The food and service is amazing. This is one of the fee place I trust to eat out. ALYSSA our waitress was so very friendly and kept us happy with coffee refills.

blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon

I have eaten here previously some time ago, but every time I am in the area the line is outside to get in with at least a 20 minute wait, often longer. I remembered they have scotch eggs, and while these were small, they were tasty and nicely prepared. My blueberry pancakes were full of plump blueberries. The two with me raved about their choices. The portions were huge. Service was friendly and responsive. The space is small but makes good use of the space with tables, with a small outdoor seating area but it is easy to see why it fills up so quickly, especially on weekends. The food is so good and the price point as expected. It is easy to see why this is such a popular eatery. If I could get in the door when I'm in the area I'd love to be regular!

Chicken & Waffle
Cinnamon V.

We went Food Craft in Newport News for breakfast and really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and welcoming. It's a nice place to sit down and enjoy a good meal. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. I had the ribeye and eggs, which were cooked perfectly for me. It's a thin ribeye so medium to medium rare is perfect to me. The chicken and waffles were good too. The waffle was light and delicious, and the chicken wings were big and crispy (just could use a little more seasoning). Overall, it's a solid chicken and waffle. The wait time is usually around 20-25 minutes, but it's worth it once your food hits the table. The food does not take long after seated which is always a plus.

Steak and Eggs
Chelsea D.

The wait was expected and absolutely worth it. Our party of six received excellent service throughout the visit. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and very family-friendly. The food was exceptional-- I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were perfectly prepared and generously portioned. The chicken was flavorful and crisp, and the biscuits were so delicious that we ordered an extra batch to take home. Highly recommend!

Pancake platter

The food was good and came out quick and hot. I had the pancake platter with turkey sausage and scrambled eggs and a mimosa. Paid $20, couldn't beat that. Service was good and the ambiance was welcoming and busy. Lemonade Mimosa was good

Food Craft has been on my list for awhile and I'm glad I finally tried it out. Met up with a friend who suggested we get there early. Came in around 830 and was seated quickly but this place filled up fast! It's a traditional diner with simple good food. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the French toast with the crispy edges!

They were not busy when I visited...

I finally had an opportunity to visit Food Craft. On the weekends a line forms on the sidewalk, and due to working during the week so I usually do not have an opportunity to stop in. And to be honest, I'm not sure what the excitement was all about. Interior is fairly basic, no frills, with one wall having signage with sayings and photos of customers. Seating was ample and the staff did seat me quickly. I had a veggie omelette, potatoes, biscuit and coffee. The food came very quickly, and while the omelette and biscuit were good and warm, the potatoes were cold. I noticed the omelette sat over some of the potatoes which warmed some of them up. I thought about saying something, but I kind of let it go...and should not have. The person who waited on me had almost no inflection, almost impersonal to somewhat mechanical in delivery which I found to be surprising. As soon as I done eating the plate got wisked off the table (I almost said "you must be short of plates..."), and while told "No rush", the check was also delivered with speed. It was not like they needed the table (see photo). To be honest I felt like I was getting the bums rush. Overall...the food was average to good albeit cold potato's, and while at a reasonable price, with the impersonal service and the perception of being pushed, doubt I would ever visit again. I hate ending 2025 with such a negative review, especially about locally owned businesses which I prefer to support. I also want you to know I have edited and reviewed my comments more than once to see if was being too harsh...I concluded I wasn't. Sorry.

3rd time was just as bad, corn beef still burned and hard as a rock.

We normally come to this restaurant every Sunday upon opening. Everything was great until New Year's Day 2026. We ordered as normal and our food came out burnt. We sent it back several times and it looked like burnt eggs were mixed with fresh eggs. A cook or someone from kitchen came out and looked at us and returned to kitchen . We ended up leaving paying for our tea some have burnet food. Took pictures for proof. Will probably never go back. Very up setting because food was always perfect before this. I wish I could give 5 stars because eggs looked pretty good. Just no meat to go with it so we left starving. Had to hit 1star to post this.

Foodcraft was on my radar to try for a while. They have a fried green tomato burger and also a fried green tomato salad so I knew I had to try one of them. I tried the salad this time. Next time I'll try the burger! Service is friendly and very quick. If you're in a hurry, you'll be fine. If you want to relax and chat, you'll be fine

Corned beef hash with homestyle fries two eggs over medium and wheat toast
Greg B.

This place is always great. They usually have a line out the door from opening until about 12. We have been here more than 6 times in the last year and maybe more and it's consistently good with great service. If I had to be not picky the only negative isn't really negative if you understand. Then they are busy with a line out the door, when it is obvious you're finished and have paid they politely ask if you're done. It makes sense because they need the table for more customers. We have only been asked once and it was very polite. Again, I highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. Great food, great service, fair prices, and good ambience.

10/10 I highly recommend. Myself, my husbae and another couple dined here a few Sunday's ago for brunch. Our guy friend only eats turkey so I had to put on my handy dandy Yelp gloves to search for a place with great reviews and had turkey options on the menu. After an extensive search, I came up with this place. We arrived close to 1pm I believe, and there was a wait to be seated. We waited about 25 minutes, but it was worth the wait!! The staff was super friendly and our food came out in like 5 minutes or less it seems. Our server, Evette, was comical and easy on the eyes. She made some suggestions of what was good and items she recommended since this was our first time visiting. I ordered the ribeye with eggs and check out the pics to see what the other diners ordered. It seems like I remember them ordering pancakes and they said they were really good. Nevertheless, we ate it all!! I had about 3 ounces of steak left that I took home and ate it the next morning, so good! My husbae was a little disappointed because they did not have his Crown Royal, so he could not have a libation with his meal, bummer! Because I sholl had a mimosa and it was tasty. Parking was plentiful as this place is located in a shopping center. This was a 40+ minute drive for us, but well worth the hike. We will definitely visit sometime in the near future to check out other menu choices. Take care, have fun and enjoy life :)

This is such a cool place tucked away in a shopping plaza in Yorktown. The food is excellent! I had the grilled salmon salad, a side of turkey sausage, and of course a blueberry pancake. Everything was delicious!! The fluffiness of the pancake was amazing. The service was decent. I also had a poinsettia (i.e., a cranberry mimosa). They have a bar area, and a good amount of tables. They can also accommodate groups. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner items - but only during breakfast and lunch hours. I can't go back to try something else.

Did they have a restaurant in Virginia Beach at one time?

Is it welcomed to relax there and do some paperwork on computer?

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very busy restaurant that often has a long wait, it isn't a sit there and work place.

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.

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!

I always have a great time at Food For Thought. Whenever we visit, it's usually with a big family…read moregroup, and this time we had eleven people. The staff is consistently gracious and accommodating, which really sets them apart from other restaurants that seem to dread large parties. Even on a busy Friday night, we were seated in under thirty minutes. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and handled multiple tables with ease. He stayed on top of our orders and refills, and he took allergies seriously, checking with the kitchen to make sure certain dishes were safe. That level of care is always appreciated. As always, the food was excellent. I usually go for the crabcakes, but this time I tried the special, a crowned salmon, and it was so tasty. They truly do seafood well here, and the portions are always hearty. Every experience here is consistently great. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the manager even stopped by our table to check in, which was a nice touch. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Williamsburg.

I was impressed with FFT overall. Liked the theme of thought provoking sayings…read more Really enjoyed the drinks my wife and I had (Old Fashioned and a Margarita). Bread bowl was fresh and tasty.
