Good food and nice staff, however since the change in ownership, the place is very different. The menu is much smaller now and -sometimes- the place is very loud with music. It's much more of a club now than a restaurant, but it's still a very nice place. read more

Love what the new owners & managers have done!! Food is soooooooo much better than before.

New management has made it a solid 10!. A good cleaning and Painting inside, Better use of the eating area. The menu has changed, but everything we tried was well done, and tasty. I had the Fish Fry with cole Slaw and fries, and my partner had the blackened tuna with red potatoes and a side salad. It was all very good. Our server Tanner, was excelent without being overbearing.He engaged us several time and answered any questions we had. We are glad this place reopened and with the new owners, we'll definitly be back read more

We were a little nervous because the place was so empty. After playing at buckroe beach all day, we wanted some seafood that was better than just plain fried. We tried the crab dip appetizer which was very good, the buckroe shrimp appetizer, which was incredible! BUT we made the shrimp into a taco and added lime creama and it was outstanding! The Mac and cheese was even better than most people's. We enjoyed everything we tried and really hope this place gets more business! It is better than your average food. The habanero mango sauce is special and worth coming for! My son got the classic fish and chips and really liked it. The cod was fresh in it and in the tacos(that my mother tried) and was cooked well. It wasn t overly greasy. The tiki tacos were good and fresh, just add the lime crema for more flavor. The prices were between 9.50-$16 for our meals. read more

Nothing positively memorable about the menu, food, service, or venue given the $50+ tab. Tried it once, not likely to return.

This place shouldn't have opened back up. Not impressed . Don't waste your time. Worse than before.

We are so happy for the new owners. The menu was great and diverse from burgers to fish . We had the specials and soups .... all home made . Local fish and support of local fish markets is great . The staff are friendly and very welcoming. Welcome to Buckroe !! read more

I rated this 5 stars so more people would try this place because it's a great stop after the beach at Buckroe, a regular hangout spot or great for lunch and dinner. I've had the fish sandwich, steak, oysters Rockefeller, fried oysters, tuna bites, truffle fries, loaded fries, big Daddy Mac burger and BBQ sandwich and all were delicious with perfect portions! The margarita was good too ;) I highly recommend to come hang out and enjoy the fresh seafood and other menu items. Can't wait to try them all since it's so close! read more

This was our third visit to this place hoping that it would improve with time since it just opened. Each time we had issues. The first visit it took forever for the food to come out and there was only one other table there. The first time we ordered wings that were fried to a crisp and tiny. The second visit my sister never got her food because they gave it to another table. The third visit I ordered the fish tacos. The mahi was full of bones and extremely fishy tasting. Again took forever for us to get our food and my husband was done with his food before mine finally arrived. We noticed several tables with issues related to their food. The kitchen needs some serious focus and organization. They are down to one beer on tap now. I think it was Bud Light or something like that. read more

Food good wait time for food 1 hour and 30 minutes unbelievable too weak from hunger to leave!!! May be back but not anytime soon needs kitchen to come up to speed !!!! read more

We went here today to have a nice lunch and a cold drink. Well we waited and waited and waited and no one acknowledged us that worked their. So we sat down and waited and waited some more. STILL NO SERVICE. There was all kinds of people walking around with T-shirt's on saying coasters beach grill but no one stopped to ask if we have been waited on. No one asked if we were ready. Can promise I wouldn't go back there period if I come back to this area on vacation again. read more

Glad to see that it was open again. Nice local spot to chill at. We ordered nachos and tuna bites for an appetizer. Very tasty. Would definitely order again. Entree was a burger and fish and chips. Burger was cooked perfectly and juicy. The fish and chips were good. Service was really good. Only one waitress working but the bartender and someone else pitched in to make sure that we had drinks and food when we needed it. We will be going back again soon. read more

Well we wanted to try a new place at the beach. Honestly so disappointed. The shrimp tasted terrible. The meat was bad it smelled terrible. Would never eat here again. read more

