    Shrimp and grits
    April L.

    Always a good time at WB brewery! We came in on a Friday night with 4 adults and 1 kiddo. It was pretty busy and loud but we're seated right away. Service was great and we tried a few beers before deciding on a pint. Thankfully, we put our kids meal in early and it came out fast. It was nice they offered vegetables for the kids and the curly fries were delicious. We had the shrimp and grits which had great flavor and was filling. The oyster app totally had a southern flare with collards and was really good. We'll definitely be back.

    What a gem! We had dinner here on Friday after checking into our Airbnb just a few blocks away. I originally planned to walk, but Greenville Rd did not have a lot of sidewalks so we just drove the 2 minutes! We arrived a little later, about 9pm so it was not super crowded or busy and were seated right away inside. It's got your standard brewery vibes - light Our waitress Paige (with an "I") was super fun and friendly. She gave us her persona recommendations and was attentive throughout the meal. I started with the spicy margarita (it had a great kick to it) while my partner and friends ordered a beer and a flight. For the main course, we decided on the carnivora pizza and the sweet heat pizza. Both were a hit! Good portions, we got through pretty much everything and left very full and satisfied. I enjoyed my drink and switched over to wine after. I'm glad I found this spot and I would definitely come back on our next beach trip. They have burgers, sandwiches, and other entrees I'd definitely like to try. But I'm sure I'd get a pizza for the table still because the pies are tasty! @azfitfoodfun

    I love Wrightsville Beach brewery! Their food is so delicious, service is wonderful and I love that they have curly fries. They have variety on the menu, everyone is bound to find something they like. Great for drinks too.

    We go here so often, that we stopped going for a while because we worried we'd grow tired of it. We recently returned, and it was as good as always. I love their burgers so much! Their curly fries are perfect! The service is also consistently good.

    You wouldn't think a brewery would have some of the best seafood in town but WBB checks all the boxes. Indeed, the food is actually better than the beer, IMHO. Shrimp and grits are a don't-miss, as is their mahi mahi. Shrimp poboy is a massive portion. Seafood stew ? You better opt for the cup, as the bowl is an entree in itself. Pizza ? Yeah, the locals line up for it. Now, back to the beer, which is the only downer, as the pilsner, kolsch, and lager offerings are few and lack the flavor profile they once had. Both the kolsch choices I tried were flat and disappointing. The only pilsner of note was more of an IPA, almost seemed to be misnamed. Anyway, that being said, if you are an IPA fan, they probably have you covered. Overall, however, WBB is still my go-to for excellent food and friendly service.

    Fish tacos with veggies

    Had a great experience here. Food, atmosphere and service all amazing. We had Paige as our server and she was friendly and gave some good suggestions for the menu. We tried the tempura cauliflower with two of the sauces on the side instead of choosing one, and having the whole plate coated. The sauces were both very tasty and had a nice spicy kick. Delicious. For entrees we had the fish tacos and a short rib pizza. Flavors were great together and the short rib on pizza was so good. Not a huge fan of beer so I cannot speak about their offerings but other diners definitely were enjoying the beer. We stuck with sweet tea for this visit. Give the WB Brewery a try when you are by the beach. Even in December, the place was busy, so that is always a plus.

    The food was fresh & delicious; I had the hummus wrap. Their sparkling water had the word "death" in the title.. so I skipped a beverage. It wasn't crowded on a Tuesday lunch time; service was prompt. Nice to know another place to get a substantial vegan meal!

    I love everything about this place. I don't know why, but everything just works. The food is very good, the service is always outstanding, and the beers are super tasty. Even with all of the great breweries in Wilmington, this is my daughter and my first choice when it comes to an experience. I highly recommend for everybody.

    Po' Boy Sandwich

    Saturday, we found this place randomly on our way to the beach. A huge sign said, Wrightsville Beach Bewery. We were happy to discover this place. They worked with N. Sea Oysters, a place from Hampstead, NC well know for high quality oysters in the area. We tried a couple of oysters and the Po' Boy Sandwich with fried oysters inside. The sandwich was pretty good. My wife chose the Mahi Mahi Tacos which were good and filling as well. Prices were very reasonable (50 bucks for Oysters and 2 main dishes). Many beers were on the menu but we opted for an alcohol-free lunch. One more thing to say, quick service and quality local products (especially the seafood and the alcohol). The merch was dope, with the oyster logo with the name of the business. I bought a cream-colored long-sleeve shirt for only $30.

