Not a very large place and it does a good business, so you may need to wait a bit for an open table like we did. We were given pickle slices to snack on while we waited for our order. But not just any pickles, THESE PICKLES WERE DELICIOUS. Our drinks arrived promptly(the Teaches Peaches beer is probably the best beer I ever had,highly recommend it) as did our yummy smoked salmon deviled eggs. The 10" Casper Pizza I had was fantastic as was my BFs crab cake sandwich with a side of macaroni salad. A great appealing menu selection and good prices. Great food , great service. I'll return to try other selections.

Love this joint! It's fast, fresh Boar's head deli meat deliciousness. Great selection of beer, craft & normal. We've been there for lunch 3 times and have never waited or been disappointed.

Nice casual spot for sandwiches and deli options. Robust menu and fair prices.

Best sandwiches I’ve had since we moved here!! The pickles are so yummy highly recommend asking for some. Great drink selection and a huge menu. Pasta salad wasn’t my favorite but it was good. Servers are so nice and very quick. We sat outside which was great because it was gorgeous out. The building is cool, it has a different vibe than most restaurants. Can’t wait to come back and try more! Definitely recommend this spot if you haven’t tried it.

Do you want to know where the locals go? You found it. Jax is a diner where the locals go for drinks and an inexpensive meal.Don't walk through these doors looking for fast food. You won't find it here. This is good food and inexpensive prices. How do they offer quality at a fair price? They do it with long term staff and locals who can walk through the door and request "The Usual." The night I visited there was one waitress and one manager/cook, and that's okay. You eat here for the experience of getting to know the people around you. You visit with the waitress. Talk to the locals and as soon as you get involved in a good conversation your food shows up. It may take twenty minutes, it may take an hour on a busy night, but that's okay. You came here for the drinks and the people, not for fast food.When your food arrives... It's good. The food is hot, and the prices are low. If you've got the time, this is the place to go.When you walk through the door, there is a "please wait to be seated" sign. We heard a voice from the kitchen yell out "sit anyplace you want." We took a seat at a table and the waitress showed up with the menus. The waitress struck up a conversation about beer and the food. She knew the menu and the bar. She was having a clumsy night, getting used to being pregnant. I decided to order a pizza that reminded me of one of my favorite Mystic Pizzas. One I always buy when I'm in Mystic CT. It's sweet with just the right amount of heat. One of the best tortilla pizzas in town. Light and delicious. The perfect pizza for watching soccer on TV.This is a great place to watch a game, have a conversation, and get fairly priced food.

Great place and customer service. The crab cake pizza was an interesting and delightful combination.

Amazing food. Awesome staff! If you want the best sandwich in town definitely pay this place a visit. I'm new to Wilmington and 3 different people recommend it. They didn't lie!

I came here yesterday during the warm but windy mid afternoon, 03/07.We have never been here before, but we're intrigued to check it out.We came in to be very greeted by the staff who let us pick where we wished to be seated as we chose to sit outside.It was a nice set place to eat on a bench with an umbrella within if needed as we did not this day.We got assisted by our waitress along with the drink and food menu as it was a little slower when we got here, but it was between people getting off work and dinner.We started with just a couple of drinks from their drink menu and some pickles, which were great.When it came time to order, I picked the French Dip as she chose Reubon, with both of us choosing the macroni salad.We talked and relaxed and hung out until our food arrived, and we were delighted by the sight of it once it was in front of us.The food choices we picked were awesome; the food was made to perfection, and so far, it seems you can not go wrong with whatever awesome sandwich choice you pick.We will be back again.

Really cool restaurant with a really cool vibe!!

My wife had the chef's salad, and I had the Mediterranean wrap. Both were delicious and plentiful. The side cole slaw was excellent and our server was very efficient and personable. We'll be back.
