    Kolsch Krush Pint
    Ben M.

    Kolsch Krysh is phenomenal as always! Vibes inside are electric, perfect post-beach brewery atmosphere

    Such a great afternoon hangout spot. A brewery with amazing food choices and ample seating. They had a live band Saturday afternoon under the trees with plenty of picnic tables to choose from. We chose a table along the building for the dogs to enjoy all of the passerby's heading to grab a beer. The beer and ranch water hit the spot!

    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.

    Crab meat and onion pizza

    Delicious food and drinks. The crab meat pizza is yummy as well as the oysters. The beers and ciders taste great. They have great souvenirs such as candles.

    Fish tacos with veggies
    Christine G.

    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.

    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.

    Garden hummus wrap
    Lisa B.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We all ordered the "tasting" menu each for $90 per person. We were made to think the portions…read morewould be ample for the price. We each got a bowl of gazpacho, an appetizer size portion of two very small duck lumpia followed by tile fish with flat noodles and a savory broth. The course then was a shared short rib that was entirely fat/gross, one smal grilled onion and two tiny empanadas to share . Desert was a small scoop of ice cream and small crumble type cobbler to share. We in no way felt like it was $90, the portions were not enough to sustain us and we felt incredibly cheated and somehow conned/robbed of over $200 for each of us couples out. Very disappointing!

    We decided on a date night out while in town, and have had Jerry's on my list for a little while…read more We made a reservation the night before for Saturday night. Reservations are recommended since the dining room is cozy and they might not be able to accommodate you without one. The place is so cute inside, very cozy with fresh roses on every table. We were seated toward the back against the wall, which is great. This table had comfortable high back chairs that seemed just for the tables for 2. Our server came by and introduced herself and said warm bread was coming. We had filled water glasses and took our order for additional drinks. We had a chance to look over the menu. The menu is small, but has a nice variety of favorites that you will find it easy to choose. I asked if there were any specials, but not on Saturday night. Friday night has a short rib special you could call ahead and reserve. That is a nice tip, since she mentioned they may run out. We decided to start with the tomato basil soup and a Caesar salad. Beautiful presentation on the soup and an amazing flavor. So delicious. The salad is very large and looked great. They brought out a second basket of bread with delicious herb butter. I really had to stop eating the bread! For entrees, we went with the goat cheese crusted grouper, with had beautiful puréed potatoes and squash and zucchini. I wasn't sure if I would like goat cheese with grouper, but it was a fantastic pairing. The scallops were large and crispy on the outside on top of a spinach risotto. So rich and tasty. The grouper paired well with a Pinot Grigio. The server went over the dessert choices and there were several to choose from. We decided on a chocolate toffee mousse cake. So incredibly rich and delicious. If you love chocolate, get this cake. My hubs and I shared one slice and it was enough after a filling dinner. Jerry's is located in a strip mall near the Wrightsville Beach area. It is very unassuming from the outside but, this place does service, atmosphere and food in high standard. They have been here a long time and it's clear the locals love it. This was my first visit, and will definitely return for the next date night or special occasion. 5 stars

    We made another visit here, this time for dinner, and with different friends who have not visited…read moreSouth Front Tavern before. It was great weather this night, so we opted for an outside table that was in total shade. Very comfortable. Our server came by for drink orders. We had no appetizers this visit and went right into entrees. We tried the Port City Burger, the Gnocchi with chicken, cilantro lime shrimp quesadillas and the salmon tacos. Everything was delicious. The only complaint I would have is that the Salmon Tacos was a bit small. The dish is two small tacos with a side of tortilla chips. There is no salsa, no pico de gallo, no slaw. I was actually sorry that I didn't get an appetizer. I was still a little hungry after I finished. We didn't want any of the dessert offered this time. Again, everything was great. Service, food, atmosphere, outside patio. Just my dish was a little less in size. I will keep that in mind next time we visit. I'm not sure something like this would be changed on the menu, but I still wanted to voice my opinion. Still a great place with a great menu and service. If the weather is good, opt for the patio. It is really nice sitting out there.

    2 stars only because food was so good…read more Service was probably some of the worst I've ever had. A table arrived after we got our appetizers and got their food, a box, paid, and left before we even ordered our entrees. Each drink took minimum of 15 minutes and were incorrect. The server had to come back and double check multiple orders. We were not checked on once unless we flagged her down. The list goes on. Will not return unless we order take out.
