“ Loved the atmosphere, friendliness of the staff, and quality of the food. We had a group of five kids and three adults, the youngest with a disability, and one person for whom English wasn't their first language. Things could have been lost in translation but the patience and Southern hospitality of the staff really shined through. The food was perfectly prepared, and we appreciated the little details, like the eggs being perfectly done and serving fries for breakfast. There's a sign outside stating that they have the best coffee in Stafford. They no lie. It be good. We may make this a traditional stop on our way South. Thank you for the pleasant and memorable five star service! ”

“ Overall amazing place! Uncle Richard's breakfast on the menu is a MUST try! The staff was great and very polite. Before you go to cracker barrel again, swing in and try this hidden gem! ”

“ We were traveling from New York to the Marine Corps Museum, stopped for breakfast. It’s a small cozy family owned restaurant. Service was excellent, very friendly! Food was served quickly, hot and delicious! Best breakfast I have had in a long time at a restaurant! Highly recommend! ”

“ This is one the best breakfast outside of my own that I’ve had in a long time. From the service to the food was absolutely amazing. Chris and his family has a hidden gem in Stafford. If you live in this area or visiting this is a MUST stop in and try. I promise you won’t be disappointed. ”

“ This place is amazing, family owned and good service. Is the best pancakes that I’ve ate so far. I don’t post frequently but this place deserves it. ”

“ This cozy place is comforting and homey. The coffee IS the best in Stafford and I've enjoyed their pancakes, BLT, and salads. Their hospitality is down-home pleasant and more friendlier than most I've been too. It's quiet and the owner, Chris, welcomed us in with open arms and made us feel like friends, with pleasantries and good humor. Excellent place. ”

“ Widewater Grille is hands down one of the best breakfast places I've had...ever! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is beyond friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about providing top-notch service. In fact, I just ordered a to-go order this morning and spoke to the owner (Chris) directly for 15-20mins. Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! Everything is made from scratch, and you can taste the quality in every bite. I ordered a Western Omelette with a side of bacon and it was next-level delicious. Their breakfast options are amazing—crispy bacon, and eggs cooked just the way you like them. I forgot to mention their coffee (Cuban Coffee) is the right pick me up you need on the way to work or paired with any dish they serve (SOLID 10/10). I’ve seen a couple of negative reviews, and honestly, they don’t add up to my experience at all. It seems like a case of one-off situations because this place is consistently excellent...and if you read them, it seems like the people are just grumpy. If you're in Stafford and looking for a fantastic place to grab breakfast or lunch, Widewater Grille is a must-visit! Support this amazing local spot—you won’t regret it! ”

“ Great food and customer service run by a dad and his 2 young sons. The 10 year old take orders, brings out the food and takes your payment. There is no better learning experience for kids than customer service. We have been here many times and will continue to visit. ”
