    Crab cakes, collard greens, yams
    Anika W.

    Came here for a birthday dinner. I arrived to the party standing across the bar waiting as they don't take reservations. We were seated in about an hour after arriving. They were not able to accommodate the party size so we were split up at 3 different tables in the restaurant. I personally didn't mind as the birthday boy just got up and visited us at the different tables. Being at a smaller booth was a plus because we received faster service. I ordered the blush cocktail which was balanced & pleasant. My man ordered a Shirley temple. For food, I ordered the fried whiting with yams and mac and cheese. My man got the crab cakes with yams and collard greens, We also ordered cornbread. The whiting was fried nicely & well seasoned. 8.5/10. The yams were solid I'd give those a 7.5/10 solid but not memorable. The Mac and cheese was a 4/10. It had an unpleasant aftertaste and the taste didn't sit right with me. I'm a big fan of Mac and cheese & will tolerate most but this one I didn't want to keep eating. The greens were nice and tender to my liking but lacked spice and flavor I'd give them a 6.5/10. The crab cakes were solid nothing I'd go out of my way for but a good typical crab cake 7.5/10. The cornbread was sweet which I enjoy at an 8.5/10. Overall this is a cool lowkey spot to grab dinner. It's affordable so if you're interested in going out for dinner but it being more on the chill side I'd stop here. Plastic utensils, cheap but good food and average service. It's got charm.

    I grabbed dinner here the other day during Restaurant Week. I went with a good friend. They had 3 course meals with a teaser, entree, and dessert for $35. I had the hot wings, cornmeal battered catfish, and fried apple pie. My friend had shrimp, fried turkey chops smothered with onions, and the fried sweet potato pie. The hot wings had a sweet and tangy glaze. The catfish was nice and flaky. I had the yams, collards, and cabbage. All of the sides were very good! Our server Sophia was good - she checked in us and kept our drinks filled. Get the Arnold Palmer!! They have tables and booths. The fried apple pie was good. It resembled a burrito filled with apple filing.

    I wanted to check out this restaurant since it was Portsmouth restaurant week but I was super disappointed. It took me an hour to receive my to go order. The chicken wings were just okay and there were tons of feathers on them and they were greasy. The cabbage was the best part of the meal because it was seasoned to perfection. The macaroni and cheese was too salty for me. The bartender was the only one taking to to orders, calls ins, and bagging orders. He definitely deserves five stars because he was so patient helping everyone!

    I fell upon this Soul Food Restaurant a few months ago and let's just say every time I am passing thru Portsmouth, 8 out of 10 times I call to place an order to pick up. This little gem is not located on the main streets but nestled right in between some residential area. There is a small parking lot and street parking available... I order the same exact thing every-time I dine there. I truly enjoy their fried shrimp appetizer and Highly recommend them. They are a decent size and you can't beat the price. I order the Fried Catfish Platter with Collards and Bake Mac and Cheese. The mac and cheese is not my favorite but it gets the job done. Don't for get to a price of cornbread for $1 This platter has not disappointed me yet.

    Charm & Manners in Portsmouth, VA was a great experience. The host greeted us immediately when we walked in and seated us at a booth. It had just opened and we were the first guests there, so things were still getting settled. Our waitress never came over, so the young man who seated us ended up taking care of us instead. I didn`t catch his name, but our check said Kyle J, and he was absolutely wonderful--very kind, attentive, and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. I ordered the catfish with mashed potatoes and gravy, along with collard greens. The catfish was absolutely superb--hot, perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Both sides were great, especially the mashed potatoes and gravy. My friend ordered the meatloaf with cabbage and mashed potatoes, and we shared bites of each other's meals. We both agreed that everything was fantastic. Great food, great music, and great service. We will definitely be back again and again!

    Smothered grilled turkey chops, rice and gravy, and cabbage

    My husband and I ate here during restaurant week, which was not a good idea due to the large crowd. We got there right before the crowd, but felt the impact due to the delay in our dessert. This is a cool little southern spot with cool artwork. It's a bit chilly in there, felt as if the heat was not turned on and then an employee kept opening the door which caused it to become more cold. Now the food--the food was the best soulfood I've had in a very long time. I ordered the grilled turkey chops, rice and gravy, and cabbage--all amazing. I also ordered a mimosa which was served extremely warm. My husband ordered the smothered pork chops, yams, and Mac and cheese-- & he said they were the best yams he's had in a long time. All of the food was amazing. I never received my fried Oreos due to the crowd. We will definitely be back during a time other than restaurant week. Food is very reasonably priced.

