Sawmill Restaurant - Southern restaurant (US) in Wilmington - 5611 Carolina Beach Rd, USA

We have been coming to CB for over 20 years now and have never ate here until now - and I could kick myself for that! 🤦🏻‍♀️It was sooooo delicious and very affordable - with the Early bird Special (3-5pm) - we enjoyed it so much that we came back 2 days in a row! The service was top notch both times too! The food came out at super warp speed!! Definitely a good place to go if in a hurry! The broccoli casserole, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and the bacon cheddar ranch potatoes were the greatest food I’ve ever ate !! 😋😋😋 And the chopped steak with gravy and onions was so good that we ordered it both days. I can’t believe we come to the beach and get better (and authentic) home cooking food than where we live in Appalachia of WV! 🥇🏆Highly recommend this place to any tourists if you haven’t been! You will NOT be disappointed. If we lived here , I swear we would eat here everyday I’m sure ! 😋Where else can you have a complete meal- with drink and bread for only $7.99?! I’m already looking forward to eating here next beach trip! A+++ all the way!! This place has it all- cleanliness, friendly and attentive staff and yummiest food you’ll ever have ! 👏🏼👏🏼

Great home cooking. They buttered your toast, so the butter is nicely melted when the toast arrives. Loved the catfish, okra/tomatoes and Cole slaw. The potatoes are delicious. Fresh fish and meatloaf on Tuesday.

Highly recommended. I got the pancakes, bacon and potatoes. Bacon was cooked great. Pancakes had a good fluff to it and potatoes were crisp and tasty. Husband ordered bacon and cheese omelette and he said it was very good! Tasty and not bland. I noticed on the table they support the local dairy farm which was a plus and their ketchup is organic. They use all name brand products land o lakes butter and brand jelly. Coffee they kept full and even brought me the carafe! The atmosphere was great and they played great 80’s music. I noticed they had delicious desserts if you go later in the day. Their menu was huge! A+!

This place was soo good! You don’t have to dress fancy, just bring your appetite! The biscuits and gravy were to die for! I am a soft biscuit type of gal and they delivered! Also, try the wood pile for someone who can eat more than a biscuit 😆

We went there for brunch and the food is not that good. They made us wait for so long to get our eggs and waffle, and finally brought all the checks wrong so they had to change it but it was wrong again! Definitely not a place I would recommend or try again.

Went here for breakfast over the 2023 winter holidays. Had a sausage, egg & cheese omelet with grits and it was pretty good. No better or worse than Ihop or Waffle House, both of which are very near this location. Service was kinda slow and they had a preacher on the TV in the restaurant. Thankfully the volume was off. Keep politics and religion out of meals... doubt I'll return.

I'm very disappointed. We have eaten here over the last 8 years. The waitresses were great. I would be looking for better kitchen staff. French Fries were undercooked. Medium-sized shrimp were not deveined. Flounder was rushed, greasy, and mushy. My wife ended up just eating slaw and mashed potatoes. With all the other restaurants in the area, this one just slipped to the bottom of our list.

This is always a great go to choice when no one can decide what they want. It's laid back, pure southern atmosphere is welcoming and there a little bit of everything on the menu. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, whichever you're in the mood for. Service is good and friendly, but just like everywhere these days, they don't have enough people and so it takes a little longer. But if you pick the right time you can get in without much of a wait and most everyone can find something on the menu that they'll like. Breakfast is my personal favorite. 🙂
