    Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Laura H.

    If you want high quality service, fast, cheap, and delicious food this is the place to go! I got the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was so good, the chicken was cooked fresh and it had a crunch that made it so enjoyable to eat. The Greek salad is simple but taste fresh. My friend got the steak sub and it taste better than most restaurants, meat had lots of flavor. The owner of the restaurant is a friendly nice man. Restaurant is very clean and food comes out fast.

    Chicken Tender Wrap

    Rating: ***** An experience I'd always remember **** I am coming back *** I'd be willing to come back ** Wouldn't recommend anyone * Disastrous experience/restaurant **** My new staple brunch spot in Burke Review: Smith and Clarksons is a staple brunch spot in Burke, known for their sandwiches and chicken tenders along with house Korean-style fried chicken sandwiches. Hungry one afternoon with some time for lunch, I sought out looking for cheap eats in Burke. Strolling around in Burke town center, I walked into Smith's as I saw a decent amount of people eating and was curious as I don't regularly go to brunch spots. Thinking I had to try the chicken they were known for, I settled on a chicken tender wrap. Taking my first bites, I was greeted with a lightly breaded chicken with a balanced amount of sauce, just enough to taste it but not enough to take attention from the well-seasoned chicken in the wrap. Typically my favorite part of fried chicken is the texture but surprisingly I'm still very happy with this as the breading seemed intentional and overall it was well executed. On my next visit, I was running low on time but still wanted to try more of the menu so I put in an early pickup order of the turkey club sandwich. As I hadn't seen the pictures, the portion was a big surprise as I opened the box. Nicely cut sandwiches sat with a good quarter of turkey along with thin slices of tomatoes, textured bacon, and lettuce. Compliments to the person who makes the sandwiches at Smith and Clarkson although the sandwich is pretty big, the way they cleanly put it together and portioned it meant you never had parts of it falling out as you ate. Simply put, a basic but very well-made sandwich. Smith and Clarksons is a staple stop in Burke and has just become mine too, with their well-made food at reasonable prices (Chicken Wrap 9.89 & Turkey Club 11.99). I excitedly am waiting to return to try the Korean fried chicken next.

    Its my first time here and the food is fantastic! I recommend this for everyone! The customer service was absolutely wonderful. The place was really nice.

    Another early morning ride-sharing with the Hubby. And what do I do when I get to work early? I want to eat. Arrived right as they were opening at 7:30. The Owner, Alan, greeted me warmly and I ordered a number 3 which consisted of bacon, scrambled eggs, home fries and wheat toast(Yep. I am allowing carbs today as I plan to share with my coworker). The food came out quickly and was well-seasoned. I will definitely partake of this establishment again as they are close to my job.

    I have both dined in and carried out, for lunch and breakfast respectfully, and have been happy with the overall experiences. Breakfast has a variety of options and even a regular old breakfast sandwich (Egg over hard, ham (bacon or sausage available), and cheese on a toasted & buttered English muffin) really hit the spot! The lunch menu has a wide variety of both hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, and a few specialty Asian dishes. Typically there is a sandwich special and a plate special-both always sound delicious! Portions are large and prices are very reasonable. The only thing that is important to note is your food may take awhile because it seems they have consistent staffing issues. Since this is a busy plaza plus it shares a parking lot with Walmart, expect to park further away from the building. I can't wait to return to try the Chicken & Waffles!

    It's not a bad place for breakfast or brunch. Once you get in you order then find a seat. Food is brought out to you. Everything tasted good, nothing stands out but I liked the waffle. They top off your coffee just need to ask,

    Chicken tenders
    Sabrina D.

    First time in the cafe today. I order the 4 piece chicken tenders. Let me tell you the size of each of the chicken tenders was great. Each chicken tender was not too crispy on the edges. Instead, each chicken tender was lightly breaded and full/generous piece of chicken underneath. These chicken tenders actually top ranked. I was pleasantly surprised at my experience with the cafe. J would go back and am already planning another chicken tender order next week.

    Mom and dad merged with the kids to create this quick stop of a cafe. I wouldn't call it a deli, as the outside signage states. It's simple, it's fast, it's tasty! There is a blown up sign by the door as you walk in, direct to the counter. You order your food and pay at the counter, then someone hands you a numbered signage for your table. I had enough time to prepare my coffee and have a chat before my food arrived. That was the easy part. Choosing what to eat... it takes skill. The pancakes, waffles, and French toast have a lovely buttery, melt in your mouth quality, with a hint of cinnamon. The butter on top is whipped and begs for you to spread it around. No cheap cheesy cheese, no American, but stringy, gooey cheese in these omelettes. Drinks are standard, the staff is fresh, this is a nice spot for breakfast and lunch. I have more to try!

    Chorizo Burrito Breakfast

    This is the quintessential Mom & Pop diner. It's a couple and probably their son and another worker that make up the whole staff. The food is absolutely fantastic . The main drawback is that when the diner gets busy, the wait for your food gets a little long. The only upside to that is the food is worth the wait. I haven't had anything bad there at all. I highly recommend this diner, but if you can avoid the busy times (like weekend lunch, etc.) you'll get the fantastic food quicker. The ambiance is that of an older diner, but not in any way horrible.

    Small sandwiches with nothing extra. Take out food was cold by the time we ate it. The chicken noodle soup was the only thing redeeming.

    Very nice mom and pop place with a Korean twist. Breakfast was very good. The Belgian waffle here is better than most other places around.

The dinning area has a real hometown feel with conversation billowing from each table about individuals being regulars and discussing the last time they were here. The staff are primarily made up of teenagers who were all friendly and helpful. For food, we partook in a few things from the menu: - Chicken tenders (5) with fries - The American burger with fries - Western omelette with home fries - Avocado toast with home fries - Protein smoothie - French toast latte - Beignets (6 small) with all three sauces All the food was delicious and prepared just right. After reading the reviews, we decided to make a reservation. However, the hostess seemed frazzled and overwhelmed by something that did not pertain to us and the reservation appeared to not matter. The restaurant prefers you pay by cash or debit. If not, they attach a 3% processing fee. The only criticism I have is that the restaurant charges extra for anything not directly associated with your meal. For example, $3.50 for salsa, .50 per extra beignets sauce, .50 for bbq sauce, and $1.50 for fries with a burger. This is a small thing but can add up quick. Overall, this is a decent diner and one we will probably return to soon.

Soon as you walk in through the revolving door, you are greeted with a wood fire grill aroma that makes your sense of smell scream omg what is that and I'll take 2 please. There was no wait time, we were instantly seated at a small both for two. And yes the seats are comfortable. I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.
