So happy my son picked the Rooster & The crow for Mother’s Day Brunch! The host who seated us was was very friendly it definitely starts at the front door and sometimes can make her break a meal for sure! Millie was our server and she was just the best. Great service knowledgeable, so friendly patient and kind. Thank you Millie ! I think I had one of the best cocktails in a very long time. I believe it was called the tequila Daisy. I have eaten here for dinner a few times, but never for brunch. Definitely a winner. Will be back for sure. One of my favorites in downtown Wilmington!!

Absolutely loved our visit to Rooster & The Crow! Everything was spot on—from the warm service to the delicious food. The atmosphere had a laid-back, cozy vibe that made us feel right at home. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they care about quality and presentation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience—this place gets it all right!

We came on a Sunday around noon. No tables were available so we sat at the bar. Ordered two drafts, Lump Crab Benedict and Chicken & Beignets. Benedict was a decent size with loads of crab on top of a delicious biscuit. I enjoyed it. The wife’s chicken was crispy on the outside but still moist and not overcooked on the inside. Win!!! Both of our sides were unremarkable and helped fill out tummies. No complaints. We left nice and full.

We were on a marriage retreat from our church and it was our first time eating at the restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Brian was amazing and he made us feel so welcomed. Will definitely be back and would love to have Brian service us again.

Went with a family group and we all ordered the fried chicken with different sides. Brought home enough to have a leftover meal. Portions are huge. Waiters were fun and engaging. A walk on the Riverwalk after such a big meal was so needed.

Good food and great customer service. Nice ambiance and close to the downtown and Cape fear. Our server, River, was really attentive and took great care of us. Highly recommend.

Located in Chandler's Wharf on the Cape Fear River... this restaurant has a nice interior decor with friendly staff. We had the fried chicken (one of their more famous dishes) and Bacon, Lettuce, and Fried Green Tomato sandwich with sweet Potatoe waffle fries. The wine and mixed drinks were excellent. We'll be back!
