Pizza
Vanessa S.

We ate with this choice. The prices here are insanely good for the amount of food they give us. Like I mean the pizza is so stuffed with topping. This is definitely worth it. It is hands down the best hummus I've had. The service was good. They were all so kind and welcoming. I loved it. I'm coming back. They slayed.

The Reuben and fries
Rae G.

I've gotten delivery from this eatery for a couple of years, and recently started dining in. It is very local to me and "Jimmy" the owner is frequently on site. The offerings are generally deli sandwiches and pizza. Ever since I started ordering from them I have been overwhelmed by the huge portions. Today I got a Reuben with fries and it covered an entire large plate. My husband got the New Yorker, which was always a favorite of my son's when he lived here. Even my husband could not finish his sandwich in one go. Most of my family got the chips, which are really tasty and seem homemade. They are a sort of thin waffle chip. My other son today got the Greek Burger and my daughter in law got the Chicken Gyro. Again, huge portions. On a previous visit they had a Greek special with chicken and rice. My son has been craving that since then although it hasn't reappeared on the menu when we've been in. The spanakopita, a Greek spinach and cheese filled pastry, is made from Jimmy's mother's recipe. She just passed away recently but Jimmy assures us she taught some of the kitchen staff to make it just as she did. I have had the spanakopita on several visits and it is stuffed full of spinach. That can be good or bad, depending on your affection for cooked spinach. The dining area is quite large as it used to be a nicely appointed Chinese restaurant for many years called Spring Garden and later Le Bamboo Bistro. There is no remnant of either of those previous eateries. This is a vinyl booths, claw and arcade machines, order at the counter family establishment. All of the staff that I have ever encountered are friendly, customer oriented and eager to please. I haven't ever been in for dinner but during the day there is a steady flow of customers and many families. The prices are moderate but to feed a family of 4 today the cost was about $65 for 4 sandwiches and drinks. So about $15 per person. That must be why the portions are so huge. I really wish many places would offer smaller options and charge less. But any place in Virginia that sells alcohol (they sell beer here) has to charge more for food to make up for that provision that food sales significantly exceed alcohol sales. If you are hungry for made to order, huge portions and a casual environment from a locally owned small business, bring your family, friends and your appetite to this Yorktown eatery.

Punch card

If you leave hungry it's your own fault. Food portions are very generous. The subs and sandwiches are packed. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Don't forget to get the punch card. After 6 visits you get a free 12 inch sub.

Greek Nachos
Christina C.

This place was really clean and welcoming! The customer service was very cheerful and inviting. You order at the register and seat yourself. I ordered the Greek nachos which were tasty, it had gyro beef/lamb meet with pita triangles, lettuce, tomato, onions and tzatziki sauce. My husband ordered a grilled chicken gyro, that's what I would order when we return because the chicken was seasoned well, and it was really fresh, and juicy! Inside it was kind of like a restaurant/sports bar because it had multiple tv's and tables and booths. Would definitely recommend!

Jimmy, forgive me for not coming in more often and for never reviewing... fresh and flavorful like the first time I stopped by, it's good to see things haven't changed. The chicken gyro was everything I needed. As we walked in, we were very pleasantly welcomed by someone who gave us a quick run down and some recommendations - turned out he was actually off the clock and was heading home for the day, but was kind enough to spare a few minutes for us to make sure we were looked after. Thank you! I loved the homemade waffle potato chips; a crunchy exterior similar to potato chips, few were soft in the middle - except for the larger chips, but they were delicious. I finished them all. The portion was huge. I'm not ashamed. The restaurant area was quiet for a 4pm on a Tuesday, but there were many take out orders being picked up, which very quickly has me adding JDG to my list of take out options, opa!

Grilled Chicken Gyro Sandwich
Chris P.

It's a nice Greek style deli. The service was quick and we got our food shortly after ordering. They had tons of options, and also offered meat alternatives if you don't like beef or lamb for your gyro. I tried it with the grilled chicken and it was so good juicy and tender ! The spot is decently sized with some booth and table seating inside. If you like classic Greek gyros and sandwiches give this place a try you won't leave hungry!

Greek salad with chicken
Abby R.

