I was vacillating between 4 and 5 stars for this latest restaurant offering from the company that…read morebrought Mango Mangeaux a block down the street. I went with 4 stars this time but could be inspired to bump it up next visit. This eatery is open very reduced hours, Thursday thru Sunday from 1130am to 5pm. We got there at noon and followed a large group in the door. None of us were sure where to go exactly, but had I not been stuck behind them it would have been easy to figure out. Basically there is a large, beautifully appointed dining space with lots of seating configurations. This is not an all you can eat buffet. This is a cafeteria. Everything is a la carte. You approach the glass food cases, grab a tray and silverware and wait for one of the staff to offer you your choice of salads - I saw a pasta salad, fresh fruit, and the fixin's for a tossed green salad. We opted for the fruit salad and the tossed green salad. Then we approached the entree case where I spied liver and onions, meatloaf, baked chicken and some other offerings. The special of the day was a mango sauce pork chop. My friend opted for the pork chop and I got the liver and onions. The liver portion was huge - two large pieces of liver which was very tender and tasty. My granddaughter got the mac and cheese which appeared to be very cheesy and of the homemade variety. She ate all of her fresh fruit and some of the mac and cheese, which is more than she has eaten most places we go. I did not get any food photos as I forgot until we were well into our meals. There were some bread options including corn bread muffins. I got one that came with a small dollop of butter and it was sweet but not anything special. There was only one dessert option that I saw that looked like sweet potato pie and we passed on it. Drink options include sweet tea and mango lemonade. I would love if they offered the mango iced tea they have down the street. I did not see unsweet tea which is my drink of choice. Now to the reason I went with 4 stars. I had no idea what I was getting, what came with it, and how much it was. I paid for the pork chop, liver, salad, fruit, corn muffin, mac and cheese and 2 drinks and it came to about $35. That seems very reasonable and certainly not shocking. But I could not tell what the offerings were as they were not labelled, I did not know what came with sides and what didn't, and after the fact I noticed a very small sign about a children's meal, and found out it is spaghetti, bread and a drink for $4.99. I would really like to have the various options clearly identified and know the prices. I believe prices are posted on very small signs but not in a way that caught my attention or made sense to me. I am just one of those people that likes to know what my options are and know what I'm spending. Call me quirky that way. Limited hours must meet some demographic they are hoping to reach, perhaps the Sunday after church crowd fits perfectly in those hours. Still, a cafeteria concept can work and fill a niche in the revitalization of downtown Phoebus. Depending how long the serving line gets, because standing in line is not how I like to spend my meal time, I would like to give this eatery another chance soon!

I kept seeing rave reviews of this spot and finally visited at the end of March. Tried the stuffed…read moreportobello. Omg! Everything about it was good, the texture of the mushroom, the cheese (vegan?), the plant based sausage. I inhaled it and the carrot soufflé, which I'd never heard of though apparently everyone else has. ;) My first time trying maque choux as well - decent. This meal was amazing and I had a great time inhaling it at the waterfront a block away from the restaurant. 2nd visit, April 1st- more carrot soufflé please! Tried the cabbage - a green herb is included in the seasoning, tastes like basil or oregano or a blend. Different. I like it. Their salmon croquettes have a crust I'm not used to - maybe cornmeal? Some of the edges were overdone. Inside was meat only, maybe a few grains of rice, which isn't the best for salmon cakes, as they need something to keep them moist. These were on the dry side but edible. 3rd visit - more carrot soufflé please! 4th visit - went on a Sunday for the first time, which is when they have turkey wings. I ordered carrot soufflé and cabbage as sides. Was told that it comes with rice as a side and normally the soufflé would have to be an extra, separate side, but she went ahead and allowed me to opt out of the rice and have both my sides of choice. (I would have gladly paid an up charge for a premium side). Lots of turkey, good gravy. There is no picture evidence. Inhaled. 5th visit - cousin treated me to a delivery today. Turkey wings, rice, and cabbage pictured. I was trying to fight a carrot soufflé addiction and didn't request it. I regret it. ;) Cuz said thanks for hipping her to the spot - she walked out with 4 entrees herself ;) :O

