Restaurants in Portsmouth

“Great food, great drinks, great service; have never had a bad experience at HSP. Even when the restaurant is full you can tell they do their best to make sure every guest has a great experience. They also have sweet shirts!”

“If you are looking for good food and good people this is where you wanna be. Grown and Sexy Vibe. The staff are the best!”

“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!!”

“Stopped in to celebrate with good friends, I had the dark lager. It has a good taste but is not heavy like a Stout can be. They have a good variety of their own creations. I will have this again.
Went again last night, had a really good porter and sat on the patio and smoked my pipe”

“Food was Delicious and very well priced!!”

“I recommend the food but would hope that the very inconsiderate customers that TOOK A CALL ON SPEAKER PHONE FOR OVER 15 MINUTES, would stay home next time!”

“This small grocery store has a surprisingly large and welcoming atmosphere, offering both takeout and dine-in options. It's my go-to place for hard-to-find Spanish and West Indian ingredients, including spices, vegetables, and canned goods that the larger supermarkets often lack. I also appreciate their buffet featuring a delicious blend of American and West Indian cuisine. I always make sure to grab a bag of their flavorful beef patties and coco bread before I leave.”

“Great atmosphere and food”

“I really love the smell of this place the beer while not bad not up to my particular taste. But I still like the friendliness and the overall vibe so I will be back.”

“Me & my fiancé went there for dinner tonight it was my first time and OMG it was so good. The crab dip was amazing! An they are all so nice.”

“I jerk, chicken eggrolls, very nice atmosphere. On Wednesday nights karaoke service was great.”

“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!”

“The absolute best wings in the Hampton roads area, better yet Virginia.”

“I never go to clubs anymore, went out last night anyway to meet associates that were supposed to be here. Found out later I was in the wrong location😑 Got another drink and chilled out anyway, any place that gets packed, no drama, and at least has gorgeous bartenders, (like the one in the black dress who told me no Absolut to go with my cran and red bull, no more Jameson😫😂) hey lol I already paid the cover and was in a good spot. I'd go back next time I bar hop in Portsmouth.”

“Mom and Son Thai Kitchen is the best Thai restaurant that I’ve tried. My family loves it as do all the family and friends that I’ve recommended it to. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. I’ve always liked Thai food, but I LOVE the Thai food from Mom and Son Thai Kitchen. It is very fresh and full of flavor. Everything I’ve had tastes like it was made from scratch with love. My favorite dishes are the Thai fried rice, basil stir fry, Pad Kee Mao, and the Thai Noodle Soup. If you’ve never tried this place, go try it ASAP!”

“Staff is amazing and friendly, the raspberry white chocolate scones 🤌 if you're in olde towne, stop in for the white chocolate macadamia latte! 😍”

“Pizza was great, the crust was incredible and the sauce to cheese ratio beats any chain pizza store. There’s an amazing level of authenticity to appreciate and the staff are incredibly hospitable! The garlic knots were a phenomenal starter while I built up my appetite for the meat lovers pie! Definitely will be back with family and friends!”

Really a great place to just have a great time. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to get out. The wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back!!!!”

“Everything was great, the prices for the bread items I purchased, and the variety. I atmosphere reminded of being a little girl shopping with my mommy in the late 1980s when Murray's Steak House was in Suffolk Virginia on Portsmouth Blvd. I miss my mom, but Flowers Bakery Outlet gave me a Happy memory. I had forgotten about being with my mom.... that's probably why I ended up buying $7 plus of bread today....something I don't really eat much of.”

“A good time Happy Our Good food Good drinks”

“I posted this before but forgot to put the ratings in. Their deluxe stromboli and sweet iced tea can't be beat. It's all I get.”

“Update still great food here after comeback 7 years now.

I never get photos because I eat and I am locked in how good it tastes. 😋

The 🍲 food and quality was excellent. I started out with some tom yum ( may be spelling it wrong) and had some Thai tea. So good I was in heaven then I had some favorite of pad Thai.... I mean they where on point. I will have to say GOOD. Service was excellent and cook cooked to perfection!”

