185 in Poquoson is the Real Deal -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more It is always unplanned trips that allow me to explore a bit and glad I did. I was sitting in the parking lot of a large chain breakfast pulled up Yelp to see what I might be missing. Glad wasn't lazy...15 mins later I was in the parking lot for 185! If you haven't been to 185 on Little Florida Road in Poquoson, you are seriously missing out. This charming, family-owned neighborhood gem is everything a great local restaurant should be and then some. The moment I walked through the door, I felt it. You're not just a customer here; you're a guest. The welcome was immediate and genuine and set the tone for the whole experience before I even sat down. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries, and wow, it delivered. I was surprised the blackberry chipotle sauce worked BERY WELL! The brisket was tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Paired with perfectly seasoned sweet potato fries, it was the kind of meal that sticks with you long after you leave. This isn't reheated, thrown-together food, you can taste the love and craft in every bite. It was like Woman Power this morning with all ladies from front to back. Their whole vibe was awesome from the front of the house to the back. I have to give a very special shoutout to my waitress, Tiffany... she was absolutely AWESOME. Attentive, personable, and full of good energy, she made the whole experience even better. The kind of server who makes you feel like you're dining with a friend. Looks like 185 was ranked #87 on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in 2023, and after my visit, I completely understand why. The owners obviously had a beautiful vision and it is being executed incredibly...to my benefit today! Five stars, without question. When I am back in the area....I'll be back, and I'm bringing my wife will tell everyone I know.

The small size…read moresurprised me, the mismatched tables and chairs had a vibe of its own and made it a kind of homey invite. Only 1 table was empty and we were seated quickly. It was clearly a local favourite and there was quickly a lineup with people willing and expecting to wait. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good home cooked meals and came out quickly. I had brisket scramble and it was delicious. It needed the sweet compote to balance the richness. My wife had the biscuits with gravy and eggs were good. There was lots of sausage in the country gravy. The cheese grits were tasty. Overall the food was very good and a solid experience. Since I live with a chef who cooks this quality of food often, I probably wouldn't drive here, however if we were in the area I'd definitely stop here and try other items as well.

Fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared!!!!!…read more Farmer's Table is a standout spot for anyone who appreciates fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish I tried felt carefully prepared, with flavors that were balanced and satisfying. The salads were crisp and vibrant, and the entrees were hearty without being heavy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable, happy to answer questions about the menu and provide recommendations. Overall, Farmer's Table delivers consistently excellent food and a welcoming dining experience. It's a place I'll gladly return to and recommend to anyone looking for a fresh, quality meal.

I rank my decisions to eat somewhere again as: 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it, I would rather go hungry. 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options are open and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go

Kinda pricey for what you get. Food was good but two of the six of us ordered the daily quiche…read morewhich was supposed to be chicken Parmesan with onions. One order was correct. The other quiche was broccoli and cheddar. When brought to the manager's attention, he said sometimes they run out and instead serve a "backup" quiche. Seems very odd the kitchen wouldn't have alerted the waitress so she could ask us if that was ok to substitute. Manager offered to replace with something else but I didn't want to wait another 20+\- minutes for my food while everyone else ate. Also, don't order the crab and corn chowder. I didn't see any crab. It tasted decent but should've been called potato and corn chowder. We won't go back.

And the cobb salad with grilled chicken added. Overall it was an amazing experience!

Saté raises the bar considerably for quality restaurants in Newport News. Service is excellent and…read morestaff will remember you; not just one person but every single staff member you interact with. The food is of consistently high quality, prepared well, with care, and plated beautifully. It's easy to tell the food is fresh and made from scratch. Great live music with a cool vibe (instrumental; relaxing), even on some weeknights. Saté is elevated without feeling exclusive; you might feel out of place in a t-shirt, but you won't feel unwelcome in the slightest. I will frequently return to enjoy a meal here. Personal favorites include: Mac & Cheese Egg Rolls, Nana's chicken, and of course, the amazing butter that comes with rolls (you might have to ask for them, but they're free! Some menu items are seasonal; leaving the only disappointment of this restaurant the fact you might not get the same incredible dish twice.

