Many have asked what exactly a Plaid Turnip is...The Plaid Turnip is a unique mixture of great food, good friends and fantastic works by local artists all rolled together in a fun and inviting atmosphere that welcomes you in and makes you feel at home. We are happy to offer food that doesn't require a dictionary to understand but also willing to try something a little different.We are...
I love going to breakfast or dinner at the plaid turnip! Cute little artsy - café esq in downtown suffolk. Great portions for good prices. The only downside is the wait time for your meal but i...
Love this place, love the food are waiter glen was awesome. And you can't beat the price I recommend this place to anyone who wants to go have a nice Sunday morning breakfast....
Well.. perhaps it was uber busy or poorly staffed. I paid the guy $5 extra cash, if he would stop what he was doing and ring my bill up so I could get out of there. The food was good, but the...
This place is a really cute spot in downtown Suffolk. On the menu, my favorite is the fried green tomatoes. They take a classic dish and add a twist that just makes it amazing!! I can never get a...
Tried to eat lunch for restaurant week and after waiting 30 min and being seated was told they were out of everything.
What a little jem. Tucked away in downtown Suffolk, it is a southern cooking diner hybrid. I had the fish sandwich. It was reasonably seasoned and cooked perfectly. No complaints with the...
This place is a must go back .awesome food and large portions .well worth it.
This place is delicious but they have a CHRONIC short staff problem. This is ridiculous. Empty tables yet always have to wait 20-30 minutes. Management needs to either get on this or be fired... I love eating here but will stop due to the horrid service times.
The meatloaf dinner Cyndi brought home was EXCELLENT !!! Thanks for saving it for her to bring home !!!
The food was GREAT!!!! Had the shrimp and grit omelet It was amazing
this use to be a great restaurant to come to. Now doing reserved tables and folks not showing up while folks wait for a table. When I finally did get seated I continued to watch the reserved tables. From the time we got here the reserve table didn't show up for teeny minutes. I could see call ahead seating and you are on the top of the list when you show up, but not have it vacant and customers...
This is an awesome place to eat for breakfast. They have a large selection of omelets as well as other breakfast items. They use fresh vegetables and the serving sizes are large. Everything to include the sides were delicious.
GREAT! Grace-ann waited on us & took excellent care of us smile emoticon They actually know how to cook eggs many different ways, grits were perfect & bacon was crispy! Serving sizes were good too wink emoticon We will definitely be going back smile emoticon
We went one time.I guess we were expecting the fireworks and it just didn't happen for us.Good burgers are everywhere.If that is what you are going for,this is a place.Just didn't hit us right.Never went back.
Best eatery in Suffolk. We have been going to this place since about the time it opened. In an area that is left mostly to chains, fast-food, and delivery pizza, this is a jewel in Suffolk. If you like homemade food and good service with a reasonable price, this is where you should go.
Sunday morning was absolutely ridiculous. Couldn't sit down because you are holding tables for people who were previously there but they left because your kitchen was 45 minutes behind on cooking. I must say that I've never been to any restaurant and been told that their kitchen is 45 minutes behind because they can't keep up. No matter how busy they were. Needless to say we left along with the...
Everything I've had has been good. Service I'd slow sometimes; especially for breakfast.
Great place to eat. A very warm atmoshere and the food is tasty. The prices are as friendly as the staff.
The food is always good and the portions are large enough we always bring the leftovers home. the servers are friendly and efficient.
Food is good; however, not the fastest if you want to eat and go. Service was good but if you have time restraints you may not want to dine here. The food comes out rather slow.
I have never never never had a bad meal here and the prices are always more than reasonable. Wish it was in Richmond
My wife and I had dinner at The Plaid Turnip. My wife ordered the rock fish special. I ordered a New York strip steak. The rock fish was fine. My steak had gristle, and it had not been properly trimmed before preparation. It was also overcooked and tough. My baked potato was barely warm. We'll pass on The Plaid Turnip.
Best breakfast anywhere! The omlets are amazing and the French toast and the pancakes are melt in your mouth delicious! Make sure yo
Stopped by for breakfast this week with my wife. First time here. First impression was super! Nicely set up venue and very clean. Bar area is separate from mail dining area. Nicely decorated and cozy. Service was spot on this morning. No problems with the wait staff.....very conscientious. Food was a disaster. One thing that no one should do is...
