    blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon
    Rae G.

    I have eaten here previously some time ago, but every time I am in the area the line is outside to get in with at least a 20 minute wait, often longer. I remembered they have scotch eggs, and while these were small, they were tasty and nicely prepared. My blueberry pancakes were full of plump blueberries. The two with me raved about their choices. The portions were huge. Service was friendly and responsive. The space is small but makes good use of the space with tables, with a small outdoor seating area but it is easy to see why it fills up so quickly, especially on weekends. The food is so good and the price point as expected. It is easy to see why this is such a popular eatery. If I could get in the door when I'm in the area I'd love to be regular!

    Chicken & Waffle
    Cinnamon V.

    We went Food Craft in Newport News for breakfast and really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and welcoming. It's a nice place to sit down and enjoy a good meal. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. I had the ribeye and eggs, which were cooked perfectly for me. It's a thin ribeye so medium to medium rare is perfect to me. The chicken and waffles were good too. The waffle was light and delicious, and the chicken wings were big and crispy (just could use a little more seasoning). Overall, it's a solid chicken and waffle. The wait time is usually around 20-25 minutes, but it's worth it once your food hits the table. The food does not take long after seated which is always a plus.

    Steak and Eggs

    The wait was expected and absolutely worth it. Our party of six received excellent service throughout the visit. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and very family-friendly. The food was exceptional-- I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were perfectly prepared and generously portioned. The chicken was flavorful and crisp, and the biscuits were so delicious that we ordered an extra batch to take home. Highly recommend!

    Pancake platter
    Nisha L.

    The food was good and came out quick and hot. I had the pancake platter with turkey sausage and scrambled eggs and a mimosa. Paid $20, couldn't beat that. Service was good and the ambiance was welcoming and busy. Lemonade Mimosa was good

    Food Craft has been on my list for awhile and I'm glad I finally tried it out. Met up with a friend who suggested we get there early. Came in around 830 and was seated quickly but this place filled up fast! It's a traditional diner with simple good food. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the French toast with the crispy edges!

    They were not busy when I visited...

    I finally had an opportunity to visit Food Craft. On the weekends a line forms on the sidewalk, and due to working during the week so I usually do not have an opportunity to stop in. And to be honest, I'm not sure what the excitement was all about. Interior is fairly basic, no frills, with one wall having signage with sayings and photos of customers. Seating was ample and the staff did seat me quickly. I had a veggie omelette, potatoes, biscuit and coffee. The food came very quickly, and while the omelette and biscuit were good and warm, the potatoes were cold. I noticed the omelette sat over some of the potatoes which warmed some of them up. I thought about saying something, but I kind of let it go...and should not have. The person who waited on me had almost no inflection, almost impersonal to somewhat mechanical in delivery which I found to be surprising. As soon as I done eating the plate got wisked off the table (I almost said "you must be short of plates..."), and while told "No rush", the check was also delivered with speed. It was not like they needed the table (see photo). To be honest I felt like I was getting the bums rush. Overall...the food was average to good albeit cold potato's, and while at a reasonable price, with the impersonal service and the perception of being pushed, doubt I would ever visit again. I hate ending 2025 with such a negative review, especially about locally owned businesses which I prefer to support. I also want you to know I have edited and reviewed my comments more than once to see if was being too harsh...I concluded I wasn't. Sorry.

    3rd time was just as bad, corn beef still burned and hard as a rock.

    We normally come to this restaurant every Sunday upon opening. Everything was great until New Year's Day 2026. We ordered as normal and our food came out burnt. We sent it back several times and it looked like burnt eggs were mixed with fresh eggs. A cook or someone from kitchen came out and looked at us and returned to kitchen . We ended up leaving paying for our tea some have burnet food. Took pictures for proof. Will probably never go back. Very up setting because food was always perfect before this. I wish I could give 5 stars because eggs looked pretty good. Just no meat to go with it so we left starving. Had to hit 1star to post this.

    Foodcraft was on my radar to try for a while. They have a fried green tomato burger and also a fried green tomato salad so I knew I had to try one of them. I tried the salad this time. Next time I'll try the burger! Service is friendly and very quick. If you're in a hurry, you'll be fine. If you want to relax and chat, you'll be fine

    This place is always great. They usually have a line out the door from opening until about 12. We have been here more than 6 times in the last year and maybe more and it's consistently good with great service. If I had to be not picky the only negative isn't really negative if you understand. Then they are busy with a line out the door, when it is obvious you're finished and have paid they politely ask if you're done. It makes sense because they need the table for more customers. We have only been asked once and it was very polite. Again, I highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. Great food, great service, fair prices, and good ambience.

