“Crumbl never disappoints! The cookies are huge, soft in the center with that perfect chewy edge, and the rotating weekly menu keeps things exciting. I love how creative the flavors are — from classics like Chocolate Chip to fun ones like Churro or Key Lime Pie. The presentation is always on point, and the pink box makes it feel like a treat before you even take a bite. Prices are a little higher than a typical cookie shop, but the size and quality make up for it. Definitely my go-to when I want to treat myself or surprise friends!”

“My daughter and I went yesterday and had the best experience! We ordered two crepes and a coffee drink. Everything came out so quickly. The portions were great, the food was amazing, and the service was great. My daughter said she’d give them more than 5 stars out of 5. We will definitely go back!”

“Had a wonderful dinner here last week. Miranda waited on us and was extremely personable and helped some of us with menu options. I had the veal parmigiana and was cooked to perfection.

Diner • $
“Always a wonderful dining experience! The service was excellent-all servers were pleasant/friendly, but professional, accommodating, efficient, patient & timely. Atmosphere was pleasant with just the right amount of energy, enjoyed the diverse music at the perfect volume. The food? AMAZING!!! Haven't tried everything, but what we have was well prepared, seasoned just right, delicious & served hot. Don't let the word "Diner" deceive because it's more than just a diner. Shout out to Daria our server in Chesapeake: one of the best!”
Chicken Wings • $
“Out of this world amazing doesn’t do chick n roll justice. Their food is delicious. The curry croquettes were delectable. The perfect mix of spices! The miso soup is savory and perfect. Their chicken katsu burger was made to perfection. No falling apart, cooked wonderfully. The fried rice special was perfect too! All in all their food is honestly the best. I highly recommend everyone to come here!”

“Best service, best food, and best Mission experience! Every time I go Mission BBQ in Chesapeake, we feel honored and served with excellence. Caylee is the best!! The last time times we have been there, I am amazed by her kindness and service excellence. Cubes, the kitchen manager, cooks with the touch from heaven. Thank you for being a blessing! Y’all are our fav!”
Pizza • $
“We have visited Pizza Twist 3 times and never disappointed. We love the unique flavors and toppings. The pizza was baked just right-hot, cheesy, abundant toppings and to our specifications. We don't like hot spices (they toned it down for us) and it was so flavorful without burning our mouths. We will come back.”
Acai Bowls • $
“Welcoming & Delicious! I took my 5 yr daughter with me to try Everbowl. We loved it so much we forgot to take any pics! We will be back again! I had Cacao Wow & Pitaya as my base with banana, granola & raw cacao and my daughter had vanilla with banana. So refreshing on a hot day.”

Bar • $$$
“What an exceptional establishment it gives vintage speakeasy vibes the decor and the ambience are beautiful. The bartenders are very skilled in their craft showcasing a lot of very good cocktails and mocktails. We tried a variety of small plates to include steak bites, seafood ceviche, lamb chops, truffle fries, Wagyu sliders, oyster Rockefeller, guacamole and deviled eggs. All of the dishes were amazing my favorite had to be the Wagyu sliders, guacamole (has chorizo in it) and the oysters. They have a regular menu as well. Will definitely be going back to try the ribeye as customers raved about it. Was an extra plus that social hour from 4:30 to 5:30 PM has All dishes and drinks 50% off. If you have never tried this place you are missing out. I think I’ve found my new weekly spot.”

“Shout out to Alex! I ordered delivery through their third party app. I didn't get my margaritas (and I really needed my margaritas) and my daughter's taco order was incorrect. I called and after talking to the hostest and the manager, I finally got to Alex. They don't have control over the app or the driver, they also can't refund if you paid through the app. They offered a store credit, but that didn't solve the problem, I was at Karen level by this time. But they made it right- Alex drove to my house with my margaritas and not just one, but 2 tacos for my daughter. Now that is how you take care of the customer. Only Los Primos at Hanbury for this family from now on!!”

My family visits almost daily and even if I mess up and forget to say “ plain” they have no problem with fixing my mistake. A young man name Kamari who takes the drive through orders is a stand out worker when it comes to customer service. When McDonalds pisses me off and I come across the street to Burger King he always makes my day better. Let me nit leave out that the store is CLEAN!”

“My family and I frequently come here to play. I love that the play place has its own area with tables and a door to close it off so kids can’t run out. The staff is also really friendly! The tables and chairs in the play area have always been clean, so has the bathroom in there.
I don’t particularly care for McDonalds food, but my kids do and they love this particular establishments play place. Always other kids to play with as well. Great rainy day spot, and you can actually kinda relax hahaha!”

