30 Best American Restaurants in Newport News

“The food was good, I fasted all day because they had a three course menu for their restaurant week and our server was great. We were greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant is so small and cozy so it’s great for a date, however the only thing that went wrong was there was a table full of a bunch of rowdy, loud people. I know it’s not the restaurants fault, but I wish they would tell them to sthu because wow I couldn’t even hear my friends sitting directly across from me. They were soo freaking loud, I head all of their business. There was one lady with a giant mouth who just had the loudest, most obnoxious laugh. I feel like she ruptured my right ear drum.“

“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“

“Legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had, the Valkyrie burger definitely gave me a true taste of Valhalla … this Maryland girl will definitely be back for another ?“

“Byrds is just about as good as you can get when it comes to a Mom & Pop.
The quality of food is impeccable, the service is seamless, and they respect the value of your dollar.

Definitely one of my favorite spots of all time, and I selfishly hope their doors stay open for a long long time!“

“Our server Jake was awesome! Super attentive and helpful. Good and drink on point as always. We will be back!“

“it's the best food in town“

“Ordered 2 nights in a row. It is so good!! You can not go wrong ordering from here.“

“Very friendly and accommodating to our large lunch party. Positive comments from co-workers all-around. Fresh, flavorful food. We definitely were not under fed, a few had food left to box after, but quality is more the focus rather than quantity.“

“Absolutely in LOVE with this place! Cat was absolutely amazing! she was quick and attentive, great customer service. would definitely come again.“

“The Chicken and Dumplings were delicious . Was disappointed that there were pieces of bone in it.“

“Food was delicious!! Barbecue was so good! Ribs were smoky, brisket tender, pulled pork tangy. It all went together perfectly. The staff and owner Mark are so friendly. Love the atmosphere!“

“No joke I have been coming here every single day for the last 2 weeks right when I get off work, and one thing I can say that is the food is amazing and the young guy at the counter is cool and does great business. I recommend you tell everyone you know about this restaurant.“

“Pam, CJ, Kevin and all the other grille employee's are amazing. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive and CJ knows his way around the kitchen. Man makes the best wings I've ever had in my 38 years. His steaks are cooked to perfection and I haven't had the opportunity to try a burger yet but that's next on my list. Overall I would definitely recommend the Garden Grille to any and all in the Yorktown/Newport News area!“

“Love the wings and the beef Bulgogi..I never had a bad experience there. The person taking the orders are always polite and courteous no matter who it is. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Great food, very fresh! We came on a Sunday shortly after opening and they got our food to us quick and it was very good. Staff was super nice and helpful in making a choice of which option to get. Dining area is comfy and well lit. Really enjoyed our visit!“

“Interesting menu items. The bathroom is a little different. I stop off here infrequently on my way to training or if I have other business in the area. The family has great service skills and are efficient owrking large crowds during lunch.“

“The owners are super nice. Our food is always hot and delicious. I always get two pork chop sandwiches with tomato lettuce and onions with French fries and two egg rolls. I may even drink a beer while we are there. It's a chill place to go and shoot pool and listen to some good music and laugh with friends.“

“We had the King Suite and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom was big and so was the living room area. There is only one bathroom so our daughtet had to use the one in our room. Although the pull out couch was okay she preffered the roll away bed that they provided when asked. When you walk into your room there is a switch by the door that you must turn on to turn the bathroom lights on and off in the bathroom. The bathroom was a nice size with good lighting. The floor can be a little slippery when wet. It may have been the type of tile. The pool area was very nice and enjoyed. The lobby area is a nice size. Oh although you cant tell the King Suite door closes and locks. The staff was very friendly all the time. When ever we needed anything they were there to assist. Overall I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Besides the one bathroom in the suite I would give 10 because of the confort. If continental breakfast was availablenit would have been 12“

“Ok hear me out this place is so GOOD, it was my FIRST TIME trying it out , definitely coming back !!! ok the reviews had me scared however, I actually see people going into this place DAILY . I tried for myself and got a chicken sandwich combo and tenders with fries(21$) The guy in front was very nice and polite and the wife was the cook. From the menu I wasn't expecting much and with them being across from the shipyard don't expect huge portions - their clientele are working 10 hours shifts with 30min lunches lol ? . However the portion should fill you up decent . My food was made to order which I appreciated , had I not wanted to wait I would've called it in. Clean but dated environment but again their clientele is ship yard so people aren't eating inside. Again food is GREAT ??“

“Delicious! No regrets about going there!!“

“Amazing fresh food! Friendly staff! Great prices, quality and atmosphere!“

“food was great, the restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait. Our server Morgan was exceptional, she had several people to take care of, and she done it without missing a beat. will definitely be back and ask for her.“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“Good food. pool tables and fun times“

“I usually call ahead so when I go on lunch I can just grab it, pay, and go. Even if I don't call ahead of time the food is made quickly and tastes fine. $10 for a bacon cheeseburger with a decent amount of fries and a canned drink is honestly the best deal you'll get around here as a shipyard worker, at least in my opinion. They aren't rude, as some other reviews have said, they're just blunt. And I respect that. All in all 4/5 stars and I'll continue to eat here.“

“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.“

“Great fries! Bulgogi good but not korean marinated. Got only half my order and had to return and wait for remaining half. Got home second time, they still forgot the slaw. Will give them another chance.“

“Excellent service. Amazing short order food. Get hash browns on your breakfast sandwich; it’s a game changer.“

“Once a month (sometimes more) I come to Fin for an amazing cocktail dinner. The mixologist Christine raised the bar with her creative dinner pairing one of a kind cocktails with fabulous 3 course tapas. Find her at the bar with good suggestions and an evolving menu of cocktails for all seasons. I am always welcomed by the owner Ellen with a smile. Whether you are with a group on a date or dining solo I highly recommend Fin!“

“I love the food the food is delicious to gives you a nice size portion and you get your money's worth will definitely recommend this to other people“
