First impression NOISY. This place is loud. High ceilings and open dining area makes the voices reverberate throughout the woke restaurant. The BBQ was ok, chicken dried out and the pork only average. Their sauce was the perfect blend of sweet with just the right about of spice. The place was clean and the service was decent. Not a bad bbq place but definitely has room for improvement.

The team listened to our thoughts, offered suggestions and helped guide us with food, drink and decor choices. Most everything was done over text, email, and facetime videos so we could get a feel for the place. We were so pleased the day of to be greeted by attentive staff, a beautiful space, set up and grazing table. The food was amazing, we were happy with the choices we had for entrees, and the decision to offer dessert at the grazing table worked out well to get people moving and mingling. The dinner went right into welcome drinks with over 100 more people coming in and the staff managed the flow of the crowd really well. The specialty drinks were a hit. We couldn't have been happier with our experience with/at Amber Ox. We would highly recommend them! Sue and Tom Dean Darien, CT

Me n my buddy did a whirl of cheesesteak places in the Hampton Roads area. I knew about this place because of our adventures in Williamsburg. I kept boasting about how good it was, so much so we drove from Chesapeake to Williamsburg JUST to eat dinner here. Is it that good? YES.. it's that good. I don't know what more to add other than the fact that if you're a Cheesesteak fan, it is mandatory to come visit here - you won't be disappointed.

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

Their Vienna lager did not disappoint. It was light, crisp, refreshing, and just malty enough to wash down the tasty noodles I enjoyed alongside. I also really loved the community vibe of this place, with a huge beer garden and plenty of indoor seating too. I also appreciated the super friendly service and welcoming crowd of locals. The parking lot was a bit tight and I learned the hard way why most folks backed into their parking spots (it was a tight corridor backing out)!

Let's see how this stop turned out. We were able to get a table during lunch time where there was a good crowd on hand. Since it was the 4th, I expected there would be a few more. The staff was pretty busy taking care of diners and orders ready for takeout. It was a little warm inside, but it wasn't a surprise given the weather was really hot. And there was a fan literally behind is blowing out much needed air. The special they had for the 4th was $2.50 corn dogs and $2.50 PBR beer. We said no to beer, but couldn't resist corn dogs. My order consisted of two of them and a small order of cheese curds. Sophia ordered two corn dogs and a Roadhouse hot dog. This was the first time in a long time I'me had corn dogs so I couldn't resist given the special. And boy did they deliver. I actually started to get full after eating my first one. They were really good and well cooked. And great call to add cheese curds to the meal. Tasted great especially with the sauce. Sophia enjoyed her selections and had leftovers to take home as well. There you have it. Another great lunch for the two of us. We'll be back soon :)
