BBQ sandwich with a side of fries.  ramekin of coleslaw came with it.
Nicole M.

This place was so welcoming! The staff was super friendly, the decor and feeling when you walk in was very positive. You order at the register and they ring you your food-and quick! We ordered the chopped NC BBQ and it was delicious! So moist and full of flavor. Good size amount for a sandwich too. Coleslaw was amazing! One of the best I've had. Not too soupy and had a good taste. Sebring size with sandwich left me wanting more though. Fries were good, but for $3.79 for sides, it was not very many. I expected a larger portion. Other than the side prices being a little steep , this will definitely become a favorite. They also have burgers, ribs, chicken tenders, and much more. Sides also include green beans and okra, and other veggies. Meals are $16.99 with 2 sides and a drink. The girls working were so sweet and helpful. So glad it's just about 5 minutes away!

So we were in the area and seen some really nice pics for Bubba and franks. Serviced by Sandy, who gave awesome service and very knowledgeable of the menu gave the following recommendation to get the Brisket Philly combo with okra and sweet tea It was great will be back next time.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Stopped in for a quick lunch, staff is super friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and comfortable and the decor is cute fits the theme. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and mac and cheese both were good! The mac & cheese was kind of small, but I'm just greedy. Everything was in my hand in 10 minutes. Friendly and Quick service, Good food way better than all of the surrounding fast food places.

Bacon Cheese Burger
Vance S.

It had been my experience that most of these Smokehouse BBQ joints in the area are "ok, but I've had better". Bubba & Franks Smokehouse made me have a refreshing view of that old clique of thinking. Couldn't have been a better choice for Friday night dinner. I had the Brisket quesadillas and a Bacon Cheese Burger. Wifey had the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Unfortunately she wanted a fried chicken dinner, and thats what we ordered. But the small print revealed the dinner was actually a sandwich. The quesadillas are a hit! Tender smoked brisket cooked to perfection heated between a flour tortilla with cheese and served with sour cream and pico-d. Be sure and have napkins for this one cause you gonna need em. The burger was even more amazing! It was at least a quarter-pound patty grilled-smoked to perfection with cheese, bacon and the kicker, dill pickle chips. The fried chicken sandwich was served hot and delicious. Bubba & Franks hit the spot on all levels. Food was ready when we arrived and it was fresh and hot. Looking forward to trying them again, you should too. Happy Yelping!!!!

Yummy!

Best burgers we've had! Chargrilled & large! Friendly service & can't wait try to their bbq sometime soon! The chicken and dumplings & Brunswick stew were really great too.

Carolina NC Style (Chopped Pork)
Kasia W.

Food was amazing. Customer service was even better. This place was recommended to us and needless to say, we were not disappointed! The NC style chopped pork is honestly the closet thing I've had in Virginia to authentic NC barbecue. The brisket Philly was delicious! My fiancé loved it. The sides were delicious. Everything was well-seasoned and hot. They also have a drive through, so if you call your order in you can pick it up through the drive through. 10/10 would recommend this place. We will definitely be eating here again!

They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!

I've never seen such a fun menu before my mom and I both ordered the honey butter buzz chicken sandwich. I also got a side of waffle fries. My mom ordered the triple chocolate shake. They were out of the chocolate so she got a strawberry. That made her a little sad but the strawberry shake was delicious so she was OK. They gave you a lot of fries so I tried to split them with my mom, but she didn't like them. They weren't very hot and they had heavy seasoning on a few and the rest were kind of bland. The sandwiches were a little spicy. And we were supposed to get no spice, but I think they put spice on it anyway mine was just a little spicy. My mom's was more spicy, but that might be because she doesn't like any spice at all. Overall, ambience was good. No complaints at all. I felt very comfortable there. And I lied to my sandwich. Will definitely go back and we'll try something different and hopefully they have the triple thick chocolate shakes next time.

This was surprising considering that there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant but I assume there were a lot of to-go orders they were taking care of as well. The staff started arguing with each other because one of them was kind enough to make sure the kitchen was sticking to the orders properly on behalf of the customers waiting. And even then, they still messed up my order lol. The price was a bit steep for a combo meal. I got the 4pc fried chicken with the waffle fries. The chicken had the signature nashville seasoning style but beyond that, it's nothing special in my opinion. I felt like I've had better brined chicken in fast food joints like Popeyes, Bojangles, or Jollibee, for a more affordable price.

