    Curly Bill w pulled pork.
    Eric G.

    Great food and drink in a downtown place which reminds you of your favorite college pub. We had the Curly Bill - a ton of pulled pork, well seasoned with just enough smoke; great pickle; great crispy onions, on a fluffy onion poppy Kaiser - excellent! My daughter had the Smoking Cobb salad with pulled pork - lots of fresh greens / veggies. Huge. Service was amazing. Our waitress (Krystal) handled the entire dining area and the bar, along with mixing the drinks, on what was a pretty busy Saturday lunch service - well done! Ample parking down the street in muni lot. Very short drive from the Aquatic Center or the Colosseum.

    Lettuce wrapped cheese burger. Was great.

    Food was good. Everyone except one in our party got some type of burger. The tacos looked and tasted amazing. I enjoyed my lettuce wrapped burgers.

    Located in downtown Hampton, this restaurant serves organic, free range dishes. Service was friendly and the ambiance is rustic inside. Outdoor seating is available. Unfortunately this place just closed permanently 2 days after we visited it.

    Visited BCBC while in Hampton after walking at Fort Monroe Beach. When we entered, we were greeted immediately and the host did tell us that even though they weren't super busy, dishes were taking longer than hed like to get out. Definitely appreciated the transparency. We decided to stay. We sat out back on their patio, and it's a nice vibe with colored lighting and good music. While I do not remember our waitress name, I do remember her saying she was new, and it was only her 2nd night working on her own. Had she not said anything, I never would have been able to tell. She was great! Very attentive, nice, and just down to earth. Our entrees didn't take too long to come out at all! I had the brisket sandwich and slaw and sweet potato fries along with some bake wings. The sandwich is called the outlaw, and it's newer to the menu. It's a helluva sandwich! I couldn't even finish it all. The sweet potato fries were good as well but the slaw, I did not like. It is NOT your traditional coleslaw. I believe it's made with kale. The wings were very good - they reminded me of the smoked wings at Smokey bones but better. All in all, it was a nice night out with really great food and service. We will definitely visit again!

    Super upset about making this review. Looking at previous reviews and their menu I thought this was a no brainer 5 star ... unfortunately due to the service, I was incorrect. We showed up and were seated right away- off to a great start. Unfortunately that is where the great service ended. It took awhile for someone to come take our drink orders.... Then another 20 minutes or so to even get the beer we had ordered. They finally came to drop off the beer and we clearly had enough time to look at the menu, so we ordered... and then waited... and waited... and waited -- 45 minutes !!!! During that time, our drink glasses were empty and we were never spoken to, except for the time that they accidentally tried to deliver our neighboring table's food to us instead. One waitress even went around our table to go to the neighboring table to ask if they needed anything, looked at our table with the drinks clearly empty and walked right around us without saying a thing. We had ordered wings, a pulled pork sandwich and a burger. All were good, not great. My burger was good with goat cheese, yum! The pulled pork sandwich was a large size with a large order of fries. The wings were supposed to be buffalo lemon pepper, but they were definitely not any buffalo and all (even too much) lemon pepper. The Mac and cheese side was a no go for me, one note and not any seasoning other than beer cheese. They had a bunch of people "working" but seemed like no one was actually doing anything. One girl was sitting in a booth playing on her phone, two others were huddled around her. Two bar tender/waitresses were doing everything. While we were there, only three other tables were full and a handful of people at the bar - the service should not have been THAT bad! Food - 3 Service -0

    In town for work-a group of us decided to try Brown Chicken Brown Cow. The service, food and atmosphere were all wonderful. Ordered the aristocracts burger with a gluten free bun. It was delicious!

