Reel Grilled Cheese with Swiss, cheddar , goat cheese and pesto was crazy good.
Check out the website ReelCafe Wilmington on Facebook and the concert series Saturdays on the rooftop and comedy on Wednesday and Thursday !!
Vegetarians : get the portobello entree but get swiss instead of feta and get it on a bun . Yum.

Fantastic porch to dine outside. Oysters and seared tuna were incredible! Cheap Fat Tire on draft . Great atmosphere after a day on the beach . Read more
Fried Oysters were awesome. The sauce that came with kicked them up a notch.
Best crab cakes ever--server was great--not a quick place to grab a bite tho--great patio and drinks
Had a fun Tuesday night on the patio with some live music and drink specials !
Try the crab cakes . The perfect amount of meat.
Lol this is an average spot. Bottom floor is a basic American restaurant while the upstairs is a free for all college bar . Decent food; better options elsewhere.
GRILLED CHEESE WITH PESTO , BACON , AND TOMATO !!!
Great shrimp n grits
Why the outside bar isn't open on Saturdays is just ridiculous. Chill venue though.
If they have mahi - mahi , get it and get it blackened!
The reel grilled cheese !
Avalon residents get 1/2 priced appetizers every Wednesday during May!
Loved the atmosphere and music !
Great food!
