Great variety, all vegan! - Edit
We loved the variety of vegan options at Sealevel City Vegan Diner. We split a Buffalo crunch dog and chili cheese fries. We'd love to return to try more of the menu!

Delicious and great staff - Edit
Once I found this place I went both evening meals and made a point of stopping off to pick up lunch as I left Willmington.
Read moreI tried the plantain, shrimp, fries, crunch burrito, a tempeh sandwich, a burger and the hot chips as well as my favourite the pickled cucumbers
All were great. Staff were fantastic. Sweets looked fantastic but I was too full.
They also have great drinks
Pros: Great flavours , Fun original options, Good drinks

OMG! What an OUTSTANDING Diner! - Edit
I recently went to Carolina Beach, NC for vacation and of course broke out the Happy Cow app and discovered Sealevel City Vegan Diner. Seeing the other good reviews about the diner, I decided to go there right when it opened for the day. Lo and behold I was blessed with an outstanding server, awesome food and atmosphere. I recommend trying ANY of the burgers. This go around, I tried the Porta Melt and some freshly made house fries. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Sealevel.
Read morePros: Food, Outstanding, friendly service, Atmosphere
Cons: Wish the drinks were listed on the menu

Best in the World - Edit
I've traveled to 60+ countries and always seek out the top vegan restaurants, but nothing in the world compares to Sea Level. It's consistently delicious and creative. Everything is delicious, but my go-to is the kimchi tempeh reuben— I've never had a better sandwich in all my travels. Their Thanksgiving catering option is so tasty and makes the holiday stress free. I only wish their coconut chai ice cream was a permanent dessert offered and not just seasonal!

Consistently Delicious - Edit
Getting the Reuben is a must when I’m in town. It’s hands down the most flavorful, fulfilling sandwich in the 🌎. A side of their garlicky sautéed kale and I’m in Vegan Wonderland. I wish Sealevel was on a national level. It’s a truly one of a kind💚🌱

Awesome spot! - Edit
We totally loved this cute diner! It was the perfect stop on our roadtrip. So many options with something for everyone. Highly recommend: nacho fries! We had to stop ourselves from ordering 2 plates. The only con is that it’s too far away from home😄

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Edit
Overall I’d say a 3.5 experience but they get that ALL VEGAN ROUND UP to a 4. The lentil burger was my favorite and definitely what I would get next time. I was confused by the hot dog situation. The menu said cornflake battered so I excepted a Korean corn dog but it’s just lightly battered and in a hot dog bun which was not my favorite. We had 3 desserts but I’d only recommend the banana pudding. The key lime pie was spot on with flavor but is served frozen which gives it an almost gritty texture. I ate most of it later at room temp and it became a soup but I preferred the liquid mess over the frozen texture. The brownie and ice cream weren’t really my speed. The black beans give the brownie a texture & flavor that’s slightly off to me and the ice cream was heavily coconut flavored even though it was vanilla. That said, I’d return for the lentil burger 100%.

Love, love, love this place! - Edit
Our favorite place in our hometown with a full vegan menu. We go weekly to pig out. The food is amazing. The desserts are amazing. They even have some great local beers and crafter beverages like their hibiscus lemonade.
Read moreThe best part is you can get whatever and not worry because it's all vegan. They have tons of gluten free options and they are clearly marked as well.
If you are vegan and looking to indulge yoruself in Wilmington... this is the place.
The atmosphere is great as well. The owners and staff are so sweet and it really feels like a family owned diner that cares about their people, their food, and their environment. Top notch people and service every time we go.
Pros: Great variety, Amazing desserts and drinks, Great atmosphere

Awesome menu! - Edit
We wound up here twice within our two day visit to Wilmington - it was that good! We were lucky to first visit on a Wednesday for the weekly Crunchwrap special. Shrimp tacos were also great. The next day, we picked up the most photogenic hotdawgs for lunch and brought them to Hi-Wire... they pair excellently with a brew.
Read moreWe had our dog with us, and there were about 10 barstools on the patio as an outdoor option. It wasn't super scenic (seating faces a parking lot, busy street, and gun shop across the street), so we opted for carry out both times. Low top seating and some sort of privacy wall would go a long way for outdoor ambiance.
Staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed. Indoor seating had a quirky diner vibe. We were glad to support this establishment and highly recommend it!
Pros: Large 100% vegan menu, Tasty and beautiful food, Friendly staff
Cons: Limited outdoor seating

Droolin’ over Crunchy dawgs - Edit
Writing a review from the other side of the country because I miss Sealevel treats. It’s not on the menu but if they’ll do a crunchy Cali dog for you, your dreams will come true. Avo, chipotle, jalapeños onions and a cornflake battered dog?!?! Close runner up is the buffalo crunchy dog.

I miss you Sealevel!!

The best burger I've ever had - Edit
I've literally never had bad food from Sealevel. They do not miss. The lentil patty melt is the best burger I've ever eaten. The nachos SLAP. The tempeh Reuben SLAPS. The crunchy dog SLAPS. All of their specials rule. Their desserts rule. The employees rule. I love Sealevel