First time visit last night, since this place (Brass Lantern) reopened as Coasters. Dinner was great, steak cheese w/peppers over fries. What a novel idea, good steak, tasty cheese and of course the green pepper. My son-in-law Randy ordered a burger/crab cake combo, said it was cooked perfect. He also said the Clams Casino needed a little work, but I don't know, all I saw left on the plate were six empty clam half shells. So I'm guessing they were really okay...The place was busy, but not over crowded, everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and drinks. The service was spot-on, very attentive and courteous' servers. By the way, did I mention the draft beer was ice cold. Will definitely visit this new place often. read more

I had a late lunch there today and it was great! I ordered the seafood tacos - mix of fish and shrimp both fried, sides of greens and slaw plus truffle fries. The truffle fries were great but the highlight was the tacos. The service was attentive and the owner even looked after me. read more

Best homemade sweet potato pie HANDS-DOWN! Music selection was pretty good. Nacho fun fries were good, was unsure of the amount of onions used but I'm not a fan of onions-red and raw or cooked. read more

The menu is very limited and when I ordered the Taco salad they said they had run out of lettuce. So you couldn't even make a burger? That seems a little weird. I could tell the food I ordered had been sitting for awhile and by husband got pulled pork but it was more like chunks of meat. Mac and cheese was good though! And so was the sweet tea. read more

I ordered the shrimp basket and it was pretty good. It says this place is closed but once I called them directly I discovered that they were opened. Don't get turned away about them being closed based on google maps on iPhones or Yelp information. It is not accurate. I am looking forward to going back and trying their other items on the menu. read more

The Bartenders Billie Rae are AMAZING....Cater to your every need!! FELT like Family only BETTER !!

The bartender Billy is AMAZING! His service and knowledge makes your experience worth while, the other bartenders......uhhhhh not so much

We weren't really expecting food to be great - as we figured it was just basic fried food and so-so. We had the cheesesteak Sandwich and the pulled pork with home made fries. It was so good!! Flavor was great - Smokey pulled pork not too sweet and the fries were the best fries I've had in a long long time. They cut the potatoes and do it in house. The drink special was good - $5.00 and refreshing! Ashley our server was great too. The owner said hello and asked us how our food was and said something about a "secret ingredient" in the fries. We will be going back! :) read more

DO NOT GET THE NOVELTY DRINKS!! false advertising saying you can take the cups home picturing a giant tiki cup, but all you get is a plastic cup filled for $8.50! When I brought this up all I got was a rude response. Food was subpar and the Mac and cheese had absolutely no flavor. The "waitress" forgot 3 of our sides and didn't take off any money. When we asked about this she said she couldn't do anything about it. I then asked for her manager, which is when she magically was able to give us a discount. All in all, bad service, bad food and bad experience. read more

Amazing food and Great Service so glad we have a great place at the beach again good job guys!!!

My boyfriend and I just left Coasters very disappointed. We sat at the bar for over 10 minutes while the bartender walked past us several times without even acknowledging that we were sitting at her bar. Way to lose a $10 tip and a $50 sale. One less local place to eat in Hampton. read more

Love the new management! I ordered the raw oysters as an appetizer and they were fantastic! I had the scallop Gallup for dinner- the scallops were grilled to perfection and the mixed veggies were so tasty! My friend had the crabby patty with french fries and it was really good too, the hand cut fries are amazing. Good sweet tea and orange crushes too! The manager Loreli was super friendly and gave us great service. We will definitely be back! read more

I'm giving 3 stars because of the custom drink the bartender made me. I have a HUGE pet peeve with a bar that doesn't have a drink menu. I don't care if you only do 2 signature cocktails, you should have a menu. There were only two beers on tap (Michelob Ultra and Vienna Lager). Beers by the bottle were displayed behind the bar but again no drink menu. My suggestion is that the management focus less on the skimpy logo tank tops the servers wore and more on the food execution and a drink menu. Good marketing would be the Coaster Cooler and Buckroe Blast - add some rum or vodka with a flavor and boom your drink menu writes itself. The fries we had were lackluster - loaded fries consisted of cheese and strips of bacon. Sour cream dipping sauce felt odd with it. The fries were mushy and not salted. Just not a great spot. I know it's close to the beach and it has potential but it has too many errors to be more than a 2 Star place. read more

