Best Restaurants to Try While Visiting Wilmington, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Germany meets North Carolina at Prost, the newest tenant in one of downtown’s most beloved spaces. Spatzle mac and cheese, beef stroganoff, and schnitzel pair well with the large selection of both American and European brews. The fried flounder sandwich with a tangy, slightly spicy housemade dijonnaise spread is a standout on the sandwich menu, and the riesenbrezel (two large pretzels with both a cheese sauce and beer mustard) is a great snack for those just looking for a good beer and a quick bite." - Matt Lardie

Growing up in Germany and being a very decent German cook , I loved the food, we were a party of four, ordered a variety of German specialties. The quality is pretty close to authentic. Kudos to the Chef

I luv this biergarten! The beer is delicious and I enjoyed their bratwurst! All the staff seem so happy and are constantly smiling! Such a great experience visiting. I will be sure to return the next time I am in town. An ambiance and atmosphere like nowhere else in Wilmington!

Great cocktails and the ambiance here is 10/10, we stopped in for afternoon cocktails and a small plate. Loved the pretzel and beer cheese! The cocktails tasted really fresh and the natural lighting in the restaurant during the day is really nice. Very clean bathrooms.

Yesterday evening, my friend and I met up at Prost—I’ve been before, but it was his first time. (Don’t worry, he’s now converted.) From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends—not just by the host, but literally everyone. We opted to sit outside, and that’s when Natalie entered the chat. Y’all… Natalie is a vibe!!! Her energy? Top-tier. Her timing? Impeccable. Her smile? Sponsored by the sun. She guided us through the drink menu like a seasoned pro-slash-therapist (because yes, we did need help choosing), brought out our food faster than expected, and checked on us often enough that we were convinced we were her favorite table (we probably weren’t, but let me dream). Every. Single. Time. she came to the table, we ended up laughing. Full-on belly laughs, like we were part of a sitcom with great lighting and even better cocktails. Her vibe just made the night click—you can’t teach that kind of presence. Long story short: Great food. Great drinks. Great service. And if you’re lucky enough to be seated in Natalie’s section? Buckle up for an unexpectedly amazing time. Prost to that! 🥂

I must say say I've wanted to the this restaurant for years and never had a chance to try to food until V Day Weekend. I spent some time in Berlin and Hamburg in 2019. I've really become a fan of their food and beer. I must say that some of the food I had tasted like I was eating in Germany. The bratwurst tasted just like it did in the Christmas Markets in Hamburg. The only thing that was missing the curry wurst ketchup. The mac and cheese was amazing along with the pretzel. My favorite German fish was the schnitzel and I wasn't disappointed. Every thing else on the dish I didn't care for. I don't like the cabbage and whatever the other side was had no flavor. I ended up eating the chips from the bratwurst meal. I wouldn't recommend the chicken schnitzel because the rest of what they offered was terrible. I would recommend everything else I got. I would so say if you go out for the seating outside that you may have to wait. Waited over 15 minutes after a couple left to be able to sit down after it had been whipped down.

Gigantic portions of decent food and a bunch of local beers on tap. Really beautifully semi-restored old building, so nice to see people appreciating the vernacular instead of spending millions to steamroll Northern Virginia ersatz loft style onto everything in sight. Super sweet waitstaff.

Enjoyed a late lunch during Port City Taste week. Fantastic options for $20 for lunch. Started with the tomato basil bisque which had bright flavor and a few chunks of leeks and spatzele mac and cheese which was creamy, cheesy and piping hot. It had chunks of bacon which added a good saltiness. The Rachel sandwich was full of smoked turkey, brussel slaw and a great spice from mustard. The schnitzel sandwich was pounded thin, breaded and fried perfectly. It had lots of beer cheese which added a creamy texture. The house chips were thin and crispy. Definitely worth the stop. Outside area is large and inviting but not on a really cold day.

This is a beautiful resturant and the food was great!! We had the Brussels sprouts and pretzel appetizers. Then, for our meal, we had the flounder, beef stroganoff, and smash burger. We will be back!!