    We drive by here every time we're in Wilmington but never realized it was a place I'd also bookmarked here on Yelp. We stopped by last Monday for lunch with our pup, Sunny. We sat on the patio, which is at the entrance and basically in the parking lot, but we weren't uncomfortable. Nearly every party that left the restaurant stopped by to pet Sunny or make a friendly comment so we felt very welcomed. Service was really friendly and effective. As soon as we were sat, the server brought Sunny a bowl of water. Really thoughtful and appreciated. The food was *mainly* standard pub fare but really fresh. I enjoyed an appetizer & salad. The app was 4 perfectly fried oysters, each one atop some really tasty collards. It was a nice nod to the South. My salad was good and my husband enjoyed his burger. As you would expect, beer is king here. They have a huge selection of their (and other) local brews. One thing you wouldn't expect though, but I really appreciated, was the selection of low & no alcohol brews. But I was super impressed with the selection of 0 proof cocktails. As mentioned, totally unexpected but love it!

    Arrived late after driving from Phila on our way to Charleston. We were seated immediately which was a plus after the 9 hour drive. Our waitress, Parker, was very helpful, she offered me a beer (IPA) that wasn't on the menu yet and helped us make our food selection. Fish tacos for my wife and daughter and I had the fried shrimp. Everything was good, not great, we cleaned our plates. Food was fresh and nicely presented. We also split a mixed green salad. The beer was called Ales for ALS, certainly a good cause and a decent IPA but not hazy or citrusy. The parking lot is treacherous, deep pot holes and ruddy, be careful. A layer of gravel would be nice so you don't have to track in wet dirt on your shoes.

    A number of solid options -- cheers!

    Great Beer 'n Service -- couldn't make my mind up, so the flight was alright! If you're in NC -- get here

    Fried oysters with collard green kimchi
    Julie S.

    Do yourself a favor and eat here!!! Wonderful beer on tap ( recommend the Dub Lager and Blood Orange Cider). The pizza is delicious!! We had the Margherita and the Carnivore. So good!! The crust is both chewy and crunchy. We also had the fried oysters with kimchi collards. The oysters were perfectly cooked and I could eat a bowl of the kimchi by itself. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The young lady at the hostess stand offered to look for long sleeved t shirts in my size when I was browsing. I didn't even have to ask. She was the sweetest ( I bought 2 shirts ). Our waitress was amazing!! She was kind and attentive. We had a wonderful dinner. Come here for the best pizza in Wrightsville Beach and great local beer served at the perfect temperature!

    Is Brunch Saturday and Sunday? Or just Sunday.

    Are there cocktails or ciders on the menu?

    Yes! Both. Cheers

    Are they dog friendly indoors?

    Unfortunately, due to health department regulations, because we have full kitchen no animals are allowed inside. We do have outdoor tables and a large beer garden for dogs though.

The space, equal parts cozy taproom and shaded beer garden, feels both vibrant and homey. If you're reading this and asking yourself what is the region's native icon, the Venus Flytrap - we have catching up to do. Read history below the review. The mood was easygoing. Two staff members, juggling orders with grace, kept the taps moving and the vibe relaxed. We had the Oatmeal Porter (dark, smooth, layered with chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel) And the Brook's Mulberry Lemonade (a blend of house-made lemonade and beer, fermented with mulberries hand-picked from Brook's garden). Both were super delicious. Flytrap Brewing sits tucked in a quiet Wilmington neighborhood, and it feels like it belongs there. The thoughtful drinks, easy crowd, and unpretentious energy, we will for sure be back! History: The Venus flytrap, scientifically known as Dionaea muscipula, is native to a limited area of the southeastern United States.

It's a bit off the beaten path, but not a long walk from the River Walk or Main Street at all. I did miss the bigger fly traps in the back, and the ones inside were smaller (and a different kind) than I was expecting. Still, this place has a really cool, chill, and fun vibe. Highly, highly recommend.
