"I stopped by there on the way back to Norfolk last night. Even though it was close to closing time, they took my order. When I tell you the food was delicious, it's an understatement! The customer service was awesome, the CRAB SOUP was amazing and the green beans were perfect!! I'd give them ten stars if I could!!"

"Most of the food was great. Some needed more seasoning. The calamari was fabulous, the breading had a great flavor and it was fried perfectly. Don't skip dessert the coconut and carrots cakes were moist and so good. The white staff was very kind, very helpful."

"This is one my favorite places to stop while traveling on US 13. I had the occasion to stop there for Easter dinner this past Sunday. The food and service is always good. I had the cream of crab soup, prime rib with mashed potatoes/gravy and turnip greens. I had only one small criticism, the prime rib was a little more done than I usually like it. But it was late in the day and I realize it is difficult to keep prime rib warm and rare at the same time. It was however very tender. Steve who attended to me went out of his way to find horseradish for me, which made the experience all the better. I finished the meal with a slice of red velvet cake. DELICIOUS! I also took a slice of Smith Island Cake home with me. Thanks once again for providing excellent food and service. I look forward to my return."

"I ate here with several of my coworkers during a Christmas Party celebrating a good year of work, and of course, the upcoming holiday. Writing this review just to praise the staff for doing such an excellent job in catering the event, practically going above and beyond. Including the staff member who had admitted he was new at the time. He did fine. Highly recommend, this restaurant always does good."

"Wonderful Country Cooking. Expansive Menu. My thought, can’t be good at it all….Crab Soup amazing. Prime Rib Souvlaki was delicious. Greek Salad no cucumber or Olives…disappointing. Taziki Sauce is delicious. GREAT prices. Daily Specials and Lunch Menu has Specials. Definately worth the stop. Even have an Old Fashioned Counter to sit and eat. Excellent Sweet Tea. Although we did not get Dessert, their Pies look amazing!"
