"First time here and it was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. We tried two of their breakfast specialties and they were both great. Eggs cooked exactly the way we asked for and the dishes were tasty without being super heavy. Will come back"

"Excellent experience at the Blue Surf Cafe. I was visiting my son for the weekend, and we were looking for a simple, cost-effective restaurant for lunch. This place was great. We highly recommend it."

"My partner and I tried this place today and though it was pretty packed, our food came out fast and the staff was friendly. My partner had the Havana Bowl. It looked nice and tasted good, but it was a bit heavy on the black beans. I had the Home Style Breakfast Plate, which is your classic breakfast plate, nothing too exciting. The only downside was that both my partner and I thought the bacon was overcooked and salty, but that could just be personal preference. We also tried the waffle with caramelized bananas, yogurt, and almonds. It had a kind of pumpkin spice twist to it that I didn’t realize , but didn’t mind. Initially, the waffle was drenched in syrup (pictured below) , so I asked for them to remake it with the syrup in the side, after that it was perfect. (also pictured below) We also brought our dog and sat outside, which was great. I’d recommend Blue Surf for a casual brunch with decent food and friendly staff, but it’s not a place I’d be rushing back to."

"Our daughter (uncw student) brought us here for lunch. Literally everything on the menu sounded delicious, brunch menu was also available which made my choice even more difficult. I opted for the brisket sandwich with s&p chip. I don't know if the chips are house made or not but they are so good!! Been craving them ever since we went! Plan on visiting again when we are in Wilmington. This place is a must try!"

"I was excited to take my husband here for lunch after reading the reviews. Boy were were disappointed and kind of shocked at the food. I ordered the lunch special which was a chicken fajita bowl. My husband ordered the beef brisket sandwich. My husband liked after I ordered the he read somewhere that lunch specials usually meant leftovers from the night before. I laughed at him but honestly that is exactly what the fajita bowl tasted like. The black beans were unseasoned, as was most everything in the bowl and the chicken was hard and so dry that when I took a bite, I thought I had bitten into a piece of bone. The rice was flavorless and cold in the middle as though it had been warmed in a microwave but not gotten completely hot. Cheese sauce had no flavor at all. I could only eat a few bites of the peppers and mushrooms which also had no seasoning. Brisket sandwich had very little brisket and the bun was so toasted it was hard and burned in places. Potato salad was very bland with the potatoes cut in uneven pieces so the sauce in each bite was uneven. Expensive for what was served to us! The service was very slow. Picture of "crunchy" dry chicken."
