Finally! After many years, we made it back to Copper Penny! On our return trip from Southport we…read morestopped in downtown to grab a bite before heading home. We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

Inside we a long and narrow, mostly large wooden booths and a large bar. Darker. Started with sodas, a beer, and the dragonfruit mimosa (I didn't wind up drinking/liking the flavor- but also didnt say anything as honestly know my taste better. Sharing feedback for others that it is on the sweeter side- which you may love). Buffalo chicken sandwich, sauce on side with fries. Enjoyed, typical but large sandwich. 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. Pork sandwich- my husband liked, it was good but I didn't love the meat flavor. Concepts with having spinach and such was great. Manager/owner(?) came by to each table too. Definitely worth a trip to explore- fresh ingredients. Next time the wings...

The staff were so friendly and helpful and made great recommendations for each of our tastes (one friend loves spicy and signed the waiver to try their hottest sauce and one person only does super mild in our group and both had fun). The hot sauce lover bought three bottles and some horseradish that clears sinuses. I got a butterscotch salty seasoning for popcorn and pork. I got a jalapeño butter seasoning for red meat that was delightful. My sister got the sweet and sassy (a sweet n sour sauce or Thai chili sauce). Another friend got the last bottle of the best seller bourbon barbecue sauce. It is so fun to stop in and do a tasting. Worth checking out even if you like mild flavors.

Not just the best butcher in Wilmington but one of the best I've ever been to. I don't know how…read morethey get such high quality cuts but just about everything I've tried there was amazing. But why I realize speak highly of it is the prices are so reasonable. Granted more than even the nicer supermarkets but way less than other high end butchers I've seen. The only thing I wouldn't recommend are some of the local frozen items. It's nice to offer things from area farms but they are expensive for frozen meats.

From venison to chicken to beef to sausage to vegetables, sauces, and spices, The Butcher's Market packs a lot of extraordinary into a smaller space. I picked up lemon pepper chicken, a pound of ground beef, tri tips, and a twice baked potato earlier this week. Made great tasty meatballs and combined a few with that deliciously huge twice baked potato. Saving the lemon pepper chicken and tri tips for when Mom visits. This place is definitely going on my monthly staples list.

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.

I can't believe this was my first time to the Fork and Cork after living in Wilmington for 7 years!…read moreThey had a full house on a late Saturday afternoon, so we sat at the bar where I had a delicious bloody Mary and the 'brisket biscuit' from the brunch menu.OMG, it was a perfect pairing with the cocktail. The bbq pulled beef over homemade biscuits was topped with a spectacular mustard sauce with two perfect eggs and a side of sweet potato waffle-fries sprinkled with cinnamon, cayenne, and sugar... You guessed it, I ate the whole thing! My husband had the beet salad topped with blackened chicken, which he raved about the whole time we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is small and cozy with a unique ambience, great service with a smile, quite loud, but worth the wait!