Plaid Turnip has a great variety of food.. seafood, steak, bbq, and comfort foods like hamburger steak and fried chicken. They have very good prices and very good side dishes.
We ordered breakfast there. Good food, comfortable seating. The service was very good. Saw a few business people in there chatting. Located downtown.
Had the prime rib, mashed potatoes and small salad. Service was very good and attentive. Meat was average to less, fatty. Potatoes were fine. Salad average. Bread pudding was tasty.
Three bucks will get you one egg, one side, and a pancake so big it comes on its own plate! Where else in town will you get a deal like that? Enjoy 1960s music while you dine. The atmosphere is very fresh & clean- not worn out and run down like some places in Suffolk. And the service is always...
Okay, so they might be the only breakfast in town, but that hasn't stopped them from being fantastic! Their food comes in large portions, reasonably priced, prepared in country style. Their menu has great classic American choices like country fried steak, biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, scrapple, and hash. Not content to stop there they added newer twists like...
Fried pickles and bottled wine was good. Jalepeno poppers bacon was raw!! Tuna over cooked when asked for medium rare, pasta.. All pasta.. My husband 2 friends got pasta, so bland. Burger had no flavor.. Decor is confused on what kind of restaurant it is.. None of the 6 of us will ever come back
So far I've only visited once for a friend's birthday dinner. Located on a main road in Suffolk's downtown, I felt the restaurant has a bit of an identity...
Crab-acado omelet and hashbrown casserole. So much crab. So good. So rich.
This restaurant is located in downtown Suffolk and has artwork displayed all over the place with the option to purchase. We came here for dinner and it was busy but the service was slow. The food was fabulous though with big portions! I recommend the fried catfish! Best that I have ever tasted! Their batter is unique and the fish still just melts in your mouth.
It's elevated southern cookin, and it's great. The bread pudding is seasonal, but shouldn't be. I'd get it all the time; Isn't that enough? I also kinda...
I've eaten here several times with friends and family, and though this wouldn't be on my "favorite's" list per se, it has a lot to offer! The menu options...
We went there for breakfast on Friday November 7th about 9:30. You could not ask for a better breakfast place. The service was outstanding. It was like we had our own private server. The food scrumptious and REASONABLE. I would go back anytime I am in the area.
They serve lunches and dinners too.
Because I live in Suffolk, I have been to the Plaid Turnip many times. More often than not, it has been for breakfast. Generally speaking, the food has been pretty good. Where they consistently fail is on service. The service is particularly bad at breakfast and yesterday it hit a new low. Service is always slow and the wait staff...
2 star
They have a wide variety of things to chose from on the menu and I think that breakfast/brunch is really very good as I love eggs benedict and they have several different types. The same holds true a lunch with a range of nice choices. Cupcakes are yum!
April and I had lunch here Saturday. Amazing food at a wonderful price. If you are in Suffolk stop in and check it out. I had the Philly cheese steak French bread sandwich off the chain!!!!!
We stopped in for dinner and our service was great! We had a very friendly and attentive waitress. 2 in our party ordered pasta primavera with seafood and were not disappointed. They took home as much as they were able to eat. I had blackened flounder with steamed broccoli and a salad. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
My first inclination was to give two stars. Their breakfast food is good, but it took just over 40 minutes to get. We overheard, but were never told there was only one person in the kitchen. The music is way too loud for first thing in the morning. Have gone several times and it is pretty much always the same. Not sure I will go back for breakfast again. It's a stressful way to start the day.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Never have we have ever experienced anything like we experienced today at Plaid Turnip. Yes, they were busy. But everything that happened was completely unacceptable. When we were first seated we were informed our drink order couldn't be fulfilled because they were low on cups. Fine. We all placed orders and were informed that the following items were out of stock: crab, gravy,...
Suffolk is the kind of place that never bothered with good customer service and 40 years after leaving my hometown, this relatively new and trendy spot proves that 1) you CAN go home, again; and 2) some things never change. While the food was pretty good (sausage biscuits and gravy, grits), the sweet tea - a Southern staple - was...
