Located in the heart of Hampton off Queens Way, The Deep is located amongst a strip of stores near…read morethe corner. Parking is limited. When it is cold, do not sit near the door because there is a strong, cold draft that is constantly blowing. Mak made me a delicious mocktail. She was also an excellent server. I had the crab dip and the shrimp and grits. The dip did not have enough crab meat and the mayonnaise was overbearing. The shrimp and grits were okay, it was a little too soupy and greasy. The restaurant is small and quaint, but it adds a nice touch to that area.

They have a few items of each type of food so there are salads, veggies, meats and seafood. We tried their ribeye with baked beans and Brussels sprouts. I enjoyed the chimichurri ribeye with the baked beans. I added their house marinara to the steak and beans and it was delicious! We also had their cheeseburger and it was ok. Two smash patties with usual condiments with short French fries. Their dessert was very good. Customer service is very attentive without being annoying. Very polite, knowledge of the menu and quick to follow up for drinks and see if you need something. Sandman Grill is a very nice local bar and restaurant that makes you feel welcomed and with good food in a nice place to relax.

I can definitely see why this place has the hype it does. At first we came in and it seemed kind of…read moreeh and there was no one in the restaurant but then our server came over and blew us away. Her name was Jen and she was amazing!!! I would totally go back to be served by her. The food was amazing I got 6 "laughing king" oysters and oyster chowder. My husband got the oyster po boy which he would rate an 8/10 (there was a lot of bread but still great) but the shoe string fries were easily a 10/10. I will definitely be back for this downtown corner cute wharf-like vibe!

My daughter picked this location when we were on a road trip for the day. She had a taste for…read moreoysters and we were looking for some local seafood by the water. While this restaurant isn't on the water, it's definitely close (2 miles) to a beautiful beach. The ambiance of this place has a great vibe. The interior decor has a great bar setting where you can sit up and watch TV and order some ice cold oysters. Or you could grab a table inside or outside and visit with family. We opted for the outdoors as we had a quick glimpse of sun on this rare April day, and got to sit under the umbrella patio. Our waitress was super accommodating and brought us our four oysters and tuna salad with shoestring french fries very quickly. My daughter ordered the fried fish sandwich that had melty cheese and some tartar sauce on it. It was a solid sandwich, nothing to write home about, but definitely gave us a beach ocean feel vibe. Four oyster sampler went from sweet to salty and didn't disappoint! They were fresh. They were cold and they had a great minionette and spicy horseradish to accompany.

My only thing was the top part of the deck should all be high tops, so you can actually see over the railing. It was difficult to see the beautiful water and tunnel construction on the upper deck with the low tables. I got the salad, and it was nice portion. I look forward to returning and sitting right on the edge near the water.

The Deadrise is my go to in Hampton for a quick bite of authentic seafood. They have lots of…read moreoptions, great service, and a beautiful view. This past weekend, I visited, and it happened to be Restaurant Week. My go-to meal is their crab cake sandwich and fries, but I ventured out and tried their special: New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Mac and Cheese. The chowder was okay. The clams were a little chewy and it lacked flavor; needed a few more dashes of salt at the least. The seafood Mac and Cheese had potential. The crab meat on top looked enticing. The noodles were cooked to perfection. But the flavor was also lacking. It was not cheesy enough to call a Mac and cheese and again needed more salt and/or other seasonings. There also wasn't much seafood to boast about. Maybe a scallop or 2, a very small quantity of shrimp....the crab meat and roll were the highlight. 3 STARS (for this visit). The service was GREAT! Attentive, fast, and friendly. But I was disappointed with this dish. I'll be back. I'll get my crab cake!

We ordered onion rings and calamari as appetizers. But the calamari was frozen and it would be a while before it was be ready so we got the crab dip instead, which I absolutely loved then we asked if we could have more pita chips for it and she said yes you get eight more for a dollar. Excellent deal so we did that. My husband got a rum runner I got a mango colada and my mom got a virgin mango colada all were very good. My mom got a scallop meal fried with potato salad, I got fish and chips with coleslaw, and my husband got fried oysters with collards and potato salad. All our meals came with delicious hush puppies. Everything was delicious, large portions, we were stuffed. The restaurant was clean and attractive. We had a very nice time. Staff seem friendly and like their jobs, which is nice to see. We will definitely be back.

I've been going to Harpoon Larry's for well over a decade, and for many years it was one of my…read morefavorite spots in Newport News. I even used to go to the one in Hampton Va. Unfortunately, over time the experience has slowly declined. Food quality: The seafood just isn't prepared with the same care it once was. Flavors feel less fresh, and the overall execution has slipped. Service: Staff used to be attentive and welcoming, but now service feels inconsistent and less polished. Presentation: Even the way dishes are plated has gone downhill, which takes away from the enjoyment of the meal. Highlights: Oyster nights are still fun, and I do enjoy trying new varieties when they're available. That tradition keeps me coming back occasionally. Consistency & value: As someone who has lived in Newport News for over 20 years and been a regular here, I look for consistency and good value. Sadly, Harpoon Larry's no longer delivers on those fronts. Overall, while Harpoon Larry's still has its moments, especially on oyster nights, it's hard to recommend it as a regular go-to spot anymore.

The twisted sauce seasoning (all sauces combined) was flavorful; however, the potatoes were slightly overcooked. The primary reason for our four-star rating was the slow and inattentive service, despite three servers being on duty. Upon arrival, we waited at the entrance for a bit until a delivery driver walked past us and was assisted first. We also observed another table waiting to place their order request to move to the bar because no one had serviced them. While the food was enjoyable, we would choose to dine elsewhere due to the service experience today.