“Went here over the weekend with some friends as we were looking for a new sushi place to try that central for all of us. This is an absolute hidden gem. Everything we tried was amazing and had perfect texture and flavors. One of very few places that I've been to that I ignored my soy sauce, as everything was absolutely perfectly flavored. Will absolutely be back 10 out of 10”

“If you haven't been to the Amber Lantern, YOU NEED TO 😍 This hidden gem is like the best kept secret. It's off the beaten path, so you wouldn't know you're even passing it, but frankly, I think that's what I like the most about it. I took hubby out for his birthday, and we had such a quiet and peaceful dinner overlooking the water. Our bill at the end of the night was surprisingly lower than we expected, and we ate many high end meal options. I'd actually go as far to say that I prefer this place over Butcher's Son. Our server, Kristi, went above and beyond and was incredibly genuine and down to earth. The menu provided a great selection that gave many options but wasn't overwhelming. The wine was out of this world! For appetizers we had scallops and fried oysters. I've eaten many oysters in my day, but I've never had ones like this. Lightly fried on the outside with that perfect crunch while the oyster itself was still very juicy! The scallops were perfectly seasoned. My husband had the special of beef tips while I had lobster tortellini. The beef tips didn't even require a knife, just melted right in the mouth. My lobster tortellini was out of this world. We ended with a dessert of tiramisu, homemade raspberry whipped cream, and Carmel sauce. WOW! It was light and moist but not drenched in liquid. We went around 6 and there were only a few couples, but by 8, it was booming! Many regulars from what I could tell. My husband commented that we are definitely coming back, and bringing others with us 😍. It'll now be our go-to for birthdays, anniversaries, and visits from family 😍”

“Went for Sunday brunch, and the food was absolutely amazing! First off, the decor here is so pretty, it really gives the place a great vibe. The brunch is a buffet, and trust me, they have something for everyone. I like the fact that there is actually a person that serves you, so there aren't tons of people touching the utensils and reaching all over the food. Whoever they have cooking knows how to throw down!! Everything I had was seasoned to perfection. We had a large party, and between all of us, we had everything on the buffet. There was not one complaint. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I will definitely be back!”

“This place was amazing from the moment we walked in until we checked out and left! The staff was so friendly and on top of things, the food was literally so flavorful and cooked perfectly and I can be picky at times! I had the Salmon and hubby had the Ahi Tuna and for appetizers we had the fried shrimp with sweet tai chili sauce and a bowl of She crab soup. We will absolutely be back again. We even made it a point to ask to speak to the manager so that we could actually let him know what an amazing job everybody was doing. I highly recommend this place.”

“Rhiannon is an amazing bartender! Invititing, welcoming, and great conversation. Unfortunately, our burgers both came out overdone. Rhianna noticed, apologized, and had the manager come speak with us. Both were apologetic and asked if we wanted a new meal. It was late, we were done, so he comped the meal. Realistically, we would have rather had the burgers cooked correctly, but mistakes happened. They owned up to it and made it right. Thank you both! The service recovery was amazing!”

It’s always clean and my kids love it!”

“The food was really good and I had the hibachi steak and veggies and fried rice. The decor is old so don’t go if you’re trying to have a fancy date. They had amazing service and the chef did an awesome job! The downside is they don’t have noodles. At least that’s what the lady told me who took the order, that since they bought it a year ago they don’t have noodles, so that was disappointing bc noodles are my favorite part of the dish and their menus say they have noodles. They also dont have clear soup, just the miso and their vegetables are lame. Just cabbage and a few slices of carrots and that’s it. No zucchini no squash no mushrooms, they actually don’t have mushrooms there he said so I’m not sure but what food we did get was pretty good. I’d go back if someone asked me to go there but I wouldn’t go there on my own accord, but again just bc some of my favorite stuff they don’t seem to serve. We did go on a Wednesday morning when they first opened up for the day.”

“I would highly recommend Crystal. She did an amazing job with our wedding cake. It looked incredible and it tasted absolutely gorgeous…so much so we didn’t get to take any home at the end. Crystal was also very helpful if I had any questions and really took on board the vision I had for our cake. We are already thinking about whose birthday is next so we can get another cake.”

Steak House • $$$
“I was very disappointed!! Steak was full of gristle, and for $40 well not worth it. The small piece I was able to eat was well seasoned and cooked ok, a little underdone for a medium piece of meat. The baked potato was cold and the asparagus soggy and limp! What a meal, the server did offer to cook another steak, but since I was with a large crowd did not want to be eating my meal when everyone was ready to leave, I declined and asked for an adjustment to my check, they gave me a $20 adjustment, wow!! I ordered a cup of she crab soup, which was tasty, $8. And, I had a coke. Ended up spending $50 since gratuity was added. As a way of compensation I was brought a banana pudding that the bananas were rotten in. On the positive side, my service was very attentive and friendly, so I did leave an addition to my already charged for gratuity. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. On the down side, there is no seating for folks that are waiting to be seated. We were told we could go to our cars and be texted when our table was ready, or wait at the bar which had insufficient seating. Our table had been reserved over a month ago, but still had to wait to be seated since "our" table was currently occupied and they were waiting for them to leave, so 11 of us were all huddled up by the front door, with no seating. Going back to the cars was unacceptable, if you've ever seen that parking lot at dinner time you know why. I was very disappointed that I brought 10 other people and was under compensated. My husband asked when I got home how were things, I just said, never again. Now, in all fairness, this was not my first visit. My other visit was for Sunday brunch, equally unimpressed. Oh, and as an added note, the prices that were reflected on the menu were all ignored and we were charged more, without being told. I'm sorry this review is so unflattering, but I'm compelled to tell the truth especially when fine dining. It's all such a shame. I was embarrassed that I was responsible for bringing a large crowd, since I saw several things left on plates. What a shame. The stars do not reflect my review, site would not allow me to change number of stars, I’d say 2 stars.”

