$14.50 wasted.  Panera too far away to get refund, smh.

Asked daughter to bring me a salad from Panera bread. I said I want fresh avocado, as she was on the phone when she placed the order I heard her say fresh avocados please. $14.50 wasted, Avocado looks like it has black mold and a gray fungus, smh. Daughter tried to get refund over the phone as we live too far away, but management refused. It was a Fuji salad with added avocado. I don't know where this salad was before my daughter bought it, but I'm not eating it. Examined the salad and found mixed greens brown. One lid of two on the salad dressing , smeared with something, not salad dressing. I spoke to Candace, not the manager my daughter spoke too earlier which informed me , I can get a refund anytime we are in the area again. She said the refund owed is written in a book. She was very sweet and apologetic.

Never ordering here again I asked for a green goddess cobb with chicken and didn't get chicken and then I ordered Mac and cheese and didn't get that either. If I could give one zero stars I would!

Everytime I pop in here they are out of things , food,oat milk, fruit ,soups ..... i cant rememberthe last time they didnt tell me "oh sorry we are out of that ". So funny thing The gas stations ( wawa /sheetz) they get a huge biz .....always have everything? Where is the incentive to come here? Costs more and will probably not have something??? Ive come at all diff times of day and on diff days .... So you guys earn your 1star

Cheddar broccoli Mac and cheese

Do not bother with the broccoli cheddar Mac and cheese - I placed order for the large- when I received this in drive thru I looked at it and asked the girl about the amount - 'this is a large and it's barely half full ' she had no response so I asked again and she still didn't have an answer . The large is 10$. Expected to be a full bowl. Then to top it off got a sandwich with hardly any meat! Ridiculous. Pay a lot more to be 'Healthier' Frustrating!

Recognized…read moreas one of Fredericksburg's best, it's consistently recommended by locals as one of the top breakfast places around. Service: The service is consistently excellent. While many servers deserve recognition, our most recent visit stood out thanks to Sam. She was friendly, helpful, courteous, and genuinely welcoming. Atmosphere: The restaurant features an open seating area, plus a separate side section with additional booths and tables. There's a subtle Greek feel to the space that adds character while still feeling casual and comfortable. Food & Popularity: Because Jimmy the Greek is so popular, wait times can vary depending on when you arrive, especially for larger parties of five or more. If you come later in the morning, they may run out of popular items like biscuits and gravy, which are signature breakfast dishes. On rare occasions, we've also experienced food that was slightly underdone (such as eggs under-cooked too soft or French toast that was a bit soggy). Overall Experience: Jimmy the Greek is one of the best breakfast spots in the Stafford/Fredericksburg area and even in several surrounding counties. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it remains one of our top breakfast choices and easily earns five stars. Our experiences have been consistently positive, and the quality of both the food and service keeps us coming back. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Been here several times over the years he's been in this location and each visit has been great!…read moreService is always friendly and excellent! This visit I got the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy on it and it was amazing! Their home potatoes are tasty, especially when you ask for them extra crispy! Coffee was great too. We'll definitely keep on coming back!

