There is a decent amount of seating inside. However, when I visited, every table except for one was occupied. I wanted to stay and work for a bit - but that one open table was right next to a large table of very loud children - and I needed a quieter environment to work. So I moved on. Service was good.

Three of us went for lunch here for the first and last time on a Tuesday. There was one couple…read morealready eating. No one was at the counter in front of us. The young woman at the till didn't greet us or interact with us. Do we seat ourselves? Order at the counter? No direction from the woman. When we finally figured out we were supposed to order at the counter, "Ms. Personality" acted like we were bothering her as we ordered burgers, bags of chips, and drinks from the cooler. All three of us asked for no cheese. It took an inordinately long time to get the burgers. The very sweet grill cook delivered them. Two of us felt bad for her and did not return the burgers that came with cheese. The third person in the party did. She (very good-naturedly) returned to the grill, where a loud, whispered discussion ensued about whether we had asked for cheese. My friend and I ate the burgers. They were generic frozen patties, not ground beef. Considering the price, this was not only disappointing, but outrageous. Ms. Personality apparently clocked out while we waited for our food, so maybe she was ready to leave when we came in. As she was leaving, we noticed she wore a T-shirt that said something about "a$$holes." Not exactly customer-service-oriented or professional. Between the attitude, food quality, price, and wait time, go across the road (literally) to Widewater Grille unless it's a Monday or Tuesday when they are closed. (The French toast is HEAVEN!) In that case, just drive another 8 minutes into Garrisonville and go to Chili's. Or Five Guys. Or McDonald's. Much more worth the time and money. Cross-posting.

It's great for on-the-go if you forgot to eat breakfast or lunch and they even have post-workout shakes the help repair muscle. I took a star off because check out was weird. They insisted I give them my first and last name as well as my phone number and email in order to send the receipt?? If I didn't provide that then I can't buy the shake?? Like that was annoying and intrusive and I would suggest removing that check out system. Other than that, everything tasted good and I'm glad someone finally brought this type of business to stafford!

But now the portion of smoked salmon is so small for the price that it honestly feels like I'm being robbed of what the sandwich used to be. If you're going to charge luxury prices, please give a real portion. Let me feel like I'm eating something indulgent, not something rationed. I'm rooting for this place, but I need them to do right by their customers.

This place is a hidden gem right off Hwy 1/Jefferson Davis. The brewery is a micro or pico brewery,…read moreand the selection is top notch here here. My favorite is their Double Tap Belgian Dubbel. It's also awesome that it's attached to a Homebrew supply shop, so if you have ever wondered if you can brew beer (you can. don't be so silly as to doubt yourself, you super capable person, you) this is the place to get your supplies and learn. The only downside is they close at 6. So if you drive down 95 or Hwy 1, stop on your commute and have a beer. Let the traffic die down and then head home.

I was so excited to visit this place after reading all the positive reviews; however, our…read moreexperience was a letdown due to the hospitality (or lack of it). We were here earlier than usual (10:30 am, don't judge me for drinking before noon!!!) and we're the only customers. It's uniquely located at a camp ground, but parking is a bit limited. The tasting room is small but has amble seating. There was a piano in the tasting room and no one was at the tasting room when we entered. My daughter who is a beginner pianist, wanted to play. Since there were no signs on the piano that forbid people touching, she went ahead and played. Then an older gentleman came in and told us in a stern tone that the piano is not for playing. He was not friendly at all and even after we apologized and ordered a flight for sampling, he still was not engaging. I'm not sure if he is the brew master or just someone works for the campsite store, but he didn't seem too happy to be there. We had the 2 stouts, an Amber, and pilsner on tap for our flight. They were all just OK. We didn't want to order more because his attitude and the sense that we were not welcomed there... Which was too bad because it was a nice space with plenty of outdoor seating, a playground in the back for kids to play while parents enjoy some refreshing beer. We will most likely not go back again given the cold-shoulder treatment.

The first thing you'll notice as you enter is how creamy and smooth the gelato appears. The second…read morething that will be apparent will be how small the portions are in comparison to their associated prices. The cups range from small to jumbo, with the prices beginning at $3.50ish and ending at almost $6. However, don't be fooled as I was thinking that this was about to be a highway robbery. The kind man who runs the shop and also works behind the counter makes it his business to not just place the gelato into the cup but, instead, pack it into each cup and heap it on top. Therefore, don't worry, you definitely will get your money's worth. [Side note: with all sizes except the small you can get multiple flavors in the same cup.] The flavors all look amazing, however, some are better than others, in my opinion. My family and I tried the green apple (honesty, it tasted like a cleaning solution mixed with a tinge of alcohol), lemon (very delicious but very tart), coconut (my favorite), and cookies and cream (my second favorite if the lemon is out but it contains more cream than cookies). The flavors all appear fluffy and smooth but some are more icy than smooth. Overall, this place is worth the trip and your taste buds. Go and enjoy! COVID Note: The owner/worker wears a mask but does not make his patrons wear one. Also, he allows indoor dining, which is nice because his large seating area is very welcoming with nice tables and plush leather chairs.
