This restaurant is a local institution. It's casual, relaxed and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating. A friendly staff. It's quick, it's good. They do a nice job of advertising seasonal specials. The prices are good. They have seafood. Their ice cream is wonderful, go just for the ice cream and you'll be happy. read more

It's a nice little family owned and run restaurant in the northern neck area. I have been here a couple of times to have lunch and dinner. They have wide variety of sandwiches and subs. My go to has been buffalo chicken sandwich with curly fries. Curly fries are very good. Nice and crispy. You have to order at the front and they assign a number to you. They will call your number once the order is ready. Price is nominal. Very affordable. Unfortunately, they don't have free water. You have to buy bottled water. Decent ambiance as well. read more

See all

The food at Newsomes is just really great comfort food prepared with the same level of care our parents and grandparents did. You can't go wrong here. We had dinner this past week and it was outstanding read more

Simple and quick food. Don't expect fancy here but it's always fresh and hot. Order at the counter and self bus. It's almost always busy

Amazing cheeseburger and curly fries. Always consistent and fast. Also got to chat with Mr. Newsome which was an extra treat!

Love this place! Great food and friendly service. I just really enjoy this place. Ice Cream for desert!

My favorite fast food place and its family operated! Real good food fast! Everything they have on the menu is excellent. Eat outside in the summer, watch the Purple Martins on the side of the building, and enjoy the country life around you. Crops in the fields, and older farmhouses close by. Fun fact the owner is a huge Coke memorabilia collector. He has some of his collection inside the diner and outside is his locally famous "Coke" truck that he had made. You can't go wrong stopping by Newsomes! read more

What an amazing little restaurant! From the unique decor (extensive array of all things 'coca-cola'), to the vast menu and kind, efficient staff. The best part was that we had the honor and privilege of meeting and conversing with the 80 year-old original owner, who started the restaurant in 1987 with his late wife. What a memorable lunch! We arrived for an early lunch, so the place wasn't busy at all, but by the time we left, there was a steady flow of people grabbing to-go orders and the tables were filling up. The food itself was excellent! I had the grilled chicken and a "small" order of sweet potato fries. The "small" order of fries was HUGE! A full plate piled high with possibly the best SP fries I've ever had (even better than my home cooked ones!). The chicken was delicious! Not dry at all, and the tomato on the sandwich was a REAL tomato.... Ot one of those pink round slices you get at so many places! Hubs had the Reuben, a generous sized sandwich and potato salad (homemade, handed down recipe per the original owner)...he said all was delicious! The staff even made a special order cup of coffee for the hubs! This no-frills, retro-ish little fast-ish food joint quickly found its way into our hearts, and we look forward to many fun adventures that include stopping here for a nice, easy, non-pretentious meal in the future. Highly suggest going in a bit early, as you might just get lucky enough to meet the original owner and learn the lovely history of Newsome's! read more

Got there at 6:45, and they were out of roast beef. Got hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and peas. ($11.50) Hamburger steak was okay, gravy & onions were good. Peas were bland. Wife got an egg salad sandwich, and sweet potato fries, and she thought is was okay. When we got there, there was an older lady waiting for her ice cream order, and the lady told the girl making the ice cream, "I wanted a cone in the ice cream cup", and the girl that was working told her, "that's not what you said!" Then another lady in front of us told the same worker, "I called earlier", and the worker responded, "sometimes I put people on hold, and I forget them". read more

Visited the first time for dinner. Food was straight from cans. I haven't had cold canned peas in years. Cafeteria style. Ordered food at the counter, picked up when number announced placed on cafeteria trays. Food served on styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. Make your own drinks, iced tea dispenser nearly empty. All condiments in packets. Food was so disappointing. We won't be back. I truly wish I could say something good about this place! read more

