Reviews for Yoolks On Us in Portsmouth, VA
This is the only restaurant I've been to as a single diner, where I was greeted properly and asked "would there be anyone else... joining me for breakfast?" Not the usual "just one?" (ya loser) greeting from less educated hosts! Secondly, I doubt I've everbeen offered catfish with my eggs, but I'm glad I went with the suggestion! This little cafe in old town was terrific. Mywaitress was fantastic, the staff was fantastic, and the food so delicious, I was kicking myself for having missed it for 3 ofthe 4 days I was in Portsmouth! Read more
I was sort of disappointed. I had seen pictures and was really excited to try this place today Based on the pictures I saw... online I truly was expecting my food to at least be good. Well if im asked how my visit was I can only say it was alright. Why?Well let's start at the beginning. When we entered a sign said wait to be seated so we did, but no one came so we were unsure ofwhat to even do. Big turn off for me but I waited because the music was nice and I was vibin'. Finally a man came over afterseveral other people came in and said we could sit over there. We had no clue what he was talking about but ended up on a sofato wait to be seated. We also aren't sure who the man was as we didn't see him anymore. After about 30 minutes of waitingbecause they were very busy we were seated at a table. I had no problem with the wait because I expected great food. Our serverasked if it was our first time there, it was. So he gave us the run down which I liked. We placed our orders and waited quitesome time for our food to arrive. Again not a problem. I've learned to wait because of a lack of help. Once our food arrived wewere so excited because it looked so delicious, not the case. So my collards were not seasoned at all but were sweet, verydisappointing and confusing. We also had Shrimp and grits which was plentiful but bland. Needed salt and sharp cheese. Now thecornbread was good. Moist and sweet but too small, I could have used a bigger piece. The crab cakes were ok, I loved that theywere fried and well seasoned, a good portion and not much filler, but they also were not lump. But that was ok because theytasted ok. $15.99 for two crab cakes, two sides and cornbread wasn't bad but it should at least be good...not just ok. Also ourserver was ok...he wasn't very attentive. We had to keep getting his attention to ask for things like utensils???? napkins andrefills. I don't like an inattentive server. We also had a turkey club with fries and eggs Benedict with c Read more

Great service, great atmosphere, great food, great drinks!! Washington Mamosa( I thk that?s the name)- pretty good Catfish-... batter was too sweet. I wanted more southern spices but it was still good. Mac N cheese- GREAT potato hash- could have beencooked longer but still good I will definitely visit again and try something new!! Read more
Someone mentioned this restaurant so we put it on places to go the next day. Got there around 12p on Sunday. The two of us were... seated immediately with AJ as our waiter. We ordered a pineapple mimosa, crab Benedict, yolk pancake combo. The owner Keithstopped by to thank us for coming in. Overall great service and good tasting food. Read more
More like a 3 1/2. Our first time here - I'd heard of it. We were taking an early morning walk and the hubby wanted breakfast.... Good service, good homecooking, and fast. Portions could be a bit larger, but food has flavor. Small, off the beaten path place. Very casual. Would patronize again. Read more
