Listen to the other reviews! Things started going downhill the moment we walked in (brunch on a Sunday morning.... 10am ish). There was no dedicated hostess, so we had to wait for one of the waitstaff to be free long enough to seat us. While waiting, we saw one table visibly displeased at the amount of time they had to wait just to pay their bill, and they had to flag someone down just to pay. Once seated, it took about 10 minutes for anyone to come take even our drink order. The waitstaff is all in regular street clothes, so at first we weren't really sure that the person was even a server. After the first person in our party ordered a drink (coffee), the server walked away. Not sure why, but we're thinking perhaps she was new and needed help putting it into her tablet? When the server brought our drinks to the table, she didn't even attempt to put them in the right location (apple juice for me, water for one person, coffee for the third); she just left them on the table for us to distribute. I'm guessing my apple juice must have been from a fresh bottle (or can?), because it was served on ice. Individual creamers in a bowl on the table were chunky.... luckily we noticed before it was poured into the coffee. On to the food: after waiting what seemed like a while for our food (they were busy, so we expected this, even though there were only three of us), my food was made incorrectly. When I informed the runner of this, she said she would have it remade. I again waited quite a while for my food (the others in my party ate so theirs didn't get cold), and when I finally got my food, I realized it was again incorrect, but I was hungry so I accepted it. We realized while eating that we were never given any napkins (silverware is provided in a paper pouch), but since nobody ever came to check on us, we were never able to ask for any. Servers around us definitely seemed to be focused solely on their own tables, so we weren't able to ask anyone else for any either. I ordered a veggie omelet, which while eating appeared to have a slice of bacon inside. After closer inspection by my husband, we realized it was fried cheese not bacon. Not long after my discovery, we noticed the table next to us complaining about something with their omelet to their server. A few minutes later, the chef? / kitchen manager? came out to speak with the table. I'm unsure who this person was, because he too was in plain clothes. It seemed like they were complaining about a slice of bacon they also found in their omelet. A couple of minutes after he went back into the kitchen, we saw ANOTHER table picking what also appeared to be a piece of bacon out of THEIR omelet and hand it to their server. When our server noticed we were done eating, she came over to ask if we were done and ready for our check. We said yes, and also asked for a couple of napkins since we didn't receive any for the duration of our meals. When she brought us the checks, she also brought napkins, and handed me a glass of water and asked if I "meant for it to be to go?" I was puzzled, because nobody at our table had asked for a refill of their water (I didn't even have water). While paying our checks (HEADS UP: 20% gratuity is automatically added!!!), we noticed the owner(?) came to the table next to us (that had been talking to the chef), and we were able to hear her say that the customer was incorrect that it wasn't bacon she found, but rather fried cheese. I don't know what the outcome was of the conversation, as we were leaving, and weren't really listening anyways. All that to say, we definitely won't be returning to this restaurant. We all ate our food, which was decent, but the overall experience was less than desirable. read more

The service here is amazing loved the food definitely recommend the French toast there not the plain old French toast there deep fried French toast first time coming here loved it !!! read more

The food was so good. We live in Va beach and just happened to be in Suffolk. It was a little crowded so it's obviously a local favorite. I ordered corn beef hash and it was perfect. The sausage links were fat and juicy. The hash browns were cubes potatoes seasoned. I definitely recommend Oh and my husband got lunch. He got a Reuben with onion rings and said it was the best he ever had. read more

Came in for brunch with friends. The restaurant has a very inviting ambiance and the staff are friendly. The food was very tasty, enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower. The French toast was crunchy and similar to a funnel cake. Delicious. read more

The story behind the name is heartbreaking , This place I have rode past numerous times we finally went in. I found out about the name and face behind the business and I send my deepest condolences to the family . The Waitress Latrona was great. Not only was she humorous, she was energetic, nice and friendly and beautiful face to see as well. The food was great and everything was done in a timely manner. Thanks for the great service, We will be back. read more

The food was great, but cold. The server said they are transitioning a new cook. The bacon was burnt beyond recognition. Even after reheating it still was cold. The waitress was understanding and nice. I would come again. read more