“Stopped through went to location on Granby while on break in my work truck and found this Gem I ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls and a chicken Philly add jerk sauce🤤😮‍💨😮‍💨🤤 so so good can’t forget about that black cherry lemonade.

“The food was fresh and tasty.”

“First time visiting this location, the attention from staff was quick, and drinks were made right away. Nice vibes inside and pretty much quiet. The parking lot was pretty full so i drove around back looking for more parking but ultimately wound up in the drive thru line. Fortunately i was able to back out. I remember when this location was my favorite Bp gas station lol”

“Fabulous fried seafood at good prices. Just as good as the more expensive places, but with much faster service.”

“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.”

“We’ve eaten here about 5 times now I think and I specifically waited to make my review until we had been a few times at least. The consistency of this place is on point, which is amazing because we’ve been trying to find a good take out place for a while now where we knew it would be good every time and this place has got it going on. Their food is amazing. This is the only place we go for Chinese food now and we even drive 40 minutes to get here it’s that good. We personally love the beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and the sesame chicken.”

“They have good food, cheap prices and cloth napkins.”

“Everything was delicious. Stenetra was a breath of fresh air. There was nothing we needed that she didn’t provide. Stenetra I wish you the best with your future endeavors. That Special tea was off the chain!!!! Thank you!!!!”

“The lady’s in the drive thru are always really sweet and the food is very fresh. This is my favorite location☕️🍩”

“I ordered yak during my lunch break but I didn't like the flavor, so I ended up throwing it in the trash. Everyone at work raves about this restaurant, so I decided to give them another chance and ordered shrimp egg foo young when I got off of work. And I am glad that I did, because it was very good. I will be returning.”

“I love DJing Thursdays at the best restaurant in Portsmouth: the vibe is amazing along with the staff. @djsharp-copeland.”

“We had a recent catering order for a surprise party! The ordering process and delivery process was super easy!! Food was great and everyone seemed to enjoy it! We will definitely use you guys again!”

“Finally! I found a great Chinese restaurant. Got house fried rice and chicken and broccoli and they were both absolutely excellent! Lady at the counter was very friendly unlike the jerk that I've been abused by numerous times at another Chinese restaurant.
Topps China, you have a new customer!”

“Great coffee. I just got disappointed it’s always out of peppermint for mocha”

“Good times downtown Portsmouth High Street”

“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 🤤”

“Fries salty & shrimp wet! Who sends someone this to eat. My co-worker tried to eat it but he could not either. $24 waste & missing item”

“DELICIOUS and one the Best Subs I've eaten. Locally and independently owned, it is much better than most places. My first visit.
I ordered The Works'”

“I've come to understand that crown is different wherever you go... the fried gizzards had great flavor, but texture wasn't right... the chicken was meh the chicken needed the gizzards flavor... and the kingdom were small... the guy working the counter acted like I was interrupting his day cause my order was going up and up... bit I would think you want people to order a lot... but guess not”

“Great food! Great prices! Great atmosphere!”

“The Kroger on Frederick Blvd in Portsmouth is absolutely the nicest Kroger I have ever been inside. The selection...... AMAZING! It makes grocery shopping a total pleasure.”

“OMG!! This is the best cinnamon roll I have ever tasted!!! We wanted to try something new and searched up cinnamon rolls. The roll was not overbearing with cinnamon, it wasn't too thick, and the icing was perfect. I am so happy we decided to give Lovin' Oven Bakery a try!! Chef's kiss 🤌🏾💋👩🏿‍🍳 Love it! Thank you guys for being everything we wanted and more!! They even added a free roll! 😉 😘”

“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.”

“A Pretty good little Chinese food Takeout restaurant, and the Lady owner is kind and friendly. I would definitely prefer to give them business instead of fast food drive thru nearby. I like good fresh hot food, good service and good price from a local business like this one. Thank you China Li, and keep up the good work!”

