The crab cakes, oysters, shrimp, fries, sides and even the hush puppies are delicious! The portions are plenty. Oh, they also have the bomb chilly on occasion!

The steamed shrimp had a nice amount of OldBay without going overboard, and the fried flounder was cooked just right, light and flaky and moist inside, crispy outside. I got coleslaw and green beans as sides, and both were excellent. Honestly, the whole meal was delicious, far exceeding my expectations. The lady behind the counter was kind and courteous and made sure I had plenty of sauces and utensils as well.

Overall, we had a nice experience at To Do Cafe & Seafood. We stopped by this restaurant while…read moredriving to Va Beach because I think it was one of the few places that was: 1. no too far off route, 2. allowed dogs and 3. was open. The restaurant has a pretty low/relaxed vibe. So low/relaxed that I thought the two people at a dining table who let me know that the porch was open for service were customers. Oh! The paper place settings have little tidbits on Virginian trivia and history. For our dining enjoyment, we went with a couple of orders of burgers. I thought my burger was pretty tasty, especially with the restaurant's special BBQ sauce. Also, I thought the portion sizes were pretty generous for the price. The only very minor issue (as of March 2026) was that the restaurant did not have its liquor license, so we could not order a round of beers go accompany our burgers. Other than that small detail, we had no problem with the restaurant. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that service was pretty good, and the prices were pretty reasonable.

This café has quickly become one of my absolute favorite places. It's the perfect halfway point…read morebetween where I live and where my sister lives, making it our go-to spot to meet in the middle. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place meant for slowing down. You can sit, relax, and never feel rushed. Every single person who works here is wonderful, and the owner is an absolute hoot. She's a ball of personality in the best way possible, and it genuinely adds to the charm and warmth of the place. You can feel the care that goes into everything they do, especially the food. So much is made from scratch from the biscuits to the sweet treats and it truly shows in the quality. The layout of the café is also really well thought out. When you first walk in, there's a seating area up front, and then another space in the back that feels like the main gathering area. As the weather warms up, the front area opens up and gives you that airy, open feeling and honestly, there's nothing quite like enjoying seafood by the water. Families are clearly welcomed here, which I really appreciate. The front area has a few toys for kids, like oversized Connect Four, and the bathroom is spotless. It even has a changing table, and right outside the bathroom there are coloring books and crayons neatly set up such a thoughtful touch. I also have to give major credit for the seasonal décor. When they decorate, they truly go all out, and it makes each visit feel special and festive. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable, and the food is consistently excellent. I've loved everything I've tried from something as simple as a peanut butter and jelly to the seafood platter. This place has heart, personality, and amazing food. I can't recommend it enough.

We happened to be in Tappahannock, VA on a Monday evening celebrating our nephew's birthday and, by…read morechance, ended up at 528 Italian American Restaurant, and we're so glad we did. We had a party of 10, and they were incredibly quick to accommodate us. From the start, the service stood out. Our server worked hard throughout the evening to ensure everything was smooth and that we had an excellent dining experience. The food was fantastic. A few of us ordered the 40 oz. Tomahawk steak with shrimp and two sides, and it was easily one of the best steaks I've had. While $120 is definitely an investment, it was well worth it, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sauce on the side complemented it nicely, the sides were delicious, and the presentation really elevated the entire dish. It's also large enough to easily feed two people. Others at the table enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the surf and turf special (ribeye and shrimp for $40), a fish sandwich, and a ribeye steak and cheese. Everything that came out looked and tasted great. They also brought out complimentary bread with a homemade dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. You can tell they take pride in their food--we got the sense that much of it is made in-house. We also tried a few desserts, and they did not disappoint. The carrot cake, in particular, was one of the best I've had. Inside the restaurant was large and looked like they could host banquet and parties. We even had the opportunity to meet and talk with the owner, Tony, and were impressed by his background and passion for what he does. Overall, we had a great experience, and most importantly, our nephew had a wonderful birthday celebration. We will definitely be stopping back in the next time we're in the area.

Hailey, our waitress was wonderful and very accommodating with our dog and brought her a water bowl too. The inside was very nice, but with the dog, it was the patio for us. Will definitely return when in the area again. Wishing much success to this wonderful business.

I ended up getting their Chile Verde which is pork chunks topped with salsa Verde. At other restaurants, the pork is often tough or can be inconsistent in tenderness. But not here the pork was juicy and tender through and through. The rice and beans served with it were great compliments. I had a pina colada daquiri and joked about how large of a size the regular was! It was huge and I was so curious about the large size. Pro-tip, you will probably want the large size it was just that good! Our server was kind and the food came out quite quickly! They have a large parking lot and an ample sized seating area inside. It does have a separate entrance and exit though which I haven't experienced at a restaurant before so just keep that in mind once you are ready to leave. Overall, this is a great Mexican restaurant in Tappahanock. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu but I'd definitely reccomend their pork dishes. Whether you sit at the bar, their high tops or a booth the food doesn't disappoint.

There is ample parking available, and despite being located right off the golf course, the restaurant is pretty easy to access. Walking in, you're able to seat yourself with a variety of options (low top, high top, and bar seating available). Our server was prompt and kind, the menu was quite expansive, and there were multiple options to please anyone in a large group. I ended up getting the corn beef hash platter, which came on a sizzling pan topped with a heaping portion of fried potatoes and corn beef and topped with eggs cooked to your preference. It also comes with a side of bread, I decided on a biscuit which was fantastic, buttery and fluffy. My breakfast partner ended up ordering off the lunch menu, getting a tuna sandwich, which also came with a heaping portion of tuna salad between two slices of buttered bread. They shared that it was a decent sandwich but not as good as other places. Overall, Prince Street Café is a great brunch/lunch spot, with the advent of spring this would be a lovely place to enjoy some sun and good eats!

My daughter decided on the seafood omelet and cinnamon French toast. Everything was delicious. No complaints from me. They also have an all you can eat buffet if you like. It was a great ending to our reunion. I would recommend Prince Street Cafe at Hobbs Hole and would definitely go back!
