    Corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, grits, and biscuit. Strong coffee. Yum Great breakfast.
    Jaxs F.

    I had the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs. I like eggs well-cooked not runny. They were cooked exactly how I like them. Thank you! The biscuit was fluffy and tasted homemade. Yum. Grits were light and smooth. Delicious. Thank you Nicole for wonderful service and strong coffee.

    Tasty, classic American breakfast delights. They were doing a brisk business when we arrived on a weekday morning, but we were still seated right away. I ordered the sausage gravy, which comes with two eggs and a side (I chose home fries). We also ordered steak and eggs, pancakes, and fried catfish. The sausage gravy checked all of the boxes. It was supported by a biscuit (that unfortunately was a bit soggy) and some tasty over easy eggs. All of the other dishes looked quite good as well. If I returned, I think I would try the catfish, since that looked cool and unique. But, if I was feeling peckish, I'd probably go for the steak and eggs, since it comes with a lot of sides! When in Williamsburg, follow the crowd (and your nose!) to Smokey Griddle Pancake House.

    If you prefer a quiet breakfast, then go to The Smokey Griddle Pancake House. This restaurant was full of regulars who were commenting on the local goings-on in the area. The food, coffee, and sweet tea were all good. I appreciated that the tables had creamer on them and not just half-and-half. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. No one was rushing us out. It was very much an 'order your food and be left alone' kind of place, which we do prefer. If I drank my coffee faster, then I would have needed to flag someone down for a refill, but the one check in was timed nicely with my finishing my first cup. We got: The Smokey Combo (eggs, pancakes, and bacon) and the French Toast Melt special (bacon, egg and cheese sandwich with French toast as the bread). We also got coffee and sweet tea.

    The food was so good! They were very fast! The place was nice, quiet, and a great place for breakfast! I would 100% recommend!

    Breakfast quesadillas will bacon and grits plus salsa in the side.

    Quick seating and service. Friendly, welcoming staff. Lots of great menu options. Eggs cooked exactly to order. Highly recommended!

    Ketchup has high fructose corn syrup, etc.

    They don't offer real maple syrup! Food was not very good. They increased their prices by $2 per plate/entree. Their website isn't updated/correct. The place was pretty empty on a Thursday at 11am BUT the food took extremely long, about 25 minutes!! Server, Herson, was a pretty good server and it wasn't his fault our food took forever. We ordered the banana pancakes and 2 eggs which came to $16, very pricey and also ordered a fried catfish plate $12, which wasn't very good at all and pretty tasteless. The batter was too thick and kind of hard actually. This was our first AND LAST time here.

    We brought along two toddlers so it could've gone either way from the start. Our waiter was fast, courteous and checked back with us several times. It didn't look like too much from the outside, but the inside was clean and spacious. I selected the Greek Omelette ~ made perfectly and the potatoes were fantastic, cooked perfectly. My daughter selected the eggs Benedict and enjoyed every bite. My two granddaughters shared the silver dollar pancakes & a side of bacon. Those picky little eaters enjoyed every last bite, no syrup needed. Thank you for an enjoyable family breakfast.

    Visiting from out of town and we were searching for a good breakfast spot. The Smokey Griddle Pancake House stood out amongst all the other breakfast places in the area. So glad we chose this place. Reasonably priced food that turned out to be good. Loved the Mexican twists on some of the items. We will be back if in the area again.

    Breakfast Chimichange-so good!

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.

Disappointing plus not much in the way of tater tots. They didnt have the doggie menu I saw online which is why I came here but they did make up a beef patty with rice. My dogs ate the beef and played with the rice. And tap water was served which wouldn't have been so bad bit again it was served at room temp which made it taste odd.

So much to love about this new discovery besides the fact that it's NOT a Starbucks lol and for those that know me, you know I love and love to support and discover tucked away indie coffee places (see my reviews!). This place is also a roastery and sells their own bean blends. I don't know the history behind the shop and name but was told it is chemistry themed and owned by W&M alum - yassssss! Service is SUPER friendly and excellent so that's a bonus! I lovvvvvvve that the latte menu is chock full of super creative seasonal flavors - so many to choose from!! I stopped by twice while in town and staying just down the street. Had a hot Rose Macaron latte and the next day had the Lemon Bar. Both were DELICIOUS. NOT OVERLY SWEET BUT WITH SUBTLE FLAVORS AND BOLD ESPRESSO TASTE. NOTTTTTT WIMPY WEAK. Both days I had the OG Bacon Egg Cheese sando on an ET bagel that was a decent accompaniment to my seasonal lattes which were clearly the stars of the show. I was there during the week - once mid afternoon, the other day late morning and it was not crowded at all both days. The seating area is HUGE. 2 separate adjacent rooms - walk through the front ordering area and you'll find a large, super cozy and inviting "living room" type space with comfy couches, armchairs, dining tables with chairs and even cubes for studying. Dark and moody vibes. SUPER COZY, RELAXING AND KEPT VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. The other seating area has a bunch of tables and chairs, lots of windows, brighter and more conducive for gathering. I took and posted a bunch of pics and some vids so check them out. So glad to have discovered this coffee spot and gem! Will definitely be back when I visit Williamsburg again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
