    Blackened Mahi tacos
    Aimee N.

    My family and I had a lovely lunch here today. We sat outside and our server was really great. She answered a ton of questions that we had. My family all got different burgers and they each loved them. The fries were delish and the salad was so huge and yummy! I had the mahi tacos and chips and salsa. It wasn't bad but I should have went with something fattening. Bloody Mary was also delicious! Great spot!

    The Shroom
    Tracy S.

    Very good experience. The service was great, as was the food. Several of us got smash burgers. I find that smash burgers tend to be on the dryer side, since they are thinner. These patties were anything but. They are very juicy and flavorful. We opted for the Parmesan fried upgrade and that added an extra kick of flavor. I got to try the Island Shrimp and they were zesty and cooked perfect, no overdone and chewy shrimp. The party was very pleased. Next on the agenda to try are the mozzarella fritters!

    My boyfriend and I decided to go get burgers here one evening before seeing a movie at the Pointe theater. It was our first time trying them. When you first enter from the side with the parking spots, you see the bar immediately first on the left. If you walk down the hallway on the right you get to the regular seating area. There are tons of seats both inside and tables outside along with what looks like a firepit. We decided to sit inside for our meal. The restaurant looks like it has several specials throughout the week, including one night of the plain burger being on special, but we decided to try the southerwestern burger and the shroom burger one with fries and one with brussel sprouts. Both of them were tasty, but with our total being $38 for two burgers and one sweet tea, they were not phenomenal for that cost. The brussels were super tasty- definitely recommend. Maybe we'll try another special or go just for drinks, but that's alot for burgers.

    Great lunch spot! Has a separate dining , bar and outdoor area. There were so many different options on the menu to choose from, I went with the Patty Melt and it was huge and super filling. My husband got the wings and said they were good! We had great service and they have $5 mimosas can't go wrong!

    Reuben Sandwich and fries
    Monica P.

    My friend saw a photo of a Reuben sandwich on facebook the other day, tagged me and we decided to try the place. The sandwich looked really good, which was piled high with meat. My friend and I went today and told the waitress we wanted to split the sandwich since it looked so big. Not so. While it was tasty (the French fries were great), it didn't stand up to the photo. The amount of meat was on the skimpy side. Back to the drawing board to find a good Reuben. We had very good service by our waitress.

    This new restaurant is right across the Pointe 14 theatre. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Free Wi-Fi and the password is posted in the restaurant. The food was good, nothing spectacular. We tried the grilled salmon, Baja fish (mahi mahi) taco platter, and fish & chips. The salmon had basic seasoning but was cooked perfectly. I liked the asparagus that came with it, tender, tasted like it had fresh thyme seasoning. I didn't care for the "smashed" potatoes. It was like chunky mashed potatoes flavored with heavy cream or half and half. My partner really enjoyed his fish & chips, thought the fish was fried well and liked the Cajun sauce (mustard based). The fries were thin cut, crispy, and arrived hot. My sister in law liked that the taco platter presentation was good, tacos were in taco stands, but there wasn't much flavor in the guacamole and cabbage slaw. My partner rated the bloody mary 3/5. Our waitress Miranda gave options of different vodka. Miranda was nice, polite. Didn't see a dessert menu. All of the tables were full as it got closer to 6pm. But then again this was on a Tuesday, which is discount movie day. This place could be a good place to grab a bite to eat before or after watching a movie at the movie theater.

    Specialty burger list
    April L.

    I started following Spindle's on Instagram when I heard they were opening. Every post showed great pics of food and drinks so I'd been meaning to go. On this particular Monday, I saw a post for their burger night and a chance to get one free and I won! So now I had to go! It's in a nice location in Barclay and was a clean spacious place with a nice outdoor patio. The hostess was super friendly and so was our waitress. I got a choice of 6 different burgers and went with the Southwestern. It was an average burger but I really liked the fries. My husband got the trash can nachos which were good but the queso was watery and the pork needed more seasoning. They have a large menu and a lot of happy hour deals and specials so I'd check them out again.

    Side salad w/honey mustard dressing is pretty big
    Laura N.

    Great food at reasonable prices! Lots to choose from and it all looks good I went with a friend at lunchtime on a Saturday. Our server was really friendly, but she kept disappearing, so we had to flag down other servers to get her for us twice. There is a patio outside for warmer weather. I brought my husband back for lunch on a Tuesday, but they don't open until 3:30, so check the hours of operation before you drive over there. Absolutely recommend this place and am looking forward to going back!

    Wagu meatloaf
    Cassandra B.

    We were seated promptly and our server was extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very similar to when it was Tavern 17 (sports bar restaurant). We started with mozzarella balls and they were good. I did like that you had plenty of marinara and I think there was 8 of them (easy to share). For my entree I went with surf and turf. It was okay. Nothing special really (could have used some steak sauce for sure - I don't always use steak sauce only when flavor is needed). My son had chicken parm and said it was good. His portion was huge. My husband had the wagu meatloaf and liked it. He said he'd like to try something new next time. The table behind us had trash can nachos and they looked and smelled amazing! Wish we ordered that! They also ordered birthday shot flights which looked super fun!

