“Great food, great drinks, great service; have never had a bad experience at HSP. Even when the restaurant is full you can tell they do their best to make sure every guest has a great experience. They also have sweet shirts!”

“We were blown away by the food tonight! So many amazing options and every single dish was delicious!!! Perfect place for a romantic dinner with my husband. Definitely will go again! Christopher took great care of us too!”

“The food was absolutely divine! Im so glad we decided to try them out. The service was very fast, the waiter was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, trendy, and exciting. The Jumbo Sea scallops were the biggest I've seen. My husband said it was the best steak hes had, and trust me, he eats a lot of steak! Oyster Rockefeller was mouth watering and the seasoning used on the broccolini was a different taste but very good! They definitely have some awesome cooks here!!”

“If you are looking for good food and good people this is where you wanna be. Grown and Sexy Vibe. The staff are the best!”

“I recommend the food but would hope that the very inconsiderate customers that TOOK A CALL ON SPEAKER PHONE FOR OVER 15 MINUTES, would stay home next time!”

“MOMAC is rated a 10 ! We drove from Yorktown to drink Wheat beer, Hefeweizen and see Landon . Great atmosphere and great staff Landon and Mike took the best care of us , good brew, music and people.
Definitely worth a visit.”

“We are forever a fan of this bbq…and that Mac n Cheese!!! We look forward to this at local events. Best smoked bbq around.”

“Post Secondary Brewing is truly a gem in Portsmouth. The beer is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, and there’s plenty of space! Whether you’re bringing little ones, relaxing with your furry friend or looking for some games to play, there is something for everyone. They always have something new to try snd have plenty of non alcoholic options as well.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the owners and staff. They are incredibly kind, inviting, and genuinely take the time to get to know you, which makes every visit feel special. Don’t miss out on this local treasure!”

“I had a small graduation party for my son and the staff was absolutely wonderful!!! The waitresses and staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was amazing as always. I can't thank them enough for helping to make my son's day special ❤️ 10/10 I highly recommend.”

“My friend had a birthday party dinner for me at this location, and I must say, I had a fantastic time. The food and drinks were delicious, and the DJ played a great variety of music.”

“I drove 3 hours 20 minutes to this yard house got my order the bok choy was missing from my orange chicken I called and asked what happened to the bok choy and the host told me that they ran out of bok choy right before my order and they just got a truck in and the bok choy is now back I would definitely return soon because I love your house but I just don't appreciate the lies. I also open the yard house down in Austin Texas and I know that's not how service is supposed to go but again it's a great establishment so I definitely will be back.”

“Fries salty & shrimp wet! Who sends someone this to eat. My co-worker tried to eat it but he could not either. $24 waste & missing item”

“I never go to clubs anymore, went out last night anyway to meet associates that were supposed to be here. Found out later I was in the wrong location😑 Got another drink and chilled out anyway, any place that gets packed, no drama, and at least has gorgeous bartenders, (like the one in the black dress who told me no Absolut to go with my cran and red bull, no more Jameson😫😂) hey lol I already paid the cover and was in a good spot. I'd go back next time I bar hop in Portsmouth.”

“Lunch menu is A-1! Wings and fries and delicious. Great location. Highly recommend ✅✅✅”

“I jerk, chicken eggrolls, very nice atmosphere. On Wednesday nights karaoke service was great.”

“Great place to be in the 757”

“Mom and Son Thai Kitchen is the best Thai restaurant that I’ve tried. My family loves it as do all the family and friends that I’ve recommended it to. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. I’ve always liked Thai food, but I LOVE the Thai food from Mom and Son Thai Kitchen. It is very fresh and full of flavor. Everything I’ve had tastes like it was made from scratch with love. My favorite dishes are the Thai fried rice, basil stir fry, Pad Kee Mao, and the Thai Noodle Soup. If you’ve never tried this place, go try it ASAP!”

“Staff is amazing and friendly, the raspberry white chocolate scones 🤌 if you're in olde towne, stop in for the white chocolate macadamia latte! 😍”

“Pizza was great, the crust was incredible and the sauce to cheese ratio beats any chain pizza store. There’s an amazing level of authenticity to appreciate and the staff are incredibly hospitable! The garlic knots were a phenomenal starter while I built up my appetite for the meat lovers pie! Definitely will be back with family and friends!”

