“My fiancé and I got the Thai shrimp and the pig and fig flatbread pizza, and both were absolutely amazing! One of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time”
“Choice Korean is such a fun spot! Their menu has a wide variety of offerings, including traditional dishes and fusion options. I’ve never had food here that wasn’t incredible. Their bulgogi dish is delicious, the wings are absolutely unreal, and they have lots of interesting drink options. Choice serves LARGE portions and are very generous with sides and appetizers, so expect to leave full!”
“Indoor dining with romantic atmosphere. Excellent staff and very attentive.”
“We have been eating here for a while and it’s only ever gotten better. The staff isn’t just help, they are kind and friendly, very attentive and prompt. Even the kitchen staff was more than happy to answer question about how they make the rice (we had to know because it’s the best rice!). For the price, you simply can’t find a better meal. I’m able to eat hot pot, hibachi, and kbbq all at the same time! Also, their appetizers are outstanding!! 10/10 highly recommend and always will!!”

“Do not get the sample dozen box if you don't want to be plagued with learning that what you thought was your favorite donut is not because you've tried something new! If you don't like friendly customer service, don't talk to Mike. He will make sure to try and get you what you want and then some. And... if you like to search for donut filling this is not the place for you. It is not possible to not get some in every bite. If you are weak, bring a friend to help you carry these absurdly heavy, heavenly things. But if you do, you will risk having to share with them, so choose your person wisely. So bottom line that no thanks to you, I have found my new favorite donut shop ❤️ Well done guys! I'm so glad you are not on the way to my work as I would surely struggle to not stop there daily!”

“We stopped here during a visit to Yorktown. The food and atmosphere were excellent but the best part was our server Chrissy! She was attentive, fun and showed she really cares about the business and customer experience. She was very busy but I watched her give each table attention! We had a great time thanks to her!”
“There is a dedicate page for the vegan choices! Very delicious and the service is so friendly. Don’t let the outside scare you away. It’s great on the inside. Very authentic all around. They recommend typically take your spice level one done as that’s also authentic.”
“My son went there for mother/date night. Oh my God I can’t put into words how delicious the food is! The staff are very friendly and helpful with the menu. Food takes a while to come out but it’s worth it because it’s made very fresh! Drinks are off da chain! Support this Dominican business!!! Can’t wait to celebrate my 50th birthday party here!”

“Jerk chicken and Rice 🔥 Brisket Moist and Melts in ya mouth 🤤 Ribs have the best seasoned bark ever tasted 🐖 🪵 🔥 Mac N Cheese is ok. Nothing crazy. Baked beans were smoky and mild. Perfect. Inside ambiance could use a little more love and comfort. But overall great experience. Very friendly staff. Polite and respectful. Checked on us and made sure our food and experience was to standard! Good job guys!! Ill be back again!”
“OMG the food and service is AMAZING! I ordered the chicken tenders and let me tell you: sooooo freaking good! I wish all restaurants made their chicken tenders and fries like this. i even ordered empandas and their carrot cake to go. My husband and I are already planning the next time we go. Such friendly people and atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“This is one restaurant that never disappoints. Food is delicious and always served at the correct temperature. The staff is exceedingly helpful and accommodating. They have various evenings when there is a special menu, which gives you a variety from the main menu. Their once a month Dinner and Cocktail events are not to be missed. Their support of the World Kitchen during COVID was very impressive and all the more reason to be a regular patron.”
“Had a wonderful evening with the family - a party of 10. Our server, Tanesha (aka Slim) was polite, patient and entertaining. She made sure we had everything we needed for a great dinner.”

