Open

As of October 2026, Cast Iron Kitchen is listed open on Yelp, reviewed by our team on September 7, 2026; not yet independently confirmed through direct contact.

What the source shows: Yelp's listing for Cast Iron Kitchen, updated September 2026 with roughly 500 reviews, shows the restaurant active with current hours (Wednesday-Sunday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m.), since the business's own website blocked automated access with an HTTP 403 response.

What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Cast Iron Kitchen in Wilmington for the episode "BBQ Bites and Southern Flavor" (aired 2018-05-25), spotlighting the restaurant's Dirty South Biscuit, according to the Food Network's own restaurant profile page. Cast Iron Kitchen is a breakfast-and-brunch restaurant operating from Market Street in Wilmington. The restaurant's own website blocked the 2026-09-08 automated site check with an HTTP 403 response, so Yelp's listing was used instead: updated in September 2026 with about 500 reviews, it shows the restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the same Market Street address in Google's business listing. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change notice was found on Yelp, the Food Network page, or in Google's business listing.
