Our first time to Yorktown and had no idea what to expect. The riverwalk area was short but nice…read more What made it great was this restaurant. The restaurant was busy. We only waited about 15 minutes. But the view of the water made the wait enjoyable. The atmosphere was appropriate for a casual place. Lots of dark wood, a bar, booths and, I assume, faux copper ceiling tiles. We were seated in a high table near the window with a view of York River. Our server was great! She helped me make a choice of beer. The double IPA was citrusy which I like. I was torn between the fish tacos, a loaded baked potato with "famous" chili, or grilled crab sandwich. She said beyond a doubt get the tacos. She was so right! I love fish tacos. The Booming Tacos, an off-the-menu item, was over the top. I mean there was so much rockfish it was over the top of the grilled flour tortilla. The moist blackened fish pieces laid atop spring mix and drizzled with a creamy spicy boom boom sauce. My husband had the Rachel, a turkey sandwich on rye with Russian dressing and coleslaw, it came with french fries that seemed to have a bit of a coating that made them very crunchy. Everything was great. If ever back in the area, this will be the place to eat.

Had to add salt and pepper to taste anything and then just didn't even eat 1/2. Paid an extra $1 for cheese and onions on top. I'm talking bye 7 little cheese pieces and the same with tiny onions. Their clam chowder was salty. And other than the fried seafood, it wasn't worth the cost. Need to remind ourselves this is tourist trap with bumped up prices for quickly made (and not properly seasoned) food. Major disappointment and a waste of $30 for a sandwich, fries and a cup of chili

I enjoyed the Bossman burger with chips and sweet tea. It was very juicy and had a real nice amount of bacon (to the owner don't ever skimp on that - it really made your burger stand out. I could have enjoys a little more chips with my meal. Maybe the cook had smaller hands. But it was still a decent plate. As the the bride - she had the club sandwich and was extremely happy with the size and taste of it. I really don't think the pictures do it justice. She also had a decent amount of their fries, which I stole a few and were very good. It's a nice place that apparently has local talent/musicians come in and play. The bar area, even though i didn't try looked decent. As for service. Sorry can't remember the servers name. However, she served us very well and in fact we watched her serve all the tables in there this afternoon. I think she did a great job. So when I do come back in this area i would absolutely consider visiting again. I hope you give it a try.

We ordered almost immediately. 50 minutes later I got my sandwich, and it was luke warm at best. My wife ordered a salad that arrived about 10 minutes later. I've been there countless times in the past and never had an issue. This time may cause me to re-think going back. Saw another table wait even longer for their food. I know it's a dive bar but they always had good food int he past. Really a disappointment this time.

We decided to hop over here to catch specials for St. Patrick's Day and they also had karaoke going on. Would this first visir hold potential for yours truly? Our group was able to snag a table right across the bar with no issues. For the whole night, foot traffic wasn't heavy. For the pub itself, it is a bit dated, but nothing where major updates are needed. They also have a separate section for billards and you can also smoke while enjoying company. All of us did order food while some sang karaoke (I didn't participate). For myself, I selected a fried petals basket which came with their house sauce. It was good enough for me since I ate earlier. The food was very good. Each fried onion was very crispy and their house sauce was a great compliment. I also decided to have one of their house drinks. The fruit bomb which consisted of Three Olives Loopy vodka and Red Bull. The drink was very good. Not too strong and just right. And for you diabetics out there like myself, the vodka is sugar free. The Red Bull does add sweetness to the drink, but your carb intake will be just fine. For a first timer, it was a good experience. A nice staff with some good food and spirts on hand. I'll definitely make a return here soon :)

It reminds me of an old diner with a cozy feel and cushioned booths. I had the Patty melt burger and it was so good. It had Swiss cheese, sauerkraut , caramelized onions and garlic aioli. I had it on a gluten free bun and it came out marked gluten free so you know it wasn't mixed up in the kitchen. I also ordered fries with Parmesan and garlic. They cook their normal fries in beef tallow but Gluten free fries are done in canola oil for a dedicated fryer. I couldn't resist trying the crispy fried cheerwine Brussel sprouts. It was definitely a new spin on Brussel sprouts. I can't wait to return to try the wings and the spam fries along with the pastrami burger. Everything was amazing, I just wish I had a bigger stomach.
