I'm only giving this restaurant 3 stars because it's technically not a public restaurant. It has…read morebeen open for a few years but they mainly just serve the retirement complex. The signage for the restaurant was nonexistent and parking is sparse. The food was really good and reasonably priced. My daughter had the grilled cheese with bacon, the cheese tasted terrible to be honest, definitely not like the American cheese I've had. The waitress was really nice but I couldn't help feeling as if we were intruding on the community.

It took THREE hours to get drinks and food. I could be more understanding if we had not called in advance. There was much that could have been done to prepare for our arrival ( we were on time) One person was responsible for all of us . There were other employees that could have helped out to make things go a lot faster. Oh well, guess they figured " it's not my problem " . This place is obviously old . The women's bathroom only had two stalls and the doors hit each other..... I had the bourbon chicken and shrimp. It was at least hot when served. The taste was ok... If I was on my own I would not return here.

This is probably my worst meal at an Applebees... which I did not think was possible. I've been to…read moreApplebees all over the country and this one certainly is the most mediocre. The service was great, the waitress was very attentive. However, the restaurant itself is outdated, dirty, and dingy. The bar area was extremely loud and crowded for 5pm on a Monday. The thing I usually like about Applebees is the consistency across the board at every location. I can say, this was not the case at this location. My daughter and I ordered the 6oz sirloin and it was the saddest steak I've ever had at an Applebees. Usually their steak is always the same quality and taste. This one actually tasted and looked like they got it at Walmart. It was very fatty, unevenly cooked (the edges were somehow red but the inside was cooked more?), and over seasoned. The beverages we ordered were very sweet. I will not be returning.

The staff knew the regulars and asked about their families even wishing one a happy birthday. Now the food! I ordered the fish and shrimp with potato salad and rice and gravy. The fish and shrimp were hot and fried to perfection. The rice was cooked well and the gravy seasoned quite well. The potato salad was flavorful. The whole meal reminded me of family southern cooking and was fantastic. I definitely will return.

My wife and I both got the the Country Fried steak (again) because it was wonderful last two times. My grandson got the Gunslinger Burger. Our waitress, Caitlin was excellent and brought everything promptly. The presentation of the country fried steaks is a bit plain but the flavor could not be better. I did have to send my mashed potatoes and gravy back to be heated but Caitlin came back with a fresh replacement which is so hot I couldn't eat it. And this time they were as delicious as the steaks were. The green beans were also well seasoned and the biscuit that came with the dinner was superb. My my grandson's burger was clearly juicy, and so big he couldn't finish it! For dessert, I got the chocolate chess pie and my wife got the peanut pie with ice cream. The chess pie was a bit too chocolatey for me, and so my chocoholic wife and I swapped. We both loved our new choices. This is probably the best country food restaurant I've ever eaten at. I hope to repeat today's experience at the Virginia Diner many more times in the future.

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.

Service was on point, quickly answering questions and providing great recommendations to the menu the varies slightly throughout the seasons. Couldn't pass up the flights today, between mimosas and ice cream had to sample a little of everything! The picnic plate was perfect for a small group to enjoy and the flounder fish and chips was great! The shrimp and grits were perfectly cooked and very flavorful as well! Bit of crispy brussels were a great table share for our party of three. This is a casual and comfortable location with plenty of seating. Didn't need a reservation for an early Saturday lunch, but available via Resy to secure your spot if desired. If you are looking for a cozy space to enjoy a small or large party (back large family table style available) highly recommend Harper's Table for some fresh farm to table comfort foods!