I've been to Prost a handful of times and have been satisfied every time. I loved the bar it used to be so when that closed I was disappointed, but enjoying Prost has eased that disappointment. I've gone for drinks, dates, group meals, and meals with a parent and everyone has left fairly happy. I'm a vegetarian so German food isn't typically the most appealing for me, but Prost has done a good job with their vegetarian offerings. My favorite menu is their pretzel, followed closely by the brussels sprouts. I'm not a mustard person, but their mustard has just the right amount of kick that is addictive. I've gotten one of the vegetarian sandwiches, one of the vegetarian bratwursts, and a handful of other items and all have been good, if not wonderful. They have a varied drink menu, from cocktails to mocktails to beer to wine so everyone leaves happy. Looking forward to my next trip in.

Interesting experience- can't count the times I've been in Germany nor the total time in country - a lot. The schnitzel & spatzle was right one, but the reb cabbage was a complete fail ... like they forgot the vinegar. Worst reb cabbage I have ever been served. Pretzels are right in and so it the mustard and melted cheese that are condiments for the pretzels. My wife had the Reuben- which she said was good but the appearance of the bread was that of Rye/pumpernickel ... but it had the taste Ordinary bread. It was strange, like drinking what you think is coffee, but it's actually tea. Cool space.

While visiting the area we had heard about Prost and had to try this place as I really enjoy German food. The ambiance is so pretty, bright and very relaxing. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the vibe here. We started with potato pancakes. They were cooked just right nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. This was served with sour cream and applesauce, and the applesauce was chunky and sweet. Probably the most delicious applesauce I've ever tried. I ordered the beet salad that came with three different kinds of colored beets, goat cheese, arugula, and I added the chicken schnitzel. The beets were shaved and flavorful. The chicken was so dang good I could have eaten more. I enjoyed this lunch so much and look forward to going back to sample other delicious items.

This place is delicious and awesome! Situated close to our hotel in Wilmington, Prost has both an outdoor area in the back and an indoor section off the street. We hung out at the bar and loved it. The bartender was awesome and attentive. He convinced me to drink more simply through the power of listening to my preferences and making good suggestions! Ha. They have the best and most uniquely German sangria that I've ever tasted, and we took a picture of the ingredients to try to replicate at home. My husband also really liked his local draft beer and drank several before we set off on an evening walk. We were planning to order a full dinner, but the appetizer we got (3 sausages sampler) was ample and filled us up. So delicious with sauerkraut and Brussels sprout slaw plus mustard and curry ketchup. Try it! We had ambitions to try more (and the reviews call out so much as delicious!), but we we quickly filled up and couldn't eat more. Pity because all the dishes around us looked amazing. This place is great!

We were visiting Wilmington for the weekend and decided to check this place out because of the reviews and I'm glad we did! The fries were perfectly seasoned and had the perfect amount of crispiness. The inside is really cool - there's a ton of seating and it's really open. I had the kielbasa that came with a cheese sauce and it was so good. The only thing that fell a little flat was the service. Our waiter was really friendly and helpful at first but unfortunately we were left hanging for a while. We wanted extra sauce and we couldn't get it because our server never came back and someone else had to get us the check. Either way, I enjoyed the food and the vibe so I'd still recommend!

This place gets BUSY and for a good reason, the service is great, and the food is full of FLAVOR. We enjoyed the romantic fireside seating on the patio and can't wait to try the whole menu. Only good things to say about this place, and make a reservation.

Great experience here on their patio for happy hour. The staff were so friendly and checked in regularly. We got a few beers and shared the food. Loved the happy hour deals so we tried both the brat and kielbasa sandwiches, the nachos and mac n cheese spatzle. Also, got the firecracker shrimp. It was all delicious and had the German style with sauerkraut and mustard. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service from Alex at the outside patio bar. Drinks were absolutely delicious and food was fresh and flavorful. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars was because when we initially walked into the indoor bar, we got hit in the face with a sewage smell and even while sitting on the back patio we would get whiffs of the smell. Pretty unpleasant. Not sure what was going on there but recommend sitting on the patio, because it's got pretty decor and great service.

