It's been years since I left a review, but last nights dinner was pitiful…read more Dinner for 6 and a busy night. Ordered drinks, apps, apps came out quickly and were good (fried oysters and cheese curds). But our problems began when our waitress Lisa brought the drinks from the bar. My husband ordered the inkjet blackberry mint cider and was brought a beer, suspect it was probably DB, which he likes both but a cider is certainly not a beer. When he confronted our waitress and brought the discrepancy to her attention, she was argumentative and invited my husband to go down to the bar with her to sort it out. He took her up on her offer and did return to the table with cider not with what she had initially served him. Mistakes happen but piss poor attitude makes it an issue. Dinner was not great for any of us (steak frites x3, fried catfish, rockfish, and shrimp and grits). Fried okra, fried catfish, and the shrimp (fried and not fried) were the edible items. Food was unseasoned overall and needed hot sauce which we requested and received. We let the manager know of our issues when she came by our table, not looking for hand outs or comps but for majority of us having been in the service industry at one time, and one currently in the service industry, let her know the disappointment in the dinner but mostly with our waitress. Checks brought and our friend (the one in the service industry) was told when her check was delivered that the comped her husband's meal. The steak frites that were completely inedible with added shrimp. She looked at the bill and they ended up discounting the shrimp. Unexpected but a bit misleading considering it was the entree he didn't eat. We enjoyed our show after dinner. But we will never return to the restaurant, bad food and worse service.

Honestly it's more of a 3.5 but round-up-able enough for me…read more My son had a thing at Randolph Macon during spring break. He needed lunch before we hit the road home. After looking for someplace close we found cafe54. SUPER close to campus. My eggs were ok. The corned beef hash was the canned kind just like I like it, because some stuff you can make fresh and fancy up but that preservative, war time taste just hits and you know I'm right. I had coffee that would put hair on your chest. and an Arnold palmer that was kind of watery. Oddly enough I found those traits acceptable. My son had french toast. This is only the 3rd time he's had it (by choice) and he really enjoyed it. While brunch/lunch was a 3.5 in my book it was a 5 for him There is no tap to pay but they do take the usual cash and card. So just don't forget your cards in your pants pockets and you'll be ok. The place was bright and airy with outdoor seating and the service was just ok. Decent place. You should go in a try it out.

My sons and I stopped in for an early diner after hiking through York River State Park. We were immediately impressed with the decor and friendly service as we entered. The Blue Crab offers several great draft beer choices and their menu offers a variety of stellar options. We split their pickle chips and crab cake sandwich and my picky eater chose the grilled cheese. The food came out fast and tasted great. The batter on the pickle chips (spears) wouldn't stick but it didn't stop us from eating it. This is definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

Food pancakes bacon and sausage were good. Strawberry stuffed French toast were very disappointing…read more French toast stuffed with regular cream cheese and two strawberries. It was not a pleasant meal. I wanted to try the eggs but the forgot to put them in the bag. The cup of fruit was insignificant. The staff had us waiting at the door to be helped while they sat at the entry way and did each others hair. Atmospher was fine but we decided to to get the food to go. We wanted to try somewhere close by to dine but decided we will venture to the city next time.

I found this nice breakfast place, so decided to check them out. There was a 30 minute wait, so the…read morehostess took down my number and we waited in the car. We went in 30 minutes later because we didn't receive a text and we were told that she called our name 15 minutes ago and that there was something wrong with the phone lines. She did seat us immediately. We decided to order the Crab-Ocado Scrambler and their Shrimp and Grits. The Crab-Ocado had avocado that had seen better days. Everything else was ok. The shrimp and grits had too many ingredients, but that's because we didn't read what it had. We thought it was the traditional shrimp and grits, so technically we didn't like it because it had more things than we wanted. Overall, our experience here was not great, but we are always willing to try again and when we do I will update the review. We will definitely steer away from seafood for breakfast.

Sitting at the bar, we were served immediately and were able to order food. If you are lucky enough, you will get to meet local legend, musicIan Jimmy Catlett, where you can even enjoy a drink from the menu "What Jimmy Drinks". Luke was a very attentive bartender, server and greeter. With good insight into what is what on the menu and behind the bar. We even got to meet Sara Beth herself (sorry Sarah if I used the wrong one) the SB behind the name! If you don't lead with "Glitter on the Mattress" you are missing out! The atmosphere was welcoming, inviting and full of nostalgic decor.

This spot was exactly my vibe - vibey, colorful, dive bar like with friendly staff and great food…read more Came in at 9:45AM on a Saturday and got one of the last spots in the place, at the bar. The bartender Luke was on his game and got me water and coffee quickly there after. The place was busy but everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. The house coffee is solid and they did have a cold coffee option. The spicy bloody mary with the bacon was one of my favorites - definitely a more homemade vibe which was what I prefer. I also got their current jello shot (lemon and lavender) which was refreshing and big for $3. The menu had a bunch of items that caught my eye - breakfast burrito, pancake stacks, eggs benedict, etc. I went with the breakfast burrito with a side of sweet potato has. The burrito was great - filling but not super large, though I would have loved a tiny bit more jalapenos personally. Even without a meat, it was tasty and well balanced, especially with the side sriracha sour cream. I definitely need to come back to try the chicken salad or grilled cheese or some pancakes because everything looked fantastic. Service was quick, food was great, prices were solid. They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and friendly folks working. I'll definitely be back.
