185 in Poquoson is the Real Deal -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more It is always unplanned trips that allow me to explore a bit and glad I did. I was sitting in the parking lot of a large chain breakfast pulled up Yelp to see what I might be missing. Glad wasn't lazy...15 mins later I was in the parking lot for 185! If you haven't been to 185 on Little Florida Road in Poquoson, you are seriously missing out. This charming, family-owned neighborhood gem is everything a great local restaurant should be and then some. The moment I walked through the door, I felt it. You're not just a customer here; you're a guest. The welcome was immediate and genuine and set the tone for the whole experience before I even sat down. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries, and wow, it delivered. I was surprised the blackberry chipotle sauce worked BERY WELL! The brisket was tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Paired with perfectly seasoned sweet potato fries, it was the kind of meal that sticks with you long after you leave. This isn't reheated, thrown-together food, you can taste the love and craft in every bite. It was like Woman Power this morning with all ladies from front to back. Their whole vibe was awesome from the front of the house to the back. I have to give a very special shoutout to my waitress, Tiffany... she was absolutely AWESOME. Attentive, personable, and full of good energy, she made the whole experience even better. The kind of server who makes you feel like you're dining with a friend. Looks like 185 was ranked #87 on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in 2023, and after my visit, I completely understand why. The owners obviously had a beautiful vision and it is being executed incredibly...to my benefit today! Five stars, without question. When I am back in the area....I'll be back, and I'm bringing my wife will tell everyone I know.

It was clearly a local favourite and there was quickly a lineup with people willing and expecting to wait. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good home cooked meals and came out quickly. I had brisket scramble and it was delicious. It needed the sweet compote to balance the richness. My wife had the biscuits with gravy and eggs were good. There was lots of sausage in the country gravy. The cheese grits were tasty. Overall the food was very good and a solid experience. Since I live with a chef who cooks this quality of food often, I probably wouldn't drive here, however if we were in the area I'd definitely stop here and try other items as well.

They have a more expansive breakfast menu on Sunday that they are planning to expand to Saturday. Overall, the food is very good across the various menus from morning to evening. My table had a variety of food. The burger, burger patty and brisket was very good. Their sauerkraut was wet and very good. 1631 has an eclectic selection of whiskey as well. They have a variety of normal brands, but also have the oddity of Weller style CYPB, of course, for the right price. I recommend 1631 for the expensive. If you like it, you'll be back.

When it is cold, do not sit near the door because there is a strong, cold draft that is constantly blowing. Mak made me a delicious mocktail. She was also an excellent server. I had the crab dip and the shrimp and grits. The dip did not have enough crab meat and the mayonnaise was overbearing. The shrimp and grits were okay, it was a little too soupy and greasy. The restaurant is small and quaint, but it adds a nice touch to that area.

I really enjoyed my drink. It was sweet but not too sweet. And the coffee was nice and not bitter. My fiancé got the tres leches and that was also very good. It was sweet and creamy. The coffee cake we got was just ok. It was kind of bland with hints of cinnamon. And it was a little dense. It was the only pastry that was there. I'm not sure if it was because we got there around 12, or if they just don't have other pastries regularly. It was also a lot more expensive than other coffee shops in the area. If we are back in the area we will definitely come back for the coffee and vibes. The inside is beautiful and a really chill place. It was clean inside and the couches were comfy. I also liked that the baristas knew the locals that came in. That welcoming feeling makes all the difference.

Great place! Great vibe!…read more We came right after what should have been the morning breakfast rush but while it was still moderately busy... everything was clean and tidy. Our server ( whose name on the ticket was Cheyenne, Go Cowboys! ) was cheerful and attentive. She made fresh coffee for Wife Unit with a casual charm that barely hid her hustle. Young lady was on top of things! Wife Unit had the Big Chuck breakfast and I got the Greek Breakfast bowl and a half order of biscuits and gravy. Wife Unit said hers was "Yummy!", I said mine was something just as positive but more masculine. The Greek Bowl had a lot of unusual textures and flavors for a breakfast meal but it was great. We will definitely come back to scratch that breakfast/brunch itch.... Maybe even try the lunch menu.

We were seated right away luckily due to another big party not showing up for their reservation. So with Mother's day, you would have thought they planned better. Going on Mother's day, I was mentally prepared for delays but not like this. Also, the food took over an hour. Smaller parties that were sat after us received their food faster than ours and our food didn't come out hot. The food itself was OK, not very seasoned and bland. I took half my meal to go so I could hook it up myself for breakfast tomorrow. Bright side: our waitress Crystal was very sweet and had great recommendations for our meals. I enjoyed her service. They had a limited menu but allowed us to add veggies to the eggs which was nice. I'd be willing to go back on a less busier day to see how the food and speed of cooking really are.

This is my second visit in about a year, but my first Yelp review for Laura's Rise and Shine…read more What I will say is our first and today's visit were solid 4 1/2 stars visits but I'll round up to 5. Our meals today were really good. Mine was the Skillet. Which was very filling and really good. The wifey had the omelette, which she tells me she liked. The best way to describe the meals is as close to home as you can get. Again the Skillet was a large amount of food. Be hungry if you order it. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times during our stay. This a cute place in a strip mall. So I again this was our second time here. Sadly I can't remember what we ate a year ago but it was good enough for us to remember it and come on back in. So an absolutely recommend this place for your breakfast meal. I assuming other meals are just as good. So go on in and if you have something different- share with us. Oh don't forget this is a CASH ONLY place.

The other quiche was broccoli and cheddar. When brought to the manager's attention, he said sometimes they run out and instead serve a "backup" quiche. Seems very odd the kitchen wouldn't have alerted the waitress so she could ask us if that was ok to substitute. Manager offered to replace with something else but I didn't want to wait another 20+\- minutes for my food while everyone else ate. Also, don't order the crab and corn chowder. I didn't see any crab. It tasted decent but should've been called potato and corn chowder. We won't go back.
