It reminds me of an old diner with a cozy feel and cushioned booths. I had the Patty melt burger and it was so good. It had Swiss cheese, sauerkraut , caramelized onions and garlic aioli. I had it on a gluten free bun and it came out marked gluten free so you know it wasn't mixed up in the kitchen. I also ordered fries with Parmesan and garlic. They cook their normal fries in beef tallow but Gluten free fries are done in canola oil for a dedicated fryer. I couldn't resist trying the crispy fried cheerwine Brussel sprouts. It was definitely a new spin on Brussel sprouts. I can't wait to return to try the wings and the spam fries along with the pastrami burger. Everything was amazing, I just wish I had a bigger stomach.

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

The beet salad was earthy in a good way with a great mix of beets, nuts, brie cheese,and fresh greens. The smoked chicken was not dry with a smoked flavor . The creamy greens had an excellent texture . I actually ate all of the grits ( I am usually not a fan of grits). They had a mashed potato taste/texture and were amazing!

A fun feature: dog bowls filled with popcorn were brought to the table to enjoy while our food was being prepared! This is a new location for the Hound's Tale. It's quite large and it has a separate bar area. Parking is free and plentiful in front.

Low and behold there is a Freddy's in Williamsburg, so we decided to take a little "part-of-the-day trip" to chrck it out. Upon entry, everyone working there greeted us and were super friendly. It was pretty busy in there, and i found the tables and chairs to be super close together and i felt a little claustrophobic. Maybe it was the abundance of the color red. The lady who took our order at the counter was very patient while we figured out the menu, which is mostly smash burgers in a variety of iterations, along with a variety of sides. I ordered a "single cheeseburger " with a side of shoestring fries. The cheeseburger is actually a smashburger that is practically a paper-thin "burger". It was very bland, to be honest. Their burgers, unless otherwise specified, come with pickles, mustard, and onions. The shoestring fries were awesome. Simple, not greasy. My husband got 2 Steakburger Tacos, which he said were "just okay". He also got a side of tots, which he found to be overly greasy. We couldn't leave without trying some of Freddy's Frozen custard. I had a small cone of vanilla, which if blind-taste-tested against McDonald's soft serve, i wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Which is fine. We also got a chocolate malt shake, which was super good. Was it worth the drive? Meeeeehhh. The best things were the shoestring fries and the milkshake. Oh, they also serve Pepsi products. This is the first time that I have ever seen Pepsi Zero in a soda machine at a fast food restaurant. That was pretty cool. It's the little things. Would we go again? Unless there was a much closer location in RVA, probably not.

After ordering, you receive a receipt with a number, and when your order is ready, the staff calls your number for pickup--smooth and efficient process. The manager walked around checking on guests, making sure everyone had a great experience, and even took time to explain their rewards program. He also offered a to-go box for our leftovers, which was a nice touch. The nostalgic diner ambiance added a fun, classic feel to the visit. The hamburgers were on the thinner side but had great flavor--better than many other burger spots I've tried. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely stop in again!

During our most recent meal, we enjoyed the blood orange martinis, the ham and mozzarella appetizer, short ribs, fish special, and crepes dessert, plus a bottle of pinot noir.
