    Summer season is hotdog time. The service didn't take long and everyone was friendly. I sat at the front counter, the seating was comfortable. The restaurant was crowded but service is fast. I ordered 2 hotdogs, fried pickles, shoestring fries, and drink. The food was hot and tasty. I like my hotdog plain or with sauerkraut. I would visit again for something else on the menu.

    I love their hot dogs. It's really perfect. Only thing I would change is to order sliced onions not just diced. Maybe even some peppers. But I love it. Now even though I would make that change. That's not really a FLAW to me. But what IS A FLAW is close together the bar seats are. And I definitely understand, the more seats the more money. But having to sit that close to the next person eating was annoying taste of food however...great.

    I was in the area just to grab crumble cookies but the little one was hungry. We went to Famous Uncle Al's around 4:30pm because I assumed it was a grab and go type of restaurant but man was I wrong. When I went in the restaurant the workers were super friendly and welcoming. It has a old school diner vibe. I looked lost and confused but was asked politely to take a seat. We were approached by our server. She was super nice and outgoing. I ordered the chili dogs and fries. The crazy thing is that at the time I didn't know they closed at 5pm we didn't leave till 5:30pm and wasn't rushed out or felt pressure to leave! I only found out what time they closed when I was searching for this place to leave a review.

    Delicious Boars Head Hotdog with chili and onions and fresh cut fries.

    Popped in for a quick lunch and sat at their bar. Service is quick and they are all SUPER friendly. It always has a nice buzz no matter when you go! Hotdog was delicious and snappy. Bun was super soft. Their fresh cut fries with malt vinegar, pepper and ketchup = forget about it! So good and fresh. Definitely one of the best hotdogs in the area! They are very consistent and never let you down!

    Visiting from California and stopped by this place today! We got such a warm welcome from every single person working and it smelled great as soon as we walked in too. It was super busy with regulars and you can tell they've built a community in there. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town and will recommend it to our local family!

    An impromptu lunch date took us to this little "hidden" gem. The ladies greeted us as soon as we came in, were quick to get our drink order, and were patient as we took our time looking over the menu. This place offers so many great options and use Boars Head products. I ate the best hotdog I've EVER had! The menu has a variety of foods from hot dogs to hamburgers, pull pork sandwiches, and walnut cranberry chicken salad. Don't forget to get you some funnel cake fries for dessert too!

    Yum! Impressed with…read morethis place. The chicken was very good; thick and juicy high quality chicken breasts. We easily found a nice table outside and ordered quickly - my husband chose a Chicken Slider, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and we ordered my baby girl a kid's meal of grilled cheese. I was impressed with the size of her kid's meal - it came with a decent-sized sandwich, huge portion of fries, a small kid's soda and a small custard. It was actually a pretty significant portion and my husband loved helping her finish it. Ha. I really enjoyed my husband's slider and the salads on the menu looked delish. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was good, but a bit too hot for me, I did think the chicken was delicious. Hubs and I were both impressed with the quality and will happily come back again next time we're on this side of town. Used the restroom to change my daughter and they have a diaper changing station in the bathroom (a must for me now).

I love the selection of sauces, they really make the meal! The only negative thing about this restaurant is every time my husband gets a sandwich that comes out piping hot and my chicken tenders come out barely lukewarm. So much so we've once asked for replacements, which the staff was so great and accommodating. Very chill vibe, clean tables, and they're always playing great music. We always dine in when we stop by. The custard is also great! Love the sauces, love the sandwiches!

    My visits to the Raising Cane's Chesapeake location were two different experiences. The first was…read morea solid 5. The second was rounded up to 4. The food was equally good both times. I chose the Chicken Tenders Box Combo both visits. It consists of 4 large pieces of tender juicy chicken & true Deep South Cole Slaw prepared with a light sauce, just like I grew up with. Also included were Crinkle Cut French Fries & awesome Texas Toast. I opted out of their Special Sauce, which I am told is delicious by those who like dipping Chicken Fingers. Lemonade, which is really good, was my drink choice. Perhaps the difference in the visits has to do with time of day. The first visit was mid afternoon, having had a doctor's appointment in close proximity. The personnel were friendly & welcoming. What must have been the manager told us we should come back the next week, on their First Anniversary. We decided to support the restaurant on their Anniversary, meeting friends who lived in Chesapeake. The drive from the Shore Dr corridor to Greenbrier at rush hour was much longer than anticipated. So it was in the midst of the dinner hour when we arrived. The restaurant was extremely busy. The staffing seemed similar to our mid afternoon visit, which wasn't quite adequate to handle the dinner hour level of business. It wasn't an Anniversary crowd. My Chesapeake friends indicated that the restaurant was always that busy. The food tray came so quickly that I was still talking to one of their pleasant personnel, maybe a manager. Although we were able to order quickly, very soon there was a long line snaking past our table towards the back of the store. I was shocked when we left the restaurant at the extremely long line of cars waiting to go through the drive thru. The parking lot of the restaurant didn't come close to containing it. Told that it was always like this, I understood that the staff must be struggling to handle that many customers at one time. One big complaint on my second visit is that one of their 2 unisex, spacious bathrooms was completely out of toilet paper & paper towels. The soap dispenser had the front taken off, obviously by a patron trying to find soap. The inside replaceable plastic bag of soap refills had been squeezed, obviously in an attempt to get the last of the soap remaining. I planned to tell an employee the state of that bathroom but they were so busy that I decided to just return to my table. Obviously this was a good location choice for a Raising Cane's. But I do think they should increase their staffing level during the busy dinner hours. The location was filled with framed Chesapeake History. It was fun to walk around and see the articles & pictures. One was even a page from the 1955 Oscar Smith High School Yearbook. I'll return to this location both for takeout after a doctor appointment or to meet my Chesapeake friends. But I'll definitely leave earlier or take a different route. And I look forward to the opening of their planned Lynnhaven location.

I normally don't go for these types of places as I usually don't get filled up enough due to stingy portion sizes. That is not the case with CAVA, I ordered online since there was one 4 minutes away from my hotel and I didn't need to get stuck in going home traffic in the area. I ordered online through the Yelp link and kind of tried out the online ordering system with less than high hopes that I would get what I wanted. I was surprised that it was easy to order what I wanted and the resulting bowl was pretty heavy in portion size. It is also full of flavor as well. I go for the half chicken/roasted vegetables with half greens/grain. I really enjoy the black bean grains as it adds to the texture of the meal. The chicken is good and the dips and sauces are all really tasty. The store itself is so so. It looks like any make your own pizza, salad, bowl place with a slow down with customers choosing their ingredients. The floor was a little sticky as I think someone may have dropped a drink as there was a drink bar near the take out order areas. I usually order at my hotel and it's ready within a few minutes of my arrival so about ten minutes from online order to in my hands. I have been here twice and both times, there were a lot of customers so I believe they are very popular. This meal really fills me up and I feel good after eating my meals here.
