    Wings
    Amy M.

    Honestly came here for the wings lol. It's a Local dive bar. There are TVs for news and games. Age demographic can range from 30s-late 60s. Drinks may be served in the red solo cup bringing back memories to your college days;) The waitress/bartender is nice, but remember to be patient as it could only be her, and one other person manning the bar and tables. The wings were freshly fried, and tossed with buffalo sauce. My preference would be to fry it a bit longer for crispier wings as the sauce can make the skin soggy. In addition to the wings, I ordered the steamed shrimp. The sides were standard. It was crinkle fries and coleslaw. The hubs had the ground steak with sides of mash and corn. The menu is what is expected for a dive bar. It's nothing fancy. A place to come with friends, and have conversation while watching the game. :)

    Nachos without meat

    Cool little dive bar- I went on Saturday of Halloween 2023 and they had karaoke, a full bar, a full kitchen (until about midnight, I think), and Josh himself was DJ-ing very well! My nachos were very good and I told the bartender I didn't drink alcohol right now, so she made me a soda water with lemon & lime (I was just missing the tequila that I normally would also add). I appreciated her willingness to serve my special drink and the lack of judgement (I've heard of bartenders being judgemental or harsh towards sober people). When I go again, I will be ordering the nachos- they were that good! They also have a cool outdoor space with tables & a huge yard. Honestly, it would make a good venue for an outdoor wedding or big birthday party! Don't look past it, if they're open to host something like that.

    There is no other local place like Josh's! It can be busy on Friday and Saturdays because the locals know where to go. The food is always good, and you can't beat the prices or the portions. Friday almost always has a live band. It's definitely worth your time!

    Huge burgers
    Meredith S.

    Stopped in for a burger based on the Yelp reviews, since we were in the area. It's a decent sized place with pool tables, electronic darts and lots of TVs. I imagine it can get pretty busy on a weekend night and it is definitely a locals dive bar kind of place. We were there for a late lunch, so it was pretty empty. The bar tender was working by herself and she cooked our food. She was super friendly. The burgers are HUGE, so it's a good value for the money - they are served with a big pile of crinkle cut fries. I wasn't a fan of the seasoning on the burger (I'm a purist), and they were a little over for my taste. This looks like a good neighborhood hang out if you're looking to get your pitcher of beer on and eat standard bar fare.

    Parts were good: burger price and flavor, portion sizes of burgers, sides and toppings. Needs improvement: wait staff isn't very attentive. We weren't asked how we wanted burger temp (medium/rare/etc) and didn't get tomato on any of our sandwiches/burgers. The chicken sandwich is tenders which was unexpected (though it'd be a breast). We were seated without any menus and had to ask for them. Not my type of place so I wouldn't go back but it is 4 min from my house so I figured we should try it. If you like cheap food at a sport bar and aren't picky about your service, go for it. Seems like a place for locals. I'm new to the area.

    MAYO YUCK!
    Eduardo S.

    Oftentimes I'll order a cheeseburger and fries to go after work on Fridays. After reading the reviews and seeing the cheap prices I decided to order from here. I requested no grilled and buttered bun as well as lettuce, tomato, and onion only, (I HATE mayo on sandwiches!). When I arrived and after parking my car I approached the front door and almost turned around. Can you say eyesore? But I was hungry so I went in and whelp, the interior wasn't much better than that door! The lady who took my order was nice on the phone as well as in person. So I get home and unveil the hope to be masterpiece burger and guess what? MAYO YUCK!!!

