Inadvertently found through the yelp app! We actually found a place next door, Tap Room, which we were going to go for lunch. We walked in and they didn't have any tables. So we decided to go to Marker 20 instead which seemed like a good choice. We sat out on their patio area. I can imagine it's a real nice place to go on a summer night. They were setting up for something which seemed to be happening later that night. I had the grilled vegetable wrap and it was good. They have an option for couscous & feta salad which is an awesome alternative to the fries. My friend got the fries with her sandwich and I tried one and they were delicious. Nicely seasoned. They went a little above and beyond because they brought out hot fresh hush puppies from the kitchen saying they made too many for another order and gave them to us on the house. It was my first hush puppy and I loved it! I mean, I have nothing to compare them to so I don't know just how good they are in comparison to others, but I had two, and I don't eat much fried food! read more

Marker 20 - Calamari from Marker 20 - Bars Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Well. I actually really like this place for its ambience and its ability to alleviate my hangover, but it didn't earn 5 stars for two reasons. Reason #1- The potatoes (see photo) are so damn small it would take me three full weeks to eat them individually. They're the most annoying potatoes I've ever eaten. I'd rather eat a bowl of seeded cherries then have to endure the arduous task of finishing this plate of microscopic potatoes with a fork. Eating peas with chop sticks would be easier. They might as well give me a a whole pomegranate, or just a full head of lettuce. I'm surprised they didn't garnish the meal with a seeded watermelon. Speaking of the garnish... Reason #2- The garnish (see photo again) is no kidding one piece of pineapple on top of two pieces of spring mix. Based on the fact it took 45 minutes for the food to arrive, I thought they would have spruced it up a bit. Maybe add some pitted olives. It's like when a woman puts on fake diamond ear rings, it just doesn't add much to what you're flaunting, Janet. read more

Definitely wouldn't recommend but in a few short words the owner is horrible, Customer service is a 0, friendliness 0, profiling 5+ just be really careful and watch your surrounding in this place. As good as it looks staff is just like owner. This is one of those places in a few short words I can say is meant for a certain type of people and I'll leave it there. read more

It's a fair dive. Fair food, fair drinks, fair service, but a pretty unique atmosphere with the highway markers. Also, there are a lot of TVs at the bar, so you can track a lot of different games. For lunch, I had a pretty good cheeseburger, it was good sized, certainly juicy. I do like that it's pretty thick so you can get a good bite of beef. Our server did a decent job at keeping our beverage glasses filled, but with a group of 7, it can be a little tough. The one thing that really bugged me was the bathroom wasn't kept very clean. No soap...not good. read more

Pleasant restaurant with a full bar, a varied menu and in a good location. Went on a Sunday afternoon for an appetizer and some wine. Ordered from the bar and had our food brought to the outside patio. Overall I had a good time and the service was good. read more

What a very cool and lively place. The menu looks good and drinks are good. The night we came this awesome band named Brass wind was "off the hook". The place was jumping and the atmosphere was "lit" I will recommend this place to everyone who passes by Williamsburg or Hampton Va read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and to escape the heat. The bartender was super nice. The drinks were perfect. I was pleasantly surprised.

Server was friendly and nice, food was the worst I've ever had. I saw our server and someone else hit a weed pen and came out coughing into her hands. She then gave us water and put lemon on the rim of the cup with her bare hands. read more

Dirty, and service took forever. We tried to eat outside but we were surrounded by these kids running around and an influx of flies. After not being able get drinks due to them not accepting my friends dmv documents and her photo id we ended up leaving the establishment and going to pour girls next door. I'm all down for the rules but come on how can you have proper id and paperwork from the state and it not be accepted. read more

Great drinks, ice cold beer, great service. Place was packed but didnt have to wait..