“the food always taste good, fresh.. so many different types of dishes, consistent authentic flavor, always polite an always appreciative for your support..”

“just stopped in for the first time. staff is very friendly. Coconut Cappachinno was delicious. I also got a Caramel Crumble Bar that was out of this world. Great Job!!”

“I loveeeee this place! Definitely a must go to spot!”

“I’m not one to give a good review unless it’s truly worth it. One thing I don’t like is when people are dishonest about a restaurant’s food just for popularity. But when I tell you I traveled across the water today to get this food based on someone else’s review, their review was no lie!

I’m from up north and have tasted some really good food, and I haven’t gotten that same authentic taste in Virginia. I’ve also had authentic Jamaican food at its best, so I’m very picky. But when I tell you Yaad Vybz got it… they got it!!!

I had the oxtail, mac n cheese, steamed veggies, chicken soup and jerk pork. While I waited for my food, I tried their Love Potion drink that was on the happy hour special. Not only was it good, it was refreshing.

The staff was very sweet. One thing I want to mention is that a person who got her food before me was actually in tears because the server must have given her a kind gesture that I didn’t hear. The customer was saying how she had a bad day and the server made her day better. I was very touched by that interaction.

When I tell y’all, if you ever want some tasty, flavorful Jamaican food, this is the place to go, no debate! I will definitely be coming here from now on whenever I’m on that side of the water.

Food tun up!!! 🔥🇯🇲”

“Quality food at a fair price. Also I LOVE the convenience of being able to order online”

“If you are in the area....you HAVE to stop by. The BEST customer service, the BEST food, and VERY clean. I visit here about 3 times a week. On my off days I travel from Newport News to get it. I HIGHLY recommend them.”

“The barrel is an absolute awesome place where you can have a great time with a great crowd. The bands are amazing The bartenders are awesome and the atmosphere is untouchable. Really a great place to just have a great time. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to get out. The wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back!!!!”

“Came here after a visit to the children's museum. Had a rowdy toddler, and the server could not have been sweeter with him and with us! The food was awesome and she even threw in a free soup. Could not suggest more!”

“Went to restaurant on my son birthday Friday morning around 11 the food was delicious well seasoned definitely soul food cooking was my first time there & surely will not be my last. Keep the good food taste the love in it ?”

“Fresh and Full Salad Bar Every Day!”

“Food was Delicious and very well priced!!”

“I posted this before but forgot to put the ratings in. Their deluxe stromboli and sweet iced tea can't be beat. It's all I get.”

“Great food, great ambience. The service left a little to be desired, but that's ok because the food made up for it. I would air on the side of more mild if you are sensitive to spice. I love spice, and typically order things medium or hot when at a thai place, but their medium spice level green curry was almost too much to handle for me, so if you are sensitive, definitely go for the mild.”

“We have been here 3 times & each time the food taste better than the time before. Staff is very friendly & polite. Highly recommend!!!”

“We eat here once or twice a week. Can’t go wrong! Top shelf frozen margaritas ❤️❤️”

“great experience & product everytime! the people working are always very kind and the prices are AMAZING (a full mason jar of jelly + brioche bread loaf + an extra snack = 6$!!!!) For such affordable prices compared to big grocery stores, id make the stop everytime especially to support a small business helping the community! by far my favorite corner store in the area!”

“Great Caribbean food, nice portions, reasonable prices! The jerk chicken, oxtails, cornbread, cabbage, peas and rice were delicious! The staff is friendly. Fyi…there are no tables, its take out.”

“good food, good service and good price 💕💕💕 amazing food I'm addicted 😋”

“Best food ever that wait was definitely worth it❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Ordered the chicken bowl and crab cake meal. Very good !!! Ordered via Uber Eats and my sauce was all over the bag maybe different containers ? But food was VERY good !!!!”

“excellent service! food was awesome.. Buffalo Shrimp & Fried Flounder..Perfect”

“Very good place hard to find these days, BLT are my favorite the staff is always busy on serving customers hot dogs are also good very comfortable eat in too keep it up ..”

“I love their Max sub with ham, turkey, roast beef, I love their crushed peppers & you can also purchase a $1 cup of crushed peppers to go it works good with sandwiches at home.”

“Fabulous fried seafood at good prices. Just as good as the more expensive places, but with much faster service.”