Newsome's is consistently good. I keep wanting to try other things on the menu, but their Ruben is excellent and so is their steak and cheese so I keep getting those. A sandwich place needs to get both of those right and Newsome's does. They stay open till 9, taking orders till 8:30 pm. They take justifiable pride in getting good steak for that big ole steak and cheese. It costs more but you get more. The menu says it is an 8 -inch sub, but it's gotta be 10 or more inches long. Their Ruben is just right, but would be better on different bread. The onion tanglers and sweet potato fries are only delicious. Newsome's is clean, well-organized, consistent, and professional with an efficient, personable staff. I get momentarily frustrated when I go there, because Newsome's has a challenge to "Eat the Farm" that costs $35 if you can't eat it all. The Farm consists of about 5 pounds of hairy-backed man food topped off with a 32 -ounce milk shake. I know I could have pulled it off back in my 20s, but not now, even though there are 75 pounds more of me. That's the frustrating part. Those who pull off the challenge get the meal free, a bumper sticker and their name forever memorialized on the Wall of Fame. You can count on Newsome's to do you right at a good price. read more

Cute small town family restaurant in Burgess. They are not open everyday, but food and service are good. Love the interesting old time decorations. Very popular with locals. We have enjoyed our visits for the 2 years we have lived here. read more

Sandwich shop with lots of options on menu. I like their sweet potato fries too! Friendly staff.

First thing I want to say is that in full disclosure, this is my Son in Law and Daughters restaurant. That being said I do not nor will not give biased reviews, because I know people depend on these reviews to help them make decisions about their choice of food. The 5 stars is based on my lunch experience. This is not a fine dining facility nor do they claim to be. I highly recommend the steak and cheese. They can only be matched in Philly. I can usually eat a half of one, but because they are so good I sometimes attempt to eat a whole one, only to regret it. Every time I go in there between 11:30 an 1 they are super busy, but they are always quick to get the food out. Very friendly staff, great food, and quick service adds up to 5 stars. read more

Excellent burger for husband and tuna salad sandwich for me! Place is super clean and staff super friendly. Prices extremely reasonable. The curly fries were delicious and hot and a garden salad was fresh. Nothing wilted or funky (I'm a salad snob). Totally recommend. We will go back. read more

I walked in waited at the counter for 15 minutes and no one ever acknowledged my presence. It was so disrespectful considering I heard great things about the food . Never went back and never will. read more

5 STARS AGAIN FOR NEWSOME'S! . . . . WOW! . . . . I just finished a strawberry salad meal they fix that has spinach, strawberries, cranberries, nuts, feta cheese, cucumbers, grilled chicken and a delicious dressing that I bet is home made. A genius came up with this recipe. It costs 12 bucks and is worth every penny and more. It is delicious in so many ways with the spectacular flavors and combinations of flavors coming at you from more directions than arrows came at Custer. It's super-healthy and super-delicious served by a marvelous, professional, personable super-staff who never make a misstep. Things are well-organized and the place is spotless inside. This is the perfect weather to dine on Newsome's front porch. GO TO NEWSOME'S! . . GO NOW! . . GRAB YOUR KEYS AND GET MOVING! read more

This was our first time here. We drove up and they have a walk up window to order your food because of COVID. We are lazy so we were so pleasantly surprised that their menu is online and you can order without paying and they will text you when your food is ready. Perfect. They have a wide selection of mainly sandwiches. I got a tuna melt, kids got hot dogs and husband got bbq sandwich. Food was great and portions were generous! Prices were good too. We also tried the pumpkin milkshake and it was Da BOMB. read more

Great quick comfort food destination. Always wonderful staff. Great sense of humor. I was standing in line behind someone who asked if he could have a Pepsi. I thought he was joking but he was serious. The young lady at the register held up a Coke cup in the classic red and waved her hand in front of it like Vana White and asked if they had taken time to look around. They paused for a few minutes and looked around and chuckled while saying I'm so sorry but didn't realize. Needless to say, you won't get a Pepsi at this location. Coke product history and nostalgia abound. read more

Tried a few of these seafood spots in town. Love this place -- fantastic soft carb sandwich!!! Locals love this place as well, which tells a lot about this place. read more

Great food at great prices with great service. No frills, clean and tidy restaurant.

