    I was really excited to check this place out but it definitely didn't live up to my expectations due to a very limited selection of basic necessities and severely lacking customer service. Homegrown Market is an organic and local-centric grocery store and art market located in The Cargo District. Since we always choose organic and local groceries for our household, I thought this would be a great fit for some of our basic necessities. This is a small shop so there's not a huge selection to begin with, and many of the items that are available are either not organic or they are specialty items. This is definitely not somewhere I would shop for basic essentials as they didn't seem to have anything that we would use. This is however a great place to find specialty items. As for the customer service, it's absolutely horrendous. Usually when you shop local, you get much higher quality customer service, but that's definitely not the case here. I was in urgent need of a specific item that Homegrown Market advertised via social media that they sell. I wanted to confirm it was in stock before making the trip over to them since it was a decent way out of the way for me, so I tried calling 5 different times with no answer every single time. I had left a voicemail that was never returned. I sent an email to the email address provided on their social media with no response. I finally got a response after a few days when I reached out on social media and was told that they always carry the item and I do not need to call and check first. I went in to the shop, and the item was not there. The woman working at the time said she doesn't even know when they get that item in, maybe once or twice a month but it's very random. It's a good thing I ended up combining this errand with another one located in The Cargo District or I would have made a trip of about 45 minutes including both ways for nothing due to the misinformation I was given. Overall, I am pretty disappointed with my experience here. In the future, I may stop by again when I'm already in the area to see what's in stock, but I definitely would not go out of my way to shop here. You can get anything that they have here plus so much more (including organic and local items) at other shops like Tidal Creek Co-Op. This place is really cute and unique both inside and out and has potential but would really need to offer more items that people actually need and much better customer service.

    I was shopping in the cargo district today and planned to stop and get some potato's from the Homegrown Market . I had been once before right when it opened. It has changed a lot. I enjoyed the vibe and merchandise. They did have potato's and some food but I was expecting a bit more produce considering the name and the mural on the side of the building. It has a bar attached and local brews. Pretty cool place! Oh, it's also pet friendly!

Their main focus is on fresh halal meat and seafood and Middle Eastern products. Eventually the owner plans to start a bakery and dine-in restaurant. They just started having fresh produce today, including kale, cabbage, corn on the cob, squash, tomatoes, limes. Packaged pita bread, individually packaged halva sweets, and bulk nuts, green almonds, and Egyptian dukkah spice are available. Other products are a little bit of everything, including Latin foods, canned goods, kitchenware, syria soap, beans, rice (Egyptian, Basmati, etc), spices, dates, snacks, tea, turkish coffee. Some of the frozen/refrigerated foods include smoked herring, bacon, biscuits, falafel, grated soursop, melted chocolate, mac and cheese with langoustine, Norwegian salmon, sausages, calamari, gelato, Turkish bagels, gyro slices, samosas, kebab, chicken patties, Lahmajun bread, lavash, plain paratha, frozen veggies and herbs including Okra, molokhia herb, broad beans, baklava, kunefe, cheeses. Shelf products include Ghee ($8.99 for 14 oz), Tahini sesame paste ($5.99 for 16 oz or $8.99 for 32 oz or $21.99 for eight pounds), Egyptian rice, basmati rice, different flours like chickpea, almond, cassava, coconut, whole wheat, Jareesh (crushed wheat), cauliflower rice, small packaged noodles, lupini beans, jarred pacaya, vermicelli, basbousa boxed mix. There are a lot of different and interesting spices, such as Chinese pine nuts, dried limes, mahshi spice, lebanese spices (shawarma, kibby, sumac, kafta, ouzi), yemeni hot chili pepper, black roasted onions, yemen spice, Zaatar, as well as Karkaday Egyptian Hibiscus tea flowers. I tried this pastry made from Karen bakery in New Jersey, warmed up in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350°. It was plain, but very good-flaky and buttery. The bread would go perfect with tea for an afternoon snack or small breakfast meal. Also tried frozen falafel (Ziyad brand) and baked it, even though it called for deep frying (trying to be healthy you know). They were cute little circular shaped falafel, about 1.75 in diameter and about half an inch thick. Although I prefer a ball shaped size, it did have good flavor. If there's a product you're looking for and they don't have it, the owner is willing to see if he can get it for you. I look forward to coming back when the bakery and restaurant opens. Side note: ask permission if you want to take any pictures. The owner was not happy or friendly towards me taking close up pictures of his products while browsing the store, regardless of the reason. I didn't have the greatest shopping experience. So if you want to try to remember the name of the product, best to write it down on a notepad instead of taking a picture. But then again, he might not like that either.

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.

    My daughter and I came here on a Thursday because we were in the mood for burgers after a morning…read moreand afternoon of thrifting. It was our first time here, and I had the bacon cheeseburger and she had the smash burger. If the burger I had isn't considered one of the best burgers in Wilmington, then there's something wrong with my taste buds! The bun wasn't a typical hamburger bun; it had a roasted buttery taste and glaze to it. And the patty was THICK and cooked to a perfect medium-well like I requested, and coated with melted cheese! The crispiness of the edge of the meat combined with the warm, smooth cheese, along with the red onions, bacon, and sauce made for an incredible tasting burger! Next time, I think I'll ask for just a tad bit more sauce though. The seasoned fries were hot and excellent. I should also comment about the water we drank--it was poured into our glasses from an already-chilled bottle, so no ice was needed! The establishment was clean and lit with natural lighting from the extensive windows that make up the entire front of the restaurant. Tony, our host and server, was extremely welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I asked him to let the kitchen staff know how much we loved our burgers, and he even boxed and bagged up our leftovers (I WANTED to eat the entire burger then and there, but I would have stretched my belly way too much!). You have every reason to eat here, so go. Right. Now. :)
