So this was a completely random stop for food. I went for a drive and just took a couple random…read moreturn that put me on SR22 and about 45 minutes goes by and I am in Wilmington. I did a quick search and turned to go to Trail Haus. I parked and walked in and asked for options since I had never eaten here. The young lady behind the counter gave me several options and I chose the "Dagwood" and a water with potato salad vs potato chips. I sad down at the counter. And about 5 or so minutes went by for the huge sandwich and potato salad came out. The sandwich was very tasty and I will say a yummy Dagwood. Now me personally I am not a fan of dill so the potato salad wasn't my favorite sadly. It was still good but again. I don't like dill and it had dill so if like me choose something else. Again the sandwich was huge and I took half home and ate it the next day and it was still very yummy. I would gladly order this again. The place was very clean including the bathroom. Everyone on staff seemed very polite. I would gladly come back and I recommend this location if you are in the area. There is also a bicycle shop attached so if riding a bike trail or needing something new, I am sure they will take care of you while you enjoy a yummy meal.

Great food and service…read more The restaurant is new and modern. It is connected to a bike shop and right along the bike trail. The menu has a good selection with the counter having signs about many specials. Everything is fresh and creative. They do not have kids meals so I ordered bubba cakes for the kids to share. They loved the pancakes and it came with bacon. My husband tried the chili and it comes with a side of cornbread.

Not as quiet and peaceful as mentioned in other's experiences here. But I got mine to go so it doesn't matter. The place was busy so it took a little while to receive my order. The younger ones are handling the service. I am pretty sure that you have to get your own, after you placed and paid for your order, if sitting in. I will say I ended up getting three paid for scones, but NOT the two that I had originally ordered. I guess they didn't really listen too well. On the positive side the scones were very fresh and tasted delicious. They told me for optimal taste to heat them up in the microwave for 30 seconds on high (too long). I probably would come back, we're visiting the area from out of town for an event.

South Street, Wilmington, Ohio (937) 366-6220 Website: https://theblackbirdwilmington.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577050103184 0600 - 3pm - Daily I'm always on the hunt for locally owned and operated places to support -- mostly because chain restaurants make me feel like I'm eating the same corporate dream in every town. #OverPricedUnderRated A longtime friend and BaldWhiteGuy supporter, Chris Georges, suggested the Black Bird. So I did what any responsible, waffle-motivated adult would do: I Googled it, packed the princess (my child, not royalty), and drove 27 minutes into the wilds of Wilmington for breakfast. I've got a long, complicated love affair with Wilmington -- R&L trucking memories, pay-lake fishing , horse shows, drive-in dates with a adorable dimpled accomplice, and pizza from a hole-in-the-wall called Generations Pizzeria, back before they went all boogie and built a real restaurant. #LongTimeSupporter. Somehow, The Black Bird flew under my radar. July 9, 2025, The new kid on the block, but already serving up breakfast like it's been doing it for decades. We rolled in on a day when Mother Nature decided to audition for a snow catastrophe. School canceled, and me coming off a 20-call shift with a five-hour fire standby -- so yes, I was hangry and exhausted. #ShowMeCoffeeandBacon The Black Bird's parking lot had room, the staff waved us in, and we were told to sit wherever we liked. I considered the window seat for the ambiance, then remembered the car thermometer read "well below zero" and chose survival over Instagram lighting. Good call -- the corner booth on the opposite side of the restaurant was cold, the window seats were colder, I'm sure. Service was prompt. Water for the princess, black coffee and water for me -- because coffee is a personality trait. The menu is a delightful problem: too many good choices. I solved this like a rational adult by ordering the dish that crams the most breakfast joy onto one plate. #MostImportantMeal #HealthyBoy I ordered the Two Birds Platter - 2 eggs over-easy, bacon, a waffle, and wheat toast. * Eggs: Perfectly cooked. Not a puddle of yolk, not a hockey puck. Just right. Hats off to the chef. * Bacon: I'm normally a "slightly underdone, floppy bacon" guy, but this was crispy in the best way -- not burnt, just proud. Definitely sandwich-worthy. #maybenexttime * Wheat Toast: Salted butter, golden brown, the kind of toast that makes you consider buying a toaster with feelings. * Waffle: The reason I drove 27 minutes. Warm, slightly sugary crunch on the outside, fluffy inside. If waffles had fan clubs, this one would be president. The Two Birds Platter was delicious and filling. Highly recommended. The princess went with French toast plus a side of bacon. Three thick slices of Texas-toast-style bread, perfectly cooked, topped with a berry compote that tasted like summer and probably a small sin against your A1C. #Diabetes #WilfordBrimley She couldn't finish it (too much food? impossible), so I heroically sampled. Verdict: wonderful. Staff kept my coffee above the half-cup threshold -- a service-level I judge all restaurants by. If your coffee dips below half, you're playing with my emotions (and your tip). Let's talk price * Two Birds Platter -- $11.00 -- Incredible value. Plenty of food. I left full and happy. * French Toast -- $11.00 -- Fair and generous portions * Side of Bacon -- $4.00 -- Two slices for four bucks? Either that pig was raised on caviar or someone's tipping the bacon farmer. Pricey, but tasty. * Coffee -- $3.00 -- Hot, and delicious. Kept my cup full and offered a to go cup (great touch). They asked small or big. I said big. They delivered a cup that could power a small village. It was Huge. Worth every penny. If you follow the BaldWhiteGuy, you know I have reservations about the prices of beverages at restaurants, but his was well worth the $3. May be drinking this cup till noon! #HowManyTimeCanYouRewarm Overall: fair prices, solid portions, and service that earned a generous tip. Final Review 4 out of 5 Bald Heads -- ‍‍‍‍ Positives * Locally owned and operated -- support your neighbors, not a corporate overlord. #ShopLocal * Great service -- attentive without hovering. * Plenty of food -- bring an appetite or a friend with a trunk. * Fair prices -- especially for the main plates. * Huge to-go coffee -- caffeine for days. Negatives * Bacon price -- delicious, but my wallet cried a little. * Thermostat -- it was cold enough to make my bald head regret life choices. Turn up the heat, Black Bird. #DontBeCheap If you're in Wilmington and you like breakfast, brunch, or lunch that treats you like a person and not a number, fly into The Black Bird. Tell them BaldWhiteGuy sent you, and tell the waffle I'll be back -- probably sooner than my cholesterol would advise.

Lots of staff, but still not good service since my server messed up my simple order and it took time to get it. Asparagus was so salty you could see chunks of salt in the very thin stems. Even grilled the hot dog was average at best. I am glad I don't have a reason to try this again. It replaced a regional chain that went out of business, but is a very big step down from it.
