10 Best American Restaurants near Hayes

“The Office has been my go-to spot for great drinks, great food, and absolutely stellar service for 5 years now. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're ever in the area and need a good drink, check this place out.“

“We always have a wonderful time at Riverwalk. My family and I always celebrate here for graduations, new jobs, anniversaries, and birthdays. I have celiac disease, and they always have plenty of gluten free options and are willing to accommodate. It really is difficult to find SAFE gluten free food in York County. FANTASTIC espresso martinis and love how cozy and coastal it feels in the indoor dining area. Food was delicious, huge portions, and I felt safe eating here!My husband and I came for our 4th wedding anniversary, and the manager, Brad, and our server, Corey, were wonderful. Brad is quite knowledgeable in the gluten free department. Good food, good service, and yummy options for the celiac community. THANK YOU Riverwalk! We will continue to dine here for many years to come.“

“The caterer for my wedding on 6/14/25 backed out the night before with no refund. Patriots Grill was able to come through in the 11th hour and help us out. Everyone was fed and happy, the food was great, and I cannot thank Gabriel and his team enough for their empathy, help and support. A wonderful family owned place with a great heart!“

“Not a fan of the ordering process. Stand in line at the bar and place your order over the counter. Guess it's a staffing issue but having to wait in line for 10 minutes isn't a great start to a meal.
Food was decent if a bit pricey (what isn't these days!)“

“Ever experience is absolutely amazing! Just went back for the second time for our anniversary. Making reservations was super easy, and I definitely recommend doing so. Service was phenomenal from the hostess to the waiter and every one else we encountered. Food? 100/10. The Thai brussel sprouts are soooo good, and every entry we’ve tried has been perfect. A great place on Main Street!“

“my wife and I have been coming here for a few years now, and it has always been a great place to stay and eat. The cool salty breeze off the river and the pleasant atmosphere as well as some really good food!“

“We had a great experience at YROC Coastal Grill. Elli was an amazing waitress—super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing.

I ordered the salmon, and it initially came out a little smaller than expected. Before I even had a chance to say anything (and after I’d already filled up on the pickle fries 😅), the kitchen proactively made an entirely new salmon for me. That level of customer service really stood out—they truly care about quality and guest satisfaction.

Great food, great service, and a team that goes above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back.“

“First time here , recommended by Tracy, great home town environment. Great staff and food!!! We will be back for sure!“

“This Cafe is in the McDonald Army health center on Fort Eustis. Convenient for staff and patients to use. Prices are a little high but the food is more than fair.

Parking: Parking is available. You just may have to walk a short distance to enter the Clinic.

Kid-friendliness: All children must be accompanied by an adult

Wheelchair accessibility: It is a medical clinic, so everything is accessible.“

“Our server Maegan J. was great, she was prompt, polite, was afraid to share her opinion on dishes, proper check back times on both appetizer and main course.
The atmosphere was quiet and appeared to be clean in the front of the house, now, that said, I can only speak for the mens lavatory, good lord almighty, that needs to be addressed, the urinal was caked in old urine, the sink looks like it hadn't seen proper attention and the toilet itself, I didn't even bother to look! The food was good, our server was great, and the front of the house team appeared to work together, but the bathroom was a major fail“
