Grandma was taking orders and shes so sweet and patient!! I ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls for $11 and the Keona patty melt for $13+ $1 for lettuce and tomato. The order was up in about 6 minutes. The owner is very nice. He found me a box for togo since i wasn't eating there. So i greatly appreciated that. The eggrolls were very tasty and they came with a yummy dipping sauce. They were hot and fresh and came with 2 in an order with seasoned fries... I so appreciated the seasoning!! The fries were crispy and delicious. The burger was also good with all the fixings... This saved me from cooking dinner, so that was a plus!!! At their actual restaurant they have collard green and black eye peas egg rolls and Keona makes her own juices. Which I'd like to try. Shes a very sweet young lady whose always smiling and very helpful... I've tried J &K at their Providence Rd location and they're always very nice. They also sell good cake. The strawberry crunch and banana pudding cakes are yummy... I will have to try out their newest location also... Check them out!! 4 stars J & K...

So - I've tried this truck twice now at two different locations. The first was at an event at…read moreOozelfinch Brewery, the second was at the Food Truck Festival in Newport News. On both occasions, I was really underwhelmed by the food. So many people were raving about it, I thought maybe it was just me. But I got the sliders and fries, and I mean, they were *fine* - totally edible - but nothing special. And for $11 I was expecting something mind-blowing since that price tag would land me a full sized burger and sides most places. Wasn't thrilled with the service either time either. In the future, I'll probably be passing on this truck.

BUT what really stood out to me was the service. Our beautiful server Kalaynauh made the whole experience feel welcoming and effortless with such great attention to detail and genuine hospitality.

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. It was okay but nothing special. Onion rings were plain, no good flavor to them. The Shirley Temple was okay. The Raspberry Cream drink on their app showed about half raspberry, half cream. 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.

We selected Rice bowls with all meats. The tastes were blended perfectly and the portions were large enough for two meals. The parking was available in their private lot and on the side of the building on the street. Very easy to park. Ziggy's deserves all the praise they are receiving for the superior quality of their Rice bowls. The restaurant was very clean and the seating available was okay. Most of their customers get their orders to go but there are tables and chairs for those who want to eat inside. Ask for additional sauce for your food, it is delightful.

I ordered ahead for pickup, but when I arrived, I wasn't greeted, and the lady at the counter wasn't very friendly or welcoming. I ordered the chicken and rice since it's a popular item. When I got home, it looked and smelled amazing, so I was excited to dig in. But after the first bite, I was surprised--it lacked the bold flavor I was expecting based on reviews. Honestly, it reminded me of a Michelina's teriyaki chicken meal. I'm hoping this was just an off day, and I'd be open to trying it again--probably at the Portsmouth location next time.

Oh my goodness, we were so surprised with the presentation as well as the taste. The grits tasted fresh, large serving and seasoned well. Those jumbo shrimp were so perfect sitting on top of the grits. So pleasantly delighted with the amount of shrimp too. Usually, some places only want to give you 3-4 (small or medium shrimp). We really enjoyed our leftovers too! Can't wait to return for more of the same!

We visited MOD Olive while spending the day exploring Suffolk and thought it looked like a fun…read moreplace to try. The restaurant has a cool retro 1970s vibe with vintage colors, an old cigarette machine, and Bewitched playing on the TV, which made for a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was a little inconsistent. We arrived with a party of four but were seated at a table with only three chairs. When we pointed it out, the host didn't seem to realize the problem at first, which was an odd start to the meal. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. She let us know they were out of the home fries and another menu item before we ordered, which wasn't a big issue. However, it took close to 40 minutes for our food to arrive. My son ordered a burger that was advertised with fried mac and cheese on top, but when it came out, the mac and cheese was missing. Only after we asked were we told they had run out. It would have been helpful to know that before we ordered. The server apologized and offered to make something else, but it would have taken another 30 minutes, so we decided to keep the burger as it was. She ended up removing it from the bill entirely, which we appreciated. We also tipped her based on the original total because she handled the situation well. The food was good. I enjoyed my grilled chicken sandwich with pear, Brie, and honey, and my husband liked his French dip. That said, we felt the prices were on the high side for the overall experience, especially considering the long wait, unavailable menu items, and other service issues. Overall, MOD Olive has a fun concept and an interesting menu, but the restaurant could have been cleaner, communication could have been better, and the value didn't quite match the price. We'd be willing to give it another try in the future, but we're hoping for a more polished experience next time.

At first, the hostess said they were full inside but had a few seats outside. The weather was nice so we figured, sure. When we came outside, there were two other people that looked defeated. I asked how long they had been sitting there and one guy said 20 minutes, the other said 10. The whole time and no one had been there to even greet them. It was at this point, I knew we were doomed... but I never expected what actually happened. Eventually, a server comes out. He greets the other two folks then looks us and straight up ignores us. Look, ignore, and keep walking. Thinking that maybe he's just busy we chilled some and waited... nope... gave them water and still continued to ignore us. After THREE more times of this waiter ignoring us, we decided to go to the hostess for alternate seating. While there at the front, I was so infuriated that I told 3 other customer waiting in line our experience and insisted they enter at their own risk. They left. While we did get another seat with a waitress that was very amenable, the service from everyone else was just lackluster as heck. Overall, if you're just struggling for wings, sure... hit this place up. However, if you want an actual decent experience b/c of how much the cost of nights are... I'd advise pass. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 1 then a 4 (see review) Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Local dive that fits the school. Repeat customer: meh... doubt it Dog Friendly: maybe outside?

I ordered a fresh Margarita which was very good I believe the bartender that assisted us last night was Heather she's so bomb thank you Heather see you next time girl:) I ordered a half a pound of the blackened shrimp steamed shrimp that is with a side of fries. Oh my gosh I think they probably gave me about 10 oz of fries I couldn't eat them all but definitely hand cut fries are 10 out of 10 here.

This particular night I went with my boyfriend and we ordered drinks right off the bat. Drinks are such a steal! Good deals and happy hours available. The waitress was super friendly and service was top tier. I ordered the buffalo wings and they were flavorful and juicy. It's 10 wings for $13 which is a steal. My boyfriend ordered the Baron Burger, this particular day it was pretty dry which was alittle disappointing. Hopefully next time it'll be better. But overall this is a bar that's on rotation, good drinks and good food.
