We had hoped to sit outside, but were told there was a large group on the patio and they weren't sure whether any tables were available, so we ended up inside. I had the Main Street Burger with provolone and fries. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable. My dining partner had the veggie burger and found it a bit dry. The Pinot Noir was passable, but not especially good. Service was good and everything was perfectly pleasant--this just wasn't quite our kind of place, especially with so many interesting local options in the area.

They're located right next to one of our favorite spots Amirtha Curry. They're only open past 5pm. Let's see how things went When we walked inside, one of the staff asked if we had a reservation. Turns out the place is small with probably 11-12 tables in total. But luckily, a table was available and we were able to be seated. The decor inside was spotless and a bar is in the middle. The next time we dine in, I'll be sire to take photos when I get the chance. After looking over the menu for a few minutes, we decided to order a Denbigh pizza, one of their red sauce items. The toppings were pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. Since they were out of sausage, we chose ham as the substitute. Very good stuff. The pizza was cooked perfectly and there were plenty of toppings before our very eyes. We ended up taking half of the pie home where it was still delicious when warmed up. There you have it. We have both found a hidden gem in our neck of the woods. Yoi know we'll be back soon :)

Super impressed with this one!…read more When you walk in, it seriously feels like you stepped into a 90s movie diner, and I'm here for it! They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!

Based on what we had and the speed of food delivery, I'd give Farmer's Table on Warwick 4/5 stars…read more We had four burgers, a chili dog, and tater tots. I think the tater tots were my favorite part - they were the perfect crispness. Burgers were delicious but messy, especially when your kids don't understand how to eat a burger with the paper wrapped around it so the toppings don't drip out and fall apart. The grease didn't soak through the buns like other people talked about, but it definitely had some liquid coming off. Still, delicious! There were a lot of people in line to order when we got there, and we were worried it would take a long time, but the orders were coming out pretty rapidly and we didn't wait too long. They do have some coloring books and a puzzle to keep little kids entertained while waiting, which was much appreciated. They also have a small farm shop in the next room with various items for sale. Overall, we would come back to support the farm-to-table concept, but not necessarily because of the food.

The food was just OK, the calamari was good, but they included the tentacles and they were actually pretty gross. The chicken wings were all right, my salad was average. The other customers that were in the bar area seem to be regulars, maybe four or five people. Overall, just a very strange experience. A really large establishment with very few employees and very few customers. Definitely don't think we will return.

Overall Rating: 4/5 I had a bit of a mixed experience here, but I will definitely be back!…read more My wife ordered the steak, and it was so good that I think I ended up eating more of her meal than my own. Next time, I am absolutely ordering the steak for myself. On the downside, our waitress was clearly new and very nervous. She forgot to input my food order as well as our table's bar drinks. Unfortunately, both my meal and the drinks arrived after the rest of my party had already finished eating. Despite the service hiccups and the restaurant being incredibly busy, we were seated in the back, which was surprisingly quiet and pleasant. I plan on returning and hope the service is a bit smoother next time!

Food: 3/5 My cocktail was okay (Pain Killer). It was a little too thick to drink alongside of my meal. The honey butter croissants were the star of the meal. They were warm and delicious! The ribs were another highlight, they were falling off the bone and tasted so good. I also enjoyed the broccoli cheddar casserole and the fried shrimp. I didn't particularly care for the green beans because they had a sweetness to them and I prefer savory green beans. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed my meal. Cheddar's offered a lasting impression, as this was my first visit. I definitely plan to return in the future.

They were…read moredoing some remodeling when we visited, so indoor seating wasn't available and we took our food to go. The service was fantastic and genuinely helpful. Before putting the South Carolina mustard sauce on my pulled chicken sandwich, they even had me taste it first to make sure I liked it. I did--and the sandwich was delicious. The basket came with fries and was a winner. We also tried the pulled pork sandwich, which had a really nice bit of spice, and the pork rib platter with candied yams and onion rings, served over rice with a biscuit. We liked all of it. Friendly people, generous food, and really good BBQ. This is exactly the kind of unassuming local spot I'm happy to find while traveling. Would definitely return.

I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.

We were seated right away luckily due to another big party not showing up for their reservation. So with Mother's day, you would have thought they planned better. Going on Mother's day, I was mentally prepared for delays but not like this. Also, the food took over an hour. Smaller parties that were sat after us received their food faster than ours and our food didn't come out hot. The food itself was OK, not very seasoned and bland. I took half my meal to go so I could hook it up myself for breakfast tomorrow. Bright side: our waitress Crystal was very sweet and had great recommendations for our meals. I enjoyed her service. They had a limited menu but allowed us to add veggies to the eggs which was nice. I'd be willing to go back on a less busier day to see how the food and speed of cooking really are.

