    Croissant-style Donuts 3-CT
    Tony B.

    7/4/26: Eggs Up Grill was a great brunch stop during our time in Leland. We visited on the morning of July 4th, and the restaurant was packed. There was about a 15-minute wait, which wasn't bad considering how busy weekend mornings seem to be here. We ordered the Hash Benedict, Classic Benny, Croissant Style Donuts, and the Chimi Steak Scrambler with cheesy scrambled eggs, grilled marinated skirt steak, avocado, tomatoes, toast, and home fries. Every dish was well prepared and exactly what we were hoping for. The benedicts had perfectly cooked poached eggs with rich hollandaise sauce, the Chimi Steak Scrambler was hearty and flavorful, and the croissant-style donuts were a fun, sweet treat to share at the table. Because the restaurant was so busy, the food didn't come out immediately, but the wait was completely reasonable and never felt excessive. The staff did a great job keeping everyone moving, and our server was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us throughout the meal despite having a full section. Overall, I'd give Eggs Up Grill 4/5 stars. The combination of great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an excellent brunch. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Leland and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable breakfast or brunch spot.

    Chorizo Quesadilla
    Robert J.

    We went while visiting Leland in October (out of season) at 10 AM on a Saturday. We didn't have any wait but the crowd was solid and consistent with very few open tables. I have heard in summer and early fall there can be a 30-60 minute wait. Nothing fancy about the restaurant but it is cute with little touches like funny tshirts and even an eggs cracked counter on the wall. Our waitress was friendly although they did seem understaffed as it took awhile for our orders to be taken and then again for the food to be served. Prices are reasonable for a breakfast spot. The food was pretty good with lots of interesting choices. We tried the Cro-nuts which are a combination of croissants and donuts. We had 2 variations, one plain and one seasonal which had a Creme filling, caramel, and cinnamon toast on top. Favorites varied within our table. For breakfast I had their breakfast quesadilla and home fries. The home fries were well seasoned and perfectly cooked where They weren't too crispy. The quesadilla had a little spice from the chorizo and was very good. Be sure to get some lime creama on the side to dip in. We would definitely try this place again.

    My "over medium" hard cooked eggs that were remade 3 times and never right. Don't come here unless you like over hard or scrambled eggs.

    For a place with "eggs" in the name, they sure do overcook my eggs consistently. Went in today to get takeout and my over medium eggs were very hard, and again no condiments. When I went to return it they tossed the entire dish instead of just recooking some eggs. So now I am waiting an unnecessary amount of time just because my eggs were wrong and I needed the salsa and sour cream that come with the bowl. I just wish they would do better because I do really like the food here when it's right. Update: after going back and waiting the eggs came out over hard again. I had them remake them a third time and one egg was right. At that point I just accepted it and went home. I think the cooks need more training because this is the most basic skill they need to have working at a breakfast restaurant. They gave me a 5 dollar coupon but I will not be back after this. It was too much of a hassle. In my picture are the second set of eggs on the left and the third remake on the right. Unacceptable!

    I came here with my girlfriend and we had a great time. Friendly service, delicious food, and it quickly came out!

    My Creme Brulee French Toast
    Angela M.

    The was my first visit to the Eggs Up Grill in Leland. Nice and bright interior with a section for outside seating. Our waitress Lindsey was very nice. I decided to try the Crème Brûlée French Toast. She asked if I wanted it with the drizzle and powdered sugar. Another waitress later brought our food. We were talking and I did not think much about my food. I did take a picture and started eating. It was very delicious. When I got to the middle of the toast it was soggy. I like my bacon crispy, but mine was a bit shriveled. After our meal, we were sitting there talking. I had a view of the counter and food window. I saw a waitress drizzling something on a dish and add powdered sugar. It hit me my dish was supposed to have those things on it too. The dish she carried to another table looked nothing like mine. I am to blame for being distracted and not realizing my dish was incomplete. Looking at the picture I took, the dish is very disappointing. I am including the picture from their website. That is what the other customers looked like.

    Chorizo Scrambler
    Monica P.

    Four of us had brunch here the other day. It was my first time eating at Eggs Up Grill (along with one friend). The place is one large open room, but very noisy due to the coffee machines. The menu had lots of great choices, but I ended up ordering the Chorizo Scrambler ($11.99). It was a very nice portion of eggs, chorizo sausage, diced tomatoes, some nice thick slices of avocado, all topped with a crema. I had the home fries and whole wheat toast. I could have skipped the toast - too much food for me. Service was a little on the slow side due to the place being filled with hungry diners. In fact, by the time we left, there were several people waiting at the door for tables. Our server was very friendly. I'll definitely go back.

    We have Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, kids Half Waffle, sampler

It was great weather this night, so we opted for an outside table that was in total shade. Very comfortable. Our server came by for drink orders. We had no appetizers this visit and went right into entrees. We tried the Port City Burger, the Gnocchi with chicken, cilantro lime shrimp quesadillas and the salmon tacos. Everything was delicious. The only complaint I would have is that the Salmon Tacos was a bit small. The dish is two small tacos with a side of tortilla chips. There is no salsa, no pico de gallo, no slaw. I was actually sorry that I didn't get an appetizer. I was still a little hungry after I finished. We didn't want any of the dessert offered this time. Again, everything was great. Service, food, atmosphere, outside patio. Just my dish was a little less in size. I will keep that in mind next time we visit. I'm not sure something like this would be changed on the menu, but I still wanted to voice my opinion. Still a great place with a great menu and service. If the weather is good, opt for the patio. It is really nice sitting out there.

