They have a cool beer area where you can serve yourself beer. However, 2 of the beers I wanted were not there - and one keg had kicked when I tried to get something out of it. Kind of annoying. The service was great. The girl at the front took the time to explain how everything worked, and I think one of the chefs/owners came out and greeted us as well. We ordered a couple of chicken sandos that came out on nice brioche buns. The chicken has a great crispy texture and the sauces were flavorful.

George's Restaurant is on Mercury Boulevard in Hampton, right across from Food Lion and Popeye's,…read morenear North King Street--right beside where the old McDonald's used to be. I actually met one of the owners while shopping at Games Farmers Market in Newport News. She spoke so passionately about her restaurant being a soul food spot that I knew I had to try it. I went within the week, and they don't open until after 3 p.m. (I believe they stay open until 1 or 2 in the morning). They even have extra parking across the street, which is nice. I went in by myself, and they told me I could sit wherever I wanted. Since I was one of the first people in there that day, the bartender/waitress greeted me with so much kindness. She went over some of the specials, and I ended up ordering the Rasta Pasta along with a drink--a Pineapple Upside Down (tea or lemonade, I can't quite remember). Whatever it was, it was delicioso. That drink was a 10/10--I'd go back just for that! When the pasta came out, it was served with garlic toast, and I also ordered some macaroni and cheese. The pasta was flavorful, and honestly, I've been thinking about going back for it again. The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but to be fair, I prefer baked, homemade macaroni & cheese--so that's just me, but it was good. While I was there, I chatted with several of the owners and the cook, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I even learned one of the owners is a veteran. The restaurant has a sports bar vibe, with TVs everywhere, music playing, and a DJ--it's lively, clean, and has a great atmosphere. I really love the vibe, the people, and how comfortable they made me feel. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for good food, good people, and a good atmosphere, I'd say give George's a try--you might end up loving it like I did.

We came here right after spending a super fun, exhausting day with friends at Busch Gardens, and…read morehonestly, this place was the perfect wrap-up! The decor gives off major classic American vibes. Plus, right now they are celebrating the U.S. 250th anniversary, so the whole place is decked out in festive, classy decorations. The floral arrangements and styling are beautifully done--so full of character and style. Here are my honest thoughts on the food and experience: The Mains (10/10): We ordered two entrees, and both were incredible. The meat was so tender, juicy, and incredibly easy to chew. The flavors were totally on point. Wings & Fries: The chicken wings were great, and the fries were fried to a perfect golden crisp! My only tiny critique as a foodie is that the fries didn't seem to be fresh-cut from scratch. But they still tasted good! Sauce Heaven: I love that they have a huge variety of sauces right on the table. It gives you so many great options to customize your flavor combinations! The Atmosphere & Service: The waitstaff here are incredibly enthusiastic and energetic! Their warm hospitality completely made up for the fact that the AC was blasting a little too cold inside. One tiny tip for photo takers: The lighting at the tables is a bit on the dimmer side, so it's a little hard to capture the true, mouth-watering color of the grilled food on camera. But trust me, the taste more than makes up for it! It's such a wonderful, comfortable spot to chat, laugh, and catch up with friends. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for great food and a festive vibe!

I got the platter with brisket, burnt ends, beans and collards. Those burnt ends were delicious! The brisket wasn't bad, but definitely needed sauce. Not to worry tho, bc there are several (with descriptions) at the table. My beans were good, but cold and the collards were ok. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was clean with a normal amount of noise. TVs were there, but I don't remember if the volume was up. There were also steps going in the restaurant and going down into the dining area...FYI

I kinda understand why, but then again, if you're gonna have a business like this) I kinda don't. Ribs and jalapeños smoked sausage were not available. I was told that for ribs, you should contact them 24 hours in advance. This was a deal-breaker almost, 'cause we really wanted to do the ribs, and there was no indication that some items might not be available. The food and appetizers came out at the same time, so our table was loaded, and we could not eat fast enough before it got cold. I shared my displeasure with my server, but she just gave me the "deer in the headlights." look. The drinks were weak and expensive. There are a few arcade games and plenty of space. Service is ok, but not great. The food was ok; some items were dry. The fries were hot, and nothing special about the service. Cool place to hang out, watch games, and drink beer, but it's just ok.

I ordered the BBQ chicken tacos and a batch of buffalo chicken wings. The tacos had that…read moreslow-smoked flavor you can't fake -- the chicken was tender with a slightly charred edge, tucked into warm tortillas and topped with just enough sauce to bring everything together without making it messy. Each bite had a nice mix of smoky and tangy. The buffalo wings came out hot with a crisp outer layer that held onto the sauce really well. The heat level was just right -- enough to notice, but still easy to enjoy without reaching for water every second. You could tell they were made fresh, not sitting around. What stood out was the consistency between both items. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together. The setup itself is simple, but the focus is clearly on getting the food right. Alpha Pit Smokers delivers bold, satisfying barbecue with a straightforward approach that works. It's the kind of place you'd return to when you're craving something with real flavor behind it.

The crab cake was fried perfectly and not just fillers, actually crab meat. My drink was yummy. I ordered the Gold Rush- highly recommend. He had whisky. The ambiance is very unique. I would say upscale casual. They have a full bar and lounge area. I think this place would be great for an event or party. It has been a while since I was fully satisfied with every aspect. You have to try it.

America's Best Wings falls as my second favorite wing place because of the wing size, which aren't…read moretiny, and the seasoning. I get a 10 piece wing box which comes with a few celery sticks and ranch but I get it fried hard, all flats (+$1) and all 10 with cajun seasoning (sometimes lemon pepper). On the side I usually ask for their hot sauce which costs $0.50 each. It comes out super crispy and seasoned all around. I've only had the wings at this location and the one in Norfolk and the quality of food is the same at both. Reading other reviews, I had my order DoorDashed so I can't comment on the service but they were accommodating to my requests so that's good.