My wife and I visited Norfolk and made a special stop in Suffolk on the way home to Rocky Mount, NC just to try The Plaid Turnip! We were NOT disappointed! It is nicely located downtown on Main St and the atmosphere was great! The food was amazing! Everything was fresh and delicious! People are not exaggerating when they say the portions are huge! I highly recommend this place!
Located in the main street of town where parking is at a premiun, so drove around the block a couple of times until I found a parking space. I was there past the peak of lunch time when the clients where beginning to leave. There is a menu lunch with an assortment of sandwiches as well as a regular menu....
A nice restaurant. Cute and quirky feel. Great service. If you are going for breakfast, you better enjoy eggs- 90% of the breakfasts contain eggs. I don't care for eggs, and the staff was very helpful in altering a breakfast selection to be egg free!
Shrimp & grits. 10/10
Breakfast for $3- you can hardly beat that! I ate here with my daughter and we ended up taking home leftovers too! The pancake is HUGE (takes up the whole plate). Parking isn't a problem in the morning. This was a great treat!
The plaid turnip is a very good dining option. The food is delicious, the portions are large, the staff is pleasant, and the atmosphere is quaint. With the large portions you may just as well ask for a to go box immediately so you can save room for the outstanding cupcakes or brownies after dinner. Extremely good value for the...
There is only reason I did not give this restaurant a 5 star rating and that was due to our waiter not being the friendliest chap. He was efficient & attentive. The food was outstanding! Far exceeding our expectations! The ribs were tender and succulent! The pork tenderloin was fork tender! Jalapeno poppers were stunningly delicious! The Hummus was divine!...
This place is great! The service is really attentive. We frequently eat breakfast here. The "crabacado" omelette is amazing! We always have leftovers. The macaroni and cheese balls, are delightful, and fun! We have never been disappointed, and love everything about it! The atmosphere and local art on the walls, make this restaurant very charming!
Been coming for breakfast almost every Sunday morning for over a year and always sit in a booth. This morning two booths available and told they didn't have one because hostess has no idea what she is doing. Going to miss you Whitney maybe see you around have to find somewhere that appreciates loyalty and recognizes repeat customers
Stopped by this place for breakfast after reading some decent reviews. They were not kidding when they talked of the generous portions. Hands down everything we had was amazing. I got the master piece breakfast and the hash browns were perfect. I highly recommend getting a biscuit as well. Worth the stop and not expensive at all. Staff was super...
2 star
I have eaten at the Plaid Turnip several times and I've always been pleased. One Sunday I ordered a Fried Oyster basket and was totally surprised at the excellent taste, texture and quality of the oysters...what one might expect at a Fresh Seafood restaurant. The breakfasts are huge and tasty. The omelet's are generously stuffed and the hash brown casserole...
Great Eatery. I have only been here for breakfast and it has never been disappointing. The portions are large and the food has always been tasty. I truly believe that their home made sausage (patties) is some of the most flavorful that I have ever had. Highly Recommend going for breakfast.
First time, food was excellent, service was great, I would definitely go back.
Had low expectations based on location but was clearly wrong. Decor was fun and there were plenty of diners on a Saturday night. Salads were good. Many selections at different price points. Children's menu nice. Crab cakes were not A class but a clear B and reasonable size. On street parking. Bit pricey but portions were good sized.
The best place in Hampton Roads for breakfast by far. Locals favorite.
They make the best omelets I have ever had. They have about 15 different omelets and you can even make changes to each of them to get them exactly like you want them. They come with huge great tasting biscuits or toast. They put very generous portions of...
This place is a great deal. Really good food, nice atmosphere, good portions and so inexpensive. Two of us ate lunch, were full, good sandwiches, fries, salad, drinks, and it was less than $20. Awesome.
Just left after wasting an hour going there for breakfast. Sat within view of the kitchen. Watched our country fried steak sit there for over twenty minutes (including getting knocked off the plate onto the counter, and put back on the plate), and pancakes sit out for over ten. We were then informed that our food would be out soon, but they were out of gravy for the steak. We just got up and...
