I was eager to try out the food at this restaurant, since I heard such great remarks. Last Friday, me, my husband, and family went to the General Denver for my birthday. We made dinner reservations the day before for 6 pm. They were very accomadating when I called about two hours before our dinner reservation to reschedule for 6:30 pm. The wait time on the food took about 30-35 minutes, which was a little long, but to be expected on a Friday. I ordered the cajun chicken pasta, which came with garlic bread and a house salad. My husband and mom ordered the fish fry with coleslaw and fries. My dad and sister ordered salads. We were all pleased with our meals and I'm looking forward to coming back here with my husband! read more

General Denver - Cajun chicken pasta - Hotels Near Me - Wilmington, Ohio

Stopped in here to meet a friend for lunch on a recent trip from Louisville to Columbus. The pub was crowded, but we got a table just as it was filling up. The food was good and they offer a wide range of dishes so most people should find something they like. I had the Greek flatbread pizza, which I really enjoyed. We shared the artichoke dip and chips to start. That was good as well, but it is a very rich dish. I would definitely recommend this spot for dining in Wilmington. Although this was not something that affected us directly, I did also notice that the staff were helpful and offered to open the dining room when a large party came and could not get a table in the pub. I think that speaks well for the level of service that is offered. read more

A friend recommended stopping here and I'm glad we did. Greeted quickly and warmly we sat outside. Drinks were quickly brought to the table. I ordered the grouper sandwich with homemade chips and it was delicious. My wife had a burger with fries that she would order again. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back when in the area. read more

My wife had the, Grilled Salmon glazed with honey bourbon sauce served with two sides, it was excellent.

My wife and I are from St. Louis and heard about The General Denver via the Glenn Beck Show. It was everything he said it was! We truly enjoyed ourselves in Wilmington and plan to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Amazing staff, amazing cocktails, amazing food. The spinach dip is life changing. Risotto (I subbed out chicken for the shrimp) and the house dressing on the side salad is 12/10. The only thing is the wait is a pain and there's no where to sit while you wait. Arrive early! Love the GD! read more

This place is very down to earth. This was my first time eating here and it was wonderful. Try the house salad dressing it is awesome. They use local vegetables from local farmers. The farmers market even sets up near the restaurant on Saturdays. If you are looking for a new place to try stop by you will not regret it. read more

General Denver - Bar area has a firefighter deco over the bar. Very cool to look at. - Hotels Near Me - Wilmington, Ohio

Hands down the best meal in our beloved County seat. Wether it be lunch, dinner or their famed Sunday brunch - we have never had anything short of excellence. Currently, I have found myself emphatically obsessed with the Fried Green Tomato BLT. The perfectly balanced remoulade atop crisp, top shelf bacon accompanied by fresh greens, excellent bread and the flawlessly prepared green tomato make an excellent combo. The special is always excellent! read more

Been here 3-4 times over the year and I think the meals just get better and better. This time around it was the lamb burger with pub fries. Simply excellent. Easiest the nicest place to eat in Wilmington, although that isn't a staggering statement. Beware, they can be extremely busy on the weekend and they will not seat a party until all members are there (no exceptions.) read more

Very quaint hotel, very good burgers. Oh, I should mention the selection of bourbon. Rooms outdated but that is the charm. Worth the short drive to the historic district to stay at this gem. read more

Unfortunately did not get to spend the night here but it's on my wish list if I get back to the area. We did very much enjoy our meal in the pub. What a warm and welcoming environment with friendly staff and delicious food. Definitely worth the trip off the highway to visit this charming town and terrific restaurant. read more

Our 1st time here. We waited 1 hour to be seated. We ordered appetizers and waited another 30 minutes but they never brought them out. When they brought our entrees out we told her that we had not gotten our appetizers yet and the waitress did not even apologize. She simply said she would remove the appetizer from our bill. We ordered 2 different burgers and they were bland and dry. However we loved the Pub Fries. They were well seasoned and delicious. read more

Came here for lunch from out of town for a music festival - cute place, friendly staff, get the fried green tomato BLT and sweet potato fries and you will not be disappointed. read more

Favorite spot! Obsessed with the fried green tomato BLT! Very clean and great people!

We had pub fries and wings. Both were very good. Will plan on going back. Staff very personable.