I was pleasantly surprised during my visit to Prost. It is a Biergarten however they have an excellent culinary menu with excellent happy hour deals and daily specials. Their pretzels and beer cheese are outstanding, but don't sleep on their homemade mustard, it is spicy and packs a punch. The brat was served on a pretzel bun and topped with kraut and their homemade mustard. As a happy hour special it was $10 and for the quality it was a heck of a deal. For a spot right by the river walk in downtown Wilmington, it is a fantastic place to hang out, drink a beer and enjoy some delicious food!

Always wanted to try this restaurant. Arrived it was a little early for lunch , the restaurant was deserted, there may have been some patrons on the patio , I don't know. The decor of the restaurant is neat, the staff are friendly and attentive. We were seated promptly, given menus and the drink menus were already on the table . They have a nice selection of items to choose from. The Roasted Mushroom Soup served with crème fraishe called out to me. It was a coolish day , a good day for soup. And the Traditional Bratwurst, comes with haus beer mustard and kraut comes on a pretzel bun ,with haus made chips or french fries. I opted for no mustard and the chips. A Beet Salad , roasted beets , goat cheese, arugula and dijon vin was ordered. While we waited several patrons came in and went to the patio. Our food came out fairly fast . The mushroom soup came out first . It was warm, seasoned well , plenty of firm , not soggy mushrooms. On top it had slivered green onions, I believe parsley and crispy onion. The soup was perfect for the day. Then the main lunch arrived.The bratwurst was warm and flavorful, however a little over done. The chips were amazing - perfectly seasoned, and a huge pile of them. The beet salad looked wonderful, the cooked beets were hidden in the arugula. The shaved beets had crunch and the cooked beets were tender and not overcooked. The arugula with the vinaigrette, I found to be very pleasant. However my lunch companion felt it was too salty. It is a restaurant that I would come back to and try another German favorite.

We wanted something different while out in Wilmington and this restaurant hit the spot. The Kielbasa was really good and I definitely recommend getting the spatzle if you're looking for something different. They also have a pretty unique, German inspired draft menu. We also got pretzels as an appetizer and be warned, the mustard is extremely spicy. It tastes like it's mixed with wasabi but it tastes good with very small dips. While the food was good, the service was subpar. Often found myself struggling to get our server's attention throughout our visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Prost! We had the schnitzel patty melt with crisp homemade potato chips and a fraukase sandwich with crispy fries. So yummy. My daughter enjoyed margarita although it was pretty potent for me! Our server, Duffy was attentive and appreciated our feedback! Will definitely go back!

Came here on a Sunday for brunch! We were able to find parking across the street and it is free on Sundays which is nice! Workers were nice. My friend and I decided to eat outside on the patio because it was a nice day outside. The patio is so cute with a really nice atmosphere. Lots of nice plants and decor. We split the pretzel. It was different than a most pretzels with a crispy outside and the beer cheese was very good. I then got a Kielbasa that came with cheese and peppers and onions. I really enjoyed it. I was very full afterwards. I thought it was a good price for ~13 which I thought was a good fair price! Overall a nice restaurant with good food!

