It was a huge club loaded with ham, turkey, roast beef, American & provolone cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise served with French Fries. My daughter and I decided on one of their specials of the day - Stuffed Green Peppers with mashed potatoes. We decided on a green salad as our side with blue cheese dressing. We had two stuffed peppers and two portions of mashed potatoes. The salad was very fresh and crisp. Neither one of us could eat all that we were served, so we took it home. The portions were so generous. We were all very satisfied with the service and food. Everything was hot and delicious.

This visit was good, we were not that hungry so we ordered kinda light fare. The shrimp bisque sounded perfect and wè went with that. There was plenty of shrimp and it looked and tasted like crab meat in the bowls. It was well seasoned and a light sprinkle of Old Baÿ on top. We had coffee, fresh and hot. Sometimes that that is just what is needed on a damp day. Service was perfect, just right and our serpeally on top of things. There was ambiance there that reflected. So far, everything we have had there, and no doubt we will bve back.

This place was a one-and-done experience for us. Never again!!…read more My husband and I ended up here after the Dave Chappelle show because our original dinner plans fell through when the restaurant was fully booked. We should have made reservations, but at that point, all we wanted was a decent meal (nothing fancy) after a long workweek and then to head home. Unfortunately, a decent meal didn't happen. The food was some of the worst we've had in a long time. My husband actually spit food into his napkin, shook his head, and said, "I'm done." I've never seen him do that before. Several dishes were simply inedible. The mashed potatoes were bland and flavorless--how do you mess up mashed potatoes? The potato salad was equally bland and disappointing. The French onion soup had very little broth and was overloaded with a thick layer of hardened cheese. Overall, the food tasted cheap and poorly prepared, yet the prices suggested otherwise. It felt like diner-quality food being sold at premium prices. What made the experience even more frustrating was the manager's response. He came to our table after hearing about our concerns, but instead of focusing on the quality issues we raised, he seemed more concerned that my husband refused to order a replacement meal. That spoke volumes about where the priorities were. The one bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. No complaints regarding the server as he was extremely apologetic with our experience. To our surprise, the restaurant also added an automatic gratuity to our bill. Ironically, had that not been done, we likely would have tipped our server more because he was not the problem. The kitchen and management were. No, I didn't complain about the tip after I noticed it on our bill. We were over the experience and just wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. We certainly wish we had. Gordon Ramsay, if you're looking for a future Kitchen Nightmares episode, this place could desperately use the help. P.S. A business name change is not going to help with the quality of the food. Do better and prove that you actually care about your customers, not just the $$.

This place still has the same atmosphere and the people are still as friendly and genuine as always. Even the owner will come and chat with you. I plan on making more visits and not just when I go to the VA. Thanks for keeping it real and freildly Bob

Servers were short staffed this day yet they were working the restaurant like pros. Vanilla milkshake didn't feel full but the vintage glass was cute. My BLT was solid they go heavy on the tomatoes though they had like 3 slices and fries were fresh and crispy the old school ketchup bottle really took me back. The chicken and waffles were loaded they surly don't skimp on the protein and fluffy Belgian waffle. Nice strips of bacon you really can't go wrong here. Our server (insert name tbd) bobbed and weaved with impeccable service. The vintage juke box, attractions for the kids and just that homely vibe has the locals coming back for more. I'll for sure come back and try Ed's famous chili when I get the chance

Stopped by on a rainy Tuesday for a dinner before my meeting. Walked in, and was greeted as if I…read morewas an old friend, even though I'd never been here before. After choosing a seat, I picked up the menu to decide. The waitress was there asking for my drink order already!!! I took a minute, and ordered the French Dip sandwich with fries. The food came out with scarcely a wait, and was cooked just right. And it was the best sandwich I've had all week!!! Seasoned perfectly, and served with a cup of steaming Au Jus. The fries were crispy on the outside, just how I like them. The wood paneling and Formica tabletops harken to a simpler time, as does the menu. While well worn, everything is obviously clean and well cared for by an owner and management team that really cares. The prices are reasonable, considering the amount of food you get. The staff is friendly and funny, with some folks trading jokes with the local regulars. The Essex feels like the diners of old, and I wish there were more like these still around. I can't wait to see how breakfast is after this great dinner!
