.........to go back again. Everything that has been written by other reviewers is true. The owners, waitresses, customers treat you just like family. The food was delicious and we were welcomed like we had been here many times. This was our first time and definitely will not be our last. This is how all restaurants should be. Thanks for a... More

Must admit I was a little nervous about eating here at first...but that nervousness disappeared with the great customer attention the staff paid us! The seafood is fresh and cooked deliciously! Try the special made house blend hot sauce! I think is called Eric's sauce made fresh by the cook...yum! They should consider bottling it for tourists ;)...overall: I LOVED... More

From the handwritten specials on the big blackboard, to the old time cooler case with the pies on a rack and bottles of white wine laying on their side, the special blackboard of burgers that probably number at least 10 different variations, this is the classic place every tourist looks for. This is classic casual dining that kicks butt. The... More

We travel from MD to Williamsburg, VA every year and Tappahannock is usually a good place to stop for lunch. We've eaten at at several places in the Tappahannock area in the past and checked TripAdvisor to read reviews before stopping this time. After reading the excellent reviews of the To Do Cafe, which was new to us, we decided... More

I really like this place a lot. I've stopped here several times when I've had a craving for seafood while traveling along US17. They have a great selection of inexpensive fresh seafood baskets (shrimp, clams, oysters, scallops, and four or five types of fish) that include fries and hush puppies. I'm partial to the clam strip basket, but the fried... More

Visited the restaurant based on previous reviews I read on Tripadvisor. My husband and I loved both the atmosphere and food. I ordered the all-you-can shrimp and clam strips special and my husband ordered a salad and buffalo wings. We both loved our food - everything was fresh and was served in a timely manner. Atmosphere was very homey with... More

If your travels take you anywhere near Tappahannock, VA and a casual meal is on the agenda, this is the place to stop at. My wife and I had lunch there. Chicken salad for her; clam strips and a Yuengling for me. Everything was top rate. Great menu; great prices; great staff (owner included). TYou won't be disappointed. More

Our family drives 2 hours at least once or twice a year to eat here. The food is awesome. The people who run it and work there are great! Very accommodating. Love Bob's Alaskan Crab Legs and the Cucumber Salad is great. Diane is the best and Sandy will wait on you with a smile while Eric helps to make... More