We've eaten here four times and easiest way to describe everything we've had so far is mediocre. Unfortunately they lose a bit for the poor service we have received here. Our last two visits were the worst. The one before last took an hour for our food to come out. To make it worse after an hour our server hadn't even been back to our table. After we were finished eating I had to go find her to get the bill. The food has the same care. Most our food was room temp and had clearly been sitting and they forgot my sons food all together. On the fourth visit the service much better but the food was just as mediocre. The triple b salad tasted like it had been made a few days ago. The eggs were over cooked, the tomatoes on my burger looked old, and the burger itself was bland and over cooked . only reason we even gave it a third try was because we wanted brunch and decided we would rather give our money to a local owned restaurant than a chain. Unfortunately it may be my last time there. In a positive note our servers have been very nice. read more

The food was excellent! We had reservations part of our party was seated and the other party was seated 30 minutes later. Reservations should be honored differently. Otherwise a good experience. read more

Just average food and service. For the price I expected better quality. The atmosphere is just average.

Great food and exceptional service from friendly staff! I'll definitely be back to sample some of the breakfast items!

Delicious family owned brunch place! Super cute decor; the vibe when you walked in was already great. Our server was quick, portions were great. Prices were just right! read more

Mismanagement at its finest. First it was seat yourself then we will seat you. No menues because you seated your self. Did not feel welcome. Wait staff had an attitude. Will not go back. read more

This is an Omelet ? I decided to give this place a second chance because of what it stands for. The first visit was on a Sunday so I attributed the quality of food and service to it being Sunday Brunch. Today is Tuesday afternoon and this isn't ANY BETTER. read more

The food was Great ! The place had a cozy quaint atmosphere! The service was excellent and the people was friendly.

Lovely family owned business with a lot of options. French toast is delicious, we will always have this as a side item. We will be back!

I really wanted this place to be great since it's so close to my house. I gave it two chances and was disappointed both times. Both times it took 40+ minutes to get our food. And the food was mediocre at best. Their menu is overly complicated with weird nautical names that takes about 15 minutes just to read though. They also play their Christian music on BLAST no matter how many people are in the place. I actually don't have issue with the music itself, but it was so obnoxiously loud I could barely have a conversation. The servers were nice but all seemed inexperienced. The food was overpriced and nothing special. If they can somehow tone down the music, simplify the menu and somehow step up their quality of food, this restaurant might make it. read more

My wife and I tried Liam's for the first time last week. The experience was great, the atmosphere was perfectly tailored for relaxed morning brunch or late lunch. Their was a large variety of food to choose from. The service was quick and concise. I would recommend this place to everyone. I look forward to eating at Liam's again. read more

Very slow service and the two times we had brunch there it was sub par. Will not be going back.

Waitress was great! The French toast was absolutely delicious and paired great with their mimosa flight!

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Rueben Sandwich. Both were very tasty and have me wanting to come back to try something else on their menu. read more

The best pancakes I've had in ages! Light and fluffy and filled with the fruits I chose. The staff was friendly and helpful. A definite must try if you haven't. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Came on a Friday afternoon with 4 adults and 3 kids and service was great. Great brunch options, we all enjoyed our meals. Great to have a good local option for breakfast and brunch in the North Suffolk area. Come check them out! read more

Their French Toast is Amazing!!!! Best I've had hands down!!! Great new spot with a great atmosphere! Definitely going back!!!

We went to Liam's for brunch & the service was exceptional from the staff to the kitchen. Everything was clean, the food was delicious & the menu items are one of a kind. This little Diner is definitely worth checking out !! Money well spent, best on East coast !!! Our server was Ashley, you should ask for her ! read more

Just left and this place is AWESOME! Wholesome, clean, and the food was great!! All the waitresses are really sweet but Ashley was our waiter and she was the final stamp and approval for me to make me regular here. 10/10 recommend !! read more

Very disappointed!! I asked for a BLT with no fried egg on it. I made a huge point of not wanting that egg on my plate, nd my husband could have my fried eggs. What did I get? A BLT with egg on it, and why would you ruin a BLT with egg anyway?? I said this is not what I wanted! She asked me if I wanted them to remake it. Of course I said yes. What happened, she brought it back minus the eggs which were on the plate the cook moved them over to. Now cold. The hash browns were cold. They were all smiley when we left, I'm sure they thought they pulled something over on me. But, I told my waitress I was not happy and I knew they just took the eggs off my sandwich and slapped them on the other plate. If that's how they treat their customers, they won't last 6 months. I will never go back!! read more

