“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!”

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.”

“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!!”

Chinese • $
“Pekking Chinese Food on Cedar Rd just made me lose my mind. Not once, but TWICE—they completely messed up both of my orders. I’m not talking about a little missing soy sauce or forgetting a fork. I mean straight up wrong food, sloppy portions, cold and stale like it had been sitting for hours, and ZERO apology or accountability when I called back. I was polite the first time, gave them a chance. Second time? I was PISSED. And they had the nerve to act like it was my fault.
I swear to God, I’ve never written a review like this before, but I am genuinely livid. I spent my hard-earned money and waited patiently just to be served disrespect and garbage food. This ain’t even “bad takeout,” it’s straight up disrespect on a plate.
Absolutely unacceptable. I will never eat here again and I’ll make sure everyone I know hears about this joke of a restaurant.
-EDIT
I want to sincerely apologize for my previous 1-star review. At the time, I was frustrated and let my emotions get the better of me, which led me to say things that were unfair to this business. The staff here have always been respectful and handled the situation professionally, even when I didn’t. I’ve eaten here before and had good experiences, but I let one mistake cloud my perspective. That wasn’t right, and I take full responsibility for how I reacted. I wanted to update my review to make that clear.
I spent over $60 on the meal that upset me. As a very picky eater, I was surprised and disappointed to find carrots added to all my meals when I specifically ordered chicken and broccoli and other items. I believe the dish should be labeled “chicken, broccoli, and carrots” rather than just “chicken and broccoli” to avoid confusion for others with similar preferences.
Thank you for your understanding.”

The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The food is always fantastic. They rotate a special menu for each season and it’s always such a great incentive to come in and try the new foods that will without a doubt be delicious. The vibe is so cozy, intimate, and friendly.

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!”

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!!”

Brunch • $$
“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!”

“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.

Will absolutely be back 10 out of 10”
Brewery • $$
“The Garage Brewery is a wonderful spot in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Located in the growing city of Chesapeake, VA I just adore this local brewery. Their beer is on point. Have you ever tried peanut butter beer? They have it. It is one of my favorites. I do recommend 5 stars overall in the community sense. In the biker sense…it is 5 stars as well. They are supporting the local biker community with bike nights and attending biker events. The employees are really kind and nice. They really enjoy the bikers of Hampton Roads. 5 stars. We do recommend this brewery.”

“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.”

“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 😍”

“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!”

“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.”

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 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! 😍🫶🌺💯!!!”

“Just don't use online ordering. Never works and end up making food after you waited and get to the restaurant.”

“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.”

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.”

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.”

“This place is one of the only CONSISTENTLY AMAZING places I have ever known. They never have a bad day and let it show. The employees are so sweet and accommodating. The burgers rival those of the famous Jack Browns, and honestly- I would go to Burger Haven given the choice between the two. If you are dying for the perfect burger, do your soul a favor and eat here.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“My brother and his wife treated my wife and me to an all-you-can-eat experience in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The place was incredible—the food was absolutely delicious. However, what really surprised my wife and me was the price. This restaurant charged only $13.99 per person, whereas here in Hollywood, we're paying $49.99 per person. Love this place, and I'm taking my Hollywood money to Virginia.”
