“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.“

“A hidden gem - get the membership! Single ticket price is steep, but the membership is a great deal! You’ll find a new magical corner every time you visit. The natural trails throughout, the incredibly kind staff, the educational resources, the curated blossoms throughout the year, and the kid play areas are just some of the reasons this is my family’s favorite place. Had our kid’s birthday party here at the WOW Children’s Garden and was stunned by the kindness and helpfulness of staff Jessica and Susan. Great facility, great people!“

“We were in town for the night and a friend told us a out this place. OH MY I am so glad we went. Its a plate of big flavor. My husband had the chicken I had the filet..We talked to the chef after, very impressed and alot of experience under his belt. Wow is all I can say. We wish this place the best of luck“

“I love the atmosphere at Coasters coffee . I always enjoy my time there and appreciate the baristas recommendations as well.“

“Delicious and fresh amazing tea and desserts“

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

“One of the best views in Hampton/Fort Monroe and I always forget about It. If you are a fan of outdoor dining, this os right on a marina with views of the HRBT. The outdoor seats aren't the most comfy, but the food is outstanding. It sounded pretty loud inside.
Probably the best crispy clam strips I've ever had. We shared the 2 seafood combo and had amazing flounder and shrimp (we added the clam strips as an app.) Everything was fantastic.“

“Leah was awesome! Thanks so much!“

“I order pizza here most Fridays and it’s always delicious“

“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.“

“my favorite watering hole!!!“

“Such an incredible experience! Popped in unexpectedly and we have found a new spot. The space is gorgeous and so open. I had the lavender coffee which was just mind blowing and hubby had the vanilla cold foam. We will definitely be returning!!!!“

“Thanks for the best coffee drink I’ve had in a really long time! See you soon.🙂“

“I came from northern Virginia 3 hours away to visit Norfolk and we stopped by penguins in my opinion the mango flavor with mango pieces was the best combination out of everything.I recommend this place to everyone in Norfolk either live or visit penguins and they are way better than the slurpee at 7-11 cause they don’t have the natural fruit like penguins does.“

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

“Stopped in to celebrate with good friends, I had the dark lager. It has a good taste but is not heavy like a Stout can be. They have a good variety of their own creations. I will have this again.
Went again last night, had a really good porter and sat on the patio and smoked my pipe“

“these donuts are so good! My kids loved watching the worker create each one individually with the toppings. 10/10 recommend“

“Great people, great staff, great crowd, great vibes….do yourself a favor and pull up….“

“Had to check this place out after seeing it on Triple D. Was worth the trip. Easily the best Cubano I’ve ever had, even after living in Florida for nine years. Food came out hot and fresh too. The fries tasted great with both garlic aioli and this hot persimmon lemon cranberry pepper sauce that was at the table. Will definitely be back if I’m in the Norfolk area again.“

“The food is superb and the customer service is an A+++. Definitely try the Mac and cheese and the brisket burger.“

“This is a 5 star place. We come here every other Sunday for breakfast. Staff is outstanding and so is the food. Gotten to know the staff and the owners quite well that we feel like family. Love this place.❤️❤️❤️“

“awesome place...great beers“

“Went there on Saturday afternoon and the service from the bartender could not have been better! He was so nice and accommodating and made some great recommendations. Will definitely go back!“

“Blackberry crush and Painkiller for beverages. Crab dip for an appetizer. Seafood pasta and Surf sampler for dinner. Food and drinks were amazing. Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was busy with large parties, over all great experience. We will return.“

“Great food, never dissatisfied“

“This spot is truly a hidden gem! The food was delicious and authentically prepared, with generous portions that hit the spot. The service was fast, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend dining here—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Awesome staff and great beer and food! Family friendly and fantastic specials throughout the week!“

“I loved this place! I’ve been to 2+ cat cafes and this is by far my fav. Very clean, cats were well kept, good ventilation, and the cafe adjacent to the lounge is very cute. Got a Matcha latte and it was awesome. 10/10 recommend, will be coming back.“

“This little place has a very diverse menu. The food is very good. The peach bubble tea is nothing short of amazing! The dining room is adequate and clean. However, the decor is very basic. I had the Gen Tsoas Chicken with white rice. It was delicious. We waited a very long time for our food, but it was hot and delicious. Our server was not necessarily in a very good mood. Point given back because it was around 7 p.m. when we sat down. One of our dinner companions grew up in Hawaii. She gives the cuisine a thumbs up as authentic. She especially loves the macaroni salad.“

“Warm, inviting, friendly venue to talk fly fishing 🎣🗽🇺🇸“

“The BBQ sandwich was very good. They did notofffer Brunswick stew but will in the Fall. I loved it. I cant wait to go back !!“

“We accidentally spilled our entire coffee all over our car driving away. I went back in to get a new drink which I was prepared to pay for. After explaining what happened Dustin made our day by preparing a new drink on the house. Thank you guys so much, excellent coffee. We come here all the time so we appreciate the gesture“

“A truly iconic place in norfolk that is a must see that I've been going to since I was a toddler with my dad always a great experience“

“First off, the food was delicious. I ordered the chicken wings with shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg roll, and. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly, even the fried rice was flavorful and not greasy at all. The service was fast and friendly. The staff greeted me with a smile and had my order ready in under 10 minutes. Everything was packed neatly and still hot when I got home.
Portions are generous for the price—definitely great value. I also appreciated how clean and organized the restaurant was, even during the lunch rush. If you’re looking for quick, tasty Chinese food that doesn’t taste like it came from a microwave, Chen’s Garden is a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is fantastic! I will definitely be back!“

“Man, did "BRIAN" ensure that a lukewarm host greeting was SUPERCHARGED with excellent bar area table service! Whoop! Whoop!

Seems to be a fun "regulars" neighborhood hangout & it was St. Patrick's weekend! ☘️ Brian's cocktails were awesome: a Crush & the Painkiller!!
I enjoyed my Fish Sandwich (fried Cod) & tasty perfectly cooked fries. House salads were fresh & the croutons must be housemade, they were delicious. But the STAR of the table: THOSE BUTTERY DELICIOUS OLD BAY WINGS!!! WOW! Some of the best!!“

“THE FOOD! Can’t wait to visit from MD and have more!!“

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