The blonde haired girl (lady in her 40s) that was our waitress on July 2nd for the fireworks went above and beyond to help us. Thank you for being a diamond in the rough. For having quality food and a great atmosphere.“

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

“I only ate in the dining room, I did not stay in the rooms because I didnt know it was there honestly. The food was amazing, I came back for dinner after I had lunch there. Shrimp and grits for lunch, the shrimp were flavorful and the grits cake was something id never had before and it was amazing. I was given a sample of the dinner special, prime rib, and it was cooked perfect and seasoned wonderfully so we went back from dinner. The staff was amazing and informative. Will be definitely be back next time I'm in the area“

“Our server Jake was awesome! Super attentive and helpful. Good and drink on point as always. We will be back!“

“Captain Chuck-A-Muck’s was absolutely worth the drive! The waterfront atmosphere was relaxing, and the seafood was fresh and flavorful. We ordered the crab dip, steamed mussels, cream of crab soup, crab cake, sweet potato fries, hush puppies, and shrimp everything was delicious.

The crab cake was packed with crab meat and had great flavor, the cream of crab soup was rich and creamy, and the mussels were cooked perfectly in a buttery garlic broth. The sweet potato fries were seasoned just right, and the succotash paired well with the seafood.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Between the great food, excellent service, and beautiful waterfront setting, it’s easy to see why this place is so popular.

We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re craving fresh seafood! Highly recommend.“

“Great food.😋 Great establishment overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had the King Suite and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom was big and so was the living room area. There is only one bathroom so our daughtet had to use the one in our room. Although the pull out couch was okay she preffered the roll away bed that they provided when asked. When you walk into your room there is a switch by the door that you must turn on to turn the bathroom lights on and off in the bathroom. The bathroom was a nice size with good lighting. The floor can be a little slippery when wet. It may have been the type of tile. The pool area was very nice and enjoyed. The lobby area is a nice size. Oh although you cant tell the King Suite door closes and locks. The staff was very friendly all the time. When ever we needed anything they were there to assist. Overall I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Besides the one bathroom in the suite I would give 10 because of the confort. If continental breakfast was availablenit would have been 12“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“Love the wings and the beef Bulgogi..I never had a bad experience there. The person taking the orders are always polite and courteous no matter who it is. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Nice little selection of bourbon, great service and food. Will definitely be back soon“

“food was great, the restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait. Our server Morgan was exceptional, she had several people to take care of, and she done it without missing a beat. will definitely be back and ask for her.“

“This is one restaurant that never disappoints. Food is delicious and always served at the correct temperature. The staff is exceedingly helpful and accommodating. They have various evenings when there is a special menu, which gives you a variety from the main menu. Their once a month Dinner and Cocktail events are not to be missed. Their support of the World Kitchen during COVID was very impressive and all the more reason to be a regular patron.“

“A peaceful place to enjoy a delicious well made breakfast with friendly and attentive service. It is my dining sanctuary in such a very busy and stressed out city.“

“Great food, great place to grab drinks. Brooklyn was a wonderful waitress and I love bringing in my out of town friend to schooners for great drinks and food when I’m town!“

“11/13/2022 Lunch with friends today. As always food was hot and cooked to our liking. Never disappointed. Today it was especially good. The Super Young Lady we had as a Server, her name was Rachel was an absolute pleasure!! All of us said the same thing. Attentive. Super Personality and just couldn’t have been any sweeter. We all brag about the food; but Young People like this deserve recognition and hopefully Management let’s her know how much we enjoyed the food, but she was the highlight of the meal. Excellent Job Young Lady!!“

“First I’ve tried Cheddars in years. Renewed my interest, I think I’ll be back. Prince was our waiter tonight. Though we differ in personality’s, he was friendly, informative and enlightening. I truly enjoyed our conversations with him. The food must always be good along with interactions with the server for an outstanding dining experience. We enjoyed our dinner at Cheddars tonight.“

“Our waiter was a little rude. He seemed to have an attitude. Other than that the food was good and of course being with my family! My dad’s 91st Birthday!!!“
