    Bacon Cheese Fries, Onion Rings

    Always such a great experience at this cookout. We went stupidly late and although nervous of the quality, it all came out extremely hot and fresh. I was so pleased to find out that they would put bacon on the cheese fries, definitely a go to from here on out. The service is always quick and friendly. No interior to review but if they had it, it would be 10/10.

    Not really sure what's going on tonight. It's not busy being that we pulled right up to the ordering menu. Took almost two minutes to be greeted at the window and the intercom system had so much feedback it took two people to take our order. Ordered two BBQ Plates to keep it short. Only thing I'm satisfied with is that i received my food in less that five minutes. Smells good tho

    Hamburgers. Cajun fries and cheese balls.

    My friend recommended this place to me and I must say, I was not super impressed. I do like the fact that they are open very late, so they can fill that late night fast food craving you have. I honestly feel bad that I didn't like the food because the customer service was some of the best I've seen from fast food in the Norfolk area (which really isn't saying much haha). I went to the drive thru and the worker seemed cheerful, and when he forgot my drink, he quickly apologized and provided me my drink, and was very fast in providing me honey mustard for my fries when I requested. (Which I must say, their honey mustard is actually really good) As far as the food, it definitely wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was.. okay. I ordered a bacon burger with Cajun fries and cheese bites as well as a cheesecake shake. The burger didn't have any mayo, mustard, or ketchup.. luckily I had some in my hotel.. maybe I'm mistaken but don't burgers usually come with some sort of sauce inside so it's not just a dry burger? Aside from that, it was a good burger. The Cajun fries were probably the best part, the seasoning they use is really good; however, they were a slight soggy for my liking. The cheese bites were very mediocre. Once again, not bad, but not great. The cheesecake shake was good, but my goodness was it thick. I mean my straw was completely flat from me sucking so hard trying to get a sip. I will say I am picky with milkshakes when they are too thick, but I mean, if I want something so thick that I can't drink it and have to use a spoon, I'll just order ice cream... haha Would I come here again on my own? Maybe if it was super late and nothing else was open. Would I come here if my friend wanted to? Probably. Food: 2/5 Customer Service: 4/5 Average Score: 3/5 Bonus points for having some really good honey mustard and being open late +.5 Final Score: 3.5/5

    Hair in the food

    Ordered something with the cheese bites as a side and there was literally so much hair stuck through the crust I could pick multiple bites up with a single strand and when I took the food back the main manager was super difficult about the whole situation. Worst cookout i have ever been to the location isn't terrible but it is difficult to get to from the main road depending on which way your coming from.

    No dine in. Just a small fast food kitchen in a narrow parking lot with good street signage. Double drive thru was lightning fast though we were the only car on Saturday at 630pm. Janae patiently took our order, confirmed it for accuracy, inquired what sauces were needed, shared our total, and instructed us to drive up for payment. Window was on the passenger side; food was received seconds after payment was given. 1/4 lb cheeseburger tray with nuggets, fries and shake (x2) was $15.50. Neither cheap or sky high for the quantity of fair value food. Not spectacular but my kids like it, especially the custom shakes (aka ticking gut bombs). Parking lot was clean and well lit. Only one point of entry or exit.

    3 nuggets and maybe 11 French fries. This is the only location that seems to do this. I couldn't believe this tray. HORRIBLE
    Tashi B.

    HORRIBLE! I've been to 3 other locations and enjoyed the food and the portion of food. This location was a huge disappointment. I couldn't believe the lack of food that was in the tray. They should be embarrassed to give someone that little amount of French fries. I'm never going back and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. I also ordered another tray with hush puppies and it was hardly any in the tray. The quesadillas might have had 4 strands of chicken equivalent to strands of hair. It should have been called a cheese quesadilla in my opinion. This was definitely a poorly managed location with staff who aren't equipped to prepare food and or provide decent portions to customers. The people at the drive thru were nice but passed the food along with no care. Soda almost spilled, food tilted over smh it was a mess.

    So pulled away from the drive thru came home only to Realize there Are ABSOLUTELY NO FRIES!! Ridiculous

I have been here several times to pick up food, but this was my first time actually going inside to order. The line was long around lunchtime, but it moved quickly. It is fast casual style, so you walk down the line choosing what you want and then pay at the register. I honestly had no idea that was how it worked before, so I was prepared to wait a while. I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient everything was. I was in and out much faster than expected. While putting my order together, the man helping me handed me a sample rib over the counter. I am a very socially awkward person and do not handle unexpected moments very gracefully, so I probably reacted a little awkwardly. That part was on me. The rib was GOOD though. He was very kind about my reaction and even handed me a napkin. The whole staff was friendly, asking how my week was going and checking in to make sure everyone was happy. Even though it was busy, they clearly care about customer service. The food was great. The garlic and green onion sausage had so much flavor, and the bananamisu was the perfect sweet finish. I originally went in hoping to order the BBQ oxtail, but they were sold out within two hours of opening, which honestly says a lot about how good they must be. I had also gone the day before around 7 PM and they had already closed because they were sold out for the day. Just a heads up that they do close early if they run out of food. Overall, great food, friendly staff, and quick service. I will definitely be back and hopefully I will finally catch the oxtail next time.