My husband and I visited here for Cindo de Mayo and I'm sure as many other places it was standing room only... we did wait close to 2 hours to be seated but I must say all in all it was worth it! I ordered the shrimp quesadilla minus the onions and my husband decided to get tacos... 1. shredded chicken taco 2. a ground beef taco and 3. A shrimp taco. He enjoyed every last one of them! My quesadilla was great as welI. I also ordered a large fresh margarita (La Flaca) and I was only able to finish half of my quesadilla. Nevertheless this place definitely knows how to deliver Superior customer service. The Ambiance is already lovely from the outside to the inside and the food I think it's very good, very good. If you're looking for a Mexican place to try that's located in Suffolk definitely add this one to your list. We have dined at the bar before as well as the seating in the dining area and both Services equally 10 out of 10. Parking never been an issue. There are a few parking spaces up front but there's plenty parking on the side ... Definitely worth a visit. Have fun and enjoy life. :)

Myself and wife ordered breakfast , they only have pork with zero turkey meat options. I ordered the waffle which is only available on the weekends and the one I received was burnt.

Grits were not that good either , I wouldn't recommend unless you been coming here and dealing with this sub par food and service , prices are ok I guess you get what you pay for!

Locally and Black-owned in Norfolk, this lunch counter style gem is nothing short of classics you don't see that much anymore. So, on arrival, you can have a seat, and a hostess or cashier will come out and take your order. The chef will take your order if you sit at the lunch counter. Either way, your food will be cooked to order right when you order so that it will be fresh! The main star, hotdogs, is on the menu, but you can also get burgers. Crinkle fries come with the meal or chips. Now, these hotdogs come in all ways, so review the menu carefully of the options. The ingredients are made fresh all day to ensure you get your food that way. Did I mention they serve breakfast? Yes, they have a breakfast menu as well. Seating at the counter is a treat because there is TV to watch, and you can see the Chef prepare your food. The price is excellent, too; two hotdogs, fires, and a drink were about twelve dollars. This place is GREAT for lunch and breakfast; I will be back. Happy Yelping.

Been in search of a good hotdog location, and being at this place has several different locations, this one particularly was good. The gentleman that took our order was pretty knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us make some decisions. I love that the hotdogs were well done and a little crispy, that's just how I like it. We also got fried pickles delicious. The atmosphere was like an older type of vibe, it was a little hot, but we were okay under the fan. You can definitely tell that there are a lot of regulars that come through here. The bathrooms are clean, and the food came out in a pretty good timely manner. Check out one of their locations and see how you like it!!

Let me tell you these were some of the best pancakes I've had in the 757 hands down fluffy, perfectly golden, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Whether you prefer classic buttermilk or something more adventurous, each stack is a delightful experience that keeps you coming back for more. The Philly cheesesteak omelette is an absolute standout as well. Packed with tender strips of steak, melted cheese, and sautéed peppers and onions, it's a hearty and satisfying dish that perfectly complements the sweet pancakes. The balance of savory and sweet options makes this place a must-visit for any breakfast lover. Exceptional service, cozy atmosphere, and unbeatable food quality make this pancake house a top choice for breakfast or brunch. Highly recommended! Yeee!!!

We also got the Greek pizza which had olives and feta, and I'm not gonna lie. The olives were not as strong as I thought which is fantastic. Everyone should really try out Mike's pizza!

What a surprise!…read more We had a quick bite here before going to the Chartway Arena for a show and my husband wanted something for lunch. It was packed, probably with people doing what we were doing, but there were several seats at the bar so we snagged three and were greeted pretty quickly by a very friendly waitress. She made recommendations at my husband's request and suggested the special which was two hotdogs with topping of your choice, half order of fries or tots and a drink. He went with that and we ordered a single cheeseburger for our toddler. Food was out quickly - probably less than 10 minutes and the burgers and fries were piping hot and very good. My husband was pleased. Their menu is much larger than I expected with tons of burgers, sandwiches, some salads and other things. Our waitress and a few others checked on us while we ate to ensure we didn't need anything. Very good service. I think we will definitely come back.
