Capt'n Bill's Backyard Grill & Volleyball Facility

The ambiance is calm and laid-back. The food was tasty and the staff provided excellent service. Visitors can sit back and watch volleyball games while grabbing a bite and having a drink.

Didn't eat here but the beers were good and the atmosphere was so much fun! They really know what they are doing here.

I loved visiting here with my best friend on our weekend trip to Wilmington since this is where they filmed the volleyball scene on the summer I turned pretty. However, the entrees and margarita were just okay. The service was fine and the nachos were delicious though!

Great place to play volleyball and have fun. Even if you’re there to watch it’s fun, everyone seems to be having a great time and a very friendly crowd. If you’re at all interested in a social sport I would check it out. If looks like there are leagues for all levels of play. Reasonable priced beer and good food is available as well.

First time visiting from Michigan and I have to say that I wish we had something like this up north. Amazing atmosphere and delicious eats, drinks were good and the service was phenomenal. The bonus on top of all that was the volleyball games being played just awesome 👌🏾

Large portion of fried oysters. But fries were a little soggy. Good portions for the price. Mahi blackened tacos were tasty and spicy Sriracha cream a good addition. Beers are awesome and food is good.

You have to look for this place and it's a fantastic find! Good local folks own this and other establishments in Wilmington and have well trained staff. Our food was very good and made fresh to order. I wish we had the time that evening to take advantage of the steamed oysters special. Oh the craft beer is excellent! I had the Scotch Ale and loved it. Dress casual and enjoy good food, good people and a good time.

I can't believe in all the years I've lived in or near Wilmington this was my first visit ever to Capt'n Bill's Backyard Grill. I am not a volleyball player. Trust me I've tried. But it is a lot of fun to watch. Especially when it's an improv game with teams made up of aging ECU Alumni after a few rounds of Bill's home brews. Speaking of brews, I really liked the Watermelon Mint. It was light and not bitter. The Blue Velvet was okay. Bill's Light was pretty good for a more traditional beer flavor. Our alumni gathering included heavy appetizers, I assume provided by Bill's. I've never seen a round platter full of French fries before. The fries and chicken tenders were tasty. A bout of showers brought the tournament games to an early end, but the well-lit courts make it easy to play after dark. I would recommend hanging out at Capt'n Bill's. Bring your furbaby, kick off your flip flops, and chill on the back porch with a cool brew.
