“It feels weird to review the wheelhouse because it's such a cornerstone of the culture here. If you've been on base, someone has probably invited you to the wheelhouse - and for good reason. Inexpensive and delicious all-american fare with friendly fast service. Can't go wrong.“

“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.“

“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 🤤“

“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.“

“Admirals Steak and Seafood really impressed me. The food was amazing from start to finish, and the bread should honestly be illegal because it is that good. My dirty martini was perfectly made, and the ambiance set the tone for a great night. We ended up heading out to the patio to enjoy some live music, which was the perfect way to wrap up the evening. This spot has everything you want for a fun night out: great food, great drinks, and a great vibe.“

“We ate here for lunch the other day and I got the blackened salmon sandwich special, it was so delicious!! It would be awesome if there was some type of shade covering outside on the deck, alot of people were requesting to sit outside but with no shade it deters. But besides that the food and the service was great!!“

“there fteid fish country style and there shrimps“

“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.“

“service was guick, fast and professional. 👍👍👍“
