Established 1998

Santos Alvarez has been the proud owner of Cold Harbor Restaurant since 1998. With a deep love for her community and a passion for creating a welcoming space, Santos has poured her heart into running the restaurant to bring comfort and connection to the people who walk through its doors. What began as a dream has grown into a local favorite — a place where families gather, regulars feel at home, and new faces are always welcomed with a smile. Her dedication over the years has made Cold Harbor more than just a restaurant — it’s a reflection of the care and tradition she brings to everything she does.

Testimonials

Proudly rated 4.4 out of 5 stars on Google by our amazing customers.

We found this place on accident and it was the best accident ever. I now go here on my days off, I don’t like breakfast but I always want breakfast here. The staff are always so nice, the food is amazing, the portions are great. I 120% recommend trying the food here. The fried apples, home fries, and sausage gravy are always a must!

The breakfast hit our mark this morning. The waitress was helpful, friendly, and attentive. I was looking for a southern breakfast while visiting VA and it was dead on. Best biscuits I have ever had.
