Restaurants

Winnies Tavern is family owned burger place that has been passed down for generations and has been in business for 60 years, and is well known by locals and tourists alike for their burgers. Winnie's Tavern has been used as a film location several times over the years. The most notable was the film Blue Velvet in the mid 1980's. In late 2021, Winnie's was home to two film shoots and we look forward to seeing "Breakwater" and "One True Loves" when they are released.

Known for its commitment to fresh, local ingredients, the restaurant offers a unique blend of Southern comfort food and seafood delicacies.

As the name suggests, the menu highlights two standout dishes: the crispy, flavorful pressure-fried chicken and the succulent, briny oysters. But don't be fooled by the simplicity of the name - the menu is thoughtfully curated with a variety of dishes that showcase the best of the region's bounty.

With a relaxed atmosphere and a focus on sustainability, Rx Chicken and Oysters has become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Rx Chicken and Oysters in Wilmington, NC, was transformed into "Earl's" for the filming of the upcoming movie "The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat". This film, starring Uzo Aduba, Mekhi Phifer, Aunjanue Ellis, and Sanaa Lathan, is based on the novel of the same name and tells the story of three best friends navigating life's challenges.
