    coffee mug, with coffee

    Came in at 7am for hot breakfast, was not disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Definitely a spot locals know best, but I felt like I belonged there just as well. This was a while back now so I can't remember all the details, but I was pretty happy with the experience so I wanted to leave a good review for the place. Will certainly go back if I find myself in Gloucester again!

    Biscuits with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and home fries.  So yummy
    Carolyn V.

    I ordered the sausage and gravy combo with home fries. I liked that they asked if you wanted onions and peppers with the home fries, I said no. The sausage gravy was yummy, flavorful and a bit peppery which is how I like my sausage gravy. Biscuits were light and fluffy. All the staff were nice and attentive. I recommend stopping here for breakfast or lunch. I don't think they're open for dinner.

    I am always looking for great breakfast spots! This was such a good find. My spouse and I decided to go catch the sunrise and go for a nice walk in Yorktown, after which we decided to look for nearby places to go have breakfast. Jackpot! we loved this place. Great customer service, very nice people, and the food was awesome.. they were very attentive and the coffee nor the water ever ran out. They were on it. We can't wait to come back!

    Eggheads Caramel Apple Waffle w/scrapple

    Wish I could give this place 10 stars. Never had a bad meal and always look forward to seeing " our Eggheads Girls!" They have the best perfectly cooked scrapple. My husband adores their catfish. Take a look at my breakfast this morning! Caramel Apple with a side of crispy, creamy in the middle scrapple!

    1/2 lb cheeseburger with fries.

    Nice ma and pop dinner with very friendly and efficient staff. I have been craving a good cheeseburger for sometime now and this burger hit the spot. You can see by the posted photos that most customers get, or at least post, breakfast items which is available anytime, in fact the whole menu is available during open hours (breakfast and lunch only).

    We made a U turn when we saw all of the cars in the parking lot! You should as well! Outstanding customer service and good food!

    The food is absolutely to die for! I love the burger and Ruben!! Service was fantastic and staff very caring. Very clean and fast service. Very accommodating to customers and any allergies you may have.

    Cheese Omelet Egghead Bowl
    Paula H.

    I got the Egghead bowl. It's your choice of omelet ingredients served over home fries with gravy over the top. It is served with your choice of toast or biscuit. The bowl was delicious. The biscuit was light and fluffy. We had great service as well. The restaurant is clean inside.

    Eggheads is a staple local breakfast diner. The service is always top notch, they are very attentive, and flexible to large parties, and bring food out fast even when it is busy! They always take good care of us here. The ambiance is low key country diner and a strong local crowd. The food is always delicious and the prices are reasonable. The specials are a highlight of the menu.

    Excellent service, cute theme and disposition, excellent breakfast food. Highly recommend.

    I was excited when we pulled up to the restaurant. I had great expectations for the seafood. We…read morewere seated in one of the rooms with large parties and the noise was overwhelming. My autistic teen actually left to sit outside for some peace and quiet We ordered a variety of items for appetizers and dinner. The crabmeat with pita pieces was delicious as was the seafood French fries. My son enjoyed his She Crab soup. For a main course I ordered the Rachel Sandwich. The fish, cheese and Cole slaw were tasteless, and the bread was hard. Nothing enjoyable at all other than my side of Brussels sprouts. Everyone had the same feelings about the food. Passable but not worth coming back again for.

    YROC is such a great find in Gloucester. The marina setting is beautiful, with gorgeous water…read moreviews, and the restaurant itself is large with plenty of seating both inside and out. We sat outside, which was perfect. We started with the tuna bites, and they were excellent. I usually don't like anything blackened, so I wasn't expecting these to be my favorite, but they were amazing. The tuna was perfectly cooked, and the peppery blackened seasoning was just right without overpowering it. We also had a dozen raw oysters. Salty, fresh and wonderful -- exactly what you want this time of year. It's oyster season! Then came the crab fries. So good. A huge pile of fries loaded with crab and cheese. Really, how can you go wrong with that combination? And they definitely didn't skimp on the crab. For my meal, I had the Cobb salad with crab and oysters. It was HUGE. I easily could have shared it with my husband, especially after all of our appetizers. YROC is worth a visit for the setting alone, but the food was surprisingly good and ended up being the real highlight. Beautiful marina, great outdoor seating, fresh seafood and generous portions. We'll definitely be back.

    Haven't been since the patio opened up. Unfortunately the patio was not serving mixed drinks and…read moreother libations..etc.. so no worries, we went inside the pub. Hostess was awesome, seated us in 5 minutes. Thank You Started with bloody mary's and potato skins. Both choices were excellent and goodness the potato skins were humongous..and tasty. I added the clam chowder and it was amazeballs. The wife and I shared the fried shrimp, french fries and Cole slaw . Huge portions and the shrimp were the bomb diggity! Service was very good, thank you Nicole...the place was packed on a Labor Day (Monday).

    Yorktown Pub was a solid stop and I had an overall good experience…read more I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were a special. They tasted great, the shrimp were cooked and seasoned very well. The biggest issue was the portion size. The special only came with two tacos, which only contained 6 shrimp in total, which felt a little light for a meal. I was also surprised by the bar. I asked for a mojito and was told that they couldn't make drinks that are not on their menu. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing because from the looks of it, they had a full-service bar, which I wouldn't think a mojito would be an issue to make. And no, I wasn't asking for a mojito during a busy time when the bartender was slammed. Overall, the food tasted very good and the waterfront location was hard to beat. It was only two small things that kept this from being a 5 star experience, but I absolutely would come back as I enjoyed myself.

    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!

    OMG! The food is…read moresuper good. Honestly, this is the BEST breakfast I have ever had... No lie. The food is cooked fresh, great portions, absolutely delicious. No, this is not your health food eatery. This is down home old fashioned good tasty delicious scrumptious no joke mama grandma cooking fill you up and give you the best knock out, sleepy nap food coma food! No hesitation here, come visit you won't regret it. Get the scrambles, the pancake is amazing. Complete with buttery crunchy edges, wow. Potatoes are perfectly seasoned. Don't check your blood sugar afterwards. Just enjoy it! I'm giving 185 five stars again, proudly! Thank you for keeping it fresh.
