Coney Dog was supposed to be a Sabratt so I was thinking a skin-on dog. Have been looking for a good replacement for a hot dog ever since Harvey's in Churchland closed. This wasn't it.

Mine arrived with about a quarter inch raspberry in the bottom of the cup and the rest cream. Big difference. Still, it was okay. All in all, very average. A bit expensive, I think, for what I received. I'd order from them again, maybe, but would be looking for somewhere better to try or settle for some old favorite place before I settled on them again.

They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!

And downtown Suffolk is just beautiful and quaint, it feels friendly and idyllic. *Ambience: Extremely comfortable, super approachable, but also refined with lots of wood and brick, but open and airy, and lots of light. You walk in to a cocktail and bar area, with an incredible painted sign on the brick wall behind the bar, that is a total throwback. The bar is incredibly comfortable and open and warm feeling. There are hardwood tables and beautiful booths along with a private dining area in the back. Really couldn't ask for or want for a more comfortable environment. *Service: absolutely stellar, super friendly staff, our server could not have been nicer or more genuine, or had more of an "ownership attitude" as if the restaurant meant everything to her, and so did us being there. She knew everything on the menu, had great recommendations, and insured we were consistently taken care of. She truly missed nothing. Harper, the owner, came over to check on us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. He couldn't have been nicer or kinder or more humble. Service was outstanding. *Food & Drinks: The food! The drinks! Oh man! I've been a "Yelp Elite Member" for almost 10 years and the food here at hT is near the top of all my reviews, hundreds of them. The highest quality ingredients, impeccably curated, ingeniously but simply paired, created with a true love for the art of cooking and the true joy of the consumer. This was obvious. We started with a Mainstream Manhattan and Old Fashioned from the bar. No ordinary bartender, she's a true mixologist/professional. Both drinks were excellent, no "simple syrup" used here, raw sugar cubes melted into the finest spirits, yummm! We order brussels sprouts from the appetizer menu everywhere we go and compare them. None have ever come close to our favorite, for a dozen years, until now. These were crispy on the outside, but juicy inside, flash fried to an al dente bite and finished (almost injected) with a cherry vinegar glaze that permeated every bite with sweet, tart perfection. We also started with the vibrant Camden County May Pea & Truffle Toast which was like a celebration of spring with a fresh, grilled baguette topped with fancy Italian truffle cheese (insane!), sweet tender may peas, and fresh pea shoots, all drizzled with olive oil for a fresh, earthy, and simple bite that captured the essence of this farm-to-table cuisine. For entrees we ordered the Ben Johnson's Soft Shell Crabs with remoulade and the Brown Sugar Brined Porkchop with pimp cheese, grits, and chard tomatoes with a side of hand cut fries with roast shallot mayo. Everything was stellar, no exceptions. I can honestly say this was **the best pork chop I've ever eaten, ever.** Tender, sweet, meaty and paired perfectly with the creamy cheese grits and the tang and smoke of the charred tomatoes. Ridiculously good! See my photos, too bad they don't come with "taste-o-vision", because, wow! The hand cut, skin on, double fried potatoes and roast shallot mayo were fantastic. As if that wasn't enough food, they also brought us stone ground cornbread, with a massive slab of rough salted butter, steamy, warm, soft, buttery perfection. I'm ready to go back now! *Value & Overall: I posted pictures of all menus and all prices. Their spirits and mixed drink selections from the bar are incredible. The food, service and ambience simply couldn't have been better. Prices, as you'll see, are exactly in line for what you get and an excellent value. Portions on everything were excellent and we ended up taking home quite a bit of food, which was also stellar the next day. I absolutely cannot recommend Harper's Table highly enough. This establishment, all parts of it, truly earn a five star review across the board with no exceptions. Have no hesitation, make a reservation, go, it will become an instant favorite.