“Delicious food and very fast service, we had a party of 15-20 and from the time we sat down, and the waitress checked us out. About 45-60 minutes total. Ridiculous. Food was on point, able to understand English enough to get my order correct on the first try.”

“Our first visit after fellow workers brought back lunch and I saw the food and portions, it looked and smelled great! I took my family there for lunch on Saturday, everything was excellent, they were slightly busy, yet they greeted us with a smile, asked if it was our first visit? They helped us by telling us about all the food, which was plentiful and had great taste. We all had Jerk Chicken white meat with 2 sides, green beans and sweet potato. I recommend completely!”

“The food was fresh and tasty.”

“We’ve eaten here about 5 times now I think and I specifically waited to make my review until we had been a few times at least. The consistency of this place is on point, which is amazing because we’ve been trying to find a good take out place for a while now where we knew it would be good every time and this place has got it going on. Their food is amazing. This is the only place we go for Chinese food now and we even drive 40 minutes to get here it’s that good. We personally love the beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and the sesame chicken.”

“The lady’s in the drive thru are always really sweet and the food is very fresh. This is my favorite location☕️🍩”

“I love DJing Thursdays at the best restaurant in Portsmouth: the vibe is amazing along with the staff. @djsharp-copeland.”

“They have good food, cheap prices and cloth napkins.”

“Food is good and affordable, have eaten here many times and have only once or twice gotten something different than what I ordered. But they are quick to fix it.”

“Great coffee. I just got disappointed it’s always out of peppermint for mocha”

“Anita and Shelly are absolutely phenomenal baristas. The service is impeccable and my order was right. Met the manager,Joe he came and greeted me and provided that green apron service the brag about to see if my order was satisfactory. Loved the people that served me with a smile.”

“Stopped by as I was leaving an appointment. Coworker recommended and they weren’t wrong. Got a chicken/cheese and it was sooo good! Planning to go again soon to get another one!”

“They need to put a mattress in the parking lot cuz now I’m in a food coma. Philly cheese steak slapped as hard as his spatulas on the grill 🤤”

“Very kind staff! Most recently I redeemed my bday reward at the drive thru for a croissant that I gave to my 7yo daughter. I was not in the best mood at the time but brightened up once my daughter told me “they wrote happy birthday” (look at the cute hearts!!). Sorry I didn’t notice at the time and thanks for going the extra mile to make me feel special! Also, a while back I went inside to order and remember that the associate was super kind to my daughter. Always a pleasant experience at this location.”

“Crown has the most delicious, delectable and amazing fish, Chicken and shrimp. I also love their French fries; seasoned to perfection, just can't eat just one!
I am a Southern Cook; when I don't feel like cooking I order from Crown Fried Chicken Restaurant.”

“I ordered yak during my lunch break but I didn't like the flavor, so I ended up throwing it in the trash. Everyone at work raves about this restaurant, so I decided to give them another chance and ordered shrimp egg foo young when I got off of work. And I am glad that I did, because it was very good. I will be returning.”

“Good times downtown Portsmouth High Street”

“We had a recent catering order for a surprise party! The ordering process and delivery process was super easy!! Food was great and everyone seemed to enjoy it! We will definitely use you guys again!”

“This is everything I could want out of a little shop like this I love the people and my food is always fresh and good seems family owned like most other places like this but doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a try”

“10 out of 10 recommend!!! Everything was fresh, presentable, and delicious!!! Thank you guys so much for a delicious meal for my girls night!!”

“OMG!! This is the best cinnamon roll I have ever tasted!!! We wanted to try something new and searched up cinnamon rolls. The roll was not overbearing with cinnamon, it wasn't too thick, and the icing was perfect. I am so happy we decided to give Lovin' Oven Bakery a try!! Chef's kiss 🤌🏾💋👩🏿‍🍳 Love it! Thank you guys for being everything we wanted and more!! They even added a free roll! 😉 😘”

“The absolute best wings in the Hampton roads area, better yet Virginia.”

“Hi 👋
I recently created a digital menu website for your restaurant and would love to show it to you.
Please let me know the best way to contact you.
Thank you 😊”

“Seems like the place changed names but their menu still showed this name, the food was pretty good but nothing too spectacular. I do highly recommend the pound cake, it was delicious, they were out of avocado for one of our burgers but the waitress was amazing and went above and beyond to make up for it. Just for that alone I recommend this place.”