    The restaurant is in the old District location. I went during restaurant week and ordered two meals: Three slices of Meatloaf is was delicious. Sides were collards and yams. The Collards are a little spicy and good flavor. The yams were tasty. Grilled turkey chops smothered in onions. This a GREAT alternative to eating red meat. They grilled the chops to perfection and seasoned very well. The chops were juicy and flavorful. Sides Mac n cheese it was cheesy on the dry side and now Cabbage I love them it was not over seasoned. Finally the desserts Sweet Potato pie I would get again. The Fried Apple pie is a pastry with apple filling and fried with toppings of cinnamon and sugar.

    Catfish dinner w green beans a Mac. Fried wings dinner w Mac, collard, and yams.
    Amor J.

    Love the food. I am local so I eat here often. It is never a miss. I typically get the fried wings dinner w Mac, yams, and collards. The portions are enough for me to make two meals for me when I add the extra side dish. Recently took my father there to try the catfish because I know he likes fish battered in cornmeal. He is a tough critic so I was nervous. He loved every bite! Other selections I have had were the turkey chips and mash w gravy and green beans w/ a side of corn bread. Everything is delicious and appetizing. Definitely a must try if you love old school soul food.

    Good Day Yelpers!!!…read more It's been a while since I last posted a review, and I figured a good way to get back to it was a post of a cigar lounge. Cigar lounges are popping up everywhere around the Tidewater area, and last week, I came across Magoos Cigar Lounge (established in 2021). Sitting at the corner of Main and Atlantic St in downtown Norfolk. Across the street, the Marriot Hotel and the Hilton are nearby, so the location is perfect for visitors. This cigar lounge is very roomy, with plenty of cozy seating spread out around the pound. Magoos have four TV monitors, mostly for sporting events and the news, and all seating is in good view of them. Plenty of stylish ashtrays are available, as are some really lovely coffee and end tables. Membership is available, and it comes with a locker. The exhaust system is top-notch, allowing for smoke to vent clearing, making for a good experience. The humidor is stocked with various premium cigars but is on the small side. I brought a nub there, and it burned a little slow, leading me to believe that the humidity was a little high in the humidor. I recommend buying any cigars there, letting them sit in your own humidor, and bringing something from home. I also thought the price was a little expensive, but there are some good smokes in there Water, coffee, energy drinks, and soda are also available. Cigar accessories, prep stations, and a pool table add a nice touch. The vibe is relaxed, and plenty of windows allow for a nice view. Open 11 am to 8 pm Monday through Thursday, 10 pm Friday and Saturday, and 6 pm Sunday. These hours can be flexible depending on special events. What does it for me here is the location and space A nice place, and I will be back. Happy Yelping.

    Casual date night or a spot to hang out with friends with some layback tunes this is the perfect…read morespot to be at especially when they have special pop up. We went out for acid fish which was a pop mediterranean raw fish experience, and they delivered all the way through with the combination of fish as well as the flavor profile of each and how the presentation is. You just immediately are very pleased with everything I would recommend trying them out when they come through again and they do pop in quite frequently at this lounge and this was my first time ever trying them out and I'm very pleased of the service as well as the introduction of each component of the dish, the cooks were very friendly, as well as given us guidance of what choices to choose from based off of the menu. The menu does change each time they do come so items that you will see will vary, depending on what they are putting on for the menu. We try their Sicilian sashimi that was definitely a 10 out of 10 and good for people that want to kind of share rather than have a full plate is definitely well proportion as well as light and not too heavily in on the pallet. The vibes vary from day to day depending on what time you get there it can get really packed so the earlier the better if you want more of a calm night I would suggest getting there early rather later cause that is usually when the dj that are going on that night come in that's usually there peak time. The drinks are well crafted I tried their cocktail called Saturn it had a sweet taste and was more of tropical with the passion fruit perfect pairing with the raw fish dish we tried tonight. If you're looking for a spot that has more of chill vibe and has good music with different styles and beats each day this is the place for you.

There's now a security table/desk where the DJ booth used to be; definitely wasted space where more tables and chairs could've been added instead. Had to stand for about 10 mins before some people finally left then we had to like "hurry" to get the seats before anyone else got them. We needed an extra chair at our table and went up to the security to ask if he knew where anymore could be or if we could borrow the one that was behind his table since he seemed to only be standing all night, but he responded kind of harsh with a stern "NO"....def unnecessary. Even though he was rude, the bartenders were the opposite, making funny light conversation and friendly while we ordered and waited for our drinks. The atmosphere was a nice, chill, and intimate vibe, with red/orange lighting. To drink: I tried the Saturn (8/10) it was pretty good, I liked the flavor, but there really didn't seem to be much alcohol in it fr. To eat: we ordered a Margherita Pizza and added Pepperoni (10/10) it was fresh, flavorful, and all around really good. There were hints of spice in the sauce that really added to the flavors. Their pizza seems to be a popular menu item as I seen pizza boxes on almost every table throughout the night. Def will be back again, but next time, we're going to get there early, so we can have a table for the night. Looked like once people secured themselves a table in here, they held it all night long and never moved / left till closing. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10
