First time since new owners took over. Food was mediocre at best... So overpriced…read more I ordered a Greek salad and was given FOUR pieces of tiny cut up pieces of chicken that were an add on... I'm talking smaller than a nugget. Server was nice enough. We were the only people here. They brought 3 more tiny chunks of chicken when I asked. I shouldn't have had to. Kids chicken tender meal was SO bad. I couldn't figure out why my daughter wouldn't eat it so I tried a piece of chicken. It was dry and completely salty. Not just a little bit salty, inedible. For 3 of us it was almost $100 Sadly wont be returning.

The $10 Bypass Salad was underwhelming--mostly shredded lettuce with very little else, and definitely not worth the price. The wings seemed baked instead of fried and were overly drenched in sauce, which took away from the flavor and texture. My burger was decent and probably the highlight of the meal, but the fries fell short and didn't complement it well. Service also seemed a bit off. We shared our disappointment with our waitress, but there wasn't really any acknowledgment or response, which added to the overall experience. Based on this visit, it's hard to justify a return

I stopped by Mister Jim's in Chesapeake and unfortunately, my experience fell far short of…read moreexpectations. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and was told upfront that it would be about a 20-minute wait on the grill, which I was completely fine with. But after 50 minutes had passed, I finally had to go up and ask about my order. When I finally got my food, it was clear things were not handled well. The fries were made immediately and left sitting in a closed Styrofoam container the entire time my sub was cooking. By the time I received them, they were a soggy, wet pile of fries with zero crisp left. As for the sub itself, it was about 90% bread and maybe 10% actual filling. It took three hard, crusty bites before I even reached any meat--and when I did, the flavor was disappointing and lackluster. Definitely not what I expected from a place known for subs. Their "Italian dressing" is really just a ton of oil with a tiny splash of vinegar. They should just call it what it is instead of something misleading. To top it off, I had to ask someone to wipe the table before sitting because it wasn't cleaned. Overall, this visit was a miss from start to finish. Long wait, soggy fries, a flavorless sub, and unclear menu descriptions. I really hope they improve consistency and quality, because my experience did not match the reputation they seem to have

A dinner at Court House Cafe in the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake is a reminder of why certain…read morelocal institutions endure. Consistency--both in the kitchen and in the dining room--has made this longtime favorite a reliable choice for those who value substance over flash. The service reflects that same steadiness. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing--always ready with thoughtful suggestions for anyone navigating the menu. I began with the garden salad, a straightforward but well-executed mix of fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet Vidalia onions, finished with housemade croutons and a balanced balsamic vinaigrette. It's a simple dish done right, which sets the tone for what follows. The she-crab soup--an award-winning staple--delivers exactly what you hope for in a classic rendition. Rich, velvety, and deeply satisfying, it's best enjoyed in a cup unless you plan on making it the centerpiece of your meal. For the entrée, the French Dip stands out as a clear highlight. Built on a soft roll and filled with thinly sliced prime rib--slow-roasted to achieve both tenderness and depth of flavor--it's served with a properly seasoned au jus that brings the entire sandwich together. It's a dish that leans on quality ingredients and careful execution rather than unnecessary embellishment, and it succeeds because of it. Court House Café continues to earn its reputation the right way: consistent food, thoughtful service, and an atmosphere that feels rooted in the community it serves. In a dining landscape often chasing trends, this is a place that understands the value of doing the fundamentals exceptionally well--and doing them every time.

I may sound bias because I'm from Great Bridge but I consider myself a connoisseur of sandwiches…read moreand one of my favorite sandwiches is a pastrami reuben. Court House Cafe's reuben is THE best reuben sandwich I've ever had. The pastrami is tender and doesn't get caught up in between your teeth like other places and just enough sauerkraut to not be overbearing. The steak fries are always hot and crisp. My only gripe is that I prefer Heinz ketchup with my fries which they do not have. The service is always top notch and the girls there are always friendly. My drink was never empty. Now, wait times may vary but it is worth the wait.

Way overpriced, yes I know, it's even worse through doordash, but we were craving their food. Sadly they royally f'ed up our order. I received a burger with spicy fries (not the garlic fries I ordered) and unfortunately I'm allergic to whatever this spice is they put on the fries instead, so those went directly in the trash. What about the reuben, you ask? Wouldn't know. They didnt give us that sandwich AT ALL. How do you forget an entire meal? So basically I paid $70+ for one burger. And doordash would only give me back $55 of it. So thanks for nothing McGraths. We wont ever be ordering from you again.

The kind of wholesome, local place that makes you want to linger. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, with a welcoming staff who clearly care about their food and community. The highlight for us was definitely the ice cream. I tried the Cookies and Cream, and it was honestly one of the best I've had, and Im not a big cookies and cream girl. It was super creamy with generous chunks of cookie throughout. You can really taste the difference compared to more commercial spots. I love that their menu is full of homemade, farm-fresh options! Besides their ice cream, they have a wide selection of sandwiches made on their own bread, homemade soups, hand pies, and a tantalizing bakery case with things like donuts, muffins, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. If you're hungry for lunch, their custom sandwiches let you pick your bread, meat, and cheese .... everything tastes fresh and you can't go wrong with any combo. The bakery itself is adorable and smells amazing from the moment you step inside. We picked up a few baked goods to take home, and everything was deliciou. Even the simple chocolate chip cookie had that perfect homemade flavor. I can't recommend Bergey's Breadbasket enough, especially after enjoying the Barnyard next door. It's a great spot to relax with family or friends, indulge in some truly delicious treats, and support a fantastic local business. I'll definitely be coming back for more of their ice cream and to work my way through the rest of their menu!

BUT unless I see the business pushing their political viewpoints I never know how accurate rumors are plus I like to assess things for myself. Group of 3 came in on a rainy Memorial Day afternoon. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress who told us to sit wherever we'd like and she'd be right over. The place was not busy and our waitress was very sweet and efficient. We each ordered a different breakfast item (served all day) and I have to say everything was tasty. Pancakes cooked the way I like with crispy edges. The breakfast potatoes were crispy seasoned cubes but not at all greasy. I love that sourdough bread is an option. Overall, it's a good diner breakfast in a diner environment. We didn't get any dessert but there was a woman there as we were checking out who raved about the cake slices there and told us she comes almost every day for a slice of cake. I forgot to snap pics but the pics on here look very consistent with what we had and saw.