    16 Bone-In Buffalo Wings, 1 pulled pork taco, and 1 bangin' chicken taco.
    Josif W.

    Had been trying to visit this restaurant since we heard about and saw signs they were doing 25 cent wings for the month of December. The first time tried, the house was packed and it was going to be a long wait. The second time we tried, they were closed. But luck finally shined on a friend and I after we finished watching a matinee movie at The Pointe and saw they would be opening soon (holiday hours) We walked in, we're greeted and promptly seated. Haleigh took our drink order and returned promptly. She did a good job of checking in on us throughout the meal. We already knew what we had come for so that part was easy, but we also noticed that they have regular daily specials as well, so we decided to add a couple of tacos. Boneless wings had a 1lb minimum Bone-in had an 8 wing minimum. Not a problem for my friend and I. He ordered 16 bone-in buffalo wings. I ordered the pound of boneless tossed in teriyaki. We both asked for extra ranch (because duh!) which was 50cent extra per ranch. He added a pulled pork taco and a bangin' chicken taco. I ordered a bangin' shrimp taco and a Chicken BLT taco. All the food came out pretty quickly and at the same time. The wings are not breaded, which honestly I was fine with. They were flash fried. I found this to actually be helpful as I was not filling my stomach with breader. It was all chicken. The wings and sauces were good. The ranch was good (very important) The tacos were fine. I felt they could have been simplified. All the tacos came with guacamole and pico de gallo, which honestly could have been left off some of them. Pub/bar tacos aren't going to be authentic, so why not lean into enhancing their individual flavors. The chicken BLT would be good to just have lettuce, cheese and a smoky sweet bbq sauce. The bangin' shrimp would benefit from being tossed in the sauce rather than having a drizzle over it, and then add more of an Asian slaw. The chicken and beef would be fine to keep to the traditional Latin flavors, but maybe offer a side of sour cream and/or salsa for dipping. The pulled pork could have benefitted from a smoky sweet bbq sauce as well OR to give it a Carolina flair, maybe a vinegar based sauce. These are by no means deal breakers, as the tacos were only $2 - just offering possible improvements that could elevate the tacos. Overall, a good experience and already looking forward to coming back to try some of the other items on the menu. (Which I so appreciate a simple, 1-page , front and back menu) Give them a try!

    House Margarita
    Wanda M.

    Hey moviegoers, we now have another option for lunch at the Pointe! They are now open everyday at 11:00! Had ate lunch elsewhere, but had some extra time before the movie started, so we grabbed a couple of drinks at the bar! House margaritas were on special $5 as well as My husband's favorite, Tropical lightening! Bartender was super friendly and provided great service! On the chalkboard they showed a lot of nightly specials, Monday-Burger night, Taco Tuesday, Wine Wednesday and Hibachi entrees on Thursday! Also they were having 50c wings, 8 minimum for happy hour from 3:30-6:00! Not sure if that is everyday? So we decided to stop back in after the movies to try the wings, Buffalo and Thai Chili, both were great! Will definitely stop in again!

Very delicious. I was torn between the smash burger and crab cake sandwich for my main, so my step mom and I decided to order and share/split both and do a half of each. Such a great move as I love to be able to try as many menu items as I can, especially somewhere new to me! Both were yummy, but the smash burger was definitely what I walked away talking about. The crab cake was a bit bland and could've used a bit more lemon/seasoning to it. The ambiance of this spot is definitely a big feature with gorgeous views of the water and plenty of outdoor patio seating with fire pits and all for cozy vibes all year long.

    We arrived on a very busy Monday night. There were two people ahead of us that only wanted to sit…read moreat the bar, and the hostess suggested the outside bar area, since there was no room. We were next and got the last table for two. The place was completely full. After reading the menu, the daily special was 1/2 price burgers. They also gave first responders 20% off on Mondays. They have specials every night, so it is worth it to check that out before coming in. We started with a basket of hush puppies and corn muffins with yummy molasses butter. If you get in between 3:30 and 5pm, appetizers are 1/2 price Monday through Friday. I can see why this place is so busy! So I decided on a burger, who can pass up half price day? And we also got the knuckle sandwich, which was 20% off for first responders, so my hubs got that. Off to a good start. Also tried fresh squeezed lemonade, really delicious and fair priced. The burger and the sandwich were huge, we both had to take half to go. You get one side for $1.50, but added sides are $4 each. Still ok since the prices are good. There were charges for the added bacon and cheese on my burger but still at half price, it is a great deal. The restaurant is very rustic, pub atmosphere and very relaxed. The bar was completely full, so that must be the highlight of the restaurant. Looked lively and busy. Service is very good, the servers come back to check on you often. Chloe was very sweet and attentive. The only disappointment was dessert. We chose the cake of the day. It was chocolate Bundt cake with cinnamon frosting. To be completely honest, it tasted like boxed cake mix and canned frosting. It was very small, so I knew it was probably cake mix. There was nothing special about this; it was also pretty dry. Even if they purchased their desserts from a local bakery, it would have been better than what we got. I won't say avoid all their desserts, but I wanted to point out the cake specifically. So overall: The prices were excellent, food and service is really great, and the pub atmosphere was nice and comfortable. The plus was that on a busy night, we didn't wait for a table. They do not do reservations so prepare to wait, or just go earlier. I would definitely come back here, and enjoy some more of the large menu. 5 stars

    What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.
