Yoolks On Us in Portsmouth, VA

Omg!!! When you want an amazing breakfast and in the Norfolk area you need to go here... the customer service was amazing they were on it and very nice... the food was amazing a must try...

We just moved to town, and wanted to try out this restaurant. We are happy we came in. It looks as if it's newer, they definitely need to make some renovations inside of the building, but the restaurant itself was clean. The restrooms do need a little bit of servicing, but other than that we did like the atmosphere with the music, and our server she was very nice. I ordered the pancake combo, I got the one with blueberries in it, and my husband got the Greek Benedict, add salmon. Our potatoes were delicious, my bacon wasn't as crispy as I had asked for, and my husband originally got grits, and they were not very good, so he replaced them with the potatoes. They came out very fresh and hot. I did really enjoy my pancakes, and the eggs were fine. One thing I will say that needs to be communicated to its customers from this restaurant, is that there is a 20% gratuity automatically added onto your bill whether it's two of you one person, or a party of six. Although my husband and I always tip at least 20% for good service, if the principal that that should be communicated, and also be more of a choice rather than a forced situation. That definitely caught me by surprise due to the fact that it was just the two of us. Overall, I did enjoy my experience, we will definitely be headed back.

The food, service and ambience was great! We will be back for the delicious southern cuisine!

This was my first time going here and definitely won't be my last. They are super busy so plan to wait to be seated, but the food is worth the wait! They have mimosas and a full bar so I tried the poinsettia (cranberry mimosa)...a good balance of juice and champagne. They also have a jumbo pitcher version, which can be shared with your table. I tried the shrimp and grits and added a side of turkey sausage patties and a side of collards. I got the shrimp and grits sans cheese. It was delicious!! Halfway through my meal, I added the remaining sausage and collards to my bowl and it was delicious!! The collards had good flavor. They have a good variety of seating, and can seat probably about 40-50 people comfortably. There are 2 guys in the kitchen and they do a great job getting the food out! The service was okay. You may have to remind your server what you need, but I'd still go back. Check it out!!

Way overrated! Average food; from the flavorless grits to the bland pancakes, just disappointment. What's up with the high credit card surcharge and fees? Automatic tipping as well? Is this even legal without it being posted? Just truly not worth it
