8 Best American Restaurants near Piney Point

“We came to the Ruddy Duck while in town visiting family so we could have a belated anniversary date.. We had a most incredible experience...our server David was attentive and pleasant without being over bearing...his menu recommendations were on point! The crab dip is stellar...my husband and I got what was on special...he got the crab cake burger with duck fat fries and I got the steak frites...everything was cooked perfectly! The duck fat fries beat out the well known ones from our current home town, and the steak was melt in your mouth...the mushroom peppercorn sauce was to DIE for... I was so thrilled that Chef agreed to sell me a small container of just the sauce to take home. My husband is going to regret that he brought me, because now we are going to have to go back every time we come back to visit family...10 stars out of 5! ❤️“

“1.5 HOUR DINING LIMIT!!!! Chief's will always be one of our favorites! The food is terrific 100% of the time, year after year. The staff work really hard to make us feel welcome and attend to all food/beverage needs. My one criticism (and everyone I've spoken to feels the same) is the 1.5 hour limit for dining. We don't go out for a leisurely dinner often, so when we do, we like to order appetizers, main courses, desserts and plenty of drinks. When you find yourselves a minute into dessert and a fresh round of drinks, and it's time to pay the $250-$300 check and leave b/c the 1.5 hour limit is up, it's a total bummer! This time, we actually had to pick up our desserts & drinks and find room [for only some of our party] at the bar, so we could finish. If you are going to have a time limit, put a timer on the table. At least that way, when your time is almost up, you can forget about ordering the desserts and last round of drinks. It was too embarrassing to rush to carry the rest of our meal to the bar, just so we could finish what we paid for.“

“Great Views for our dinner tonight. Service staff was quick and very friendly. Menu tweaks are on point! Would definitely reccomend!“

“Quinn provided excellent service! Both the food and the cocktails were superb! Such a great experience!“

“The hostess (Barbara) was excellent
She was willing to seat us wherever we wanted, was friendly, and answered amy questions we had. Our server (Joey ..I think) was wonderful. It was the best crab we have we have ever had, and the views were amazing. We aren't from Virginia, but we will be back.“

“A true gem that will satisfy all your needs...fast service from a good team, generous pours, great big burgers and pizza that could stand on its own as a pizza joint! Even had a great Filipino app we loved. Weekends we have enjoyed good bands and not so loud you can't talk as well. Just a fun spot to watch your games and not break the bank! Our goto spot now that the new owner apparently turned it around!“

“Late review. I have been to this restaurant several times but most recent was on Friday, 2/13/26. I can not remember the name of our waitress but she had red glasses on and was FANTASTIC. She was attentive and respectful. The food on this day was just incredible - major kudos to the chef. I ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls, poutine, and turkey club. I can not wait to come back to get these same menu items. Additionally, this place is very CLEAN!!! We are lucky to have this amazing restaurant so close to us!“

“The food gets an A. The service and the atmosphere get a 20 on the 10 scale. If we were local this would be our new Sunday morning spot. The homestylecooking, friendly amazing service, like everyone is family when you walk in. Perfect perfect perfect. Thank you so much to making the last stop of our weekend trip such a memorable one!“
