We stopped here on our way from DC to Wilmington. The hotel itself has a super cool story and the…read morespace in which the restaurant is located feels really beautiful, grand and historic. It is spacious with lots of natural light (if you eat during the day). We ended up being one of two tables because we came at an odd time. There was only one person working front of house, Melissa, and it looked like she was bartender, hostess and server while we were there. Despite that she did a great job. She was gracious, attentive and even pulled out my chair for me. She knew about the building's history and seemed to take genuine pride. So if that is an indication of what the service is like all the time then A++. Food was decent, not mind-blowing. But I thought the quality was there. Ingredients were fresh. Prices were high end for the area but reasonable for the preparation and presentation. Food was well prepared. My only real complaint is my fried okra kept sliding out of its batter.

When we went, only the bar area was open, but there were tables in that section and we were able to sit comfortably as a family of four. Our waitress was really sweet and personable, which always makes a difference--especially when you're traveling with kids. The food was delicious. I ordered the smash burger, my husband had the salmon, and both were excellent. The kids ordered from the kids' menu--chicken tenders and a burger--and everything came with fries. We also ordered the sweet potato fries and those were a standout--definitely recommend them. Overall, it was a great stop during our trip with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our experience at Shirley's.

Prices: FAIR Food: delicious and seasoned perfectly Menu: tastefully eclectic, yet classic Vibe: immaculate, music is on point, decor makes you feel like a regular at a pub in an indie film. Service: this is my third visit and the waitresses have all been attentive, sociable, and just flat out kind. Recommendations: Caesar Salad w/Steak Add On: this is a house made dressing and the steaks is beautiful juicy and salted perfect Petersburger : the sweet onion jam with the bacon does something to your soul. Not to mention the fries are natural cut, but not floppy at all, they are bombbb. My wife and I have determined this is a dartboard restaurant (you could throw darts blindly at the menu, order whatever you hit, and go home happy) Critique: The two times my wife ordered steak here it was slightly under cooked, however, they gladly and speedily fixed the issue.

Here is the combined, high-energy review that shows your deep love for the spot: **Rating: (5/5)** ### The Milk & Honey Phenomenon: My Official Hampton Favorite I came in with the mission to try everything on the menu, but I'm going to be honest--I'm already hopelessly stuck on my favorites! This place has officially become my #1 spot in Hampton. It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, the consistency, the 10-star decor, and the "royal" atmosphere always deliver. ** The Vibe & The Art** The atmosphere is like a high-end nightclub lounge meets a classy art gallery. Surrounded by phenomenal **Artbae** portraits of legends like **Prince, Duke Ellington, and Sammy Davis Jr.**, you just find your "lucky table" and soak it all in. It's the best seat in the city, period. ** Top-Shelf Service & The "Rewards Fumble"** The service is unmatched. **Taj** behind the bar is a master of the craft, staying in perfect stride with a buzzing Friday crowd while keeping things personable. **Pro Tip:** Don't be like me--**get your rewards points!** I have missed my "coins" the last couple of times I came because the second that food hits the table, it is so succulent and ready to be devoured that points are the *last* thing on my mind. Put your phone number in the system before you pull that door to leave! ** The Sweet Potato Revelation: Butter Glazed Biscuits** The **Butter Glazed Biscuits** are a life-altering event. Cinnamon-infused biscuits with a **sweet potato crumble and sweet potato butter**, plus that phenomenal cinnamon jam... it's a decadent masterpiece. It feels like a high-end cake met a breakfast pancake. ** The Battle of the Cajun Pasta** The **Cajun Pasta with Shrimp and Crab** is a heavyweight battle. * **The Succulent Giants:** Huge, juicy shrimp and a portion of crab meat so generous it's a struggle to finish. * **The Heat:** That perfect, "oily" spicy kick that keeps you twirling your fork even when your mouth is on fire. ** The Verdict: Phenomenal Value** You get 10-star quality and legendary vibes at a **phenomenal and reasonable price**. Whether you're finishing your plate or taking home a trophy bag of **Honey Bay Wings**, you're leaving happy. **Milk & Honey is the crown jewel of Hampton. Worth the trip, worth the wait, and absolutely worth the burn. 10/10.** *Love the art?