“I really love the food but for the past several times I've had to call in for take out I've not liked the way the phone conversation has gone because the person that takes my order always sounds as if she is inconvenienced as her tone goes down and with attitude as soon as she hears my voice. Do I need to say more? It's ashame that it's like this because like I said I really do like the food, it's just this attitude I can do without.”

“I just had a fabulous omelet from IHOP. I tried the white egg omelet with mushrooms, tomato, spinach, and pesto. It came with a fresh fruit cup. I have to say it was one of the best omelets I have ever eaten. The ingredients were really fresh and the tomatoes were so sweet. The fruit cup was freshly cut fruit consisting of grapes, pineapple, and honey dew melon. The waitress said she actually cut the pineapple herself. Our waitress, Sabrina, did an excellent job caring for us. Everyone posts the complaints. I hope the restaurant sees this and continues taking great pride in their restaurant.”

“I basically live in this shop, it’s a great family owned spot which definitely gives it a cozy vibe. They have everything you can think of for any health ailment you may be experiencing, and if they don’t, they are happy to order it for you! Everyone is so kind and helpful, I highly recommend to any one who is looking for herbs, natural wellness remedies/care, detoxing, maintenance of the body, toddler/children’s remedies, and much more!”

“I'm recommending because the food is yummy! However the service is disappointing especially my last few visits. I normally do take out and the last time something was forgotten in my order which I did not notice til I got home (I live a bit aways from the restaurant) I called and the bartender who is always nice took my information and apologized even offered a credit towards my next order. However the last few times (one being last night) we dined in and the service was very disappointing. Our server was very slow she kept tending to the other guests around us and left us hanging. Took awhile to get our appetizer and awhile before she took our entree order. Did not offer dessert and took her almost 15 minutes before she brought my credit card back so we could leave. I love the food and atmosphere but the service needs improving.”

“I love the convenience of a drive through- HOWEVER I will give that convenience up for superior coffee and service!

Kudos yall!”

“I was tired of Taco Bell and remembered my ex-boyfriend had gone here before and bought me some awesome steak quesadillas. They have great Latin music playing, and the waitresses are right there at the counter. You can sit at tables if you prefer instead of ordering take-out. My waitress gave me a menu, and after ordering, I only had about a 15-minute wait. It was worth it. They were just as I remembered. The meat was tender, and I couldn't finish it all in one go! ¡Muy delicioso! 😍🫶🌺💯!!!”

Pizza • $
“We have visited Pizza Twist 3 times and never disappointed. We love the unique flavors and toppings. The pizza was baked just right-hot, cheesy, abundant toppings and to our specifications. We don't like hot spices (they toned it down for us) and it was so flavorful without burning our mouths. We will come back.”

“I am writing to address an issue I had with a recent order at the Portsmouth location in Chesapeake Square Mall. The problem I encountered with a recent order for the Chicken and Shrimp Chipotle Pasta for myself and my sister. When we opened the order at home, we found that the dish only contained chicken and no shrimp. I called the store, and the manager instructed me to return the order for a replacement, which I did. However, upon receiving the remake, we found that it was only half the portion size of the original meal—essentially, the chef appeared to have split one full dish into two smaller portions, rather than properly preparing two separate orders. As a loyal customer, I have never experienced service like this before, and the entire situation was very frustrating. Not only did I have to return to the store twice, but the second attempt still did not resolve the issue. I called the store again, and at that point, the manager, Brooke, asked if I had taken pictures of the order. I did, and I am happy to share those images with you as an attachment. The total cost of the meal was $40.28, and I feel that the value and quality of the service did not meet my expectations. I am hoping for a prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response.”

“I was very nervous about ordering due to some bad reviews but man am I happy I ignored them and ordered anyway! I’m originally from Massachusetts and we have some great pizza places. I’ve had some luck finding good pizza here but nothing that reminds me of home. It’s all about the crust for me! So anyway I had a craving for cheese pizza so I ordered from Sal’s. The pizza was exactly like home. Thin crust with a little crunch, good cheese and light sauce! Perfection! The gentleman who was working tonight was friendly too! Super happy with my experience and the pizza! Thank you Sal’s! I’ll be back!!”

“Best ribs I’ve ever had! They were a full huge rack, with such a great taste and just fall off the bone. Truly finger licking good. Not only that, they are quite the bargain at only $19. They have become quite a commodity amongst the locals so hope they don’t sell out. The best kept secret in Chesapeake, well secret no more. You’ve gotta come try them. You won’t be disappointed. Tell them Bert sent you! The picture is a DOUBLE STACK of ribs…Full Rack!”
