Restaurants in Portsmouth

“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!”

“Came over here 👈 ( From Norfolk ) just to check out the Pickle Festival, that Irish Red I ordered was very tasty, this place was getting crazy even though it’s raining 🌧, looks like everyone was having a great time, I definitely need to come back here.”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Great atmosphere and food”

“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 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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“Baron’s in Portsmouth great food, cold beer and live music!”

“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.”

“Good times downtown Portsmouth High Street”

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

“We haven't been to Yard House at Rivers Casino in Portsmouth for years. We were pleasantly surprised . The ambience was just right. The Gluten free Menue was extensive and very much Appriciated. What made the evening special was Grace , our wait server . Her congeniallity, attentiveness and professionalism made the evening. She has set the bar high for future dinning experiences. Congratulations Grace.”

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

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

“We recently attended the Jackson concert at Rivers Casino in Portsmouth, Virginia, and purchased seats in Right Row D, Despite being three rows from the front and on the right, these seats provided an obstructed view that severely hindered our ability to see the show. NO SCREENS, just a Black Curtin, for the price we paid, this was incredibly disappointing. It's clear that these seats should have been sold at a much lower price, considering the poor visibility. We even have pictures to support our experience, which show the obstructed view from our seats. Rivers Casino should be ashamed of themselves for selling these tickets at such a high price without warning customers about the view obstruction. We expected much better and hope they address this issue for future events.”

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

“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!”

“Food is delicious!!!! First time trying it today. Might return tomorrow.”

“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!”

“I would like to thank Kautious for her wonderful service. She’s cute and polite. Gave us wonderful customer service. My treat was a true tropical delight.”

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

- Got the cinnamon bun cheesecake it was so yummy nice and cold
- Also got the brookie cookie which was so yummy 😋”

“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 ?”

“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.”

“Boba taro milk tea so good . Be back soon”

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

“Fantastic experience! We will be returning.”

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

“Awesome staff and great beer and food! Family friendly and fantastic specials throughout the week!”

“The Barrel 2 is awesome!!”

“Authentic Jamaican cuisine very heavy portions of pure tastiness I've tried a lot of spots across the 757 nothing even comes close food prepared proper perfectly seasoned nothing is to salty or too sweet I can't stay away I have to go get some at least once a week and it's a 30 min drive but so worth it every single time may God continue to bless those wonderful ladies in that kitchen if you a foodie like me pull up give it a try”

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

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

“Fairly mid. I went there with a friend as a last hurrah before she moves and it took us 15 minutes to find the building. Its in the same building as the burrito restaurant and the sign was really hard to see. We find it and we stand there for 10 minutes not knowing if we were in the right place because the decor made it very clear that it was the burrito place and we weren't very sure where to go. The owners were very nice and just said that we could sit anywhere and would bring us some menus. We get settled and order and it takes about 25 minutes for the them get started on making our rolled ice cream. 45 minutes later we have 2 of our 5 ice creams. Another lady comes in and finishes our order in 25 minutes. I'm not sure if the first lady was a trainee or wasn't trained specifically for the ice cream side of the restaurant, but took a really long time to get our ice cream, but overall it was a super fun night. The ice cream was ok, and I would probably go back just because of the vibe. Not something you should do if you don't have a lot of time or if you want super good quality rolled ice cream.”

“So much fun as a drive through. I have tried about 4 different drinks now and have not found 1 I didn't like. First found them in Texas and was very glad when they came here. They are busy but the line keeps moving. And the price is much more reasonable than that other place. (you know who I'm talking about)”

“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.”

“This is one of our go to take out places as a family. The Hawaiian BBQ Family Meal is an amazing deal and always satisfies us. We usually get the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, and kalua pork. Everything is always delicious! It’s a must try!”

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

“This is my favorite local Coffee Shop! The White Chocolate Latte and Pimento BLT were magnificent!!! OMG this place is absolutely amazing!!”

“Great service and authentic Thai food. Tom yum had just the right amount of heat, and very generous with the shrimp. Beef fried rice was delicious. Despite east coast, food was Thai through and through.”

“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.”

“Food was Delicious and very well priced!!”

“The food was fresh and tasty.”

“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.”

“Fresh and Full Salad Bar Every Day!”

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

“Every time we've been to this restaurant... exceptional customer service, very friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh, delicious and huge portions.”

“best in Hampton”

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

“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!”

“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 ..”

“Top notch customer service. Tasty cake. Claire is awesome. I live in Florida and had to order a cake for a party I was hosting in Virginia. The process was smooth and Claire was so nice and very helpful. All my guests absolutely loved the cake. 5 stars!!!”

“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!”

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

“First time ever! The food is amazing. And, if you custom your own tacos add the habanero sauce. Bravo 👏 to the owner!!!”

“Fantastic and fast Mediterranean fare. Will definitely be back!”

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

“For almost half a century this place has had the best subs in town. When I was a teenager, my uncle would buy these for me and his family every pay day. I'm 51 now and I stopped in yesterday with one of the cousins. It has been 35 years and they still taste the same, delicious! It so hard to find anything that is as good as it was back in the day so I really appreciate this place.”

