Came for date night and opted to sit out in the tented patio. They had heaters, but it was pretty drafty. Staffer that took our order and brought our food was very friendly. It just happened to be lent and so they were doing fish and chips and we decided to go with it.
They are know for their fries and they were awesome. Imagine Five Guys fries, but more crispy and seasoned. The fish was pretty solid as well. Not usually a fish and chips guy, but liked these. They were over an inch thick and really filled us up. The smoky ketchup they served with the meal was possible the best part.
The patio isn't anything special. The inside can be cramped, but I don't think they get too busy for that. They have beer, can only, and cocktails as well with a little deli section.
Parking is a bit of a mess. There are a couple spots out front. We ended up in the mechanic lot next door. Otherwise it's all on-street, which is Hampton.
Because of Covid I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time and we finally go to go.
It was worth the wait and a very unique experience for sure from the friendly staff as we entered the plain looking store front. If it weren't for the food truck out front, almost blocking the entrance, you could just miss this place. We sat on their patio out back
We ordered the Cherry smoked deep fried crispy chicken wings and the hero sandwich. Both unique with flavors I've not experienced. Their menu changes so we'll have plenty to look forward to as we are definitely going back.
This place has it all. Creative menu my favorite was probably the fried ribs. Get them before too long!

Edible and Essentials - a new review for this restaurant. They are working through the covid 19 situation. Matt, the owner is taking every step to make it safe for you. We had ordered their homemade chicken salad and a cannoli . Very refreshing after a hot day of working, cleaning and painting. No one felt like cooking. Check the website for new hours. We love our neighborhood and the restaurants that have setup business here. Keep on supporting them by visiting often.

A day to celebrate . We treated ourselves to the Risotto with asparagus and additional shrimp. Delicious meal big enough to split with your partner. My clover points scored us a free dessert. We chose the wild berry creme brulee with dark chocolate sugar cookie. The crust of the brulee was good but the creme was soupy not custard like it should be. We missed last week's biscotti with lemon and thyme creme brulee. Just 4 stars for this trip.
If you want to enjoy a delicious brunch, do yourself a favor and hit up Edibles & Essentials. I got the bacon sandwich with havarti, my husband went with the ham sandwich with brie and we got the gravy and biscuits to split. The bacon was thickcut and perfectly cooked, their breakfast potatoes were perfectly fried with a golden, crisp outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with coarse salt. Not pictured: the mixed berry custard tart we split even though we were full... so worth it. This was our first time visiting Edibles & Essentials, but it certainly won't be our last. I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as amazing. Matt, the owner, is also very nice and knowledgeable; little details like that goes a long way and makes me more eager to give an establishment my business.
This place has a great atmosphere! You can buy beer for the go or relax there and order some food. It's a win-win. I love their patio!! I had to order some of their fries and it was delicious! Our server also had amazing customer service.
The food is always amazing and all made from local products. Best biscuits and gravy ever. Best breakfast food really.
Edit: still really amazing food and desserts, really great atmosphere and patio. No more brunch though. :-(
Such a cool place! The brunch was fantastic and the service was excellent. The patio is super cute!
Fried ribs and banh mi tacos are life changing.

Love this place. Matt and his staff are wonderful. The food is so good. Never had an item I didn't like. Lots of good wines to choose from and interesting cocktails. Tiny place.