Place was very busy on a Sunday for brunch! They said we would have about a 20 minute wait but more like 10 minutes. Service was kind of slow though but chalked it up to the business being busy; not intolerable! Food was really good, I had an omelette while my teens had deep fried French toast...all was amazing! My 2 year oldeven ate all of the omelette from the kids menu while coloring! Overall, a nice experience and will visit again! (4 stars because slow service!) read more

My mother in law found hair in her food so the waitress was great and provided her with a new plate of food unfortunately somehow that one also had hair in the food. We also waited a very long time to be serviced with not a ton of other customers in the building. The server stated they have been telling them to wear hairnets. I haven't been back since. read more

Every time I come here, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The prices are reasonable and the food comes out super fast. I've been coming once a week since it opened. If you've passed by wondering if you should try it, the answer is yes! read more

Although I had seen many good reviews I was unprepared for the amazing blend of personable service, the quality of the food and atmosphere I encountered. It was the best breakfast I've had out in years. The details of the decor and glimpses into the intimate details of the namesake and owner's life made one feel like you at their beach house. So did the made-from-scratch cooking. The portion sizes were as overwhelming as the quality of the ingredients and their preparation. The format seemed weird; an eclectic drink menu and bar area for a place that closes at 3PM? But I'm sold and looking forward trying them for lunch. read more

Nice, very clean place in a good location. There is a nautical theme and it continues in the menu. The sandwich I got there was very good, along with fries. A little pricey but done very well. The only drawback being the time it takes to get you order together. I phoned my order in, didn't leave to pick it up for another 15 minutes and drove 7 minutes, only to wait another 20 minutes. The place was not busy. My coworker said she had a similar experience, good food, long wait. So, if you're not in a hurry, by all means check them out. The food is good. read more

I understand that this Bistro is in a "soft opening" phase for 2 weeks now and are constantly fine tuning and listening to all customer inputs. From my understanding the "Grand Opening" will not occur until all foods served and associated service consistently meets owner's and customer expectations and the Full Bar is operational. With that said and understanding the significance of the name "Liam's Deaner" my heart melted. I have had the Compass and and Reuben sandwich meal with Onion Rings and both have been picture perfect, tasted great and service was great. The prices are fantastic when you see the amount of food you get. Needed take home box. This Restaurant - though has only been open for 2 weeks is Blessed and will become a common name for many. Wish Yall the best and may God Bless. Of course it's hard working as a fine tuned machine when going through a somewhat complicated "soft opening" Recommend all try it out and see for yourself. read more

Situated in the Harris Teeter shopping center, close to ABC store this breakfast and brunch venue was perfect. The owner is a former Egg Bistro (Harbourview) employee so she knows what the public likes. They have been open only a couple of days but i foresee them becoming a favorite breakfast spot for many. The food was awesome. Check out their menu online. Its our favorite from now on. read more

Only 1 star because I can't give them a zero! Our food took over an hour, two of the four meals had missing items. The waitress checked on us once the entire time. Finally, she brought food for theee of the four people, and then forgot the foruth as she started bringing things to another table instead of bringing out all the orders. We had to ask someone else to bring out the fourth meal! When they realized they messed up one of the meals, it was like we were the inconvenience and not the customers. The fourth plates missing items was never addressed because we couldn't even get our waitress to stop by our table! They made sure to show us on the bill how they were extra careful not to charge us for the item we would have been upcharged for, had we actually gotten it. There were four tables with people at them, why did the food take so long, and why was the service so horribly slow. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable, the service was slow and nonexistent for the majority of the time, and the food wasn't even that good. Save your money and go to a better diner. "Premier diner", yeah right! Premier is NOT the word I would use. read more

The plates were all dirty when they came out. They were so bad we decided to cancel all of our food and leave after the appetizers came out. The staff then tried to say that it was just water spots. We had two people from the culinary industry in our party, and they both said that the plates were dirty and that they wouldn't eat the food. There was a crust on one of the plates. Maybe their dishwasher was malfunctioning, but I wouldn't trust this restaurant to provide food that was safe for my family. read more

Been here twice in the same week. Ordered the French toast plate ( eggs/hash browns/ choice of meat-turkey sausage) first day and was surprised with the amount of food that came. It was a lot! Second time was pancake plate (same sides)....same amount of food! All good was hot and cooked just as I ordered it. Staff was friendly and kept coffee/water filled. Cost was a little more than cracker barrell but portion/taste/ and timeliness were worth it. I will be going back. read more
