Restaurants in Newport News

“My husband and I join another couple from time to time to try new restaurants, as we all consider ourselves "foodies". They had gone to Circa recently, and were excited for us to try it as well. I had heard of Circa because I'd been given a gift card a couple years ago, but I lost it, and only had the envelope and gift card receipt. From the time we walked in to the time we walked out, my husband and I received nothing but the best service. Our waiter, Regina, was exceptional - professional, personable and attentive. She sold my husband on Friday night's entire special. I had the mushroom and leek soup, brisket wontons and bison meatloaf. I'm not ashamed to say I did not come up for air. I ate it all! The pairings, textures, layers of flavor and portion sizes were everything. And to top it all off, I told Regina about my gift card mishap, and the manager honored the card! I was blown away by this dining experience; it was awesome.”

“Last night we got more snow than we’ve had in years. This morning, the owners delivered us a box of delicious donuts straight to our doorstep. Now I’m sitting here looking at the snow, drinking coffee and enjoying them.”

“I love the food here, so I decided to go for my birthday. The service was horrible. Our waiter brought out cups and silverware but no water. Then he seemed to have a bit of an attitude when we asked another waiter for our water. He had no people skills whatsoever.
After we ordered, we were forgotten about. No one came back to our table until we were done and that was after my husband waved someone down. They should at least ask if we're doing okay.
I've never had an issue with the service in the past, but this was also my first time going in the evening.
Not everyone is meant to work in the service industry and some of the wait staff at choice should seek employment elsewhere. None of them showed any evidence of good customer service.”

“This place is outstanding! Please check out you will not be disappointed”

“I finally got to try Bird Girl Bottle Shop, and I highly recommend your trying it, too: the food is delicious, and the people are wonderful.”

“Kellie is the friendliest bartender ever ... That smile brightens up anyone's day”

“My wife loves Thai food so I stopped in to ask if a reservation was needed for Valentines Day ‘25 and I’m so glad that I did. When we arrived I was greeted by name and our table was ready. The menu offered a wide variety and the food was amazing, the servings were large and the atmosphere was very comfortable. After dinner, Anya stopped by the table to ensure that we enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed ourselves so much that the next morning I began researching how to recommend this restaurant to Triple D! Thank you William & Anya, the husband and wife who own and operate the establishment, for an actually 5 star dining experience.”

“Plenty of fresh and tasty food to enjoy on the grill or in the hot pot. The servers kept up with all the people’s orders and kept the food coming. Definitely recommend”

“The food is delicious! Would recommend to anyone.”

“My fiancé and I got the Thai shrimp and the pig and fig flatbread pizza, and both were absolutely amazing! One of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time”

“The ambience was great my server Lauren did a great job serving me and explaining the process of the melting pot experience.”

“First time eating here. Service was great and loved the food! Very accommodating.”

“Indoor dining with romantic atmosphere. Excellent staff and very attentive.”

“We came tonight and the service was good and the food was good. The Bang Bang Shrimp was delicious. Me and hubby were celebrating our anniversary earlier. We back to visit in the future.”

“This place is such a hidden gem. It's not a fancy sit down and stare at the eclectic walls, but more of a soul powered kitchen. The plantains were perfectly cooked, ropa vieja out of this WORLD. The papa relleno stuffed with picadillo, and the spicy onion salad were delicious as well. We really couldn't choose a favorite. Worth every single penny spent, definitely check these guys out!”

“I went to an oyster bar in Florida today & nobody fw you Larry!!!! I miss you! I miss the crab dip! I miss the shrimp! I miss you bad”

“Good food,Friendly staff,reasonable prices.”

“Great place to go when you want an elevated experience. The brunch was well worth it and the food was delicious ‼️”

“My husband has brought this place up to me a million times. He had been there for the buffet for lunch and said it was absolutely amazing! My husband has been a serious carnivore all his life, I a vegetarian since I was a child, so I was like hmm not sure if he can judge vegetarian. I am thoroughly impressed but one of thee best meals I have ever eaten, I was stuck between a few choices but asked the person serving us what she thought (that was smart of me) she recommended the Mughlai Paneer (cashews, Indian Cheese) my husband had the Boti Kebab Patia (lamb) The food popped with flavor So Delicious!!! We also had the Garlic Naan (best garlic bread I've ever had in a restaurant!)
We wanted the full experience so we ordered desert to go, when our server remarked that the Halwa would be her last dessert if she had to chose that told us everything you needed to know. We had a bite and there's this warmth that falls over you like a hug that you've been missing!
Food that fills you with warmth and JOY!
We'll be back!!!

“Stasia and Charles were great servers for our date night!!!”

“My salmon was cooked to perfection....delicious!
I gave a 4 star instead of 5 because of the accompanying vegetables.
It was a very skimpy portion and over cooked. Overall, it was a very nice lunch.”

“My husband and I enjoy wine tastings and charcuterie boards. They are extremely knowledgeable about wines. They remember us, and that's special. Sean is great. It's great for a date or a small gathering.”

