★★★☆☆ 3.0 Pablo Ohulahan · Feb 2026

Very small wait staff not very attentive (it is off season) they said they are slow. No urgency for food or drinks. Sat down pretty much said what do you want no explanation of things. Our 1st time there. Anniversary dinner. Mediocre. Food ok maybe we will try again in the summer

★★★★★ 5.0 James Nellis · Oct 2025

After a very busy week my wife and I went back to a favorite classic seafood restaurant, Hieronymus, for a celebration dinner before we stayed for the first time in our new abode! We started with drinks and garlic rolls and oysters followed Caesar salads and balanced with Golden Tile Fish for both with my wife having Herbed Grilled Golden Tile fish and mashed potatoes while I had the Golden Tile fish Carolina style with collard greens! The food was as usual excellent and our server, Jessica, made our evening even more enjoyable while she was making sure we had the best service on this special night!

★★★★★ 5.0 Madeline Meyers · Jul 2025

Somehow this place is both very laid back and also high class at the same time. The server and hostess were both friendly and welcoming, and our server was helpful with assisting me in picking out a fish to try. I've never had seafood before, and she recommended the Golden Tile, which was really yummy. It had a very mild flavor, but the preparation was delicious. My husband got the shrimp and flounder, and he said it was amazing. Their fries were perfect, the salad was fresh and crisp, and the biscuits they served us before our meal were splendid! I also overheard another server telling some other guests that the seashells in the tables are caught by them, and that they switch them out a few times a year. It was really cool!

5 ⭐️ - Hieronymus Seafood Restaurant: Bringing the Fresh Flavors Since '72! If you're looking for a genuine Wilmington seafood staple, you have to stop at Hieronymus Seafood Restaurant. This place has been "bringing the fresh flavors" for decades—since 1972, and it still "rocks”. the house" when it comes to taste. We dropped by for a late lunch and were so thoroughly impressed that we canceled our planned dinner reservations elsewhere just to order takeout from here again. LUNCH: Flavor Overload in the Best Way The crowd was light, the kitchen was clearly on its A-game. Every single thing we ordered was top-notch. We started with the Garlic Cheddar Biscuits, which were buttery, soft, and perfect, but they reached legendary status once we dipped them into the Lobster Cream Grits. This gr

★★★★★ 5.0 Annie Jeong · Mar 2026

We recently ate at Hieronymus because it was close to our hotel and WOW.. this place exceeded all expectations. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The burgers were delicious, the seafood was fresh, and the service was genuinely great. Since it was our first time, we asked for recommendations and we ended up getting several of their suggested dishes. Every single one was a hit. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The restaurant theme also fits the area perfectly and adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back next time we're in town. Such a great find!