For a price that usually only buys a simple sandwich combo elsewhere, you get an absolute feast. Food Breakdown * The Meats: The platter comes stacked with a juicy smoked sausage link, a tender slab of ribs with excellent bark, a deeply flavorful piece of chicken, and a perfectly assembled BBQ brisket slider. * The Sides: The classic, creamy baked mac and cheese is topped with a rich dusting of seasoning, and it pairs perfectly with a massive, golden-brown slice of sweet cornbread. * The Extras: The deep-fried Cue balls are a stellar crispy addition, giving an incredible texture contrast to the rest of the meal. Recommend these tasty little treats. The Vibe & Verdict Everything looks beautifully smoked, seasoned to perfection, and served in an authentic, no-nonsense bar atmosphere. Finding this quality of slow-smoked barbecue alongside an entire lineup of scratch-made sides for $20 is a total steal. If you are looking for top-tier comfort food that will completely fill you up without breaking the bank, this spot is a mandatory visit. Only thing is I wish food was a little more moist and they had TVs to watch some sports. Other than that, hands down most bang for your buck at this BBQ Joint! Oh, and they offer a military discount and the servers are extremely attentive of your every need!

There is a pretty small public parking lot directly across the street, and it was full, so I'm not 100% sure if we parked in the public parking or the parking lot of the glass shop next-door since there weren't really any signs. I really hate parking in the middle of any town, but it wasn't too bad. But I'm still not sure if we could've gotten a ticket or not. You seat yourself in this really awesome classic rock themed restaurant. The decor is great, a perfect mix of interesting things to look at, without being super claustrophobic-ly overwhelming. It is really cute. We took a minute to look over the menu, and decided on the house cut chips appetizer, and both a beef and chicken Shawarma for us to try both. The beef Shawarma was delicious. I really like the seasoning that they use on their meat or sauce or something. I never could place what it was or where it was, but the flavor is just heavenly. A little sweet, a little savory and delicious. The fresh pickled veggies were also amazing. They were still crisp with that snap that you really want with pickled foods. Chicken Shawarma was definitely my favorite since it had slightly different pickled vegetables. They were both good, but the chicken was definitely my favorite by just a touch. The bread was a little hard and chewy for my likings, it definitely stood up to the creamy sauce and the juicy pickled vegetables, but it almost hurt my teeth if you just had a dry spot that hadn't been soaking in some form of liquid. The house cut chips are just OK, nothing special by themselves, but that trio of dipping sauces was amazing. We were dipping our fries into it because we liked those a little better than the chips, but we ate almost every drop of that sauce trying to figure out which one was our favorite. one of the hot sauces is blueberry and very sweet with a mild spice, one is I think mango and not spicy initially, but when you swallowed, you definitely felt it burn in the back of your throat. It was a nice sneaky heat, which I love. And the third dipping sauce, we could not place, but we literally could not figure out which one we loved the most. They have a patio outside with lots of tables, but we did not go out there. It looks cute in the pictures though. The downside, is that while the service was very great, if you catch them out a bad time, they don't yet seem to be able to handle huge amounts of orders. They've only been open for about two months, I think, so that will come in time. It seems that they only have one guy cooking in the back, so we were unluckily there at the same time as a table of eight people. If we had all the time in the world, I could have sat and stared at the decor for ages. But unfortunately, if you are on a lunch break or have to be somewhere, they could potentially be so backed up it takes quite a while to actually get your food. It was a rare and random set of circumstances, and probably does not happen often, and she generously comped our chips which was not necessary but was very appreciated. The service here is absolutely top-notch. We will definitely be back for more of that delicious Shawarma. Definitely earlier in the day though, so we can sit as long as we want.
