Chef Skip 757 is an order-to-go spot where you can see the entire food prep area as soon as you walk in. Unfortunately, that visibility only highlighted several concerning hygiene practices. One cook had extremely long locs that hung past his waist and wasn't wearing a hair net, while the other staff member was properly covered with gloves, apron, and a hair net. Even so, no one washed their hands after moving between tasks--handling raw items, pulling food from the fryer, and even touching the register. The most alarming moment was when a customer walked in from outside, went straight behind the counter, began talking loudly near the food, and was never asked to wash her hands, put on gloves, or step away. This was extremely unsanitary and should never happen in any food establishment. As for the environment, the floors and counters didn't look clean, and the setup leaves customers watching every misstep with no separation between prep and front area. Definitely some health department red flags. On a positive note, the food itself was cooked well--I ordered fish and fries, and the other item was a fish sandwich. Prices were reasonable, but overall the sanitation issues overshadowed everything. This is not a place I plan to revisit. read more

Tuesday 8/13/2024 Found this spot while in a Tik tok comment section so I decided to try it for myself. I made a takeout order via phone call and the service experience was easy. I got the chicken Philly $11 and the crab cake shrimp fish plate $24. - The chicken Philly was decent and the bread was nice and soft. Also the fries were pretty decent as well. - The crab cake shrimp fish plate was solid and if I was ranking the seafood I'd say: crab cake first, then shrimp, and fish. Overall, this was a solid food experience with decent food and good portions but nothing crazy or really impressive to me. read more

Driving to the location I was skeptical I had never been in the area before and I was like oh my goodness where is the GSP taking me. Once I entered the restaurant I wasn't greeted at all, there were only two workers so I am going to assume that they were really busy since there was about 4 cars outside before us. You can order your food from the kiosk what's great is that once you order you can go back in your car and the food will be delivered to you. Other then that the Philly cheese was amazing 5/5 and the seasoning on the fries 5/5. I really enjoyed the meal. *Reminder that there is no sitting inside* read more

I only grabbed the fried fish because I had ate not too long ago before finding this spot. It was closing soon but I had to try before leaving and I regret not getting the wings. Owner was helpful and you can tell they care about their business. The ambience was unique and you can tell the community gave lots of love! Will be coming back for sure. read more

1st thing you need to know is it is take out only! No tables inside or outside. He started as a food truck and it is basically a brick and morter food truck. You go in and order and wait outside for your food. No waiting inside. We had no idea but it was a beautiful day so we sat in my husband's truck bed and had a picnic. I got the fish tacos and my husband got a fish sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak for later. The portions were huge. The food was delicious. They do have specials but fries is also the only side. Very basic menu but done well. I so wanted to try the She Crab Soup....only $8!!! Glad I didn't cause those fish tacos filled me up!! I have already told several people about this place. Worth checking out if you like delicious fried seafood for a great price and huge portions. read more

After reading the reviews on here we decided to give this place a try! I was thinking to myself... fish tacos and Philly cheesesteaks at one place sounds a little random but man both of these are fabulous. You can smell the delicious seasoning before you even open up the fish tacos . It smelled like it would be really salty but it was absolutely perfect. Coleslaw is fantastic and there was like a semi sweet sauce on top. I'm usually not a person who likes sauces on the sweeter side but this entire combo works. Big portions and prices were more than fair. Fries were also seasoned really good. We will definitely be ordering take out from this place again! read more

The vibe is not the best and the people behind the counter are not friendly but not rude either. The underlying scent is fried food and weed. You can tell there was a decision made to not spend any money on the decor and instead on the food. I got the sense people order their food ahead of time and then pick it up. You order your food and they don't really want you to wait in there. You wait in your car and then they come out and get you and then you follow them back in. They show you your food so you can say it's as you ordered and then they close it up and bag it. The food is cooked to order so it's hot and fresh. It was tasty. This was their redeeming factor. But would I go back? Likely not. read more

Tried their Philly cheesesteak and it was delicious. Only downside was the bread was more like a hot dog bun. Would love more of a hoagie crispness. What a surprise, though, it came with fries. Makes it a great value. And they were awesome. Both items were great, but those fries are game changers. read more