I loved my experience at Prost. I went during late lunch time and had a phenomenal experience. The staff went above and beyond. They explained tge menu and answered all my questions. The food was delicious. Everything was freshly prepared. I really enjoyed the ambience it reminded me of being in a fairy garden. It had nice touches. I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Eastern NC is truly lacking in German food options and while Prost is a bit of a self-described German-American mashup, it certainly fulfilled our German food cravings. The decor is unique and fun and they have an excellent outdoor Biergarten area. They have a nice selection of draft beers and cans/bottles as well as wine and mixed drinks. Our server was very personable, attentive and helpful. All of our food was good! The pretzel was fresh and hot and the dipping sauces were both very tasty. I had pork Schnitzel and my wife had the chicken. The breading was flavorful and fried perfectly. We both subbed the cabbage for other items as we'd read it has Carraway seeds in it, which is unusual and neither of us are a fan of Carraway. I got the German potato salad instead and it was served warm which is traditional. It was good, but I'd have liked it to be a little heavier on the vinegar which would be more to German standards, but I understand the need to appeal to American tastes. My wife got the house chips and they were fresh, also fried perfectly and actually seasoned well. Prior to our arrival I messaged the restaurant to inquire about the parking situation. They responded quickly and let us know there is metered street parking and a parking garage nearby on 2nd & Market St. We ended up parking down by the river one block away. Overall we really enjoyed our visit and will be sure to come back at dinner time so we can try some more of the entrees like the Chicken Paprikash. Genießen Sie Ihr Essen! Prost!!

I'm so thrilled someone turned this place into something else. The piano bar was fun, but the greatest thing about that place was - the place! Their menu is phenomenal! We ordered a lot of food and it was all delicious. We left very full and with food to take home. I think they're fairly priced, too. You can order their draft beer in three sizes, 10,16, and 20. I wish more places offered this. Our server was great and everyone else was helping each other so the food came out warm and quickly (but not too quick). Two negatives - (1) the bar service was very slow and we actually got our apps before our drinks. Hopefully, they'll figure that out soon. (2) the bar stools are too short for the table and the tables are too close together. This makes it awkward to get in and out of the seats. I don't want to end on a negative though because we really enjoyed lunch there and can't wait to bring friends there!

We love german food so we wanted to try this place. The ambiance is nice, the service is on spot. As for the food, it was.just ok. I make german potato salad that is much better and authentic than their. Also the red cabbage lacked flavor. The Chicken schnitzel was very crispy, I like that. The house pretzels were the favorite.

Rachel D.

Yelp
Omg. Tried this place on a whim and was blown away. The food was so freshly made and flavorful. We got a soft pretzel, Brussels sprouts, spring salad, the chicken schnitzel, and a few cocktails. Every single food item was clearly freshly made and high quality. The meal was so pleasant and the food came out fast. The service was excellent and the bar was such a lovely date location. Can't wait to come back. I couldn't recommend more.

A solid four and a half stars. Prost Biergarten is one of the newest additions to the downtown dining scene and they are coming in strong. I grew up in a German household and was really impressed by the menu offering. For me at least they'd get five stars if they did a few more "traditional" German dishes but what we had was solid. I was impressed with their beer list. They had a robust selection of local brews and more traditional European style beers which was really great. For food, we had the potato pancakes with chive sour cream and homemade applesauce. These were great! Definitely tasted homemade. We also had the spatzle which was really good as well. For dinner my husband and I had the pork schnitzel. The cabbage was delicious, as was the pork. The pork was crispy and flavorful and not at all dry. We also had it Jager style which added a nice touch. The highlight for sure was the apple cake. This was a huge slice of flaky pie crust with warm apple slices. It was amazingly good and was served with vanilla ice cream. Loved the decor and didn't have a chance to go out back into the beer garden but will definitely be back!

I love German beer and food, and was very happy to see Prost open up. For starters, love the location. Right on Front Street. Nicely decorated. Inside and outside (covered) seating. Service was good. We made a reservation thru Google, which is the smart move if you are getting dinner here on the weekends. Beer I was a little disappointed. There are no German beers on tap. Prost does have a nice selection of local and regional beers on tap. They also have German and domestic beer in bottles and cans. Food Hit and miss here. I was really wanting some German sausages as an entree, but they don't have it as an entree. You can get German sausages as part of a charcuterie board, or on a sandwich. The board came with three sausages and you can make a meal out of it. It was expensive, which BTW is a theme here. The food is expensive. The smoked pork chop is off the hook. This was the highlight of the meal. Very large and delicious (that's what she said). The kraut and potato salad sides were okay. I felt the sides were a little bland.

