For years, I’ve wanted to try this place out! So glad we finally did! It’s amazing! Fast service! Home town atmosphere! And above all, the food was hot and delicious! Pic is the kids plate!!

I have to admit, like others I was a little nervous once I saw the outside. But a previous review convinced me to go inside. I was looking for some decent seafood, at fair prices. I was staying down by the waterfront and some of those places down there looked great, but just overpriced, so I went to Google maps and found this place. I have to say it didn't disappoint! I am from the coast of southern Virginia so I am used to good seafood, and Fridays 1890 didn't disappoint! For $14.99 I got hushpuppies, two sides and a generous portion of flounder (and I only got the "regular" size). The finger hush puppies were very tasty and cooked just right. The flounder was lightly breaded and honestly just perfect. All food came out within about 10 to 12 min and was fresh and hot. Also the service was very friendly and inside was very clean and homey.

Last Night experience felt like something out of the Twilight Zone. Let’s start with the immediate service. The establishment was empty, but you could hear staff chatting on the back not knowing that there were customers in the building. After a few knocks on the counter and clearing of the throat did someone come out in a panic with a bit of confusion. We ordered our food and it came out subpar. However the final strike occurred when my wife looked at me in horror.
As she looked at me, her eyes slowly glanced at her plate. My eyes followed, I saw why her face looked the way it did. There was wire from what I assume to be from a wire brush in her food.
We alerted the waitress and she was in shock and told us that she was getting the manager. She came back with the option to give us half off or remove the meal from the bill… That shouldn’t be an option. However the manager never came over.

First time in today and it was great! It's very deceiving on the outside, but clean, fresh, and comfy inside. Food was amazing, and so was the service! Cookie was our waitress and her timing was on point. We will definitely visit again when in town! ❤️

This place has gone down so much. I ordered their fried chicken and barbecue plate. The food tasted old like it was frozen and freezer burnt. Disgusting. 22 dollars wasted. The place looks run down and tacky. Young and inexperienced employees. I won't be returning.
