Something Different

Attended a luncheon with a group if ladies. I ordered the salmon salad. It was generous, lovely salmon and fresh lettuce. Everyone was pleased with their other various entrees. A fun and happy casual dining experience. I especially appreciated their custom of buying a meal for someone in need and leaving it at checkout for a person to claim later.

Love this place! Their version of a cuban sandwich is unreal. Try-tip sandwich, also excellent. Brisket was a perfect medium/medium rare. Try-tip is well seasoned. My vegetarian daughter LOVES their beyond burger. Collard greens were fantastic. Oh, and the Mac'n cheese.....!!!!!!!! I swear they've got somebody's southern grandmother blessing that kitchen. Always friendly service, and live music on Friday nights make for a great night out.

I don't understand the ratings on this place. The loaded onion rings were fine. My wife's BLTT was ok. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Dry and tasteless. Maybe we caught them on an off day. But there was no excuse for bringing our entrees about 30 seconds after serving our appetizer. Restaurant 101!

You just can't beat this place for brunch, lunch or dinner!....And, the nostalgia of it all.How many restaurants can you go to where almost everything you eat is homemade, even the ice cream!?? Located in the seafood, laid back small town of Urbanna, Va......Something Different does not disappointment and keeps me coming back for more when I come to this town to visit family. The smell of fresh out of the oven, raisin bread, calls your name, to take some extra back to DC. Something Different cooks all their sauces, dips, ice cream, breads and beautiful pies in house. Peanuts are roasted there too. In houses roasted coffee is served in a french press with fresh cream. We came here on a Sunday for brunch. We enjoyed beignets with our fresh coffee for starters and fresh, buttermilk biscuits. I couldn't help but to notice huge BBQ smoke out back and so I definitely knew I was going to order the rib plate. It was outstanding!! I mean everything was delicious, even the cold craft beer!In addition, we tried the "Southern Comfort" Sandwich which comes with tender, mouth-watering brisket and pimento cheese--slathered in BBQ sauce. We also tried the Crab Cakes and Soft Shell crabs with sides of spicy hoe cakes, green beans and mac & cheese, fries and onion rings. ANNNNDDD, if that was not enough food, we tried a plate of smoked wings! Being from the DC/Maryland area, the crab expectation was high. Well, this place...knocked it out of the park. It was all great...Thumbs Up!!Now top it all off with homemade ice cream from the Bakery attached to the restaurant....one word....HEAVEN!! A brunch fit for a king and nap worth for sure.We all left satisfied and.....enjoyed both the food and friendly service. If you are ever in vicinity of Urbanna VA or on a road trip passing through.....Something Different is a must and worth a visit for sure!!

Everything tastes homemade. Delicious BBQ & Giant shrimp were the daily special and did not disappoint!!Rich macaroni and cheese.

Best pulled pork barbecue, excellent bbq chicken. Service is terrific. Can get really busy on weekends so arrive early if you don't want to wait.

Breakfast sandwich of biscuit egg and cheese tasted homemade. Store was a bit cluttered and sloppy looking

Wife and I were in Saluda looking at land and decided to try this restaurant on Saturday after reading a few reviews. Most notably for me was a review on this places Bloody Mary. As a big BM aficionado, I decided to try it myself anyway. Mistake. By far one of the worst I have ever paid for. Watered down tomato juice, a big chunk of celery and a lemon wedge. No flavor, horrible. Please, owners and/or bartenders, figure out a good mix, homemade preferably put some flavor into it and garnish appropriately, olives, shrimp, lime, etc. On to the food. I ordered the muffuletta. It came on be an in house brioche bun, very good, same with the wife's burger. Could have used more olive spread but a 5 out of 10. My wife ordered the bacon cheese burger, she let me have some and it was good, patty tasted fresh and not frozen. Chips with both were not a good choice. So bottom line I never truly judge a place totally on a first visit, so we will give them another chance, but there are numerous other options in the nice little village of Urbanna. Maybe a Weekend Bloody Mary bar for a novelty?? Cheers!

Lunch on a rainy Wednesday and it was a pleasure to go in a friendly place and have good food and good service. My grilled hot dog with apple butter and mustard on a snuggle bun was excellent! Would have not thought of that combination but it works. The crab cake sandwich was very good with tasty fried crab cake with little filler on a fresh roll. The potato salad was good old fashioned potato salad made with egg. The homemade chips were dark, crispy and seasoned well making a good compliment to our sandwiches. The sweet tea was also fresh and very good. The molasses gingerbread with lemon sauce was absolutely delicious! A good place for a good meal in 'downtown' Urbanna!

Food is not the same as before! Everything our party of four had was nasty! Bloody Mary's were not good (flavor was not good and didn't taste any alcohol) crab cakes terrible, no flavor and mushy, so they had to have been frozen! Burger was nothing to write home about, Reuben was saucy and tasted funny & SheCrab soup was nasty disgusting! Staff was nice. They open now at 11 so no breakfast or brunch as of now. You will waste your money at this place for sure.
