    Also, the grits were the best I've had in the Wilmington area, just the right consistency and tasty too.

    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.

    Good service but the food was so so. Figured we would try the Guy Fieri recommendations. Nice…read morelittle spot in an old building. Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1. Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served w/chipotle ranch......Amazing!!!! Best we have ever had. 2. 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich had an amazing balance of ingredients that would make your mouth water. Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.

We're sorry it took us so long to discover . The owners must be doing something right as most if not all the staff is has been there since they opened a couple years back. The bartender asked if we've been there before and it was our first time so I believe he told the owner and the owner came over and chatted with us for a while.. we were there for brunch and both loved our meals . We will definitely return.! Many locals are regulars and you see it's a beloved restaurant .

There is plenty of parking around, and the neighborhood is lovely. We arrived right when lunch hour started so the restaurant was pretty empty. We were immediately seated and our waiter, Luke, was great with bringing drinks and menus asap. I decided to try the summer salad and add shrimp and an order of the kalbi wings. The wings were absolutely delicious and enough to share. My friend ordered the deviled eggs app and loved it too. The summer salad was very generous, but the reason my review is 4 stars and not 5 is because it was $10 for 6 shrimp! Regular sized shrimp. The salad was $15 which is totally fine, but $10 more for 6 shrimp is ridiculous. I would go back and just not add the shrimp. There is a really cute outdoor area as well. It was too hot to sit there at lunch time, but I imagine for dinner it would be lovely so I will go back another time to experience that.
