Reviews for Jax 5th Avenue Deli & Ale House in Wilmington, NC

The food is amazing. The prices are the most reasonable in the city. I wish I had one local. The staff is very friendly. They do... this great thing and serve you pickles instead of bread while you wait for your food. Read more

Not a very large place and it does a good business, so you may need to wait a bit for an open table like we did. We were given... pickle slices to snack on while we waited for our order. But not just any pickles, THESE PICKLES WERE DELICIOUS. Our drinksarrived promptly(the Teaches Peaches beer is probably the best beer I ever had,highly recommend it) as did our yummy smokedsalmon deviled eggs. The 10" Casper Pizza I had was fantastic as was my BFs crab cake sandwich with a side of macaroni salad. Agreat appealing menu selection and good prices. Great food , great service. I'll return to try other selections. Read more

Clean. The bartender was friendly and efficient. My legand sub was thick with meats topped with spring lettuce and various other... toppings. I had a wide salad made of spring mix and ranch. The salad tasted fresh. Laid back feel loved it. Will want to eatagain next time I'm in the area. Read more

Do you want to know where the locals go? You found it. Jax is a diner where the locals go for drinks and an inexpensive... meal. Don't walk through these doors looking for fast food. You won't find it here. This is good food and inexpensive prices.How do they offer quality at a fair price? They do it with long term staff and locals who can walk through the door and request"The Usual." The night I visited there was one waitress and one manager/cook, and that's okay. You eat here for the experienceof getting to know the people around you. You visit with the waitress. Talk to the locals and as soon as you get involved in agood conversation your food shows up. It may take twenty minutes, it may take an hour on a busy night, but that's okay. You camehere for the drinks and the people, not for fast food. When your food arrives... It's good. The food is hot, and the prices arelow. If you've got the time, this is the place to go. When you walk through the door, there is a "please wait to be seated"sign. We heard a voice from the kitchen yell out "sit anyplace you want." We took a seat at a table and the waitress showed upwith the menus. The waitress struck up a conversation about beer and the food. She knew the menu and the bar. She was having aclumsy night, getting used to being pregnant. I decided to order a pizza that reminded me of one of my favorite Mystic Pizzas.One I always buy when I'm in Mystic CT. It's sweet with just the right amount of heat. One of the best tortilla pizzas in town.Light and delicious. The perfect pizza for watching soccer on TV. This is a great place to watch a game, have a conversation,and get fairly priced food.

Best sandwiches I?ve had since we moved here!! The pickles are so yummy highly recommend asking for some. Great drink selection... and a huge menu. Pasta salad wasn?t my favorite but it was good. Servers are so nice and very quick. We sat outside which wasgreat because it was gorgeous out. The building is cool, it has a different vibe than most restaurants. Can?t wait to come backand try more! Definitely recommend this spot if you haven?t tried it. Read more

I came here yesterday during the warm but windy mid afternoon, 03/07. We have never been here before, but we're intrigued to... check it out. We came in to be very greeted by the staff who let us pick where we wished to be seated as we chose to sitoutside. It was a nice set place to eat on a bench with an umbrella within if needed as we did not this day. We got assistedby our waitress along with the drink and food menu as it was a little slower when we got here, but it was between people gettingoff work and dinner. We started with just a couple of drinks from their drink menu and some pickles, which were great. When itcame time to order, I picked the French Dip as she chose Reubon, with both of us choosing the macroni salad. We talked andrelaxed and hung out until our food arrived, and we were delighted by the sight of it once it was in front of us. The foodchoices we picked were awesome; the food was made to perfection, and so far, it seems you can not go wrong with whatever awesomesandwich choice you pick. We will be back again. Read more
