Rooster & The Crow

We love the southern food.
From the fried chicken, the fried green tomatoes, to the banana pudding.
I highly recommend the Rooster & The Crow.
The staff are very friendly.
The restrooms are clean.
They do have you park in the Chandler’s Wharf lot next door.
See the host & they will give you a code to park for free.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So first off, the place was packed.
We waited 30-45 minutes to get a seat.
After that it took about 15 minutes before a waiter came to us.
He apologized and said he would make it up to us and he did, so it made things better.
Now for the food.
For the chicken, we rate every fried chicken we try against the fried chicken at The Pirate House in Savannah GA.
What we think is the best we have ever had.
This chicken was a close number 2 to that.
It was crispy, juicy, and had tons of flavor.
The mac n cheese was very good, above average even.
My wife loved her chicken n waffles but said it was better with my chicken instead of tge breast it comes with.
Her collards she said had a great flavor but they were spicy and she wasn't sure what was in them.
I did have the Relaxin Rooster drink and it was delicious.
Our bill was under 50 before tip so we felt it was a great deal for the quality and amount of food you get.
We will definitely come back here another time.

This is our new go to spot in Wilmington! The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding.
I saw the 100% sanitation grade and made a comment to my kids about how hard that actually is to get, so I was impressed. River made sure our glasses were never empty, answered all of our questions with clear knowledge of the menu, and he checked on us often enough without it being too much.
My husband is a former kitchen manager and I'm a former restaurant GM so I can say with experienced confidence that employees like River are the ones that keep people coming back! Thank you all so much for the wonderful experience, we will be back for sure.
