The meatless options are also really delicious as is. We love their chips and potato salad for sides. Best grilled cheese for the price for little ones as well. A must go spot for elevated deli sandwiches in Wilmington.

Top tier sandwiches, what a wonderful find. This local sandwich shop is a bit out of the way from…read moredowntown but it's worth a short walk. I ordered chipped ham sandwich, it was loaded with meat and fillings. So juicy and delicious. Comes with a side of cucumber salad, chips or a pickle. I chose a salad and ngl the bite size portion of the salad is laughably small but it is what it is, I can't really complain as it was $9.50 total and it was delicious too. The only thing that was negative about our experience is smoke, the entire place was visibly smoky as if something got burnt, and we smelled like smoke hours after we left the shop. Hopefully this was a one off and not a permanent issue. I would for sure recommend this place if you're visiting!

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!

Like I said, Very loud. I ordered the Club Jax sandwich that came on Sourdough, I opted for the side of broccoli, and it came with their house pickels. This meal was So good! First, the sandwich was built fresh with a great selection of vegetables. The broccoli was outstanding, both tender with great seasoning, and the pickels were both crunchy and briny. Great menu selection, good prices, and fun atmosphere.

Tender, hot and flavorful, and quick for lunch I love that they roast their meats and bake their bread in house. They even make their own burgers. Definitely a gem.

My friend and I discovered this place recently. I overhead someone say (while in a nearby store)…read more"Cuban sandwich" and my ears perked up. So we dashed off to try out this place. Most of the tables were full. Lots of construction workers on their lunch break. By the time we finished giving our order, a table became available. We ordered the Cuban and a Reuben and split them between the two of us. The sandwiches were good, but not the best we've ever had. The pork in the Cuban seemed like deli meat, rather than a Cuban-style roasted pork. The Reuben wasn't your typical thick pile of meat. There are other choices on the menu, so we'll give this a try again.

The veggies were yummy with the quinoa and black beans. Had a taste of the chips on my companions lunch of bbq brisket sandwich. The chips were salty and very peppery. He said the sandwich was a little dry. We were the only ones in the cafe. The tables need to be cleaned to remove the stickiness that gets left behind when you only swipe a table with a cloth. They needed a good scrubbing. It was fine but whomever thought it was good as the Kitchen sink was crazy. It's much bigger than the Kitchen sink.

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.
