“Big Ups to Jackie!! Best Bartender here in Poquoson. Kept them drinks coming every-time i was low!! Great food and awesome service and attitude! Come visit this lovely lady you will not be disappointed!!! Great everything!!“

“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 ?“

“The best food!! And the wait staff is so pleasant“

“My girlfriends and I tried their dining experience yesterday and we were not disappointed at all. Our server, Cat, was amazing! We started with some drinks, which she made and OMG the Belle Isle, which has Lavender Moonshine in it, is now one of my favorite drinks! 🍹 We had the fried oysters and crab dip appetizers. The oysters were so fresh and was battered and fried perfectly, I must say. The crab dip with pita bread was so delicious! We all said we could have eaten that and would have been completely satisfied. We all ordered the same entree, the Cobb Salad, with ranch dressing. Everything was so fresh! To top everything off, we visited The Market, which is their pastry/bakery shop. I purchased the HoHo cupcake, a lemon zinger cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. I’ve eaten some of the lemon zinger and it is delicious! The General Manager was very nice and shared with us the history of this wonderful establishment. This is a place where you can take your family, have a nice day or night date, they have space for a private party or if you just want to have a nice meal at the bar. I am definitely returning. Five ⭐️ for me all day long. 😁 p.s their bathrooms are very clean and each bathroom have their own unique styles 🤭 THANK YOU @Mac Specialz for recommending this place!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“it's the best food in town“

“💐✨ best food for your bucks ~ laid back relaxed Country meets Coastal kinda cool ,,“

“The BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT IN TOWN! Amazing grilled cheeseburgers and phenomenal chicken sandwiches! Friendly service with the most beautiful smiles :) Melt in your mouth chili cheese dogs! Thank you for having us for a Hidenwood Elementary School Spirit Night and our PTA meeting. We had a blast!“

“Anytime we have come here for lunch or dinner, the food has been excellent. I would recommend to anyone, who is in a hurry, but wants more than the regular fast food places this is very unique, and the price isn't bad either. Friendly Service“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Tried this place with my lady and it was pretty dope. Lots of wing flavors to choose from and the cashier is really laid back knowledgeable and even told us some of his favorites. Prices are a little steep but what food isn't these days? Worth it!“

“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!“

“Food was actually quite good and quite a bargain. I tried to be healthy and hit the salad bar with my meal, but you should know this was the most expensive part of my meal…my $9.50 lunch would have been $5.55 without my small salad. A good price with it, a steal without it.“

“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.“

“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! 😆“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food. pool tables and fun times“

“Great food and customer service.“