I wish they had more locations!' I need an investor to invest in them for more locations. Best Philly cheese steak in my opinion, if you don't like sweet, maybe light on the sauce for you. To get that real feel for me I get extra cheese, and sometimes extra sauce ( I'm a saucy person ). They occasionally change the kind of fries on the side, I taste a hint of paprika that makes it better of course. My mom loves her fried fish sandwich, we get the same thing every time. Small location, so unfortunately not all the time we get to order from here I'm sure they be loaded with orders all day, the food is that good . I tried the chicken Philly, it was decent, I prefer the Philly cheesesteak any day though . Overall experience 12/10 :) read more

Stopped by to grab some seafood and was very pleased. I got the crab cake with shrimp platter and that thing was a mouth explosion. The shrimp was/is probably prawn sized, or at least tiger shrimp because they were huge. This make Popeye's butterfly shrimp look like a shrivel balloon. Crab cake had no fillers so all you get is shredded up lumps of crab. The fries are seasoned well and that sauce they give out is very flavorful. I also had the fish and that was delish as well. Definitely a keeper and a must come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Best chicken cheesesteak I have ever had. Weekly date night and we are on a path of trying new restaurants! So quite a few cars outside waiting, so that was a good sign. We went right in and ordered. The menu has many choices, but not too crazy that it is hard to decided. No room to wait inside, so we did wait in our car until she waved us back in. I went with the chicken cheesesteak and my SO got the platter with fish, crab cake, and shrimp...of course we couldn't wait to taste! All of it was delicious and we enjoyed the fries as well. Do yourself a favor and ask for extra cheese on the cheesesteak! read more

Predominately this is a seafood place but you can find other options. Still as I wrote this is mainly a seafood place and they serve up some tasty bites at very good prices and the amount is more than filling. Still after saying that they mainly serve seafood I will be one of those people that will make you mad because I still find myself looking at the menu. Then I order the same thing. I talk about parking because I know there are places that I want to go to but parking is ridiculous. The thing about where this place is located is that parking is tight and limited. Pulling in can be a bit tricky and takes some maneuvering but once in it is a seafood dream. They have poboys to regular fish sandwiches and of course seafood platters. Not sure what type of fish it is at times in many places but hey thanks for serving it up right. Some very simple meals but when done right they hit the spot. The key is that this place does it right. All the food is cooked as ordered and it is not much of a wait. If you want to eat in the place you probably could but it is a grab and go operation. Plenty of seating and I am sure that if you wanted to eat in there they would not have an issue but don't point at your Yelp app on the phone saying Shawn said that you can eat there. On my multiple trips there people were always ordering for others and I know this because I can hear them talking on their phone like it's a pizza slice for all to hear. I don't mind because when I hear someone ask for a certain meal I look and think I need to try that from all the excitement coming across that phone. For real this is a spot you need to checkout as it is leaps and bounds above some of these big nationwide fast food chains in service, quality and taste. Prices are surprisingly respectable. I admit I was thinking how is he charging this price for all this food when compared to other similar places. Highly recommend this spot to checkout or bookmark for a future visit. read more

I found this restaurant through a random yelp search while travelling South. I had to try it for the name alone. My Dad's name is Skip and therefore... why not?! I am so glad that I gave this spot a shot! I ordered the crab cake, shrimp and fish platter. The food was fried perfectly. Crispy, not too oily, flavor in the breading and the seafood (a touch of salt goes a long way). The customer service wasn't the best or the worse. I get COVID has everyone a bit freaked out and standoffish but a smile, a hello, a "glass of water while you wait ma'am" goes a long way. Especially when I was the only person in the restaurant on what appeared to be a super slow day. Maybe they were having an off day? There were three people that day behind the counter and the air was very thick when I walked in. Either way, the food was excellent and everyone has a bad day or two or three. So if you are travelling through/pass VA, check Skip's out. There are at least 2 locations. It is quite worth the detour! I look forward to checking Skip's out again the next time I pass through VA -- Always happy to support Black Owned/Minority Owned/Women Own/Small businesses (weirdly in that order. sorry not sorry.). read more

