“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.“

“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.“

“Let me tell you! This might be my go to every time I come home to Portsmouth now!
I wanted to check out the casino and grab something to eat so we stopped in Yard House for the Poke Nachos. It happened to be happy hour and the bartender let me sample beer since I'm not a beer drinker. I really appreciated them letting me try before I buy!
We were seated in a booth and since it was Happy Hour, we ordered the poke nachos and brussel sprouts. Both were pretty good! Our waitress was getting trained, I think her name was TT. She was great! I would have never known she was new but her trainer was also amazing. Shot out to them two! I then ordered the beef bowl and my fiance ordered the wings. I really enjoyed the beef bowl but thought it was missing something so I added a light orangish sauce they had. I wish I remembered the name but it was bomb on top of the steak bowl. My fiance ordered the pepper wings and lemon pepper wings. They were both BOMB. Cooked to perfection and delicious flavor. The place was clean and had great views of the tvs every where! Happy Hour was half off appetizers until 6pm and the happy hour food was great options. You could eat a full dinner off the appetizer menu!“

“This place is a blast with alot of energy. There's a room for every type of vibe you might be feeling. 10/10“

“Great place with good food and good service! Very unique fare. Highly recommend it. Upscale bar also.“

“Went there on Saturday afternoon and the service from the bartender could not have been better! He was so nice and accommodating and made some great recommendations. Will definitely go back!“

“Went here last Sunday for first time and again this Sunday. If ur looking for classic sports bar atmosphere with football food/drink specials, this is it. Big place, good sized bar. It’s all about sports there - everyone wearing a jersey, tvs everywhere. Great specials like $15 domestic buckets of beer, even better food specials. My husband and I get a bucket of beer and like two big food specials and our tab is like $40. Everyone has great attitude. If ur looking for quiet spot, don’t go here. Lots of cheering and laughing. I wanna go here every Sunday. Great service as well.“

“After a show at the Naro Theater we walked over to the No Frill Bar and Grill for a late lunch. Four in our party, we had the Famous Meatloaf platter, Teriyaki Tuna pita, French dip, and Funky Chicken sandwich. The food is truly exceptional, everyone raved about their choice. My wife said the house made mushroom soup was the best she ever had. I also had a 'martini' with gin, lemon, St. Germaine, and topped with Sauvignon Blanc. To DIE For! This will be a go-to for us from now on!“

“Very fun place for music!“

“I've had great service every time I've been, amd THE FOOD. Oh my goodness, the food. Wings are SO SO SO good. Quite possibly the best wings I've ever had, anywhere. And even though the prices are low on their apps, the portions are normal sized and the apps themselves are VERY tasty. Really can't recommend this spot strongly enough.“

“great welcoming place. good food for a bar! friendly and attentive staff. nice atmosphere.“

“Fast casual with amazing food. Some of the best Indian food I've had in the last 25 years in Virginia.

Had the Chicken Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, Naan, tamarind and mint chutneys which were all delicious.

2nd visit
Chicken Vindaloo medium hot“

“Military or prior military and spouses only. Great atmosphere, great people!!! Correction: Just to clarify...E-7 to E-9 unless sponsored by a Genuine Chief.“

“first time there and the food was good company was good also can't wait to go back it's going to be on good night after work good place to go to“

“Stayed here during a quick trip to Chesapeake. Had a good experience. Meets expectations on: 1. Courteous front desk and staff - the front desk folks were very welcoming and friendly. Little things like going into the kitchen and getting me some fresh coffee (when the coffee in the lobby had run out), customizing my breakfast per dietary restrictions etc. made me feel at home. 2. Cleanliness - this is a typical aloft property with clean rooms and basic amenities. The property is well maintained 3. Good breakfast options - there’s a small kitchen in the lobby that offers a decent breakfast selection. Makes a huge difference in a relatively small place like Chesapeake. Could’ve given a five star if the elevators were cleaner and if the hotel had the requested room type (I got 2 queen bed room instead of a king)“

“Absolutely love their chicken wings, pizzas, and subs!! Bartenders are nice and the atmosphere is fun.“

