Schooners Grill Newport News

Came in for brunch last Sunday with a party of 11 and we were quickly seated. Our waitress was quick and friendly and our orders came out pretty fast considering the place was almost full. The portions were large, were very flavorful and worth the money. We didn’t eat outside, but there was a pretty sizable area with outside seating. The parking lot was a little tight, but manageable.

Our waitress was Savanna and she got us everything we needed! The Calamari was very good! The marinara for it was somewhat spicy which surprised us but it did have a very good flavor so I took the leftover home to cut it with cream cheese. The gyro was big and somewhat dry. T Savanna got me extra tzatzki sauce and that helped. I've definitely had better Greek salad. The shrimp skewers had a very nice flavor and were cooked perfectly. The grilled veggies were squash, peppers, onions and mushrooms and were also very good. The onion rings were battered and great. Overall we had a nice time.

My 1st visit w/my husband & father & the service was absolutely on point. Our waitress Laurie was so attentive & polite. Our food was absolutely good & the portions were very big. We had a slight issue w/our chicken but that was immediately taken care of & taken off the bill. We will definitely be returning. Our only regret is that we hadn't visited sooner.

Solid choice. Recommend by the guy at the front desk of our hotel when we were in town for a concert at the Hampton Coliseum. Went for the blackened mahi tacos. Fish was cooked perfectly! Really enjoyed the meal. Prices reasonable and service was good. Great fuel for attending a concert and an easy Uber/Lyft ride to the venue.

Angie, the bartender/waitress, was amazing! She provided attentive service and made sure everything was perfect — even checked to make sure my pizza was good. I ordered the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Pizza, and it was incredible. I got the 10-inch and ended up eating the whole thing by myself, lol. Definitely recommend stopping by — great food and great service!
