    Shrimp Salad Sandwich
    Brianna F.

    Poe's Tavern is such a good spot to grab a bite in Wrightsville! We love that it's kid & dog friendly. We sat on their outdoor patio and had the perfect weather. The food is always a hit here! Love that you can get any of the sandwiches as chicken, beef or a veggie burger- gives lots of choices. Also quesadillas, fries and lots of dips! Our waitress was so lovely & attentive. Our daughter loved her kiddie burger with fresh fruit on the side. Gets busy here in the summer & evenings- but it's totally worth it!

    Guhhhhh thee best burger everrrrrrr

    Genuinely thee BEST burger I've ever had the definition between the different flavors was absolutely amazing in all my years of life this is the best burger to ever grace my existence I cannot believe such an underrated restaurant could hold such an absolute gem I'm shaking in my damn boots NEVER change your recipe!!!!! Even the service was absolute! Food came quickly and our server was amazing to us! The paintings, lights, decore, and overall vibe of the restaurant was perfect!

    This place is as delicious as everyone says. The food is hot and flavorful and I love the poe theme. I would definitely return.

    Found Poe's Tavern as I was traveling through the area and looked up the menu and decided this would be a good lunch spot! My Mom is vegetarian...so we needed some options! Our server 'Abe' was friendly and provided recommendations which were appreciated! Abe's service was attentive and we enjoyed his banter! We came early and choose to sit outside and we glad we did..it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our time sitting on the patio! The prices were reasonable and food was tasty! If you are in the area..swing by and give them a try!

    Delicious!!

    I can't, with good conscience, leave that 5 star review up here. While it's still decent, it's lost a lot of its luster. Their fries used to be the best around, and they're not anymore. Their Cole slaw is kinda gross. The cabbage doesn't look fresh and it's drenched in dressing. I had their Buffalo shrimp salad and the flavor was good, but there is NO way that shrimp is fresh rather than frozen. They literally have a local fish market within walking distance! The lettuce was mostly spinach when it states "mixed greens." Oh. And while the glass was cold, the beer wasn't. The menus are gross and dirty and they need to just start over. We use to go here all the time, but after today, we've decided we've given them enough chances the past few years.

    Tuna and buffalo shrimp tacos

    After a little time at the beach, what a great place to get a really awesome lunch. A nice relaxed environment with great food. Had one buffalo shrimp taco and one fresh fish (seared tuna/pineapple and teriyaki) taco. Perfect for a chill day at the beach. Also they cook really good burgers and chicken sandwiches.

    I love Poe's. When you walk in the door, you know you are in for an experience. It's a very warm and fun feel, and the patio is always a delightful place to dine as well. The menu has some neat items to choose from, including enough specialty sandwiches to keep you coming back to try "a different one" every time. You can have your sandwich as a beef patty, chicken, or house made bean burger. All have great reviews from my family. The mahi tacos had mixed reviews - hubby enjoyed them but I did not. Service is always stellar and the drinks are unique and delicious. We have been here several times and absolutely recommend it.

    Just a small sample of the Poe decor! There is so much more that's a must see at Poe's Tavern in the dining room and also....bathrooms!

    1st, some of the absolute BEST burgers in Wilmington! 2nd, you've GOT to see and hear what's in the bathrooms! (Yes, I know that sounds weird but just trust me) The feel of Poe's Tavern is unlike any dining experience I've ever had before in that the staff is extremely friendly, the service is crazy fast and the overall atmosphere is top notch!! The food is so, so good!!!!!! 11/10 I WILL be going back for a 4th time!

    See all
