This restaurant isn't in the best part of town which I knew from reading comments online and I know the area well. I purposely just told my wife I was taking her to a secrete fried chicken place but when we pulled up she refused to park. From the outside it appears to be a run down fast food shop. Anyway I went by here today solo while on lunch. I work downtown and it's often hard to find a cheap and quick lunch spot that's not over crowded with people trying to do the same. Despite the location and physical appearance the restaurant was very crowded. I ordered a four-piece wing combo with fries at 1:30. The gentleman who took my order told me it would be 15 minutes. There weren't any open seats so I went to wait in my truck. After 15 minutes I went back inside and still waited another 15 minutes before my order was ready. This is clearly a community and family restaurant. While I waited I got a chance to check out all the baby pictures on the wall and socialize with all the other families waiting on their order. Overall I enjoyed my fried chicken but I don't understand what the hype was about. Yes it's super cheap. My order was $5 including tax but the wings were small and barely had any meat on them. I will be back but next time I will order a breast or thigh and not come during peak lunch hour.

I love the Cubano - Mayo, Spicy Mustard, Grilled Ham & Marinated Cuban Pork with melted Swiss & Pickles served on Cuban Bread and today I had the Brisket Dip - Grilled Brisket with sautéed Onions & melted Provolone served on Cuban bread with a side of Au Jus. Tender, hot and flavorful, and quick for lunch I love that they roast their meats and bake their bread in house. They even make their own burgers. Definitely a gem.

Most of the tables were full. Lots of construction workers on their lunch break. By the time we finished giving our order, a table became available. We ordered the Cuban and a Reuben and split them between the two of us. The sandwiches were good, but not the best we've ever had. The pork in the Cuban seemed like deli meat, rather than a Cuban-style roasted pork. The Reuben wasn't your typical thick pile of meat. There are other choices on the menu, so we'll give this a try again.

This is located very centrally in downtown Wilmington and offers parking validation so don't be discouraged about the parking situation. There's a lot on the side you're free to use. We were seated right away on a weeknight and it was actually pretty full for being a weeknight. They have a good amount of space though. Millie was our server and she was a sweetheart. She was on it from start to finish. Checked in on us very regularly and provided above and beyond service. She contributed to our excellent experience. Fried chicken had to be ordered as it sounded so good and it definitely didn't disappoint. It comes with two sides and all of the sides were fresh. Portions were super hearty and generous. Chicken was fried to a crisp, in a good way!! The chicken sandwich was also great, but the fries are also very memorable, incredibly fresh. We were so surprised by how hot the food was in temperature, again in a good way. Everything was made to order. I loved that we were able to try this place out. I definitely recommend it and we will be thinking of the fried chicken for a long time!

Tl;dr - If you come here for their main event - chicken and fries - it's very good. Anything else,…read moredon't waste your time. Vegetarians need not bother. 3.5? 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.

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 staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which sets the tone for the whole experience. 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.

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.

The location is downtown in one of our favorite neighborhoods, and parking was easy to find on the street. Although we had called ahead and reserved a table inside, we opted to sit on the porch as it was an absolutely gorgeous evening for eating al fresco, and I highly recommend the outdoor seating if you have any issues with being HOH as I do- when they're busy it can be a little difficult with the noise level inside. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and offered all the best suggestions on menu items- being so familiar with it first hand even though it changes twice a season! We both had incredible handcrafted cocktails, along with 3 appetizers to start: deviled eggs, tuna tartare, and hush puppies. All were unique takes on your traditional offerings and very enjoyed! For dinner we had the duck breast and tile fish, which had such great flavor. Since we couldn't decide between two of the desserts, we had both! I can't remember but it was something blueberry and the other had the best cream topping! We will definitely be returning for another romantic evening with delicious food and great service!

You can choose your spice level of the chicken, and even customize for them to add no spice. I got the two sliders w/fries and chose the "extra spicy" for my chicken. I loved the crunch that the chicken had, and even being "extra spicy" it was the PERFECT spice level to complement the slaw that it's topped with and the potato bun. It love a great mix of sweet and spicy, which is my personal favorite flavor contrast! Even though the fries are a side, I have a special place in my heart for crinkle cut fries & tots! Service was top notch, and inside was clean with plenty of seating! I'd easily give Dave Hot Chicken 5 out of 5 If you haven't tried Dave's Hot Chicken then you definitely need to, because the hype is up to par!
