Chelsea Tavern

Food was really good! Server was great and informative. Portions were large and reasonably priced. They force tip to be included at 20% (18% to server and 2% to “cover cost of running the business”). I completely hate that, I would have given the server more than 18% and the cost of running the business should be built into the food cost. Overall a great place to go.

Awesome place. Stopped by for Brunch while visiting. George is an AWESOME waiter, Bartender was great on Mixology for the drinks, Food was Spectacular!!! Will definitely visit again!!!

My girlfriend and I try to get here at least once or twice a month or get food to go. I'm not even exaggerating here...this place has got the best burgers I've ever had. Prices are more than reasonable, never had any problems with service, and the food is great! They have a nice little bar too if that's your thing. Can't recommend them enough for an affordable night out with great food!

We went without a reservation, but were able to get a table for 3. We got some mixed drinks that were all pretty potent and affordable). The bartender/waitress was really friendly and kept on top of our drinks, food and refilling water. The food was really good. I got the Million Dollar Baby burger that they said had won some awards. Given the wonderful taste, I believe it. The nachos were really tasty too!

I’ve been by it so many times and I finally decided to go Friday evening. We went for Happy Hour , but learned it was only in the bar area. That’s ok, next visit 🤣 but we sat in the dining room and it was very nice. The food was good and the drinks were good as well. Next time I’ll check the outside. Will definitely come back for brunch because I heard it was pretty awesome!

I walked into this place off the street after coming from the Wilmington Public Library. The brunch menu has a large variety and drink specials galore. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I was able to sit at the bar with one of the best mimosas I had in a while.

Chelsea Tavern has one of the best cheeseburgers around. Their menu is diverse and delicious, and you gotta catch their Sunday Brunch. From May to September, their themed Cigar Dinners are a summer favorite(Pics included in post are from various cigar dinners and Sunday brunch.)

Food was great, I ordered the California Ruben and my wife ordered the Crab Cake sandwich. Our kiddos got burgers and chicken tenders all of which was hot and very delicious.

Being a family of 6 eating out anywhere has gotten very expensive, we sadly didn’t get to try any appetizers as we wanted to keep our tab low. Service fee or not I’m glad we got to stop by to enjoy a local restaurant that’s better than the typical chain.

Side note, restrooms are down a pretty large set of stairs I didn’t ask if they had any wheelchair or handicap accessible bathrooms.

Don't be overwhelmed but this place has a ton of beers on tap and the food coming out of the kitchen looked really good. I can only image the crowd this place will have on St. Patty's Day. Go to this place and let it marinate you won't be disappointed.

Came here for brunch with my boyfriend. Mimosas are strong and pleasantly tasteful. I highly recommend the smokehouse breakfast. The portion size for the price is well worth it and it was flavorful. They also dont mind you making substitutions to the plates. Fast service.

Stopped in for a bite to eat, it wasn't busy. But waitress seemed rushed and unattentive. But otherwise had a great meal with beautiful weather for the patio.

They saved my Mother's day! I had forgotten my wallet and had to cancel my reservation, but the amazing staff (I want to say, Ken?) really went above and beyond and was able to find me a reservation. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our waitress, Kaitlyn was great! I was debating between two meals and Kaitlyn suggested the Chelsea BLT. It was delicious and so huge! This is definitely going to be on my go to list!!

I wish I could give a higher rating for service. Despite how busy the restaurant was before the show across the street at The Grand, the service was great and so customer oriented. Everyone was working together to make is a great experience, from the management, servers, kitchen and so on. Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Oh and that award winning brisket burger is beyond incredible!

Went for a quick bite and drink and ended up staying about 2 hours because Rob the bartender was so down to earth and personable. Great spot to go with someone or alone during the day. Haven't gone at night but I'll definitely be back.

Everyone was wearing masks, seated at least 6 feet apart and the areas were being wiped down and sanitized in between customers. Even though that has become the norm, not all eating establishments are following that protocol. The food was delicious! We loved everything we ordered and the unsweetened iced tea was awesome. The only "complaint" I have is that the roll my burger came on, had such a strong "yeast" taste, it almost overpowered the flavor of the burger itself. It was very dissappointing, but we'll be back.

We went here for dessert and was not disappointed. The cheesecake was delicious. They offer a flourless chocolate cake. My friend said she enjoyed it. The Mac n Cheese balls were good. We also had sangria and it was delish!

Third visit in a month. This time had the Kenneth Square Mushroom Soup, Braised Short Rib and ending with the Giant New York Cheesecake which IS big enough to share. YUMMY meal.

The people who work here are extremely friendly and helpful. The moment I walked in, I was introduced and helped. Plenty of beers to choose from and the mix drink menu weren't holding back. The food is amazing and has a decent price. I'm new in town and only here for business and probably will be frequent this establishment. Cheers!

Great Pre-Show dinner with absolutely fantastic service. We came in at 5:30 for a quick dinner before a show at The Grand across the street. The place was hopping and every table was full, but the staff was friendly, efficient and top-notch. We had the pretzel crullers as a starter (delicious!!) and the Rueben sandwich and the watermelon salad with grilled chicken. The food was great and the portions were huge.
We'll definitely be back the next time we are in Wilmington.

Huge massive selection of beers and liquors, I don't drink but the bar section and the drink menu just looks amazing! A hybrid place not only a pub nor a restaurant, a nice tavern where to eat a quick bite, relaxed atmosphere, cozy lights not too bright, and closer to the pizza oven soft darnkened red colors. Service is great, everyone is kind and polite, after a couple of years I broke my vegetarian streak and I had a steak, meat was delicious the sauce on top not quite as good I remember telling the waitress to 'skip the sauce' as in avoiding putting that she must have forgotten, no biggie, ketchup fixed everything :) Another time I had a pizza, that was good, thin and tasty.
They serve brunch on Sundays, never been there but I'd be curious to see how it is, maybe next time! See ya :)
