    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.

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!

    After readng several of the most recent comments and reviews we decided to re-visit Sals in Hayes…read more I really like what they've done with the place; the ambience is a bit brighter & more updated. The menu is pretty much the same so we stuck with our old standbys. There were 4 of us and two ordered their favorite pizzas while another ordered chicken parm. 3 of us had salads but I was the only one who chose the antipasto. I also ordered the appetizer of chicken wings. Not much of a fan of them usually but had a yen for them. When they arrived I dropped my jaw. THEY WERE HUGE. I hadn't been aware that they were strictly buffalo wings but ordered the mild. I tried one but only after I ate my entree of the linguine with garlic & oil. Yum. I am happy to report that it's some of the best I've had. Lots and lots of garlic and the bowl isn't swimming in olive oil. After finishing that I was too full but ate one wing & brought the rest home. Now my only complaint is that all my food came out at once. That's not my idea of enjoying the restaurant. Salad first, appetizers and then entree. The way that was done doesn't allow you to savor your courses. While I'm enjoying my salad my wings and pasta are getting cold. Not ideal. The service was good, we were checked on regularly and the server was very attentive Thank you Sals for an enjoyable night out. It was a pleasure dining with you.

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.

The area is small but they do have places to go. As a matter of fact, this restaurant is located behind a church so chances are you'll blink and miss it like I did. Let's see how the visit went, shall we? The restaurant is spacious where you have a bar section on one side with a gaming area and hi-top tables and another section with a bar area, pool tables and seating tables where we were located. The decor is really nice (didn't get a chance to take pics) and spotless. Definitely a place where you can catch sports games and such. After our party arrived, it was time to place our orders. I selected their fish and chips (rockfish was the protein) along with red crispers and I replaced their coleslaw with green beans. Overall, the dish was really good. The fish was crispy and well seasoned and the red crispers tasted wonderful with their homemade tarter sauce as the dipper. I wasn't a big fan of the green beans as I prefer mine to be soft though. But I was plenty full with the dish overall. The reason why I gave them 4 stars was service for our group. It wasn't bad as we were attended to by the welcoming staff, but it was 3 total servers which was a little weird. One server was new and messed up some of the orders. And for one person, their dish came out a little different than how she imagined so she sent it back and paid nothing. Again, not bad service but much needed training for the new guy. Even with the slight mishaps, the drive was worth it. I could definitely go here again and try different dishes. Till next time :)

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.

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
