    Stumbled on this digs on the other side of Chesapeake
    Anthony M.

    We figured we'd have a light meal while we wait for our grandson and this little cozy eatery was literally in front of us so we paroozed the menu online and they claimed to have apple and sweet potatoe jacks but when we asked the only dessert they had was chocolate chip cookies? That in my book says your food better be all that because the idea of Jack's warm and tasty were the draw! Anyhoo let's give them a shot wifey ordered a catfish dinner Ma Dear ordered the shrimp Dinner and I requested the cheeseburger and fries. Thier claim to fame was the cook everything to order so let's get it on, well it all came out hot the mac and cheese was cheesy the fries were golden brown the catfish was good but small so the compensated for the size by adding a few shrimp great customer service Now the food is Legit this place deserves and will get a return visit Stop by and enjoy this little Hidden Gem

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich & Fries
    Nia D.

    My first time visiting this establishment & it did not disappoint. It's a family owned business ran by integral people. The service is fair & polite, food always came hot & ready. This was by far the best grilled chicken sandwich I've had. It was cooked all the way through, juicy & well seasoned, so were the fries. If you're looking for some fresh soul food made with love, I highly recommend this place!

    Fried fish dinner with two sides
    Cinthya M.

    Soul food in Hickory! Easy to miss, but worth checking it out. Food is hot, seasoned well, and cooked to order- some waiting will be needed. The young man at the counter is very polite and answers all your questions since they have specials not on the menu. There are tables there, but it feels more like a take out restaurant. I've been a couple of times and all the traffic has been to-go! Check them out! Wont be disappointed! Only reason didn't give it a 5 is because sides have been hit or miss for me- LOVE their candied yams and Mac and cheese. Wasn't too fond of the rice and gravy and green beans were ok for my taste.

    I have literally known about them for 2+ years and every time the food has definitely hit the spot. You MUST try the Thirst - Mango Lemonade & Now&Later Juice. Honestly, all of the thirst drinks are bomb as they are made fresh by one of the owners! Also, the Mama Wings & Yams! Wheww I can honestly say my overall experience was a 9.5/10. I would love for you all to try them and let me know how your experience was! ( IG: @KeeLashayTV) . * .: 1457 Mount Pleasant Rd Chesapeake, VA 23322

    Heard about this spot... so we had to try it out. Everything was good. I would eat here again. The green beans had an awesome flavor. I haven't tried the Jacks yet but they look good. Mac and cheese could have been better... it was just ok.

The night before I received a confirmation text. I appreciate the old school communication. The parking lot is small. I am disabled and had to park in the lot across the street because there was absolutely no parking available. (The missing 5th star) When we arrived we were immediately seated. The restaurant is quaint. The staff is friendly and welcoming. From the guest in our party: The Fried Flounder was DELICIOUS!! On and off the sandwich. Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The Yardbird sandwich was pretty good as well. The jambalaya on the other hand not so much (the chicken was hard). The fries were delicious as well. After we ate we discovered the outside atmosphere which is right on the water. They had a live band which was amazing. They had jenga, cornhole, gliding dinner tables, a fire pit, an entire other bar. It was a great surprise. My cousin had the best time for her birthday celebration Thank you for being such a great experience.

My daughter really enjoyed her grilled cheese. The chicken fingers were more of the bread crumb breading compared to batter so it came off as she tried to break the chicken in half. I had the French dip. It was very good. My husband had the buffalo chicken wrap. He enjoyed it as well. We got the mozzarella sticks as appetizers and they were good. Not sure if they were worth the price but my daughter enjoyed them. I was a little disappointed because the pictures all showed beer battered fries and they came with crinkle fries. If we would have known that we wouldn't have paid for the up charge to get fries.

It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.
