Crust Kitchen & Cocktails

Ordered with Emily for an office lunch (6 people) Two entrees were with vegan cheese and on gluten free bread, two things you don’t find a lot of downtown. The vegan cheese was the best I’ve found in town. It was delicious! Others ate the Jurassic Pork, Bada Bing Lasagna and the Dragonheart, not a bite was left uneaten. One person is now a lifetime fan of Bacon Jam! We will definitely be eating here again and soon! Thank you again to Emily and the staff! So glad y’all are downtown!

I had the Mel B which is vegan and it was delicious! My husband built his own and says it was too greasy - but he's the one who added the Impossible Burger 🍔 patty, so I think that is on him🤣. Also, in my opinion, a grilled cheese has to be a little bit greasy. And this is a very nice grilled cheese place. My only complaint was that I found the music to be a bit too loud.

Oh..... My.....gosh... The most amazing grilled cheeses that my wife and I have ever had. I'm so sad we missed Vegan Wednesday, but we will definitely be back for that! I recommend the vegan grilled cheese, it's too die for. Thank you Crust!!

I just found another place in Wilmington that blends semi-exotic flavors with modern art...and it's a masterpiece. This place? Crust Kitchen & Cocktails. FOOD: Ok.....alright and...ok, again. Crust has the goodies. Paying homage to the once-famous "Beef on Weck" from the now-closed South College Deli, Crust introduced me to their "Ghostface Fillah" sandwich with a side of mac & cheese. My first bite took me right back inside S. College Deli when I first tried that famous sandwich. This GF (with vegan mayo) is as close to, if not better than that Beef on Weck. This sandwich included shaved ribeye steak, aged mozzarella & provolone cheese blend, au jus, horseradish, arugula, caraway seeds and sea salt sourdough bread! This sandwich is close to perfect when you're searching for that one, nostalgic mixture. MUST TRY!! The mac & cheese side was solid. Although it's not the absolute best of mac & cheeses I've enjoyed...it was still good. If the cheese would have been slightly less on the thick side with some additional, light seasoning...it could have reached full potential. I also tasted the Home Alone Cheese Sandwich with a legendary bacon jam! Just saying this now...I enjoyed that bite so much that I had to ponder which Sandwich was better. I still do not have a conclusion to that question. Also featured was the "Perfect Strangers" appetizer (Roasted 'shrooms. Marinated olives. Artichoke Hearts. Boursin Cheese. Fresh Herbs. Grilled Naan Bread.). This Mediterranean Antipasto was a clean and refreshing start to our meal, not to mention delicious. All around? Crust Wow'd me! SCORE: 4.8 STARS!! SERVICE: We entered inside the restaurant, masked up, where it appeared we were the only patrons at that moment. We were greeted and seated out on the back patio area for outdoor seating and greeted by Bryn. Bryn practiced safe, social distancing and was properly masked throughout. She was friendly, personable, confident in Crust's products and was thorough with check-ins, refills. We also met the acquaintance of General Manager, Nikki. Nikki was equally as friendly, appreciative and awesome. Smiles everywhere. Prompt service. Good vibes in the face of a pandemic. SCORE: 5 STARS!! OVERALL SCORE: Crust Kitchen and Cocktails will be a go-to place for me in the near-future. You left a nice, first impression for this foodie. Thank you again for the amazing food, incredible service and making me so full I may not eat again for days! 4.9 STARS!!

We ate here for the first time last weekend and absolutely loved the food!! I had the Home Alone with cheddar, provolone and fried chicken. I also got a side of tots and tomatoe soup. My better half got the Lumiere and a side of tomatoe soup. Everything was amazing! The staff was friendly and kept our needs filled at the table. Everyone followed Covid regulations, wore mask and maintained social distancing. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of products. They have seating out back too and the area is Beautiful! I would highly recommend Crust if you are in the downtown Wilmington area!!

We had the Fresh Prince and Pimento Cheese fries. Everything was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to try one of their awesome custom cocktails next time.
