Rusty Loftin
Great small town atmosphere and the food was great! I'm going in a little earlier next time and enjoy their lox a d bagels! 😉
Alexandra Bearsnaxx
Okay so I LOVE this place. I'm so sad I just recently moved and will no longer be able to get my staple B.L.E.S.T [BLT with homemade egg salad 🤤] I was in there at least 2 times a week. Chef Matt is a joy and a talent. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the Wilmington area!
