“The rock star staff at Grey Goose catered our wedding reception at Hampton Roads Event Center in May 2024. From our first phone call with Dana to the many follow up emails and menu adjustments the process was easy and Dana’s crew delivered nothing less than excellence on our big day. We were so pleased by the diverse catering options to create our custom menu of heavy horsd’oeuvlres, cheese board, meatballs, salads, and a bite sized dessert table was presented elegantly and most delicious! We did not want traditional catering with mass produced stainless steel serving troughs of food, but leaned more towards supporting local for a botique quality alongside an elegant presentation and Grey Goose delivered 100%. Much gratitude to Chef Dana, Chef Phillip, catering manager, bartender, and additional staff for going above and beyond anticipating our needs and quickly responding to every request and making our big day seemless and carefree. We love Grey Goose!!🪿“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food. Large portions. They have baked potatoes!!“

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

““Wow, what an incredible dining experience! Cibus Chophouse truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with a rich, savory flavor that just melted in my mouth. And the craft cocktails? Absolutely divine! The bartender's creativity and expertise shone through in every drink. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel like royalty. The ambiance was upscale yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion or a night out with friends. Overall, I'm so impressed with Cibus Chophouse and can't wait to go back! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could!"“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“The cutest little restaurant! Yummy food! Great service! I highly recommend the Chicken & Waffle Sammie!“

“We reserved the upstairs room for a group of 18 on a Saturday when they were super busy. Our server Brittany informed us that someone had called out so she would be waiting on us by herself. She was so delightful. The food was delicious and she kept our glasses full the entire 2 hours we were there. We will definitely be back!!“

“Greetings from Moore to Christ Ministries! With hearts filled with appreciation, we successfully hosted our 3rd annual Women’s Empowerment Event and we are incredibly grateful for your support and contributions!

We thank you again as we could not have done it with you! May God continue to bless you and your establishment as you have truly demonstrated the heart of community and sheer humanity. We look forward to the continued partnership! Moore to Christ Ministries Administration Rebecca Hall“

“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 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.“

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

“Michelle is wonderful! I was hungry but didn't want anything heavy. She offered some great selections and I had the chicken quesadillia. Food was great and her attention to customers was above and beyond. My stay here has been comfortable and relaxing because of people like Michelle. Thank you Michelle“

“Good food. pool tables and fun times“

“Yo the mission bbq out Hampton va they get 5 stars“

“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! 😆“

“Since I moved to Virginia back in 2019, this has been a staple meal for my family and I. Service is quick, food is always scalding hot because they just made it, and prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get. The bulgogi cheesesteak, the double cheeseburger, and the wings are all fantastic. Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance if you haven’t already; you’ll be thankful you did.“

“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.“

“We ate there April 4th 2025 and the food was amazing! I had the Cowboy BBQ Brisket Sandwich it was super tender and juicy and falling apart. My husband had the Cheesiest Burger, which as the name suggests is quite cheesy. Battered fried were crispy and flavorful. However the Mac and cheese did not live up to my husbands standards. I would still definitely recommend this place. It was absolutely delicious!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“I came to Baked today on a friend’s recommendation and I am already hooked. I eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches and theirs is the BEST! They chop up the bacon and it was cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly as well. This is not just a pizza place, they have breakfast, sandwiches, ice cream, a big wine bottle selection, full bar, gaming play area and cozy corner. It has it all!! I will be back to work from here and enjoy all they have to offer.“

“As a server since 2021 (4yrs) I will be returning. The cusine, service, presentation, atmosphere was incredible & phenomenal. My server was, Corey. Very attentive, personable, knowledgeable, meticulous. I drove to Newport News from Charlottesville Va. approximately over 2hrs, for a late birthday dinner ( he acknowledged the special occasion and even brought me a free dessert on the house ) The food for my table was coursed beautifully, silverware was removed and preset for all of my next course, I never had to ask for refills, empty glassware was removed from the table, before receiving my next cocktail. The only complaint I had was the blue claw salad (very odd to me) Perception is half of reality, and judging by service, I will be returning, and recommending this to all of my friends. Thanks Cory!!!!! I'll specifically request you when I return“

“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.“

“Highly recommend CG for catering your events! We called less than two weeks before our surprise birthday lunch, worked out a great menu selection and were so happy with the communication, service and delivery from Cassie and her catering team. The food was delicious, delivered early, and she helped answer all of my questions along the way. Will be ordering again!“

“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“

“Our favorite place for breakfast“

“It wasn't very crowded during my initial foray into this local eatery. I've lived up the street almost 4 years and never knew what I was missing. The burger was juicy and gooey, just like I like it ... topped with brisket and BBQ. Oh my gosh, it was really good, but very messy to eat. Thank goodness there's a roll of paper towels on every table! The macaroni and cheese was enjoyable too. Maybe next time I'll try their mac and cheese bites.“
