I just wanted to start off by saying I would not recommend going to enjoy dinner here. The grits was hard and the sauce was so greasy. Our appetizer took 40 mins to arrive at our table and it was greasy. Even though the food was not worth what we paid our waitress was amazing. She mentioned she was new and was by far the best we've had in awhile.

Visiting family from Virginia Beach this week. We decided to stop here for dinner. At 5pm, waited 20 minutes to order pizza, which is all they were serving at the time. After waiting a 1/2 hour, we asked the host how much longer the wait is, she said it should be right out. We watched several people come in, get seated & served. Long store short, at 7:25pm we were still not served. My brother in law asked for the check to pay for drinks & the bartender asked "Do you still want the pizza?" He replied "No, we e been here 2 1/2 hours & never got our food" As the place got packed with people, everyone else was eating & we decided to leave & go to the restaurant across the street, which was fabulous! The service & food was absolutely amazing!!

We brought our family to enjoy this beautiful restaurant but came away disappointed. Cocktails were great,food was just so-so. The menu was very limited to begin with, and then they were out of items. Service was extremely slow because of the lack of staff. They tried their best. Sadly, it was past the point of patience. They are not the only restaurant experiencing this problem. We would try it again

The burger was over cooked, dry and burnt. I asked the server about it and she just smiled and walked away. $20.00 for potato chips and the worst burger I ever had in my life and I am 58.

AMAZING pizza! Fresh oysters and shrimp were too. Definitely will return. Cute rustic feel to the place.

Clean, local restaurant with ample seating, bar area with TV’s and too many ceiling fans (cold inside, asked them to turn off the fans, they did then it was much more comfortable). Prompt attention and service by Marco with a Mohawk (he called himself). Open 5p on Wednesday thru Saturday. Menu consisted of appetizers and entrees mostly, variety of drink items. Free street parking, walking distance to water/marina. Would recommend.

So much for saying steakhouse outside. It was the worst steak I have ever had. My filet was under cooked then burned and served with cold mashed potatoes. It was inedible. The staff was careless and gave an attitude when we asked where the sour cream, guacamole, and jalapeños where for our nachos when it clearly states it comes on the pulled pork nachos on the menu. The menu is lacking options that are desirable. The shrimp and grits were terrible, no grits all cheese and not good cheese. The best thing I had here was the beer that came in a can!!! The manager was made aware of the situation and only said ok and said nothing but did take the burnt steak off the check. The waitress came back and put the check on the table with no apologies. Will never return!

If I could give a negative review, I would. For somewhere that's open for ONLY three hours, you would think the staff would be nicer. Waitress had the worst attitude. The food is overpriced garbage. Seriously disgusting food. Had the shrimp and grits. No grits to be seen, tasted like shrimp with Kraft cheese sauce. Manager looked like a 12 year old girl who had a awful attitude as well. Medium rare steak was raw at first and then when sent back, they burned the outside like they went it to hell and back. Do not recommend at all.

The food was not edible. The service was sub par. They are only open 3 hours per day. Unfortunately, it was one of two restaurants open on Wednesday night.
We'd been to Jack's several times before the pandemic, with some positive experiences. Now open, the restaurant is a disappointment. Walking into the restaurant, we were puzzled by the lack of chairs in the main room, and the feeling that they weren't fully operational on a Saturday evening. The service was very slow, unprofessional, and odd, as we didn't get napkins, silverware, water refills, or a friendly greeting. The menu was quite limited, though pizza to go seemed to keep the place moving. Our friends ordered the shrimp and grits, which was a large amount and tasted delicious, though their orders came after a wait. Then we sat and watched them eat until our pork orders finally arrived ten minutes later. The pork dinner was just OK, but the pork sliders were overly seasoned and over cooked. Our impression was that the staff was poorly trained and uninterested in serving us. To add insult to injury, the server used her ipad for the bill, and the tip options started at 18%! 10% would have been more like it. We won't go back, even for the pizza.

Up front - the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is lack of staff like everywhere these days! My shrimp and grits was as good as if not better than Paula Deans at Mother and Sons. My husband's pulled pork was also delicious. The ambiance here is wonderful.

First time visiting this business and boy did it disappoint. Had to ask to be served and when I asked for a menu told to scan the QR code. Tried to order a burger but no luck and did I mention how cold it was inside. One Bud Light for $5.00 seems pricey to me. Just save yourself the trouble and don’t go.

Great service! Food is good too. Wings are served cold and pizza takes a while. I just wish they would stay open later, but I understand why they close at 9 in Belhaven...lol

We were only in Belhaven for a few nights and wanted to go here. Disappointed full restaurant wasn't open but got pizza and oysters in back bar. Pizza was awesome! Oysters were good too. Service was friendly and personable. Owner said they can't find a chef to run kitchen.
