George is a new Black Own business in Hampton. It is a Restaurant and Lounge, which means they have a subtle atmosphere during the day and a club environment at night. So keep that in mind and choose wisely when coming here. We came here late when the night activities were beginning. I'll say you have to speak very loudly. The music is at club level after 8 with a live DJ. And that's cool if that is what you are here for, but otherwise, try to get here early. So, on arrival, we came to the hostess to be seated. She was engaged in the music because she didn't know we were there until she finally turned around and saw us. I told her we wanted a table for two, and she casually waved her hand for us to sit anywhere we liked. We chose to sit as far away from the live DJ as we could cause, again, it was deafening in there. The environment is for a younger crowd, but it is suitable for take-out and DoorDash orders The place had a large bar area that took up a third of the restaurant; a stage took up a good portion of karaoke night, and the rest was tables scattered around the stage. We sat by the window and noticed that the window seal was loaded with dead flies. Those pests annoyed us throughout our stay. Our server was amazing. She was a young lady who went to Pheobus High School and college locally. She took our drink orders, explained the menu items, and was very attentive to us. Now, what do you need to know? It's a lounge, which means it has a nightclub feel in the evenings. The food is good despite the old crab sandwich, which they gladly changed for a fresh burger and fries. The fries are fantastic. Other menu items have a homemade hometown feel, so it's safe to say the food is good. Just be aware that this lounge has a young crowd and loud music. I may be back, but it won't be a priority. Happy Yelping!!

Crab Cake Sandwich & Fries

Crab cake sandwich pretty good but service can be slow. Saw two parties leave waiting to be served. Sometimes they don't have everything on the menu prepare in time to take your order.

Rasta pasta, yum

George! As a 757 native, I am proud that this place exists. I learned about George restaurant from one of my aunts. It's situated in a place that is both highly visible and in the cut; even though you can see the sign from Mercury Boulevard, you really have to know how to loop around to get in there. And both of these facts signify on what makes this place so special. George really is old-school black Hampton (the city). George was created by local black Baby Boomers. There's a picture of the actual George (RIP) on the wall. And if you didn't know, the Boomers are still booming. The website refers to a time when "Baby Boomers"...referred to each other as Brothers and Sisters...when Love filled the air in the "Age of Aquarius"...[and we had] great thinkers, writers, and musicians..." My cousin invited me out to jazz night at George in October. These musicians play serious jazz, and the band leader even has a jingle for when they invite folks who can play or sing up to jam with them - no smooth jazz, no pop, no R & B, just jazz. Now mind you, that's on jazz night: A friend who is an accomplished R&B singer recently performed a set there as well. On jazz night the band was swinging. When a brotha waiting patiently at our table to be invited up joined in, it was my first time hearing anyone play a pocket trumpet. A little girl was sleeping on a couch during the performance. When she woke up, she got up on the stage. The band members who were sitting out that stanza smiled at her as she bopped, until her mom came and got her. The food? I had a Rasta pasta that was lush and decadent. My food was seasoned, you hear me? The sauce was lush and creamy and well balanced by fresh, crisp slices of bell pepper and onion with the perfect amount of bite. My cousin had a salad with a nicely cooked piece of salmon. I took crab cakes home to my mom. (I had recently had her try crab cakes from 2 different spots in Williamsburg. She said they were ok.) But George's? She asked me to get those again. And I did, later that same month. We both enjoyed them. I went back for a very quiet happy hour on a Friday in December. Four 21 y.o.'s came in and sat at the bar. The girls had on bonnets. One of the guys said, "Bro, I been in here with my mama." I chuckled to myself. A man with newly graying hair came in and sat at the bar too. All ages, all chilling. I had a glass of Chardonnay, some delicious wings and crispy fries. I asked for the remoulade sauce I'd had last time on the side. It was so good, I ordered the same thing to go. Before I left, the waitress chided me for wiping the table after myself, because that was her job, baby. We laughed. At George, you will be seen. George represents our gathering as a *work* that continues, as we must, and have always, with a "renewed spirt, yet with the sensibilities of today." I'm feeling that. At George, the food is good and the vibes, impeccable.