Ate there today for the first time. Ordered from the brunch menu. Had the Spicy Maple Chicken dish. It was delicious. Service was a bit slow, and had the potential to be frustrating. However, everyone was extremely friendly. I will definitely return. read more

Arrived on Friday around 10:00pm for Wilmington's graduation ceremony, JoJo greeted us with warm hospitality & a great attitude (we had a lot of dumb questions about the hotel being haunted). Checked in & went straight to the bar/restaurant. Ordered drinks & appetizers; the Tom Collins were very well made & the fried green tomatoes/pub fries were even better! FREE hot & delicious omelet the next morning, came back for lunch the next day & the food was just as top notch. Excellent service, great historic atmosphere & solid prices on both the hotel & restaurant! read more

If there's anything in Wilmington, it's this restaurant! I've yet to have anything bad from the menu. Usually I go there and order a cocktail and the filter with apple slices and sweet potato fries as the sides. It's been prepared perfectly every time and incredibly delicious. If you're passing through Wilmington, do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant. read more

A great place to eat in downtown Wilmington, OH. The wait staff and bartenders are amazing. We sat in a booth in the bar on a busy high school graduation night. The place was hopping! Good selection of beers and I enjoyed my Swiss mushroom burger with chips. The ambiance is friendly and casual. read more

Everything on the menu tastes great. Lunch can take a tad bit longer to receive food, but all in all it's worth the wait and always delicious!! The staff is wonderful as well! read more

Love this place. Come here often for an after work drink. They have a nice craft draft beer selection with four or five options. The food is outstanding and priced right. You can't go wrong with any selection. Service is always prompt and with a smile. Nice down-home charm. read more

I love this place so much and make it it point to eat here every time I visit my son at college. The food is very high quality, We love the Cajun chicken pasta, burgers, steak, eggs and home fries are so good. Salads are fresh and wonderful. Love the beer selection, service and ambiance. Truly a jewel. Can't wait to go back! read more

Very special location. Super cool venue. Excellent appetizers, good food, good service. Pleasant live music.

You will find a substantial variety on the menu from appetizers to seafood and steak including pasta dishes. You will find a seasonal rotating menu as well as daily specials. On tap, about 5 beers that rotate often so always check out the board on the wall. The staff is always attentive and friendly! The food quality is consistent and high. This is usually a weekly visit for us. read more

Great food for a small town location. Steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Grilled salmon was a bit overcooked but tasty. Recommend making reservations if there is a show in town as we had a long wait to be seated. Friendly service in historic setting. read more

Great food, plenty of on and off street parking in the area and prices are reasonable. Carrot cake was great too!

This is simply a gem of a family-owned, historic hotel. We have stayed here 3 times now while visiting family. Every time, every single staff member we have interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and more than generous with their time and their smiles. And on top of that, prices for both rooms and food are very reasonable. The food is delicious and the options range from basic to gourmet. If at all possible, try to include a Saturday night in your stay as the Sunday brunch is one of the top five I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. The rooms are charming and clean. Also, if you are traveling with a larger crew, the suites are lovely & spacious. I cannot thank the General Denver enough for being our home away from home when visiting this part of Ohio. read more

First time there. Food was really good and priced reasonably. The service was good. We ate in the pub area which was really crowded (saturday night). The seating was a little too close for comfort for me and the A/C must not have been working right. I would definitely try it again, though. read more

This is a hopping place when there are activities in town. They do take reservations. I had Molly's stuffed chicken and it was yummy! Great food very reasonably priced! Flat Iron steak was great too! Or try the lamb burger. We had a party of 6 with drinks and the price was unbelievably cheap! read more

My family made reservations for Mother's Day, and I wish we hadn't. They weren't super busy, but our food took well over an hour and a half to get from the kitchen to our table. I would be more understanding if they were slammed with orders and we had ordered food that takes a long time to cook... But most of us had eggs or omelettes, food that cooks fairly quickly. On top of the long wait, the waitresses were clearly uninterested in giving us refills, and they were off put by questions about where our food was. I know this sounds like we are impatient people, but one of our family members is a type 1 diabetic who can't wait very long after taking his medication to eat. You should change the name to Generally Disgusting. Please close down permanently! read more

Good brunch but a bit overpriced for what you got. Small selection of options for a Sunday brunch.

The Sunday lunch menu is very limited, the dining room needs to be remodeled, to reduce the crowd noise, taking 50 minutes to get cold food is unacceptable. Definitely will not be back until they learn that a restaurant is about quality food and good service. read more

My wife and i stopped in based on the recommendation of friends. That visit we both had steak. I had sweet potato fries and she had pub fries. The asparagus was young, fresh, and fantastic. Desert was ginger cake. A week latwr we returned with family and had another good meal. Prices are very reasonable for the service and quality. We'll be back. read more

Cool place in downtown Willmington. Stopped in for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly, menu was straight forward, food was great. Not sure that I'll ever be back in Wilmington, Ohio, but if I do I will certainly stop by. read more

Neat place, eat in the bar, the rest of the place is kind of stuffy. Very friendly staff and bar tenders. Burgers are very good! Like your dad made them on Saturday afternoon. Music on Wednesday nt. good place to check out if in town. read more

I went with a group of 4, who all had different meals. Two different burgers, pasta and a beef sandwich. Overall our group really enjoyed the food and service! Only downside is our hungry group would've preferred a little more fries with the burgers. Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more
