It was OK. I cannot recall the name of this restaurant, but I do remember my husband and I dined at this location last February, but it must have been under a new name. IDK, but we dined here with friends for NYE. I believe this spot is usually closed on Tuesdays, but opened the past two Tuesdays because of the holidays, I suppose. Nevertheless, I called about 5 days prior to Tuesday and secured a reservation for 6. We arrived at the time and were seated immediately. Our waitress, Alana (spelling) was attentive and super sweet. Overall, the guests were pleased with their meals. All except me :( I ordered the fish of the day, salmon over pasta. The salmon was severely under cooked. I returned it. They prepared the dish again, this time, scales were still on the bottom of my fish. Crazy :( I opted to not eat anything. So this night was a liquid dinner. I ordered a fresh margarita with my choice of tequila. Three margaritas later - it wasn't food, but the bartender was on point! And I was full of those drinks and a few celery stalks from my husband's wing app. I would definitely return and sit and bar. This explained why the bar was so packed all night. The drinks were bomb :) Parking, I only saw street parking. Not sure if other parking is available, but this was like our fifth time visiting this area of Hampton and parking has never been an issue. Check them out at your own risk. Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

Cibus Chophouse in Phoebus is upscale dining. All meals are cooked on a grill and fired to perfection. The menu selection is not wrong; several selections are served daily. Your server will offer you the specials of the day. When I went, they had wagi steak for $114 a plate, I believe. There is one t door seating in the back. The restaurant is slim, so there is bench seating and chair seating. Full bar available with a variety of drinks. I recommend the smoked Ole Fashion; you can thank me later. Service is top tier. They check on you, give recommendations and house favorites, and tell you the day's special. I enjoyed this place. Great for date night but probably not the best for groups over 10. Call ahead if you have a large group. Speaking of calling ahead, you can make reservations at the Open Table app. I hope you give them a try; we will. Happy Yelping! read more

The brunch buffet here was a pleasant surprise. I was thrilled to eat shrimp cocktail and crab legs! The service was immaculate, and don't forget to try out their drinks. I can't wait to go back. read more

I visited this place before it changed names and really enjoyed the food. The lamb chops were excellent, and the staff was friendly. I also liked the ambiance and decor. The only thing that bothered me was that, although the restaurant was empty when we arrived, the hostess still asked if we had a reservation, and we ended up having to sit outside. I'm not a fan of outdoor seating. I assume they were expecting a lot of reservations, but this could be off-putting to newcomers when the place appears empty. So, seating here is limited. That said, I would definitely come back--just with a reservation next time, because the food was fantastic. read more

This was a complex review for a party of 7 because we all had mixed opinions. The one thing we all agreed upon was the ribeye steak is overpriced. The ribeye is priced at $47, and no side dish is included. Very disappointing. For the price, I was expecting a bone in ribeye. The size was more consistent with breakfast boneless ribeye. The mac and cheese is not for me. I think it was a bread crumble with green onions on top for $9. Not my favorite. The prime rib sandwich was flavorful. The burgers were okay. So, to sum it up, this is not somewhere we would be running to return to, but I do say give it a try! Oh, the service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. read more

The food was fire and the chef came out to meet my family and I. I will definitely come back to enjoy the other half of the menu. The staff doesn't play when it comes to hospitality and service and that I absolutely loved. The ambiance was very classy/ steakhouse yet whatever type of vibe you and your guest prefer. We did order quite a bit so take a look at my photos and enjoy and tell em that the girls from Cali sent you lol enjoy read more

Was super excited to try Cibus after the old Drexler's closed. I called last week and was told reservations were not required. So today while in Phoebus we walked in & were asked if we had a reservation. The restaurant had one table sat... & we were told that we couldn't do a walk in. I asked if I could make a reservation for later and the hostess completely blanked... so we just walked out. After taking a pic of the outside of the building the hostess came out and said we could have a seat. We decided to take our business elsewhere. Bummed is an understatement. Best of luck to Cibus. read more

