“My wife and I have tried many places around the Hampton roads area and I think this place has just become our favorite. The food was fantastic, the menu fits on one page but everything they serve is thoughtfully prepared and tastes amazing. You can tell that the people that run this place care about putting out quality plates. The mixed drink options are also very good and we found it to be an all around fun date night. My only gripe/advice is if you get seated next to the door on a cold night it can get a bit drafty when the door is opened. Due to the size of this place it’s understandableParking: Street parking, on a busy night you may have to walk a bit but Hilton village is beautiful so it shouldn’t bother you to much“

“4.8⭐️I’m not sure what to say Matt…Your Macs was SMACKIN bruh!!! First timer here, and I didn’t know what to do. So I stood and waited off to the side for them to finish cooking so I could place my order. But Spider-Man was on the tv… so I might’ve completely zoned into that for a bit ? so when the young lady asked what the name on my order was, I just said I was waiting to order. She was like “Oh I’m so sorry!” Not her fault at all, like I said, I was too into the tv. I got the hubbs a regular BBQ chicken, and I got a regular Chicken Bacon Parm.I’m gonna be real guys, I’m not even a Mac n cheese lover. I like it, but it’s not a #1 pick for me. My husband it the Mac n cheese connoisseur.OH MY GODI don’t know what I’d add to that to make it better. We tried each others food, and THEY WERE BOTH AMAZING! The regular is big enough to share, idk who could finish a double. The prices are definitely fair. Thankfully I don’t live far, but I would drive to try this. Highly recommend. I wish the owner was there so I could’ve gotten a pic of them. But you’re doing a great job Matt! Can’t wait to try them all. ?“

Coffee was good and grabbed a seat at the community table (which meant no wait). Menu is extensive and covers typical American fare for breakfast and lunch. Got the breakfast tacos and swapped thr beans for potatoes. While it all tasted great the potatoes were on the salty side. For the tacos and just adding jalapeños doesn't denote flavor or mean is "southwest". Still great spot and would come back.“

“4.4⭐️My husbands coworker recommended this place and told us to make sure to try the deviled eggs. I do really like deviled eggs, so of course we ordered them. Very good, We cleaned that plate! We both got drinks. My husband got the Bloody Mary, I got the Peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches.I haven’t been drinking for about 5 months. WHOA WAS THAT STRONG. My husband said his Bloody Mary was strong too but I didn’t think so, not as strong as my drink anyway. I didn’t finish it.For food, my husband ordered the country fried steak, and I got the shrimp n grits. Both were very good! I’m not sure what sauce they put on the shrimp n grits but it wasn’t super spicy, the grits were kinda chunky, the shrimp was BIG. It was very good. And my husband said the gravy on his country fried steak was AMAZING, And wants to go back just to try the biscuits and gravy. I want to try the pizza! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was my drink, but that might be because my alcohol tolerance is super low. And my husband said the only thing he didn’t care for was the potatoes that came with his meal. But overall, we both enjoyed the brunch and would definitely recommend Kismet to anyone looking for a good brunch!“

“Our visit to Viking Burger was an absolute blast! From the moment we stepped in, we knew it was going to be a memorable experience. The place had this awesome vibe that just made us feel pumped up and ready to dive into some seriously good food. And let me tell you, we were not disappointed!Corey, our server, was like the MVP of the night. He had this infectious energy that spread to our whole group, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. His recommendations were spot-on, and his sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the meal. Seriously, Corey deserves a raise!Now, let's talk about the food. Oh man, where do I even begin? The burgers were out of this world – juicy, flavorful, and piled high with all the toppings you could imagine. And don't even get me started on the fries. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and served with a side of mouthwatering sauces that had us licking our fingers.But it wasn't just the food that made Viking Burger special – it was the hospitality. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. Whether it was refilling our drinks with a smile or stopping by to chat, they made us feel like part of the Viking Burger family.By the end of the night, we were stuffed, happy, and already planning our next visit. Viking Burger isn't just a restaurant – it's an experience. And if you're looking for a fun night out with friends, I can't recommend it enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Fins earlier this month on a lunch trip to Newport News, VA. It was my first time in this area, and I was very pleased with the inside and outside atmosphere of the restaurant. The colors, utensils, food, service, etc. were all top notch. Our server, Kameron, was attentive and brought out delicious flavors for us to try. As a long-time vegetarian, I broke my diet for this restaurant and do NOT regret it. I highly recommend the firecracker shrimp starter and their seafood pasta. The kitchen offered to make the dishes vegetarian for me, which was very nice given it is an upscale seafood restaurant. I suggest everyone tries Fins! Five stars.“

“4.5⭐️We showed up about 20mins before they closed, and didn’t realize it until after we ordered. They were closing everything and turning lights off. So we kind of rushed to eat. I got the grilled cheese pesto with chips, and my husband got the Reuben with fries. Everything was VERY GOOD. We just kinda rushed through the food so we wouldn’t keep them there. Not their fault at all, we should’ve checked the time they closed. We just didn’t get to relax and enjoy the food either. But everything we got was amazing and we will be trying them again. Definitely recommend.“

“A cool pleasant place on a hot day. As I walked in I was met by Penny at the bar who welcomes me and makes me feel right at home. She asked me my name and remembered it throughout my time there. Things were quiet and comfortable. There were 3 tables and she addressed all of us and made sure we did not need anything. The food was well prepared and timely. I had the club sandwich which was well proportioned, and, even after the pick was removed, held its shape. I cannot speak for the evening times there but I can highly recommend this establishment for lunch. If you follow my reviews I rarely give 5 stars because it is way over used and usually not sincerely thought out. Highly recommend.“

“My husband and I love to come here. We have never had a bad meal, and the staff is great.Today however was an exception... Our waitress must have been having a bad day because not only did she ruin the experience but I'm sure she ruined everyone else's. She was arguing with someone in the kitchen, telling him he wasn't a man, etc. The whole restaurant could hear her screaming at him. Then proceeded to bring her attitude to the tables. Not arguing just a lack of communication shoving things around.I think it'll be a while before we go back which is a shame and I will make sure not to have her as a waitress. Management should've stepped in!“
