There was only one…read morepackage left so we decided to ask the guys at the meat department if they were able to cut us some more and they said yes to just pick out this specific cut of meat and it could be done. Great! We did so and waited roughly 10-15 minutes for the process, as expected. He handed me the now cut meat and while walking away, I noticed it wasn't really cut how the packaged one was cut at all. We shrugged it off and decided we could just make some cuts when we got home to fix it up a bit. However, when we got home they were cut horribly and so inconsistently that we would've been better off buying the large chunk of meat and cutting it at home ourselves. Asked for 3lbs of meat... after having to recut ourselves at home, we got maybe 1-1.5lbs.

They also have kombucha on tap if you are not a drinker. Plenty of options for entertainment such as board games, VYNYL records and in house events- follow their FB page for details. They also have a wonderful selection of beer and wine to go, mostly from local and N.C. brewers which is awesome. Did I mention they even DELIVER? Yep, give them a call and they will bring the party to you! We had amazing and welcoming service when we were there- felt like regulars instead of first timers. Be sure to say "hello" to resident dog Noelle- she's a real sweetie. To sum it up if you want a place with a chill vibe, no one screaming for "shots" and craft wine and beer WITH AC- be sure to check out Island Beverage..a great stop for your pre or post dinner drink at the nearby restaurants as well as a stand alone destination with their events. TIP- parking in this shopping center is a nightmare so feel free to utilize the free valet service by Micheal's- it is offered to all customers of all businesses in the shopping center.

Great selection,…read moregreat prices, everything is easy to find, and their staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I'd been here once years ago, and being back in town for a week, of course I had to stop by again, this time with my wife. It was even better than I'd remembered. They had lots of great wines, all arranged by varietal, easy to find. Their beer selection included something for every level of beer geek and then some, including single serves for those who wanna create their own six pack. They also have beer and wine accessories and cool gift ideas as well as gourmet chocolates. Needless to say, my lady and I left with a few very nice beer and wine selections. Truly the best bottle shop in Jacksonville! A must visit for beer geeks and wine connoisseurs in the area. Stop by and get yourself some!

Racism Has No Place -- Do Better, ABC Store…read more My recent visit to this ABC store was one of the most demeaning, infuriating experiences I've had in years. As my family and I -- the only people of color in the store -- entered, we noticed there were several other customers, some clearly much younger than my husband and me. Yet out of everyone there, this employee (Joe S) singled us out to demand identification. He watched us the entire time like we were criminals. When we approached the register, I handed over my driver's license without hesitation. But that wasn't enough -- he demanded to see my husband's ID too. When my husband questioned why, the employee got defensive and launched into a patronizing lecture: "Let me tell you how the law works in North Carolina." I had to cut him off and remind him that we LIVE in North Carolina -- we didn't need a lesson, we needed him to do his job and treat us with basic respect. No one else was questioned or treated the way he treated us. It's not about the ID, I totally understand that. It's the comment he made after he was provided with our identification and the fact that he DID NOT stop and question anyone else that entered the store after us. We were singled out. This was blatant racism. Point blank. Period. It's 2025 and there is absolutely NO PLACE for this kind of behavior in the United States. To the ABC store: Do better. Train your staff. Hold them accountable for treating all customers equally -- not just the ones they feel comfortable with. I sincerely hope no one else has to feel humiliated and targeted the way my family did that day.

This is located very centrally in downtown Wilmington and offers parking validation so don't be discouraged about the parking situation. There's a lot on the side you're free to use. We were seated right away on a weeknight and it was actually pretty full for being a weeknight. They have a good amount of space though. Millie was our server and she was a sweetheart. She was on it from start to finish. Checked in on us very regularly and provided above and beyond service. She contributed to our excellent experience. Fried chicken had to be ordered as it sounded so good and it definitely didn't disappoint. It comes with two sides and all of the sides were fresh. Portions were super hearty and generous. Chicken was fried to a crisp, in a good way!! The chicken sandwich was also great, but the fries are also very memorable, incredibly fresh. We were so surprised by how hot the food was in temperature, again in a good way. Everything was made to order. I loved that we were able to try this place out. I definitely recommend it and we will be thinking of the fried chicken for a long time!

Tl;dr - If you come here for their main event - chicken and fries - it's very good. Anything else,…read moredon't waste your time. Vegetarians need not bother. 3.5? I was not in love but I think there are some caveats there because I am not the typical customer. First, we appear to have come right at the height of their dinner rush. It took a while to get seated. The hosts told us to sit at the bar and then the bartender kicked us out of our stools because we were waiting for a table and apparently the bar stools were only for people who were eating, so we had to go find a bench. When we did get seated they put us at a really weird high top in a separate room when there was a much nicer low top available in the main room that we switched to. I got the sense both that this place was kind of hectic and that they didn't think they needed our service. But then as we were eating it cleared out all of a sudden and we were the only people left at like...8 pm. Our server was...accetptable. Not rude, but kind of short. Compared to the lovely personable service we got at other places in Wilmington it felt...I dunno, New Yorky? Then there was the food. And here comes my biggest caveat. I am pescstarian and do not eat chicken. So I ordered a shrimp po boy. It was not good. Not bad. But not good. Especially for the price which, honestly, competed with the prices where I live in DC. Every other person around me ordered chicken. My husband ordered chicken. He really liked his chicken. So obviously, this is a place where you get chicken (if the name didn't make it obvious). Had I ordered chicken I likely would have enjoyed my meal a lot more. But if you have shrimp po boys on the menu, endeavor to make them decent or take them off. Also I subbed a side cesar instead of fries and it was an afterthought. The fries themselves were excellent. If I ate chicken and came back to Wilmington I would maybe give this place another shot but as it stands, nah.