Came here for a birthday party. Luckily they weren't busy we were a party of 10. The server was nice but was a little slow. Half of the table got burgers and they were HUGE and looked really good. We also got crispy shrimp as an app, beet and feta salad which was incredible but the soup was salty and not very good. I would definitely come back to try the burger! read more

I'm in the area on business and apparently I made the right decision when I came to the Cibus Chophouse. It was previously some place named Drexlers, well my friends, there are new Sheriffs in town. I am in love with this place. I walked in and immediately figured out that this was going to be a great experience. The restaurant is nestled in an adorable area. The interior is tastefully decorated. I sat at the bar and was assisted by a very attentive bartender named Troy. The grill area is right smack in the middle of the restaurant. I love love love watching a skilled chef at work. This place is CLEAN. I ordered a signature smoked ole fashion and I was not disappointed. In fact, I had 2! I ordered the spicy grilled chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Can I just tell you that the chicken was absolutely perfect! What ever y'all are doing keep it up! If I lived closer I would be paying the rent here! Mmmmmsk™ I wish I was here longer, y'all got it right! Thanks for a great experience! read more

The three of us dine out regularly. We loved Drexler's and were looking forward to our first visit to Cibus. Such a disappointment. Limited menu options. The waiter didn't know the menu or items. We needed help. My 92 year young friend was very specific about wanting a rare and juicy burger - she got an overcooked smash burger without her fries. They took it back and her next burger was great. She requested grilled onions and was told no. Only raw. Sadly, the food came out in dribs and drabs. First, only my brussel sprouts. Then my shrimp. Nothing for my friends. Then the fried chicken (not seasoned properly) with no fries. A very long wait for the 2nd burger and still no fries . It was very unpleasant and disappointing. The manager Phoebe came out but didn't seem to understand it's normal practice to serve the table. Still no truffle fries . When they did come, they were very good. Then the icing on the cake- each of the bills were incorrect. The menu prices didn't match what's in the computer- $9 wine showed $10. Fries are listed as $7 with a $1 up charge for the truffle parm. Bill reflected $9! I didn't take it out on the waiter's tip but my older friend was very upset and will never return. After being open for 2 months, a better experience was expected for a Sunday dinner service. It wasn't crowded. The place was cute with the community art wall but the food didn't hold a candle to Drexler's. So sad. I wish them luck. read more

Relatively new spot in Hampton. Has a nice vibe!! Seating is kind of close so if you don't like neighbors, they do have outside patio dining. You can watch as they prepare the meals. Everyone we encountered was friendly. We had no problems getting a table, we did make a reservation but we were about 30 minutes early. I would recommend the regular meal service. They do have a buffet on the weekends that needs a bit more work. Things like slowly replenishing the bar and wait time for seating. I think once all the kinks are figured out, it's going to be one of our weekly spots. Though we don't drink alcohol, those around us seemed to have really enjoyed them ! read more

The decor is awesome. All local artists and they will be starting a kids section for art soon. The food was incredible. Burger was juicy and the fries are crunchy. They do have a waiting area because it gets busy! We made a reservation and didn't have to wait long. My drink was good but I tasted zero liquor and I ordered vodka lemonade. The service was awful, well our waitress. She was nice at first and then would disappear. So much so that we had to ask other servers for the sauces we ordered, boxes to go and straws. It took about an hour to get our food, it was delicious but I wish they offered some bread or something while you are at your table. I believe it was the manager that stopped by and asked how it was and apologized for the wait. I rate a 3/5 because of the neglect of our server ( but others were great!) also for the long wait for food without any update or checking in if we needed more drinks. We will go back. The food is worth it but for almost $80 for two burger meals ( which she never asked what drink we wanted with the combo and we only had water until we ordered from the bar) I was hoping for a little bit more attentiveness. read more

Nicely decorated, cozy, lovely place .. Attentive, caring staff .. Delicious food .. My companion said "the burger was the BEST he has ever had. Tasty and tender as butter!" So glad Cibus is in Phoebus! Hampton is lacking so terribly in quality restaurants, but thank goodness Cibus chose their Phoebus location! read more

