    Grilled Chicken Sandwich & Fries
    Nia D.

    My first time visiting this establishment & it did not disappoint. It's a family owned business ran by integral people. The service is fair & polite, food always came hot & ready. This was by far the best grilled chicken sandwich I've had. It was cooked all the way through, juicy & well seasoned, so were the fries. If you're looking for some fresh soul food made with love, I highly recommend this place!

    We figured we'd have a light meal while we wait for our grandson and this little cozy eatery was literally in front of us so we paroozed the menu online and they claimed to have apple and sweet potatoe jacks but when we asked the only dessert they had was chocolate chip cookies? That in my book says your food better be all that because the idea of Jack's warm and tasty were the draw! Anyhoo let's give them a shot wifey ordered a catfish dinner Ma Dear ordered the shrimp Dinner and I requested the cheeseburger and fries. Thier claim to fame was the cook everything to order so let's get it on, well it all came out hot the mac and cheese was cheesy the fries were golden brown the catfish was good but small so the compensated for the size by adding a few shrimp great customer service Now the food is Legit this place deserves and will get a return visit Stop by and enjoy this little Hidden Gem

    Fried fish dinner with two sides

    Soul food in Hickory! Easy to miss, but worth checking it out. Food is hot, seasoned well, and cooked to order- some waiting will be needed. The young man at the counter is very polite and answers all your questions since they have specials not on the menu. There are tables there, but it feels more like a take out restaurant. I've been a couple of times and all the traffic has been to-go! Check them out! Wont be disappointed! Only reason didn't give it a 5 is because sides have been hit or miss for me- LOVE their candied yams and Mac and cheese. Wasn't too fond of the rice and gravy and green beans were ok for my taste.

    I have literally known about them for 2+ years and every time the food has definitely hit the spot. You MUST try the Thirst - Mango Lemonade & Now&Later Juice. Honestly, all of the thirst drinks are bomb as they are made fresh by one of the owners! Also, the Mama Wings & Yams! Wheww I can honestly say my overall experience was a 9.5/10. I would love for you all to try them and let me know how your experience was! ( IG: @KeeLashayTV) . * .: 1457 Mount Pleasant Rd Chesapeake, VA 23322

    Heard about this spot... so we had to try it out. Everything was good. I would eat here again. The green beans had an awesome flavor. I haven't tried the Jacks yet but they look good. Mac and cheese could have been better... it was just ok.

To be…read morecompletely honest, I'd seen this place mentioned in chats identifying MAGA supportive businesses and that certainly gave me pause. BUT unless I see the business pushing their political viewpoints I never know how accurate rumors are plus I like to assess things for myself. Group of 3 came in on a rainy Memorial Day afternoon. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress who told us to sit wherever we'd like and she'd be right over. The place was not busy and our waitress was very sweet and efficient. We each ordered a different breakfast item (served all day) and I have to say everything was tasty. Pancakes cooked the way I like with crispy edges. The breakfast potatoes were crispy seasoned cubes but not at all greasy. I love that sourdough bread is an option. Overall, it's a good diner breakfast in a diner environment. We didn't get any dessert but there was a woman there as we were checking out who raved about the cake slices there and told us she comes almost every day for a slice of cake. I forgot to snap pics but the pics on here look very consistent with what we had and saw.

I usually get a martini, also great! and add in Gluten Free offerings and I'm sold! The wait staff are always so friendly and helpful. They have lunch specials which I have tried a few and have never been disappointed. I don't have a go to but the last time we went I enjoyed the Spanish chicken & rice and it was amazing. You get a decent serving so it usually ends up being a few meals for me. My husband got the crispy chicken sandwich with pickles on the side. He may not like them but I do! They are some of the best :D And we always get some of the homemade honey mustard sauce on the side for their fries. We have never been disappointed and I have not had an issue with their gluten free offerings. This is one of our faves and we will continue to come back over and over :)

It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.
