A domestic beer is defined as a beer made domestically within the United States, yet for some reason when I order anything other than a miller lite, bud lite, or coors I'm charged the regular rate? Why is blue moon (brewed in Golden, CO) not considered a domestic beer? Why is Mango Cart (brewed in SoCal) not considered a domestic beer? I've ordered these both multiple times and have been charged full price, I've even explained to the server why it makes no sense, in fact, they're actually losing tips as I'd paid with a 5$ bill but instead of tipping 2$ on top of a 3$ beer, they only got 1$ from a 4 dollar beer. Everything about this place is better than perfect but it's hard to defend them with this reoccurring issue!

I've been a regular at Junction 421 for quite some time now, and each visit continues to be a delightful experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and simply charming, setting the perfect stage for a wonderful dining experience. The food at Junction 421 is consistently good, and I've never been disappointed with any dish I've tried. It's evident that the kitchen takes pride in their craft, as the flavors are always on point, and the presentation is top-notch. My wife and I make it a point to have our date nights at Junction 421 at least once a month, and it never fails to impress. The owner's attention to detail is truly commendable. Not only does he ensure the atmosphere is welcoming, but he also takes the time to check in with all customers, making sure the service and food are tailored to your liking. It's this personalized touch that sets Junction 421 apart. The owner's genuine concern for customer satisfaction creates a special connection that goes beyond just a meal. The dedication to providing a consistently excellent experience makes Junction 421 our go-to spot for a memorable evening. If you're looking for a restaurant that combines a great atmosphere, consistently good food, and attentive service, Junction 421 is the place to be. Kudos to the entire team for creating such a gem in our community! read more

Shay served us and was a pleasure to talk to. Service was quick and thorough and we had many side conversations to add to the experience. Been here many times and always happy with their dishes. One of few places that gets pretty creative with their menu and the ingredients are always high quality. Had an incredible brunch today, got the chicken biscuits and sausage gravy and then got the bananas foster French toast. Neither are things I usually order, but just had a craving for epic amounts of food. The sausage gravy is definitely made from scratch and they know how to bread some chicken. The chicken is definitely the focus and quite a good portion but I really wanted a well seasoned gravy with quality sausage and certainly wasn't disappointed. If you're a sweets type, that French toast has a lot going on and the fosters flavor really comes through. Couldn't finish it, but if you can then you're more a man than I am. The French toast sat on a dense bread pudding like portion surrounded by bananas foster and syrup. Bacon came as a side and was fresh sourced, cooked just right and without that overly salted Cheney Bros BS. As always, I'll come back and order some of the many good appetizers they have or a burger which they do right. read more

What a great addition to Monkey Junction! Went to check it out a couple weeks ago and we've been back quite a few times! Whether you sit in the main dining room, the bar or in one of the plush blue booths in the back room... it's a wonderful experience. The servers and bartenders are warm and knowledgeable. And the food.. everything we've tried has been great! You can get anything from some killer "pulled pork" nachos, flatbread pizzas, burgers (even a vegan one!), to a gigantic "Baja Salad" and "Prime Rib" - Saturdays Blue Plate Special (and, yes they have a different one every night of the week). Top it off with the "warm cookie and brownie-bake" that is to die for. Not to mention they have so many local and regional beers AND spirits (who knew)! And tons of drink specials. This has definitely become one of our go to places not only in Monkey Junction, but all of Wilmington! read more

We have been to Junction 421 numerous times now and each time is superb. Tonight was no different. The service by Brandon our server was top notch. He was busy and I understand why! He is great. Always making sure you had refills and making sure you didn't need anything. He was pretty funny too! The quality of the food has always been superb! I rate and compare the Italian cuisine we had tonight 5 stars to any high end Italian restaurant in the area. The owner ALWAYS stands out by welcoming his customers at their tables making conversation and making sure everything is as it should be. I'm not sure how he does it but he will remember his guests too! You can tell his passion for his restaurant.

We even went to the owner/manager Johnathan and told him how pleased we were having her as our wait person. And that she was an assist to his team.

I've had their Cuban several times and can honestly say it is the best I've had anywhere north of Little Cuba in Miami. Randy told me that he learned from a chef in Miami and continues to follow what he learned with every sandwich. The choices on the menu are varied, and I don't think it is possible to leave there hungry. A selection of beer and wine is available, as well as the usual soft drinks. The seating arrangement provides plenty of space between tables; they also have different games for you to play when you are not eating (a nice touch to keep the kiddos busy).

The name Foxes Boxes showed enthusiasm and creativity which digs right down to the serving of the meal with boxes, utensils etc. Love the way they present the meals. The first visit, after they had been open for a short time, was pretty stellar. The portions, while smaller than expected for the price, were well executed. We all felt the meal was thoughtful and locally sourced. However quickly became evident that the stress of a family-owned joint was already wearing on the chef as each time we visited...the quality began to drop off. Flavors not as rich and blended as before, marinades weak, and portions seemed to shrink even more. Which, for the price and simplicity of the food needed to stay right there on top. I am hoping that they just hit a little dip and spring back, because the ethos and community support shown on their Facebook page makes me happy. Their family and website shows a much needed vitality, social consciousness and spirited renegade thinking. It is this spirit that will encourage me and my friends to visit again in the future.

The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!

They have a pasta special of the day and the server let me know it was a Cajun Alfredo that you could add a catch of the day (at the time salmon, grouper', and swordfish.). I chose the Cajun Alfredo with Salmon. I was a little disappointed because the Alfredo wasn't seasoned like Cajun, but neither was the Salmon. The Salmon was done well but it wasn't Cajun, really just felt like salt and pepper. The Alfredo itself needed some extra pepper as well. I give it 3 stars because I do think getting just the catch of the day special would be delicious, maybe my dish just wasn't the best.

Good burger, the wings smelled awesome, great taps, but they are a little short on staff, however, I never felt ignored. DOG FRIENDLY ON THE PATIO.

I should have listened to my last review. It really isn't that hard to make pierogies so I don't understand how they could mess these up so bad. The best part was the fried onions. Do not order these if you are actually wanting a good Pierogie.
