This place was highly recommended for me to try out and I finally went good energy environment, friendly staff and the owner Corey down to earth. I would say get any thing on the menu but my favorite item was and is the OMG fish sandwich it's deep fried fish topped with Cole slaw, famous thyme sauce, crispy pickles with a toasted brioche bun. read more

Been wanting to come here for a long time , been following them on tik tok for quite some time and we finally made, and they understood the assignment . I love the deco, very inviting vibes, good music and available seating. They had plenty of seating to choose from and a full bar. My son ordered a non alcoholic margarita and it was really good, I had a strawberry kool aid and it was sweet but not too sweet. The Philly cheesesteak eggs and OMG! The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were packed with flavor, they were juicy and cooked perfectly. My son orders a shrimp burger and it was fantastic I orders a burger it was big and flavorful. The price was good for the amount of food you got! Service was awesome and when in Wilmington again, we'll be back! read more

Tried On Thyme today and it did not disappoint! I got the fried shrimp and wings with fries and oh my goodness the food was delicious. Even picking up my food as a takeout order and driving it 20 mins home the fries were still crispy, the wings were cooked perfectly, and my favorite was the shrimp with the best dipping sauce ever. Also the staff were all so so nice and on top of everything. Thank you On Thyme for over delivering on my expectations. read more

After having read so many rave reviews on the food, we expected it to be great, and it was. The Shrimp and Fish basket was perfectly prepared and huge! The Cajun Shrimp Po Boy was well seasoned with a generous amount of shrimp. What we didn't expect was the great bar service. Special shout out to Jevaughn - friendliest and most competent bartender we've had in a long time. Go there. You won't be disappointed! read more

Hannah @ the bar was awesome. I came in for Togo food but had a martini while waiting at the bar. She handled the outdoor customers & indoor customers with pleasure & ease. Was recommended this place for food before we left town, glad I stopped in! There's nothing like some delicious fried fish & chicken! Place was a 10/10 vibe & we def be back! read more

Finally made it to the viral restaurant in Wilmington - On Thyme. And it was, well - right on time. I had to get it to go because I was on the road but the ambiance is upbeat and soulful with good music and beautiful murals throughout. There's a wall of black greats behind the bar that's stunning. There's indoor and out door seating and a small stage with couches and tables outside. Now to the food - I got the viral Philly steak egg rolls. They were huge and lasted for 3 days. They were juicy and filled with meat and cheese. You get 6 and they are really filling. Definitely enough for 2 to share. I also had the shrimp and teriyaki style wings that came with fries. All the food was good and hot. I will definitely be making a return trip when I'm in the area. Service was great as well. The order took a minute but it's made to order so that takes time. This place stays busy so get there early. So glad I gave it a try and can't wait to try other menu items. On Thyme is right on time. read more

On Thyme was a great little adventure. Awesome, fried shrimp fish and mushrooms. None of the fried foods sat under a heat lamp. Piping hot direct from the deep fryer. With jazz music as our background a great place to enjoy a mid day lunch hour. You walk in shown a seat and handed a plastic coat short menu, a second menu has meal deals of the day. You then go to the cashier and place your order and pay. My wife and I split the fish, shrimp and fries plate. With fried mushrooms as an appetizer. All the food was served hot from the deep fryer. No, heat lamps used here. They do not have cocktail sauce, but the thyme sauce served with the fried fish and shrimp did not disappoint. It really worked with the dip used on the fried foods. The ranch worked as well with the fried mushrooms. Would return when visiting the area again. read more

Delicious! The wait can be long depending on what time you go but that's only bc this place is so good. Well worth the wait each time I went. The menu isn't huge and your food gets to you hot and fresh every time. Got the it takes two app and the fish sandwich. One of the best meals I've had in ILM so far. Chill, casual ambiance. read more

Southern, soul, comfort food. The egg rolls are a MUST! The best we've ever had! The shrimp burger was like a po-boy with delicious, golden fried shrimp. And the fried fish was flaky + crispy. The vibe here is chill with a mixture of Hip+Hop and R&B playing in the background. Ohhh...lemme not leave out the SWEET tea.... perfect for these southern dishes. read more

