a pineapple drink that I enjoyed too. I will keep Mellow Mushroom in mind the next time I need a bite to eat in Wilmington.

I had a couple of tasty cocktails such as an old fashioned and an orange-based liqueur cocktail. The food was also very tasty.

You can also catch a sports game here pretty easily with all the TVs. This place has a great staff, good food, and fun vibe. Definitely worth you checking out.

My wife and I went there when they had some of their burgers specials and to watch a game. They're veteran owned, have a ton of bourbon and a nice craft beer selection. I opted for the 1836 burger. Was a double patty with tomato, arugula, white American cheese and thousand island dressing served on a nice sesame bun. Tremendous burger, highly recommend. My wife took in some wings which she liked, did wish they were a little crunchier. Nice spot to take in downtown for food and a game, I'd return!

Their tagline is "Eat with Purpose," so I was happy to support them. The restaurant is inside Tide's Taproom which was a nice relaxed atmosphere with tons of space/tables, games and is kid-friendly. Ordering was easy with the QR code for both food and drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly and I sampled a few beers at the bar before deciding what to order. Our food came out pretty quickly and the staff member checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the double smash burger, fries, sweet potato fries, and cheese curds. Everything was really tasty! The cheese curds were square, which was different for me being from Wisco but they were still delicious. We had fun with the pool tables inside and basketball outside. It was such a great spot for our groups to hangout and have good food/drinks. Definitely worth checking out!

The burger itself was juicy and had a good flavor. One of the better burgers I've had honestly and you have a ton of toppings to choose from. My one bite score came out to a whopping 8.2/10 which is the 4th highest rated burger on my scale ever. The sweet potato wedges were amazing the cinnamon is the way to go! I was kind of disappointed with the sizing I ordered a large to split between the two of us and it wasn't enough. The 12 oz shake was amazing the only thing with that was it took forever. I was done with my food by the time the shake was done. It did look like they only have one shake machine so that could be why it took so long but the fact the I was done with my food before even seeing the shake was a bit crazy. The price of it all was a bit steep in the 40 some dollar range, but it was great. Also kinda in a random place but the vibes were great in there and the food was good I would say it is definitely worth the drive.
