Honestly I ate here twice and both times it was the breakfast buffet, which was average at best. The restaurant is known for its burgers and bar food, so I canât judge them too harshly for the breakfast. One suggestion though, donât try the grits!Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for not meeting expectations regarding breakfast buffet and grits during your visit. We invite you back to try our delicious burgers the next time you are in Newport News! Thank you again for your review, and we hope to see you again soon. Sincerely, Burger Theory
9. Crab Shack Seafood Restaurant on the James

Reviewed By Ancheviaggio
The view looking west of the James River is spectacular. We were there for a social event that started in the early evening. There is indoor and outdoor capacity. The bar is good and the food, while nothing exceptional, is adequate and fairly priced. Service was good, particularly considering that we were a large group. The television over the bar is tuned to Fox news: so some folks will be delighted and others offended. We would return on a nice afternoon or evening just to enjoy drinks and the wonderful view of a sunset over the James.

We have eaten at Mellow Mushroom before and have always been pleased with the food. It's great that you may choose a "personal" size pizza so everyone does not have to eat pizza or the same pizza and the menu has a nice variety of choices. The specialty Pizzas are all very very good. The service is also very good. There are also seats around the bar and the bar atmosphere is very friendly .. Good Drinks! The only thing I that I can say needs improvement is the noise level... It's a little loud, but I find this to be the case in many restaurants now.Thank you for your review. I am thrilled you had a great experience with us. I am very happy you enjoyed your pizza and the cocktails. Please come back and see us again soon.

We stopped here on the way back from Yorktown. It is a smhomemadepitaall place hidden in the rear. When we walked in, there was only a bartender/server/hostess/etc. She was very nice and very friendly. She seated us promptly and took our drink order. If you love appetizers, you will love this place. The crab dip is very good. My daughter loved the homemade pita chips. The pretzel mozzarella sticks are amazing. They are so tasty and the homemade beer mustard sauce is the perfect compliment. The burgers are hand made and very thick. I ordered mine medium, but the thick center was medium and the thinner outside was well done. This is a nice place but a little dim and looks like it caters better to a night life. The cigar/vape chest in the entrance is a little off putting. The staff is very nice, the appetizers are amazing, and the burgers are good.

To Cheddar's to have some quality time and to enjoy a hearty meal. Cheddar's never let me down regarding that hearty meals good customer service and excellent drinks. Cheddar's is a good restaurant to spend time with family and friends. However the carpeting and Decor has become dated. Many restaurants are updating their decor in addition to Cheddar's having good food hopefully they'll focus on having a good look here in the near future.

I really enjoyed my visit and this was actually my first time ever visiting here. While some of my friends felt it was a great restaurant, it was a little pricey but to me, I disagree. You pay for great food and experience! Will definitely be back.

Friendly servers, good bartender, good food, great place to hang out. The place is clean and easy to navigate inside, with ample parking outside. Big menu of assorted barbeque meats, which can be bought in huge sizes for parties. The bartender does the artwork on the chalkboard, which was cute.

We came at lunch at 11:15 and it was empty. There were about 5 to 10 servers and staff standing in the open kitchen area all talking including our waitress. One of the staff was using really bad language over and over again openly . If I were a manager I would have fired her right on the spot. I asked for no coleslaw and well done on the bbq. Sandwich came with slaw on the plate and bread where they scraped it off before serving it to me. The bbq was chewy and fatty. We sent a large plate back with nothing but fat. They brought us a better selection of pulled pork. In summary the service was ok, food poor. The management needs to make the staff more attentive instead of all hanging out talking. For number one on TripAdvisor I will try other choices prior to returning. On a positive note they did compensate my meal but I never did meet or talk to a manager at all or even see one. The waitress was the only person we talked to. We have been here about 10 times so far this year and have always recommended it to friends. What a bummer.

We went here based on reviews. Also we wanted to go somewhere casual (kids were coming from a tournament) yet with good food. This fit the bill. With outdoor seating, bar and tables and booths for indoor seating, you can go casual or dress up. The food quality was all very good. We had fried pickles, rockfish, salmon and more. Cocktails were good and wine and beer selection. Prices were also good. They also had a meal for $21.99 with appetizer, full size entree and dessert. The salad with apple vinegar dressing was excellent (not usually a fan of the side salad). Service was attentive.