“My daughters favorite. The chef is the man, when a drunk guy came in and started bothering me for free food the chef stepped in and kicked him out. I had just said excuse me once and the staff was ready to kick ass for me, i was blown away. Great service and great staff. 100% recommend location.”
“I absolutely love this location. Every time I come in the vibe is immaculate, everyone is kind. And I don’t just mean regular “it’s my job to be nice” kind, they’re actually very kind people. There’s always a true warmness to their behavior and it’s my favorite part. The food is always great, service is quick and easy, and I love every second of it. Thank you Waffle House.”
“The wait staff was above and beyond on jun, 27th. The man who served my meal was very flamboyant and sweet . The playground area was wiped down right in front of my eyes. The cleaning man was also very kind .
Food was hot and order was correct . I also love that they finally added Mac sauce to the kiosk , because sometimes it's hard to get. I usually come to this McDonald regularly and I pick this over other ones in the area.”
“I’m not gonna give a review yet cause I haven’t ate the food, but I will say for a McDonald’s to have only one drive-through line and when I say they moving us through this 403 this is the fastest McDonald’s I’ve ever been to when I say I want fast food this is what I mean everybody deserves a raise in this 403”
“I came thru this morning and had been having a ROUGH WEEK! No sooner had I pulled into the drive thru I heard a warm welcoming “ GOOD MORNING THIS IS MS. Jean” … did my day turn around. She asked me how I was, she promptly and politely took my order and my mood lifted instantly. Thank you Ms. Jean ( and also thank you to the wonderful polite man who gave me my order as he is also very warm and professional) for making my morning just a little better. Simple kindness goes a long way. 🥰”
“Our experience was SUPER fun! Jeff our waiter… PHENOMENAL!! Food was fresh and did not disappoint!!”

The store is always very very clean which is important especially when you are buying food from a place. Overall just a 10/10 experience. Amazing customer service, amazing food, definitely worth every penny.”

“What an amazing experience at the Indulge Bakery and Bistro. I will always love coming here with my wife to enjoy the best breakfast Virginia has to offer! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff matches the energy of it well. Everything about this place is a 5/5 making you remember that home cooked meal that you would either wake up to or have later on in your day. It’s amazing and makes me wonder how. How is this place not all over the internet being talked about! Come try it out and see for yourself how great Indulge Bakery and Bistro really is.”
“1700 in Newport News is an absolute gem. Stopped in for a flight and left borderline obsessed. Every pour was a winner, the vibe was on point, and the owners? So lovely we almost asked to be adopted— still open to it. This place has heart, style, and seriously good beer. We’ll be back — probably too often.”

“My friend ordered the calamari as an appetizer and spicy ramen for her main course. I ordered fried shrimp dumplings and spicy shrimp fried rice. Everything was packed with flavor, esp my fried rice and the chili oil was awesome. Packed with so much flavor. We wondered if it was made in house because it was so delicious. Definitely a wonderful first time experience.”
“Had lunch here for the first time today. Met a group of old friends. The wait staff was very attentive and accommodating to all of us. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their selections and most of us had enough that we had to take some home. One even ordered more food to go. We will definitely go back. Thankyou for a great experience. 💕”

Overall, it was a delightful experience that truly elevated our lunch gathering. Highly recommend this catering service for any event!”
“First time there tonight and I really liked it! It was quiet and not stupid packed, the music was loud enough to hear but not too loud to talk over, the food was decent (I got a well-done patty melt with tots), and my tab was very reasonable. My mixed drinks were a little on the weaker side, but I think most bartenders exercise caution with anyone they don't know... I just moved here from across the country so I will probably make this my new hangout spot!”
“Best seafood market in Newport News for real! The food is always fresh and tasty. The people working here are so nice and helpful. Service is quick too. I’m definitely coming back again!!”

“Solid sushi spot for lunch. One of the better AYCE type lunch specials. We frequent this spot alot for lunch though the parking lot can fill up fast. Really good lunch option for the price. Fast attentive staff as well”
“Our first time there, 5/10/24. My wife had the club sandwich and I had the Cubana. While our order was being prepared we both had a cappuccino. My wife could only eat half her sandwich. I should have also saved half of mine, I was stuffed. Way better in quantity and price than Panera. We split a piece of cinnamon streusel coffee cake and several cups of coffee. (free refills). The atmosphere was like eating in an old fashioned dinning room in a B&B. They have so much more to offer than I can put in this review. Try them out soon, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as we were.”
“the food was simply amazing 👏 the ladies working were super sweet!!. they did their thing today out in williamsburg!”

