My husband had the Margarita on the Rocks which I was not a fan of. I did not like the mix they used to make thins drink. My son also tasted it and agreed with my opinion. The lettuce wraps were really good. My daughter in law and I both had the CALIFORNICATION burger, my husband had the CLASSIC burger, my son had the CAPONE Burger and everyone was really happy! All burgers were properly cooked and delicious. The fries were good, nothing special to write about. My husband had the fries with bacon dust and they were very sweet. He wasn't a fan but I thought they were delicious!

I prefer smaller burgers, I feel like the patty was gigantic, so not sure I'd come here again.

Years ago, Sophia and I ate here for lunch and liked what we ordered. Just over the weekend, we…read morestopped by just for the 2nd time for a repeat. The two of us hardly travel to Poquoson, but drove to the area to check out another place for dessert. Let's see how this visit turned out. We were greeted by the staff when we walked inside. They had a lot of customers for lunch and were busy serving them at tables and the bar area. The decor was well kept and spotless. You can tell they take really good care of the business. After a few minutes lookimg over the menu, we were ready to order. I selected the Pork Belly Cuban sandwich which came with their homemade chips. It was a really good lunch. Both the pork belly and sliced ham were cooked very well and plenty. I forgot what sauce they included (I believe it was chimichurri) really elevated the flavor in my opinion. And there was enough chips as a side which were crunchy and full. Sophia ordered a chili dog which she enjoyed. 1631 had us full for lunch. We'll be sure to stop by the next time we're in town. Till next time :)

They have great new beers and really really good fried pickles. The service today was by far the best service I have ever received. I ordered a Tuna burger, something I literally never order as I am very picky with fish but wanted to try something new (I am very big on texture and I frequently can't eat it not due to taste but texture) I didn't quite enjoy it for said texture (taste was great again tuna is just not my thing I think) they realized this, took it off my bill entirely and I believe it was the owner or chef came up and asked if I would like something complementary instead. They even wrote me an apology note (again NOT their fault at all it was delicious). I have been there twice this week and both times the food tasted fresh and amazing and it was genuinely the sweetest nicest interaction I have had to date at a restaurant ever and I'll absolutely be coming back.

Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge, 605 Pilot House Drive, Newport News, VA 23606…read more When I am traveling on business or pleasure, I always make the effort to support local brick and mortar cigar lounges and shops due to the onslaught of Government regulations that make it difficult for these lounges and shops to stay in business. I have visited cigar lounges and shops across the U.S., Asia, and Europe. I saw some good ones and some bad ones. I am in the mindset that you must experience bad ones so you can recognize the good ones. On a business trip to Hampton, VA, I visited Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge. Without a doubt, Tailored Smoke (https://tailoredsmoke.com/) is the WORST "cigar lounge" I have ever visited. I am loathed to call this a cigar lounge. The bad experience starts before you enter. It is trying to be a private lounge so you must pay a fee to make a reservation to get in. Once you are there, you are patted by like a common criminal. I do mean patted down. This off-duty cop seemed to take pleasure in slapping your private areas. Once in the door, you will find that you must pay another fee for a cover charge on top of the online fee for the reservation. However, you can use the online fee against the cover charge or your bar tab. Biggest issue is that they may not be able to find your reservation. Additionally, when the reservation was found they were confused whether it was for the smoking or non-smoking side (really???? Is this a cigar lounge or not?). We had to wait and got shuffled around for 30 minutes until they could find us a place to sit. We were shoved into a corner where people trampled over us as they navigated around high-top tables. My friend made the mistake of lighting up a cigarette. Instead of politely telling us cigarette smoking was not allowed, a woman in brown velvet-like jump suit got right up my face pointing her finger at me yelling to put the cigarette out. She was yelling so loud and so animated that she was spitting in my face. The waitress had no idea what spirits were available. We would be told one thing only to have waitress come back and tell up "ohhh we do not have that." Did I mention that in addition to the entry fees, you are required to purchase two cigars. Now, do not let the website fool you. The cupboards were bare. There were approximately five (5) labels to pick from. I only recognized a couple. I am talking about real throat burners. Overall, this is NOT a cigar lounge. I am not sure what to call it. After about an hour of the rude, unprofessional staff, the worst ambience (those pictures on the website must be from some other Tailored Smoke location), and poor service I had enough. I was ready to go after getting slapped in the junk on the pat down outside, however, my friend had arranged this, so I decided to give it a chance. Huge mistake. That is an hour in my life I will not get back. Cigar smokers....DO NOT GO TO Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge, 605 Pilot House Drive, Newport News, VA 23606. It is disappointing that this place is allowed to call itself a cigar lounge.

We…read moreheard this was a cool little hidden gem, in a building that's been around for a couple hundred years and is partially underground and very "speakeasy like". Super glad we stopped in, the vibe is incredibly comfortable and cool and envelops your soul. Ambience: super cool, comfortable, a little dark, exposed brick walls with plaster patches, hardwood floors, heavy wood and leather furniture, incredible bar that is more like two bars in an L-shape with an unbelievable selection of anything you could ever want. This place is very solid feeling, you just feel safe and tucked in. Service: was fantastic, we met the executive chef named Ty who greeted us before we even sat down, just saw us sitting in the foyer bar and came over to say hello, very cool. We were greeted and seated by an absolute sweetheart upfront named Jackson and our server couldn't have been nicer, her name was Casey. Food: the food is all served tapas style, smaller plates, but well curated with interesting and innovative ingredients with beautiful presentation. Unfortunately, they were out-of four things that my wife wanted, she didn't want all of them simultaneously, she wanted one and they were out, and that happened three more times. Apparently, they often order in smaller batches and buy locally so sometimes they don't have as much as someplace buying in bulk, that's as much a positive as a negative, not a bad thing, just a bit of a bummer that she didn't get her first few choices. She ended up with the duck tacos which were good. We started with the brussels sprouts, which were also good and had nice presentation. We also started with bacon wrapped tots, the dish came with four of them and chili ketchup, beautifully presented, and rich, creamy, crunchy and yummy. I ordered the braised beef and fry bread and it was my favorite thing, very beefy flavored, warm and rich on soft pillowy fry bread with some cool crunch and crispy, thin plantain slices, very good. We started with a Chocolate Cherry Old Fashioned that was delicious. Overall the food was very good and the value was decent at around $12-$16 per plate. Overall: this was a really good experience and I'd go back to try some of the things they were out of and enjoy the incredible bar and stellar, considerate, thoughtful service. Definitely recommend!
