Reviews for Reel Cafe in Wilmington, NC
We got sat immediately then waited 45 minutes to order drinks, never got the drinks then 15-20 minutes later a different waiter... came and took our appetizer order, then almost immediately they came and took our entree order. Another 10-15 minutes passedwith no drinks or food and someone came and told us that it would be an hour and a half before our food would even start beingprepared. I just wish they could've let us know from the start so we didn't wait so long. Read more
This used to be one of our favorite places to stop in and eat when in town but the last visit we were treated to warm, flat beer... and sloppy burgers so I doubt we will be back. We ordered the Carolina burgers and they put the chili and slaw in the bottomwhich made them soggy. Read more
Great downtown spot to get dinner or a few drinks! Has outdoor seating, a karaoke bar on the second floor, and live music most... weekends on the rooftop. Also great spot for movie lovers?had some signed paraphernalia(One Tree Hill, Dawson?s Creek) etc. andhad a specialty drink menu featuring themed movie cocktails from locally filmed projects. Our waitress said it was a popularspot for college kids during the semester but wasn?t too crowded on the Saturday night we went during the summer. Read more
Waitress was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Service was very fast and the sweet tea was great. The pimento cheese dip... was kickin' and the shrimp and grits platter is a must try. The only thing that brings this rating down is the bathrooms weregross and very WET. It could be a hazardous situation and someone can fall. Read more
Service was really great. Waitress, Lily, made a point to be very kind and attentive to our needs. The food was great. Also,... accidentally left my credit card behind and Lily was nice enough to flag me down to return it. Really outstanding service andcare for the customer. Read more
Great specials on this Friday, May 6, 2022. They make great fish sandwiches, flounder Po'Boy, mahi in a pita and tuna burger,... all delicious. Read more
Nice place, even for lunch, but DO NOT order the pulled pork. It is very dry and tastes like wet cardboard. I do wish the... waitress would have warned me, as they know and have heard the complaints. Apparently the chef disagrees with customer feedbackand refuses to do anything about it. I did not finish my sandwich, but it was removed from the Bill luckily. The Mahi Mahi wrapthat my wife had was amazing however. Read more
The blonde female bartender ignored me and would not serve me. I am typing this while at this location, I was told I was cut off... due to me rolling my eyes while she ignored me. I have never had such an awful experience at a bar. I was cut off 5 minutes ago.I am perfectly fine and do not deserve to be cut off. If I was not ignored, this would not happen. I am assuming this is due toher serving males rather than females, as she served males at the bar that arrived after me. Anyone reading this post canprobably understand I am coherent enough to not be cut off and I believe it was unfair treatment. However, the other bartenderswere very kind. The male bartender that served me earlier told me I was cut off and seemed confused as to why she chose to cutme off and said he has to respect his coworker, he was respectful and I just simply asked to close my tab since I was cut off.The bar was a fun atmosphere and enjoyable time. I hope the blonde female bartender on the second floor does not ruin my nightnext time I come to the bar. Read more
