I was looking for a place for breakfast and my son recommended this spot ... so we gave it a try…read more It was quite good. A unique item they offer on the menu is the Greek Sausage. It looked interesting so I decided to make sure it was part of my order. And it tasted really good! It had a homemade taste, with a little bit of a kick to it from some red pepper flakes. Yum! The service was quite good as well. Looking forward to sampling some other items in the future.

Our second time here and it was wonderful again…read more First our server, Heather. She was as sweet as our tea. On that note she was very attentive and kept checking on us and kept our sweet teas full. Sorry no pictures today. But my Ham Steak (Farmers Breakfast) with eggs, potatoes and English muffins was very good and a decent size for the price. Wifey had the Windsor. She tells me she liked it. The place was fairly full at about 11:00 AM, but we still received our hot meals in maybe 10 minutes. I highly recommend this Smithfield location. I understand they have a new location currently under construction in Newport News. Really hope they maintain that one as well as this one. So go enjoy yourself a nice breakfast.

My husband had the gluten-free pancakes and he really enjoyed them. He also got their grilled pork chops which he liked. Their coffee is amazing, strong and hot! We shared the pecan Dijon salad. It was okay. We got a side of fries...hot and just the right amount fit salt. It's a very popular spot as we had to wait a little to be seated. But it is truly worth the wait! We will definitely be back!!

This is my second visit in about a year, but my first Yelp review for Laura's Rise and Shine…read more What I will say is our first and today's visit were solid 4 1/2 stars visits but I'll round up to 5. Our meals today were really good. Mine was the Skillet. Which was very filling and really good. The wifey had the omelette, which she tells me she liked. The best way to describe the meals is as close to home as you can get. Again the Skillet was a large amount of food. Be hungry if you order it. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times during our stay. This a cute place in a strip mall. So I again this was our second time here. Sadly I can't remember what we ate a year ago but it was good enough for us to remember it and come on back in. So an absolutely recommend this place for your breakfast meal. I assuming other meals are just as good. So go on in and if you have something different- share with us. Oh don't forget this is a CASH ONLY place.

This time we decided to eat inside instead of getting it to go. The food was served nice and hot…read moreand the portions are very generous. The flavor is phenomenal, reminds me of home cooking growing up. The place is small and gives the small diner feel. Our waitress was great and checked on us often but not too much. You can't beat the price. Can't wait to go back and try more.

They fried pickles may have been the best we've found on the peninsula. We also got chicken tenders, club sandwich, fries, and okra. The Acks Lager is also a great and cheap option!

Ack's Place is a nice easy place to grab food and drinks…read more Wait staff was quick to take drinks and follow up with refills. We didn't have any alcoholic drinks so no opinion on them except their prices on the menu were reasonable. Food was good and came out the way we ordered it. I didn't care for their wings. Too dry and didn't have good flavor for my taste. The burger was good and was slightly over cooked for how I ordered it but wasn't far off. It tasted good. The atmosphere is a bar and grill. Clean tables and most condiments were at the table. Overall good experience for bar fare. Recommend Ack's Place. It's better than most chain bar and grills and if you're from that side of the Hampton Roads, saves you a trip to the more populated restaurant chains locations.

Great little local diner serving up brunch and breakfast. The inside is decorated with fun mermaid…read moretouches, a nice nod to Norfolk. The value is very fair and the food was top notch. I ordered a corned beef breakfast sandwich on rye bread which came with one side. I got the breakfast potatoes which were nice and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. This place is really no frills but it's absolutely delicious and felt very homey. The servers were really kind and made sure that our glasses were always full. I could instantly tell why the place was packed, you can truly feel the sense of community in this place. Overall, this is a lovely spot to stop in for some breakfast or lunch that is decently priced and yummy.

Definitely a spot locals know best, but I felt like I belonged there just as well. This was a while back now so I can't remember all the details, but I was pretty happy with the experience so I wanted to leave a good review for the place.

It seemed to take a bit long to get our food..which is fine. I'd rather have the food done right vs not cooked right. As long as the food is cooked right, not cold and tastes good. Thank you to the chef and the server.

I chose to sit at the bar, and I'm so glad I did because I had the pleasure of getting to know one of their own, a truly special woman named Sadie. She made our experience unforgettable with her genuine hospitality and exceptional service. We started with the Southern Sampler, and the fried pickles and pimento cheese were my absolute favorites. Everything was delicious, and I already can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Before you leave, do yourself a favor and stop by the bakery and gift shop. It's full of delicious treats and unique provisions that are the perfect way to end an amazing dining experience.

I put off trying it for a long time, but I happened to be passing it on the way to a gig and figured I'd give it a hate try. I was expecting it'd be decent but nothing to justify the price tag. I asked the cheery and kind staff for the most popular options and they pointed me to the Philly Mac. Waited less than 10 minutes and had a pipping hot container to go. I couldn't wait to take it to the gig, I grabbed a couple bites in the parking lot. I wanted to not like this. I wanted to be able to say "yeah that's what I thought, overpriced and just okay". That was easily a top 3 best mac and cheese I've ever had. The noodles were cooked perfect, the cheese sauce was thick & gooey, the flavor was so rich but not overcomplicated. I'm lactose intolerant and I definitely paid the piper for that in the evening, and I'd gladly go back for a 2nd bowl it was that good.

This place came up on TikTok and as a Mac and cheese connoisseur, we HAD to try it…read more This place is difficult to find and the entrance is even more difficult to locate. There are no signs indicating that it is open. While this place looks completely abandoned, it actually could be open. You'll have to pull the door handle to see if it opens. (Not kidding.) I know this is a business that is just getting started and you have to start somewhere, but it could use a little TLC. Let's get to the food: I chose the build your own Mac option. Ordered the cheddar Mac and cheese with bacon and green onions. I'm very picky about Mac and cheese and this place nailed it. I loved it. I thought it was a good portion size along with a reasonable price. I would go here again for sure. If this is where they're starting, I can't wait to see where it ends up in the long run.
