Wonderful food and service was fantiastic.......travel all the time and handled the large group I was wiht perfectly.

I recently visited Hacker located on Laskin Rd for the first time on a Saturday for their March Madness Old Party with DJ Kool. While I enjoyed the music and the energy from the Streetz 87.7 host once the event began, several aspects of the evening were disappointing. The event was advertised with a 6:00 p.m. door time and the advance ticket price was $30 on Eventbrite. However, when I arrived around 6:30/6:40 p.m., the staff seemed uninformed, and the venue was still being set up. One of the radio host told me at 7:00 p.m. that I was "early," despite the advertised start time on both the flyer and Eventbrite. The event did not actually begin until 8:30 p.m. Furthermore, although the event was marketed as "30 & Up," the venue remained open to the general public, including children and younger guests. It was frustrating to pay for an event that started over two hours late and was not exclusive as advertised. Additionally, the bar service was slow; it took 15 minutes for a waitress to greet my friend and me. One of my biggest pet peeves is the lack of clear pricing listed on a menu. While their food menu listed prices, the drink pricing was a mystery. The waitress also charged us automatic gratuity, stating they do that for large parties and events. When I questioned this, the server claimed the policy was on their website; however, I have been unable to find any mention of automatic gratuity for attending paid events online. Given these inconsistencies and the lack of organization, I do not feel this should have been a paid event. This experience has left me hesitant to return to Hacker in the future. read more

So they advertised they were playing the Kentucky Derby races. So six of us went to watch, and...literally during the biggest race...had a live band start playing R&B music. Don't get me wrong - they were really nice and talented, but absolutely didn't match the vibe of what bills itself as a sports bar. Also the service was lacking. Our order was wrong, things missing, etc. Wont' be rushing back. The 3 is for the kindness of the staff and the potential - I'd give it a 1 based on the experience we had. read more

Great place for a big group. We took over the entire restaurant. It was awesome. Super nice staff. Set us up and explained the golf bay's to us and we had a blast. She set up the virtual beach golf for us. There are a lot of virtual screens to choose from. It is such a neat way to play golf. And my best friend and I did NOT take it too serious. We had so much fun and I have never laughed so hard. The bay's have tables and seating. Very relaxed atmosphere. We brought our drinks in and the staff are wonderful to check and make sure you have plenty to drink and see to your needs. We were checked on a few times while we were playing golf. The staff are fantastic. Very attentive. Food was wonderful. Hot and delicious. The fried wonton's are my favorite. Also they had a huge variety of fresh fruit. Half of my plate was fresh fruit. Oh. don't forget about the steak bites. they melt in your mouth. That was yummy, good. All of the food looked wonderful. I can only report on the food that I chose. Variety of beer is good. I got a few different ones and I believe they change beers on tap. So they will have some seasonal. I love that. I don't like drinking the same thing all the time. They have a good drink menu so check it out. They have a game room. But we were more interested in the golf. I recommend checking it out read more

We went right around open just to try the Wednesday Burger Day deal. Menu burgers are half off on Wednesdays! The service was great and food came out timely. The surf & turf burger was like nothing I've ever had before, I just wish I had a bit more surf. The fries it came with were a 10/10. I'd definitely come back to check out some of the golf bays, seems like a great place to come relax after a long day. read more

Came in the morning, for breakfast! Food was fantastic! Drinks on Happy Hour-$3 Bloody Mary's and Mimosa's. They have a great Sunday early breakfast option! Staff were amazing-both Lexi and Ryan were very helpful! They have private rooms for virtual gold, but if that's not your thing, they have TV's all over the place. Monday thru Friday Happy hour specials are Great-from 3-6pm! Hidden gem, and definitely under the radar! Why it's not busier I don't know but it's SO GOOD!!! read more

I came for Tony Terry, tickets were sponsored by Hackers bar and grill! We paid for the event on Eventbrite with contact to Hackers. When we arrived we were told it was cancelled and no one there acted like it was a big deal. Of course no refunds so therefore I can't and will not support this business. I'm extremely disappointed with how this concert was handled. The event was canceled without any notice, leaving fans completely in the dark. Many of us made plans, traveled, and spent money, only to show up or find out last-minute that it wasn't happening. That's not just inconvenient--it's incredibly disrespectful to the people who supported the event in the first place. What's even more frustrating is the lack of communication afterward. There was no clear explanation, apology, or guidance on refunds. It feels like the organizers didn't consider the impact this would have on attendees at all. Overall, this was a very unprofessional experience, and I would think twice before supporting any future events from this group. read more

