★★★★★ 5.0 Paul Brawner · Feb 2026

Dropped by for lunch and we were seated very quickly, hostess at the door was friendly. Our server Ashley was a doll, you can tell she really loves her job & just loves people in general. Very infectious energy, you can't help but smile. She frequently dropped by our table inquiring if we needed anything, which I appreciate- Management should give this young woman a raise, it's people like her that make people want to return to a restaurant. Kind hearted people are the bread and butter for restaurants like this. This was my first time visiting but won't be the last. The food was super fresh, hot, and crispy. The portion you get for the price you pay blew my mind, the platter I got only ended up being $16 and that is a steal! I left stuffed like a turkey. The Crush drink I had was yummy. I

My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed eating lunch here. The atmosphere was great and our waitress was very kind and attentive. She refilled our water glasses multiple times without us having to ask. Mikey was also kind and personalable. He stopped by our table to check-in and ensure our needs were met. It's hard to find good quality restaurants open on Mondays these days. I highly recommend if you're in the area.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zarielle (ZariTravelEats Yelp Elite) · Nov 2025

Stopped by around 7:30 pm for some dinner. No wait time, just a decent handful of people already dining in. Waitress was friendly and a lot of the items on the menu sounded really good to try. After placing out orders, it did it take a long time in between receiving each item. Our drinks came out pretty fast along with one of our appetizers, but following that, both our main entrees took forever. While we were waiting on them, we noticed my entree had been sitting on the hot bar for a good little minute waiting for the waitress to pick it up who was dealing with other customers for a long time; (4/10) on the wait time/service for me. We started with some Fried pickles (9/10) the batter and the pickles both tasted yummy, hot, and fresh. Voodoo wings in mild sauce (10/10) there was a slight

The restaurant is nice but... The bar is where it’s at!!! Sweet Danielle is my favorite bartender and she can chat you up for hours and sling the drinks. Take advantage of their 3-6pm daily happy hour specials on $1.50 oysters, clams, wings and drinks, and there’s so much more! $3 PBR’s, $5 margaritas If you love fresh clams… They have a delicious dish called the clam bucket where the clams are cooked in a savory garlic herb broth, and served with crostini. Wowww!! I love fresh clams so that is a flavor explosion on the taste buds. She-crab soup is the same recipe as The Aberdeen Barn’s famous she-crab soup. Same owner, so it’s the best of the best in Hampton Roads. Always had friendly conversations with other patrons, and the people coming in are cool folk. I only wish the bar were bi

I had the BEST STEAK SANDWICH EVER today! The Ribeye steak sandwich on the lunch menu is AMAZING! We also got 1/2 dozen oysters, fried green tomatoes, sweet potatoe fries for the baby, chicken nachos, bread pudding and carrot cake! All the food was very good! But be clear, the STEAK SANDWICH IS WHY I am going out of my way to GIVE THIS 5 star rating! Ribeye steak, toasted ciabatta roll , pepper jack cheese, thick cut bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion and some special sauce! I couldn’t eat it all… but have never looked forward to leftovers so much! I will be back!
