I had a great/ memorable dining experience at the Texas Roadhouse in Newport news (VA) on 18 April 2019 (my first time). Service/ hospitality was super - kudos to our server Mikaela who was pleasnt,fast and on top of refills. Everything we ordered was out quickly. The food was perfect. Big steak (you can pick any cut - I had ribeye) cooked to perfection (MR in my case). Bread, appetizers & main course out in just a couple of minutes. If you are lookiing for a great steak, quick service and enjoyable ambiance, Texas Roadhouse will fill the bill 100%.

New place needs some atmosphere from locals, to make it a super local pub!Food is great and kitchen does not mind suggestions, changes to menu ( where it was allowed). Do not judge a book by it's cover!

I had an OK chicken salad but was tremendously impressed by my father's burger. Huge juicy burger and delicious fries. TVs all around, full bar and friendly staff. If you are in the area its a must but I wouldn't go out of the way to get here.

Great breakfast! This place has all the potential in the world but remains just a ma and pa dinner with ok food. Great place if you are in the area but don't go out of you way. If you do however the garbage eggs are delicious!

This very casual, almost old-fashioned restaurant serves high quality food. My husband and I had a delicious lunch yesterday. My chicken souvlaki sandwich was filled with very fresh and ripe chopped tomatoes, onions, broiled chicken pieces and crisp lettuce, and the homemade potato chips (requested as a sub for fries) were fantastic - uniformly thin, large, crispy and not at all oily. He said the tomato sauce on the chicken parm sandwich was perfect - a little spicy and not at all sweet. Service was friendly. The wait for the food was about right, and prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount.

Weâve been going here since they opened and this past year the service has completely changed. The wait averages 90-120 minutes when the restaurant is half empty. The last visit we never even got our food. The waitress only came over once and that was to take our order. The owner stopped by and asked what was wrong and we explained the service and she said we could leave... sadly there are several reviews out there with the same experience. This was by far our worst experience at a restaurant ever. There are two sides to every story, now I'll tell mine. When you pull into a restaurant and the parking lot is so full that people are parked in the grass...we may be busy. When you have to wait to be seated because there are no empty tables...we may be busy. You were not even in our place for 90-120 minutes, so you can't speak about "the average wait". You didn't get your food Saturday night because you made such a scene and chose to leave. And being the classy people that you are, you allowed your child to dump Cheetos on the floor and stomp on them. Let's not forget how the "adults" at the table dumped their drinks all over the table on the way out the door....again, classy move! You were so hateful you made the server cry as well as upset an elderly woman. The rest of our guests were laughing at your behavior. From now on if you want fast service I suggest a fast food restaurant, not a place where everything is fresh and made to order.

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.

The pizzas we ordered lived up to this restaurantâs reputation. The combination pizza in particular, was pleasing and flavorful. We had one pizza with Canadian bacon, which was mostly good, though the Canadian bacon didnât taste all that great. The menu items are priced fairly, with prompt and friendly service by the staff.

I've visited the Poquoson,VA location for Surf Rider several times for lunch with a great group of ladies after one of our organizations meetings. We usually get there between 11:30 and noon during on a week day. The service is always prompt. I like the view of the Poquoson river you get from any place you sit. The big windows all around the dinning area keep it bright and scenic. The seafood is among the freshest around with very filling portions.

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.