Visiting family on the east coast and celebrating a new home. We were looking for a nice local spot…read moreand came across Harper's Table. From the reviews, it looked very enticing so we decided to take a chance here as opposed to venturing out to the bigger cities nearby. We arrived about an hour before closing and were seated immediately in a booth. Our server, Tally, greeted us soon after and offered some waters and menu suggestions since it was our first visit there. She did a really thorough job of explaining the menu. We placed an order for fried oysters appetizer and needed a few more minutes to decide on our entrees. We discussed sharing a few since we really couldn't decide. After a short time we then ordered our entrees. I ordered the Prime Ribeye, served with the "original" potato gratin and red wine braised onions. Amazing flavor! Julie ordered the Smoke In Chimneys Trout served filet with skin over Carolina gold rice, pink eyed peas and hope for Suffolk garden okra. Sara ordered the applewood smoked baby back ribs and requested the potato gratin. Finally, Larry ordered the Last Soft Shelled Crabs. Also added a pink lady apple salad to share. More on the food later. This is where our evening took a bit of a downward turn. Tally brought some plates and a sauce for our fried oysters appetizer. We had waited almost 30 to 40 minutes since being seated and ordering the oysters. After a bit of a wait, we didn't see Tally again so we questioned the delay with a few other employees because the table behind us had been seated well after our initial order and then soon after received.... three orders of fried oysters! We were still waiting. Another server whom we inquired about the delay came back and said they were working on our order and a manager would stop by to discuss the situation. A few minutes later another person arrived and presented a serving of fried oysters. Julie asked if they were the manager to which she replied, "Yes". It didn't appear as if she was going to discuss anything with us until Julie inquired is she was the manager. We proceeded to explain our discontent with the situation. She replied that our order was just placed a few minutes ago. Why did our server bring plates so much earlier? Why did she wait to place the order of our appetizers until after our full entree order was received? It was explained by Jessie, the manager, that all orders are placed and "fired" or initiated with the kitchen, together and entrees would follow appetizers being served at an appropriate time. While Jessie did apologize, it sounded like she was making excuses for the delay rather than owning any actual existence of the long delay. That didn't really make much sense since we ordered our appetizers well before with the purpose of having them served sooner since we needed time to review the menu for our entrees. Anyway, from that point on, we rarely saw our server. Other employees did stop in periodically to see how our meal was progressing. The website had a message from the owner stating, " honest seasonal cooking and remarkable hospitality" and "a memorable hospitality experience". Sadly, our experience lacked just that from our server. She never mentioned a miscommunication or any lapse regarding the food ordering/ delivering process throughout the rest of our meal. Not once! Thats strange since a manager was involved. Our visit was only "memorable" due to a lack of true "hospitality". Anyway, other than the lack of personal service from our server after ordering, the food was overall good. My steak was a little more medium rather than medium rare. But still tender, juicy and flavorful. The rib meat was good and the soft shell crab was delicious as was the pink lady apple salad. The trout was mostly flavorless and needed something to bring out any memorable taste. I just wish the service throughout our meal matched the food quality. We saw other members of the team more than our server after speaking to the manager. Not sure if that was by design or just happened that way. Jessie did stop by after payment and present a small gift card as a nice gesture due to the situation. Not sure if I'll give them another try as I do appreciate local spots and want to support them whenever possible. Just difficult when we're treated as an afterthought by our server. Keep on Yelp'n!

Atmosphere is nice and pups allowed outside, which I love. Only minor improvements I would add are fans outside because the flies are horrible in summer. Also, the outside area could be improved just a little with more comfortable seating and minor improvements to make it more cozy. Lastly, I despise the pressure of tipping in front of the server on a tablet. I like a paper check and a bill I can see before paying. It should also have a default 30% tip option because service is outstanding but you are pressured to do math right in front of them. Otherwise everything is great! Highly recommend!

Way overpriced, yes I know, it's even worse through doordash, but we were craving their food. Sadly they royally f'ed up our order. I received a burger with spicy fries (not the garlic fries I ordered) and unfortunately I'm allergic to whatever this spice is they put on the fries instead, so those went directly in the trash. What about the reuben, you ask? Wouldn't know. They didnt give us that sandwich AT ALL. How do you forget an entire meal? So basically I paid $70+ for one burger. And doordash would only give me back $55 of it. So thanks for nothing McGraths. We wont ever be ordering from you again.