I enjoyed my food from Chef Skip 757 but a few things threw me for a loop. When I pulled up to the location, an individual stepped out who was not wearing a mask and she works there. In addition, when food handling is taking place you should be dressed in a manner to prevent body hair, deodorant and any other debris from entering the food. Located in a small area that hosts other businesses, the parking lot supports parking in front or nearby. This is not an establishment that supports dine in based on how they are set up. You enter, order, wait, clothes absorb the smell of fry oil and your order comes out. I strongly suggest ordering ahead to limit your wait and less chance of your clothes/hair mimicking the smell of food cooling. When buying seafood, the price can be higher but unless you inquire, the menu only says "Fish and shrimp, chicken etc" The type of fish I received was Swai (part of the catfish family of fish but not as expensive). I think it would serve customers to know what is being served since "Fish Fraud" is a thing. The portion was respectable and the seasoning of the food was enjoyable. Not a terribly long wait for my order. The interior appeared really clean but the ventilation was not the best. You can't see into the place because the windows are covered and it's not easy to see out if you're inside either. The interior has only so much room that only 2-3 people can be inside while ordering if you intend on establishing some social distance. There is a food truck and a location in Portsmouth as this one serves the Lynnhaven area. Not floored by the food or experience so undetermined if I'd dine here again. Capable of contactless pay, credit cards and cash for payment options. An overall 3.75 review read more

Bomb af!! Got this delivered from doordash and food arrived fresh and hot. My only complaint is there were no condiments provided so make sure to ask for ketchup, ranch, etc. one of the best Phillys I've had. Wings were cooked to a crisp and the fries were also good! Must try! Oh and the amount of food for the price is the biggest win! read more

I used to see Chef Skip's food truck in random places around town years ago before he even had his restaurants. But every time I seen it, I had already ate so I never tried him out. But on this particular day, I made it a point to go check him out at his restaurant. It was a Saturday afternoon during COVID, so I wanted to make sure he was even open. I called to the restaurant for about an hour or so, and no pick up. But my gut was telling me he was open so I took a chance and headed out. I saw other people hanging around in the front of the restaurant when I pulled up. So I made my husband go see if they were open and to place our To Go order. He came back and said our food will be ready in about 30 minutes! Ok now I see why everyone was hanging around outside..ugh!! We finally got our food and went to the park to have lunch (seems to be our new thing now). I got the Philly Chicken Sandwich with Fries and the hubs got the fried fish, shrimp and fries. My sandwich was good, seasoned well but too salty as well as the fish and shrimp. My bread was soft and had plenty of meat and onions. It was too much Cheese but that's just me. Next time I will ask them to add green peppers. Hubs fish and shrimp was crispy and seasoned well too. Overall our lunch was good. Definitely will be trying him out again. Thank you for reading! Stay safe and wear a mask! read more

Amazing place to eat. Prices are great. Good is AMAZING! Small spot with great atmosphere. Service is prompt great to call or order ahead.

I ordered through UberEats. These fish tacos are TO DIE FOR! So delicious!! The fries were good as well. The sauce on the tacos is very tasty! It's actually quite a large portion of food! I couldn't finish it so I saved the leftovers for the next day. 10/10 recommend! I'll definitely be visiting in person and trying a different dish as well! #HappyCustomer (: read more

I came here a couple years ago but didn't get to experience the food since the poor customer service had me walking out. It was Friday evening and I decided to get some fried fish and after debating on a few places I thought to give this place another try. I called in my order and the lady who answered the phone was super friendly. She said it'd be ready in about 10 minutes. Perfect! I was expecting to wait longer than that but as soon as I came in, my order was nearly ready. She even opened up my takeout box to ensure that everything looked okay, and it did!! The food was pretty good with the exception of it being overly salted. It was a nice sized portion and I was able to save half for lunch the next day! Oh and that Chef Skip Sauce: amazing!! read more

First time trying them because I was craving some fried shrimp and fish. I had the $18 fish, shrimp and crab cake combo which came with fries and some sort of house sauce. The fries were absolutely delicious because they were perfectly seasoned, the shrimp were the jumbo ones and they only give you like 4 buttt they were the only thing besides the fries that was seasoned. The only issue I had with the shrimp was the fact that they were very tough. The fish wasn't good to me, if I have to add salt to fried fish than it's no bueno. The crab cake was , I'm from Maryland and I was not happy with it at all. Too much batter not enough crab for $18. Other than that, the customer service was outstanding. read more

First time getting food there on Saturday. It was brought home to me, so I can't comment on how the restaurant looked or the service. I can only tell you that the food was delicious. I had shrimp and fish with fries. I am so glad that he is opening a new location in Portsmouth (4210 Portsmouth Blvd.) because it is closer. I am definitely going to be there often. **Update: I've been to both locations THREE times within a week of my initially trying them. The food is addictive. Lord help me. :) read more