“We'd been looking for a new Chinese place for a while now, decided to try Wong Kwok, out search is over. Everything we'd been looking for, amazing food, friendly and great prices with nice portions.”

“This location has done a real turn around, super clean and great staff. Even the trainees are great.”

“Haven't been here in years because I moved states away but when I tell you I always go for their shrimp egg food Yung or they chicken yok. It never misses I literally grew up on their food. Now whenever I taste Chinese food in other cities I get sad and wanna cry because none will hit like mama chan's do”

“Good food for corner store chicken and shrimp. I travel across the city for the food. As I stated before corner store but it's in a shopping center on Towne point I'd. Police are often patrolling the area so relatively safe”

“Great food and great service! Owners are very nice!”

“Don't put powdered sugar on your pancakes unless you're going to advertise it. When somebody tells you they can't have powdered sugar on their pancakes don't try to scrape it off and flip them upside down and hand them back. Get another Chef because the cook and the kitchen today was rude and did not care about any of the people that were there. Took forever to get food and when it did come everything except for the bacon and the potatoes was inedible. Listened to other people in the restaurant return food and listen to the chef give lip about it and say it was not his problem. Waitress was pleasant, she even tried to tell the cook that he couldn't scrape powdered sugar off the pancake but he did it anyway, only downside about her was that she was concerned about her phone than anything else. Will never return again. I should have paid attention that the reviews on this page are two years or more old. definitely not the place that was reviewed previously. Don't know what's happened but it's not good.”

“If you like local dives....this is the place. Everyone knows everyone and wears their best Walmart clothes. Best prices in town on a decent meal. Only place I've seen a cigar lounge.”

“Came in with my coworkers after working a closing shift. Food was excellent from Cybil and service was excellent from Kailyn. A great end to our day. Will definitely be back!”

“best in Hampton”

“Always ready to help, delivery is incredibly quick, and service is always the best! I don't know what we would do without these guys.”

“Greater Grinders has the best subs in Hampton Roads. Ingredients always fresh and the best sub rolls! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I think they deserve a raise for always being that way!! Because it is kind of tucked off the main road, it's sometimes forgotten about, but do think forget, best subs and service anywhere! Go see them!”

“Very polite staff. Very clean establishment. Fast service. Very loving environment.”

“Great place and quick service.”

“I love their pretzels. They need to expand to the Chesapeake Square, and Western
Branch areas. Well at one time they were in Chs Square. And it has been quite a while.”

“This great little place was not here when I was station on the USCGC Madrona in 1969.. I had just turned 20,, I"m 73 now.. I"m sure my comrade enjoy this place..The Wheelhouse.. Hello to all...”

“Really quiet, could use some music. Can here people in the kitchen talking on the phone, wait staff was wonderful very attentive.food was great, and the amount given was decent compared to the price. I had the hamburger steak and eggs, he got the seafood omelette. He says that it was good.”

“The food is fresh and hot. Sometimes the flavor of the pancit and lo mein fluctuates from good to great. Just wish their was more consistency on greatness. But haven't been disappointed. Would like more delivery options.”

“My daughter had her wedding reception there on Saturday. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing”

“I ordered tuna club and a turkey and cheese sandwich. That tuna was so good! I ordered the turkey and cheese for tomorrow so I can’t give a report on that. But if the tuna is good I know the other sandwich will be good too. They were quick with the delivery too. On a Saturday!”

“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.”

“Staff is nice, plz get the super Philly because it has the most meat, yummy! My food was made fresh to order & hot 🔥 . The Philly wasn’t seasoned enough for me, but they provided extra garlic salt & it was perfect once added! The fries weren’t my favorite cut or texture, but it was hot & complemented my sub. The reese's  cup cookie was delicious and was a flavorful way to end my meal. This location is in desperate need of a remodel, but I’ll be back !”

“Delicious! No regrets about going there!!”
