“Came here for a glass of wine, oysters, cornbread, and the crab soup. What an absolutely fantastic experience with the view right there on the water and the dock/pier. Service was super fast and friendly, I had a lovely time. I recommend this place to everyone 10 out of 10 five stars.“

“Great food.😋 Great establishment overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The BBQ All the Way is on point! Definitely going back. Great food, good portions, and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“James's knowledge was encyclopedic. It was like having the chef and sommelier at the table.

The food was excellent all around. We had:
- shrimp risotto with olives and calabrian peppers
- bao buns
- fois gras
- halibut croquettes
- cheesecake

The food was a+. No notes. No complaints. Will return when back in the area.“

“The meal was delicious and served at the appropriate temperature. The ambiance of the establishment was inviting, and the staff was courteous and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, particularly the cinnamon swirl pancakes, which were exceptionally delectable. The white cheddar grits were also quite good, and I appreciated the option to create a custom omelet. My husband ordered the French toast and an omelet, both of which he enjoyed. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to sample the mimosas, but based on their appearance, I believe they would have been refreshing.“

“Legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had, the Valkyrie burger definitely gave me a true taste of Valhalla … this Maryland girl will definitely be back for another ?“

“Very friendly and accommodating to our large lunch party. Positive comments from co-workers all-around. Fresh, flavorful food. We definitely were not under fed, a few had food left to box after, but quality is more the focus rather than quantity.“

“Nikita ,at Chesapeake Square store on Portsmouth Blvd ,Chesapeake, Va is a consumate server! We always look forward to her attending to us. She remembers our entire order,without taking notes. Refills without being reminded and always with a sincere smile. Nikita represents Cracker Barrel with distintion. She always stops by to say hi,even when we are being served by another colleague. Oh and food is great!“

“The Chicken and Dumplings were delicious . Was disappointed that there were pieces of bone in it.“

“My husband, son and I enjoyed our supper at Metro this evening. We had an excellent waitress -- answered questions, pleasant exchange about the menu, anticipated time for drink refills and brought our tab without the long wait after finishing. Our only complaint was the loud music -- hard for us to converse since my husband and I are both hearing impaired.“

“No joke I have been coming here every single day for the last 2 weeks right when I get off work, and one thing I can say that is the food is amazing and the young guy at the counter is cool and does great business. I recommend you tell everyone you know about this restaurant.“

“Interesting menu items. The bathroom is a little different. I stop off here infrequently on my way to training or if I have other business in the area. The family has great service skills and are efficient owrking large crowds during lunch.“

“Food was delicious!! Barbecue was so good! Ribs were smoky, brisket tender, pulled pork tangy. It all went together perfectly. The staff and owner Mark are so friendly. Love the atmosphere!“

“Ok hear me out this place is so GOOD, it was my FIRST TIME trying it out , definitely coming back !!! ok the reviews had me scared however, I actually see people going into this place DAILY . I tried for myself and got a chicken sandwich combo and tenders with fries(21$) The guy in front was very nice and polite and the wife was the cook. From the menu I wasn't expecting much and with them being across from the shipyard don't expect huge portions - their clientele are working 10 hours shifts with 30min lunches lol ? . However the portion should fill you up decent . My food was made to order which I appreciated , had I not wanted to wait I would've called it in. Clean but dated environment but again their clientele is ship yard so people aren't eating inside. Again food is GREAT ??“

“I usually call ahead so when I go on lunch I can just grab it, pay, and go. Even if I don't call ahead of time the food is made quickly and tastes fine. $10 for a bacon cheeseburger with a decent amount of fries and a canned drink is honestly the best deal you'll get around here as a shipyard worker, at least in my opinion. They aren't rude, as some other reviews have said, they're just blunt. And I respect that. All in all 4/5 stars and I'll continue to eat here.“

“Excellent service. Amazing short order food. Get hash browns on your breakfast sandwich; it’s a game changer.“

“Wow, glad I did not miss this place. The outside of the building was hideing the amazing staff and food! The beer was good but the food was outstanding. Chicken pot pie was epic, wife had the pulled pork and coleslaw wantons and both amazing. The salted ham on homemade yeast rolls..... Mmmm. The onion rings are a meal on their own. Come hungry and leave with doggy bags. We will. Be back.“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“Good food. pool tables and fun times“

“The food is delicious...the servers are the best. As an older single man of several years now, I feel loved and cared about every time I'm there. They keep me coming back!“

“one of our "go to" spots for date night. the Brisket nachos are yummy and the tap selections are always good.“

“The food is great and so are the people who work there. It’s busy all of the time and that’s a good thing! The only issue I saw and did not like was a cook came to the front with rubber gloves on b“

“Nice little selection of bourbon, great service and food. Will definitely be back soon“