    10/10 I highly recommend. Myself, my husbae and another couple dined here a few Sunday's ago for brunch. Our guy friend only eats turkey so I had to put on my handy dandy Yelp gloves to search for a place with great reviews and had turkey options on the menu. After an extensive search, I came up with this place. We arrived close to 1pm I believe, and there was a wait to be seated. We waited about 25 minutes, but it was worth the wait!! The staff was super friendly and our food came out in like 5 minutes or less it seems. Our server, Evette, was comical and easy on the eyes. She made some suggestions of what was good and items she recommended since this was our first time visiting. I ordered the ribeye with eggs and check out the pics to see what the other diners ordered. It seems like I remember them ordering pancakes and they said they were really good. Nevertheless, we ate it all!! I had about 3 ounces of steak left that I took home and ate it the next morning, so good! My husbae was a little disappointed because they did not have his Crown Royal, so he could not have a libation with his meal, bummer! Because I sholl had a mimosa and it was tasty. Parking was plentiful as this place is located in a shopping center. This was a 40+ minute drive for us, but well worth the hike. We will definitely visit sometime in the near future to check out other menu choices. Take care, have fun and enjoy life :)

    This is such a cool place tucked away in a shopping plaza in Yorktown. The food is excellent! I had the grilled salmon salad, a side of turkey sausage, and of course a blueberry pancake. Everything was delicious!! The fluffiness of the pancake was amazing. The service was decent. I also had a poinsettia (i.e., a cranberry mimosa). They have a bar area, and a good amount of tables. They can also accommodate groups. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner items - but only during breakfast and lunch hours. I can't go back to try something else.

    Great food great service great seating will be back to my mom she doesn't eat anything but loved it here

    Iced coffee (no refills)
    Yoonie L.

    I've heard so much about Food Craft, so when I knew I was going to be in the area, I decided to meet up with some friends for a breakfast date. - Parking - It's located inside the Village Square center in Yorktown. Parking is plentiful. - TLC - The restaurant was pretty full for a Friday morning, but we were seated right away. We got an awesome doll of a waitress! Super chill, personable, laughed at our silly jokes (that always scores bonus points with us LOL) and she put up with my friends and I haha. More bonus points. - Sips + Noms - My friends and I like to eat family style so we can get a little bit of everything and get to taste it all. Iced coffee - looked like chocolate milk. I think this is one of those premade flavored type of iced coffees you get at the grocery store in the carton boxes. I was fine with it. Scotch Eggs - This was the first time I had scotch eggs and I thought these were tasty. Not overdone. The yolk was still yellow and not green, which is a sign of over doneness. Definitely a great plate to share, but I don't think I would eat a whole plate of it on my own, unless I treated it like a meal. Fried Green Tomatoes - These were great! Tender green tomatoes and I loved the crust around it. Served with some creamy white sauce. Ranch? Chicken & Waffles - I heard from my friend that they had some great chicken at Food Craft, so it was a no brainer in ordering something with chicken. Getting it with waffles made them even better. Country Fried Steak - I was actually pretty impressed by the steak in this dish. I thought it was just going to be thin steak egg washed, battered and fried. They went a step further and pounded it, tenderized it, to the point that it almost looked like a hamburger steak, but thinner. I really enjoyed it, the mashed potatoes could have used a bit more salt or even more of the sausage gravy. Cinnabun pancake - one of my fave parts of the breakfast! It's fluffy, cinnamony and just delicious. My friend and I fought over every piece and cleared that plate. We should have ordered more of the pancakes and cut out one of the other plates! Blueberry pancake - one of my friends ate this one. I'm sure it was about the same fluffiness as the Cinnabun ones. I didn't hear any complaints. Biscuit - one of my friends ordered this last minute and I got to taste a piece, and it was great with the whipped butter from my waffles and some strawberry jam. I would definitely go back and try other things on their menu. They had other things like burgers, sandwiches and house specials that can be served all day, I believe. Stay safe, Friends!

    Did they have a restaurant in Virginia Beach at one time?

    Is it welcomed to relax there and do some paperwork on computer?

    I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very busy restaurant that often has a long wait, it isn't a sit there and work place.

Situated right under the York River bridge, not far from the Yorktown museum, is the cutest village. I'm sorry, they can't claim it as part of the original Yorktown but it is cute. There is a lovely river walk...hence the name of the restaurant. They have some of the BEST views in the area being right there. We had reservations however it being the busiest day for restaurants, we had to chill our heels for a few moments before being taken back. I was more than ok with this as we ended up getting a window seat (see above for reference). Thank heavens they put the name of the server in the receipt cuz y'all know my Swiss cheese brain. Cara was the wonderful server who took care of us. She was always there ready for me to get my mum good & spoiled. Super friendly and very helpful. The buffet, it was impressive for a buffet and while not a big buffet, it was specialized. First up were 3 different kinds of salads, then a fruit platter, and bagels & cream cheese. They had a raw bar with shrimp & oysters next, then breakfast stuff (eggs, potatoes bacon etc) mac & cheese, garlic mashed taters & then a carving station with turkey, ham & lamb. Finally a small but respectful dessert table. If you couldn't find something to fill you, you weren't looking. The single sour note of the buffet was the salmon and Mac & cheese. I'll know better next time. Overall the River Walk has come back with perfect timing and style. I highly recommend a visit. Parking is a pain but patience will help

Just a side note: It's a bit off putting when there are several signs telling people that they must claim their table within 5 minutes or lose it; and that you only have 90 minutes at your table. It feels aggressively inhospitable, especially in writing on a chalkboard, at a restaurant where hospitality and service are a part of the experience. It seems unnecessary to me but I imagine that's how they try to ensure they can keep tables moving/turning over. ‍