Great little spot - the floors are super slippery so becareful! There was a long wait to be attended to (more than 25mins after being seated), the food took quite a while and drinks could have been better. The food was well seasoned though. I am hoping they'll optimize as time goes by. Online the restaurant presents itself as more formal than it actually is - in person. Would give it another chance. read more

We visited Cibus for dinner service on Sunday, visiting from out of town. Easy to find. Parking is street based and could be challenging, but we found a spot straightaway. Walking and biking options good. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly in a cozy patio area, and our server was with us straightaway. The atmosphere was relaxed, and informal, but don't let that distract you from the food available. Our server knew the tap list, dinner menu, and details about each forward and backward. My wife had the half chicken, son ordered the meatball hoagie and I went all in for the 18oz ribeye. Food was served promptly, hot and ready to go, nothing had been sitting under a heat lamp. Steak was cooked and seasoned near perfection. Just enough, but not too much on salt and extra flavor. A seared portobello cap and ready-to-melt onion accompanied the ribeye, which was a properly fatty, flavorful selection. Service checked back frequently. Community seating allowed conversation with neighboring patrons. This was an excellent dining experience. What a gem for Hampton. read more

I liked the place. The food was great, and the service was good. The owner was there at the bar to great you and ask how your experience was. Had a good quiet, intimate atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like was that the meals are al a carte and you have to order everything separately and there's only 1 menu all day. Other than that it was a pretty good experience and I'll definitely be back read more

This was our first time visiting and we would definitely return. I ordered the Diablo Wings, brussel sprouts, and crispy pork sandwich. My friend had the fish of the day, Salmon, with a beet/kale salad, and the macaroni and cheese. Fortunately we had reservations so we did not have to wait, because it is a smaller place. Everything on the menu is a la carte, so you build your own meal essentially. I think the prices were appropriate. The manager made sure to check in on us. The sides are large enough to share, so that's good. read more

It's our yearly buckroe vacation trip and my husband and I had date night here on Monday. The ambiance was really nice and the staff were extremely friendly. The food was also delicious! Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I'm not 100% sure the wagyu was really wagyu because it didn't have much marbling at all and was slightly overcooked since it came out in a cast iron plate. Also the Brussels sprouts were a bit too tangy for my liking since it had both lemon juice and balsamic on top. However everything else made up for it and we'll be back! read more

Cibus Chophouse - Thick Burgers, and smashed burger, Fries, Garlic parm wings and Korean wings with fries - American Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

15 Nov 24. Had reservations for a party of 6 at 630. 4 of 6 arrived at 615-630, ordered drinks waiting on other 2 to arrive. Drinks for the 4, 2 wines, a water and mixed drink didn't arrive until 650 right as the other 2 arrived. We ordered our meals at 715, 4 smash burgers: 3 with fries 1 with up charge of Brussel sprouts,1 ribeye with Mac & cheese and Brussels. We were informed 40 minutes after placing order that they had ran out of Brussel sprouts. Changes were truffle fries and kale. They eventually brought out the steak, which had to be the thinnest ribeye ever cut. I changed from my original order (Cibus Burger) to the ribeye due to seeing the group at the table beside me receive 4 beautifully cut steaks. 2 of the 4 burgers were brought to the table, one order of fries that were not the truffle fries ordered. 10 minutes later the other 2 burgers came out, with the sides of undercooked kale (Brussel sprouts switch) and over cooked Mac & Cheese. Rest of fries did not come out until those who ordered them were done with burgers. They were not crowded yet had a full staff of both wait and kitchen yet were as slow as if the restaurant was full. The bartender is even worse. She is continually serving drinks with gloves on and touching everything from the bar to the kitchen and food prep area without changing gloves. Even though the last time in I brought this to the attention of the manager. And very, very slow. It should not take 10 minutes to get a bourbon neat. The manager has no clue, the head chef could not work at a fast-food restaurant and the wait staff suffers due to the incompetence of the previous 2 people mentioned. This is our second time giving this restaurant a chance and OUR LAST!!!! And am truly embarrassed that I recommended going here with my party who were visiting from out of town. As much as I want to see this restaurant succeed, Cibus will and should fail. But with the demographics due to the location and the thinking by people going there and thinking they are receiving upscale food will keep it hanging on!!! read more

