It would be awesome if there was some type of shade covering outside on the deck, alot of people were requesting to sit outside but with no shade it deters. But besides that the food and the service was great!!”

“Great atmosphere and food”

“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!”

“I can honestly say I was surprisingly happy with my visit . I had my mind made up “ I’m in P-town except the worse “ but I really enjoyed the food , the service and the atmosphere, from the DJ to the hookah . I’m gagging that I didn’t complain , it was really good , and I give them the upmost respect for doing black business right . WOW just wow I was so surprised, Good Job team”

“This review is long overdue! My sister and I decided to grab a bite before heading to the casino back in July. We found this gem! Food was AMAZING, staff was friendly, and the drinks were strong! We happened to come on karaoke night and had a blast! The owner sat and chatted with us a bit and made feel really welcome.

Definitely going back next time I’m in town!”

“Sandwich could have had a little more pastrami. Swiss melt on the rye . Sandwich Came a little sloppy. The kitchen was not busy at all. I was the only customer at the time. Cook needs to pay more attention to detail. Presentation is everything.”

“This place was a v cool vibe for my homegirls birthday we did come earlier in the day so I can only speak towards that. we were literally the only people there but that was the best part!!! dj was A1, bartender was A1 & THE FOOD??? i ended up having to thank the chef bc that was some of the most seasoned food i have ever had from a restaurant! only negative was that it was v hot in there, i will definitely be back!”

“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!”

“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!”

“I have never been disappointed! My boyfriend introduced me and we’ve been coming consistently ever since. We LOVE Allen!!! He makes the lines seem shorter and the wait enjoyable! ❤️”

“just stopped in for the first time. staff is very friendly. Coconut Cappachinno was delicious. I also got a Caramel Crumble Bar that was out of this world. Great Job!!”

“I ordered the Musubi and the Hawaiian BBQ combo, as well as a black milk tea. This is another review where the food smelled so good when it arrived that I forgot to take a picture. The Mac salad was top notch, and the galbi hit the bullseye.

The server was friendly and attentive. This was my second time here but my first time dining in. Certainly will return.”

“I love their Max sub with ham, turkey, roast beef, I love their crushed peppers & you can also purchase a $1 cup of crushed peppers to go it works good with sandwiches at home.”

“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.”

“The service was wonderful. Everyone was polite. It has been a while since I've been and wanted to go since I was in the area. They had one of the dishes that I would order in the the past. It wasn't spicy like the past and had a sweet flavor that wasn't present before. The food wasn't bad though. The spring rolls and the ginger sauce they serve with it is good.”

“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.”

“excellent customer service, & good food & spirits.”

“Delicious food and very fast service, we had a party of 15-20 and from the time we sat down, and the waitress checked us out. About 45-60 minutes total. Ridiculous. Food was on point, able to understand English enough to get my order correct on the first try.”

“Jerk chicken is always a great choice. Sometimes the sauce can be spicy, however I love it. You can get it on the side. The sides are always flavored well. Absolutely do not forget the cornbread. It is hitting on all cylinders!! I've tried other things and I have no complaints here. They have Jamaican drinks as well. Stop in and give it a try I definitely recommend!”

“Wife and I had Thai beef salad and ginger chicken stir for lunch. The food, service, & price are good. Liquor and sushi bar too.

“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'”

“Food is always fresh and good. Egg foo yung is never burnt and the gravy is brown not black and oily like some places. They don’t have that weird yellow rice but normal rice classic and fried like back in the day real Chinese American food.”

“Best BBQ!! Wonderful Pulled Pork Sandwich & Beef Brisket French Dip was great too!! Popular Sunday Brunch with Mimosa/Bloody Mary Bar to boot!!”

“This is such a great Starbucks location. Everyone who works here is kind, friendly, and helpful. Liz, the manager, runs the store well it seems and always makes time to talk to customers.

“The food was fresh and tasty.”

“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.”

“The food is amazing. Only place we go to since moving here and finding it! Prices aren't crazy either. However we end up with something missing or swapped every order. Still love them. We haven't addressed them about the mixups so I can't blame them, it's still reasonably priced and delicious. It just isn't worth going back after sitting down at home to eat. I try to check everything when leaving to prevent it and when addressed they did immediately fix it which shows it's accidental and they are honest about fixing it if it happens.

Still the only place we go to!”

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

“We are forever a fan of this bbq…and that Mac n Cheese!!! We look forward to this at local events. Best smoked bbq around.”

“The lady was super nice. She did me a solid by giving me an egg roll last minute from another order so i wouldn't have to wait. Decent prices. Lowest I've seen in Hampton Roads. Busy stores and restaurants aren't here to kiss your a$$. Get your food. Pay and go home and enjoy it. Stop complaining about the person answering the phone. Maybe it's you!”

“First time ever! The food is amazing. And, if you custom your own tacos add the habanero sauce. Bravo 👏 to the owner!!!”

“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”

“Good times downtown Portsmouth High Street”

“The owner recognized me in person by my voice the first time i came into the shop.

The food is always fast and fantastic. Full of flavor, hot, you name it.”

“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!”

“This is a small restaurant, really small. There aren't even any tables. It's on a little feeder road just past the 164 overpass on Cedar Ln. Turn in by the 7-11, otherwise you have to turn in the feeder road further down. I found China Li on the BeyondMenu app. They use another service for online orders now.

I got a vegetable lo mein, which was great. The broccoli was kind of big pieces. I also had some chicken with mixed vegetables. It was also good, nice chicken and lots of different vegetables. The pork fried rice was ok too.

This place is a reliable pick when I'm out here. Lots of locals were in and out getting their usual.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ms. Faith is very kind and easy to work with! She texted with me about our wedding cake order for several days before/after Thanksgiving, AND throughout dealing with the death of her own sister. I was able to get our cake toppers and some extra flowers to her a few days before the wedding, and let her design the cake with only a few reference photos. Our small lemon cake was gorgeous, and absolutely delicious! We are so glad we could support a local small business and a really wonderful lady!”

“Delicious! No regrets about going there!!”

“Aways friendly, ontime and delicious….been ordering for years and we are still ordering weekly… our only problem was no duck sauce once…..for amount of food and delicious ….the best value for chinese food in town…my favorite is pepper steak or egg foo young …have ordered many meals for whole family n never had problem with quality of the food”

Branch areas. Well at one time they were in Chs Square. And it has been quite a while.”

“best in Hampton”

“Our new favorite seafood spot. Absolutely delicious! 😋”

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

“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”

“This location was so much better. Music was playing. Service was great. They honored my request to put mayo on first and they were able to prioritize mobile orders without sacrificing the customers who just walk in. Store was clean also”

“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”

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

“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.”

“The cooks are great people there Is a server who likes to hover over you and tell you her life story buy all the other ones are great I have been here 6 times in the last 2 weeks as it is close to my job and not wanting to get fast food everyday”

“Soup salad and dessert included with most every order. Stromboli was really good, vegetarian pizzas as well, they have steak and seafood. Crab-stuffed Flounder was incredible. Try This Place.”

“Food was outatanding amd the cashier was nice ! The place was small and a lil stuffy it seemed .... but good people nice food....but they cut my pizza wrong lol ....highly reccomend though pizza was perfect”