DH and I finally had the opportunity to dine at Prost. I was able to get a table in the beer garden. I'm glad we had reservations, as both inside and outside were full. Plus, there were a few walk-ins and they had to wait a bit. The beer garden had a lively atmosphere. There's a bar with about 8-10 barstools. I would like to sit there the next time. We ordered the pretzels (two in an order) that came with two dipping sauces. One was beer mustard and the other a cheese sauce (our favorite). The pretzels were excellent! I've had doughy pretzels, but these were light in texture with a nice crispy outside. I ordered the chicken paprikash that came with egg noodles; DH Ordered the pork schnitzel, jager style, that came with red cabbage,and spatzle. Both dishes were very good. The schnitzel was not overcooked; the chicken very tender. I didn't think it was the best chicken paprikash I've had but I did enjoy it. Next time I'll order the schnitzel. Other appetizers that sounded great were the potato pancakes, crispy Brussel sprouts and roasted mushroom soup. I'd like to come back soon, as they also have a nice selection of sandwiches. Overall, a very nice dinner at Prost.

We have been wanting to try this place for a while since it opened. Just haven't been in Wilmington enough. It's located one block off of the water and has limited views. The parking can be an issue. A private lot adjacent to the location charges a minimum of $20 but there is a public lot just feet up the alley that charges $2 for the first hour and $1 per hour beyond that. The building looks great from the outside but be aware there is little signage to go by. The beer garden is to the back with nice open air feeling with a full bar. You can enter directly into the beer garden or go inside to the main dining room. Very friendly greeters and wait staff. Mixture of long tables with benches (German style) plus a number of two/four top tables with chairs. The happy hour menu is what you should start with. Lots of offerings at great prices. We tried the Kaese spaetzle for two and it was plenty. A little over cheesy but the Emmentaler will lock your jaws up. The roasted brussel sprouts were maybe the best I've ever had. The fresh baked pretzel was very good but the hot mustard was HOT. And good. We didn't get a chance to try an entree but the menu has a lot to offer. I would definitely give this place a try.

Service was outstanding! The bartender made a specialty cocktail with a butterfly pea flower gin that was spectacular. Outdoor area is awesome, even on a rainy humid day. The food had a fresh twist on the expected and was awesome! The apple mustard and potato salad were excellent and the crisp on the spatzle and schnitzel were perfect.

My wife and I went for lunch on a Sunday at around 1230. The staff immediately greeted us when we entered and we were able to be seated in the covered outdoor section. The patio featured a retractable umbrella and plenty of greenery. We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer. It was a great fusion of culinary styles, offering a modern food accented by the more traditional greens. My wife decided on the Local Flounder Sandwich with their home made chips and I chose the Schnitzel Patty Melt with fries. Both were generous portions and excellent meals. The flounder sandwich consisted of two filets of flounder and the Schnitzel was a healthy portion. We would definitely recommend and consider going again to explore other menu options.

The food was exceptionally good considering most German influenced restaurant/ bars don't cut it even close. We decided to go ham on a few appetizers to get a taste of several things on our first trip in. We were not disappointed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a taste of Germany like this girl was!

I visit ILM occasionally and was super excited to find this German restaurant. My mother was a full blooded German and I travel Europe often. My husband does not care for German food so I eat it almost every time I travel. I'd like to say I'm kind of a German food connoisseur. The restaurant was decorated very very well and also very welcoming. I sat at the bar since I travel often alone. The service received at the bar was outstanding. I ordered the pork Jager schnitzel as well as the potato pancake appetizer. It was nice to see that the potato pancake was actually made with grated potatoes and not a potato mash. I enjoyed it very much! My entree included spaetzle and braised red cabbage. The pork schnitzel and the spaetzle were excellent. To my surprise the braised red cabbage was loaded with what I believe to be caraway seeds. I've never had caraway seeds in my braised cabbage before. (typically it only comes in sauerkraut) Needless to say, I did not care for it nor eat it. If you like caraway seeds, then you would love this cabbage. I ran into a beer special as well which was awesome. I had two German beers for a total of six dollars. My total bill without tip was under $30. I thought that was a bargain for the amount of food that I got! Will I come back here to eat? Most definitely!! WilI I order the braised cabbage? Most definitely not. I would've given this establishment six stars had I not encountered the caraway seeds as I have never experienced them in cabbage before.