Not sure how to describe the vibe- clean modern feel with a touch of cozy here and there - like the sofa when u first walk in. Pros: Cool sofa for waiting on a table or maybe cocktails? Krista was our server and she was delightful. Friendly and helpful - let us know her favorites and got our order in quickly since we couldn't take too long. Nice cocktail selection and even better range for apps and mains. Loved the ahi tuna flatbread!! Our favorite of the apps. Could have ordered for dinner and left very happy since it cost less too lol. Seared scallops were delicious- the sauce and fresh corn were amazing. Shrimp and grits had an impressive depth of flavor and the spinach and tomatoes were a unique addition. The black bass was also very good. Cons Prices on the higher side even for a fancy restaurant in Richmond. Didn't love the complimentary bread and butter: I appreciated trying to make the butter something unique- going for savory and sweet the white chocolate and herbs but the white chocolate didn't really work for us as an ingredient. Felt like the bread should've been crusty for butter like this and not the soft rolls they served. Didn't care for the pork belly appetizer. Instead of being crispy, it was just tough.

I felt comfortable and engrossed in conversation with the staff and other patrons in a way that had me coming back the next night for dinner again. All too often, the sports-pub vibe will let you down, but this place takes each item on its menu seriously and cares considerably about what they're plating in front of you. It makes me feel like something special is happening in that kitchen like the show "The Bear." If the bartenders ask you if you want the potato salad as your side because it's made in house, then trust him. He's telling you this for a reason because you're about to embark on a culinary experience of a lifetime. What I assume is typically a college bar, this place is quite a wonderful little find. Mind you, I happened to come through on two evenings during the summer holidays so maybe the vibe is different in October but I can't recommend it more based on my experience.

Maybe it was an off day, I don't know, but I think I finally found the worst pizza I've ever tried…read more I see some of the reviews say great pizza and some say soggy pizza. I came in for lunch today with 2 teenagers. We ordered a large cheese pizza. Not one of us ate a 2nd piece. The cheese and sauce were both pretty flavorless but the crust was really weird; like eating a double layer of cardboard. The bottom of the crust was pretty well-cooked, almost burnt, so maybe that's why. It was tough and flavorless. Not at all like any other brick- fired pizza I've had. Would not recommend.

I have to admit I have only visited a BJ's Maybe once or twice over the last 10 years and I'm not…read moresure what city or state which tells you a lot about how memorable of a visit it was. That being said I was in the Hampton Roads market for a event for one of my clients and we decided to have dinner at BJ's. This was mostly based on the location, and the fact that our party was familiar with the restaurant chain. We actually made reservations for eight and arrived about 45 minutes early. We were told that our server that we have been assigned to, had not arrived at work yet. And therefore we could not be seated. So we decided to wait at the bar until our server showed up. BJ's is a brewery with a pretty large footprint and this location wasn't any different. However, we found out that the outside seating area was restricted or actually closed permanently because their cushions have been stolen repetitively by the local homeless population. Go figure. Anyway, the other thing that was memorable about this location Is they keep the air conditioning really crispy. So I would definitely advise bringing a jacket or sweater If you run cold like I do. The menu is pretty extensive and features a variety of steak, chicken and popular bar food items. I ordered the Tri tip and shrimp scampi combo, which was pretty pedestrian but they tri tip itself was pretty tough. I ordered it as rare as they would serve it, which was medium, and that's still wasn't a sufficient enough cook. Ultimately I rate spots like this Pretty low on the excitement scale but if you're looking for a consistent experience in a brewery like environment I guess this could pass.

We started off with the appetizer sampler and it was good. I would say skip the spinach dip; it wasn't cheesy it was more like a sauce. Mozzarella sticks were good quality but wasn't more than a regular mozzarella stick but the wings?! Yea next time I'm going straight for the wings, they were crispy not rubbery at all. The fat was nicely rendered down and they were still juicy. Even my wife cleaned the bones and she never does lol. For entrees I built my own flatbread with pepperoni bacon and onion, 10/10. If you love pepperoni's make sure to get that because they load it up. My wife got the brewhouse chicken which was good, the chicken could've used a better sear on it but it was still tender, nice lemon flavored sauce to contrast with the savory potatoes. Give them a try! I'll definitely be back
