50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Monroe

“This was my first time visiting and I was not disappointed!! A group of us got together for an adult skip day of fun at the beach. We starting having fun pulling in the lot..lol The atmosphere was perfect for a beach party without having to deal actual beach traffic. The staff was friendly and on point with every move providing everything promised and then some!! The buffalo sauce was good enough to drink!!🤣 While we are on the subject of drinks, shout to the bartenders for making drinks worth the money!! Last and definitely not least, Cabana Emily B was superb in serving our group the entire time!! We were there from 1 -7 and we saw her so much, it was like she was with us!!! Her and her counterpart did not miss a beat!!! Needless to say the group is already planning a second outing and Emily B will be requested!!! Til next time Paradise Ocean Club!!“

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

“This place surprised me. It was better than I expected. I usually don’t crave food after I eat but this place made me want to take food to go. Specifically the loaded Philly cheesesteak fries and Calzones. They’re also very professional with a New York vibe.“

“My wife and I have consistently enjoyed Swell for several years. Service and food are exceptional! However, I'm posting this review because of something that occurred this evening. Two days ago, I received an email informing me of a new addition to their menu ...... she crab soup. My wife and I were thrilled and decided to check it out this evening. We arrived, order wine and a beer, and were informed that the she crab soup ran out yesterday. I'm hoping that, in the future, if the owner is going to advertise a new menu item, that item should be on the menu. If it is not available, the owner should consider sending an email to his VIP members.“

“Met a client for dinner and it was a great recommendation! I had actually eaten already but decided to grab some light bites so that my client didn't have to eat alone.

I ordered the buffalo shrimp and a cup of chili. I like that the shrimp was cooked in the buffalo sauce and not just thrown on when it finished cooking. They were very saucy and I just realized that I failed to get a picture of them.

The cup of chilli was filled to the brim and came with the option of having sour cream, cheese, as well as one of the best pieces of corn bread that I've eaten outside of home. It was thick and sweet and cooked to perfection!

Our server was exceptional, she had the perfect blend of allowing us time and ability to converse while also being discreetly attentive to our needs.

Also ordered a piece of cheesecake to go and it was as delicious as they come, even without toppings! The only tipping that they had was raspberry sauce and I'm more of a strawberry person but this generously portioned cheesecake didn't even need it.

The environment was very intimate and allowed for private conversations. There was also a room which looks like it may be used for somewhat larger groups but I'm not sure.

It did not take long to get a table, as they were ready to seat us immediately upon arrival.

There is an intimate parking lot but I believe the lot adjacent to it can also possibly be used- but I didn't check it out. There is also limited street parking, which could likely be competitive outside of the Sunday that we met.

The menu has a lot of variety and there are options for every type of pallet. Based on my experience, I would definitely return and would recommend them highly.“

“Great people, food, atmosphere and affordable. I love the blueberry coffee by the way ❤️“

“Probably one of the best Home made breakfasts money can buy….“

“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.“

“My girlfriends and I tried their dining experience yesterday and we were not disappointed at all. Our server, Cat, was amazing! We started with some drinks, which she made and OMG the Belle Isle, which has Lavender Moonshine in it, is now one of my favorite drinks! 🍹 We had the fried oysters and crab dip appetizers. The oysters were so fresh and was battered and fried perfectly, I must say. The crab dip with pita bread was so delicious! We all said we could have eaten that and would have been completely satisfied. We all ordered the same entree, the Cobb Salad, with ranch dressing. Everything was so fresh! To top everything off, we visited The Market, which is their pastry/bakery shop. I purchased the HoHo cupcake, a lemon zinger cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. I’ve eaten some of the lemon zinger and it is delicious! The General Manager was very nice and shared with us the history of this wonderful establishment. This is a place where you can take your family, have a nice day or night date, they have space for a private party or if you just want to have a nice meal at the bar. I am definitely returning. Five ⭐️ for me all day long. 😁 p.s their bathrooms are very clean and each bathroom have their own unique styles 🤭 THANK YOU @Mac Specialz for recommending this place!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Listen these guys from Philly are down here making a way and wave for themselves!! I loved the food, 15 minute wait, the customer service during the wait was excellent, we were comped some Mango Philly water(IFYKYK)! ONCE we received our food my son took a quick bite.....let's just say the food didnt make it to the picture part of the review....for either of us!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1073 N. King Street....get there!!“

“💐✨ best food for your bucks ~ laid back relaxed Country meets Coastal kinda cool ,,“

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

“Anytime we have come here for lunch or dinner, the food has been excellent. I would recommend to anyone, who is in a hurry, but wants more than the regular fast food places this is very unique, and the price isn't bad either. Friendly Service“

“One of the best burgers i have had and the smashers sauce is in point... can wait to get back down there need one close to me!“

“We could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter’s wedding at Vista Point! Mara’s expertise was instrumental in bringing about a perfect weekend from the rehearsal to wedding to reception. The guests are still talking about the exceptional food and service provided by banquet manager Terri and team. And the bartenders developed and served signature drinks that were outstanding. When you combine incredible water views with some of the best people in the hospitality industry, you get the wedding of your daughter’s dreams!“

“The best burgers and mozzarella sticks!! Highly recommend!“

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving. I was well assisted up the stairs and taken to our table. The servers could not have been more pleasant. When it was time to leave one of the female employees assisted me down the front steps and to my waiting car. They made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you so much.“

“Greetings from Moore to Christ Ministries!

