I have been here for 3 class reunions over the last 10 years. It has switched some since the last 9…read moreyears ago, but still a good place for groups and the main dinning area is large and set up for friends and family eating out. The food is always above average and for a reasonable price. Service is good and friendly. They didn't even put us out before they were closing but started cleaning up to let us know we were after closing time. Only problem is why a bar/restaurant/bowling alley would close at 10 pm on Saturday night. Hillsboro use to not be the town that stopped at that time especially bars. But even the local Kroger's shuts at that time. If I am back in the area, I would gladly stop again.

We were so excited to try this while passing through. The "church basement" vibe didn't bother us…read moreat all, but we were still disappointed. I heard the country boy was really good. Chicken and waffles were good, but struggled to eat it without a knife. The weathervane was mediocre at best. Potatoes were sad and mushy on both plates. Overall the service was really what was lacking. She was friendly, took our order and never came back. No drink refills, no check. We sat there long enough to one by one use the restroom and decided we must pay at the counter. We did not feel like the whole food + experience equated to a great value for the money.

South Street, Wilmington, Ohio (937) 366-6220 Website: https://theblackbirdwilmington.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577050103184 0600 - 3pm - Daily I'm always on the hunt for locally owned and operated places to support -- mostly because chain restaurants make me feel like I'm eating the same corporate dream in every town. #OverPricedUnderRated A longtime friend and BaldWhiteGuy supporter, Chris Georges, suggested the Black Bird. So I did what any responsible, waffle-motivated adult would do: I Googled it, packed the princess (my child, not royalty), and drove 27 minutes into the wilds of Wilmington for breakfast. I've got a long, complicated love affair with Wilmington -- R&L trucking memories, pay-lake fishing , horse shows, drive-in dates with a adorable dimpled accomplice, and pizza from a hole-in-the-wall called Generations Pizzeria, back before they went all boogie and built a real restaurant. #LongTimeSupporter. Somehow, The Black Bird flew under my radar. July 9, 2025, The new kid on the block, but already serving up breakfast like it's been doing it for decades. We rolled in on a day when Mother Nature decided to audition for a snow catastrophe. School canceled, and me coming off a 20-call shift with a five-hour fire standby -- so yes, I was hangry and exhausted. #ShowMeCoffeeandBacon The Black Bird's parking lot had room, the staff waved us in, and we were told to sit wherever we liked. I considered the window seat for the ambiance, then remembered the car thermometer read "well below zero" and chose survival over Instagram lighting. Good call -- the corner booth on the opposite side of the restaurant was cold, the window seats were colder, I'm sure. Service was prompt. Water for the princess, black coffee and water for me -- because coffee is a personality trait. The menu is a delightful problem: too many good choices. I solved this like a rational adult by ordering the dish that crams the most breakfast joy onto one plate. #MostImportantMeal #HealthyBoy I ordered the Two Birds Platter - 2 eggs over-easy, bacon, a waffle, and wheat toast. * Eggs: Perfectly cooked. Not a puddle of yolk, not a hockey puck. Just right. Hats off to the chef. * Bacon: I'm normally a "slightly underdone, floppy bacon" guy, but this was crispy in the best way -- not burnt, just proud. Definitely sandwich-worthy. #maybenexttime * Wheat Toast: Salted butter, golden brown, the kind of toast that makes you consider buying a toaster with feelings. * Waffle: The reason I drove 27 minutes. Warm, slightly sugary crunch on the outside, fluffy inside. If waffles had fan clubs, this one would be president. The Two Birds Platter was delicious and filling. Highly recommended. The princess went with French toast plus a side of bacon. Three thick slices of Texas-toast-style bread, perfectly cooked, topped with a berry compote that tasted like summer and probably a small sin against your A1C. #Diabetes #WilfordBrimley She couldn't finish it (too much food? impossible), so I heroically sampled. Verdict: wonderful. Staff kept my coffee above the half-cup threshold -- a service-level I judge all restaurants by. If your coffee dips below half, you're playing with my emotions (and your tip). Let's talk price * Two Birds Platter -- $11.00 -- Incredible value. Plenty of food. I left full and happy. * French Toast -- $11.00 -- Fair and generous portions * Side of Bacon -- $4.00 -- Two slices for four bucks? Either that pig was raised on caviar or someone's tipping the bacon farmer. Pricey, but tasty. * Coffee -- $3.00 -- Hot, and delicious. Kept my cup full and offered a to go cup (great touch). They asked small or big. I said big. They delivered a cup that could power a small village. It was Huge. Worth every penny. If you follow the BaldWhiteGuy, you know I have reservations about the prices of beverages at restaurants, but his was well worth the $3. May be drinking this cup till noon! #HowManyTimeCanYouRewarm Overall: fair prices, solid portions, and service that earned a generous tip. Final Review 4 out of 5 Bald Heads -- ‍‍‍‍ Positives * Locally owned and operated -- support your neighbors, not a corporate overlord. #ShopLocal * Great service -- attentive without hovering. * Plenty of food -- bring an appetite or a friend with a trunk. * Fair prices -- especially for the main plates. * Huge to-go coffee -- caffeine for days. Negatives * Bacon price -- delicious, but my wallet cried a little. * Thermostat -- it was cold enough to make my bald head regret life choices. Turn up the heat, Black Bird. #DontBeCheap If you're in Wilmington and you like breakfast, brunch, or lunch that treats you like a person and not a number, fly into The Black Bird. Tell them BaldWhiteGuy sent you, and tell the waffle I'll be back -- probably sooner than my cholesterol would advise.

Stopped here for a quick bite while staying in town to camp for the weekend…read more Immediately I was intrigued by the diversity of the menu; they had a wide range of Mediterranean cuisines and all looked delicious. The interior was quant and personal, with the walls covered with old celebrities, European landmarks, and historical events that give it a storied feel. The service was very inviting; we got there 40 min before close (I know I'd hate me too) and they were just as kind as could be. I ended up trying the chicken soup of the day and their crab stuffed cannelloni, which were both pretty good. My only note for not giving 5/5 was I didn't taste any crab in the dish I got, just lots of cheesy goodness (which was still delicious). Definitely a hidden gem that is worth the stop!

I had the Mediterranean salad with chicken. Juicy delicious chicken with fresh romaine, tomatoes, cherry peppers, red cabbage, Kalamata olives and a great dressing. Yum again! My son had the Mediterranean gyro. Lamb & beef piled high on a pita with tzatziki, hummus, red onion, lettuce, jalapeño and feta. He said is was one of the best gyros he's ever had. Service was fast and friendly, a nice guy. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

It took 50 minutes to get our food and we had to wait a long time before getting it for our waitress to come to our table just so that another beer could be ordered. The food is a mixture of American and Mexican food. We ordered fajitas and shrimp street tacos. The fajitas were good and well seasoned. The shrimp tacos in my opinion were not good. There was barley any shrimp on them and there wasn't any flavor. I also substituted for cilantro and onions and got a lot of onions but barley any cilantro. It comes with a side of rice black beans. Not something I would pair with them but I understand that those are used when people order bowls. Loved the live band. Not sure if I will be returning.

The table next to us had a family sitting with kids .the kids were very ill ruley running around the place, screaming, yelling , the parents did nothing just sat there.

People in charge should have said something to them about the kids .maybe it happens all time with the family.

They had a great breakfast and the highlight for us were those amazing breakfast potatoes. Everyone agreed they were the star of the show.

It's conveniently located right next to the bike path and a bike shop. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
