The food i got

Food was so good that I ate SO much I vomited that night. Amazing service, great sandwiches and really good potatoes, I loved the vibe of the place in general. Would come again, 10/10

I thought this was a sit-down service place but you order your food and then the staff will bring it to you. I had the BLT with avocado and a small cup of chicken tortilla soup. My friend had the salad with grilled chicken. There was way too much bacon and not enough lettuce and tomatoes; and barely any avocado - just one small slice. I tasted mostly bacon. Who doesn't love bacon, but really, too much on the sandwich. My soup had very little chicken. I expected strips of tortillas in the soup but it came with a side of tortilla chips. It was also pretty thick, a little too much flour. My friend's salad looked great. We did get our food pretty quickly, so we didn't linger.

The dining table and napkin dispenser.

I got grossed out when I saw all the dust on my table and napkin dispenser. This place needs a good cleaning. I got actual dust in my mouth from grabbing a napkin and it flew on my food and everything. Yuck

I really enjoy McAlisters and have never had an issue here. I always try to get something new, my favorite item being the veggie spud. I went with a cheese spud and veggie chili. Everything was wonderful, my friend had the club sandwich and it was hearty! McAlisters is right by my work so I like to grab a quick lunch. It's always fast and has healthy options. I recommend!

We've been here for 20 years and just started going to McAlisters. Pretty good deli food. Reasonable pricing. A good lunch spot.

They put barely any meat on the sandwich. Was not worth the price at all. The quality has gone down so much

Finally made it to The Half. We had a day to roam around and took our son to lunch. We've been…read morewanting to try this place for a while. The Half is in a very old building repurposed into this amazing little sandwich shop. It's always great to see business leaders doing this. There's street parking and paid parking nearby. Be careful where you park as there are other businesses in the area with small signs posted (funeral home next door). Walking in you'll see the main counter and register with tables and bar area on both sides as you approach the register. We were greeted as we picked up the menus. After a few minutes we ordered our sandwiches and requested cups for water. They have a self serve water machine toward the back of the restaurant before you reach the restroom. Once you order they provide you with a small number card for your table. After a short wait our chips and sandwiches were brought to us. The sandwiches are wrapped in brown paper which we thought was great. The sandwiches are fairly big with a lot of ingredients. I ordered The Tucker. Turkey with a variety of vegetables. The grilled bread was tasty and accented the turkey, lettuce, and various other vegetables with a nice red sauce. While enjoying our meal there was a steady flow of customers for dine in and to go. For good reason. The food was great and the restaurant itself was nice and comfortable. Wife and son definitely enjoyed their sandwiches as well. Highly recommend trying The Half. We will definitely return to enjoy another incredible sandwich here.

Sandwiches are delicious. Made fresh and great service…read more It's small and there is some bar seating. Wait staff was very friendly.

Rainy days sometimes make the food decision for you, and Italian Wedding Soup was absolutely the…read moreright call at Kitchen Sink. The soup was excellent--warm, hearty and packed with greens, pasta and meatballs. Exactly the kind of comfort-food bowl you want when it's gray and raining outside. I paired it with a sandwich, which was a great complement to the soup, but I have to give some love to the homemade chips too. Crispy, well seasoned and much better than throwing a bag of chips on the side and calling it a day. Overall, this was one of those simple meals that just works: good sandwich, great soup, homemade chips and perfect timing with the Wilmington weather. Sometimes you don't need fancy. You just need the right food on the right day. Kitchen Sink delivered.

This place is super cute and cozy, you order at the register and they bring you your food. We went on a weekend and there was ample seating. The food is FRESH! Everything tasted so yummy. They have a nice variety of sandwiches - cold, warm, spicy. I personally had the BAD chicken biscuits which was the best of all worlds. Spicy hot chicken and fresh flaky biscuits. Their fries are also great. Regular alone are delicious but the Parmesan fries take them up a level. I think chips are the standard side but you can do a premium side for an upcharge. Staff was very friendly and overall this is a very solid place. They also have specials so be sure to check those out too!

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.

Fantastic Food, Half-Price Wine, and Great Service!…read more A girlfriend was in town visiting, so a few of us decided to get together for dinner. We all participate in the AAdvantage Dining program and decided to choose a restaurant where we could earn some extra miles. I already love Commodore Public House, so it was an easy choice! We went on a Wednesday, which happens to be half-price wine night! Both bottles and individual glasses are half off, which was perfect because we could each order whatever wine we wanted. I ordered my favorite birria French dip sandwich, which is always delicious. One friend ordered the pickles and a side of sweet potato fries, which was an incredibly generous portion. Another friend ordered the Cajun garlic wings with a side of fries. Now, those wings were the surprise of the evening! I tried one and was blown away by how good it was. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and not spicy at all, which is a huge plus for someone like me who is a complete wimp when it comes to spicy food! They were so delicious that I'm absolutely ordering them the next time I visit. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the owner even stopped by our table to check on us, which was a really nice touch. Between the delicious food, wonderful service, and half-price wine, it was a fantastic evening catching up with friends. Commodore Public House continues to be one of my favorites, and now I have a new menu item to look forward to ordering next time!
