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

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!

First, the game selection, there is SO MANY. Their staff is there to explain any of the games and make suggestions which is very helpful. They are very knowledgeable & seem to know everything about every game. Second, the food and coffee served is really good. I got the basil hummus & avocado sandwich served with chips ($9) and the mugs o nugs with chipotle mayo and ranch ($6). Everything was presented well and tasty. I look forward to playing more games and trying more menu items, they also serve beer which could make for a fun game night. I will be making this a frequent stop and would recommend this place to anyone looking for something fun to do in Wilmington.

There's lots of room and tables and a wide selection of games available for anyone to play. They also have beer on tap. The staff is super friendly and every time I have gone have asked if we need any help with our game selection to make sure we understood all the rules. Pretty awesome if you aren't familiar. They all seem pretty well versed too. One star off, just for food. That being said, you're not going there for the food. If I could, I would only ding a half star but I can't and since they offer it, I have to incorporate it into scoring.

Our party was of 5 and each pie had 6 to 8 slices. Everything was cooked fresh. The cannolis the first trip were very fresh but they load up the cannoli with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup so it was disappointing to learn you can't ask for them to be fresh made without all the 'extra'. The first trip came to just under $100 though for the small pies and a cannoli. No drinks. Fast fwd to today, I was craving some pizza and my youngest wanted to get ice cream and I recalled they had a small gelato selection. I also figured I'd grab a couple of cannoli but I didn't recall them being $5.50 a piece!... it's been a hot min though but that was fine. Today, however, the cannoli shell was SO soft so I'm glad I decided to take a bite while waiting on the FUNGI pizza (which was phenomenal btw- delicious!!)... the cannoli tasted and was clearly old and as crazy as it sounds a little windexy. So I asked for replacement thinking for $12+ dessert I'm not sticking with a soggy dessert - the young man working was kind enough to offer to make new fresh ones for me including eliminating all the sugar powder and syrup. I thought that was nice. I do like the fungi pizza a lot and it's very tasty. Including the plain from first visit and the white pie. I think my issue with the restaurant is the pricing is incredibly high for pizza that doesn't always scream' best in the area' and it's not an 'Italian' business. They are from Turkey but they do a great job with the look and feel of Italy. But we're authentic Italians know what "buffalo mozz is" and what is in cannoli cream so while it's good tasting.. it's not exactly what we'd expect.