“My son and I were looking for a unique and nice place for dinner while visiting. We had the sweetest, most considerate waitress, Gee! She made the experience that much better. I ate the BEST pulled pork I’ve ever had and my son finished his whole meal which is insanely rare. I highly recommend dinner here and asking for Gee!”

“I was recommended smothered chicken by Megan.. this meal didn't dissappoint.. great atmosphere.. come by and check it out..l can't belive Megan has been working at Craft 60 Taphouse for over 3 yrs and this is only her second review.. I'm at a loss that is hard to believe..

“I’m from up north and had only been to a Waffle House while driving down to FL (typical NJ family tradition lol). Now that I live so close to one, I love being able to truly enjoy the atmosphere. The waitresses are always a delight and will keep you smiling. I stop by every so often during walks with my son. He has slept in here and also been in the restaurant smiling the whole time too. I love it.
Recently I got a burger with waffles on the side and when I came home, I used the waffles as a bun for the burger and omg… totally worth it. I’ll have to get a picture next time!”

“Today me and my sisters dined in for breakfast. I just wanted to give a shout out to our server Malik who took great care of us and showed outstanding customer service.”

Kid-friendliness: Super cool with the youngins

Wheelchair accessibility: They had ramps and counter seating available”

“Stacy the cashier is so friendly and nice!!!”

“A few nights ago, I had a craving for some ice cream. This place is supposedly open 24 hours. So my son and I head to this Sonic and it is open close to midnight. We ordered our food . My son got a Coney hotdog meal and I wanted a king kong ice cream but they only had mediums. The service was acceptible, food wise there are no complaints.”

“The location it's ok in general and you must be careful entering from JCLYDE side entrance since it has been a couple of accidents... Staff, it's hit or miss at times...”

“Of the 3 McDonalds locations that I go to (Tabb, Jefferson and Oyster Point, and this location), this one is the best. They have the best customer service and the play place is a huge plus. We bring the kids to run around before and after they eat. What specifically stood out to me this particular visit was Jasmine and Keisha. They were super sweet, very personable, and no matter how many times I had to go back to the counter, they greeted me with a smile each time.. I asked them for their names and made sure to let them know they were awesome, but wanted to make sure my review reflected it as well!”

“Too much cheese on my omlettte ?
But it was a great breakfast. French toast and eggs were cooked perfectly.
Waitress was accommodating to my baby and I.
I'll be back when I'm in town.”

“2 Sundays in a row I’ve gone to through the drive thru after work around 2:30ish am and the 2 gentlemen there are great!!! Good customer service and wow top tier McDonald’s food. Best McDonalds burger I think I’ve had in the longest time. Slightly crisped around the edges and everything!!! Fresh hot crispy fries!!!”

“First time in YEARS I’ve had a good experience at McDonald’s. The gentleman was polite, respectful, and remembered napkins, sauce, as well as straws. Told me to enjoy my food ☺️ which made it that much more delicious and enjoyable! He deserves a raise!”

“The crepes at the German Christmas market were a huge hit with my kids. My son says he can only describe it with one word, deliciousness!”

“The meal was delicious and served at the appropriate temperature. The ambiance of the establishment was inviting, and the staff was courteous and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, particularly the cinnamon swirl pancakes, which were exceptionally delectable. The white cheddar grits were also quite good, and I appreciated the option to create a custom omelet. My husband ordered the French toast and an omelet, both of which he enjoyed. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to sample the mimosas, but based on their appearance, I believe they would have been refreshing.”

“Absolutely delightful! The food is delicious and the service fantastic. We have gone twice in one week and had leftovers both times.”

“The food was absolutely delicious. The server that we had was outstanding and it was very clean as well as cozy inside.”

“Incredible food, incredible service, and fully customizable cuisine. My wife and I will go nowhere else in the area for HotPot, and we’ve been around. So good. Quality ingredients, very clean facilities, and TOP NOTCH broth.”

“The food and service at Cava in Newport News is always a great experience. Staff is patient helping people with their menu options, and fresh everyday. For myself, they provide a healthier option than several restaurants in the area..”

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 30+ years and it is always a treat! Mr. & Mrs. Han do a wonderful job. The food is always very fresh, the portions are plentiful, and the presentation is delightful. Shoku is such a joy to have as a waitress. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about Sushi Yama. Try it for yourself. You will be glad you did.”

“Outstanding nano brewery! The beer is tasty and they support our brewing community. Cheers, to their daily efforts to keep us stocked up with fresh delicious beverages.”

“We really enjoyed it the Dogs are Great the Atmosphere is really nice and the Customer Service is great We will be back thank you”

“This place is AWESOME. So far I’ve ordered the Sweet and Spicy Korean wings, Soy Garlic wings, and Egg Drop Soup. It has all been sooo good.”