    What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.

    This was the 3rd time we've been here. The first two times we did not make it to the table because…read moreof the service. They generally do not care about the customer at all. The star of the show is definitely the food. The chef is super proud of his food, and he should be. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 on food instead of a 5 is because there was no iced tea (in the summer in the carolinas - not really forgivable) the water was nasty and the biscuits on my Benedict were towards the burnt side on the bottom. Honestly, everything otherwise was amazing. What was really great: The restaurant itself is AMAZING! It's like being transported to a Parisian cafe. I love that when you walk in, you immediately see the fully in view kitchen. I'm assuming a chef owns the restaurant and designed the layout. The patio is quaint and delightful and surprisingly private for a downtown sidewalk restaurant. The eggs on my Eggs Benedict could not have been more perfect. I'm not a fried potato person; however, the pan fried potatoes here are mostly whole and they are out of this world. They were exceedingly crispy on the outside and completely soft on the inside. My son ordered the dutch baby. It was delicious. The accompanied fruit was perfect and truly ripe. I feel like they would have to toss a lot of fruit to get the ones that were truly that perfect. What did not work: The water - it was about 85 degrees out and humid. There is nothing here refreshing. Water is served European style meaning no ice and out of the tap. Warm tap water on a hot day in South Carolina is just nasty. It's ironic that while Europeans visiting the US for the World Cup are posting social media reels raving about ice in drinks in the United States, meanwhile The Dram Yard is insisting on pulling all of the worst parts of eating out in Europe into their restaurant. I truly dislike restaurants that serve canned and bottled beverages. It screams, "nickel and dime". If you bought your cans of soda at Costco and charged $4.00 for a can, I'd have to drink 9 cans before you're losing money. There is literally no reason to limit beverages other than driving higher profits. I hate price gouging. At the very least get a fountain and serve iced tea. SERVICE - the service staff simply makes you feel like they're doing you a favor by being open. Don't expect anything after that. When we arrived, the restaurant was at about 25% capacity with 2 food servers, who also double as the hostess. After waiting 10 minutes to be seated (yes...even at 25% capacity), service truly went downhill from there. It wasn't that the staff was rude. They were just not present and extremely slow. It honestly seemed like they were doing everything they could to not be seen. We needed salt, a refill of the water carafe and our check. That was it. The staff would come to our part of the dining room but then not even glance around or come by to see if we needed anything. I'm giving them a 2 because they were exceedingly slow and not present. When we did chase them down, I felt rude asking for help. The chef delivered our food. He was very proud and should be. However, here's the rub. The chef needs to learn that being in the restaurant business is not only about creating great food. It also requires front of house service and an overall dining experience that people are happy with. Right now, I'm walking away feeling: 1. great food and great atmosphere 2. terrible service 3. nickle and dimed me on drinks 4. doesn't have the sense to serve iced tea in the Caronlinas So - as much as I loved the food - there are too many restaurants in Wilmington that are good enough to overcome 2, 3 and 4 above. The Dram could be fixed so easily: 1. hire servers who want to be there and smile a little 2. put ice in your water 3. serve iced tea - at least in the summer months 4. get a soda fountain - it's 2026 Unfortunately, we won't be back because there are simply other options that, at the very least, hit 1, 2 and 3 with good food.

I was not in love but I think there are some caveats there because I am not the typical customer. First, we appear to have come right at the height of their dinner rush. It took a while to get seated. The hosts told us to sit at the bar and then the bartender kicked us out of our stools because we were waiting for a table and apparently the bar stools were only for people who were eating, so we had to go find a bench. When we did get seated they put us at a really weird high top in a separate room when there was a much nicer low top available in the main room that we switched to. I got the sense both that this place was kind of hectic and that they didn't think they needed our service. But then as we were eating it cleared out all of a sudden and we were the only people left at like...8 pm. Our server was...accetptable. Not rude, but kind of short. Compared to the lovely personable service we got at other places in Wilmington it felt...I dunno, New Yorky? Then there was the food. And here comes my biggest caveat. I am pescstarian and do not eat chicken. So I ordered a shrimp po boy. It was not good. Not bad. But not good. Especially for the price which, honestly, competed with the prices where I live in DC. Every other person around me ordered chicken. My husband ordered chicken. He really liked his chicken. So obviously, this is a place where you get chicken (if the name didn't make it obvious). Had I ordered chicken I likely would have enjoyed my meal a lot more. But if you have shrimp po boys on the menu, endeavor to make them decent or take them off. Also I subbed a side cesar instead of fries and it was an afterthought. The fries themselves were excellent. If I ate chicken and came back to Wilmington I would maybe give this place another shot but as it stands, nah.