    What a great find. I sampled the chili which was great, and had a burger with waffle fries which was excellent. Service and food couldn't have been better. Very friendly atmosphere, clean, inviting, good beer selection and large outdoor seating section. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

    I've never been in downtown Hampton. It was a little later in the evening just 3 days before Christmas. We were lucky enough to snag a parking spot close by, however, I must note that they have the main street under construction so it's closed off. They were not completely busy, but since I only saw 1 server and 1 bartender, they had their work cut out for them. We were seated immediately. We did have to wait a while, but understandably so. The restaurant is a bit divey. It's dark wood makes it hard for good lighting. However, very clean. I opted for the Brothers Grimm burger with onion rings. This was delicious. It was smothered with beer cheese and fried onions. Hubby ordered the aristocrat burger with mac and cheese. Our son ordered the cheeseburger and waffle fries off the kids menu. Everything was great. The only thing I would suggest would be to put the entree on larger pans. I love the idea of metal trays instead of plates, however, a larger tray is needed. There was no room for me to put ketchup on the tray. Other than that, good food, great service even though they were short staff.

    I hope that this was just an off-day when I visited Brown Chicken Brown Cow on Saturday, 4/22/23. This was an inaugural visit for a friend and myself - she lives in Williamsburg and we decided to meet (somewhat) halfway. I suggested BCBC and was excited to catch up while checking out a place I've heard good things about. BCBC isn't the biggest spot, but they had a decent amount of guests already dining when I arrived. I was seated immediately and looked over the menu while Adin was caught up in traffic. BCBC's interior is composed of a lot of wood and brick. It has a pub feel to it, which I liked. It was cozy and chill. Moustapha was our server, although he never gave us his name. In addition, his presence was minimal - whenever we needed something he never seemed to be on the floor. From what I could tell, he was the only server on the clock. There was a bartender who was also serving, but she was running laps around Moustapha. As things got busier, a man who appeared to be the manager-on-duty was working as a food-runner. Moustapha was quiet but nice, but it seemed like he was in the back more than on the floor. Plus, his awareness wasn't sharp - he'd walk to and fro without looking up. I don't know if that was intentional, but we had a tough time flagging him down as yelling, "Hey! You!" wasn't going to work. My biggest issue with BCBC is the food - I came away unimpressed. When you include 'chicken' in your restaurant's name, that will be the first thing I order during my inaugural visit as I expect it to be amazing. Words like 'pickle-brined' and 'buttermilk' look good on paper - but the brine did nothing to enhance the chicken and its flavor profile. All it seemed to provide was dark skin - it was dark enough to appear overcooked. It wasn't overcooked, if you're wondering, but the skin wasn't crispy. In addition, the chicken platter I had was supposed to come with a choice of dipping sauce. I didn't receive any sauce, Moustapha never asked me and I didn't read the entire menu description. That's partially on me, but Moustapha could've brought that up. Oh well. Adin & I split an appetizer - the hot pretzels. We enjoyed them but there was nothing spectacular about them. They were served as pretzel sticks - I expected them to be served in the traditional pretzel shape while hanging from a small hook. The presentation isn't a pressing issue, so overall BCBC's pretzel was fine. Adin had a burger and told me it was pretty good. So, points awarded there. I bought a second chicken platter for my mom to take home to her, but she opted for coleslaw (I had the steak fries). Mom came away just as unimpressed with the chicken, too, and added that the coleslaw was, "the worst coleslaw I've ever had." Mom's not a slaw expert, but that's as damning a statement as I've ever heard. Again, maybe Brown Chicken Brown Cow was off their game this day. I'll give them another chance down the line, but for now I'll stick with fried chicken places closer to home. JV

    Went back and changing my review to two stars. The food just isn't that great. The steak fries are good but that's it. My burger was bland and the bun was dry. The meatloaf resembled prison protein loaf. It's a nice atmosphere the bar has good variety, just wasn't wowed. My husband ordered fried chicken it was so over cooked it looked burnt. Even the bottom of the roll was burnt. Big sigh...

    Side Cesar salad ... $8 for a handful of lettuce and 6 stale croutons.

    I usually get food to go... it's fine, but they really need to rethink their prices. Don't waste your money on the sides or appetizers.

