I have not lived near Chesapeake, Va. for a long time, my wife (Julie) and I live in South Carolina and went to Maryland to visit one of our children and grandchildren, on the way home I told Julie I wanted to go to where I lived when I was 13, I am now 70. When we came to the corner of Sparrow Road and Indian River Road I could not believe Irwin's Fountain was still there. I shared one of my favorite memories with Julie which was I would get off the school bus before it got to my stop, go in Irwin's Fountain and get a limeade made with real limes and a pack of Hostess Twinkies that I paid for with my newspaper route money, the lady behind the counter was always so nice to me. I went down Sparrow Road and saw the house we lived in then went to the cathole pond and told Julie another story about one winter it froze over and some girls were walking on the ice when the ice broke and one of them fell into the water and could not get out so I found a long stick and pulled her out, her grandmother put the story in the newspaper. I had never told Julie either of those stories. When driving back down Sparrow Road I had to stop at Irwin's Fountain, I sat at the counter in the same spot I sat at in 1967, it was breakfast time so we ate and the food was very good. I did not want to leave, I wanted to be 13 again, it brought back such great memories. Thank You Irwin's Fountain. Sincerely, Wayne Fountain

A spot in town everyone should know. It's not going to amaze you. The food is simple yet delicious (fair-priced), and for what this place aims to be, it hits the mark. What really makes this place, though, are the warm people there.

It was truly unforgettable, my husband and I's first visit was made special by the outstanding customer service! They welcomed us with open arms like family! And their fish and chips were a revelation, the best fish I've tasted in ages. My husband raved about the Philly, we attempted to finish the plates, and the value for money was exceptional given the generous servings!
Love this spot! If you are craving a good home style cooked breakfast, this is it! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. the limeades are also to die for!!!