I recently tried Smashburger for the first time and cannot say enough good things about them…read more My wife and I both ordered the Smoked Brisket Bacon Smashburger. I added a side of "Smashfries" (cheese & bacon covered fries). My wife got the "Smashtots" (cheese & bacon covered tatertots). My grandson ordered the Double Truffle Mushroom Smashburger. Though it took a bit of time for our order to arrive (from what we saw, they have a hugh takeout business), it finally came out -- so hot we almost could not eat it. The Brisket Bacon Smash was enormous and incredibly favorable - a bit messy with BBQ sauce ah dripping. My grandson's Mushroom Smash was significantly smaller than ours - almost like a mini-burger - but he said it was also hot, favorable and delicious. Both the Smashtots and Smashfries truly justified the term, "loaded", being covered in bacon and almost swimming in delicious melted cheese (not the typical Cheez-Wiz dip). They have a unique selection of fountain drinks (Dragon Juice, etc.) which were not quite as good as they sounded, so I wound up sticking to the standard soda. The cost is not exorbitant but Smashburger is not cheap. Their burgers cost $10-$14, but the amount of food you get makes it feel worth the price. I compare that to another premium burger joint like Five Guys which has a similar cost for their burgers, but the value just does not feel be the same, which is why I stopped going to Five Guys. The ONLY negative about the entire visit, was that one of the persons waiting on us had dreadlocks literally down to her knees. Hair like that in a restaurant environment is always less than desirable. But it appeared well kept and so was a relatively minor issue. All in all, Smashburger is was a delightful new restaurant discovery; one which I hope to visit often.

So - Door Dash gave me some kind of new year deal where if I tried somewhere new, I got a fairly…read moresubstantial discount. I was craving a craft burger, and I usually order those from Red Robin -- but the deal was enticing so I went ahead and decided to try Smashburger. I ordered the truffle mushroom smashburger and sweet potato waffle fries. I gotta say, for the price, it was just...eh. Edible for sure, but nothing super fabulous either. I can make a better burger in my oven at home than this was, and the sweet potato fries were okay for sure, but nothing spectacular. Delivery took a while too for some reason. I don't know that I'll revisit this place, but it was average overall for sure.

They have a pretty extensive menu for a burger joint, with nine Valhallas (stuffed burgers), almost 2 dozen signature sandwiches (think patty melts), several regular burgers, hotdogs, and several sides including onion rings (they were out today), tots, several iterations of fries, and nachos. I ordered the Jana - a Valhalla stuffed with Swiss and Muenster cheeses and mushrooms, topped with a fried egg and "Viking Sauce," a sort of chili or meat sauce that seems to be made from turkey. It's huge- I practically had to unhinge my jaw like the Midgard Serpent to bite it! This is a $15 burger and it is well worth it. Understand that when they say "stuffed burger," it's basically two burgers with the stuffing squashed between them on a nice, big bun. I may not need to eat again today. My Bride got the Frigga sandwich - a beef patty with bacon, caramelized onion, Gouda cheese and grilled pineapple tidbits. At $11.50, it's reasonably priced, and must have been good- she wolfed it down like it was Tyr's hand. We opted for combos so we both got tater tots crispy enough to do ASMR videos with and drinks- they have both fountain and bottled drinks available. We had one of each. With Newport News' exorbitant meals tax, lunch came to $46 before tip. I'm not even mad about it- it was worth every penny. An excellent meal with some great customer service. I'm not likely to make the hour drive just to eat here, but I will certainly be back anytime I'm in town already and need to slay my hunger Viking style!

Long version: So I went to check out this Mexican spot in Hampton and it was pretty interesting. The little mall that this place is in looks run down and I was wondering if my car was going to get broken into while it was parked there. But once you get inside this place has some interesting vibes and tons of fun decorations. I got the California burrito with a Mexican Coke and highly recommend! It is a 14 inch burrito that you can hold in your hand with guac, shredded Monterey Jack, carne asada steak, crispy fries with cotija cheese. There was a big group of people (maybe 10-12) in there when we arrived that was eating up a lot of the attention of the one waiter. Also, we had a long wait for food because they actually ran out of steak that was prepped and so they had to prep more and grill it up for the burrito. My friend got the OG burrito which he thought was good, but was a little soggy from the juice from the chicken. Even with everything, I would still recommend this place, and their California burrito was amazing.
