To-Do-Cafe

Very clean and friendly staff. Gave it a truly southern feel. Our waitress Taylor was very attentive and got our food out quickly. Even the customers were very friendly and wished us a blessed day. My son loves nearby and it's his favorite for lunch and dinner i would recommend you check it out.

The service was great. The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is quaint and casual. The fried shrimp basket was great. Hush puppies are delicious and flavorful. The butter beans could have used a bit more flavor but they weren't bad. I am looking forward to trying other menu items!

Had another awesome lunch at the To Do Cafe and met the owner. What a sweet and friendly lady. We enjoyed meeting her and chatting with her. To Do Cafe is a gem.

It was my first time eating at this restaurant. I was a little skeptical on entry. The inside could use a sprucing up
It was, however, charming. The wait staff was a couple of young adults who were well very friendly and courteous. I took a gamble and ordered the catfish basket . I am very picky about my fish. It was delicious! It was seasoned and battered to perfection. The hush puppies were tasty but a little dry and on the smaller side. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. I will definitely be going back. If you are in the Northern Neck, you need to stop by. I forgot to mention that the owner was sweet enough to come to our table and check on us.

Before I ordered their grilled crab cake sandwich I asked the waitress if their crab cakes were good. Her reply was that they don't use fillers and that they were excellent. Well let me say she was right. I also want to point out that their chips are made on the premises and these were outstanding.

Will definitely be back here! Food was like my grandma cooked it, delicious and seasoned with love. They got us in quick (no wait) on a Saturday and the staff was so sweet and friendly. Definitely gives family friendly vibes and has that local atmosphere which makes it feel so special.

On a recent trip to Virginia for the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association 50th Anniversary Rally and to visit relatives on the Northern Neck, I planned my trip to specifically visit the To-Do for lunch. I ordered a plate of grilled oysters, grilled flounder, crab cakes and butter beans—all delicious. If you love seafood and homemade cooking, the To-Do Cafe near the Rappahannock River is the place to go. Comfortable atmosphere and lovely staff. Just wish I didn't live three thousand miles away.

Charming local eatery. Great service, food was delicious. Owner stopped at every table to make sure things were good. A but pricey, but overall a good experience.

What a great small town cafe! Variety of lunch & dinner menu items, including a child's menu. Prices are reasonable and very clean cafe is farmhouse themed. Energetic staff was very friendly and service was good. The fried oysters and the smokehouse burger we ordered were served within 10 minutes and quite good.

The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but is packed with great food and service inside. We will be back!

The catfish was cooked to perfection. A small menu that included your normal diner items with the inclusion of some seafood selections.

Always a good time when I come to this restaurant! The wait staff was awesome! Dorothy was awesome as well. She made sure my order was correct and that I had all of the condiments I asked for. The food is absolutely delicious. The crab cakes are everything! If you haven't had the crab soup it's a must have! Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping by to get some more delicious food with a smile.

Service from Grace was outstanding. Food was fresh and delicious. This is definitely not frozen chain food. I love the cocktail sauce they have at the tables. Try the crab cakes.

Stopped here on the way from Virginia Beach back to Maryland. Google maps took us off of 95 to 17 to avoid an accident and although I got a ticket by one of the many speed trap cops on 17 my mood was instantly uplifted after walking in. It felt more like I was going to a friend's house than a restaurant. From the screen door to the super friendly staff. We kept it simples with burgers but they were by far the best burgers we've had in a long long time outside of home. If you happen in 17 DEFINITELY stop in hand grab a bite and you'll be glad to you did!

Well the phone rang and it was Bad Dog, he grunted What ya doing, and I said nothing and he said Saddle up we are going to the To Do Cafe in Tappahanock and eat some oysters, so I kicked up the kick down stand and hit the start button and away we went.
It was a nice ride over there and we pulled up and stretched a bit before we went inside. We were promptly seated and menus were brought to the table along with a cold glass of water and a friendly smile from our server.
I ordered a cup of Crab bisque and a side of oysters 😋, the bisque was just the right temp and the oysters were crisp and hot, just the way I like them .
I got to say this was a really good idea and I plan to go back again and try that Catfish dinner that was on the menu.

Had a wonderful and very filling seafood dinner. Fried oysters, soft shell crab, asparagus and a chopped salad. The hubby had fried shrimp, oysters, crab cake, butter beans and a salad. The service was excellent and no masks!! So happy to see smiling faces again. 😀

Outstanding fried flounder and oysters and hushpuppies. Batter was light and crispy and absolutely delicious. Wonderful service, owner came up to every table, makes you feel like family. We'll be back! [View is from dock near restaurant, at end of road]

Food was fresh and delicious. Gotta get dessert (even if it’s to go). Crab quesadillas are FULLL of crab meat. Flounder po boy was huge! The staff makes you feel like you just walked into a friends home. We will be back!!!

Take-Out. I ordered the chicken sandwich & hush puppies. Cooked to perfection & quite tasty. Staff are very friendly, even when they are busy. This place never disappoints.

Absolutely love this place. Nice small town dinner feel with amazing food. Everyone is super friendly as well. Try the shrimp po-boy, it was delicious. Great for family meals.

28 May 2022 update: what a great place to eat! First time here in two years, and still as good as it was in my first visit. Everything, and I mean everything, was awesome! Whitney is a Gem, and one of the kindest and genuinely people I’ve ever had the pleasure to speak with!

My wife and I had lunch here today… It was fantastic! My wife had a crabcake and I had a deluxe crabcake meal with shrimp and crab bisque smothered all over it… Really good! Our server was prompt, funny, and helped to ensure that we had a really good time when we were there. We are definitely returning!
