Fried Chickaronees and fried oysters are well prepared and cooked to perfection. The hot sauce that comes with it, is perfect. Provides the perfect amount of heat. Soft-shell crab platter was good as well! I wish I could have gotten more because my son kept taking all of it. Ahi sesame seared tuna tasted fresh and well prepared as well. Customer service was top-notch as well. Everyone in my party of 10+ was impressed and satisfied with the food and exceptional customer service. Looking forward to the next time! Great seafood, food quality and customer service is top notch. If you are in the heart of Great Bridge, don't hesitate and check this place out it's one of the best in the business.

We stopped in for lunch at Bad Habits Wing and Oyster Bar in the heart of Great Bridge and, with…read morethe room pleasantly unhurried, secured seats at the bar--our preferred vantage point. We began with a garden salad, a straightforward but well-executed mix of fresh greens, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and croutons, finished with a balsamic vinaigrette. Crisp, balanced, and properly dressed, it set a solid foundation for the meal. For the main course, we opted for chicken wings and a side of onion rings. The wings arrived piping hot, juicy, and well-prepared. While we ordered them on the spicier side, the heat level was more restrained than expected--flavorful, but lacking the assertive kick that true heat seekers might be looking for. The onion rings, by contrast, delivered exactly as hoped: crisp, golden, and satisfying, with a clean bite and no excess grease. Overall, the experience was an enjoyable one--uncomplicated, well-executed, and comfortable. It's a place we'll gladly return to, especially for a relaxed meal at the bar.

I'm not sure when the dj is present but I'd highly recommend a ladies night or date night here for a fun and casual date night!

So, I was hopeful that the WXYZ lounge and bar in Chesapeake would be similar and provide a great atmosphere to get together for a fun, chill hangout with our friends. We were not disappointed. There was ample seating and a large table where we were able to share a meal and play board games. The lounge has games in the lobby area, which we weren't expecting, but was nice to see. We had brought our own games. My friend ordered a mocktail and enjoyed it. The four of us ordered chicken buffalo dip and fish and chips to share. I couldn't eat the chicken buffalo dip because I have a dairy allergy, but everyone said it was good. I did really enjoy the fish and chips. The fries were hot, thick, and well seasoned. The cod was very tasty as well, the skin was perfectly crispy but the meat was tender inside. While we didn't take pictures of the menu this time, I took a look at the menu online and there are some options listed on the website that were not printed on the physical menus we saw, but for what was the same the prices matched. The fish and chips isn't on the website but was on the physical menu and was affordable (two pieces or cod and ample fries). Our server (also the bartender) was nice and provided good service. The hours that they're open make it a great hangout spot for Friday nights and weekends. The restrooms are clean. The noise level was moderate and fine. We definitely recommend for hanging out with friends and will be coming back in the future.

There are seats at the bar, high tops, and tables, so just be patient and claim your place when one frees up. The servers will appreciate you. Our server, Makaya S. was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our orders of traditional wings. My husband ordered his in Nashville Hot, but I opted for Mango Habanero for my flavor. Yummy! We shared fries, which were pretty good, just needed a little more salt. My husband really liked their sweet tea, but I enjoyed a refreshing Bold Rock Imperial Berry on draft! This sports bar & grill restaurant was busy, most likely due to the special on wings, but the arrival of our food orders to our table was so fast! Thanks to Buckets and your kitchen staff and notably quick servers for making Wednesday a great dining option for Chesapeake!

A plate of chicken wings, hot buffalo, took about 25 minutes. A long time but the place was busy and I enjoyed two light beers while it took a while. The wings were fresh and hot, decently meaty and enjoyable, served with two pots of blue cheese and celery. Booths and tables and bar seating. If you're looking for a quiet meal, this isn't the spot. If sports and wings and beer is what you want, this is the spot. [Review 902 of 2025 - 1491 in Virginia - 24458 overall]

And not just amazing one day, both days the food was equally good!! Idk if it was the same chef both days, but the consistency and goodness, mannnnn I couldn't stop saying "oh my goodness this is so so good" The first morning, our waitress was Heather and then Sequoia took over for her. The next day Charice (spelling wrong I know). All three ladies had superb customer service skills. All were attentive and friendly. Charice was the best if I had to choose. :) She went a little more over the top!! Our hotel stay was already 100% and now our dining experience was 150%... I'm loving it!! We didn't try any thing other than breakfast, but we already have plans to return again. Booth seating, table seating and seating lounge style in front of personal TV's are available. I'd recommend you give this place a try!! Have fun :)

We returned a second time and super busy on a Tuesday same time-why? Fish and Chips Thursday (1/2 price). Not too long of a wait though -1/2 hour and went fast as we had a drink at the Bar. We tried a couple of appetizers-goat cheese dip and fire cracker shrimp-both tasty. The Bacon stuffed Gouda burger was ordered on both visits -Ground Chuck/Proper Tavern Burger and it was that good! Fish and Chips were also ordered both visits-perfectly battered Haddock living up to the Tavern billing. The Tavern Monte Cristo is one to try. Battered and fried sandwich is never a bad idea-we loved it! We had a mix of draft beers (import)-they had Carlsberg (Danish) which isn't easy to find as well we had a Scottish Ale. Overall, an ample import draft list. Service was super engaged and upbeat from beginning to end on both visits. They are a Futbol Tavern and they mentioned they do get quite busy and have an even more of a fun atmosphere during the season-too bad we only visit during the Futbol off season-summer. We saw banners for Oktoberfest celebrations. Specials Monday-Thursday including Whiskey, wine and Wellington! Also, have a couple of sister locations in Hampton and Fredericksburg. Most definitely has been added to our must stops when visiting the Beach!

The mug club you get a full mug (so 24 oz) for the price of one pint. I have to ask if there's rules on what beer you order but that will be in the next review.... on to the food! My husband got the shepherds pie and he said this was an easy 10/10 the lamb was cooked perfectly. Great seasoning and overall flavor this is a hit. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage... man it's going to be hard to try other things on the menu because this was actually perfect. Well, one thing I would LOVE to see is some gravy on the mashed potatoes or even on the side. The potatoes taste great themselves but something in this dish is lacking diverse flavor I feel like that would have brought everything together to make it 10/10. I will still get it again though! Beware for all of my savory people... the cabbage is cooked to have a sweeter taste idk if I loved that but I added a little salt and it was fine. Carrots and mustard were great additions. Needless to say, I rarely ever finish my entire place and I stuffed myself full of corned beef to make sure I got every left bit. Can't wait to come back and try the fish and chips next!
