    Baked ziti with garlic bread. Delicious!
    Elizabeth O.

    Another great meal at Ack's tonight! I went with my instincts to try the baked ziti tonight and boy I wasn't disappointed. It came with your choice of a house or a Caesar salad. I went with the Caesar and it was really good and flavorful. The menu said this was a generous portion and that it was. I was only able to eat half of this portion but I've got leftovers that will heat up nicely. My husband had the tuna entree with the grilled vegetables and onion rings. He said those grilled vegetables were one of the best he's gotten at a restaurant. The service was excellent again. I can't wait to go back!

    My husband and I had a lovely 11th wedding anniversary brunch here today and it was outstanding…read more From the service - our waitress, Jess was phenomenal: super friendly and kind and patient with all of our questions, as it was our first time here; the food: OMG, the food - I swear I'm gonna have dreams about my "hangover plate" tonight - the biscuit was so soft and fluffy, topped with a delicious gravy, scrambled eggs and cheese; and cheese grits, YUM; the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and felt very homey and comfy. My only complaints which are very minimal -- #1: there was fresh squeezed OJ listed on the menu but is no longer served and I'm a sucker for fresh squeezed so it immediately grabbed my attention; and #2: I wish I'd known I could do half grits and potatoes - I should've asked, but I overheard a local/regular customer ask for that after I'd already gotten my plate of food in front of me. But 100% satisfied with the grits, so no complaints with what I ordered and ate, just would've liked to try the potatoes, too!

    Outstanding From Start to Finish 185 Restaurant absolutely…read moredeserves its 2026 Coastal Virginia Magazine Gold Awards for Best Breakfast, Best Brunch, and Best Comfort Food. I ordered the Hangover Plate, and it was exceptional. The homemade sausage gravy over a fresh biscuit, topped with eggs, cheese, and bacon, was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. The seasoned home fries were perfectly cooked and complemented the meal well. We also tried the 185 Cheeseburger, and it was equally impressive. The burger was juicy, cooked exactly right, served on a fresh brioche bun, and topped with fresh ingredients and a delicious smoky mayo. The service was friendly and attentive, the food arrived hot, and the portions were generous. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. It's easy to see why this restaurant continues to win local awards. If you're anywhere near Yorktown or Newport News, 185 Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

    I was driving around near my hotel and heard a live band playing familiar soul music. I decided to…read morepark and find out more about the place. I stumbled upon this restaurant with a lounge next to it. I dropped in for a drink so that I could listen to the awesome band. (I believe they're called the Fellas). Nonetheless, music was good and the vibes were "grown and chill". The drinks were a bit juice heavy, I barely tasted the alcohol but the service was good. I didn't order food but the people sitting next to said that they enjoyed their dinner.

    Found this place while visiting our son and glad we have a new spot to go to when we come back…read more Parking was pretty easy early Saturday evening. Not sure how to describe the vibe- clean modern feel with a touch of cozy here and there - like the sofa when u first walk in. Pros: Cool sofa for waiting on a table or maybe cocktails? Krista was our server and she was delightful. Friendly and helpful - let us know her favorites and got our order in quickly since we couldn't take too long. Nice cocktail selection and even better range for apps and mains. Loved the ahi tuna flatbread!! Our favorite of the apps. Could have ordered for dinner and left very happy since it cost less too lol. Seared scallops were delicious- the sauce and fresh corn were amazing. Shrimp and grits had an impressive depth of flavor and the spinach and tomatoes were a unique addition. The black bass was also very good. Cons Prices on the higher side even for a fancy restaurant in Richmond. Didn't love the complimentary bread and butter: I appreciated trying to make the butter something unique- going for savory and sweet the white chocolate and herbs but the white chocolate didn't really work for us as an ingredient. Felt like the bread should've been crusty for butter like this and not the soft rolls they served. Didn't care for the pork belly appetizer. Instead of being crispy, it was just tough.

The tacos had that…read moreslow-smoked flavor you can't fake -- the chicken was tender with a slightly charred edge, tucked into warm tortillas and topped with just enough sauce to bring everything together without making it messy. Each bite had a nice mix of smoky and tangy. The buffalo wings came out hot with a crisp outer layer that held onto the sauce really well. The heat level was just right -- enough to notice, but still easy to enjoy without reaching for water every second. You could tell they were made fresh, not sitting around. What stood out was the consistency between both items. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together. The setup itself is simple, but the focus is clearly on getting the food right. Alpha Pit Smokers delivers bold, satisfying barbecue with a straightforward approach that works. It's the kind of place you'd return to when you're craving something with real flavor behind it.

I kinda understand why, but then again, if you're gonna have a business like this) I kinda don't. Ribs and jalapeños smoked sausage were not available. I was told that for ribs, you should contact them 24 hours in advance. This was a deal-breaker almost, 'cause we really wanted to do the ribs, and there was no indication that some items might not be available. The food and appetizers came out at the same time, so our table was loaded, and we could not eat fast enough before it got cold. I shared my displeasure with my server, but she just gave me the "deer in the headlights." look. The drinks were weak and expensive. There are a few arcade games and plenty of space. Service is ok, but not great. The food was ok; some items were dry. The fries were hot, and nothing special about the service. Cool place to hang out, watch games, and drink beer, but it's just ok.