    At first I was hesitant of even entering this Bar & Grill because the door was sketchy (no windows completely wood) and it seemed like nobody was walking in and out. But I gathered myself together and entered into one of the most laid back and chill bar I've ever been. From observation alone I could tell that this place is family owned (which is a plus in my books) and they attract all different type of demographic (which is another plus). I loved the vibes in this place. My husband and I ordered a long island iced tea, one of the best I've had in my life. The bar tender really knows how to mix up drinks. I got a pastrami sandwich with mozzarella sticks, my husband got a burger and we ordered steamed shrimp with butter because on Wednesdays they have shrimp for $0.50. Everything tasted great. They were very generous with the pastrami! My bread was perfectly toasted. The parking lot is a good size but I'm sure it could get crowded during weekends, or when a game comes on. They have pool tables and some arcade games as well. I also like that fact that they are opened 365 days a year. I will definitely come back to this bar just because the experience was awesome and the food was served up to match how awesome the experience was.

The drinks are too sweet and taste like straight sugar, bbq is okay (they offer only one sauce), and their sides are just okay. The service, however, was top notch. Our server was Colton (I think?) and he was the life of the party. He made our whole experience phenomenal. We all ordered off the happy hour menu, but I guess there's no buttons for the happy hour pieces, so he just tried to discount our food the best he could. We think it all came out okay, but didn't love not knowing. If you offer happy hour, honor the happy hour pricing with proper buttons. Basically, this place just feels like a restaurant that isn't prepared for customers, which is odd. I don't know how well restaurants in this area do, as this is the third restaurant in that exact location within 10 years. Maybe that's normal, idk. Overall, I would go again if all my friends were going, but I wouldn't recommend it.

But, we patiently waited because we were hungry and I told my friends this restaurant has the "best wings in Hampton"! It took almost 30minutes of us standing there for him to finally get to us so we could order our drinks. Our drink order got messed up, our wing order got entirely messed up, and our bill got messed up. To be fair, I witnessed someone else complaining about their messed up bill too so at least I know he wasn't just targeting us... He just didn't know what the hell he was doing.. The music was dope (maybe a little too loud, but whatever), the DJ was excellent, and once again, THE BEST WINGS IN HAMPTON! Now, with that being said, I had to deduct another star because the service was that bad... Once they fix their service, I honestly think this place would be a gem!

They put their own sauce inside and the batter has some spice to it. I wish the batter was a little thicker but it still got the job done. The fries were good and nicely seasoned. I also got old bay wings (not pictured), which were pretty good.

I visited the establishment at night, so it was dark and I don't have many pictures of the decor but it is nicely decorated. I do think that the restrooms could be better. They really do have a laid back, lounge atmosphere with low lighting and both intimate seating at booths with conveniently placed tables for smoking hookah for eating - and floor seating. The musical selection is mostly old school hip hop earlier in the evening. They told us a DJ would be there that evening, but he didn't arrive before we left a little after 10pm. Hookah is really my friend's thing, but I must say that their hookah is the best that I've had in the area. Period. Their menu items were a bit pricey, and we were there for the hookah - so I ordered the shrimp appetizer that came with a spicy citrus remoulade dipping sauce. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not rubbery or chewy all. They were crispy on the outside and arrived to the table fresh and hot despite the fact that there was a moderate crowd. I will be returning for hookah and to try more of their menu items!

We were given some time to look over the menu and we decided to start with drinks and appetizers. We ordered the Dolce Vita Margarita, a Whiskey Sour and the Tuna Bites, ordered medium. The drinks were okay and the Tuna Bites were actually pretty good, but unfortunately, some were cooked well done while others were slightly medium rare. For our entrees, we chose the Crab Cake Dinner with Girl Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes and the Rasta Pasta. The Rasta Pasta came out first and had great flavor but it was lacking that jerk seasoning taste that you would get from traditional "Rasta Pasta". My sides were then brought out and the Girl Sprouts were great but the Mashed Potatoes definitely needed some salt. I was then served a Crab Cake Sandwich, which I didn't order, so I had to wait another 10 mins for my Crab Cakes, which came out a little burnt. Overall, I wish I can say I had a better experience. We also had to wait quite a while for our server to bring over some waters. She was very nice but just kept forgetting. This spot is very cute and has a nice vibe so it could've just been an off night but I'm not sure if I would return.
