About On Thyme Restaurant
On Thyme Restaurant is a Wilmington, North Carolina restaurant located at 918 Castle Street, open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm. Owned and operated by Corey and Phallin Scott, the restaurant serves what the owners describe as 'tavern food with a twist,' with chef Corey Scott experimenting daily in the kitchen to create inventive specials alongside the regular menu. On Thyme grew out of the Scotts' earlier On Thyme food truck and catering businesses, and the restaurant now operates alongside those original ventures, offering On Thyme Brunch Thyme, the On Thyme Food Truck, and On Thyme Catering in addition to the sit-down restaurant. The business promotes its most popular menu items and encourages customers to check out its full menu, and it maintains an active presence on Facebook and Instagram where it shares updates and specials. Beyond serving food, the Scotts have used the restaurant's success to build community ties, sponsoring local organizations and hosting events that spotlight local artists and makers. The owners describe listening closely to their customers as the key to the business's growth, and reviews and repeat business from the food truck era helped build the loyal following that supported the restaurant's opening.
On Thyme Restaurant was opened by Corey and Phallin Scott after they built a loyal following with their On Thyme food truck and catering businesses, which launched in 2020. Before starting their own ventures, the Scotts worked in the food industry for others: Phallin Scott cooked at Eddie Romanelli's Restaurant in Leland, while Corey Scott worked in New Hanover Regional Medical Center's cafeteria. The food truck built a following on 'tavern food with a twist,' with Corey experimenting in the kitchen daily to keep the menu fresh and interesting. In just a year and a half, the food truck and catering operation won enough fans that the Scotts decided to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Castle Street in Wilmington. Less than six months after opening, the couple was already looking for ways to give back to the community that supported them, including sponsorships for local organizations and events that spotlight local artists and makers. The Scotts credit their success to a simple approach: listening closely to what their customers want and adjusting accordingly, a philosophy that carried over from the food truck into the full restaurant.
