Sometimes finding the perfect meal or snack is about using Yelp to it's fullest. And sometimes, in…read moresmall towns, it's about knowing the right people. This is one of those moments. I was in what SEEMED to be the middle of Nowhere,VA recently, doing some fire department things. I caught up with a department friend who lives in the area, who decided lunch would be at Mr. J's Elkton Express. I wasn't skeptical, but I also wasn't optimistic.But I do trust Tim, so off we went. What a lovely surprise! A lot of their menu seems focused on bagels, so count me in! Though I'm marginally a bagel snob, as I worked in NYC for many years. But my breakfast sandwich, on a toasted Everything, was incredible. Coffee was tops, too. Small town feel. Even though people didn't know each other, there was chit chat, friendly banter, the type of community and connection that seems sorta cliche but is so very heartwarming in person. So. Great service. Excellent bagels and sandwiches. Pretty good coffee. Zero complaints. Definitely a good place to pop in for a quick lunch, get snackies to go, or even grab a bunch of bagels and sides for a party or meeting.

There is parallel street parking in front of the store and also nearby. Their FB page says that they have a minimum of 24 flavors at any given time, and some of the flavors switch out. We got coffee, chocolate chip cookie dough, and coconut almond chocolate chip ice cream flavors -- all three were delicious! The coffee flavor was strong and perfectly sweet. Prices are very reasonable! If you just want a single flavor, I actually recommend getting 1 scoop - the portion size was honestly similar to the 2 scoops in the end so it seems like a better deal to me. If you want different flavors, go for the 2 scoops or more. You can sample different flavors in store. My only negative is that I don't believe the ice cream is made in-house -- looks like it might be sourced from Hershey's according to their ice cream containers. Still tasty though and if I'm ever in the area again, I'd come back! The employee was wearing a mask.

And their prices were so reasonable. Wish they were down here in Charleston. I'd be there all the time. Good luck.

The area is a local spot that would draw a crowd; Offering multiple restaurants and a small Brewery in the area. There is ample outdoor seating and parking. My only criticism is that they do not offer a regular cup of coffee. They brew espresso and water it down instead of having a pot of coffee ready, which takes some time. However, I'd come back.

We loved it so much that we came back a second time before heading home and ordered another one to-go for our daughter (yes, it survived the 2-hour drive!). The staff was kind and efficient, and the restaurant itself was clean and well kept. This spot has officially made it to the top of my list for future visits.

After searching lobster ravioli online, this restaurant came up, and the photos looked so good that we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. However, it took a while before anyone came to our table. Two younger waitresses were standing in the back talking with someone they appeared to know, and after about 15 minutes, another staff member finally asked if we had been helped. When I told her we hadn't, she immediately took our drink and food orders. The atmosphere was pleasant and family-friendly, with a relaxed vibe. Once our waitress took over, she was amazing--attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. It was well worth the visit, and I'm so glad I found the place again. I'll definitely be making a trip back!

So stopped in around 2pm on Saturday and at first glance of prices you'd probably think hmm a bit high for a slider but its a pretty good deal 2 sliders a side and you get a free drink. Wife and I got 4 sliders the Chicken Bacon Ranch, the Prime Rib Burger, and the Honey Mustard Chicken BLT. with Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad and two teas. There is clearly a sign that says everything is made fresh to order and this is not Fast Food. Yes it took a while but we didn't care we weren't in a hurry and the picnic tables were nice and so was the weather. When the food was ready it was neatly packed on a tray, the whole time we could smell our food cooking and we could tell we were in for a treat. We dug in to the Chicken Bacon Ranch first and were delighted, it was delicious the rolls were nicely toasted and had a great buttery garlic flavor. Next cracked open the Prime Rib burger and it was well seasoned and delicious with the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle, all were fresh delicious. Last was hands down our favorite as we have a palate for honey mustard and that was the Honey Mustard Chicken BLT. This was delicious I only got a few bites while my wife took the rest. Really can't complain about the sliders they were so good a meal is definitely 2 and a side as the sliders are of nice size and being sliders its nice to be able to have the ability to have various options for sandwiches to enjoy. Now if I had one complaint it would be the side salads they were generic nothing to write home about, edible not great, next time I think I would go with the fries as they are made to order and I absolutely believe that. Melissa is super friendly and hard working, I am glad I saw her place while driving through Elkton and was able to enjoy the food she is sharing, hopefully others will stop in and try her Sweet Tea and Sliders.
