Had a recent lunch at Hell's Kitchen with a friend, who really needed a bit of R & R.
I chose this place after hearing they have the best wings in Wilmington and they did not disappoint!! I got the Honey Chipotle and my friend got the Tangy NC BBQ version and WOW! They were so meaty and delicious. I am generally not a fan of ranch dressing, but theirs is house made with fresh herbs and totally yummy! We started with the Ultimate Nachos, which were also fresh and served with one of the best salsas I have ever tasted. The atmosphere was very comfortable with a warm and friendly vibe. What impressed us the most was the special time that Ron, the kitchen manager, and our server took to ensure we were happy with our food and drink choices. This was a very enjoyable experience overall and truly lifted our spirits. I highly recommend Hell's Kitchen!

Was drawn to this location because it was a spot where Dawsons creek & one tree hill were filmed. Was not too busy (Thursday afternoon) and was nice and air conditioned to escape the 90 degree weather. We had a small plate and entrees. The best parts of the meal included the loaded Mac n cheese with Buffalo chicken. The best I’ve had! The sweet potato fries were also a solid choice. They had a slight dusting of brown sugar and it was so savory and not overly sweet! The wraps we had were alright but nothing too special about them. I really wanted to like the cole slaw because it looked homemade but it had way too much salt to the point it was inedible. Not really any other flavor or spices to it. Not sure if that was typical but would not get that again. Overall, for sure would get the Mac n cheese and sweet potato fries again if I needed a quick bite to eat!

Six of us had lunch on Sunday. The place filled up quickly, as many wanted to watch the football games on tv.
One of my friends said Hell's Kitchen has some excellent pretzels. We all shared two. Really good! Nice and soft in the middle but a little too much salt for for my taste (I just brushed them off), and served with mustard as well as a creamy cheesy dipping sauce.
I had the shrimp tacos. There were three, too much to eat, so transferred the shrimp from one and divided them to the other two tacos. The fries were beer battered. Nicely done!
The mimosa's were OKAY. Too much juice. We asked for waitress to bring our second drinks with the juice on the side so we can pour what we wanted.
Good food and good service. I'd come back again.

The highlight of this visit was Kailey who was very pleasant and provided excellent service. The praise ends there. We had appetizers of Mac 'n Cheese (ok) and the fried pickles which were overly salty. Two of us had fish and chips...the fish was grouper so heavily coated in batter (supposed to have been Panko crumbs) you could hardly find the fish. All was served over greasy fries. The fish tacos were served with the same fried fish...again. not good. Atmosphere was none...we had dripping water from the air ducts above our table. Guess all this is why they call it hells kitchen. A good candidate for Bar Rescue. Won't be back.

When you first walk in you just get told to seat yourself then had someone in unnecessarily tight clothes come to our table. The appetizer was gooey in the center and don’t think it should have been. I was asked how I wanted my burger but definitely didn’t get it cooked that way. My bf chicken sandwiches was dry. The waitress decided to give her all the change we had left as a tip instead of bringing it back to our table. Very disappointed in this dining and don’t plan on going back.

In the heart of the historic downtown area of Wilmington situated in the middle of Princess Street Is an unpretentious brew pub serving traditional bar food. I keep finding tiny impressions such as a vintage decor, the most odd and unique straws, kosher silverware and locally brewed beers. Our fish tacos were fresh, however we did not like the flour tortilla wraps. Our preference is corn because we are diabetic. Tomatoes, red onion, and wood grilled shrimp surprised us for average bar food. Try something you would not as we were persistently impressed during our time at Hell's Kitchen.

I went on a Thursday, just before noon. I ordered 6 wings for lunch, couldn't finish the last one. Wings are of good size, on the large end. I ordered mild buffalo and it was still kind of hot, but a sweet hot. They came in a paper lined basket with blue cheese and celery and plenty of napkins. Service was good, Krystal was my server. She was very pleasant (and cute too!) Food came in a matter of minutes and the two minute check back was on point. Hells kitchen is more of a sports bar, well worn in, but clean. There were probably 12 beers on tap and a full bar. Face masks were worn by all, but I could take mine off while eating. They have tables separated as well as bar stools. Every other booth was sectioned off. Overall, I would recommend this place to a friend. The menu was varied and they have vegan options.

They seem to lack the waitstaff/servers needed when we went. Our server was super awesome but so stressed. You can tell the kitchen was not producing good stuff as we had to send it back and they made the wrong items. Cannot serve chicken wings to a vegetarian..... She took all the steps to ensure we had a great experience. Was surprised the manager did not come over to talk with our table. Felt safe from a social distance view point as the tables were not close by and the employees wore masks.

We’d been looking forward to eating at Hell’s Kitchen, especially since they have vegan options. The atmosphere was fine, servers were nice, but the food was terrible. Our party ordered fish tacos, an impossible burger, a fried chicken wrap, and a grilled cheese. The fries were ok, but nothing else was good. The fish tacos were inedible.

Really enjoyed the wonderful food all of it was hot and yummy. We were warned that they were understaffed and the food did take a little while but it was worth the wait. The chicken tenders were excellent and the fish tacos as well as the chicken and beef fajitas wraps were great! Staff was very professional and friendly!

Service was really good and the staff very friendly and helpful. Food was wonderful. I had fish and chips, my husband had shrimp, fish, and tater tots, and a friend had a chicken sandwich. Not a problem with any of it. Was served hot and delicious!

Was recently taking a stroll down memory lane in Wilmington and stumbled across this place. I looked it up and saw that it had good reviews, so we decided to stop in and give it a shot. We arrived at 11:15 and were greeted upon entering. We ordered drinks, apps, and entrees. During our visit we had a couple problems with the food that we ordered. After telling the waitress of the problems, their General Manager Drew came by the table to speak with us regarding the problems. Drew not only fixed the problems , but he was extremely sincere with the whole situation.

Stopped by Wilmington (Hollywood of the East) and decided to get dinner at the restaurant that has been used in scenes from Dawson’s Creek, One Tree Hill and more recently The Summer I Turned Pretty. Staff were friendly. Food was standard American pub fare. We enjoyed our visit to Hell’s Kitchen.

This is an absolute must for anyone visiting the area around Caesars Palace. We had the Prix Fixe menu with wine pairing for the full HK experience. We eat out a lot and this was hands down the best experience and the best meal we have ever had. The beef Wellington was even better than I imagined.
