Been here twice now and haven't been disappointed. Everything was really good. The corned beef hash didn't seem like fresh homemade corned beef, but it was still flavorful. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly, and the Belgian waffle was light, fluffy, and also flavorful. Got a side of fruit which was super fresh. The service was excellent too. Our waitress was friendly, checked on us often, and took great care of us. Looking forward to coming back again. read more

Met family here for breakfast and it was delicious! Staff was so friendly and attentive! Our food also came out quickly and hot. I got the steak and cheese omelette and it was 10/10! Home fries were also delicious! Pricing is fair and portion sizes are great. read more

I don't live near Wilmington but we wound up in this restaurant because a friend has some art on exhibit there. This is a neighborhood gem--good plentiful food, fast service, pleasant staff. No reservations and this is clearly a popular place but we didn't have to wait long at 11:30am on a Tuesday during Christmas week for a table for 3. Be forewarned, the portions are HUGE. I took home most of my pancakes and sausage and I swear I ate off it for three-four subsequent meals. The pancakes could be ordered with all sorts of add-ons (bananas, fruit, even m&m's I think) but I got them plain and they were fluffy and tasty. The sausage links were cooked to perfection. One companion got a BLT sandwich that he enjoyed and the other got tuna on a bed of lettuce. There was too much lettuce for her I think but she liked the tuna. Oh, and my friend's art is fantastic! I think it'll be there another few months and we are planning a return in February. read more

We have been dying to find a replacement breakfast spot for all of those great ones we have lost over the last several years in the surrounding towns. Alas, this one just came out as "average" in the end. The restaurant itself is rather large, with many booths available. Some are "hidden" around the back corner which once you see them, makes the place look a lot larger. They also have a bar type area where the waitstaff gets drinks from. Much of the food was just underwhelming. The French toast we ordered was undercooked and not very flavorful. The kid's menu was super confusing on how to order or what things were included. Too many "or this" sentences. Seriously, it's like 3-4 lines of that kind of language. They say they make muffins on site, but there were only about three flavors to choose from and this was 9 AM. They could also do a better job displaying them. Can you get them grilled? I didn't ask but also didn't see it listed. The interactions with our waitress were a bit odd. We would make requests and she would attempt to talk us out of them with no rhyme or reason. I can't think of another time I've really ever experienced that in a sit down restaurant. In the men's bathroom, the urinal was all taped up and closed off. It was a bit bizarre. Look, it's serviceable and there isn't anything really wrong with it. It'll become the go-to place from the townies again. Given that the owner who once owned the location throws the previous owner fully under the bus right there on the menu, they still need to rise up a tad bit more to the upper echelon of north shore brekkie. read more

Amazing omelet breakfast. My only complaint is that the home fries can't get crispy because they are bought already cut up and they just won't crisp. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good coffee and sides. read more

Excellent food and the wait staff is amazing!!! Breakfast and lunch are always amazing we eat here at least twice a week

My husband and I were in the area for a home show and decided to grab lunch. The Real McCoy came up on the map so we decided to give it a shot. It looked quite busy in the parking lot, but we were seated right away. The waitress was attentive and our food wasn't too much of a wait... maybe 10 minutes or so. My burger was cooked as it ordered it, and it's the perfect grill burger. Not too greasy, nice and juicy, and has a bit of the crispy outside that I like. The tots were great but the real star of the show were the onion rings. Thick, light and crisp... they were heavenly. I'm glad my husband ordered them, else I never would have known. If you like onion rings, I recommend these. Our waitress checked in several times and kept on top of our soda refills. Great service and meal... I'd come back! read more

Busy Sunday AM. First time visiting since changed to breakfast place. Sad to give a poor review. Used to love it before as lunch/dinner pizza/seafood establishment. Was very surprised by food quality this visit. It was overcooked, dry, tasteless and tepid when served. Spinach and feta omlette was so dry and overcooked - had to pull out long, chewy, tough pieces of spinach. How does feta stay dry in an omlette? Same for overcooked potatoes. Toast was fine. Decafe coffee was tepid and watery. Portions are generous, but only good if eatable. Waitress was nice and attentive and best part of meal. read more

The coffee is fine. My boyfriend and I had our first meeting here. All we had was coffee and as I said, it was fine. I went back several months later and was disappointed. The French toast was so under cooked. Highly disappointing. Pancake for child was cooked well and tasted good. The bacon was good- I asked for it well done. The home-fries were undercooked and my eggs were too wet. I did ask for over easy but this was beyond. It's too bad. Service wasn't slow or anything. Atmosphere was fine. I was seated right away on a Saturday morning and my server was nice. I'm not sure if I'll try it again. Likely not. read more