The owners of this place are AMAZING!!!! my girlfriends and I were in Hampton visiting and wanted to stop by here, I didnt realize they didnt open until later then, since just opening the doors a few weeks ago, however we walked up to the doors and the owner welcomes us in with open arms, serves us some drinks and a delicious lunch, 2 hours before they were suppose to open!!!!! We had the burger and crab dip and both were amaxing and the staff and service was great!!! I highly recommend!!! read more

Great food and service!! My wife is very picky with her food and the fried seafood platter put a big smile on her face .. she ordered hush puppies to go read more

Went early evening on a Friday. Minimal parking. Atmosphere was casual. The seats in dining area near the bar has no backs and were very hard and uncomfortable. Nowhere to put my purse so had to hold it the entire visit making it difficult to eat a meal that required both hands (I recommend putting hooks on the tables). The food was average and the mixed tropical drink was weak so not worth the price. We will likely try it one more time. read more

** Updated Review November 10, 2018 ** Gave Coasters a second chance... Let me start by saying it was a much better experience from our visit back in July and I boosted the star rating up from two to four. Went with some friends for dinner on a Friday night. We arrived around 6:20'ish and sat at one larger tables in the bar area (all tables were full in the bar area, but there weren't very many people in the main dining area). We all got something different and everyone seemed satisfied with their meals. Started with the fried mushrooms... which very good, tasted like fresh mushrooms and not frozen. One friend got the nachos for his meal and it was enough to feed an army... was layered with meat and fix'ns (nice touch with the fresh cut jalapeños). Another got the club sandwich which was triple stacked and had all the right meats. Another got the shrimp po-boy... she said it was terrific and had plenty of shrimp. Another got the fish tacos... there were three in the order and was more than enough. I got the Southwest burger and it was incredible. Much better than the burger I got in July... it was well prepared and professionally presented. And it tasted amazing. The wait time for the meal wasn't too bad (however, I did wonder if the main dining area was full what it would have been like, but tonight, it was good). After our meal I made sure to find the owner and let him know how much better our experience was this time and gave kudos to our server (Sarah). Review from July 20, 2018 (two stars) I so wanted our first time to Coasters to be a good experience... sadly it wasn't. I had heard from friends that visited Coasters soon after they opened and said the wait times for food was longer than you would expect, but was encouraged by a good report from our neighbors who ate there last week. We went on a Thursday night and got there around 6:30'ish. Really nice atmosphere and cleaver decorations... incorporating the seaside theme and link to the past with the old Buckroe amusement park. There was a good crowd, which was encouraging for a new business. We were seated at the only open table and my spidy-sense told me something wasn't right when I looked around and no one had any food on their table... either we all got there about the same time or the kitchen was backed up (more about that later). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, which was okay, but nothing spectacular. It came to the table in the time you would expect as an appetizer. Was only rings (which is fine, but I was hoping for some of the small tentacles) and they were nice sized and meatier than others I've had... Served with marinara. I thought the order was a little small for $9.95 and there were no lemons served with it (I would have liked maybe a peppercorn aioli or spicy sauce for dipping). For our entrees, my daughter and boyfriend ordered the Low Country Boil, which was enough for both of them and they said it was good. They also got side salads (which we had to ask for after the waitress came by the first time to tell us the kitchen was backed up and our order was on the way). Salad only had rough cut head / iceberg lettuce (so some of the leafs were big and chunky), no other type of lettuce (which I knew they had since the burger I ordered had a huge leaf on it). Normal dressing choices, but no balsamic vinaigrette or oil/vinegar. My wife ordered the Buckroe Cheese Steak and I ordered the Big Donny Burger. The steak on the cheese steak wasn't shaved like you would expect on the regular cheese steak, but the manager / owner said that is the way they do their cheese steaks. If it tasted good, we might have been able to overlook that, but the meat was was bland with very little seasoning and as tough as an old shoe. Plus it was luke warm like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. My burger was ok, but nothing spectacular. Much like the cheese steak, meat was bland and lacked seasoning. I added bacon and they piled it on (which was good). Garnishes were a razor thin slice of tomato and a gigantic lettuce leaf (more than three times what was needed). I like my burger bun toasted, but this was toasted too much. There was so much potential with the burger, nice 1/2 lb size, but it fell short this time. Now the wait time... from food order to arrival - over an hour (no joke... might have been longer, but giving the benefit of the doubt since we didn't have a clock on it, but marked it with text messages sent while waiting). Server came by three or four times telling us it was on the way. Owner or manager came by and said the same thing. We did notice another table that came in after we did get their food and send it back, and then leave before we got our food. Owner / manager took the cheese steak off the bill and 30% off on the rest of the bill... said he hoped we would give them a second chance. We'll see... read more