Came to dinner for a sister's night and had an awesome experience! The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and Justin the chef went above and beyond to accommodate for a delay in our food coming out. Will definitely come again! read more

Hands down, a top 5 best place to come and get a great steak on the peninsula! I highlight the steak because it has so much flavor, but the steak sauce that they give takes it to the next level. Next, the service is very inviting and everyone treats you as if you're a regular customer. The atmosphere of the restaurant is dim lit and perfect for a date night. Finally, but most important, the prices are VERY reasonable for the type of food that they serve. read more

I've been here 2 times and can honestly say this place isn't as good as it looks. Which is disappointing since it's such a cute place. My friends surprised for my birthday and took me here, I honestly did not like the service. I ordered a drink and they forgot to bring it, we asked for straws and they forgot, we ordered multiple of a specific appetizer and they only brought out one because they didn't put in multiple. The food was not that good, my friend and I both ordered the lamb chops, we were stole it comes with couscous we asked if it can be replaced with mashed potatoes and was told no. Minutes later waiter comes back and says they are all out of couscous and mashed potatoes would be the replacement. It worked in our favor but I found it strange. The food took a long time to get to us and after all that our potatoes were cold and the lamb was overcooked and lacked flavor. After we ate my friends sung me Happy Birthday, the waiter comes up and tells me "we close at 10:00, I know we all want to live our lives but.." and pointed at the check. I was honestly annoyed because it was 10:05. She had not came back asking if we would like the check and we had just finished eating. It was a party of 5 and we did split checks, gratuity was included in each one. Anyways would not recommend, it's always unorganized service and food was the same both times I went lack of flavor on the meat, overcooked and took forever. And for the price?!!! No thanks read more

Food was bland...like it wasn't seasoned. The half chicken I ordered was dry. The service was outstanding. Checked on is quite frequently. The atmosphere was great. Although the floor were nice and clean, they were very slippery. So be careful walking. Will not return. read more

This was the second time that we've been to this establishment and this was the second disappointment. My friend order a steak and it had no flavor. She said she had better at Applebees.

Today we decided to try this place .... The service was excellent but the food was not we got up made 1 plate each (it was 4 of us) I tasted 1 potato and a fork of salmon.. immediately said this is not good, it was cold and not tasty. Everyone at the table , then tasted their food ... they all gave the same response. I went and talk to the owner... to let her no that we decided not to eat and the reason why ... I also told her it was nets flying around the food and in the salad... she said she would fix that problem and still charged me 172.00 even though we didn't eat! read more

Cibus has an amazing dining room and fantastic patio. I enjoyed my dinner here once again; this time I had the nightly fish special which was a fantastic salmon dish. The flavors here are well developed, no matter what you get. The bartender, Roy, is incredibly knowledgeable and never ceases to impress. I've been here before and I'll be back again soon! read more

I don't know why it took me this long to try this place out. As soon as you walk through the door you'll know it's gonna be a great experience. Food was amazing, ordered the Ribeye and Brussels sprout for side and both were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere in this place is also commendable as the staff were very welcoming. Will definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family!! read more

i went with my boyfriend while on vacation, i had no idea it was a new restaurant to the area! we were greeted right away at the front door, sat right away no wait on a monday at dinner time which was surprising! My boyfriend ordered the lamb, he was super impressed with the entire meal. it came on-top of a ti ziki sauce that complemented the lamb so well. it was also cooked perfectly. it was overwhelming how great it was. i'm not even kidding. the owner, i believe, came over to the table to thank us for being there & to make sure everything was perfect. he was very kind & seemed to really care about his customers opinions! the experience over all was great & i would highly recommend checking this place out if your in Hampton! & i can't forget our waiter who was incredibly kind and informative he told us multiple places to visit while on our vacation here, also recommend what was good on the menu! 10/10 recommend. this place really seems ahead of the area! read more
