You are helped quickly and your order is made fresh! However, I was let down by the final product and sandwiches I ordered. They were pretty expensive for what I received. Unfortunately, I would not recommend eating here UNLESS, there is a vast improvement in the preparation of the bagels and the overall breakfast sandwiches. The photos don't match the quality of the food.

My husband got a smoothie with the fresh fruit and it was great! No sugary mix. I didn't realize but they also serve fresh juice- so I'll be back to try that. The menu is large! I saw several things I'd like to go back and try. This time, my husband ordered a quesadilla and I the monte cristo panini. Both were a bit messy to eat but oh so flavorful! We also got a side of curly fries which were good. We commented several times on how the prices seemed very reasonable. We ate inside but saw some placing or carrying out to go orders. Staff behind the counter were friendly- even offering free coffee for us.

Our second time here and it was wonderful again…read more First our server, Heather. She was as sweet as our tea. On that note she was very attentive and kept checking on us and kept our sweet teas full. Sorry no pictures today. But my Ham Steak (Farmers Breakfast) with eggs, potatoes and English muffins was very good and a decent size for the price. Wifey had the Windsor. She tells me she liked it. The place was fairly full at about 11:00 AM, but we still received our hot meals in maybe 10 minutes. I highly recommend this Smithfield location. I understand they have a new location currently under construction in Newport News. Really hope they maintain that one as well as this one. So go enjoy yourself a nice breakfast.

My husband had the gluten-free pancakes and he really enjoyed them. He also got their grilled pork chops which he liked. Their coffee is amazing, strong and hot! We shared the pecan Dijon salad.

We will definitely be back!!

This is my second visit in about a year, but my first Yelp review for Laura's Rise and Shine…read more What I will say is our first and today's visit were solid 4 1/2 stars visits but I'll round up to 5. Our meals today were really good. Mine was the Skillet. Which was very filling and really good. The wifey had the omelette, which she tells me she liked. The best way to describe the meals is as close to home as you can get. Again the Skillet was a large amount of food. Be hungry if you order it. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times during our stay. This a cute place in a strip mall. So I again this was our second time here. Sadly I can't remember what we ate a year ago but it was good enough for us to remember it and come on back in. So an absolutely recommend this place for your breakfast meal. I assuming other meals are just as good. So go on in and if you have something different- share with us. Oh don't forget this is a CASH ONLY place.

Now the restaurant service left much to be desired. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but scarce. After at least 15 minutes she finally approached the table saying she thought we wanted to catch up. How nice. But we are here to eat lunch. Here's a tip. If I say please give us some time to chat then come back in 15 minutes, THEN do that. My eggs and grits bowl was good and the turkey sausage patties were inedible. Also for some reason they always serve a mix of sweet and white potatoes. I do not eat sweet potatoes ever. Dana I beg you stop putting them in everything from soup to entrees. The salad bowl is an odd shape and difficult to manage. No place to set a utensil on the lip. The vibe is industrial cool and very spacious. More attentive service and some food changes would be better.

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!

"Tasty Egyptian food not far from Peninsula Town Center"…read more Came here for some takeout on a Saturday, around noon. The restaurant was brightly lit and had modest, comfortable seating. We ordered at the counter. It seemed like only one person was working there-- the same person at the counter seemed to go back into the back to fix the food. We ordered Egyptian salad, baba ghanoush, fried fish sandwich, hawawshi, and a cup of cold hibiscus tea, all to-go. Given it was just one person working, it took about 30 minutes to get our food. One other person walked in as we sat there, but no one else, and no one was sitting at the tables eating. All of the food was delicious. The seasoning on the hawawshi was fantastic-- great meat and peppers. The baba ghanoush was unusually spicy hot-- almost enough to give me hiccups, but great flavor. The fried fish was excellent. And the hibiscus tea was tasty but had a bit of grittiness to it-- couldn't tell if it was from a mix or had a bit of undissolved sugar. Prices were all very reasonable, and the lady fixing our food was friendly and apologetic for the wait (noting it was the hawawshi that needed extra time). Overall, great food, freshly made. I wouldn't go there if in a rush or with a large group (unless ordering in advance), but if you want tasty Egyptian food at a decent price, this is a great option.

Very clean, lovingly decorated with pictures of the owner and his dog, who I think is the inspo behind their logo. My twin and I were greeted by a very nice, cheerful lady who told us what the special were and was patient as we made our selection. I was really feeling like some clam po boy and I wanted potato salad even though the special call for tots, but hey, I want what I want, right? The food was DELICIOUS and very well seasoned. I like how generous they were with the clams spilling out of the bread and slathered with some tasty remoulade. The potato salad was a nice, satisfying scoop and was a delicious pairing with the sandwich. I would love to make this a regular spot when I go to Virginia.
