    Margarita

    Came here for Cinco de Mayo, was the perfect spot for that Mexican craving. The California Quesadilla was great, a little more cheese on it and it would be perfect. My server brought out chips and salsa right away, and was helpful and attentive the entire time. Inside has well designed wooden booths and tables, very authentic feel for Hickory.

    Meeting up with old friends and this location was recommended. It did not disappoint for filling that Mexican craving and washing it down with a spicy margarita is never a bad thing! Food was flavorful and service was quick. There are plenty of selections to fill your appetite and enjoy a great night with friends. Average noise and fun location to enjoy!

    Ok, this is our families favorite local Mexican restaurant. The food is always great, the drinks are strong, and the people are kind. It can be a bit crowded especially on Tuesdays and not spotless but the atmosphere is warm and we truly enjoy this location.

    Tried 3 Amigos for the first time tonight and it was excellent! We had the carne adasa tacos, enchiladas, and kids had the chicken tenders and fries and nachos. We also tried the guac, pico, lava cake, and fried ice cream. And took the birria tacos and al pastor tacos to go. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is clean, service was prompt, portions are large, and prices are good! We all had leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. We will definitely be back!

    It is expensive for Mexican - but still good. It's just about 25% more than what we normally pay.

    First of all....staff is amazing! "Why not take a tequila shot too?" Plenty of parking. Great for large groups. Huge food selection which is always a good thing lol. Service was quick and on point. No mistakes with our large group during a busy dinner time. Large alcoholic menu for those much needed happy hours from margaritas, beer, wine and various cocktails. Only down fall would be leaving the parking area during rush hour. Just pop in a good song and enjoy!

    Chiles Poblanos

    Always great service and amazing food. I've had most of the popular items from the menu and everything has been great. Having lived in the Southwest for many years I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food and this place never disappoints. Today I had the stuffed poblanos. Soooo good.

    Beef burrito

    On our way to OBX we stopped at Three Amigos while taking the business portion of route168 to avoid the 168 toll section. It was worth the diversion to avoid the $9 toll and to have a nice meal. The lengua (beef tongue) tacos and shredded beef burrito were delicious with very large portions. They also provided both salsa and a white sauce dips for the chips. Plenty to eat and prices were reasonable. Servers were helpful and even arranged for substituting shredded beef in the burrito. Only glitch was that servers disappeared when time to pay the bill.

    Food and service are always on point. Fun to try daily…read morespecials, but regular menu items are easy go-tos. Always look forward to our meals here.

    I first visited Blue Seafood & Spirits over 10 years ago when they were brand new for a Yelp Elite…read moreTasting Event, and this was my first time back for a full meal. I had high expectations, and somehow they still exceeded them. They're the highest rated seafood restaurant in the Virginia Beach area on Yelp, and for good reason. There was even a small wait on a Wednesday night, which honestly told me everything I needed to know before we even sat down. Our server, Jenny, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and always seemed to show up right when we needed something. The head chef also stopped by our table and was incredibly kind and genuinely invested in making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. That level of hospitality really made the experience feel special. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche of roasted golden beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic. It was a classy little bite that got the evening off to a great start. Then came the sweet potato biscuits with apricot jam...listen, I could've eaten an entire basket of those and been perfectly happy. For my entrée, I ordered the crab cakes with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. These are the kind of crab cakes people are looking for. They were packed with lump crab, full of flavor, and had virtually no filler. Every bite was delicious. From start to finish, everything was on point. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a team that clearly cares about what they're serving. It took me over a decade to make it back, but I can promise it won't be another ten years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

    I rarely write reviews, but after spending over $250 celebrating my friend's daughter's 16th…read morebirthday at Shaking Crab, I felt compelled to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, the hostess, Milk, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. She made us feel valued from the start, and throughout the evening she continued to provide excellent service to every table she assisted. She truly deserves recognition and a promotion. Unfortunately, our assigned server provided one of the worst dining experiences I've had. After taking our food and drink order, she returned only with our drinks and then disappeared for 15-20 minutes without checking on us. My friend's daughter's entrée arrived before our appetizers, and our appetizer--fried hard chicken wings--didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later. When we asked about the delay, the server said it was because we requested the wings to be fried hard. She then made a comment about "Black people in the kitchen cooking." Whether she intended it as a joke or not, the comment was unprofessional and made us uncomfortable. Because of the poor service and attitude, we asked if another server could assist us. While Milk continued to be wonderful, another employee with purple-blue hair was also very rude when we asked for assistance. Her attitude was dismissive and unpleasant. Later in the evening, around 11 p.m., I asked a staff member near the kitchen if they had lids for our seafood buckets. She responded "No" with an attitude. I then asked if they had to-go cups, and she said they did but claimed she was off duty. Less than 30 seconds later, she went behind the bar and began making and serving drinks, which made her response even more confusing. Shortly afterward, she began arguing with my friend at our table for no apparent reason. At that point, we asked Milk to get the manager. The manager came over, sat down with us, listened to our concerns, and apologized. He explained that he was actually off that day but had come in to help support the restaurant. We appreciated that he took the time to hear us out and said he would address the issues with his staff. The food itself was good, but good food cannot make up for poor customer service and disrespectful attitudes. We wanted this to be a memorable celebration for my friend's daughter, not an evening spent dealing with rude employees. Customer service is just as important as the food. Sadly, because of the experience we had, we will not be returning. I hope management invests in better customer service training because employees like Milk show what great hospitality should look like, while others left a very negative impression.
