    Brisket Mac & cheese
    Cori F.

    This was a recommendation from a local when I was in town for the marathon. The place was pretty packed but I sat at the bar and it was great. The staff were super nice and attentive. I got the brisket mac&cheese which came with a salad. I chose the Caesar. The salad was just find. The croutons were very hard. The Mac& cheese was hot with a decent taste, but some bites were a bit watery. The brisket was good, not great. The burgers and chicken sandwich looked really good but I only had the mac&cheese. If I went again I'd definitely try the lamb burger.

    It takes literally 100 years to get your order ready. We've been sitting here for more than 40 minutes waiting for our burgers to be ready. The salad is awful, and the vegetables are not fresh at all. The burgers are ok.

    MC Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Evelyn F.

    Took a recommendation from the doctor wonderful and attentive bartender, Bailey and ordered the MC Hot Chicken sandwich. The flavor combination was incredible. The portion was generous and shareable! I look forward to returning!

    If you're in downtown you have to visit this place. It's cute, has a great playlist, and our server Cameron was very attentive. He had good suggestions and was just as excited about the food as we were. We tried the texas poutine, brisket mac and cheese and cobb salad. Everything was delicious. We'll definitely be back :)

    BYO burger & roasted brussel sprouts & chicken salad sandwich with fries
    Dalida W.

    Was in town today & had a chance to stop in for lunch at one of our favorite downtown restaurants! As always...the food was delicious & the service was great! We had the chicken salad sandwich & a build your own burger with brussel sprouts. All so yummy

    Hay Dios Mio burger
    Manda S.

    Stopped in just as they were opening for lunch. Talk about a BURGER! Juicy, flavorful, thick, and any toppings that you could imagine! If you're in the mood for a tasty burger and crispy fries this is your spot. It's a small space - so evenings and weekends might have a wait, but it's worth it!

    Lamb Burger
    Clare C.

    Came here for dinner around 5:30 on a Sunday. We had to wait about 15 minute but the process was easy and quick. They took our name and texted us when our table was ready and we were able to see which number we were in line. The inside is quaint with a couple tables and bar seating with some tables outside as well. The menu has a bunch of appetizers, salads, burgers and different sandwiches. I ordered the lamb burger and I loved it. Fries were a little greasy and only came with a small side of ketchup. But the burger was really good. Loved the feta and the flavors were great. The burger was huge and very filling. Was able to bring some home for leftovers. Yum! Price was fair! A nice meal!

    Nice attention, great attitude and tasty food. Thanks so much, it was a sudden decision to visit this restaurant. I was literally walking down the street and you guys made my day!

    We loved this place. We visited last week while on vacay on Wilmington. The Wellington bites were awesome! What a fun tasty spin on Beef Wellington and the duck wings were fab too. Service was stellar, the young man with a big beautiful natural afro hairstyle was our server. He was great, made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make some fun drink choices, that would actually complement our meals.. (yay for Nowadays!!) We usually try to eat somewhere different every meal in Vacay. We ate here night 2. But every meal for the next 3 days, my husband would say we should go back to Fork n Cork.

    Hot Mess with macaroni & cheese
    Melody B.

    There's a reason this place was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives - it's simply amazing! It definitely is a dive with a small handful of tables and some bar seating. When my husband and I entered, an employee ushered us immediately to two open seats at a bar. Service was quick and friendly! We were in and out in an hour. I ordered the Hot Mess burger with an upgraded side of macaroni & cheese. Blue cheese belongs on burgers and this didn't disappoint! The mac & cheese was a great side too. My husband got The Big Lew with an upgraded side of onion rings (not pictured). The onion rings were breaded & fried the perfect amount. I loved this place and it should be a can't miss on your list in Wilmington!

    How is the chicken salad sandwich?

    I'm sorry, Beth S., but I've yet to try their chicken salad sandwich. Everything else I've had is beyond delicious with servings beyond copious. I do recommend calling ahead and asking how long it will be before a table is ready and leaving your… Read more

    Do they take reservations or call ahead seating?

    They do call ahead seating! They will take your phone number and text you when your table is ready. You just respond that you are otw and they will hold your table! I frequent Tavern Law for a quick drink when I'm waiting for my table. +1 (910)… Read more

    This place has been on my list for almost a year and it now has my little Italian heart…read more My daughter and I walked in around 1pm on a weekday, tried to wait until the lunch rush was over. It's spring break and azalea fest...so that worked out perfectly. We were greeted at the counter and the nice young gentleman asked if my daughter could have a cookie. Sure! Giant chocolate chips, so good. I ordered and they even offered me a coffee while I waited. I chose the Haley on a long roll. Nice crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, turkey, arugula and balsamic. Honestly, haven't had a hoagie that good in years. We also had their pasta salad, equally delicious. Plenty of seating inside, with a lot of cool photos on the walls. It felt just like being home. Can't wait to go back!

This is where Cousin's Deli won me over earlier today. I was lucky enough to take one of my old friends visiting the area for lunch and their menu is MASSIVE. Yes, they had all of your favorite deli sandwich classics but also offered a wide selection of healthier options such as the Trapani hot sandwich I ordered. Loaded with grilled chicken, veggies & pesto aioli, this meal absolutely satisfied all of my hunger needs and then some. It was so delicious, and was prepared extremely quick. I also wanted to mention the outdoor seating which concerned me at first as it is located beside a busy road, but I had no complaints for noise or busy traffic when out there. Overall, the meal was fantastic, the staff were extremely friendly and I'm honestly never meeting anyone for lunch anywhere else downtown, as this has instantly become my new favorite spot.

Chicken pita, enjoyed- fries on side. Philly cheesesteak with Caesar salad side- really liked. Owner is from Philly, which made a difference. Grilled chicken with side Cobb salad- lots of cheese and mushrooms and onions. Super delicious bread- soft with some flake since still crunch and not soggy. Salad was fresh and delicious.

    Parked in the small free parking lot (limited 2hrs? Per main website of skyline center)…read more It was a little hard to find the front entrance since there are multiple doors. There was a sign stand on the ground. Made a left at the sign and walked a few steps down and made a right when I reached the small tree/bush to the double door entrance. Skyline Cafe is essentially a duplicate of Brooklyn Cafe. Owner was nice and welcoming like my last experience at Brooklyn Cafe. There were small tables in the cafe itself and some chairs with personal tables joined to the chair by the front entrance. There were also a ton more tables around the corner but looked like it was a cafeteria/lunch break area, separate from the cafe. Coffee beans are organic from Hampstead. Wasn't a big fan of the coffee (had a drip) but I enjoyed the Ollie's donut (cake donut made with mashed potatoes) and cheese and jalapeño Kolache (Czech yeast pastry) with sour cream. Flavors of the donut included coconut, vanilla, chocolate, lemon. The donut was perfect to pair with coffee. The kolache was warmed up after ordering and was filling. There was a display case with to-go items such as Chobani Greek strawberry yogurt, coconut overnight oats with strawberry chia seed jam, dragonfruit chia seed pudding with coconut milk, and the Kitchen Sink sandwiches. Bathroom is down the hallway by the health clinic. No changing tables or high chairs.