Great place for gathering of friends to celebrate birthdays or any event in a large, comfortable private setting. The virtual golf or putting was a lot of fun for everyone in a relaxed atmosphere. You can pick any game to play on the virtual screen and pick any genre of music to play. We picked the 80's of course! They had a buffet of garlic Parmesan and buffalo wings, pizza, shrimp cocktail, some beef casserole (?), fresh guacamole and salsa, and a charcuterie board of cheeses, prosciutto, olives, peppers, and gherkins! We enjoyed the music, games, and food among our friends. Highly recommend this place. The only thing that would have improved our experience was if we had the host there to show us how to change out the virtual games. The waitress Key was great! She was very friendly and accommodating! read more

Went with a group of friends for burger night and we had a fantastic time. The food was amazing and our server was very friendly and helpful. We started with the brisket nachos and they were huge and tasty, with lots of cheese and nice brisket chunks. I had the Surf N Turf Burger and it was one of the most decadent and delicious burgers that I've had. The turf was a massive juicy burger patty that was cooked to the perfect temperature. The surf was a broiled crab cake that went big on crab. What really put it over the top was the gooey cheese and bechamel that covered the burger patty and crab cab. Burger night is such a great deal since all of the burgers on their menu are half priced. Highly recommend this place! read more

The cigar lounge is in the back of the building! It is my go to cigar location in the Tidewater area! Great food and great seating will keep this place on lock for me! Bring your cigars and a huge appetite to this spot asap! Don't meet me there, beat me there!! #BOTL #SOTL #PSSITA read more

The simulators are very off, nothing is realistic. Pricing is super expensive, $60/hour (after 5pm). For lot cheaper, you can go to TopGolf. Once sat, we waited 15 minutes into our game play time before we even saw our server then another 10-15 minutes to get the drinks. The food, depending on what you got, was good but they brought out some food then roughly 15 minutes later the rest of the food came out. The pizza was very over priced, $21 for the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and $19 for a Pepperoni. The atmosphere was nice if you're big into golf. The one nice thing it did better than TopGolf was the privacy, each bay is its own private space. Will not be going back. read more

Had an absolute blast as a going away party with some of my friends. Our server, Jade was absolutely spectacular I cannot recommend enough!

We absolutely love this place and everyone that works there.We are there every week for specials.

Hackers Bar & Grill is a fun new spot for all ages. There are golf simulators and amazing food - what more could you want? The golf simulators are a blast, regardless of your golf experience! You can play famous courses from around the world, or even a game of beer pong lol. We had a lot of fun playing a "fantasy" course. I definitely recommend making a reservation for the golf rooms to secure your spot as I'm sure they get super busy! Now, the FOOD. I'm still thinking about these nachos we got. They were SO GOOD. It was all amazing though. The pear and Brie dip, the pickle fries, the bacon wrapped figs *drool* the food here is divine and so worth a trip in even if you don't want to play golf. It's worthy in its own right! I hear they have breakfast lunch and dinner and the bar is stocked. We will certainly be back!! read more

@hackersathilltop exceed my expectations. Their golf bays are equipped with comfortable couches and big tables for all your drinks and food and full sets of clubs. They have connecting doors if you have an overflow of people and need two bays. You can choose to play full courses or games. We played the Pebble Beach course, darts, cornhole, and a stadium game. If you're going to play a full course make sure you're playing with people who know how to play golf otherwise it takes a while. The waitress also turned on the music and TV to our requested stations. For food, the charcuterie board was well made. The buffalo wings were extra spicy. The only thing I might not order again was the pizza. It was just okay. Outside of the bays, they have lots of seating and TVs where you can just hang out and watch a game. The bar top is a fun beach design and the bartenders are happy to find you the perfect drink. If you want to go big, they have a VIP suit with beer taps that seats up to 25 people. In addition, they have a cigar room that you can sign up to be a monthly member. If you don't want to commit, you can still enjoy it by spending at least $50 in food and drinks while you're in there. We met the manager and owner who were both very welcoming. I recommend having your next get together here read more

I came here for breakfast once, this last time for dinner on my birthday. I ordered their tomato soup which happens to be a Bisque. Their soup knocked my socks off! I also ordered a side of Key Lime pie. For me and my taste buds, it was lack luster. Although I do enjoy deserts. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet deserts. They put whip cream onto the pie, I took one bite, I became nauseous. Scrapping the whipped cream off and taking another bite, the pie itself was too sweet. Personally I favor the tartness of key limes. I tried one of their burgers another time. With my small appetite, and indigestion issues, I ended up taking it home for the next day. For me was a mega huge mistake. It was much more spicer than when I first ordered it. Mini me had a blast with the left overs, so I didn't mind too much. It's obvious to me that I will definitely going back for their soup! read more