Always a pleasure to dine at, Plaid Turnip has a varied menu served by attentive servers. Every day there are different, delicious cupcakes for desert. Never has a bad meal here!
Best Restaurant in Hampton Roads BY FAR!!
This restaurant has excellent meals. My wife always thought a restaurant at the Lynnhaven fishing pier had the best sea food. That was until she had the scallops at the Plaid Turnip. We have never had a bad meal. Five stars for sure!
Excellent food & service
Had the chocolate chip brownie with whip cream and chocolate syrup (on a warm plate) today and all I can say is OMG it was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. It's what's for lunch!!!!! Love The Plaid Turnip.
Excellent!!!!!!!
a fun place to go, always busy but a very cheerful staff. The only place up here I have ever found an almost authentic Cuban sandwich. The bread pudding is incredible.
Great service, good food, I enjoyed looking at the local art & photos, nice atmosphere, will try this place again if in the area
We saw that the Plaid Turnip was part of the Suffolk Restaurant Week. We saw some of the negative reviews, but decided to go anyway, and we were glad we did. Located in the heart of downtown Suffolk, the Plaid Turnip has a nice atmosphere. We like the local art on the walls. Since it was restaurant week, we got...
Everything tasted fresh and homemade... Loved it!!!
First time going today, and I will be returning very soon. Love the atmosphere and menu.
Went for the first time on Saturday night. I had the pistachio encrusted pork medallions with greens and a sweet potato and my husband had the Mahi Mahi special with a salad. Great meal, great service (thanks Jeremy) and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
I can't decide if the good outweighs the bad. Tonights service was awful, but most of the time it is alright.
they need to step up their game. Chicken Livers with Gravy and Onions was average. The Caesar Salad and Calamari with the calamari tasting like frying oil was not up to our expectation. The best dish was the appetizer Oysters Rockefeller which was excellent. We were there on a dreary Monday evening and the atmosphere inside the restaurant matched. This...
The only good thing was the service...kind of. We went directly to the bar and the bar tenderer acted as if we were bothering him. We asked the waitress if the ribs were a full rack or half rack, she told us full and brought a half. I had a salad as a side and it came complete with the...
The fried clams were the best I have ever had! They were not over cooked and as a result not chewy!
Also try the fried macaroni and cheese! Great stuff!
We went here for lunch during restaurant week to try it out. We previously had ribs and BBQ during a street fair which were really good so we decided to try it out for lunch. We had a thanksgiving panini which was very good. Their desserts were also very good. Big portions
The BEST Monte Cristo sandwich I have had since Bennigan's went out of business! NO LIE. I should've taken a photo, but I was too busy stuffing my face. They also have a delicious Caesar side salad, (although it was big enough to be eaten as a standalone meal). The service was good & the prices were right! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I have to work in Suffolk!
The food and service were both good.
Excellent!!!!
Service was VERY GOOD.
Food was generously portioned and VERY GOOD.
3 ate for $75 and worth every penny.
Highly recommended.
All ages welcomed.
A gem indeed! Friendly service every time I have been there and delicious home cooking with an urban touch. Really enjoyed my seafood quiche and ceasar salad. Last time I ate every last bite of the pressed eggplant parmigiana sandwich. Looking forward to my next visit.
I have been a fan of this chef back when he owned Art's Kitchen- a breakfast and lunch diner in downtown Suffolk. His breakfasts include real home fries , omelets big enough to share and my favorite - French Toast! Whatever you order, you will have enough for the next meal. We have enjoyed every breakfast, lunch and dinner so...
We were traveling between Elizabeth City and Farmville and were looking for a place for lunch. The food choices were good, the prices decent and our waitress was nice. This place is nothing to rave about yet it was a good find and I'd return again if in the area. It's easy access to Hwy. 460 and is located in...
My husband and I have found a gem! We have been going here for over a year and when we are trying to figure out where to go we look at each other and say together..."THE PL:AID"! This by far is the best all around place to eat a great meal and relax! The owner Ed is right in the...
The crab parmesan dip is so delicious that we plan to go back and have this plentiful appetizer for a snack. The service is great and we also enjoy the paintings from local artists on the walls.
