Our first time to Yorktown and had no idea what to expect. The riverwalk area was short but nice…read more What made it great was this restaurant. The restaurant was busy. We only waited about 15 minutes. But the view of the water made the wait enjoyable. The atmosphere was appropriate for a casual place. Lots of dark wood, a bar, booths and, I assume, faux copper ceiling tiles. We were seated in a high table near the window with a view of York River. Our server was great! She helped me make a choice of beer. The double IPA was citrusy which I like. I was torn between the fish tacos, a loaded baked potato with "famous" chili, or grilled crab sandwich. She said beyond a doubt get the tacos. She was so right! I love fish tacos. The Booming Tacos, an off-the-menu item, was over the top. I mean there was so much rockfish it was over the top of the grilled flour tortilla. The moist blackened fish pieces laid atop spring mix and drizzled with a creamy spicy boom boom sauce. My husband had the Rachel, a turkey sandwich on rye with Russian dressing and coleslaw, it came with french fries that seemed to have a bit of a coating that made them very crunchy. Everything was great. If ever back in the area, this will be the place to eat.

Had to add salt and pepper to taste anything and then just didn't even eat 1/2. Paid an extra $1 for cheese and onions on top. I'm talking bye 7 little cheese pieces and the same with tiny onions. Their clam chowder was salty. And other than the fried seafood, it wasn't worth the cost. Need to remind ourselves this is tourist trap with bumped up prices for quickly made (and not properly seasoned) food. Major disappointment and a waste of $30 for a sandwich, fries and a cup of chili

Very deceiving since it's in a strip mall. Think modern rustic. Our waiter was courteous and on point, no errors. There were 6 of us. No complaints. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. It was good. Good sized piece of chicken cooked just right. The french fries were good. Nothing super special, nothing terrible. If I was in Newport News again, I would eat here again.

So, we ordered some wings as an appetizer. They were supposed to be sweet and spicy Thai. You know…read morewe love all that, and they were supposed to come with sesame seeds on top. So, we get the wings, and the only heat they had was the warmth from the chicken. No flavor at all. It definitely wasn't sweet, and it wasn't spicy. By the third wing, we were still trying to figure out if the heat was going to kick in, and it did not. So, he's like, "OK," and I ordered the jalapeño and Swiss burger. You know me, I love jalapeños, so I'm thinking, "Okay, maybe it'll have some good savory flavor." I've done those kinds of burgers before. The flavor was mid. You could tell they just hand-patted the meat, threw it on the stove, and called it a day. No salt, no pepper, no flavor. Bland as can be. And the jalapeños weren't even hot. I was like, "What?" I grow fresh jalapeños, so I know what they're supposed to taste like, and these weren't it. One of our friends got the bourbon barbecue wings, and she said they tasted like somebody mixed a ketchup packet with some tomato paste, and that was about it. The only thing that was even decent was probably the sweet tea. And then, our friend had to order another meal. I think she got the chicken Philly or something like that, and that actually had some flavor. But here's what got me: how do the French fries have flavor, but my burger and wings don't? I will not be going back. And I'm gonna write a review, because that made no sense., they had pulled pork too. You know pulled pork is supposed to be savory, maybe with a nice sauce or two. This pulled pork they gave me? Dry. They barely gave me any sauce. No ma'am, no sir, it sucked big time. Not going back, not at all. I'm just glad I didn't pay full price, because I would've been mad.

It's also a good place for a date. I appreciate that the menu changes seasonally. I have some favorites like the fried green tomatoes which I always get, and the ahi. Absolutely terrific! Sometimes it's hard to choose what I want for dinner because everything on the menu sounds so good and I know I won't be disappointed, regardless of what I order. The place does get crowded so get there early, but do go. Life is short. Eat good food.

We had a party of 5 on a Friday and waited 30 minutes or so to be seated. I got the Seafood Trifecta and substituted the veggies for collard greens. Definitely a great choice! The food came out in a timely manner was served hot and fresh! Very delicious!!! The ambiance is very casual. I'd definitely come back!!

We had planned a trip to the YROC to celebrate my mom's 82 birthday. We knew it would be busy on a…read moreSaturday night but as it's winter not summer, I don't think we grasped HOW busy it would be. It was too chilly for the older ladies so we wanted to eat inside. We waited about 40 min for a table and we all got comfy for what ended up a loooong night. I wish I caught the name of our server but it was very loud, louder than usual. She was very sweet and friendly, but kept forgetting us. We put our full order in at once thinking to save time. Not really. It took us about 40 min to get our drinks...and the order was wrong. Our starters came shortly after and we had barely finished when our mains came out. Now, I can fully appreciate it was a busy kitchen, but there were some boo boos. To start, I ordered a Southern Revival. It comes in a whiskey glass. The thing is, I saw several of these being served and they were all full serves where mine was about halfway. If I'm paying $12 for a drink..give a full pour right? The wings that my brother in law ordered were the wrong ones. He asked for the mild buffalo and got super hot. Poor guy has Parkinson's so it was a rough go for him. We were all so hungry though that we just kept our food/drink. I ordered the YROC salad and wow. What a fantastic salad. Spinach, walnuts, apples, cranberry, and red onion with a raspberry vinaigrette. YUM! My sister got the cheese curds and from the way she devoured them I'm thinking they were pretty tasty. We all ordered a range of dishes as mains. I got the Mahi tacos (since the Huli chicken wasn't on the menu), mom got the captains special, her friend got the Trifecta, sis got the bang bang shrimp tacos and b-i-l got a burger. With the exception of the burger it was an amazing meal. We were so very full by the time we left we could barely walk to the car. We took a few moments to admire the view before heading home. This is a very casual, come as you are place for a good meal. Not sure about conversation if you eat inside, bring a sweater for eating out. If you don't like crowds but dig the vibe try lunch. Parking can be a challenge especially when they are really busy. There is a run off lot but it's a bit of a hike. Still...so worth spending a Saturday night with good food and great ambiance. Just wish we had a more attentive server.

To be fair, we do come in with usually at least 10-14 people. The service from everyone here has always been very nice. Conversely, there's only ever been like 1 or 2 staff at most. Service times for when we go aren't what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant as most places I think almost read your mind when you come in. It's like some sort of magic trick I swear. Anywho - one of the biggest wins for this place are the tacos. Seriously - they're just phenomenal. Last time I was here I got a chicken plate and it was 'ok'... however, learning from what everyone else ordered last time, tacos (flour preferred for me), is the way to go. :) Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very open, relaxed.