We ate lunch there a few weeks ago, the food was fine but service awful. Only two other booths with people and the wait to get drinks was long. Then food was dropped off and wait was crazy to check our check. We tried again for breakfast today. There was one other table with 4 people besides us. We placed our order, food came out then the waitress just disappeared. After we finished eating and sat there for a while I had to ask the hostess to find a waitress so we could get our check. I guess she was mad because she inserted our card in the handheld scanner and then just left. The screen went blank, so I had to get up and track her down so we could sign on the reader.. the food was good but service is just nonexistent. The restaurant seems like a fun concept and the food is on point, but the service team desperately needs training. Especially when there are so few customers. We won't be back. read more

5 stars all the way! I don't even like golf. Don't let that stop you. It's a great environment and a lot of fun with awesome food and friendly people. We did not play golf....we just wanted to check it out. But already planning a day to play golf in one of the private rooms. It looked like so much fun....and I don't even play golf. :) They have a bar area which is where we sat and they have private booths and tables....something for everyone. Jeff and Louie were bartending and they were so fun and friendly and made recommendations. My husband and I were both impressed. He ordered something with fried oysters and I got something with seafood. This is not your ordinary bar food. It was delicious! And the presentation was great too. Something you would see in a nicer end restaurant. It was also very clean and plenty of parking. They do have a HH and you know I will be back for that. I can't wait to play golf in one of rooms - have I mentioned that I don't even like golf! :) Definitely check them out!!!!! I am adding to this review...this is my 3rd time here and a major con is the smell of smoke. I hope they fix that....the cigar smoke has taken over and there is even a hazy cloud. No Bueno. read more

Great place for food and fun. The staff is amazing and friendly too. The golf simulator has a great selection of games to play. All for for a reasonable price. read more

The location is fantastic and there they offer great variety of food. The atmosphere is great, and the place is clean. We have visited 2 separate times and ordered the burgers. The bread was soaked with so much grease that we could not even hold the burger so after removing the bottom part of the bun we thoroughly enjoyed the burger by eating it with a fork and knife. Saved on carbs so it was all good. read more

A really nice job at revitalizing a prime location down at the beach. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Some friends and I went to meet for lunch and drinks (no golf). However, the golf rooms were busy and seemed really fun for those playing. Probably worthy of a visit and you can bring your own clubs. The food we had was a nacho plate and charcuterie. The nacho plate was average unfortunately. The charcuterie board is small, but had a few nice ingredients. Drinks are cold, bar area is open and spacious but I'm not a big fan of the tunnel tables (a series of tight spaces with a table and benches. If you feel claustrophobic at all, consider a different location of a table. There is a great outside area as well. Unfortunately, the cigar room smell leached out into the main restaurant and I'm not sure if that's normal or something unusual occurred. read more

Bartender was great there was a group of four of us. We all got breakfast and drinks. Service was top notch. She greeted us with a smile and asked for drink orders and gave us menus and asked if we have ever been there before and told us about the specials for the day. Drinks came out fast and our food came out hot and tasted great. Very clean place and great staff. The owner is very nice as well and asked how everything was going. If you have never been here before you need to stop in and give them a try. We will most definitely be back. The food is very well seasoned. No need for salt and pepper. read more

I have been to Hackers several times. Food appears to doing a huge nose dive. I actually started to call there brisket nachos "Hunting Nachos" as you spend most of your time hunting for the brisket. Also I am tired of smelling like an ashtray by the time I leave. I have to throw my clothes in the wash as soon as I come home or my closet will smell like an ashtray. Disappointing. If they could find a way to get the deep aroma of cigar out of the place it would be more enjoyable. Until that happens I believe that me or my friends will not return. I guess it is a good thing that we can now go to Just Birdies and enjoy indoor golf without the stink. read more

YUM!!! This food is great!!!! Yes it's a virtual golf place, but the owner purposely wanted the food to bring non golfers in. Ex: Tai Lettuce Wraps, Crabcakes w/ Orzo & Marinated Asparag, Desserts from local bakery, homemade She Crab Soup. The golf bays are enclosed with cushy seating and a table. Server Sophie was a delight!!! Not affiliated with the places in Ches and Penn. Check it out! https://hackersathilltop.com read more

Food was outstanding. One of the best smash burgers in town and the brisket sandwich was excellent. It is a little pricey for games but well worth it! We will be going back. They also have weekly food specials. I recommend checking this place out, even if it's just for food. read more

Upscale bar, dining and golf bay. It is a very nice comfortable setting to eat and lounge. The service upon getting to the bay was slow. But they apologized. It was understood that the 1 person greeting and taking the group to the bay also set up and explained the simulator. The waitress was great. She was engaging and very lively. We were served rolls. They were soft and fluffy. We ordered pizza and burgers. The food was good. Nothing spectacular. Next time I will try something else. I do hope they will have speciality original house drinks to match the ambience. read more