“Brandon is amazing at exceeding expectations, I asked for as little Mariana sauce on my meatball Subway as possible and he went above and beyond to meet that expectation. My sub was delicious. Thank you”

“Good food for corner store chicken and shrimp. I travel across the city for the food. As I stated before corner store but it's in a shopping center on Towne point I'd. Police are often patrolling the area so relatively safe”

“Great food and great service! Owners are very nice!”

“A Pretty good little Chinese food Takeout restaurant, and the Lady owner is kind and friendly. I would definitely prefer to give them business instead of fast food drive thru nearby. I like good fresh hot food, good service and good price from a local business like this one. Thank you China Li, and keep up the good work!”

“Always ready to help, delivery is incredibly quick, and service is always the best! I don't know what we would do without these guys.”

“Great Service tonight, picking up food for my father.. Jacuzzi and Dewayne... Silva is usually here on the weekends.. But these guys are Awesome 👌 n they can Kook!!
Semper Fi”

“The food & drinks are great. A home cooked meal away from home and the service is out of this world. Staff is awesome! Check out breakfast and lunch, you won't be disappointed.”

“Oh my childhood!!!!! Went in today and had what I used to have with my mom when she was still alive and was transported back in time!!!! The tuna sub was amazing per usual!!!! The ingredients were fresh!!! The restaurant was clean and smelled great!!!! This is the spot!!!!”

“The Best Chinese restaurant around. You get a heaping amount of food, the friendliest working personal in a clean atmosphere. It's a small family restaurant who treats you like family and always smiling. I love Wong Kwok & my favorite is the Chicken Chow Mein. 😂 I come so often that they know my preference automatically.”

“Haven't been here in years because I moved states away but when I tell you I always go for their shrimp egg food Yung or they chicken yok. It never misses I literally grew up on their food. Now whenever I taste Chinese food in other cities I get sad and wanna cry because none will hit like mama chan's do”

“This location has done a real turn around, super clean and great staff. Even the trainees are great.”

“I love their pretzels. They need to expand to the Chesapeake Square, and Western
Branch areas. Well at one time they were in Chs Square. And it has been quite a while.”

“Great place and quick service.”

“My daughter had her wedding reception there on Saturday. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing”

“Very nice place. Urban Ice worker was very pleasant. She had a lot of orders at once and it took some time which was understandable. I haven't had rolled ice cream in years, so it was nice to stumble across the establishment again.
My only complaints... I had whipped cream on my rolled ice cream by mistake. But she did ask me again about whipped cream for my other order, which I actually wanted whipped cream on that one. Also, I didn't care for the consistency of the milkshake. I thought it would be richer/thicker, but it reminded of a Frosty which I don't like.”

“I work across the street from this place. It’s always my go to if I don’t bring my food to work. Very convenient to walk to I also love the staff for being friendly and interactive when they’re not busy. This place has been amazing with me. I definitely recommend a visit for this place if you haven’t done so!”

“there fteid fish country style and there shrimps”

“best in Hampton”

“Our new favorite seafood spot. Absolutely delicious! 😋”

“Don't put powdered sugar on your pancakes unless you're going to advertise it. When somebody tells you they can't have powdered sugar on their pancakes don't try to scrape it off and flip them upside down and hand them back. Get another Chef because the cook and the kitchen today was rude and did not care about any of the people that were there. Took forever to get food and when it did come everything except for the bacon and the potatoes was inedible. Listened to other people in the restaurant return food and listen to the chef give lip about it and say it was not his problem. Waitress was pleasant, she even tried to tell the cook that he couldn't scrape powdered sugar off the pancake but he did it anyway, only downside about her was that she was concerned about her phone than anything else. Will never return again. I should have paid attention that the reviews on this page are two years or more old. definitely not the place that was reviewed previously. Don't know what's happened but it's not good.”

“I ordered tuna club and a turkey and cheese sandwich. That tuna was so good! I ordered the turkey and cheese for tomorrow so I can’t give a report on that. But if the tuna is good I know the other sandwich will be good too. They were quick with the delivery too. On a Saturday!”

“Delicious! No regrets about going there!!”

“My mom and I went for lunch and got their flounder sandwich with fries. Very good! The fish was fried perfectly and the fries were seasoned and delicious. Very friendly staff.”