Looking for something different than the places close to the hotel on Yelp I stumbled across "Hazed" the name made me stop to see what they offered. After I tried to order online, the app said, they did not deliver to my location, but, it was less than 3 miles I called, spoke to Keisha she said my husband and I will come!! Points for their customer service during these unprecedented times. When they got there we chatted a while. I discovered they were supposed to open a location on Virginia Beach before Covid 19 stalled them... but it's only a stall! Now let's talk about the food the brisket was good and the Hazed sauce made it even better. The Mexican corn was a nice change as well. The smoked wings where pippin hot and the rub used made them more flavorful, the Buffalo Haze sauce took them over the top. Even the Mac and cheese was on point.

The meat was tender and held juices. The portion they give you is a nice size, it's packaged well with napkins and untinsels and labeled. I love the amount of barbecue sauce they give you. Once we chilled the banana pudding it was very good as well. Overall I highly recommend supporting Hazed. I look forward to them opening up a spot! Support Black Owned Businesses!!

Our Yelp Elite manager works there and had told me to come by, so I decided that was the night.

I had literally just had pizza the night before at another event, so I wasn't planning on getting more, but she insisted I try it. I'm so glad I did. I'm not usually someone who goes for hot honey or anything spicy, but this pizza was incredible. The crust was perfectly cooked, the dough had great texture, and the balance between the sweetness of the honey and the pepperoni was surprisingly addictive. It was cheesy, flavorful, and honestly hard to stop eating. I had planned to take it straight home, but I had to sneak a bite while it was still hot. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it's such a great neighborhood spot. It made for the perfect stop during a beautiful evening walk. I ended up taking the rest of the pizza home, and it was the perfect dinner while relaxing and winding down for the night. I'll definitely be back, especially now that I know how good their pizza is.

This is not my first time at this store, but overall they have been weaker than others, so I kept pocketing reviews. That term "pocketing" is used by review writers that they will not write due to a negative experience, or want to visit again. This is probably my 4th, or 5th visit since they opened over 6 years ago. The business is tucked away in a parking lot off I64 and North Hampton beside Chick Fil A. So you must snake around the lot. Once you arrive there is plenty of parking. I was immediately taken back by the amount of trash in the lot, especially one particular pile that looked freshly dumped. The footprint of this Mission is smaller than others, for that matter smaller than Virginia Beach around 8 miles away. The size seems correct for the amount of business they receive. I entered the store on a weekday around 12:30 PM. I noticed trash on their patio too! My instincts were to turn around and leave. I immediately alerted the manager of the trash. He was busy preparing a major catering order. He did not thank me, he did not utter a word. He rolled his eyes. I specifically came to Mission with it being National Peach Cobbler Day. I absolutely adore Missions peach cobbler. I ordered a pulled port lunch with green beans that comes with corn bread. I added a peach cobbler. I was not asked if military, which they provide a discount. They ALWAYS ask, first time they have not. So ok, no discount today. I respect the mission of the business to support military and first responders. The staff clearly did not want to be there, no smile no enthusiasm when I exclaimed it's National Peach Cobbler Day and yours rocks! This was the first time I've ever encountered staff at Mission like that. They were not busy, so I expected almost immediate turn around. Even when busy the Mission staff are like Ninjas. It comes out in minutes. So I waited. Order up, no smoke by staff #2. Or is it #3 because the manager sure never smiled. I found a seat. The dining room was pretty empty and clean. Dug into my lunch and the pulled pork is a favorite and was great! The green beans dry, the cornbread not edible and worse of all the peach cobbler not as good, the breading was dry. I asked another staff if they had fresh cornbread. Another staff brought out two center pieces, she was friendly but no apologies. It was still dry and not edible. This staff never did another check unfortunately. If she had I would have reported my overall dissatisfaction with the meal. Upon walking out I could not help myself. I began picking up trash on the patio with a nearby can to easily dispose of. What seemed obvious is this. They had more than enough staff. Their resources were being strained because a major catering order that had all hands on deck. It seemed apparent this was the priority. I did notice the like of trash was picked up, but nearby trash let untouched, that's just lazy! Later in the evening I got very sick, of course it's unknown why with having a dinner meal as a possible culprit too. So 50/50 chance its Mission. I will never return to the Norfolk Mission again and fully believe corporate needs to step in to thoroughly look into items I've outlined. I will continue to support Mission BBQ. Again this hurts to write. 1.5 rounding up because I can bring myself to a 1 star. I feel like I've been ripped off from $18+
