Yorktown Pub was a solid stop and I had an overall good experience…read more I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were a special. They tasted great, the shrimp were cooked and seasoned very well. The biggest issue was the portion size. The special only came with two tacos, which only contained 6 shrimp in total, which felt a little light for a meal. I was also surprised by the bar. I asked for a mojito and was told that they couldn't make drinks that are not on their menu. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing because from the looks of it, they had a full-service bar, which I wouldn't think a mojito would be an issue to make. And no, I wasn't asking for a mojito during a busy time when the bartender was slammed. Overall, the food tasted very good and the waterfront location was hard to beat. It was only two small things that kept this from being a 5 star experience, but I absolutely would come back as I enjoyed myself.

The food was just OK, the calamari was good, but they included the tentacles and they were actually pretty gross. The chicken wings were all right, my salad was average. The other customers that were in the bar area seem to be regulars, maybe four or five people. Overall, just a very strange experience. A really large establishment with very few employees and very few customers. Definitely don't think we will return.

We had hoped to sit outside, but were told there was a large group on the patio and they weren't sure whether any tables were available, so we ended up inside. I had the Main Street Burger with provolone and fries. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable. My dining partner had the veggie burger and found it a bit dry. The Pinot Noir was passable, but not especially good. Service was good and everything was perfectly pleasant--this just wasn't quite our kind of place, especially with so many interesting local options in the area.

The crab soup was flavorful, and the shrimp tacos were absolutely amazing. Just keep in mind that you'll need to assemble the tacos yourself. The Cobb salad was fresh and crisp, and the hush puppies were a standout--we absolutely loved them! Overall: Food: A+ Service: C If the service matched the quality of the food, this would have been an exceptional dining experience.

Before putting the South Carolina mustard sauce on my pulled chicken sandwich, they even had me taste it first to make sure I liked it. I did--and the sandwich was delicious. The basket came with fries and was a winner. We also tried the pulled pork sandwich, which had a really nice bit of spice, and the pork rib platter with candied yams and onion rings, served over rice with a biscuit. We liked all of it. Friendly people, generous food, and really good BBQ. This is exactly the kind of unassuming local spot I'm happy to find while traveling. Would definitely return.

My husband always gripes about going to BBQ places and getting cold or lukewarm food so we are…read morealways looking to find a place that meets this expectation. I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.

In a crowded bar environment, that felt irresponsible and concerning. If someone is bringing a dependent person into that setting, there should be supervision and not leaving them alone. I was asked to leave the bar when I expressed my concerns. York County Police Department were involved. They were no help at all. They were ok with it. I hope management is more aware of situations like this. Safety should matter.

To be fair, we do come in with usually at least 10-14 people. The service from everyone here has always been very nice. Conversely, there's only ever been like 1 or 2 staff at most. Service times for when we go aren't what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant as most places I think almost read your mind when you come in. It's like some sort of magic trick I swear. Anywho - one of the biggest wins for this place are the tacos. Seriously - they're just phenomenal. Last time I was here I got a chicken plate and it was 'ok'... however, learning from what everyone else ordered last time, tacos (flour preferred for me), is the way to go. :) Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very open, relaxed.

She handed us our menus, then stated, "We got started a little late, so we are not serving breakfast today." I explained that the only reason we traveled from Norfolk to Newport News was to have breakfast at this establishment. She apologized but reiterated that they were not serving breakfast. I was hungry for waffles, so we decided to find another restaurant. Before leaving, I asked to use the restroom. The restroom was immaculate and very comfortable. As I was coming out, the hostess offered, "we stop serving breakfast at 1:00 pm (it was approaching 12 by then). Now my disappointment was...1.) we were the only people in the restaurant 2.) She could have gone to the cook and asked for a one-time favor to make me some waffles. 3.) Offer a possible discount if we come back at another time. (which I would have done). We did find a place that served an excellent breakfast. I am always looking to support BIPOC businesses. This was very disappointing.

The ambiance is cute and kitschy, which I enjoy. Basically for a weekday breakfast (not busy, no rush), make sure to budget a minimum of 2 hours because you won't be able to get anyone's attention to order or pay. It is what it is. I don't go when I'm in any kind of hurry. We've been a couple of times and while the food is good-- it's definitely not my go to.
