If you’re craving authentic Southern comfort food, The Basics is a must-visit! 🌟 Located in vibrant Wilmington, it offers a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

Their fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, paired perfectly with creamy mac and cheese. Don't miss their sweet tea - it's the best I've had in a while!

Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours, but trust me, the food is worth it! I can’t wait to return! 🥳
