The place is new has been open less than a month. FINALLY another brewpub in Wilmington! Weve been stuck with one brewpub choice for too long and we needed something new, different and better. Wilmington has its share of really great taprooms, but not brewpubs with a full menu. My wife and I and our son went, stepping inside right off the bat you can tell they put some thought into this place. It looks great inside and is nice and open in seating. All of us got something off the menu and everything was great. Me personally I got the fried chicken dinner, I love fried chicken but have never ordered it in a nice sit down restaurant. But this fried chicken is great and made with love! My wife and son got the Pesto chicken sandwich and the Chicago Dog with fries. Everything including the sides were tasty, you can tell all of the food is made fresh and mostly from scratch. The wife and I got a few beers they brew also, a Mosaic Session, a stout, a Scottish Ale and all were good and went down easy. All in all, we had a great meal in a great setting with a few beers and it didnt break the bank. So, we really enjoyed our visit.

Went down to Wilmington to visit my parents (Im from NJ) and decided to try this place. The service was excellent. The serving portions were huge. We went for brunch and I got the sausage, potato and cheese stuffed empanadas topped with sausage gravy and a fried egg. It was amazing. The meal was so large that I ate it for brunch and dinner. Now on to the beer. I have a preconceived idea of what an IPA should taste like ...juicy, citrus and dank. We have gone to about 6 breweries in the Wilmington area and Ive had good porters and stouts but never a good IPA ... until Bills Front Porch. The Profusion 3.0 was perfect. A single IPA so only 5.5%. They call it a NE IPA and they hit the nail on the head. I go frequently to Vermont so we always have stock of Heady Topper or Sip of Sunshine in my house. Also fortunate enough to live only a couple of hours from Magnify in New Jersey. If Bills makes this a staple there is only one brewery I will go to when Im down in Wilmington again.

Food was good and service was alright, got two beers that were almost only 3/4 full and the rest foam and we waited 30-45 minutes for our 1 appetizer and then integer 45 for our food and it wasnt even busy. Also they put us at a table and water was dripping on us the whole time. *Update* Much better experience the second time! I was hesitant to go back since I wrote the review while I was there and a waitress came up and pointed out to me the review I wrote and that had us all feeling uncomfortable. But as a restaurant owner myself I feel like the constructive criticism is good to have and its not to be mean but to make the business thrive. But second experience was great, food was so good! Of course Ill be back!

I can see why Bills Front Porch has award winning wings! Wing and Beer lovers need to check this place out. I sampled four beers and I enjoyed each one. I really liked the Mango Wheat. The atmosphere was great and more importantly the CUSTOMER SERVICE was beyond EXCEPTIONAL! My girlfriend is vegan so she order the tofu pesto burger without pesto since it contains cheese.. she wasnt a fan of it but the waitress Katelyn quickly noticed and got her the 3 bean burger instead, it was just right. The fries are on point too! Keep up the good work!

We came Friday and I got a chicken sandwich it was very good and golden brown. We came back today and got takeout (2 chicken sandwiches), they both were very over cooked. So we brought them back and the manager was very nice. Offered a gift card or for them to make 2 different sandwiches. We opted for 2 more sandwiches because they were very good on Friday. We get to the car and they both were burnt again.

Waited a really long time after being seated to be served. My wife and I almost left and once we ordered drinks they took quite sometime to come out as well. After that the experience got a little better. The food and beer was good but they need to work on their service. I would have been a little more understanding but half the tables were empty and they seemed to be adequately staffed.

This place is still fairly new, as far as a brewpubs go, and the beers keep getting better. The last visit I had the fried chicken dinner and it was great: three pieces of chicken, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes and hush puppies. More than enough food, good quality and at $10.99 you cant beat it!

Awesome beer selection, probably one of the best fried chicken plates Ive had. Other food is good also. Although some of their sandwiches are difficult to eat and end up falling apart, not a huge deal. Limited brunch menu but the empanadas and shrimpngrits are very good

If youre a fan of excellent craft brews and tasty vittles, this is your spot. The food is amazing and the menu is eclectic, so theres something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and quick to make suggestions if you cant decide between all the awesome choices.

A fun place to grab a bite and try some house made brews. Some of the beer is average, but a few of their offerings are really good, like the Mosaic IPA. The food we ordered was really good, and our server was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable about the beer.

I did not know this place existed until a bar tender at another brewery enlightened us to check it out. It was a spur of the moment stop I made in my Wilmington Brewery tour. The chicken is absolutely phenomenal and is very addictive.

Great restaurant! The atmosphere was very nice and updated. I went with a friend and shared the spinach and artichoke dip, amazing! I got the 3 bean burger and it was delicious. Service was superb as well.

Classic burger was delicious! The single fried chicken melts in your mouth. The double down chocolate town stout is very smooth with an excellent chocolatey finish. The service tonight was amazing!

Good fresh pub food selections. Dishes are well made and nicely plated. Beers are brewed in house with quite a few nice beers to choose from. A very good beercation food stop.

Came here worth my wife for lunch. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Wilmington. Roundabout ESB was perfect, as well as the food. Will be returning soon