Food was very good, however the queso fries were missing the crab and queso. The shrimp was fantastic and the atmosphere was wonderful with great service. We waited a little longer than expected, around 30 minutes. The prices were reasonable and overall it was a fun way to spend a Friday night. read more

Friendly staff and delicious food. I ordered the OMG Fish Sandwich with a side salad. While the sandwich was a little light on coleslaw, the fried fish was well seasoned and freshly prepared. The salad was larger than I expected with a nice mix of greens and ripe tomatoes. Space was a little noisy, but I enjoyed the music. read more

Hell yeah I recommend On Thyme! Came here with my boyfriend on a Friday night - ordered the egg rolls and wings. I hadn't had a bone-in wing in years (it's a mental thing), but man did I eat those up. We loved it so much we DoorDashed like 3 separate orders the following day. I would say bone in is better than boneless but both are great. You cannot go wrong with any flavor. All the employees are kind, attentive, quick, and hard working. They serve a crowd and they do it quickly while also doing it right and making sure customers are happy. Parking available on the street. Looks like they're redoing the outside area for more future seating. Inside is small and tight but it makes it that much more enjoyable. I cannot wait to go back. Oh, and if you don't follow them on Instagram, you need to do that too!! read more

Great neighborhood cafe, with amazing tastes and a kitchen with tons of surprises, all of them good. Lots of seating in and out on pleasant days but enough inside seating on rainy days. A host seats you and then you order and pay at the counter. Servers then deliver to you so once you order just set back and relax. There are daily specials but I would urge you to try the Cajun shrimp po-boy. It has layers of flavor down to the fresh shrimp. The bread is grilled and holds up well to the shrimp, special sauce, lettuce and tomato. read more

I saw a couple of YouTube videos and Instagram posts about this restaurant so I thought that I would try it out. The food was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the egg rolls and the omg fish sandwich. The flavors were definitely there! My husband and I also met the owner. He was really nice and took the time to come and speak with us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if ever you are in the Wilmington area. read more

We drove an hour to visit this location, based on hilarious IG posts. I'm glad we did, as it was a pleasant experience. It's a smaller space than I expected, and it was too cold to sit outside. I understand that they've expanded since we visited. The food met all of our expectations. We had the sampler, wings, and the chicken sandwich. Everything was tasty and well-seasoned. I love the personalized tables and ambiance. It was late, within an hour of closing, and people were still coming in, but they did not rush them. Staff told the customers what was still available and seated them as though they were family. I would definitely recommend. read more

I value customer service at an all high time and let me tell you OTR's handles business. From the cashier (Hannah) to the staff helping, greeting and showing people what and how they operate when it was their 1st time I appreciate it! It does not go unnoticed, not let's get to the food I put this on my mamma, I'm happy this establishment isn't where we I've as I would be there weekly or maybe daily.... We ordered a It Takes Teo because I really wanted to try the egg rolls, however really wanted some wings and wanted to check out the shrimp. I definitely should have just ordered the platter but being a Louisiana and having a Shrimp Po-boy I had too. Both the It Takes Two and Shrimp Po-Boy was delish, I would definitely come back however I think I would preferred to just order wings as that Honey Hot sauce was legit! My daughter ordered the Chicken sandwich and she said it was delish. The vibe is laid back with some early 2000's music playing in the back ground making you nod your head as in man I haven't heard this song in years, definitely will be bringing the entire family back 10/10 worth the drive! read more

Couldn't recommend enough! Husband and I had the fish and shrimp basket, surf and turf burger. Perfectly fried shrimp- I'd eat bucket loads of just the shrimp it's that good. I love my tartar sauce with fried flounder, however I'd ditch it for their house sauce. Service is great, quick, friendly. Atmosphere is energetic and love that it's grab a menu order and sit wherever. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger and fried okra. It was very reasonable and I was excited to try it. I cannot even begin to tell you how delicious the burger was. The one I got was just a regular cheeseburger, too (not even a fancy one). The okra was also great. Very impressed! read more

On Thyme Restaurant - Cheeseburger and fried okra - Seafood Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Service was fine, it's a loud environment for sure, we got the Philly egg rolls which were huge they were okay but they just come in a basket with no plates so the filling ends up everywhere. My son's burger was a 4, the rolls were a 3, the lemon pepper wings with shrimp were a 4. read more

