The card system for drinks is very confusing and not the best method. It's like Dave and busters where they put your credit card on their own card and charge it for drinks and food at the end. Never seen a self serve bar before but it's interesting. Some of the drinks are not the best, so don't fill your cup to the brim. I recommend taste testing what you want so you don't have to pay per ounce if you get a big cup. Food is good- we had their fish sandwiches. But don't order the mushy peas unless you have the appetite of a baby. The server tried to hype them up, but they were exactly as they sounded- tasteless and mashed. Servers were nice, but not that attentive since we were the only ones there. But they refunded the drink we didn't like!

I Think I Found My New Seafood Spot!…read more Fuller's Raw Bar is an absolute hidden gem in Hampton. This was one of those meals where I kept thinking, "Okay, surely everything can't be this good." But apparently it can. I started with the seasonal watermelon margarita, and my only complaint is that I didn't order two. It was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. Next came the oyster flight. We went ahead and ordered a dozen, and they were another hit. Fresh, delicious, and definitely something I'd order again. My one tiny request: give me some Tabasco with my oysters instead of regular hot sauce and we are officially in business! For my entrée, I ordered the steamed seafood platter, and when I tell you I ate the ENTIRE platter...I mean there was nothing left to discuss. It came loaded with oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, and crab legs, along with cocktail sauce and hot drawn butter. Everything was cooked beautifully, and that drawn butter made it straight-up finger-licking good. And then there were the catfish and grits. Listen. I don't know whose Big Momma is back there making those grits, but please tell her I said thank you. Creamy, flavorful, comforting--those are the kind of grits that make you stop talking for a minute because you need to concentrate on what just happened. I would order them every single time. The portions were generous, the prices felt very fair for the amount and quality of seafood we received, and overall the meal exceeded my expectations. Fuller's Raw Bar officially earned a spot on my Hampton rotation. Great seafood, generous portions, fair prices, and Big Momma-level grits? Say less. I think I just found my new go-to seafood spot.

This past weekend, I visited, and it happened to be Restaurant Week. My go-to meal is their crab cake sandwich and fries, but I ventured out and tried their special: New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Mac and Cheese. The chowder was okay. The clams were a little chewy and it lacked flavor; needed a few more dashes of salt at the least. The seafood Mac and Cheese had potential. The crab meat on top looked enticing. The noodles were cooked to perfection. But the flavor was also lacking. It was not cheesy enough to call a Mac and cheese and again needed more salt and/or other seasonings. There also wasn't much seafood to boast about. Maybe a scallop or 2, a very small quantity of shrimp....the crab meat and roll were the highlight. 3 STARS (for this visit). The service was GREAT! Attentive, fast, and friendly. But I was disappointed with this dish. I'll be back. I'll get my crab cake!

I hate to say it but I didn't like it. I ordered a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak egg roll. My biggest complaint with both was the meat was chopped way too fine for me. I'm use to big slices of steak and chicken in my cheesesteaks. The sub roll was also not substantial enough to stay intact when I bit into it. It just fell apart. I will try this place again when I'm visiting the area because like I said earlier others thought it was great. I'll also go earlier next time because I overheard the cook say while I was waiting, "here comes the end of the night rush." They had some good foot traffic.

It serves Philly-style cheesesteaks, samplers, egg rolls, exceptional customer service, and some of the Best Wings I have had in the area! The restaurant is relatively small and gloomy, with enough seating to hold about 20 people for dine-in; however, this place is not a dine-in but a takeout place. I like that they put their full menu online, unlike other places that only put limited items. Service is outstanding; my first time calling in an order, the server not only told me how long it would be. Also, on this occasion, after calling in my order and completing the call, the server realized there was something that they did not have at the time. So she took the time to call and let us know and offered us something else. It was honorable in my eyes that she did that. Lastly, when I arrived, she double-checked to ensure my order was correct before I left the store. I had a cheesesteak, and my wife had the same. They were served hot, cheese melted all the way, and tasted terrific; the only problem was they were light with the meat. This is a very unique menu. They have sampler platters that can feed an army or combo platters that can feed two, and the price is right. You can mix and match them or have the pre-selected item. Now, let me talk about these wings. AMAZING! Fried to perfection, seasoned with a wet or dry rub, plain or on the side. These are cooked to order, so if you get wings to go, they are still hot when you get home. These wings are excellent, and you get them whole or halved. The wings are a must-try; they are some of the best in the area! I recommend you call ahead, but if you don't, there is a seating area where you can wait. I will be back! Happy Yelping!

I was pretty stoked b/c he had been bragging about it for years. Went here with high expectations and the wings we got were drowning in sauce and just not great texture. I can't place it but they were on par with the chain style wing places. When we dug into it a bit more, the original owners of the place sold it. It's unfortunate because the sauce itself was good. You can tell that there is/was something there. Now why the 1? I had to go to the bathroom... and they didn't put up a closed sign (should've) or had a plumber fix the issue. What I saw in that bathroom will be forever imprinted in my mind. I won't get super graphic - I'll just say that it made port-o-potties look like a 5-star hotel in comparison. I will never, ever go back here. There's the saying about a kitchen cleanliness in comparison to the bathroom. These new owners are gonna tank this place fast if they can't find the rhythm.

Sadly, have noticed a steadily progressing deterioration in both food and service. I can live with menu changes...all restaurants do it eventually. But after the last change, the food is steadily gone downhill. Greasy, unappetizing bad presentation, etc. This last weekend's visit will be my last. I understand it was busy because of a concert, but to sit at a table and have a waitress come by three times and tell us "I need more time" while serving other tables that came in and were seated after us is unacceptable. I know this because we changed tables to get a better seat and watched as the former table was served water, beer, and food orders. Ended up totally ignoring her and going to the bar to get food and drinks. Had an issue with a beer that was supposed to be a refill and was apparently filled from the wrong tap. Bartender would not acknowledge the error and I ended up just walking out never to come back again. You've lost a former good customer.

"Tasty Egyptian food not far from Peninsula Town Center"…read more Came here for some takeout on a Saturday, around noon. The restaurant was brightly lit and had modest, comfortable seating. We ordered at the counter. It seemed like only one person was working there-- the same person at the counter seemed to go back into the back to fix the food. We ordered Egyptian salad, baba ghanoush, fried fish sandwich, hawawshi, and a cup of cold hibiscus tea, all to-go. Given it was just one person working, it took about 30 minutes to get our food. One other person walked in as we sat there, but no one else, and no one was sitting at the tables eating. All of the food was delicious. The seasoning on the hawawshi was fantastic-- great meat and peppers. The baba ghanoush was unusually spicy hot-- almost enough to give me hiccups, but great flavor. The fried fish was excellent. And the hibiscus tea was tasty but had a bit of grittiness to it-- couldn't tell if it was from a mix or had a bit of undissolved sugar. Prices were all very reasonable, and the lady fixing our food was friendly and apologetic for the wait (noting it was the hawawshi that needed extra time). Overall, great food, freshly made. I wouldn't go there if in a rush or with a large group (unless ordering in advance), but if you want tasty Egyptian food at a decent price, this is a great option.
