New American Restaurants near Portsmouth, VA

“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.“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food! Great prices! Great atmosphere!“

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

“Great time . Big place where you can sit and talk while eating. Great tasting food and attentive servers and staff“

“Ava provided to notch service. She was welcoming, warm, and friendly, and yet very professional. The service read accurate, helpful, and prompt, with lots of attention to be sure we were still ok during our meal. Again she is top notch.“

“Husband took the family out to dinner and it was amazing. Best restaurant we've eaten at in Norfolk. My 3 year old ate the spinach that's how good this place is. The drinks were excellent, the food was extremely well done and full of flavor. No wonder it is regularly booked up.“

“Great food! We are from out of state, visiting family and loved this place.“

“This is by far the best restuarant in Norfolk. Chef Ticha is a magician with food. The prawns were the best I have ever had in the USA. All the Food prepared and presented beautifully. I come here without exception when I’m in Norfolk. The bartenders are fabulous as well and create some fabulous cocktails.“

“So only 21 beers to choose from but 5 aren’t working so like 16 beers on tap at a taphouse style place. But they they did have a few beers we hadn’t tryed so there’s that . Food was really good recommend the cowboy burger or loaded fries , staff was friendly and very professional“

“I’ve eaten here now 5 times. Gone for an evening date, family gathering of 8, and a regular dinner for 4 out and about in town. They can accommodate anything. The food is excellent, creative and unique. Staff is nice and helpful, and hardworking. This is a staple for me. Parking on the street hasn’t been a problem but also garages are available or uber if you are enjoying the neat drink menu.“

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving. I was well assisted up the stairs and taken to our table. The servers could not have been more pleasant. When it was time to leave one of the female employees assisted me down the front steps and to my waiting car. They made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you so much.“

“Another excellent meal at Omar's Carriage House. The pork belly fried rice had just enough heat to it but not so much as to overwhelm the flavor.“

“We had a dinner party for our kindergarten there and we’re very happy. I had originally made the reservation for the wrong day on accident and they easily accommodated the date fix. Communication was quick and easy. Love that they handle large parties and reservations. The food was super good! And the staff was patient, friendly, and very helpful. I’m glad we took a chance here, and we’ll for sure be back.“

“Very disappointed. Use to eat @ Poppys twice weekly while working at shipyard. Moved to Fla two years ago. Back for short visit craving a great Poppy dog. Ordered two hotdogs all the way. . received a little swipe of mustard 4 bits of onion and a scarse bit of chilli.“

“Everything was awesome. we are 100% satisfied and Bailey took great care of us. By far the best food we have had out in a while, we'll be back“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. killer drinks, and great food. hats off .. 🤙“

“I do enjoy and recommend Winston’s, but would like to also give a shout out to our waitress and cook working 10/18/25 around 11:30, and also a concern to one gentleman who showed up for work around then as well. I wish I had names, especially for the amazing waitress who served us (she was blond, I know that!). I came in with my daughter and elderly father who has dementia. Dad wanted an egg sandwich. We had already driven by some of the usual breakfast spots and naturally they were packed. I stopped because I had seen that sometimes Winston’s offers brunch, and learned that at least yesterday they did not. However the waitress checked with the kitchen, they had eggs, bread, and bacon and the cook graciously agreed to make my dad a sandwich. So very kind of them and very much appreciated!! ABOVE AND BEYOND!! My daughter and I ordered regular menu items and while waiting for our meals a gentleman came in carrying some groceries. I guess he saw the cook making an egg sandwich when he entered the kitchen and proceeded to loudly berate both the waitress and cook, yelling about how, “We don’t f@ck!ng do breakfast, we don’t make eggs, it’s not on the menu, you have no right to make that f-ing guy eggs, all to what? Keep one f-ing customer?” I am paraphrasing, but not exaggerating at all - he was cursing them out, f-bombs and all, and it was quite easy to hear from where we sat, as the customers in question. I felt awful to have gotten the waitress in trouble, and hearing him treat staff this way as well as talking about paying customers this way put a bad taste in my mouth during what would and should have been an outstanding experience. So, a huge thank you to 2/3 of the staff I encountered yesterday. Food was great, service was great, but that one guy really needs to find some zen - and he could learn a thing or two from the rest of the staff regarding customer service.“

“one of our "go to" spots for date night. the Brisket nachos are yummy and the tap selections are always good.“

“My husband and I love this place. The atmosphere is so family oriented, and they treat every patron with love. I volunteer to feed the homeless and asked them to cater for us. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The guests (homeless) kept wanting seconds. They are always willing to support our cause. Love them to pieces ❤️“

“Called in my order to surprise my fiancé with breakfast for his birthday. 🎂 I mentioned this to Karen, when I picked it up she told me she put a candle in his pancake. Such a kind gesture. She even wrote Happy Birthday 🎉 on the container. So very sweet. Excellent customer service. I always encounter a great experience whether I’m dining in, calling in, or ordering online. But I most definitely wanted to shout out The lovely Caring Karen. As always I highly recommend Belaire Pancake House.“

“We ordered a sandwich platter and chips for our in-office quarter-end catch-up day. We placed the order this morning, and it was ready for pickup at the new Hilltop location by 12:30 PM. Great service and delicious sandwiches.“

“Great coffee… ☕️😋 We just stopped by on our way to the Barry Art Museum. Thank you and happy new year.“

“Food and service was great“

“The great food, positive atmosphere, healthy options. You will get your money's worth.“

“awesome vibe and great food“

“A nice restaurant with very good ambiance. The food is top tier. The service... even better. My personal favorites are the bowls and burgers along with the fries. Whether youre going out alone, with friends or on a date this is an ideal spot. The manager Jo, amongst other staff, really makes the experience worthwhile.“

“I don’t know which is better…the amazing authentic espresso martinis or live music. The appetizers aren’t too shabby either. Can’t wait to come back for dinner.“

“My boyfriend and I love coming here! We love the bartenders and get the best service! The food and drinks are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend for a date night. The low lightening makes it relaxing and romantic. Great happy hour specials too! Big fan of their espresso martinis! Always new specials. Last night, we did the Saturday steak night. The steak was cooked to perfection! Please go check them out!“

“Best ribs I’ve ever had! They were a full huge rack, with such a great taste and just fall off the bone. Truly finger licking good. Not only that, they are quite the bargain at only $19. They have become quite a commodity amongst the locals so hope they don’t sell out. The best kept secret in Chesapeake, well secret no more. You’ve gotta come try them. You won’t be disappointed. Tell them Bert sent you! The picture is a DOUBLE STACK of ribs…Full Rack!“

“I was having a good time until my check came and I was charged a extra drink . the server Amber was very rude , said she was the manager and instead of correcting her mistake and thinking on it , she was rude and dismissive. I had a $20 tip for her. but I wrote on my receipt that extra drink is your tip. Very bad server experience. some people just aren't worth the argument .“

“This is in the Sheraton hotel and the atmosphere was lovely with a harbor view. The menu is basic but with solid choices and the food was exactly as anticipated. The waitstaff was very pleasant but not very attentive. They were very slow to acknowledge and seat you. We had time to kill so not a big deal but if I had time constraints I probably would have been annoyed.“

“Incredibly loud and difficult to hear others. The food was pretty decent, but some things weren't really my favorite. They way overcooked my crab cake (check my picture - yes that is a crab cake), the tea was wildly sweet, and my mashed potatoes were oddly sweet as well. Mac and cheese and steak were killer though! Our waitress was super friendly and really helpful, but the noise and inconsistent food quality left me a bit unsatisfied.“