Food is over priced. Service isn't great. My pasta was missing one of the main ingredients- andouille sausage on the ANDOUILLE sausage and chicken pasta dish. Instead of offering to redo the meal or comp the for the mistake, they brought out a bowl of chopped sausages (more than half way into eating the meal). That tells you how often she checked to see if anything was needed. I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone - at least not for food. While the staff tried to explain the "cook was new" & laugh it up- that's not my problem- and I don't care especially if I'm paying for a meal. If you're not willing to fix/comp the mistakes, do better at providing service. This spot is too casual and is over rated. read more

While family was in town for a short period of time, we decided to meet at a restaurant before they headed back towards DC. It was 9pm and NFL playoffs just started so it was more of a bar atmosphere. I ordered a crab dip appetizer for the table and their "famous crab philly wrap." I know how to cook and I have developed my own shrimp and crab dip recipe, so eating theirs was bland and lacked crab meat. My sister described it as a crab dip purée lol because that's exactly what the texture was like *shrug emoji* As for my crab philly wrap, it was just okay. I thought for sure because it was their specialty and no one has ever done it before, the crab philly would be bangin but nope. It too could use more seasoning. Thankfully that didn't lack crab meat lol Service overall was decent. Our drinks were never empty. Probably wouldn't drive from Portsmouth to Hampton for their food again but if I was already on that side looking to catch the game somewhere, Marker 20 would be a candidate. read more

Marker 20 - Lack of seasoning "Crab Philly Wrap" - Bars Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Best place to watch all sports! Their specials are phenomenal, but all of their food is solid as well!

Marker 20 is an institution in Hampton, and for good reason; the food and the atmosphere are always amazing and there is something on the menu for everyone! read more

The food was terrible. The Philly cheese steak and the chicken Philly cheese was dry and the fries were over salted. The shrimp was over cooked and the Alfredo did have enough sauce. The service is also terrible. When we got out menus the server wasn't listening. The server ignored us and gave the wrong food and drinks to the wrong person. After we got our check she took forever you come back and take the card and give it back. The music was loud ear piercing even and if was really cold. I don't recommend this if your in a hurry. read more

I went in on a Sunday around 11 with a large group of friends. There were 2 large groups of people in the area. We had to wait at least an hour to get our food. After waiting for a whole hour, I finally got my omelet. When I broke a bite out, I found a long hair stuck in it! The waitress asked me if I wanted a new one, so I got a new one. It had so many chunks of red onions. It seemed like they rushed so much chopping it. I had to be out of there by 1 so I scarfed the food down. At least they didn't charge me for the food. They don't take reservations on Sundays but they should start so that they can prep better for large groups of people rushing in, all at the same time. read more

1. Kimi was our server. She was awesome, knew the menu, knew the area and was very attentive and full of friendly conversation. 2. The fish and chips (flounder) were very good. The fish had some bones in it, no biggie since it was very fresh, and the chips were AWESOME! They were hand-cut, seasoned well, and crispy! 3. The beer selection was small but was a good combination of local brews, standard go-to brews, and some interesting brews from across the country. 4. This little part of Hampton is quiet and has some charm. The Air and Space museum is awesome too! 5. I need to get out of Virginia Beach more often. read more

First time trying this restaurant in Downtown Hampton. There's a definite local/dive feel to it. It's a deep restaurant with high tops in the front, booths in middle, and then a back room with additional seating. Lots of beers on tap and with this kind of layout, I bet it's a good spot for some nightlife. I ordered a grilled tuna sandwich served with cole slaw and fries. My sandwich was decent, a little on the charred side for a sandwich I requested to be cooked rare. Both the slaw and fries were good. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Not too shabby. I'd consider a visit at night, especially on weekends. read more

Marked 20 is a good time. Great place to go for a chill atmosphere, inside in out. The food and drinks are affordable and delicious. Great place for friends and you have to try to fried tuna bites. I'm obsessed. read more

I'm not sure where to begin with my disappointment in this restaurant. We were told to seat ourselves then waited approximately 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. Waited quite a long time for drinks. The only upside to our visit was the crab dip appetizer that was delicious. My girlfriend got the Caesar wrap and said it was mediocre. I ordered their burger to be cooked medium and when I took a bite into it, it was cooked well done and dry as a bone. The one waitress was by herself and was obviously struggling. Unfortunately, our glasses got empty multiple times. Overall, very dissatisfied and will most likely not return. read more

