31 Best American Restaurants in Hampton

“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!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“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“

“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.“

“My wife and I went there yesterday afternoon after a date day. We had the Loaded Nachos as an appetizer. We then ordered the "Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders" and a "The Classic Burger". The loaded nachos were a huge plate. My wife and I had discussed going to a chain restaurant later in the evening for dinner while we were waiting for our food to come out but immediately changed our minds when we the seen the size of the appetizer. All the food looked good and tasted great also. The only negative thing we thought of the visit was the fact that the sodas we had come in a 12 ounce can and we were charged $2.49. We only drank the one can because we did not feel that we were able get free refills and that expense seemed way too high for one 12 ounce can of soda. We did enjoy the location, the multiple TV's and variety of programs playing on them. This place at 230 in the afternoon felt like a very relaxed place and we will come back again.“

“Fast friendly people, had a burger it was delicious. It was the veggie burger and it was really good, cooked with the perfect toasted bun and toppings. I’ll try the actual beef burger next time everything on the menu looks good and since it’s made to order I’ll be back!“

“Our favorite place for breakfast“

“I enjoyed spending time at this bar during my recent visit. The location was clean, organized, and easy to access. Employees were friendly and attentive, helping create a pleasant atmosphere. Everything was handled professionally, and the overall experience was very positive.“

“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!“

“Absolutely fabulous burger and fries… you get a lot of food for your money. Very friendly atmosphere and employees were very welcoming. Can’t wait to try their steaks.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 😆“

“Great food and customer service.“

“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.“

“It’s always great to have an on site Resturant at your hotel and the Cyprus Grille at the Embassy Suites. We enjoyed the Embassy Suites evening reception however wanted a proper dinner and choose the Cyprus Grille. Got the burger and chicken wings. Bartender and Resturant staff were very helpful and friendly.“

“Freddy’s is a great restaurant that serves the best frozen custard in town. Reasonably priced and easy access. They also have a dining club that offers different levels of free food up to $10.00 off. The staff is friendly and that means the managers got it right in their hiring processes.“

“We went for lunch today and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was very good! We had a great server and the owner/ cook was very friendly and spoke with us for a while. I would recommend that if you haven't been here it is very reasonably priced and the food is good! We will be going back soon.“

“In my opinion, this is one of the best tasting BBQ places around for the price! This time I had the BBQ half chicken and ribs. Both excellent, tender and juicy. Had enough for leftovers the next day. Lots of other items to choose from on the menu. Their collards are great too. Every time I'm in the area, I go there.“

“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“

“food was great my people was intown and loved it very reasonable and nice atmosphere“

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

“If you eat here ask for Lexi she has a great personality is friendly and she knows the best flavor wings on the menu, I will definitely visit again if I’m working in the area“

“food is good, service is great and Stacey is an outstanding Bartender. will be back.“

“Stillwater Tavern is a staple in downtown Hampton. Located close to The Virginia Air and Space Center and Hampton Marina makes it a great spot to relax, have a cold drink and a great meal.
The atmosphere is a neighborhood pub feel with a friendly staff and the regulars who are there almost every day. There is nightly entertainment including line dancing, Trivia, Poker, Karaoke and Music Bingo depending on what night you're there.
The menu is broad including seafood, burgers and specialties like Gator Bites. My personal favorite is the burger with a side of hand-cut fries.
I definitely recommend to anyone visiting downtown Hampton.“

“We go here at least 1-2 x per week. The food is home cooked and delicious from their fried chicken, turkey wings, fried fish, and smothered porkchops. You cannot go wrong here. Just delicious.“

“Food is always amazing and fresh. The people are always very friendly. Fried fish. Fries, eggrolls and wings are perfect“

“My wife and love going here. The food was really good. The service was great. Our server was J. Trammic and he was excellent. The only issue we had was with fries on my plate. I had the lobster, shrimp, and Salmon. The salmon and lobster were covered in butter. The bad part was that the fries were on the plate when the butter was applied which soaked the fries in butter. This made the fries very soft and mushy.“

“The women who helped me out was very nice. Very quick service. Great food. I always stop in to a Waffle House when I’m down south. 😊“

“This location has gone down hill. Not sure who in the kitchen thought it was a good idea to send this out to a table, but this isn't a po-boy, its a shrimp sub with cheese.“
