Salmon Salad
Erika B.

Our take-out tonight was delicious! We got a bottle of their ranch to take home, and it's the best! Everything was great all the way down to the pickle accoutrement for the sandwich. We can't wait to go back!

You just can't beat this place for brunch, lunch or dinner!....And, the nostalgia of it all. How many restaurants can you go to where almost everything you eat is homemade, even the ice cream!?? Located in the seafood, laid back small town of Urbanna, Va......Something Different does not disappointment and keeps me coming back for more when I come to this town to visit family. The smell of fresh out of the oven, raisin bread, calls your name, to take some extra back to DC. Something Different cooks all their sauces, dips, ice cream, breads and beautiful pies in house. Peanuts are roasted there too. In houses roasted coffee is served in a french press with fresh cream. We came here on a Sunday for brunch. We enjoyed beignets with our fresh coffee for starters and fresh, buttermilk biscuits. I couldn't help but to notice huge BBQ smoke out back and so I definitely knew I was going to order the rib plate. It was outstanding!! I mean everything was delicious, even the cold craft beer! In addition, we tried the "Southern Comfort" Sandwich which comes with tender, mouth-watering brisket and pimento cheese--slathered in BBQ sauce. We also tried the Crab Cakes and Soft Shell crabs with sides of spicy hoe cakes, green beans and mac & cheese, fries and onion rings. ANNNNDDD, if that was not enough food, we tried a plate of smoked wings! Being from the DC/Maryland area, the crab expectation was high. Well, this place...knocked it out of the park. It was all great...Thumbs Up!! Now top it all off with homemade ice cream from the Bakery attached to the restaurant....one word....HEAVEN!! A brunch fit for a king and nap worth for sure. We all left satisfied and.....enjoyed both the food and friendly service. If you are ever in vicinity of Urbanna VA or on a road trip passing through.....Something Different is a must and worth a visit for sure!!

The soft shell tacos have become my new favorite. They are amazing! So juicy. Something Different...you nailed it again. Urbanna would never be the same without you.

The ambiance was beautiful right on the water. The service…read morewas top notch, always on time. The food was another story. My wife got oyster chowder and an oyster po-boy. I think she got about 3 Oz of soup, which was flavorless until salt and pepper were added in significant quantity. My wife liked the po-boy. I had a special - the swordfish - for $28 the portion was miniscule and left me quite hungry. I think there was about 8 cubic inches of fish, over a red pepper broth, and served with fried cauliflower. It also required a large dose of salt and pepper to induce some flavor.

Great outside space with great oysters. Extremely over priced menu, especially for the quality of…read morefood. Server was very friendly but after bringing water initially, took over 10 minutes to take any orders at all. Also took a while to come to our table each time. Scallops were cooked absolutely perfectly! However, there was soooo much salt on them that it was overpowering and made the dish not good. The corn with it was great though. The red pepper crab soup was the worst on the table, they have a lot of work to do on this soup. Ceviche was flavorless and in whole pieces of shrimp, wish they were chopped up. Can't go wrong with oysters! The lemon coconut custard was not a custard, it was runny coconut yogurt with coconut flakes and fruit on top. If you want a yogurt parfait, order this! Chocolate cake was okay, nothing crazy. Would not come back to eat

It's just a genuine local rersturant with down home ambiance and reasonable prices. I travel from Charlottesville just to enjoy their soft shell crabs.

Decided to stop here for a quick lunch, and we were quite hungry. Walked in the restaurant, which…read moreseemed sort of chaotic, as there was no one to greet/seat us, so we finally decided to seat ourselves. Shortly after we sat, one employee came and cleaned our butter-laden table. The stench of the rag used to wipe the table was stomach turning, and the smell lingered throughout our stay. After several minutes, another employee approached the table and asked what we wanted to drink, then walked off to fill our glasses. Then, another came to us with menus, then said she'd be back and walked off. A while later, the first employee came back with our drinks and said she'd be back. Almost fifteen minutes went buy and yet another employee came over to take our orders and asked what we were drinking. We placed our orders and then NOTHING. For over half an hour, we sat nursing our water and soda...after forty-some minutes, one of the employees said in passing it shouldn't be much longer for our order to be up. After another five minutes, we got our food. In their defense, there were two larger groups in the restaurant, but geez, the place wasn't THAT crowded. The food: standard fare, fried seafood, sandwiches,...it was OK, but the portions were huge. The pricing: pretty average, about $12-15/pp. The atmosphere: bleh. Outdated, sparse bathrooms, and the nasty smelling wash cloths......I don't want to think what the kitchen is like... The service: chaos. Nice employees, some were friendly, some acted like they were forced labor. But man, we didn't know WHO to ask about anything, so we just kept to ourselves as the clock ticked into the afternoon.... Overall? We won't be back. Why? I can still smell that washcloth. ICK.
