True Blue Butcher and Table

Brandon Dickerson

My wife and I were down exploring the Wilmington area and True Blue was recommended to us by a local we had met. We saw most reviews online were positive and gave this place a shot. Wow, I wish I could meet the guy now who originally suggested this place to shake his hand and thank him! We started out with some oysters and the Pork Belly appetizer. Both were awesome and I was happy to see something a little bit different like the Pork Belly and Kimchi dish that you wouldnt normally find at another restaurant in the area. For the main course we split a 16oz Prime Ribeye with asparagus on the side. I appreciated that they took it upon themselves to split the steak in half before it arrived on the table and played it separately for us. For the steak, we debated on ordering Medium vs medium rare, and the waiter suggested Medium as they lean on the undercooking side vs overcooking. It came out perfectly. Now I've been to Ruth's Chris, some Brazilian steakhouses, eat steak at home frequently and I was honestly blown away at how good this Prime Ribeye was! If I could continue to eat forever I would have ordered another regardless the price. Finally, we ended off with the Peanut Butter Creme Brulee that had a strawberry filling at the bottom. It wasn't my favorite, but my wife devoured it haha. If there were any negatives it was that we were sat outside directly in the sun. There was literally no wait for that table, so we took it and they did offer to seat us inside if we wanted to wait. TL/DR: Staff was personable/friendly/knowledgable about the menu. Food was top notch, be ready to spend some money if you're hungry, but know it will be worth it!

Superb! Excellence at every level. The service, the food. Delightful. The best steak in town!! I have heard this several times and now I can finally say it myself. I added a side of Mac & Cheese and that was all she wrote! I had no room for dessert. Returned today to take my friend for her birthday lunch. Still superb. I had outstanding mac and cheese with bacon and she had a great smash burger. Service is always top shelf.

We were seated soon as we walked in. Customer service was great. Everything was delicious but the steaks were AMAZING!!!! Sophisticated atmosphere... Would definitely recommend this place.

Great happy hour specials at the bar. Love the lobster roll get it almost every time. Nice date spot, has a good environment, and relatively quick service but never make you feel rushed. It is expensive if you go outside of happy hour so we don’t do that as often. It’s in a shopping center so the parking lot can be busy but worth going
