I have been wanting to try this place on the recommendation of friends for a while, and finally did…read moretoday! I am so glad I did! I ordered the French Toast plate. It came with two slices of French toast with just the right touch of spices, home fries, and homemade sausage patties (way better than the greasy commercial ones!). I also ordered a plain latte, which was excellent. No notes. My mom (who is 82 and VERY particular) ordered the "Uncle Richard" plate that came with two eggs, choice of meat (ham), home fries, and choice of pancakes or French toast (she chose pancakes). She also reported everything was delicious. ("Although I would rather have hash browns." Sigh. It's always something, ain't it?) She also ordered plain coffee. For someone who does not like to deviate from DD Keurig coffee, she thought the coffee was "Very good!" Widewater Grille gets its Cuban beans directly from Key West. Mom also reported the Women's Restroom was very nice. So there's that for your consideration. We will definitely be going back. Mom (who hates leaving the house these days) even called a friend on the way home and said the three of us need to go together soon. THAT is a better rating than Michelin could even dream of giving.

What a fantastic surprise!…read more My fiancé and I were in town visiting friends and originally planned to go to Waffle House for breakfast, but the wait was crazy. My brother, who lives in the Stafford area and is a serious foodie, recommended Widewater Grill. Honestly, it's the kind of place you could easily drive right past without realizing what you're missing. We are so glad we stopped. I had Uncle Richard's Breakfast with eggs, green peppers and onions, bacon, home-fried potatoes, and French toast. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. The home fries tasted truly homemade, which is harder to find than you'd think. The coffee was excellent, served in a real mug, and I loved being able to refill it myself. My fiancé ordered the 12-ounce strip steak cooked medium, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. He said it was cooked perfectly, which is something even many chain restaurants struggle to get right. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant has that local, family-run feel that immediately makes you comfortable. As a retired Marine family, we also appreciated the Marine Corps traditions and military pride displayed throughout the restaurant. Great food, great service, great conversation, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

I visited on Sunday, March 22 during a soccer tournament with my son and his friend for a quick bite. Before ordering, I specifically asked our server, Antonio, how long the food would take. He told us 5-10 minutes. We waited patiently for about 20 minutes before I went to check on our order, only to be told that the kitchen hadn't even started it. He said we will refund tomorrow, and that he didn't have the authority and that it would be processed "tomorrow." He didn't take my name, number, or any information so it was unclear how that would even happen. On top of that, his attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, making it feel like I was inconveniencing him just for asking about an order and how will he keep track on who he's refunding while we had already been waiting! This experience was extremely frustrating and disappointing especially with kids waiting. Lack of communication, poor service, and no follow-up make this feel like a complete rip-off.

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.

Great coffee shop!…read more The baristas are super friendly and helpful. The drinks are always yummy. They have coffee and non-coffee options. There are also some rotating specialty options! I had a pistachio lavender matcha latte that was lovely once. The baked goods are decent and have a good selection available. The inside is a very bright, modern vibe. Plenty of seating to meet up with a friend or to sit and get some work done.

There is a decent amount of seating inside. However, when I visited, every table except for one was occupied.

Some of the best we've had anywhere. Generous portions of meat. Perfectly crispy taco shell. I'm not an expert in Birria sauce ingredients, but I can say this Birria sauce is different in a good way. Tahine sprinkled on top of the tacos adds lime and salt. Game changer. Empanadas were good. Cheese and chicken is hot. Keep that in mind if ordering for kids. We stopped in, in between soccer games.

Paddy's is an Irish pub/veteran's bar/dive bar all in the same building with more than enough seating, but during the day could use a little more lighting. TVs were located all over the place so you could easily watch whatever sports games were on. Menu consists of sandwiches, burgers, full entrees, and some other items. Overall service was fine, perhaps the food could have arrived a little sooner, but our server was pleasant. The Breakfast Burger I had was tasty and the fries were excellent, but the fries portion was small. My friend had the open face Roast Beef sandwich which looked good, but the portion was small and the bread could have been better. Overall prices were fine and the food was decent. Would I return here? Possibly, depending on the circumstances.

I believe the tent comes with one of the charcuterie boards - Le Grand Cru Platter. I honestly thought it was alright, not the best sprays I've had and the bread was hard. I'd give it a 7/10. The winery cakes were PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I was IN LOVE. They apparently soak it for many hours in their wine. I highly recommend it! Both the strawberry and vanilla one was great, but I really enjoyed the strawberry cake. Apparently you have to order 3 days in advance. The tent was actually pretty warm if you kept it zipped up. There were two heaters in the tent. I think we got the tent for 12 people, but it comfortably fit 10 people. Overall I highly recommend this winery, I would TOTALLY come back !
