If the new restaurants popping up in and around Wilmington are any indication, locals are hungry for seafood.
From Coast Craft Cocktails & Calabash in Carolina Beach to a new food truck from Maya’s Crab Shack in Riegelwood, there are a handful of new fish-focused choices in the area.
One exception is the CBT Burger food truck. It’s the latest venture from chef Bud Taylor, who closed the popular restaurant The Bistro at Topsail in early 2019.
Since then he’s been working as a builder, but missed cooking.
“I thought this would be something fun I could do on the weekends,” he said.

WILMINGTON â At Vigilant Hopeâs new coffee shop, The Roastery, the slogan goes âgood coffee for a good purpose.â Executive director Jeremy Hardy is dedicated to both those promises.
The Wilmington nonprofit has helped locals battling poverty for 10-plus years, largely with funds raised through its online coffee business. Now itâs opening a physical cafe on 16th Street with working baristas who will greatly benefit from the steady paycheck.
âWe wanted this to be known as a good craft coffee place that I think Wilmington needs more of, that we see a lot in like Raleigh or Charlotte,â he said. âJust some good, good coffee.â
