    This used to be one of our go-to places, but they dipped quite a bit for quite a while, so we gave up. After looking at recent reviews, we decided to give them another chance. I love that their menu is simple (not boring), diverse, and affordable. The employees are friendly and seem to be content working there. The food was better than the last time we ate there, but not as great as it once was. I had shrimp tacos with a side of mango salad. The tacos were good and definitely worth the price; the mango salad would have been great if the mango had been ripe. We ordered a kid's burger for our granddaughter, and it wasn't that good. The side fruit salad, which she wanted, was all cantaloupe. Kids love grapes - throw some in there! My husband ordered panini and he said it was great. We do love the vibe of the place. Chill and not too loud.

    We stopped by Blue Surf on a rainy Friday for lunch. The menu is up on blackboards over the checkout counter. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table. All of the servers were really nice and helpful with our dietary restrictions. They have gluten free bread and are knowledgeable about eliminating dairy. We had the turkey Brie sandwich (no Brie) on gluten free bread with the marinated chickpeas (no feta) as a side and the mahi mahi sandwich with salt and pepper chips on the side. Everything was delicious. Our coffee and peanut butter hot chocolate (almond milk) were incredible. The vibe is beachy casual with wooden benches and metal chairs at tables. There are also some high top tables and a few smaller tables for two. The bathrooms are gendered with a couple of stalls. The layout is fairly accessible for mobility devices.

    Absolutely delicious! I beat the rush and got here early Saturday morning and I was very impressed! The staff was so kind and the food came out very fast. I had the ham, egg, and provolone on a plain bagel and it was amazing. The atmosphere was so homey and welcoming and I really enjoyed eating here. It was very close to the hotel I was staying at which was super convenient. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

    Main counter & menus

    Wonderfully made sandwiches with fresh tasting ingredients. The turkey brie, in addition to the titled ingredients included apple butter & argula on toasted multigrain bread and was fantastic. My wife had the turkey cubano and really enjoyed it. Nice ambiance and friendly staff made for a lovely meal.

    So you're dropping off a wallet-draining tuition investment at UNCW on a weekend when every hotel room and Ayer Bee an' Bee is booked solid six months in advance. You want breakfast, but the Boysenberry Brunch Cafe has 253 people in the queue. You get Donkin' every week so what's a group to do? Blue Surf could be the answer. Tucked in a nondescript strip center behind an auto dealer is where you'll find a fast serving, friendly staffed, quick service restaurant with inside-and-outside seating. You might run into a retiree's group on a Saturday but don't worry - ordering is counter service and the kitchen is fast. Staff run your orders to your table so your only task is to doctor your fresh coffee or nurse your selection from the bar. We end up returning here over and over as the fare is fresh and generous. Breakfast bowls and plates are Southern or Southwest inspired. Biscuits are large and bacon thick-sliced and properly crisp. There are lunch sandwiches from noon-on and this location also does dinner service until 9pm. Buttermilk Maple Bacon waffles came covered in chunks of caramelized goodness and were stout enough to support good doses of syrup. Eggs are cooked to order and delicious. The only area of improvement are their grits which tend to be a bit dark, overdry and peppery. If you mix an over easy fried egg in with them, they are much better. Dress is casual (no Salt Life or Vinyard Vines required). This is a great alternative to expensive and crowded brunch places, but don't tell anyone l told you - we don't want them toooo busy ;) Your wallet will thank you later.

    Havana Bowl

    Service was quick and friendly! Healthy options on the menu, in addition to classic favorites with a twist. Outdoor seating available. The inside has kind of a warehouse feel to it, so it echos a bit. Food was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend the chickpeas... lemony vinaigrette with feta and cilantro. Cuba o was toasty nicely and the pork is flavorful. The Havana Bowl is DEE-LICIOUS. The grits are creamy and the was banging, per my husband

    Meatloaf sandwich

    The food was delicious! We also appreciate the service and kind staff. We had been turned off by the other location(now closed) but I got my husband to agree to try this again and we were very pleased! My favorite is the meatloaf sandwich and my husband loved the cornbread and sweet potatoes.

    Good food, good service. Really good Cubano. Wish they had grits on the weekdays. Busy on the weekends but worth the brief wait in line.

    The meatloaf sandwich is as good as it gets. The staff was very helpful. I wish they had sodas on draft instead of bottle.

    Grinders is a local coffee shop that has a slightly alternative, counter culture, artsy feel. The…read moremusic varies and today included George Michael and David Bowie. The customer service is excellent and the baristas have gotten to know me and provide recommendations for new things to try based on what I have had in the past. The shakes, iced coffee, and lotus energy drinks are great. The shop provides seating outside and inside. There is one bathroom that is kept clean. Overall, the shop is very clean. Iced coffee and regular refills are $0.50. The baristas have made an effort for me to know their names, as well and many have helped create a great environment through great conversations. The only note, which many customers would likely agree, is that the aesthetically pleasing menu can be a bit overwhelming at first glance due to the many options. But, once you take it in, you can find what you are looking for to order. If you can't, the baristas will be happy to help make something that is amazing for you. There is also a roll the dice game that helps create a beverage for you, as well. All in all, Grinders is a great place to get caffeinated, socialize with others, and get work done.

    This local coffee shop in Wilmington has an amazing selection of drinks to choose from. Not just…read morecoffee either, they also offer milkshakes and smoothies as well with many unique options and takes on classic choices. The barista was super nice and was willing to customize my drink for me which was very generous. The space inside was beautiful and offered a generous amount of seating as well as free Wi-Fi. The decorations were also very novel and the cafe has an opening door that connects to the next door shop during business hours!
