    omelette with hash browns
    Betsy B.

    Libbys is a small restaurant but very clean and the staff were nice. I wouldn't say the food was fantastic as some have claimed but it was fine. The menu is limited but has breakfast, lunch and dinner items like sandwiches, omelettes, pancakes, salads. I had the omelette with cheese and veggies and my friend had the salad. The eggs were a bit undercooked but ok. It's a nice little place that was clean and comfortable. Prices were reasonable. It's fine for a quick basic meal.

    We wanted breakfast that would be good and quick. I also had a taste for pancakes. Libby's is local, affordable and tasty. A staple in Wilmington for as long as I can remember.

    French toast,  Turkey sausage, Turkey bacon, eggs, grits...THE WORKS!

    This place was great! There was 6 of us and we ordered a little of everything. We took longer to order than it took for the food to come out. We were so surprised that it came out that fast and everything was perfect. No one had a complaint. The only thing that surprised us more than the speedy service was the VERY low bill. Again, there was 6 of us and we ordered a LOT of food and the bill was under $60! We would DEFINITELY go back!

    No frills city diner. Great breakfast food, service was friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced. If you want to leave content and not have your wallet hurt, this is the place.

    Best breakfast in town! You can't go wrong with the Libby's special. I love their French toast, it's the perfect texture and has good flavor. They use really good turkey bacon. From their lunch menu, I've really enjoyed the crab cake sandwich. The service is also very friendly.

This restaurant was in walking distance from my hotel so my co workers and I tried it twice. Now our first visit, we were seated quickly but it took some time to finally have our drink orders taken. We had enough time to decide what we wanted before we were finally approached. The restaurant was busy and when we did finally get a server Dee. She was absolutely wonderful and a great server. She recommended different items and I have to say the Shrimp Tortellini and house's fresh garlic bread were delicious. It's also the reason I had to go back. So I went back to try the lobster Tuesday special. This time our server was Sara. She was awesome and very friendly as well. But it still took about an hr for us to get our food. But when it did finally come out the food was great. I am not sure the cooks in this place could go wrong. I had the fresh raw oysters and stuffed lobster. It was something out of this world. The restaurant is really nice and has plenty of seating and a full bar. They also have a great patio to enjoy along the water. If you are not in a rush and want some great food. Please stop in and get everything.

My wife and I ordered simple salads--nothing complicated--and it still took about an hour for the food to arrive. After we finished, our waitress disappeared and it took another 45 minutes just to get the check. At that point I was getting anxious because we needed to get back on the road. I even had to ask a busser to find our waitress. She apologized and mentioned she had a big party, but the issue wasn't just the check--it was the entire length and pace of the experience. The staff seemed nice, but the operation felt very disorganized, and the food itself wasn't particularly memorable. Unfortunately, we won't be rushing back

Keep going to the stop sign. When you're at the stop sign look across the street to the left and they're right there. I got lucky and found street parking right in front of their door. Walked in and they were packed. One tiny table open squashed between two others and the bar were my options so I sat at the bar. I try to pay cash at Mom & Pops place so they're not hammered by the credit card fees. They were low on change and recommending credit cards. I dug around in my pockets and found exact change. They were all out of pastries but one. I wanted to try their pasties de nada but all that was left was a croissant so I ordered it, along with their French toast and an oatmilk cappuccino. Turns out the croissant was already purchased by another patron who was going to have it after their meal. It hadn't been served yet. I received a refund. A couple showed up and sat at the bar as all the tables were full. Then someone else showed up and pointed at the seat I had my coat on saying they were told to sit there as it was the last seat open in the entire place. Packed. The French toast came out in good time but somehow my cappuccino got lost in the mix. It was immediately made and brought out. The French toast is as good as everyone says it is. Light, well filled, great flavor without being too sweet. I was trying to eat it all but had to stop 3/4 of the way as somehow it's filling. The cappuccino is also very good. I made the mistake of wanting to try them out at 11:45 on a holiday. 100% my bad. Considering there are only 3 people working the entire establishment, they did a great job. The food and drink were totally worth it and I will be back (at a less busy time)! *Quick add: I usually don't post while in the establishment but did here. Even with it being busy the owner came by to talk about the review and share a little about their business. They do evening events, private dinners. They also host guest chefs. Their goal is to elevate dishes, which is exactly what they did to the French toast. Based on this one breakfast I would definitely consider them for any function I was hosting in the area.

This is a lovely spot for a special occasion because they give you a giant sparkler for the guest of honor at the end of your meal. It's an intimate restaurant. I loved the unique lights at the tables that felt like taper candles. I'm not sure if it's because of what we ordered, but wait times were really long. It took about an hour for us to get our entrees. Thankfully we were in good company. And our party enjoyed their cocktails. We started with the brussels and cauliflower. This was beyond delicious. You have to order this as a starter. They had a quail special and monkfish special the evening we were there. The birthday girl ordered the quail. It took about an hour to arrive and came undercooked. Thankfully they were kind about cooking it more. I think she enjoyed it once she got to eat. Her husband got the pork chops. I shared the monkfish with a friend and really enjoyed it. We also got the seared tuna for the table and that was good too. Our waitress was super kind especially with the food hiccups. They have one gender neutral restroom stall. It has the prettiest wallpaper. We were stuffed by the time the dessert menus came out. Thankfully they still gave us a mini scoop of ice cream for the birthday girl with a sparkler. It was lots of fun. I think wait times were long for the specials and if we stuck to the regular menu things would've arrived faster. I'd go back to try more yummy food.

A few months ago I thought I'd found a decent place that was safe. As I entered I smelled a musty odor. I pushed past that and decided to give it a try anyway. I met Brian first and he was professionally courteous each time I was in contact with him. I met the owner Brian next. He was pretty much the same demeanor. There's a few other staff people there. I met Paige somewhere in between. On the date of December 02, 2025, I walked in and ordered my food. When it came time to settle the bill, Paige informed me that I was$ 2.00 short. I was embarrassed because I explained that I didn't have anything else in my account. She explained needing to pay her bills and making ends meet.I apologized profusely. A friend who was sitting next to me gave me a $20.00 bill to help me pay. He handed her the money. Paige waved him off. She was we needed to have a conversation about not paying and not tipping. She said her piece; I listened quietly.I couldn't believe that she was saying this in open proximity with other people in earshot. She also accused me of lying when I said I didn't have any more money left in my account. He then handed the money to me. I asked her for change she continued to say it's fine never mind. I still tried tipping her and she refused. I left determined not to repeat this again. I went back yesterday with cash so I could pay the bill and tip her adequately. The owners mother was visiting to pick up gift cards for her family. Paige came over at the end of the conversation and took my order. She delivered my food without incident. As I was going to pay, she says she's refusing me service for my failure to tip. I was shocked. I don't understand how a $2.00 issue became so inflated. I tried paying that bill and tipping her. She again refused the tip telling me to keep it. We never had any issues with me being rude to her. I just got up and left. I won't be returning for anything. I'm not loud. I try to be respectful of everyone. I really didn't appreciate her behavior. I feel the general public should know how she disrespects folks. They do not include tips in their pricing. Also they don't post signs about tipping being mandatory.
