I had the pork chop meal and my children shared the chicken meal. Both were nice sized portions for the cost. It comes with rice and gravy but you also get to choose two sides. The green beans are way too salty so beware if you need to avoid high sodium dishes. The yams were tasty and we loved the cornbread.

While you're waiting, your brain has already zeroed in on the delicious food in the buffet. While it doesn't look like a ton of food in terms of the variety, once you taste everything, you will stuff yourself silly with quantity because everything is delicious! I particularly love the mac'n'cheese, fried chicken, and the BBQ fish. Make sure you save room though for the desserts- there's usually some type of cobbler in the buffet too and it's always good.

A Good Breakfast at The Basics!…read more My wife and I really enjoyed our breakfast at The Basics in Wilmington. She ordered the plain oatmeal pancakes with bacon and fresh fruit, and I had the blueberry oatmeal pancakes with scrambled eggs and cheese. Everything was delicious! The pancakes were flavorful, filling, and cooked just right. We both really enjoyed our meals, and the combination of good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and good service made for a good experience. We visited Wilmington and we are glad that we decided to stop at The Basics. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try something else on the menu. Good food, good atmosphere, and a good breakfast! We definitely recommend The Basics.

I've been waiting to come here for a while. Was in town for work and decided to visit On Thyme for…read morelunch. Service with a smile! The server answered our questions and was very helpful. Joined in on the jokes and fun (always love that). The space is cute! Graffiti type murals, big screen TVs, very hip hop/R&B lounge vibes. Music playing in the background was a great playlist. 90s and early 2000s!!! The food!!! So good!! I had the salmon bites with a side of broccoli and coleslaw. It also came with a Thai chili sauce. My friend had the OMG fish sandwich with a side of fried okra! It was hot. It was fresh. Everything was so good! Oh! And the cocktail. Called the Lue Lue Lemon. A tad on the sweet end but tasty nonetheless. I'll definitely be back when I visit Wilmington.

Shoutout to the hostess for being so kind and helpful--she set a great tone for a bright, lovely vibe. For a packed house, the kitchen was on top of it. Our food arrived quickly and tasted great. The salmon bites were packed with flavor and the shrimp were a great size. My only complaint? No refills on drinks since they come from a can. Minor detail, but worth noting. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be visiting again!

Six of us had lunch recently. We heard the place underwent a rebranding last year, so we decided to…read moregive it a try. It was a beautiful day but on the cool side, so we sat inside. We wanted to sit by the window but the tables were set for four people. The interior was welcoming and bright. There were a few items on the menu I wanted to try but the Bulgogi cheese steak sandwich sounded interesting. It was a bulgogi-style beef with American cheese, pickled slaw, onions and a side of togarashi (a seasoning) fries. My husband ordered the same thing. It was delicious and a cool twist on a cheese steak sandwich! Others enjoyed their food (shrimp and grits, local lettuces, Bulgogi cheese steak, and I forget that last food item). While service was good, it took almost 15 minutes before the shrimp and grits were served. Did someone drop the ball in the kitchen? We were not sure what happened, but our friend's meal was comped. Thank you. This is a place I would return to, either to dine outside or near the window.

If you find yourself in Wilmington, North Carolina and craving real-deal comfort food, Trucks…read moreChicken and Fish is the kind of place you want to check out. Located in a neighborhood setting with several small businesses nearby, it has that authentic local feel right from the start. Parking is on the street, and when you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy diner-style atmosphere that feels comfortable and familiar.

The menu is packed with soulful favorites--collard greens, cornbread, mac and cheese, fried chicken, chicken wings, burgers, and even a shrimp burger. There's a wide variety to choose from, so there's something for just about everyone. The standout here is the fried chicken. It's phenomenal--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and full of flavor. The chicken wings are just as impressive, seasoned wonderfully with great flavor and cooked up juicy exactly the way you want them. They also offer a great selection of desserts, giving you the perfect way to finish off your meal. If you're feeling a little adventurous and want something local, flavorful, and made with care, slide on by and give them a try. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

We sat at the bar and the waitress who took our order was very nice, and had great suggestions. The green Kool aid with watermelon pieces..... mercy.

FOOD: Today's feature is Webo's Fried Fish (Flounder) + Fried Shrimp Platter with Okra and Mac & Cheese. Everything was absolutely wonderful, but I really want to focus on Webo's breading and okra. The fish batter is crunchy, crispy and seasoned just right. The portion size is incredible and the fish, itself, was very hot and fresh. The okra? This is how fried okra should taste each and every time with that beautiful, light cornmeal breading! Beautiful! The Mac and Cheese was nice and creamy but needed some added pepper and light salt to season it to my preference. I was also hoping for some of that baked, thicker gooeyness throughout the mac (from a slight broiling on top during the cooking process) but it was a consistent creamy cheese. The mac wasn't bad at all, but not terrific. I would say it was good - very good. The okra and fish though? Those were seasoned, prepared and cooked properly! This is the Soul Food I expected and it fully satisfied. SCORE: 4.5 STARS!! SERVICE: I had the chance to meet Webo a couple of weeks back and also today. Man, this guy puts passion, love and his heart into this food and his business. While his staff was attending to customers in line, Webo, himself, was out greeting customers with his mask on and appreciating their business. The staff was friendly and seemed to all be enjoying their day. This was a fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back to try something new. SCORE: 5 STARS!! Webo's food truck is definitely worth following if you enjoy good, Southern cooking! The food was precisely what I was hoping for and the service was top notch. Thank you again for a wonderful meal today and I look forward to another! SCORE: 4.75 STARS!!