Visited to celebrate three generation of birthdays and had such a good time. We visited on a Friday during happy hour so decided to try multiple appetizers. We got the wings & fries, veggie dumplings, chicken bites and fish bites. We sampled the fried zucchini and all of the food was good! We had a very large group and I think the waitresses did the best they could with such a large crowd. Now let's talk about the Dj and vibe on a Friday night. From the time we walked in we danced in our seats and some even hit the dance floor! The Dj is amazing and makes the restaurant a great time for a Friday night! I can't wait to visit again and we drove from Chesapeake (hickory area) and would do it again for a Friday night!

Came here with my daughter and her grandmother for her birthday on Easter Sunday! I live up the street and always said we would come after seeing reviews, so we finally did & it must say we're pleasantly surprised! Great atmosphere, had live band and music! Great food omg seasoned just right! We all enjoyed our food! Everyone was really pleasant! Great waitress Kira also she's cool!! Will definitely be back with rest

Chicken and waffles
Gwendolyn F.

It looks like it's closed from the outside, don't be fooled, it is open and worth you opening the door. We were greeted with a smile and could be seated anywhere. The food had a good presentation and was nice and hot. I ordered seared salmon with 2 sides and my hubby had chicken and waffles. Every item on the plates were delectable with there own flavor. The chef even came out the kitchen and I couldn't help giving him a thumbs up. The food was very very tasty. I had enough on my plate, to bring some home for later. We will be back.

Candied Yams
Katherine A.

Ordered from door dash. I ordered the cat fish nuggets, Mac and cheese, and yams. The cat fish was good but the Mac and cheese was missing seasoning/cheese. The Yams were okay but they were watery.

Bar Area

Had a wonderful dinner here last week with my wife. Ambiance is nice, very friendly staff, good food reasonably priced. My wife had the crab cakes that were filled with plenty of crab meat, not stuffing. I had the Rigatoni with butterfly shrimp in a cream source that was delicious and spicy just enough so not to burn. Plus, even with the large butterfly shrimp, there were plenty of individual ones in the dish. Looking forward to the entertainment nights and the completion of the cigar lounge, I will definitely be a long-term customer! Give George a try, you will be pleased!

Truly enjoyed eating at George. Decent prices for great meals. The salmon was very tender and tasty. Very attentive staff. Will definitely return.

Sophia and I have not been here in a year but are no strangers to CM Chicken. For years, we've…read moreeither dined in or ordered takeout when they offered discounts. Right before we left for the Christmas trip home, we decided to stop by and catch up. Let's see how the visit went. There were hardly any people inside when we walked in which was perfectly fine with us. The staff as always greeted us before we got seated. And the vibe was very relaxed throughout. After a few minutes of looking over the order, we were ready. Mine consisted of honey chicken wings (10) and a side of curly fries. I had the honey chicken tenders previously and enjoyed my selection. So why not go with the flavor again?! The food itself was good. Never have I ever had a bad dish here so that streak is perfect. The wings were crunchy as always and the honey flavor wasn't too sweet for my palate. The curly fries, as always, were the perfect side. I actually saved half the food for dinner that evening where the taste wasn't that different. Thank you CM Chicken for delivering good eats. You know we'll be back for more soon :)

If you like korean fried chicken in general, you would definitely like this place. I really really…read morelike the hot spicy one, even though I thought it would burn the living inside of my mouth. In reality, it was about a 6/10 on spice. It built up a little bit, but they had a nice amount of sweetness along with the gochujang, and I really enjoyed the blend of flavors. If you like the spicy buldak ramen I'm sure you might like this too. We ordered a lot of the flavors, including curry, snow, garlic, soy, honey, garlic, lemon, and finally the hot spicy one they're all really good in their own respective ways and even the original chicken itself was really good. If you're afraid of spice, I think the garlic soy or the curry ones are your best bet. I really enjoyed both of them, but especially the garlic soy. The sauce was sweet, umami, and tangy and allowed the chicken to still be crispy underneath. Better than other restaurants like Bonchon. The lemon was really nice too. I love the scallions. They had a little bit of brightness to the dish. The lemon scallions were good mixed with the other flavors. The service was awesome. The lady, who I assume was the owner, was super nice to us along with the waiter. They gave us a lot of time to wait for a whole party to arrive and they gave us recommendations and made sure to advise us on the menu. We had one person in our party that had peanut allergies and she clarified that all the stuff they cook does have a little bit of peanut oil so if you are really allergic to peanuts, I would definitely avoid this place but apart from that you will definitely enjoy eating here. CM chicken is a franchise if you didn't know so if you like this spot and are not local to the area, I'm sure there might be a spot close by to you wherever you reside on the East Coast.