“Wow. What a great restaurant! We came on taco Tuesday and The food And service was excellent. The jumbo margarita and tacos were crazy big and tasted delicious. The whole experience was Definitely 5 stars.“

“We had such a great experience getting married at The Harbor Club! Just about everything about the planning experience and the day of was perfect as far as the venue and food was concerned.
Communication with the venue via Jenn, the venue coordinator was quick and professional. She was able to answer all of our questions before we booked, and was very informative when we did a tour. Communicating throughout the planning process after we had booked was the same. Jenn also served as our day of coordinator for the other vendors, kept our timeline on track throughout the day. Everything ran smoothly!
The venue itself was lovely, the perfect size for our wedding. Easy access to the restrooms, and the whole venue is handicap accessible. The view of the Elizabeth River is gorgeous, and all of our guests loved the balcony where we had our cocktail hour.
Several guests complimented the appetizers that were passed, as well as the food we had for dinner. The service and bar staff were top notch, very professional and good at what they did.
We had a perfect wedding day, and the Harbor Club and all of the wonderful staff and hard work that was put in was a large part of what made the day so amazing.“

“My wife and I went to this levels location for the first time this weekend this place is way bigger than the Chesapeake location. The lay out is dope we went during happy hour which was good the drinks were $7 and the hookah was $15 the music was good will be returning I want to try the wings!“

“best juiciest burgers by far! love this hole in the wall restaurant!“

“Just left here. Showed up at around 6:30 with no reservation on a Friday. Had to wait a few to get seat at bar but no problem. So glad I waited to experience this place. They have a parking lot which is great. Vibe inside is lively but not overwhelming, upscale but not uppity, with food to rival their drinks. Bartender Joe was so busy but remained attentive and pleasant. Ordered the fried shrimp app, nachos and ahi tuna tacos. Usually I order ahi tacos at a place and get 2 tiny things. I got 4 which was super shocking. I spent $130 AFTER tip but I ain’t mad it was worth it. Drinks weren’t watery and weak, service was great, vibe was great with a good mix of people and food was well worth the money. Highly reccomend. Also their happy hour is also on Fridays which is unusual.“

“Zen is an oasis for eclectic artists and outrageous performers. It's where you go to step out of the insanity of the outside world to enjoy the loving embrace of inclusive joy and companionship. The bar staff is kind and attentive. The food is tasty as hell. I really could never say enough great things about Zen. Whether you're a performer or a patron, 37th and Zen is a welcoming haven.“

“Wings are on point. Big, crispy ( we got ours well done), flavorful and not dry. Sauces were good with some great choices. Awesome homemade fries. Waitress was a little slow but it was lunch time and it looked like she was by herself. I give her props though. She did a great job but she was bizzzzeee. I’d definitely go again but make sure you have time. Call first but I think they do 50 cent wings on Wednesday. Great job. Go! You won’t be disappointed!“

“I have been coming here for a long time. You can tell the clientele and workers are authentic Mexicans or Hispanics that enjoy real Hispanic food. I usually get my food to go, but today I decided to eat in the restaurant. I always get the tacos Carne Asada because it is the best Carne Asada I’ve ever had and all of hampton roads and I love Mexican food so I’ve eaten out pretty much every my same place that I can think of. A regular customer even suggested a dish that is similar to empanadas, but even better the pastry they used was flaky and crispy. Their Carne Asada is always flavor just right and very tender that you can just bite right through it and it’s melting your mouth. Their tortillas in their chips are also homemade, and you can tell them. I feel like this place was under the radar for a very long time, but you have to check this out as soon as you can!“

“Fried pickes? ✅️ French fries? ✅️ Wing night on Wednesday? ✅️ Burgers? ✅️ Mojos has it all. Very nice outdoor patio, stainless steel CLEAN bar, and currently 7 beers on tap! Happy hour is until 8! Bartenders are attentive and happy to serve. Awesome place! Definitely give it a go.“

“What i like most about here is they cater to all races and life styles. I felt very comfortable staff was friendly. Will be back again, drinks are not expensive and this place is massive have never been to a club/bar this big think they bought the entire block lol...loved it“