My hubby thought this would be a good choice as this place seem to have a crowd when we have passed by. So we tried it this past week. There is a nice outside dining area & inside bar with seating. We were seated in the bar which was nice as we were able to watch sports on the TVs. It took quite a while for our server to come over which during busy times is expected but there was not a large crowd when we arrived. I asked about the wine selection however she could not offer me any wine labels when asked, just that they carried white, red or merlot. She did review the menu items with us when asked. I told her this was our first time here and what their signature items.... she pretty much just pointed to all the items saying "it's all good". I inquired what ingredients were used in their crab cakes. She said it was fresh crab with mostly claw meat so I ordered the crab cakes that could be prepared either "blackened" or "grilled". The dinner came with 2 cakes so I asked for 1 grilled and 1 blackened. The waitress said I could ONLY get them one way as she had 20 other orders ahead of mine. I really wanted to get up and leave at that point but thought it may be worth a try and toughed it out however, the overall experience was very disappointing. The crab cakes and hush puppies arrived scorched with my 2 sides of choice. (Coleslaw and Sweet Potato fries) I can't believe she even brought them out like that but then thought maybe that's how they make them here. I took 2 bites of the crab cakes.....and that was it. Besides being charred they had absolutely ZERO crab flavor/taste! In fact they tasted like mealy salmon patties. I posted a pic of the crab cakes dinner. I gave them the one star because I loved the sweet potatoes fries.....they were amazingly yummo and the coleslaw was ok. Not sure about the rest of the menu but after the overall poor customer service we most likely will not return. read more

I'm updating my review based on the fact that I've been up most of the night sick as dog. I felt fine until I went to bed, had nothing but bottled water and club soda to drink on Wed. .. I know these symptoms and the root cause, food poisoning. Thanks Marker 20.. Diners beware..... _____________________________________________________________________ After reading the Yelp reviews I was pretty psyched about dining at this local/townie establishment. Well MEH I have better on previous trips to the Hampton Newport News area. Yea it appears to be a great place for a few, heavy pour good thing, drinks and OK food. Emphasis on OK. I ordered the clam chowder as an App and the grilled crab cakes as my main. Here comes my salad with my clam chowder immediately behind it. "Could you return the clam chowder until I've finished my salad?" My server's response "I can put it under the heat lamp and that's all I can do." Well after enjoying my salad I got to enjoy my lukewarm chowder. My entrée was filling with a healthy portion of crab, a baked potato, and a couple of hush puppies. My crab cake was dry and overcooked. Everything else was OK. In all fairness my server did return a number of times to check on me and to refill my drink. There are much better seafood restaurants in this area and based on my experience tonight I would not return to Marker 20. read more

Went here on Sunday with a group of friends. We weren't attended to right away, but they looked very busy. Friends said their food was alright. Unfortunately I got food poisoning from their shrimp Alfredo pasta read more

I found this place searching for seafood when I was at the beach. I swear YELP never lets me down the crab dip came with little warm pita bread and the shrimp po boy wrap had a amazing cajun sauce.

Lost my credit card. Tried billing me for someone else's order. An associate/ friend was with me experienced a very bad order As well. I will never step foot in the restaurant again. Good luck in the future. read more

I would not recommend this establishment due to the disgusting behaviour and theft of a credit card by management. We arrived at the establishment at 1050 am. We waited approximately 20 minutes for the waitress (approx 5'5 curly brown hair) to take our order. At about noon, I approached the bartender to pay for our drink because our waitress and food were nowhere to be found. The bartender seemed upset that I asked to cancel the food and pay for our drinks. She launched into a tirade accusing me of having an attitude because I asked her to cash us out. What makes things worse is that I had to report my card stolen because the bartender/manager refused to return my card, stating that "I already gave it to you," which was untrue. Not only did I not received my card back, not did I receive the receipt to sign for the transaction. read more

