New American Restaurants near Fort Monroe, VA

“Nice atmosphere live band, food and drinks with lots of friendly people with good vibes, but not enough seats, they must do better in that area. They were pack as well. Bartenders didn't serve everybody, people were complaining about being ignored when trying to order drinks or food.“

“Great time . Big place where you can sit and talk while eating. Great tasting food and attentive servers and staff“

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

“Great food! We are from out of state, visiting family and loved this place.“

“Went there for a late dinner last Saturday during my family’s visit to Va Beach and loved it. The owner was very friendly and showed us how the self-pour worked and how to order food. The beer selection was plentiful and it was nice that there were wine choices (including sangria) for the non-beer drinkers in our party.
My BYO Burger, my wife’s chicken sandwich, my son’s Smokehouse Burger and Buffalo Chicken Dip were great!
The atmosphere was chill and being on the roof was perfect with the great weather of Labor Day weekend.“

“Gem. We had kimchi patty melt. Dumplings. Goat cheese. Everything was exquisite. I am a diner patty melt purist... I generally object to patty melts that are not the 70 year old recipe. The kimchi patty melt actually gave patty melt and PACKED with layers of flavors. (A touch sloppy) Dumplings were delicious and flavorful and goat cheese was so insta worthy but I failed to let phone eat first . We are in the hood and have eaten here multiple times... Always upscale first class. The vibe at the bar is super hip. We have never been able to sit here until tonight. We don't come here enough it is such a fab place with a great creative menu.“

“We took a large group of out of town guests there for lunch during a bike ride between Fort Monroe and Buckroe. MillCreek was so accommodating and the food was great (as usual) Burgers, Wings, chicken sliders, onion rings! Great experience of impressing our friends with a super friendly side of Hampton! 😁“

“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.“

“Since I moved to Virginia back in 2019, this has been a staple meal for my family and I. Service is quick, food is always scalding hot because they just made it, and prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get. The bulgogi cheesesteak, the double cheeseburger, and the wings are all fantastic. Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance if you haven’t already; you’ll be thankful you did.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. killer drinks, and great food. hats off .. 🤙“

“We ate there April 4th 2025 and the food was amazing! I had the Cowboy BBQ Brisket Sandwich it was super tender and juicy and falling apart. My husband had the Cheesiest Burger, which as the name suggests is quite cheesy. Battered fried were crispy and flavorful. However the Mac and cheese did not live up to my husbands standards. I would still definitely recommend this place. It was absolutely delicious!!!“

“Great place to grab a drink and hang with friends.“

“The menu for a BLT-Deluxe PRICED within reason got me in Thursday to feed my hunger and be a delay from the 4pm traffic backup on even Armistead and Pembroke, the short, cordially engaging, tattooed waitress who knows how to make a generously meaty sandwich made this rare trip to E. QUEENS Way the more memorable“

“Called in my order to surprise my fiancé with breakfast for his birthday. 🎂 I mentioned this to Karen, when I picked it up she told me she put a candle in his pancake. Such a kind gesture. She even wrote Happy Birthday 🎉 on the container. So very sweet. Excellent customer service. I always encounter a great experience whether I’m dining in, calling in, or ordering online. But I most definitely wanted to shout out The lovely Caring Karen. As always I highly recommend Belaire Pancake House.“

“Good food for everyone, vegetarian and kids.“

“I came to Baked today on a friend’s recommendation and I am already hooked. I eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches and theirs is the BEST! They chop up the bacon and it was cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly as well. This is not just a pizza place, they have breakfast, sandwiches, ice cream, a big wine bottle selection, full bar, gaming play area and cozy corner. It has it all!! I will be back to work from here and enjoy all they have to offer.“

“Great coffee… ☕️😋 We just stopped by on our way to the Barry Art Museum. Thank you and happy new year.“

“This place is super amazing! my wife and I tried this for first time the other night and only wish we had known sooner. We ordered 12 piece chicken w 2 vegetables and puffs. best chicken I’ve ever had. Service is wonderful, the bread pudding was also amazing. Highly recommended to anyone looking for amazing food“

“just visiting. Fantastic! Michters 12yr . Baja Tacos. The Big Chop. Trish at the bar all for the win“

“Food was great, service excellent“

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

“It feels weird to review the wheelhouse because it's such a cornerstone of the culture here. If you've been on base, someone has probably invited you to the wheelhouse - and for good reason. Inexpensive and delicious all-american fare with friendly fast service. Can't go wrong.“

“My home away from home. Love the staff, and the service, great prices on drinks. Great food. Upgraded the inside it nice“

“Friendly Service and the food is amazing“

“Just left here. Showed up at around 6:30 with no reservation on a Friday. Had to wait a few to get seat at bar but no problem. So glad I waited to experience this place. They have a parking lot which is great. Vibe inside is lively but not overwhelming, upscale but not uppity, with food to rival their drinks. Bartender Joe was so busy but remained attentive and pleasant. Ordered the fried shrimp app, nachos and ahi tuna tacos. Usually I order ahi tacos at a place and get 2 tiny things. I got 4 which was super shocking. I spent $130 AFTER tip but I ain’t mad it was worth it. Drinks weren’t watery and weak, service was great, vibe was great with a good mix of people and food was well worth the money. Highly reccomend. Also their happy hour is also on Fridays which is unusual.“

“Great spot to make it your comfortable, regular place to go drink get a bite talk about whatever. Its Therapeutic ??“

“Look watching football there.“

“I mainly come out here for live music and the weekly open mics. I don’t drink so I have no need to sit at the bar. However, I will say that the server with the black hair is one of the most unpleasant individuals I’ve ever encountered. She’s always working on Thursdays (open mic nights). You would think that I rejected her back in high school or something. I try to get along with everyone but sometimes some people really just suck. Other than that, I love the place.“

“We visited this restaurant primarily for their delicious desserts. They have a scrumptious coconut cake. I would advise not to visit an hour before closing as they secure the back area and they are stern about it. We had an active toddler that was walking around as we waited and a staff member approached us to remind us it was closed. We were not sitting, but the toddler neede to walk around a bit. This establishment is not kid friendly, as noted by a single high chair that needed to be wiped down.
The chicken is nice and crispy and the puffs are fluffy.
Stop by if you ever need to order a full cake they have been able to do this for me before.“