“Prices are good at about $10 per person and with good size portions. Food is cooked to order, no reheated food here.
The atmosphere is very basic cafeteria style - you come here for the food, not the atmosphere.
The fries are the best seasoned fries I've ever had. Not too salty, not too plain. That's a lot of details on fries, but when you finally find good fries, it's worth mentioning :-)
We had the Gyro (lamb) & Italian sub. The food was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend coming here - even if you just want your food to go.”

“THE best gyros around! Food is always hot and fresh, I love it!!”

“Great food and service! The turkey is it for me!”

“Excelente servicio, un ambiente agradable y buen desayuno!”

“Our family ordered takeout and could not have been happier. The shrimp hibachi, sushi, and rolls were out of this world!”

“All their offerings are very good. Donuts and mochi are great. Boba is great. The only downside as maybe others have said, is that it's in the middle of the international market so "atmosphere" is almost non-existent, if that matters to you (it shouldn't).”

“Great fries! Bulgogi good but not korean marinated. Got only half my order and had to return and wait for remaining half. Got home second time, they still forgot the slaw. Will give them another chance.”

“The Cure in Newport News is such a comfortable environment and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The Crème Brûlée macchiato was absolutely perfect as well as their “The Hangover Cure” breakfast sandwich. I will definitely be coming here again!”

“Just met the new store mg. Tiffany here in kiln creek store and received amazing customer service! This is why I keep coming to this particular location so friendly , and very genuine baristas! Thank you Tiffany for making my Birthday great! ?”

“Amazing fresh food! Friendly staff! Great prices, quality and atmosphere!”

“Went here for the first time tonight … Amazing! The sundaes were huge and delicious … Coffee sundae was perfect. The two girls working were so kind and patient. We will be back!”

“Another great time spent here! I had the San Jose Burrito! Soooo good! I like the kick of spice added. I also had a margarita (lime). Happy hour special. Wonderful. The place is always clean, plenty of parking (except for Cinco de Mayo) and always a popping environment! We also had the steak fajitas, forgot to picture it ?, it was good as well???. It has changed managers, but it’s still a fantastic place for a good time. Food comes out hot, fresh, and fast. We’ll be back soon!”

“Jose is a comfortable atmosphere to come to eat tasty foods and enjoy great drinks.”

“One of the best local places to hang out for good food, live music, and awesome local atmosphere!”

Everyone in our group really enjoyed their selections and most of us had enough that we had to take some home. One even ordered more food to go. We will definitely go back. Thankyou for a great experience. 💕”

“It tasted better than other branch I’ve been going to.. smoother texture also”

“Felt like I was visiting “the good ole days” where people are friendly and serve great food. Unlike the chain restaurants of today. So refreshing!”

“We have no complaints, only praise. This last visit was our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Food hot and brought in a timely manner. Manager Jay and server Jordan went above and beyond customer service ensuring our continued patronage. They both were delightful and professional. We look forward to our next visit.”

“Kellie is the friendliest bartender ever ... That smile brightens up anyone's day”

“THIS RESTAURANT 'S FOOD TO CALL IT DELICIOUS WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT...THE CHAUFA IS MY NEW ADICTION AND i'M DETERMINED TO TRY EVERYTHING :)”

“When all the Chinese restaurants closed because of ignorant people claiming that Chinese were the cause of Covid19, and did not want to eat their food. I promised that the first Chinese restaurant I could find open I was going to get myself some Chinese food. Well they were the only one open. I was more than happy to order from Super China. The food is always good. The service is good as well. I have never ordered anything that wasn't up to par.”

“Legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had, the Valkyrie burger definitely gave me a true taste of Valhalla … this Maryland girl will definitely be back for another ?”

Next time we will actually go to the restaurant. Would 10/10 recommend.”

“Great food and service as always!”

“We enjoyed the food, seems like the place has mostly new people working now, so be patient. The food is worth the wait, the prices are great. But yeah, make sure you waiter/tress is writing things down and paying attention to you while to place your order. If you do that, you shouldn’t have any issues. Everyone is always friendly .”

“Cheap but tastes great, I couldnt complain! I got cajun chicken tray with cajun fries, chocolate shake, and cheese bites. I don't think you can beat the taste at the price. This is a must for anyone who hasn't had it yet.”

“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!!!”

“Good Afternoon,

I drove here from Virginia Beach to do an errand and stopped to get a bite to eat. I ordered my food via the Popeye’s app, completed my errand, and went in to get my food. When I first walked in, I was very impressed about how clean the restaurant was and the peaceful atmosphere on a Friday afternoon. I went to the counter to get my food and I was greeted the same way as if I was ordering in person. The young lady at the counter greeted me, gave me my food, gave me my cup and showed me where the drink fountain was. Because of the clean restaurant and pleasant reception, I stayed and ate my food. My food was hot, fresh, and the biscuits were soft and delightful. Everything was so good, I ordered a little more to go. Thank you so much for your professionalism, cleanliness, and peaceful establishment. The picture shows the time I ordered my food via the app. Have an awesome day. Keep up the great work.”

“There Mac & cheese is the bomb🙂 You gotta try the BBQ and buffalo Mac & cheese!!”

“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!!”