The flavor of the castle burger was good. But... Both patties were small (close to 2.5 inches in width) which meant they were in the center of the bun. So you end up having several bites before you reach the meat (a bunwhich). There wasn't much ventilation so we came out smelling like fried food. The music was great but loud so it's hard to have a conversation. read more

Discovered this treat of a restaurant while on a college tour of UNCW with my son. It was wonderful and can't wait to visit again! Everyone was so friendly from the minute we walked in until we left. The fried fish and shrimp was amazing! As were the hush puppies and their special sauce. YUM! Don't forget the banana pudding in the jar! Stellar! I really appreciated the interior design of the space too! Someone did a GREAT job designing! 10/10 across the board! read more

Spot on previous reviews. Great fried whiting fish sandwich. Brioche bun complemented it perfectly. My wife got the smash burger and thought it rivaled among the best in Wilmington. Services was quite attentive and several even waived goodbye upon leaving. Would be 5-star if only they had beer to go with the lunch. Will absolutely return. read more

Truly a hidden gem! Thanks to tik tok we found this place and let me tell you it's definitely worth it. We ordered the philly cheese steak egg rolls, shrimp po boys and shrimp & wings. Everything was delicious from starter to entrees. Will be back! 5 stars!?! read more

Visiting from Atlanta and i wish they had this there! Food was amazing! Everything was great. Favorites were the egg rolls, hot lemon wings, and surprisingly the hush puppies were amazing. Service was fast and food came out quickly. We got there at a good time because when we were leaving the line started to form because as of now there isn't a lot of seating but they expanding with an outdoor area which is going to be nice. The overall vibe of the restaurant is what this is all about. Really enjoyed everything. Looking forward to coming back to trying some more things on the menu! read more

I can't say enough good things about On Thyme! I went in for lunch and decided to try the lunch special. the crab cakes and shrimp platter which came with a TON of fried shrimp, lots of fresh fries, and a bunch of crab cakes. Everything was super delicious! The crab cakes were super full of crab, not just filler. The fried shrimp is always amazing. Then I had to also order the Philly egg rolls because they are the most delicious thing ever. The team working is super nice always, and I love getting food from On Thyme. read more

I can't fault this place on anything, so it gets a 5. They have a good sanitation rating, 97.5, friendly employees, good prices, and really, really tasty food!! Their outdoor area is the place to eat! It's huge for this area of town, and they have fans everywhere to help with the heat and the flies. The inside is small and dark, but it's fine. The hot honey chicken sandwich was so damn good! I know it's going to be one I crave. The flavor was spot on, the breading delicious, and it was cooked perfectly! The fish sandwich also had a great breading and flavor. It's a good thing this place isn't too close to me because I'd be there often. read more

The menu and staff are pretty solid all around, but they DESPERATELY need to change their fryer oil more frequently. Something needs to happen because the food is starting to suffer and as a seasoned restaurant worker (with plenty of experience working a fryer) the quality of food varies significantly each time I order, and I can tell its the fryer. They either need to stop stretching the life of the oil, or they need to clean the equipment better. Its unfortunate for a place I've come to love. read more

Delicious! The food was made fresh to order, and delivered steaming. I had the shrimp po-boy. My husband had the boneless buffalo wings. Both were really good, but the jewel in their crown was definitely the oxtail egg rolls. They were mouthwateringly flavorful and crispy. Don't get over eager. Let them sit for a moment. The roof of your mouth will thank you. We were there at lunch on a Thursday. It was definitely the place to be. They were busy! Service was excellent though. Even with a crowded line at the counter and to go orders being picked up constantly, the staff still made time to circulate through to check on the customers. We had a great experience. 10 out of 10, highly recommend. read more

First time! 10/10 XP! Staff was fast, friendly, pro-Pali! And the food was great. Me and my plus one ordered 10 wings each, I got the Hot Peach- which was the Thyme flavor I guess they rotate the flavor- and she got the Hot Lemon. My wings were delicious and she destroyed her plate. Yay. I will be bringing my mom next week. The vibe of the joint was friendly and neighborhood like. Lots of couples, families, and friends grubbin down. Oh we also copped desserts and local sweet teas. Both really good as well. read more