    We had a couples date night at Brown Chicken Brown Cow and it was the spot to be. Great ambiance, delicious food and friendly service. For appetizers we got the loaded fries and green fried tomatoes. The fries weren't my favorite because it was just too much cheese for my liking but the green fried tomatoes...perfection. For my main dish I ordered the Mother Clucker and a side of Mac and beer cheese. We all enjoyed our meals and would return again.

    Are pets only allowed on Mondays? Or can they sit out on the patio any business day?

    Any bus day outside

    Why are they closed at 945pm, I swear I looked it up and it said midnight?

    We’re open later only on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Sophia and I have not been here in a year but are no strangers to CM Chicken. For years, we've…read moreeither dined in or ordered takeout when they offered discounts. Right before we left for the Christmas trip home, we decided to stop by and catch up. Let's see how the visit went. There were hardly any people inside when we walked in which was perfectly fine with us. The staff as always greeted us before we got seated. And the vibe was very relaxed throughout. After a few minutes of looking over the order, we were ready. Mine consisted of honey chicken wings (10) and a side of curly fries. I had the honey chicken tenders previously and enjoyed my selection. So why not go with the flavor again?! The food itself was good. Never have I ever had a bad dish here so that streak is perfect. The wings were crunchy as always and the honey flavor wasn't too sweet for my palate. The curly fries, as always, were the perfect side. I actually saved half the food for dinner that evening where the taste wasn't that different. Thank you CM Chicken for delivering good eats. You know we'll be back for more soon :)

It built up a little bit, but they had a nice amount of sweetness along with the gochujang, and I really enjoyed the blend of flavors. If you like the spicy buldak ramen I'm sure you might like this too. We ordered a lot of the flavors, including curry, snow, garlic, soy, honey, garlic, lemon, and finally the hot spicy one they're all really good in their own respective ways and even the original chicken itself was really good. If you're afraid of spice, I think the garlic soy or the curry ones are your best bet. I really enjoyed both of them, but especially the garlic soy. The sauce was sweet, umami, and tangy and allowed the chicken to still be crispy underneath. Better than other restaurants like Bonchon. The lemon was really nice too. I love the scallions. They had a little bit of brightness to the dish. The lemon scallions were good mixed with the other flavors. The service was awesome. The lady, who I assume was the owner, was super nice to us along with the waiter. They gave us a lot of time to wait for a whole party to arrive and they gave us recommendations and made sure to advise us on the menu. We had one person in our party that had peanut allergies and she clarified that all the stuff they cook does have a little bit of peanut oil so if you are really allergic to peanuts, I would definitely avoid this place but apart from that you will definitely enjoy eating here. CM chicken is a franchise if you didn't know so if you like this spot and are not local to the area, I'm sure there might be a spot close by to you wherever you reside on the East Coast.

I actually met one of the owners while shopping at Games Farmers Market in Newport News. She spoke so passionately about her restaurant being a soul food spot that I knew I had to try it. I went within the week, and they don't open until after 3 p.m. (I believe they stay open until 1 or 2 in the morning). They even have extra parking across the street, which is nice. I went in by myself, and they told me I could sit wherever I wanted. Since I was one of the first people in there that day, the bartender/waitress greeted me with so much kindness. She went over some of the specials, and I ended up ordering the Rasta Pasta along with a drink--a Pineapple Upside Down (tea or lemonade, I can't quite remember). Whatever it was, it was delicioso. That drink was a 10/10--I'd go back just for that! When the pasta came out, it was served with garlic toast, and I also ordered some macaroni and cheese. The pasta was flavorful, and honestly, I've been thinking about going back for it again. The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but to be fair, I prefer baked, homemade macaroni & cheese--so that's just me, but it was good. While I was there, I chatted with several of the owners and the cook, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I even learned one of the owners is a veteran. The restaurant has a sports bar vibe, with TVs everywhere, music playing, and a DJ--it's lively, clean, and has a great atmosphere. I really love the vibe, the people, and how comfortable they made me feel. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for good food, good people, and a good atmosphere, I'd say give George's a try--you might end up loving it like I did.