“My husband and I love this place. The atmosphere is so family oriented, and they treat every patron with love. I volunteer to feed the homeless and asked them to cater for us. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The guests (homeless) kept wanting seconds. They are always willing to support our cause. Love them to pieces ❤️“

“Totally awesome atmosphere and service. Food was great too!“

“Need an attorney? michelle is your girl. she has showed me more compassion and dedication than any other law firms. her knowledge and legal expertise really stood out to me. her communication throughout the process was like no other she broke down my case(s) in a step by step manor. I would argue her professionalism is one of the best in the state. I highly recommend michelle as your attorney!“

“The food is AMAZING Everything that I have tasted I would rate a 10 out 10. The customer service is great as well. Definitely would recommend!“

“This is inside of a convenient store. I just got chicken(lil drummets) and fries. The food was fresh and the price is great for the amount of food I got. I was speaking with some of the regulars and was told a bunch of other items to try. The store had a lot of items in there as well“

“Lucky we found this place. Definitely will be back when we pass through the Area. Definitely A Local Favorite they were Rollin. But Did not Effect Service or getting our Food. Both were on point.Breakfast was Awesome! looking forward to trying Lunch next time.“

“Everything about this restaurant is exceptional. Great food for sure.“

“Straight to the Point & Delicious!**

If you're looking for a spot that keeps it simple, straight to the point, and delivers incredible food, Ziggy's on Granby is it.
I knew I was in the right place the second I saw the **turkey sausage dogs** on the menu—I was instantly sold! It only got better from there. Their **turkey burgers** are the real deal; you can tell they aren't some frozen, pre-made patties. They are fresh, hand-pattied, and full of flavor.
To top it all off, the ladies working the register were absolute standouts. Not only are they beautiful, but their customer service and advertising skills are top-notch. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in.
I will definitely be recommending Ziggy’s to anyone looking for a great meal, and I’ll absolutely be returning at a later date.

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

“Our favorite place for breakfast“

“I've been going to see Eva for 20 years and her food is still the same, pure love and respect made with every meal, food is awesome, and the she hasn't aged a day. I always order a large bacon cheese burger add egg over medium with fries and 2 chili cheese dogs all the way with a LG sweet tea. Been hitting that hunger spot perfectly“

“Great service food and wine! Highly recommend a visit with friends and colleagues!“

“We came here as a group of 6 on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated at their smallest table. When we asked to be moved to a larger (there were 3 open larger tables) we were told that the "wait" was too long. All 3 tables sat empty the entire time we ate. 3 of the 6 people in our party ordered the blackened sword fish at $34/plate. The orders came as grilled and they were severely over cooked. When we mentioned that the orders were wrong, we were told that they could take that fish back add blackened seasoning and re cook the same (already overcooked) fish. We asked to speak to the manager, whose immediate solution was to take off the automatic gratuity and just not tip our server. We never got an apology for the food being wrong, and the manager was completely rude the entire time. The manager's final solution was to take $4 off of a $80 bill. We will not be back.“

“I had a great time at PBR in Hampton. Good music, good vibes! The best part was my bartender Kayla! She was very attentive and made me feel WELCOME!“

“best place in town love the food drinks an the staff“

“Great food and customer service.“

“This was my first time here. First person I talked to was security about where I could park. I parked in the section she was at and she walked me up to the door, told me who to see and to have a great time. I had a great time! I had two great waitresses Brittny and Cris. But to have someone walk me to the door and explain everything, I knew I made the right choice. Oh she said get the prime rib or steak…the security lady. I got the prime rib, boy she was right on everything!“

“Food was actually quite good and quite a bargain. I tried to be healthy and hit the salad bar with my meal, but you should know this was the most expensive part of my meal…my $9.50 lunch would have been $5.55 without my small salad. A good price with it, a steal without it.“

“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.“

“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“

“The owners are super nice. Our food is always hot and delicious. I always get two pork chop sandwiches with tomato lettuce and onions with French fries and two egg rolls. I may even drink a beer while we are there. It's a chill place to go and shoot pool and listen to some good music and laugh with friends.“

“pretty yummy! great prices. fast service. we will be back“

“First time, really good!! Our server was Justin and he made sure we enjoyed the experience. Definitely would go again!!!“

“Wow. This place gets 5 YUMS from us! Looks like we missed National Sandwich Day, but we finally got the chance to try out McAlister’s and it did not disappoint! It did take a little while to decide what to get because their menu is so (beautifully) varied! I ended up getting the 1/2 salad (Pecanberry) and 1/2 sandwich (Harvest Chicken Salad). The price was very good, especially as I was so surprised at the portion given of both! -My sandwich was served on a croissant… a WHOLE croissant! The croissant was toasted just right, making it slightly crispy but not burnt. The salad and the dressing served with the salad were fabulous, as well. Until this meal, I had 2 favorite places to get green salads and one favorite place to get Chicken Salad. Now I have ONE favorite place to get both: McAlister’s. No joke. Plus, customer service there rocks! My husband and I are looking very forward to our next visit and asked for a take-out menu so it doesn’t take us so long to order next time! 😆“