This small town restaurant is a favorite of members of my Church. I found the service good and the food was very good. My boss got the barbecue but it was tomato based and not the North Carolina style he was looking for. Another individual purchased the oyster po-boy and was pleased. Another purchased a salad and she was very...
The first time I went to the Plaid Turnip, about a year ago, my husband and I were under impressed by the food, atmosphere and service. We thought we would give it one more try, and we're glad we did. Our server, Amy was a welcome sight as we knew her from the now closed Plaid Turnip. She was attentive...
Absolutely loved the fried green tomatoes!
My husband and I ate here 3 times during our stay in Suffolk, and the food was very good all 3 times. This restaurant has a mixture of food including southern style entrees as well as a variety including salads, sandwiches, and much more. The salads were very fresh! The waitress was friendly and attentive! They have great iced tea,...
The place is a bit quirky. Breakfast omelets were OK but greasy. No option for egg substitute.
Service was friendly and prompt.
Tasty. The redeeming quality of this place is the food. My soup, burger, and my son's mac 'n cheese were very good and exceeded my expectations. My burger was big, juicy, and cooked a perfect medium. Almost all of the food was made from scratch, including the kids mac 'n cheese, it was very creamy and cheesy. My service, however, was polite but amateurish and the food came out very slow,...
This is an odd place it does not quite seem to know what it wants to be. It is a bit cavernous and echoey and you eat at tables that are more like a cafeteria so I am not sure if its a café, a diner, or a restaurant. Yhe service was friendly and prompt the soup was good the...
We ordered the seafood platter and it was awful. Everything was too salty! The only way to eat the fried shrimp was to scrape the batter off. We left most of the food on the plate and refused a to go box.
I have eaten here twice both times ordered the seafood platter and both times disappointed. The first time food was undercooked and the second time last night my husband and I had to send undercooked fish back. I will not eat here any more not only is the seafood undercooked it actually has no flavor.
We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times and always have found the food to be fantastic. The atmosphere is very homey with a large dining area which has local artist work on the walls. They have an onsite bakery which makes great desserts. My only complaints are: no street parking close by and generally slow service. The...
My family has eaten at the Plaid Turnip many times. It is one of our favorite local restaurants! The staff, food, portions and prices are terrific. The menu offers a wide variety of selections, too. The Plaid Turnip has a wonderful family atmosphere and a quaint feeling. Very charming and relaxing.
I love the many ways you can customize your giant burger at Plaid Turnip. The service is okay - they are generally polite but not enthusiastic about their jobs. Sunday brunch was disappointing. It is now the only place in downtown Suffolk offering brunch. It was busy but not mobbed, yet it took about 40 minutes to get our food...
I see some mixed reviews but must add to the positive ones! Purchased a 25 dollar gift certificate for 4 bucks from my company's perks website- read the terms and agreed to them. Basically got 21 bucks off my bill. Heard about this restaurant from some friends and figures for 4 bucks I would get the certificate & try them out. Went for a pre hurricane birthday meal for my husband- enjoyed our...
I loved their breakfast food! smile emoticon
The plaid turnip had wonderful food and fair pricing, but when it came to service... Let's just say this was one of the worst restaurants for service I have ever been to. It took the waitress over 20 mins just to come and take our order, we were checked on a total of one time, and it took nearly 2 hours to get any food. They claimed the kitchen staff was backed up, but there were only 4 other...
Great American fare. I had the homemade vegetable swiss mushroom burger...excellent. The shrimp are hand dreaded and huge. There are also wonderful cupcakes to order.
Suffolk doesn't have too much to choose from when it comes to the restaurants wars, but definitely think that The Plaid Turnip rates tops on the list of restaurants in Suffolk. Friendly staff: yes…
I have probably eaten here over twenty times. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every meal has been delicious.Breakfast: The omelets are huge and the chipped beef was fantastic. The sausage…
Service is always great! The food is very creative and tasty. Prices are very reasonable as well. The decor is pretty cool, art on the walls from local artists.
Liked the cool decor, service, draft beer and large glasses of wine. Big salads and a great fried green tomato appetizer. The pork bbq platter was a little bland and the steak on the steak salad was…
