I feel like everyone should know,I was once a waitress here and I would like to explain why she can not keep workers. Ms. Maxine literally takes all of our tips regardless of the amount. She claims she has to tax them however she does way more then that. She only pays 5$ per hour and then states that the tips is what will help. However if she literally is taking our tips we in reality are only making 5$ an hour. While working with her I can say the burgers and lemonade are fresh and delicious. As far as the racist comment witnessed from another person she is indeed racist as most people born in her era are. I don’t believe she realized I’m biracial and she constantly made racist remarks while I was working with her.
Pretty sure this place is permanently closed. Haven't seen it open in the last 9 months
Completely disappointed. 2 cold hot dogs and 2 gross and cold grilled cheeses for 50 bucks? How do you even serve that. At least make it a good meal. Unbelievable. Sad to say the least.
Nice little cafe and good food
Excellent burgers fries. And I’m not a fry person. Definitely will visit next time in Wilmington.
Super super sweet lady/owner who was very helpful. The burger special was very very good. Menu is limited currently due to same as for everyone.
Please update Pender Cafe website. Was looking forward to a good breakfast... walked up and was informed that opening is at 11:00 for lunch only.
Nice diner with delicious burgers it's like your own home cooking the fries were also good homemade french fries and burgers fresh condiments the tomatoes were so good staff friendly
Great food ! A landmark for 45 years
Tiny little spot downtown- has a great history and story. Inexpensive great spot to get lunch.