This place was absolutely amazing. We had been driving tight near it for quite some time now and didn't know. The food was fresh and delicious. The waitress was amazing giving us recommendations and answered any questions we had. We'll definitely be back! read more

We went there for lunch after a really nice morning looking for beach glass. No crab soup. No fish for the fish sandwich. No shrimp, or oysters. I ordered a philly cheese steak...no steak. We left. Between the waiter apologizing, and the trips back and forth to the cook, we wasted 30 minutes. I won't try this place again. I really wanted to like it. It has potential. It just needs a new owner, or manager, or both. read more

Wings, chicken tenders, fish and all the food for our tournament was great. The wait staff was awesome and they they did a great job making the place inviting to be at. Two thumbs up read more

I will never patronize this place again. I've been a regular customer since Coasters opened this past summer. The waitresses are always very nice and accommodating, but every week that my family has gone there, the menu continues to shrink. The last 4 to 5 times I've been and asked for funnel cake fries, they never have them, but it's always the delivery mans fault. 2 weeks ago on a Friday night they only had enough shrimp for 2 tacos and they were out of okra. One night, there was no fish for a fish sandwich so they doubled my order of oysters. Tonight we asked for lemonade because there was only unsweet tea, but they had no sugar. The lemonade which we were told was organic, was nothing more than tap water with a lemon squeezed into it. Their excuses are endless. I think it's just terrible planning on their part. The last straw was tonight, we seated ourselves because no one was at the door to greet or seat us when we walked in, there was an opened bottle of beer that sat on the entrance podium the entire time that we were there (tacky), we waited for almost 30 minutes before our order was taken, and the food took forever to come out. Besides our table of 7, there was one other couple in the dining area, it should not have taken that long. 2 of my family members ordered the smoked wings which were undercooked and still had blood in them. The manager tried to say "they were pink because the meat turns pink when they are smoked." Sir, the chicken wings had BLOOD in them, there's a huge difference! I gave them more chances than I normally would hoping that they would get their act together but they have been consistently disappointing. Their telephone number doesn't even work, it says that number is "out of service." They only get one star because no star is not an option. read more

My third visit I all but made mind up I most likely will not return. The ONLY reason I may go back is because it's right down the street. They ran out of draft beer WRONG ANSWER! The staff seemed they didn't know what they were doing. For a new establishment everything should be on point! It was too hot and fly's were buzzing everywhere getting wife angry. Not impressed. read more

0/10 TERRIBLE. My Mac n cheese tasted like water and a girl I was with got Alfredo noodles and it tasted just like my "Mac n cheese" I ordered a baked potato also and the girl took forever and then came over and said they don't have those so I had to get "seasoned red potatoes" there was no seasoning on them and they didn't taste good either. Someone I was also with never got their sides and the lady said she couldn't give him a discount and he didn't even get all his food, another girl I was with didn't get her sides either. Nobody's food tasted good and so we asked for a manager and she just shrugged her shoulders and said she couldn't get her because she was behind the bar. 3 people ordered their "crushers" think that's what it was called, and the menu showed that it came with a tiki cup and cost 8.50, they got handed and very small plastic cup with their logo and it was filled halfway with ice and didn't care about that complaint either and said that's what it is. We then got the manager ourselves and all she did was say sorry and asked if we wanted dessert, we didn't want more water tasting food, she didn't even offer any type of discount and just said sorry. When we asked the waiter for a discount for the not given food and asked for a military discount she said it was too late for that but then the manager said she could and they didn't get the full discount they said and not everyone even got one and the waiter was just so uncaring and I saw her rolling her eyes in the back. Someone noticed she didn't even ask the manager to come to us when we asked for her. She also took forever to give us our money back from the tips. Don't EVER go here. read more
