    I ordered the biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs, grits, and a piece of scrapple. The gravy was too thick, and I didn't really enjoy it. The scrambled eggs were okay, and the piece of scrapple was too large--maybe they should use a smaller loaf. Also, I tried their waffle, which was difficult to cut into and chewy, similar to mochi. Overall, the food is average. The ambiance was busy, and the place feels a bit outdated. The service, however, was excellent--very attentive and friendly.

    I am always looking for great breakfast spots! This was such a good find. My spouse and I decided to go catch the sunrise and go for a nice walk in Yorktown, after which we decided to look for nearby places to go have breakfast. Jackpot! we loved this place. Great customer service, very nice people, and the food was awesome.. they were very attentive and the coffee nor the water ever ran out. They were on it. We can't wait to come back!

    Biscuits with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and home fries.  So yummy
    Carolyn V.

    I ordered the sausage and gravy combo with home fries. I liked that they asked if you wanted onions and peppers with the home fries, I said no. The sausage gravy was yummy, flavorful and a bit peppery which is how I like my sausage gravy. Biscuits were light and fluffy. All the staff were nice and attentive. I recommend stopping here for breakfast or lunch. I don't think they're open for dinner.

    Wish I could give this place 10 stars. Never had a bad meal and always look forward to seeing " our Eggheads Girls!" They have the best perfectly cooked scrapple. My husband adores their catfish. Take a look at my breakfast this morning! Caramel Apple with a side of crispy, creamy in the middle scrapple!

    1/2 lb cheeseburger with fries.

    Nice ma and pop dinner with very friendly and efficient staff. I have been craving a good cheeseburger for sometime now and this burger hit the spot. You can see by the posted photos that most customers get, or at least post, breakfast items which is available anytime, in fact the whole menu is available during open hours (breakfast and lunch only).

    We made a U turn when we saw all of the cars in the parking lot! You should as well! Outstanding customer service and good food!

    The food is absolutely to die for! I love the burger and Ruben!! Service was fantastic and staff very caring. Very clean and fast service. Very accommodating to customers and any allergies you may have.

    Cheese Omelet Egghead Bowl
    Paula H.

    I got the Egghead bowl. It's your choice of omelet ingredients served over home fries with gravy over the top. It is served with your choice of toast or biscuit. The bowl was delicious. The biscuit was light and fluffy. We had great service as well. The restaurant is clean inside.

    Eggheads is a staple local breakfast diner. The service is always top notch, they are very attentive, and flexible to large parties, and bring food out fast even when it is busy! They always take good care of us here. The ambiance is low key country diner and a strong local crowd. The food is always delicious and the prices are reasonable. The specials are a highlight of the menu.

    My husband and I had a lovely 11th wedding anniversary brunch here today and it was outstanding…read more From the service - our waitress, Jess was phenomenal: super friendly and kind and patient with all of our questions, as it was our first time here; the food: OMG, the food - I swear I'm gonna have dreams about my "hangover plate" tonight - the biscuit was so soft and fluffy, topped with a delicious gravy, scrambled eggs and cheese; and cheese grits, YUM; the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and felt very homey and comfy. My only complaints which are very minimal -- #1: there was fresh squeezed OJ listed on the menu but is no longer served and I'm a sucker for fresh squeezed so it immediately grabbed my attention; and #2: I wish I'd known I could do half grits and potatoes - I should've asked, but I overheard a local/regular customer ask for that after I'd already gotten my plate of food in front of me. But 100% satisfied with the grits, so no complaints with what I ordered and ate, just would've liked to try the potatoes, too!

    Outstanding From Start to Finish 185 Restaurant absolutely…read moredeserves its 2026 Coastal Virginia Magazine Gold Awards for Best Breakfast, Best Brunch, and Best Comfort Food. I ordered the Hangover Plate, and it was exceptional. The homemade sausage gravy over a fresh biscuit, topped with eggs, cheese, and bacon, was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. The seasoned home fries were perfectly cooked and complemented the meal well. We also tried the 185 Cheeseburger, and it was equally impressive. The burger was juicy, cooked exactly right, served on a fresh brioche bun, and topped with fresh ingredients and a delicious smoky mayo. The service was friendly and attentive, the food arrived hot, and the portions were generous. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. It's easy to see why this restaurant continues to win local awards. If you're anywhere near Yorktown or Newport News, 185 Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

    My husband and I stopped for a late lunch, and were happy to find an updated menu of diner…read morefavorites with some creative additions. We shared a dinner portion of oysters plus a Chesapeake burger, both of which were perfectly prepared. The oysters were huge and succulent with a very light breading. They were accompanied by fries and Cole slaw, with cocktail and tartar sauce on the side. The burger was cooked medium rare as I requested, and was especially tasty since it was topped with lump crab meat, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. I got it with sweet potato fries, which were dusted with a touch of cinnamon and were a perfect side kick for the burger. We ended up taking home about half of each meal because we wanted to leave room for ice cream It just seems wrong to leave a well-preserved early 20th century diner with a soda fountain and counter seating without having some sort of ice cream! We were pretty full, so we shared a hot fudge sundae, which was definitely big enough for us both. It had vanilla ice cream, a generous portion of hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and two cherries (since we were sharing). We had a choice of wet nuts or peanuts, and I chose peanuts, as the salty flavor is a nice complement to the sweetness of the rest. Overall, we enjoyed this visit and hope to come back. I'd like to try the Caprese Burger and maybe have more oysters. They offer gluten free buns as an option, which is a helpful touch as well. Whether you live in Matthews or are just traveling through, it's worth a stop.
