    a plate of food and a fork

    I see the new restaurant just opened. So i was excited to stop by. When i entered i was greeted. There were several people dining in. So i had high hopes for the food. There's a sign out front with her daily specials. She has breakfast and lunch options. I ordered the french toast breakfast, which came with 3 texas toast french toast, 2 pieces of meat, and home fries. My order was done in about 5 minutes and i was on my way. The portion was a good amount and it was filling. The french toast and potatoes were really good. I enjoyed everything. I went back the next day and got the meatloaf special for $10.99 which came with 1 piece of meatloaf and 2 sides. I am slightly greedy so i asked to add a second piece of meatloaf. She added that and sliced bread for $5. At first it didn't seem like $5 was reasonable since the meal was only $11, but i don't think it was to bad after having time to think about it. I do wish the meal came with a roll or some sort of bread option. The meal was tasty and filling. I think this will be my new spot. The owner Jenna and her staff are really friendly. I will certainly be back. Check them out!!!

    So Jenna's Cafe does not look like much when you pull up, as it's in a strip mall next to a gas station. And when you enter it's a very casual restaurant with maybe six tables and it open kitchen so you can see everything that's going on. They also have a kiosk where you can make your order faster as when I came in there was only one person working and she was cooking at the time. However she still took the time to greet me and ask me what I would like and started making my order before I even ordered on the kiosk. Their menu is basic American fare, but they do it ridiculously well. I ordered the Saturday special chocolate chip pancakes and bacon exactly how I like it still slightly chewy but Chris around the edges the pancakes we're fluffy but still have that it's like crisp Edge and did not need the syrup that was in the box with them. I'll be honest but my to go box did not make it home, it didn't even make it to the interstate before that food was gone. Absolutely delicious and well priced I will definitely be back as those were some of the best chocolate chip pancakes I've had in a while

We ordered some coffee and took a look at the menu. At first glance, my daughter was stated the menu reminded her of waffle house at school. Gotta love college kids! I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet but omited the sides because I wasn't sure if they were gluten free. My husband also ordered an omelet, his was the meat lovers. He had toast and potatoes as his side. My daughter enjoyed a Eggs Benedict. The food came out pretty quick which was nice because it started to get quite busy. Our omelets came out and were huge and full of ingredients. I had no complaints. The eggs on the eggs benedict were a little over done but the rest of the plate was perfect so it didn't bother my daughter at all. Overall everything was really good and when we were leaving there was a wait so I'm glad we got there early. We will most definitely be back!!

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 ordered the Hangover Plate, and it was exceptional. The homemade sausage gravy over a fresh biscuit, topped with eggs, cheese, and bacon, was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. The seasoned home fries were perfectly cooked and complemented the meal well. We also tried the 185 Cheeseburger, and it was equally impressive. The burger was juicy, cooked exactly right, served on a fresh brioche bun, and topped with fresh ingredients and a delicious smoky mayo. The service was friendly and attentive, the food arrived hot, and the portions were generous. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. It's easy to see why this restaurant continues to win local awards. If you're anywhere near Yorktown or Newport News, 185 Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Of…read morecourse, as someone who would go to great lengths for a good pancake and/or waffle, we had to make the drive out here to try it for ourselves, and boy am I glad we did. Not only was the lady who served us beyond nice and helpful, but she also helped us make up our minds on what to order and was constantly checking up on us, but never in an annoying way. As for the food, it was absolutely amazing. The portion sizes are more than good enough, and the pancakes were silky smooth and packed with huge flavors. With so many options to choose from, they definitely have a flavor for everybody. The eggs Benedict were some of the best I've ever had. The hollandaise sauce was rich, creamy, and had that perfect buttery flavor without being too heavy. The muffin the eggs came on top of was fluffy and made for the perfect pairing. The breakfast platter was also very good and came with a great selection of meats and eggs. Everything was cooked well, and there was more than enough food to leave you satisfied. If you're around the area and want some amazing breakfast, I'd say look no further. The food, portions, and service were all fantastic, and I'd definitely come back again.

As it was 90 plus degrees outside, we chose to dine inside and the wait was long. The metal benches and chairs outside didn't help as it was blazing outside so we chose to stand. As we were called in and sat, the place was packed and there's not much room to move around but they make it work. Our waitress was attentive and handed us menus and took our drink orders. Upon bring our drinks see let us know about the house specials and the specialty topping for pancakes they were running currently. The menu looked like it had seen better days, it had obviously gotten wet at some point and was dried but still legible so I guess that's what matters most. We placed our orders and chatted. Looking around the establishment, it's probably more of a neighborhood spot. One thing that did catch my eye was the wall behind the bartender, it was packed with alcohol and different beers, made it easy to what the places served and draws your eyes in. Anyway, after about 25 minutes, our food was brought to us. The food, I can't speak honestly say my pancakes were good, my omelette was okay but the hash browns were too thin and overcooked to a crisp. So I recommend the pancakes if you're thinking of trying this place out and anything else you'd have to decide on your own.