Greeted at entrance and held door open for us (I'm on a Rollator so very pleasant experience upon…read morearrival that I rarely experience.) Seated quickly and server was there in under one minute and gave us a bottomless pot of coffee and brought Splenda (which is not on table.). My wife ordered avocado tacos and said they were excellent. Her grits were excellent! My food however was not great. Ordered beef hash and eggs. I really wanted corned beef hash but not on menu. Beef chunks, what few there were, were actually cold as in right out of refrigerator cold while all the other ingredients were just right so it's like they tossed them in at last minute with no time to warm up! Overall it was very heavily seasoned and after a few bites I lost my appetite. Way too salty too. Again the grits I ordered on side were excellent. I took 3/4 of my meal home to try to eat later and perhaps add some corned beef hash to but haven't had the desire to finish yet after two days so likely I won't eat it. Something about the seasoning and overly salted that didn't sit well with me. Overall this is a very pleasant upscale restaurant but there are zero bargains on menu ($54 with tip for 2 people for breakfast = very high IMHO.) Music was a bit loud as we were almost directly under and between two speakers. Could just be me but I can't see any need for high volume music in such a nice restaurant. Perhaps when it's busy it helps with the overall din? Checkout was super easy with QR code but I dislike the 18% low end suggested gratuity. Let me decide. I know there is a customized tip capability but 15 vs 20 should suffice. Less for poor service which I doubt you will get at First Watch. However I cannot ever recall in my 76 years tipping any server more than 20%. Overall the food selection is fairly non-traditional and limited. 1 pancake is $9. Seriously WHO orders just one pancake? If one goes to Cracker Barrel you can get 3 pancakes, a meat and two eggs for a buck more. And delicious. This place is definitely more upscale but honestly it's about the food, right? I prefer good tasting food vs upscale so likely we won't return (but man those yellow grits with a big scoop of butter on top were delicious - better than Cracker Barrel for sure!). If I should ever return I'm ordering two sides of grits (or a big bowl) and that's it! Out for under $8 + coffee. Not sure how this chain will survive but if I were the operations manager I'd find a few menu items to sprinkle in that appeal to us tightwads, with hope some will order the higher priced offerings. A very basic pancakes, eggs and meat for ~$10 would get my attention. Almost all their menu items were in the $14-16 range which is like dining in the big city. Too much for Fredericksburg I'm afraid. It's not that we can't afford First Watch, it's that First Watch's (2 of them) are out of their element here. I wish 'em luck but fear, like the past tenants in that building, they won't make it unless they can find a menu that packs people in 7 days a week. There were probably only 4 tables occupied during our Tuesday at 11am visit. My father owned/managed several restaurants growing up and he always said you can put a restaurant in a barn in a cornfield 20 miles from no where but if the food is excellent and price is fair the public will beat a path to your door every day! He was right.

However, nothing really stood out as exceptional. The service was friendly but a bit slow, even though the place wasn't very busy. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, but the tables could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. Prices are fair, though I've had better breakfasts elsewhere for the same cost. Not a bad place to grab a morning bite, but not one I'd go out of my way for either.

Aladin Mediterranean Kitchen - Fredericksburg, VA…read more My visit to Aladin Mediterranean Kitchen was delicious and definitely worth the stop! I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro, the Traditional Hummus, and the Steak Panini -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared beautifully. Our waitress did start off on the wrong foot, and I honestly considered deducting a star. But everyone has a bad day, and to her credit, she returned to our table with a smile and gave us great service for the rest of the meal. I truly appreciated the turnaround. Overall, the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the dining experience ended on a high note. I'd absolutely come back!

The restaurant offers an expansive menu with a lot of variety. I'd recommend staying focused on the Mediterranean specialties. I had the spicy hummus which was smooth and came with a side of olive oil, and the falafel platter--served with rice, tahini, and fresh vegetables--hit the right notes for a traditional meal. While also offer items like pizza, pasta, etc. The service was a highlight; both the staff and the fellow guests at the bar were incredibly welcoming and friendly. It's the kind of place where the people make you feel right at home. In terms of value, the pricing is very fair for the portion sizes and quality of the food. Unfortunately, the evening was dampened by a persistent, unpleasant sewage smell throughout the bar area. It was significant enough to make the dining experience difficult and overshadowed what would have otherwise been a very pleasant meal. #Enjoygoodpeople

RESTAURANT: Full of fun kawaii style wall posters and canvases, it really adds a cute touch to the restaurant. There's ample seating inside in case you want to eat in. FOOD/DRINKS: Three poke bowls and three milk teas. Not all for me, calm down. I chose the 2 protein poke bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, a brown rice base, cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame, ginger, pineapple, avocado, and roasted nori as my toppings, with ginger sauce and eel sauce. I should have asked for the sauces on the side because they were very generous with layering it. The taro milk tea was delicious. I asked for the tiger syrup topping (adding instruction options of less sugar and ice) to add a little kick to the tapioca boba pieces. I will 100% be trying the other teas in future! OVERALL: 5/5 for sure. I love the ease of ordering on the touchscreens in store and also placing your order for pick up - being able to choose a time in advance too is awesome.

The staff is friendly and patient as we looked over the menu. We found out that is you order a milk tea you can get a second one at half price. It is a little expensive, for what I bought above it was $56.64. There is a lot in the Poke bowls. My kids enjoyed them. They said it filled them up. The milk teas are tasty. This is a place we will come back too to try different things.
