Excellent beer lineup, delicious food and great friendly service. Family friendly establishment.
We ate here 3 times while vacationing in Wrightsville Beach. Some of the highlights include:
-the gumbo was so on point! A little spicy, authentic Cajun style
-tuna appetizer, super fresh and well prepared
-the rocket salad
-chicken posole
-tater tots
-the burger
-the chicken and biscuit (brunch) (get the heirloom tomatoes side - they are farmers market fresh)
As for the beer, I really like the ESB and the Porter. My husband liked the Soundside Pale Ale. Either way, get a flight and taste them all. Their brewer is doing some things right.
Seriously the best food I’ve had thus far in Wrightsville Beach/Willmington and the best beer! Highly recommend the shrimp po’boy and the ESB beer.
They have some of the best appetizers in town. I love the home made hummus with fresh baked pita bread, the pretzel bites are also great. You can't go wrong with their apps. Their main courses are also really good although the burgers are a bit on the greasy side. The beer is great and the out door (dog friendly) patio is huge. This is 1 of my favorite breweries in ILM.
We stopped by this place out of curiosity and were extremely pleased with everything- the servers and the outdoor area were great. The food was exceptional (I had the Dolly sandwich with chicken instead of beef- but has the option of doing a double patty or double chicken breast) was AMAZING! That will be my “go to” every time I come here. Do yourself a favor and try this place, you won’t be disappointed!
Loved this place! The waitstaff and management were very friendly and engaging. The beer and drink selection was dynamite and everyone enjoyed their food.
Good kids menu with large portions.
They brew their own beer but also offer additional beer options. They have a pretty deep cocktail menu as well; I really enjoyed my old fashioned.
Lots of indoor and outdoor space here and they were able to accommodate our large party.
Steph and Morgan were very engaging and I appreciate their service!
Also, they offer 32oz growlers...a perfect to go option that they'll attach the lid right in front of you.
It was a great spot to dine post-beach and I look forward to returning.
Great find, some of the best beer in Wilmington. Got a flight of five beers, we let bartender John pick the last of the five and it wound up being our favorite - the coffee ale. Potent at 9.2% ABV but delicious. Great outdoor space, didn't eat but food looked fantastic.
Great service, great food, overall good experience. We sat out on the deck and everything was spaced out well and the restaurant clearly was following COVID related guidelines accordingly. Everything was clean looking and the food was excellent. I had grouper fish tacos that were delicious with a dark stout that was great! Our server was friendly and pretty fast based on how busy it was for Sunday lunch time. I also got peel and eat shrimp (sorry for the unsatisfying after photo) I forgot to take the before as I simply devoured them. They were delicious! The whole experience was great, I would definitely go here to hangout with family and friends and just get beers, but it’s good to know they serve great food.
If you're in Wrightsville Beach you have to check out Watermans! They have great beers and absolutely amazing food. Enjoy both al fresco on their massive deck area or beer garden. Our server was TJ and he was fantastic. Made some great recommendations and was very attentive. Pet friendly for outside seating.
Good beer, great fried fish 🌮, live band. Wow, awesome experience. The Waterman's Brewery is also a Harvest Host host if you're traveling around in your small RV. Worth a stop. Thank you
Went here for dinner after spending the day at the beach. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. I got a flight of beers and they were all good. We got the blackened tuna tacos and the fish and chips. The fish and chips was very good while the tuna tacos were good. Our waitress was very inattentive and would disappear for long periods of time. Overall good place that I would visit again.
We went for lunch to Waterman’s Brewing with our 10 month old. We arrived right at 11:30. We sat closer to the window and they brought us a high chair. The waitress was very attentive. My boyfriend got the The Eastwood with beef and a side of tater tots. I got the Fish Tacos. I loved the Fish Tacos, I haven’t had a good fish taco in a while! I was very pleased. I got a side of fries. The restaurant is very spacious with a big bar. The restaurant had high ceilings and some games as well. They had a large four square, Jenga and others. The bathroom was clean, there was no changing table however. We really liked the food, we will be back when we come back in town.
This is what I would consider a hidden gem. The food is fantastic, the staff is kind and efficient, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They're kid-friendly as well.
My family goes here all the time. Their Octoberfest is a great time. We've even rented their private Ohana room. They have never once ever disappointed us.
I can't say enough nice things about Waterman's. It's one of our favorite spots in town.