“The food was fantastic. Even the waitress was wonderful ❣️❣️❣️”
“We do delivery only. The food never disappoints, but the drivers never pay attention to the instructions in the app. We ask them to leave the food at our door, and they always stand there until we answer. That will always be my only complaint. Everything else is good.”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

LOVED HER! the food was really GREAT! plenty of parking, clean, clean restrooms, reasonably priced, good menu, my steak was cooked to PERFECTION!!! the only thing that was demi not good was the lighting, it's a little too dark, brighten it up a couple of notches...”

“I ordered pizza 🍕 earlier today 05/06/26 around 4:35 pm after work because I was starving and I got home with my pizza 🍕 and it was dry, not enough sauce on it 🤦♀ but I had no choice but to eat it because I live in downtown Newport News and the store is a little ways uptown 🤷♀”
“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Buffalo Wild Wings! From the moment I walked in, everything was great the atmosphere, the food, and most importantly, the service. My experience was made especially memorable because of my server, Brooklynn, who was absolutely AMAZING!
Brooklynn provided some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. She was friendly, attentive, professional, and incredibly welcoming from start to finish. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our visit, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. She had such a positive attitude and a genuinely kind personality that made the entire experience feel special.
Brooklynn is the kind of server every restaurant should want on their team. She was knowledgeable, patient, and made us feel like our experience actually mattered. She never made us feel rushed, and she handled everything with such a great attitude. You could tell she takes pride in what she does, and it definitely showed in her service.
I also want to give a special shoutout to General Manager Jess! She was very welcoming and professional, and it was clear that she takes pride in her restaurant and her team. Having a manager who creates a positive environment and supports her team really makes a difference.
That being said, Brooklynn was definitely the highlight of my visit! She deserves to be recognized for how incredible her service was. Buffalo Wild Wings is lucky to have her, and I truly hope she gets the recognition she deserves because employees like her are what keep customers coming back.
Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and AMAZING service. Huge shoutout to Jess for running a great team, but especially to Brooklynn for making my visit so enjoyable and memorable. I will absolutely be coming back and hopefully I get Brooklynn again!”

“I got a gluten free and dairy free create your own and they were so thorough. The manager called me and made sure of the severity and what they do to prevent cross contamination. They kept free breadsticks in a separate bag as requested and when I got there they called me and told me my allergy food was ready and had a manager bring it out. Very very good service!”
“11/13/2022 Lunch with friends today. As always food was hot and cooked to our liking. Never disappointed. Today it was especially good. The Super Young Lady we had as a Server, her name was Rachel was an absolute pleasure!! All of us said the same thing. Attentive. Super Personality and just couldn’t have been any sweeter. We all brag about the food; but Young People like this deserve recognition and hopefully Management let’s her know how much we enjoyed the food, but she was the highlight of the meal. Excellent Job Young Lady!!”

“With it's great staff, amazing atmosphere, and flavor filled beverages, Pangaea is truly a breath of fresh air. An unmatched world experience, greatly needed this side of the water. I have found my happy place.”
“Definitely a 5 star experience. The food, staff, the restaurant as a whole, amazing. Will definitely come here again. And will come here with friends next time so we can all experience this together! they sure know how to season and cook their steaks to perfection!”
“Royal Deli & Juice Bar LLC is a must-try! Alaa, the cook, made chicken over rice straight from heaven. The meat was perfectly seasoned and paired with fresh lettuce, white sauce, and just the right hit of hot sauce. Pure fire.
Nagi at the cashier gave amazing customer service and even hooked me up with a soda can to go with my meal. Friendly, fast, and welcoming.
Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!”
“Writing this almost a week late ahhhlalala. Food was super yummy for a mall restaurant, especially if you love heavy, filling, and very messy food (it will be DROWNED in sauce or cheese) Def worth my money. BUT!!!!! The main reason I wanted to write this was to give a huge compliment to Stella I believe her name was on the register? By far the kindest and most engaging employee I've had the pleasure of interacting with in the food court. She had something nice to say to each of my friends in line including myself, even off the register, catching me I was walking around 💕 Honestly a passed vibe check for the whole staff, my buddy told me when he went back up there for his fries, the guy showed off his pokemon binder LOL
Always bet on wayback burger for lunch dude, so underrated”
“Our new favorite restaurant. The food is expertly crafted and cooked. The presentation is phenomenal. Portions were perfect and everything is made in house. Truely an amazing dining experience, and one of the best in the area hands down.”