We made reservations(easily) for a 6:30 Anniversary dinner specifically on a Thursday night to take advantage of the "SPECIAL", 2 16oz king cut prime ribs W/roasted asparagus and potatoes au gratin casserole, a bottle of wine(our choices were shiraz or rose), and a dessert(our choices were KEY LIME PIE, CARROT CAKE, LEMON BLUEBERRY TIRAMISU, BROWNIE SUNDAY, or RED VELVET CAKE)........all for $70! The service from Janine and Jeff was fast, friendly and knowledgeable and the food!*+ perfection from "Goose" in the kitchen. After dinner, my wife and I spoke with GM Korey Johnson and got a tour of the facilities where we were further impressed with the cigar lounge and the VIP room. Needless to say, we'll be back again and again and I suggest the same for all of YOU that rely on the customer reviews as we do!! TY read more

I'll try and keep this short. A group of us came in to use a Groupon this past Saturday 1/25/2025. We were unaware that reservations were needed, which wasn't a problem at all. Kindly asked to reserve a bay for next day and was told no. Wasn't given an explanation of why the Groupon couldn't be used on a Sunday even though it was the same price. Honestly, this was annoying, but wasn't the reason for the 1-star review. I only have one star because I couldn't give zero. This was our first time visiting this place and was really excited to come. But upon entering, we were greeted by a girl who was probably 1/3 dead, 1/3 asleep, and 1/3 just barely making it. And it really wasn't any type of greeting at all. Literally, the whole interaction with her was extremely unpleasant and very uninviting. Like I mentioned earlier, this was our first time visiting. I've always been a firm believer that the employees are a direct representation of the business. Maybe if you all would adopt the Chick-fil-A model of hiring those who actually WANT to be there, as well as ensuring a level of quality service that ownership would be proud of. I'm sure Hackers is probably a wonderful place to enjoy, and i hope others will not have the same experience. However, we were thoroughly unimpressed and really just considering getting the Groupon refunded. If the young lady that was working the front desk around 2pm yesterday is any indication of what the service will be like during a typical visit, then I would caution the next patron to possibly looking into other entertainment options, where you're greeted by a smile and a sense of gratefulness that you've decided to spend your hard earned money there. I don't know... maybe I'm just old schooled. read more

Unbelievable. It is a sports bar and for the entire 2 hours we were there, nobody could set the channel in our booth to. The game we came to watch. I called the restaurant FROM OUR BOOTH because nobody would help us. Food was fine. Everything was a hot mess. read more

Food and service is good. If you are a true golfer don't bother playing here. It' s truly 75-100 yards shorter than a normal shot and you can't putt. I have played at other similar places like this and it was always very true to your shot. It's really for non golfers who just want to eat and drink. read more

The food was amazing! The service was on point! I love how we were greeted when my husband and I walked in! I ate here a couple of months ago and I just had to come back! The owner/manager was so friendly. The ambiance was very nice with all of the different rooms to play golf. I'll be trying their breakfast when I return. Thank you all so much! I totally forgot to take a picture of my food!....trust me it was delicious read more

Decent food and service! A good place for golfers to play ! They have a large selection food I was not satisfied with what I ordered and they were really understanding and took it off the bill no questions asked ! read more

Not even worthy of one star, because beyond the service I am not able to review anything else. The ambiance was neat, and sporty, but we were directed to hostess stand by a server who ignored us upon entry- watching TV. The hostess seated us, and then we were left ignored for 25 minutes. The server came over and said there was a mix up, took our drink orders, and after 5 minutes of no drinks, and no server... we left. The server who took our drink order and never returned was the same one who ignored us upon entry. So we left that train wreck. read more

Hackers at Hilltop Hey y'all, just wanted to give five stars to the new golf and sports bar at Hilltop shopping area. It's only been open a month but they have it all together in every way. I'm a reformed golfer but I just might play one of America's top 100 courses available in their simulator rooms. I'm in a cigar club and we meet every Thursday afternoon. We have been going to Keegan's, but one of our members suggested Hackers. We went today. First class all the way. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The cigar lounge is spectacular. The food was delicious and we just had a really great time. If you're a golfer or cigar enthusiast this is the place for you. For the non golfers, there's seating for meals and in the bar where you can watch the duffers and enjoy a snack, meal and drink. Again, five stars!! read more

Smells heavily of cigar smoke.... But I get it it's a cigar bar. It's just not what I want to smell while I'm eating. Had the charcuterie plate. Not terribly impressed. The bread element was literally hard as a rock. There was a little bit of prosciutto ham which was nice and a little pepperoni. throw in a few grapes and a smidgen of cheese and you got their plate. Service was okay but it was virtually dead. read more