Food, Drinks, Service, Atmosphere. Nailed all four. What else is there?! Oh, we had 5 kids in tow and they accommodated that and made a fun little day with out of town friends relaxing, in a situation that can sometimes feel chaotic. Casual food and vibe in an elevated way that hits just right!

There are 2 entrances, one on front street and one on the side with a paid private parking lot ($9/hr). The one on the side is where we sat, where half of it has an open roof, an open garage door, communal seating, and a bar. There is also communal sitting in the front of the restaurant. Someone had their dog at the bar so I guess you could bring dogs to the bar. The decor is cute with the lights, plants, and rustic style brick walls. All of the food was great! We started off with potato pancakes (2 pieces, $7), which came with applesauce and fresh chives sour cream. The potatoes were crispy, and I liked the thinly sliced onions in them. The applesauce was delicious, tasted homemade. For entrees we had the traditional bratwurst ($12), which comes with beer mustard, sauerkraut in a pretzel bun, housemade seasoned chips on the side and the Pork schnitzel ($16, also has a chicken option), which came with braised cabbage with caraway seeds, housemade spatzle, served with dill sour cream and lemon slices. The pork schnitzel was thin and crispy, breaded perfectly. For dessert, we tried the German blueberry cake ($8) and apples strudel ($10). The cake was soft, moist, not super sweet. I loved the crumble topping. The apple strudel was served room temperature, I would've preferred it warm, but it was still tasty with the vanilla bean ice cream. Didn't try the mixed drinks, but it's cool they had drinks made with aquafaba (the hoff and au weidersen kaffe). The bartenders Andrew and Hailey were great serving us. Definitely a restaurant to try!

When you walk in the ambience is romantic with lights strung across the ceiling and large wine barrel planters with plants coming down above you. There was lots of fresh greenery filling the space beside us in front of the window. The table was quite wobbly we moved to the table mere inches next to us in a communal like seating area sharing a sitting bench for two with a second two person table a few inches apart. Some seating was designed for larger groups/family to sit together. Rather than buying entrees we decided to share several appetizers. One was two pretzels with beer cheese and stone mustard. The pretzels were soft and fresh and almost had a sweetness liken to a donut. The cheese sauce tasted good and the mustard had a strong bite of horseradish, both were great with the pretzels. The second was spatzle mac and cheese made with swiss, emmanthal and butterkase cheeses and was very cheesy, delicious! The third was the trio of sausages: Baurenwurst, keilbasa, and bratwurst. All tasted freshly made or locally produced. I loved the curry ketchup and beer mustard to dip the pieces of meat in. The pickled onions were so good! I would recommend this place for anyone wanting some german food. Even the schnitzel looked delicious! Lots of European beers to choose from as well as cocktails.

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was solid. Cool space. We were there for dinner on a Saturday night. It was full and we were early for our reservation so had a beer outside first. Good service there too. Only negative was the dining room was so loud we struggled to carry a conversation at our table without shouting. I would try the outdoor space next time for dinner.

My husband and I were finally able to stop by Prost for a drink. We had tried to get in when they first opened and it was impossible with the wait out the door. Now we were able to walk in the outdoor patio/Biergarten area and seat ourselves at the bar. I had a peach based drink & my husband a blackberry based drink. Both were DELICIOUS. The peach drink was probably one of my favorite drinks I've had out in a long time. Super refreshing & the perfect summer drink! The prices of the drinks are super affordable, as well as the food! After looking at the food menu we considered cancelling our reservations at another restaurant. Definitely will be back to try their food!

