    I was excited when we pulled up to the restaurant. I had great expectations for the seafood. We…read morewere seated in one of the rooms with large parties and the noise was overwhelming. My autistic teen actually left to sit outside for some peace and quiet We ordered a variety of items for appetizers and dinner. The crabmeat with pita pieces was delicious as was the seafood French fries. My son enjoyed his She Crab soup. For a main course I ordered the Rachel Sandwich. The fish, cheese and Cole slaw were tasteless, and the bread was hard. Nothing enjoyable at all other than my side of Brussels sprouts. Everyone had the same feelings about the food. Passable but not worth coming back again for.

We sat outside, which was perfect. We started with the tuna bites, and they were excellent. I usually don't like anything blackened, so I wasn't expecting these to be my favorite, but they were amazing. The tuna was perfectly cooked, and the peppery blackened seasoning was just right without overpowering it. We also had a dozen raw oysters. Salty, fresh and wonderful -- exactly what you want this time of year. It's oyster season! Then came the crab fries. So good. A huge pile of fries loaded with crab and cheese. Really, how can you go wrong with that combination? And they definitely didn't skimp on the crab. For my meal, I had the Cobb salad with crab and oysters. It was HUGE. I easily could have shared it with my husband, especially after all of our appetizers. YROC is worth a visit for the setting alone, but the food was surprisingly good and ended up being the real highlight. Beautiful marina, great outdoor seating, fresh seafood and generous portions. We'll definitely be back.

Situated right under the York River bridge, not far from the Yorktown museum, is the cutest village. I'm sorry, they can't claim it as part of the original Yorktown but it is cute. There is a lovely river walk...hence the name of the restaurant. They have some of the BEST views in the area being right there. We had reservations however it being the busiest day for restaurants, we had to chill our heels for a few moments before being taken back. I was more than ok with this as we ended up getting a window seat (see above for reference). Thank heavens they put the name of the server in the receipt cuz y'all know my Swiss cheese brain. Cara was the wonderful server who took care of us. She was always there ready for me to get my mum good & spoiled. Super friendly and very helpful. The buffet, it was impressive for a buffet and while not a big buffet, it was specialized. First up were 3 different kinds of salads, then a fruit platter, and bagels & cream cheese. They had a raw bar with shrimp & oysters next, then breakfast stuff (eggs, potatoes bacon etc) mac & cheese, garlic mashed taters & then a carving station with turkey, ham & lamb. Finally a small but respectful dessert table. If you couldn't find something to fill you, you weren't looking. The single sour note of the buffet was the salmon and Mac & cheese. I'll know better next time. Overall the River Walk has come back with perfect timing and style. I highly recommend a visit. Parking is a pain but patience will help

The biggest issue was the portion size. The special only came with two tacos, which only contained 6 shrimp in total, which felt a little light for a meal. I was also surprised by the bar. I asked for a mojito and was told that they couldn't make drinks that are not on their menu. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing because from the looks of it, they had a full-service bar, which I wouldn't think a mojito would be an issue to make. And no, I wasn't asking for a mojito during a busy time when the bartender was slammed. Overall, the food tasted very good and the waterfront location was hard to beat. It was only two small things that kept this from being a 5 star experience, but I absolutely would come back as I enjoyed myself.

I wanted to go back for my birthday so I went last week, it was during the week so it was not too busy. I am not sure if they were short staffed but I had the worst experience! We sat outside, we had to keep swatting away flies. Our server was the worst, she barely let me finish my sentence before she walked away. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay. Our food was not great either. This time I got the crab cakes, no sauce came with it and my mashed potatoes were dry. The seasonal vegetable was asparagus and it was not cooked properly, it was tough and fibrous. My husband got a steak, it has no flavor and his asparagus was the same as mine. I couldn't want to just leave. What a disappointment.

The ambience is nice - they have TVs where you can watch games and it's very clean and open space. If you like fried food, this place is for you. Everything is fried and unhealthy. No dessert options for an evening bite. We used to go to the old location in Yorktown, and absolutely loved their fish and chips. We went to the new location tonight and I will say it is a beautiful restaurant. I like how they have games inside so you are entertained. They have a few smaller tables but it is mostly long tables with bar stools. They have axe throwing in the back. They also have many cornhole boards which I believe they advertise that they have cornhole on Wednesdays. While we were there tonight, they had music bingo. It was a lot of fun ! There is a beer wall where you get a card, and have to tap the beer that you want on the wall in order to pour yourself a beer. It is a neat concept however, it's very confusing. It does make it easy to get the beer you want without having to wait on weight staff or a bartender. I had the fish tacos. I am not a big fried food person, and the fish tacos came fried. They were very crunchy and it was hard for me to eat... I felt like the fried part of the fish, overpowered the fish. The ratio of coleslaw to fish was off- There was more coleslaw than there was fish. It was also very difficult for me to eat the tacos and push the fish down into the taco. I will say, the fish was seasoned well and the sauce was delicious- a little kick of heat but not too bad. My fiancé had the Fish and Chips. The "chips" (fries) were seasoned well. He said that he felt they gave you less fish than they used to. I ordered the Sweet & Sour basket, thinking it was candied jalapeños and fried pickles. The jalapeños were sliced like the pickles and fried. You couldn't tell which was which in the basket. I was expecting a non-fried jalapeño with some sort of sticky sauce. They were good but filling and unhealthy. My buddy had the curry fries- it was delicious! I never had curry sauce before and it works well with fries! We went for a birthday party (group of 11) and were incredibly disappointed in the service. While the waiter was kind, we had many food items missing and had to keep asking. The "birthday boy" had his food missing and we asked about it numerous times. A large table that came after us, got complimentary food. Not that we were looking for free food or anything, but the fact there were many screw ups (we didn't complain or act in any way) and that table was treated so well- that annoyed us. I know we will be back because my fiancé enjoys the fish and chips, but if I had the choice, I would not go back for the food only. I would go back for axe, throwing and music bingo !

They even landed a spot on Channel 13's Friday Flavor segment years back. Let's see how the food turned out. There was a decent crowd inside when we walked inside. The decor was nice and clean. Again, the restaurant's been around for years, but it's definitely well kept. Just like other BBQ spots, you have to order up front. On the right, the menu's on the board to choose from. It took us minutes to select our respective meals, but at the end of the day, we were ready. For my order, I selected a dinner size plate of beef brisket with a side of fried pickles. All was quite delicious. The brisket was cooked perfectly and went well with both BBQ sauces from Scoot's. And I liked their fried pickles were actually small spears. Fried and not too much sodium. Sophia ordered a brisket sandwich with fried pickles and enjoyed her selection. A very good first time for the both of us. This won't be the last time we'll be here. Till next time :)

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