“As a server since 2021 (4yrs) I will be returning. The cusine, service, presentation, atmosphere was incredible & phenomenal. My server was, Corey. Very attentive, personable, knowledgeable, meticulous. I drove to Newport News from Charlottesville Va. approximately over 2hrs, for a late birthday dinner ( he acknowledged the special occasion and even brought me a free dessert on the house ) The food for my table was coursed beautifully, silverware was removed and preset for all of my next course, I never had to ask for refills, empty glassware was removed from the table, before receiving my next cocktail. The only complaint I had was the blue claw salad (very odd to me) Perception is half of reality, and judging by service, I will be returning, and recommending this to all of my friends. Thanks Cory!!!!! I'll specifically request you when I return“

“I came to se Nick Deez and it was sold out but they greeted us at the door and still made us feel VIP and put us on a waiting list. Meanwhile gave us drinks and provided 5 star service. They got us into the show and their crab cakes are delicious 🤤 To make it all a perfect night, Nick Deez was hilarious and so was Matt Hubbard the entire card was so good!“

“We came for the formal Easter brunch and had a great meal. The seafood bisque was creamy and delicious. I think my dad could have had bowls! The prime rib was cooked perfectly and the crab cakes were huge and delicious! Our server was fantastic!“

“went there last night for the first time for some drinks and food.. I've lived in the. neighborhood for a year and wish I would have checked this place out sooner..loved it“

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

“I’m from up north and had only been to a Waffle House while driving down to FL (typical NJ family tradition lol). Now that I live so close to one, I love being able to truly enjoy the atmosphere. The waitresses are always a delight and will keep you smiling. I stop by every so often during walks with my son. He has slept in here and also been in the restaurant smiling the whole time too. I love it.
Recently I got a burger with waffles on the side and when I came home, I used the waffles as a bun for the burger and omg… totally worth it. I’ll have to get a picture next time!“

“The service and food was impeccable! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!“

“BOMB. Got chicken (3 piece) w/ mashed potatoes & Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious and also packaged nicely. I ordered from door dash at like midnight so it was perfect 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“One end by the windows was too cold (AC vent above) for most. Put me and my brother didn't mind one bit. We got seated quickly. The server was very attentive nice smiling energetic good-looking got everything right. Food came quick, pricing was great (compared to the breakfast served at the hotel we were staying at), food was excellent nice portions, tasty. So extreme value going here (New Port News VA) for breakfast.“

“By far, this was one of the best and most unexpected dining experiences. I have to give mad love and major high fives for a job well done. Josh, you are an incredible manager with an old soul, good vibes and it really shows that you put your heart into what you do. I cannot say how truly wonderful you and your staff are!!!! To Mikayla who made the Dirty Shirley (please forgive me if I spelled your name wrong love), you are awesome! Thank you so much my girl!!! Sadie, you have such a beautiful heart with excellent customer service and as our waitress, we truly couldn't have asked for more. Follow your dreams sweetheart! Peter, you have such a great laugh and are happy go lucky with good vibes! Jasmine, you are totally the all around good vibe with the best hair ever! Rock it!!!! And Mo.......you have the best smile, most infectious laugh, and take time to say hello. We love all of you so much and it felt more like family than it did a staff. That truly says a lot. Trust me ........I work in the customer service field of business so kudos! Y'all keep vibing and smiling!!! As Stick Figure says, "We're Putting Smiles on Faces!" 😊❤️ The food was on point! If there was something that wasn't up to par, let your waiter or waitress know. If Josh is there, you will not leave unsatisfied and if you do, your expectations were clearly way out of his control or overboard. We are surrounded by fresh seafood in this area and by far, stellar and yummy on this experience. We look forward to seeing you guys again. Much love. 🤙“

“Miss Malencia is the best!! She is so sweet and so much fun. Applebee's has always been a pretty "meh" place to me but when I receive excellent service, I'm way more likely to return. They also seem to be moving into more of a bar environment on some days, with karaoke and trivia games and the like.“

“Was walkin about around town and met the owner outside the store, He was very friendly tho spoke little English inviting me in. So I decided to try the place out, yes tho it may be off to the side and in a hidden part of town to me at least. The Pizza was great took only a little bit for it to be prepared, it tasted delicious, especially for its price. Plan to revisit due to how close it is to the barracks.“

“A peaceful place to enjoy a delicious well made breakfast with friendly and attentive service. It is my dining sanctuary in such a very busy and stressed out city.“

“Great food & service! We called to get a table for 8 since the other restaurant was taking too long. They accommodated us quickly. Waitress was on point, very polite & even took our picture! Manager was great! Even the bus staff was polite! Food was so good & everything was correct! We will be coming back!“
