Absolutely delicious food and drinks. We tried a variety of their appetizers and loved them all. I had the blue crab pasta entree which couldn’t have been better. The Electric Fog IPA was so good that I bought a 4-pack to take home. My coworkers couldn’t stop ordering the coconut margaritas. Really tasty!

First stop in Wilmington and wow, did we luck out! Five out of six of their oysters were local (and delicious). They had a mango scotch bonnet sauce for wings (we went with shrimp instead) that was actually spicy. The special was a local flounder in a curry sauce with tikka masala butter, served with woodfired naan and coconut crusted green beans. The labneh was wonderfully spiced. All of the flavors across the board were just the right amount of intense. I had two refreshing cocktails with fresh strawberry puree. The service was A++ (thank you, Stevie!) and the ambiance was elevated brewpub with warm earth tones, wood, and metals. Would recommend to anyone visiting Wilmington with an adventurous palate and love of balanced flavors.

Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had. Great selection of local oysters, good beer, and a fun vibe. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and they had a good kids menu.

Nice, modern bar and restaurant. Has multiple bars inside to enjoy, good selection of beer and wines. Food selection is good. Had fish sandwich, sweet potato fries and coastal poutine; all was excellent. Server was very good and never left me wanting for anything.

We strolled along the loop and decided to pop into the Flying Machine Oyster Bar for a little snack. The hostess welcomed us with a smile and showed us to a cozy spot on the front porch, where the weather was absolutely perfect. I ordered the shrimp burger, and wow, it was amazing, huge chunks of shrimp cooked just right! My daughter chose the grilled fish sandwich and said it was awesome too. We had such a great time that we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We were visiting friends a couple weeks ago and they took us here for lunch. First time that they had ever been here as well so no one knew what to expect. This place is an absolute home run! Everything from the atmosphere, staff and food are 10 out of 10. Everyone with us fell in love with this place and now it has become a regular place for us. Highly recommend and will be back soon.

So we came in today around 4 o’clock on a Monday when they opened. Atmosphere is very open clean and inviting. Caitlin was our server today and she was phenomenal. She gave some great recommendations starting with the crab raccoon and let me tell you guys this isn’t like any crab you’re gonna get anywhere else it is so fresh you can taste the crab and it’s freshness in the dip is cooked in a cast-iron skillet served with fresh wonton chips. You can’t go wrong with any drinks and I absolutely love how the bartender will give their personal recommendations. If you want to add something to your drink my date, she ordered the peach margarita and he offered a seasonal syrup that’s made in house with fresh strawberries, and made a drink on the fly for us, making it a strawberry peach margarita, which was amazing. I chose the eye of the storm, which was another good choice. We got some oysters we didn’t know that there was a happy hour for their oysters and got some fat belly oysters for a dollar each and the pictures you see we got 12 we never took a picture of the second order. We got another six cocktail sauce is made in house, fresh horseradish. We tried the special baked oysters. The flavor was fun, creative, and flavorful flavorful at first, it hit you with a subtle sweetness and savory and thanks to the fresh peppers on top. It gives you a kick of spicy they were perfectly paired. I highly recommend trying them while they’re available. I used to work on a authentic Dumpling truck that made authentic Szechuan cuisine and typically whenever you see boa buns they are always associated with pork. I was so excited thanks to their creativity on this menu that they offered them with sear tuna, and these buns were so fresh so flavorful absolutely loved that black garlic sauce that came with it. It came in handy as well when we had the fresh tuna sashimi that was also on special, that dish was on the lighter side compared to everything we had today when it came to flavor. It had a little spice thanks to the chili sauce and it had a nice freshness and fruit forward flavor thanks to the dragon fruit. The tuna was very fresh. I stole my dates, black garlic sauce and was using that to pair with that tuna sashimi. It was amazing and last, but not least the crab pasta, they did not skimp on the crab meat. It was very fresh simple flavorful definitely something I would get again. However, when I come back for my next visit, I will continue to explore this menu. Thank y’all for this great experience it’s rare to find restaurants that take their time and really create a creative menu from the cocktails to the appetizers to the small to Treys highly recommend this is a restaurant. Look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for an Amazing experience!!!

Went to Flying Machine Oyster Bar twice on my trip because the oysters were that good. The pimento cheese oysters—oh my, absolutely incredible. I wasn’t expecting to love them as much as I did. Drinks were also on point, with great cocktails and a solid selection.

The water was really good. It went downhill from there. $22 for 6 of the smallest oysters I’ve ever seen (Oysters Rockefeller). The star of the Calabashket was the french fries….. The fries fish was slimy and unseasoned, oysters were flavorless and tough. Slaw was disgusting. Wife’s lobster Mac and Cheese was edible. Service was slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Will not return.

Great little place to eat. Only complaint is that it is super dark if you go in the evening (you can tell by pictures). Quaint little lamps on tables, setting the mood. Which I like to see what I eat, so it wasn’t enough for me. BUT the atmosphere is a great idea.

Food was decent. Lobster Mac n cheese was great. The smashburger was good, fries weren’t the best but it is what it is. I’d still recommend giving them a shot.