Its biggest asset is the outside seating. The food was kind of "meh" for the prices, the service was decent. My friends and I came here mostly because it was such a pleasant evening and they had live music on the patio. They have a dozen or so tables outside and from what we could tell you seat yourself. During dinner they offered both sandwich items ($9-$12 range) and dinner entrees ($12-$25). As one would expect, they seemed to specialize in seafood. I ended up going with the tuna steak sandwich; I had actually ordered this exact same dish the night before at a restaurant in Williamsburg and it was so fantastic that I was craving it again. Unfortunately it was nowhere near as good here. I ordered it blackened. It was really quite small and for the price tag I had really hoped for more. The flavor was there though, and it was cooked medium rare as I had ordered. I went with a baked potato instead of fries for the side; it was kind of small too, but it was nice that I wasn't upcharged for it. It was also served with a small tub of cole slaw, which two bites. My friends split an app of french fries plus the philly cheese steak. They raved about the cheese steak being really fresh and packed with veggies and cheese. The fries didn't look like anything special. Decent beer selection. I ordered a Miller Lite and it was served in a plastic dixie cup. While our server was pretty attentive considering how busy she was, she didn't really make an effort to be friendly. I will say that one of the girls in our party was a little picky and I thought she handled that situation pretty well. read more

Went for a night out with some friends, we're all 22-24. Definitely won't be my go to place to go out and grab a drink. Definitely for an older crowd. Got lots of super weird looks and stares from regulars. Kinda uncomfortable :/ Otherwise food and drinks were fine but the vibe wasn't great read more

My husband has been telling me about this place for a while and we finally went. Parking is behind the building. When we walked in we were greeted very cheerfully by someone at the bar. I'm not sure if he was the owner but he seemed like it. It was a nice day so we chose to sit outside. Our server came over promptly and took our drink orders. They don't have an extensive drink menu. There are 2 drinks on the menu. But they are both delicious. One is a citrus sour and the other is a coconut mango. I love a strong drink that doesn't taste strong. We got an order of crab dip. It was served with buttered toast cut into strips. It was DELICIOUS. The toast was the perfect thing to dip with and the crab dip was full of crab meat and had a nice creamy finish. For my entree I ordered the crab Philly and fries. My husband orders the coconut shrimp with a side of hush puppies. The food came out quickly and our server made sure we had all we need. She was a little flighty, but attentive. My crab philly was pretty good. It was a good size and it seemed to have a mix of lump and claw meat in it. It had sautéed peppers and onions and cheese. I wish I'd added mayo but it was good regardless. My husbands shrimp were HUGE and flavorful. We will definitely be back. They have live music Saturday nights so we will def be back for that. read more

Terrible food! I ordered a Paella and that was awful! They could call that dish anything but NOT a paella. My husband had Fish & Chips and was old, not tasteful and sough...I just hope he doesn't get sick after that. The atmosphere is great though so go to this place to drink not to eat! read more

The server was good, attentive and personable. The food NOT so good, the only reason it got 2 stars is cause of the service, the food was meh at best. read more

A fantastic bar/restaurant that has a great atmosphere right in downtown Hampton. The food is great and they give a huge portion, increasing the value. The service is friendly and active. The bar is well stocked with great bartenders. Even though it has a bar, it is separated enough so that the restaurant is child friendly, if necessary. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but that is why you never judge a place from the outside. A great place to eat! read more

Place is dirty and we waited 20 mins before anyone came to our table. Than as I was looking at the menu the server grabbed it and gave it to someone who had just walked in. I would never come back read more

I was so surprised to come in here and see 1 star reviews! Let me start by saying we have only ever ordered to-go from here. So I can't speak to the service on waiting tables. However everyone we have dealt with on phones/picking up has been great. Everything we've ordered from here has been absolutely delicious. From steamed shrimp, to tuna steak salad, alfredo & kids food. Everyone ate it up and loved it each time. Even my seafood snob in laws loved it! read more

Comfortable, come as you are atmosphere & definitely loved by locals. A few of the waitresses could use a spin at charm school but as long as they're on their toes I don't mind. Best spot on the street for block party season. Little secret I've learned: order the daily special. The cooks take turns coming up with these dishes so it's always something they put their heart into! I haven't been disappointed yet. I recommend the nachos & the sweet potato fries. read more