Went to Newsome's restaurant today for the first time! The Ruben Sandwich was one of the tastiest I've had in a long long time! Also ordered a large Side order of curly fries, when I say large I do mean LARGE! The service and staff were very friendly and polite! The indoor seating was pretty full so we opted for the front porch open air was perfect for lunch accept all the pollen in the air... read more

Friendly people, generally fast service, and quality food without being overpriced. You can even order food online! The online menu could be a little more user friendly, but considering they may be the only restaurant in the area with this feature, I'm already happy for the option. :) I've had multiple items on the menu, and all were great especially the steamed shrimps when they are available! read more

Great service and love the chicken Philly sub with provolone add fried onions and peppers, mayo lettuce and curly fries are the bomb! Always get to go but they have a eat in or outside option read more

A tidy small town place to grab a lunch.. staff was very friendly, food was served with a smile and a great seating space to eat. I took advantage of the crab cakes and wasn't disappointed. The menu consists of many of the hot metal grill choices. I was sold as soon as I walked in the door to a Diet Coke fountain service. There was a little bit of foot traffic ordering take out... and if it hadn't been a monsoon of rain, there's seating outside. In the area on business and will probably swing by the next time I am in town... read more

Very good "bar food" without the bar. Gets very busy in the summer especially on Friday and Saturday so plan ahead.

The goto place for the locals. Good selection of food and sides. Consistent quality and very pleasant experience.

Very friendly staff and one of the only restaurants in Reedville open late on a Tuesday. Had the fried trout, fries, coleslaw and hush puppies. Very big portion and food came out hot. Beautiful flowers and fields surrounding the quaint restaurant. read more

Visited from NY and this was one of the only restaurants in the area. The food is AMAZING. We went here atleast once a day. Zero complaints. Staff was very friendly. Recommend anything on the menu read more

I don't give one star ratings lightly, but I need to warn people away from this place -- especially if you are looking for seafood. Even the French fries were half cooked. read more

Great food and staff. This is a Northern Neck locals favorite.

I'm giving these folks a 4 because the food tasted good. There were a couple of glitches. First, I asked for a Ladies room to wash my hands. The young man, Talmadge, said there was no public restroom. So that was a little disheartening. We ordered burgers, it was nothing but a bun and meat patty. The meat patty was fresh and flavorful. However, since Talmadge didn't ask what we wanted on it, we thought it came with lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc. maybe they just had a bad day, so I'm not trying to throw them under the bus. Just make sure you've got some sort of wipes or hand sanitizer before you go and make sure you ask more questions than we did. read more

Good food, good service, good prices!! The folks there are very nice and accommodating...always with a smile!!

We found this little place while checking out the towns near our marina. This spot is the best! Britney and her family make everyone feel welcome during this hard time. They offer online ordering, phone orders and they have this cute little walk up window where you can place your orders and pick up your food. They have a loud speaker system so they can call your order number which is great cause you can safely wait in your car while waiting for your food. The service is quick and spot on every time with great food and friendly down home service! I definitely recommend going here. They have a variety of food including milkshakes and home made pies! read more

No need to go inside. There is a walk up order window . Food is hand cooked and made to order. A very large selection. Reasonably priced . Good hours . read more

We just ate at Newsome's and we'll definitely return. My daughter fell in love with their Betty Melt and the thin stripped onion rings beguiled the entire family. It's not health food, but if you're searching for a five-star crabcake or fantastic milkshake, this is your place. read more

I love this place! I have been 2 years in a row now and it is just DELICIOUS! I got the mozzarella sticks and crab cake both of which I LOVED. I come once a year and look forward to having them next time I visit! read more

Amazing service and exemplary food! A perfect example of how a family restaurant should operate.

As "Come Here's", to the tiny town of Burgess, VA, we come here often. Super casual (styrofoam plates, plastic forks), easy prices, homemade REAL shaved beef and crabcakes with minimal fillers and excellent shoestring sweet potato fries...I've never made a wrong menu pick! read more

The physical restaurant is a great little place. I'm from California and was visiting my Dad: best crab sandwich I've ever had and there was nothing on the bun except a little mayo. There's just something so satisfying about a crab sandwich that doesn't break the budget plus has a bunch of real crab in it and doesn't taste fishy. Good coleslaw as a side with some sweet potato fries and a cookie dough razzle for desert. Definitely a meal and a place I plan to revisit in the near future! read more
