Food Scene
Casual local favorite located a 5 minute walk away in the Castle Street Antiques district. The grilled pimento cheese/tomato/carmelized onion sandwich is to die for. Great southern food like mom would make and nice people.

Best fresh -not fried seafood in town. Right by Wrightsville Beach. This is a very small place. You would NOT want to go at 7 on a Friday night in the summer. Go early or late, or for brunch. Always a fresh seafood plus Panamanian-style fresh food.