From the moment you walk in, it's a…read morefull sensory experience that hits every note: sight, smell, sound, touch, taste, and most importantly, the vibe. If you're looking for a total body experience, this is it. The presentation alone is a work of art on a plate--almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. The aroma greets you at the door, teasing you with exactly what you came for and setting the tone before the 1st bite ever lands on your tongue. There's a perfect balance between a lively, energetic kitchen and a culinary dance that knows exactly how to set the mood between you and your wait staff. I love watching a kitchen that truly moves together. The way the kitchen and waitstaff flow in harmony tells you everything you need to know before the food even arrives. And then there's the food itself--textures that crunch just right, silkiness where it belongs, and a mouthfeel that's been thoughtfully mastered. Every bite delivers. The flavors explode, layering the fundamentals with deep, savory umami that lingers long after the plate is cleared. That lingering sixth sense... the feeling that stays with you is matched only by the vibe. It's that rare sense of being exactly where you're supposed to be. And where you're supposed to be is here, experiencing this food for yourself. Get on over here and tell us what you think. It will absolutely be worth the time you take out of your life to experience this culinary delight.

I ordered the BBQ chicken tacos and a batch of buffalo chicken wings. The tacos had that…read moreslow-smoked flavor you can't fake -- the chicken was tender with a slightly charred edge, tucked into warm tortillas and topped with just enough sauce to bring everything together without making it messy. Each bite had a nice mix of smoky and tangy. The buffalo wings came out hot with a crisp outer layer that held onto the sauce really well. The heat level was just right -- enough to notice, but still easy to enjoy without reaching for water every second. You could tell they were made fresh, not sitting around. What stood out was the consistency between both items. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together. The setup itself is simple, but the focus is clearly on getting the food right. Alpha Pit Smokers delivers bold, satisfying barbecue with a straightforward approach that works. It's the kind of place you'd return to when you're craving something with real flavor behind it.

I kinda understand why, but then again, if you're gonna have a business like this) I kinda don't. Ribs and jalapeños smoked sausage were not available. I was told that for ribs, you should contact them 24 hours in advance. This was a deal-breaker almost, 'cause we really wanted to do the ribs, and there was no indication that some items might not be available. The food and appetizers came out at the same time, so our table was loaded, and we could not eat fast enough before it got cold. I shared my displeasure with my server, but she just gave me the "deer in the headlights." look. The drinks were weak and expensive. There are a few arcade games and plenty of space. Service is ok, but not great. The food was ok; some items were dry. The fries were hot, and nothing special about the service. Cool place to hang out, watch games, and drink beer, but it's just ok.

Waited over an hour for wings and potato skins but you gotta give it to them everyone pitches in. Bouncer checked on my order 3 times and bagged it up for me. One of the few places that has crispy hot wings and not all wet. Potato skins sat too long and got mushy but tasted okay. To my shock I ordered a dry Vodka martini and it was perfect which never happens on the Peninsula. They gave me a lemon twist for the glass rind nice big thick olives on fancy toothpicks and a very nice martini glass not just any Ole glass and it tasted like a martini and not spiked water. We will be visiting again soon cause me and my doggie like to sit outside on the patio

I ordered the crabcake sandwich with onion rings and hubby ordered the brisket hash with eggs. My sandwich was delicious. The only things that kind of threw me off was that it was fried instead of broiled. To be honest, I wouldn't have ordered this only because I do not eat fried food. It was still very good. Hubby really enjoyed his brisket hash and eggs. The food was plated very pretty also. This was a cute diner, and I can't wait to come back and try their brunch/breakfast when I'm in town next time.

The patio is a good size and has waiters servicing it which is convenient. Trying to get a drink took a while so we just decided to get a bucket of beers to minimize wait time. With such a large group this was the best approach. Our waitresses were trying to keep up and our group got food pretty timely. They have pool tables, TVs and other activities so you don't just have to stand around. One of the women's stalls was broken leaving one stall which made going to the restroom a chore too. Overall this is a fine place to go drinking on a Saturday night. I think they are opening a new building so looking forward to seeing how it changes the quality of the experience.