“This is our go to Chinese restaurant and has been for about 15 years. We always order the boneless spare ribs, pork fried rice, beef and broccoli, and the steamed dumplings with the most delicious dumpling sauce I’ve ever had. You’ve gotta try it!”

“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.”

“I’ve had some pretty good Chinese food over the years, but Dragon City is at the top of my list right now. I have not had any issues and I’ve tried many different dishes. Friendly service, food always hot and fresh, many food options, and great portions! My favorites are the Salt and Pepper Shrimp and Coconut Shrimp. Pictured are the Salt and Pepper Shrimp and Shrimp Egg Foo Young! Check them out!”

“Love the staff at this location super friendly and great at making coffee. Kylie on the afternoon makes the best coffee and cold foam !!! She is also amazing and extremely personable !!!”

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

“China Sun food is the best, but that's not why I go there. China Sun service is the best, but that's also not why I go there. The China Sun furts are the best in the business. It's like putting Exxon in your car. It burns clean, you feel good about it, and it blows all the built up deposits out of the engine.”

“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 🤤”

“20/10 The cake was amazing!!! Nice and moist. I flew in from Amsterdam for my daughter’s 17th birthday and had one day to find a strawberry cake and I tried several businesses and had no luck. I found this gem on google and they did not disappoint, very professional and very clean. My daughter loved it and she had my order ready in less than 24 hrs. I will be back”

“Nothing like a Wheelhouse burger and fries! The staff here are top notch, and there's plenty of options. Cheesesteak is great; so is the BLT, panninis, and southwest salad.”

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

“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.”

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

“Great food! Great prices! Great atmosphere!”

“Aways friendly, ontime and delicious….been ordering for years and we are still ordering weekly… our only problem was no duck sauce once…..for amount of food and delicious ….the best value for chinese food in town…my favorite is pepper steak or egg foo young …have ordered many meals for whole family n never had problem with quality of the food”

“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 😊”

“The service was amazing!! The staff today were absolute angels. The drinks were amazing as well. This location is definitely one of the best. Restrooms and dining area was clean as well. 10/10. Literally no wait too.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Good food good vibes!!”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“Very polite staff. Very clean establishment. Fast service. Very loving environment.”

“Everything was great. There's no real atmosphere to speak of. It's just kind of like a take out place. The cashier was great, excellent customer service, didn't try to rush for me, and assisted me with a question outside of their business. Real cute too. I guess that's not really needed but hey that cute face can definitely brighten your day.”

“Great service. It was a little busy, with no clean tables but waitress looked up saw us and immediately cleaned a table for us. Our food came quickly and was hot. Coffee was good!”

“Staff is nice, plz get the super Philly because it has the most meat, yummy! My food was made fresh to order & hot 🔥 . The Philly wasn’t seasoned enough for me, but they provided extra garlic salt & it was perfect once added! The fries weren’t my favorite cut or texture, but it was hot & complemented my sub. The reese's  cup cookie was delicious and was a flavorful way to end my meal. This location is in desperate need of a remodel, but I’ll be back !”

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

“The best Chinese rice I've ever eaten is the one from here, live in Virgina Beach, I drive to this restaurant to buy the best Chinese food, I recommend them 100%.”

“Went there at night and the guy who took my order was super friendly and welcoming. He was super fast and very knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be coming here again. I believe his name was Nathan.”

“I’m giving this hotel a 5-star review largely because of the outstanding staff at the Crawford Restaurant on the first floor. Every member of the team was incredibly friendly, attentive, efficient, and professional. The restaurant was clean, well maintained, and the all you can eat buffet offered a great selection.

The customer service truly stood out and was some of the best I’ve experienced in a long time. The staff made every meal enjoyable and played a huge role in making my stay a positive one. I highly recommend dining here if you’re staying at the hotel.”

“Ooh Chile! Hunn-Nae! Ba-bby! Must I continue w/the expressions? THIS hidden GEM needs exposure; THATS HOW SEASONED & GOOD THIS FOOD IS! OMG. Recently, I was at work thinking about how I wanted some collatd greens, wondering where I could order some from. I googled and this spot popped up! I called , ordered & my son picked our food up. The call taker was so patient and professional. Items we've tried :mac n cheese, collars, yams, turkey chops, pork chops , dumpster fries ?& fried whiting ( the 3xs we 've ordered in 2 wks) Our food was sooo tasty that I tried calling back to see if they catered! ? So, if anyone reading my review enjoys soul food as much as my family does ,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LMSK!!♨??Don't believe me? Try it, you'll thank me later! ...easily give it 5 ⭐s?”

“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”

“I went during the lunch/afternoon time of the day and the dining staff there was so nice. I had the grilled teriyaki chicken with rice and I enjoyed it 😄. Would go there again 🤎”

“Used to go to another Chinese spot around the corner but haven't been back since we tried Shek's. The bourbon chicken, pepper steak, and chicken wings are all of our favorites. It's easy to order, always fast, and the prices are affordable. Go to Shek's!”

“Delicious! No regrets about going there!!”

“Love the Crabs. I'm there at least twice a week during crab season.”

“Brought our mother over here for another belated birthday gift and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. The food was great — filling, and the service made the experience even better. We will be coming back and hopefully we get Francesca our server again. 🙏🏻”
