Not a very flashy building during the day and was hard to see building while driving up street. Pleanty of parking in a gravel/sandy lot with some pot holes filled with rain water. There is handicap parking with a ramp next to front door. Was greeted and seated immediately by Raven which took our drink order of a water and a sweet tea. There is a full bar with some tap beers. Raven gave us several minutes to look over menu before returning and answering a few questions. I was interested in wings which Raven pointed out were on special this Wednesday at $1 each, minimum of 10. Cheaper than the plate of 8 I was going to order. I went for this with a side of onion rings. My wife ordered the Freedom Philly with cole slaw. The food came out in good time served in red plastic baskets lined with paper. My wife enjoyed her philly and the slaw which is mayonaise based and seasoned well to our liking. The smoked wings came out hot and seasoned with medium wing sauce as requested. The chicken wings are some of the larger ones I have ever been served. My onion rings came out hot, lightly battered and tasting good. At 1:30 in middle of week there were only a few other tables occupied. Raven was the only server and was maintaining service well. She came back and checked on us several times. If we are in area again this could be a stop.

Last weekend, Sophia and I traveled from Newport News to this little spot in Gloucester for some…read moreBBQ. This place has been around for years and won local awards from competitions. They even landed a spot on Channel 13's Friday Flavor segment years back. Let's see how the food turned out. There was a decent crowd inside when we walked inside. The decor was nice and clean. Again, the restaurant's been around for years, but it's definitely well kept. Just like other BBQ spots, you have to order up front. On the right, the menu's on the board to choose from. It took us minutes to select our respective meals, but at the end of the day, we were ready. For my order, I selected a dinner size plate of beef brisket with a side of fried pickles. All was quite delicious. The brisket was cooked perfectly and went well with both BBQ sauces from Scoot's. And I liked their fried pickles were actually small spears. Fried and not too much sodium. Sophia ordered a brisket sandwich with fried pickles and enjoyed her selection. A very good first time for the both of us. This won't be the last time we'll be here. Till next time :)

Unfortunately, they were out of the burnt ends, but we had no trouble finding plenty of other delicious options.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

My autistic teen actually left to sit outside for some peace and quiet We ordered a variety of items for appetizers and dinner. The crabmeat with pita pieces was delicious as was the seafood French fries. My son enjoyed his She Crab soup. For a main course I ordered the Rachel Sandwich. The fish, cheese and Cole slaw were tasteless, and the bread was hard. Nothing enjoyable at all other than my side of Brussels sprouts. Everyone had the same feelings about the food. Passable but not worth coming back again for.

We sat outside, which was perfect. We started with the tuna bites, and they were excellent. I usually don't like anything blackened, so I wasn't expecting these to be my favorite, but they were amazing. The tuna was perfectly cooked, and the peppery blackened seasoning was just right without overpowering it. We also had a dozen raw oysters. Salty, fresh and wonderful -- exactly what you want this time of year. It's oyster season! Then came the crab fries. So good. A huge pile of fries loaded with crab and cheese. Really, how can you go wrong with that combination? And they definitely didn't skimp on the crab. For my meal, I had the Cobb salad with crab and oysters. It was HUGE. I easily could have shared it with my husband, especially after all of our appetizers. YROC is worth a visit for the setting alone, but the food was surprisingly good and ended up being the real highlight. Beautiful marina, great outdoor seating, fresh seafood and generous portions. We'll definitely be back.

The biggest issue was the portion size. The special only came with two tacos, which only contained 6 shrimp in total, which felt a little light for a meal. I was also surprised by the bar. I asked for a mojito and was told that they couldn't make drinks that are not on their menu. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing because from the looks of it, they had a full-service bar, which I wouldn't think a mojito would be an issue to make. And no, I wasn't asking for a mojito during a busy time when the bartender was slammed. Overall, the food tasted very good and the waterfront location was hard to beat. It was only two small things that kept this from being a 5 star experience, but I absolutely would come back as I enjoyed myself.

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.

We sat outside, we had to keep swatting away flies. Our server was the worst, she barely let me finish my sentence before she walked away. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay. Our food was not great either. This time I got the crab cakes, no sauce came with it and my mashed potatoes were dry. The seasonal vegetable was asparagus and it was not cooked properly, it was tough and fibrous. My husband got a steak, it has no flavor and his asparagus was the same as mine. I couldn't want to just leave. What a disappointment.