Friday evening and not in the mood to cook. Pescatarian so finding food options can be limited at times. Searched Yelp for seafood restaurants in the area. Chef Skip 757?! Hmm, what exactly is this? Googled it and it sounded like it was a food truck. Gave them a call and all my questions were answered. Placed order online. Extremely easy process and was able to customize my order. Pulled up to the location and realized how close this place is near to me and yet I've never noticed it. Only 3 customer allowed inside at a time (perfect for COVID). Staff were wearing masks. Tape on floor to allow for appropriate spacing. Restaurant was clean and the staff were professional. Nice open area on which you can see them prepare your food. Ordered crab cake sandwich, side of clams and Philly cheesesteak. Presentation was great. Food was still hot when we pulled over to eat. Crab cake was full of crab (not a lot of filler like some places). Fries were okay. Clam strips ($7.00 in small container) were decent. My gf states the Philly cheesesteak was good but salty. She added sweet peppers but wished she would've asked for hot peppers as her sandwich could use a little "kick" to it. The sauce is sweet which balances out the saltiness. Will ask for light salt on our next orders. We both agreed we would return and try one of the many other items they have on their menu. Glad we decided to try this local spot in VA Beach. read more

I experienced this good truck at the Bam Bam Spring 2018 at Norfolk Scope this past Saturday. I ordered the meal that consisted of: SWAI fried fish, fried crab cake and fries. This deal came up to $14. I was hungry a little and didn't mind trying something new. The reviews were pretty good, so I figured let me see what he's all about. Well... I am definitely not with the majority on this one. Upon ordering I asked if the food was fried, hoping for broiled. I also asked about the fish, SWAI was confirmed and one last question, what oil is the food fried in... salad oil. I hadn't heard of 'salad oil' before... but I was gamed. I so wish I stuck with my first instinct. Because this truck was new to me, I figured something simple... fish and fries or shrimp and fries... but noooooooooo I had to be greedy and needy and ordered fish, crab cake and fries. In my mind I didn't need a crab cake. But it's hard to find a great meaty crab cake so I was feeling adventurous and spontaneous this past Saturday. The crab cake ... it tasted nothing like a crab cake. I ate maybe two bites and was turned off. I am not sure if it was the oil or the crab cake itself. I was super disappointed. The SWAI fish, I love SWAI so I was thoroughly pleased with the fish. Again the oil gave it a different taste though. I just think I am not a fan of 'salad oil' I love cocktail sauce with my seafood especially a homemade sauce, but this truck did not have any... only a homemade orange in color type sauce... it contained mayonnaise, I didn't even bother to try it. Luckily they had hot sauce - yes! The service was fast, the food was fresh and the presentation I loved it! Would I recommend this truck... um... based on what I had, I'd say try it out for yourself. I am a picky eater and I know how amazing food can taste. Therefore, my opinion may not be that of the majority. But if you are feeling up for it give them a try. Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

Experienced the bliss of Chef Skip's fried food truck offerings at pub trivia 2 weeks in a row. $14 for a crab cake, fish and fries combo that actually fed 2 adults on week 1. Other than white fish, I don't know what specific variety it was but it wasn't fishy, was seasoned splendidly and fried with the right amount of cheat meal grease. The crab cake was my wife's least favorite of the trio; round like a plump hushpuppy but composed of mostly breading. Fries were seasoned with old bay and had just the right texture; crisp composition so if you hold it up, it doesn't droop or sag over on itself...but not brick-like a la week old baguette. One of the heroes of the meal was the orange sauce that my wife described as "I don't know what kind of sauce it is, other than orange, is but it's good." Week 2 saw Swai Fish tacos that, despite never hearing of that kind of white fish, were very good; 2 for $9, edible flower included. Had a great convo with the owner's brother, Byron, who was holding down truck service because Chris Skipper "went brick and mortar in VB." Also learned Byron is following suit with a Chef Skip store in Portsmouth! Keep on cooking and creating Chef Skip! read more

Very good food. Not over seasoned. Great presentation as well. The front has waaaaaay to many signs to communicate expectations, I recommend printing one large document stating requirements because it's overwhelming. Staff was quick in taking and completing orders. The chicken Philly comes on an amazingly toasted buttered/oiled and soft bread that did not harden when reheated. read more