First off, let me say that I am a fan of Mike McCoy. His old place, Michael's Place, was fantastic and when he sold, I went back one more time and quickly realized that it was not the same. I was so happy to hear that he was back at the same address and that he was serving lunch! His chicken is some of the best I have ever had! Ok, back on task! I visited this day for breakfast. I went with my son on a cool Fall Saturday about 10am. The building is still the same with some of the tidying up they did after the site was closed for some time. There are plenty of 2 person tables and several booths with a bar in the front of the restaurant. The kitchen is in the same spot (off the left as your enter) and there is plenty of room for everyone. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated at a clean table. We were given breakfast menu's and asked what we wanted to drink. We were both excited to put our orders in and to see how good the food was! We had pancakes, french toast, bacon, english muffin and home fries. I had a large milk and my son ordered a coffee. The time that it took for the food to come was average. It was a busy morning so we understood the wait. As we looked around, we noticed that there were several tv's on the wall. We were hoping that that was a sign that lunch and, soon, dinner would be served at McCoys! We will see! Our food arrived and it was delicious. Plenty of everything! The bacon was perfect, home fries cooked just right and my son loved the Pancakes! Plenty of syrup, which is sometimes not the case in other breakfast locations that I have visited! We finished everything up and my son had a 2nd cup of coffee. A few things to consider: - plenty of parking - service was fantastic (plenty of staff) - price was fair - looks like they have a liquor license - they are open 6am to 2pm (serving breakfast and lunch) - Mike was on-site and working away in the kitchen! What a great addition for Wilmington. A solid restaurant with community ties is always a good thing! 5-stars read more

New breakfast spot in Wilmington! Staff is generally friendly, but busy. We got their corned beef hash eggs benedict and their country fried steak. HUGE portions for a really fair price! Thought the corned beef hash was a tad salty. But overall, it's a very welcome addition to Wilmington and I will definitely come back! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant, in one form or another, for years. The food is good. A draw back is that they never change the specials. Most of the time the waitresses are quick and very nice. I love Denise. Today the service was definitely lacking. Train the waitresses or have more on.​ read more

My First Time Here I Ordered Homemade Cornbeef Hash, With Two Over Easy Home Fries. and Sausage Was Very Awesome. Second Time Here Ordered The Same Breakfast EXCEPT-They Gave Me Canned Cornbeef Hash Instead Tasted Like Mary Kitchen Hash. Awfull Very Disappointed That They Did That Was Not Very Happy About This, Will Re-Think About Having Breakfast Here Again. read more

It's okay. Nothing special as far as breakfast. I do enjoy the owner coming into the comment section to try and belittle the reviews though..news flash, not the best way to be professional in owning a restaurant. Take the reviews and do better. Don't criticize the reviews. read more

First time here for breakfast, so just my first impression - Very bright, clean and esthetically pleasing interior. Went early on a weekday, so not very crowded, but it looks packed on the weekends. There was one server working the breakfast bar and tables but she seemed able to cover things fine, so no problem with the service. The food was fresh and cooked very well, but my only problem was that it was very bland. Home fries had no flavor and seemed like they were probably not freshly cut there or possibly "bagged" potatoes, which I guess is fine, but get some seasoning and flavor to them! I also had the special corned beef hash omelet and again, not much flavor to speak of. I will give it another try and update this review because it wasn't bad. It was very clean and service was good. I'll try something different from the menu to see if I can find some flavor. read more

Excellent food good service at a reasonable cost plenty of seating minimum wait time would definitely go back

I've been a fan of this place for years. It's an Awesome and comfortable spot to get a hearty breakfast or lunch....there is nothing I wouldn't recommend on the menu.

So my husband I went for breakfast today and it was sooo good and they are so accommodating! My husband loves omelettes but they are 4 egg omelettes there so we decided to share that meal.

Tried The Real McCoy for the first time yesterday. I wish I knew about this place sooner! The food was excellent. Service was top notch. The portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable. I loved that you could get tater tots with the breakfast options! read more

The food was very good. Omelette are huge They use 4 eggs in their omelettes Would have been a 5 but server kept talking, didn't listen. Forgot the OJ, and ketchup. Definitely would recommend. read more

Food was good enough but this is another place that puts the tablet in front of you set to 25-22-20% tip, after your waitstaff doesn't do anything special. Saw them 4 times: take drink order, drop drink and take food, drop food, drop check. Ordered coffee and was never refilled. Looks like that was server to server. One was carrying the pot regularly to the tables....apparently I needed to advocate for myself to get coffee. Thats my biggest gripe. What breakfast place do you need to go out of your way to order coffee. Found tobacco ash and leaf in toilet. restroom didn't smell so could have been someone ashing off a half smoked cig, or they were smoking in there. Doesnt matter much but other little things add up to make getting the computer asking for a 25% tip annoying read more

The place was busy but the service was timely and pleasant. Had the eggs Benny with ham and it was terrific. Ordered a side of bacon well done but it was thin and fatty; not crisp. The home fries were terrible. Mushy cubes of potatoes that looked like they were seasoned but simply had orange coloring and no taste. Will try the tots next time. Really hope for improvements in bacon and home fries front. Service staff was really great. Hope to make this my go to breakfast place. Will try again. read more

This place is legit. Been here 3 times since the opening, and I'm very happy with everything they offer. The staff is also wonderful.

Absolute great food n service . Deli king chefs in the back that know what's good . Lunch meals look bomb too