I've been to roughly 3 German restaurants in my life... and I've never been to Germany so I'm not very well versed personally in the cuisine. But as far as quality food goes- this place gots it. My best experience with German cuisine hands down, everything was fresh, perfectly balanced flavor, not too overwhelming but not bland by any means. Pork chop perfect- not dry, could taste the apple smoke. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Outdoor seating- back patio dog friendly, lots of fans and shade so not too hot either. Everything was great, small bites were all delicious, we had a couple as we got there a little earlier than dinner. Apps/handheld lunch served before 5pm. Also well priced, overall definitely the best dining experience I've had in town this year.

Very charming place. My sister was visiting from Germany. very European, very inviting old-school feel- loved it!! I love all the Decour and architecture. It was a gloomy rainy day, and we chose to sit outside on the terrace.They had TVs for sports on great for football. The garden was calming, the old brick falling down wall with the plants and the Christmas decor, loved it. Great place to go when you wanna get out of the hustle in Bustle. bartender was very friendly very helpful. She went over beer selections for us And selected a few thought we would like. Enjoyed every moment. I will come back again.

This place is really cute. The service was a little slow and our server was hard to read. But she was nice. The food was delicious! Everyone was happy with their choices. Some of the favorites were firecracker shrimp, chicken cordon blue, and the potato pancakes. Drinks were tasty but not filled to the top which is a little aggravating when they're $10 cocktails. I would definitely come back though!

I loved the appetizers. I started with the shrimp and the brussel sprouts both were excellent. Then I got the brat! That was good too

The cutest spot!! Great food, drinks and service. The space is adorable and very fun. The spatzel Mac n cheese, schnitzel sandwich and the smash burger were amazing. For appetizers we got the pretzel and it was so good we ordered a second one. The beer list is extensive and great! Highly recommend. Also the bathrooms are amazing- super random but check them out!!

What a wonderful addition to downtown Wilmington! We popped over for their grand opening and the weather was incredible so we were able to sit outside on their patio. The ambiance inside and outside is really nice! Overall the food was really good (def get the potato pancakes and spatzle) and they had a pretty good beer selection as well. I look forward to more good times at Prost!

I ordered the Cordon Blue sandwich, it came with fries. Portions were large and flavor was so good. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs. I really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant. Lots of plants, and warm lights. Best part was I had leftovers that reheated perfectly for lunch the next day!

Love this place! The Biergarten is an awesome hangout and the food over the top. The pretzel with beer cheese and mustard is addictive the best is the sausage trio and shrimp and spätzle was unreal. Friendliest team too. It is our regale go to!

The trout dip and the mushroom soup! Beverly, our server, was the best! Sit outside and enjoy the plants married with the old brick. Great place!

Very authentic, service was good and the Ambiance was good as well! I could have stayed all day but had to go back to Raleigh. Looking forward to staying in Wilmington and coming back to Prost Biergarten!

This place is absolutely beautiful, partly outdoors and with super friendly staff, I understand why it was recommended to me. I asked our server for a tie breaker between two dishes and it seemed like she was totally unaware of what the dishes contained. The food was good. I did have a mild issue with the amount of dijon mustard they put on the Rachel, the entire sandwich tasted like horseradish, but after scraping some off it was very yummy. The house made chips on the other hand, personally I think they need to be reworked. It tasted like eating a raw potato, no salt, no flavor, just potato. Overall, I would try it again, maybe just pick something different on the menu.

Visited on a weekday afternoon - ambiance is so relaxed, filled with plants and good music. Special of the day cocktail was herbal and delicious and a huge beer selection was available. Service was quick and we were in and out but felt comfortable relaxing as long as we wanted to while cooling down from the afternoon heat.

Great little outdoor seating area in the back. German style food is tasty and service is prompt and friendly. I have been here twice and both experiences were good. While they have a nice selection of local beers, I wish as a German Restaurant they had some sort of actual German Beer available on tap.