Staff, awesome and friendly. Food, delicious and huge portions. Split your meal! When I go I split the greek salad and a sandwich with my mom. We love the New Yorker. It is pastrami and corned beef, spicy mustard, cheese... delicious They have their home made chips which are little waffle fry chips. No need to upgrade to actual french fries.

I can not believe I have not reviewed Food Craft. It is a very popular spot for the local area. I…read moreoften see the parking lot full and there is line outside the door or others standing around. I can understand why, the menu is decent and the food and service is great. This is the brunch place to be. When you walk in , it is pretty open. There is tables throughout and it is fairly clean. We were seated quickly. Our waitress was fantastic at my recent visit. I was there with my friend and a teen who is special needs. Our waitress was very engaging with them and took her time with them. I was so happy about that. Our food was amazing. My husband was with me once and he had the scotch eggs and said they were some of the best he has had. My food has always come out piping hot. I enjoy my blueberry pancakes. I like that you can get one plain and one blueberry. The blueberries on my pancake were spaced out well. There is a nice large lot to park in. There are various other businesses around food craft that share that lot.

We didn't even have to ask for a high chair, it was already ready at the table for us. The food comes out fresh all the time and it normally comes out fast which is a huge plus when you have a hangry toddler! Their country fried steak never misses & I got chocolate chip pancakes for my baby boy but honestly... I got it for myself bc the last time I got it was when I was pregnant with him and I was craving it since it's been quite some time since we have been there haha. There's a reason we keep coming back & you should definitely check this mom & pop out!

Chef's Market has been open for a few months and even snagged a spot on Channel 13's Friday Flavor segment weeks ago. It's a mixture of a restaurant, brewery, grocery market, bakery and entertainment center. Many options to choose. Was the visit worth it? The space itself is gorgeous. On the wall, there are countless music posters and artwork. You have a bar section, entertainment section, chairs and tables for seating, grocery items and shirts, a butcher section where you can buy meat and cakes and the front where you place your order, pick up your plate once it's ready and a bakery section. Like I said, a whole lot to choose from. I chose the cranberry sourdough grilled cheese sandwich with fries as the side, along with some Kona Big Wave Golden Ale beer. A pretty good meal indeed. The sandwich may sound weird to some, but it actually worked. And the homemade fries needed no condiments at all and were seasoned perfectly. The light beer was a great choice to pair with the dish. After we were done with dinner, over half of us plaued duckpin bowling. Compared to regular bowling, the pins are smaller and hung by strings to operate. And the bowling balls you throw with your palm and are smaller. It took some time to get used to playing, but I gradually got better. On my last game, which was just myself playing after two other guys were tired, I hit over 100. Not bad at all :) Overall, Chef's Market has a lot of promise in Newport News. A good mix for everybody who comes by. Do check it out.

I'd return despite a few hiccups…read more I chose to dine here with a friend because of Newport News Restaurant Week 2018 and this was a restaurant that she hadn't dined at before. So here we are... Well the restaurant is inside the Newport News Marriott and it's located in the City Center Oyster Point part of the city... right next to the beautiful fountain. While there isn't views of the fountain from the restaurant, the hotel does offer patio seating. Our waiter/bartender, Chris was super friendly and on point throughout our dining experience. I ordered the GRASS FED RIBEYE (minus) the wild mushrooms and (minus) onions, house made steak butter, hand cut fries, and broccolini. Sounds yummy right! Well I didn't order from the restaurant week menu which included a three course meal, but the dinner option is a meal the restaurant features as well. The steak was cooked to perfection, the fries, yummy! But I didn't receive the broccolini... so I told Chris ...um... this is just steamed broccoli not broccolini ... In a matter of minutes he returned with the broccolini. And I only ordered this meal because I love love broccolini!! I'm happy now. Keep in mind, the mixed drinks on the menu are no longer available. The waiter advised the drink menu will be revamped as a result, all new drinks will be created. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but very lively. There are TV's in this area as well as ample seating. I called a few days before our arrival to reserve seating, the young lady at the front desk of the hotel answered and advised, reserved seating isn't necessary... and it wasn't. We arrived about 7 pm on a Friday night as we were able to sit down comfortably with no wait at all. My girlfriend ordered a mixed drink and she enjoyed it... I had a sip and it was tasty. I had a glass of Pinot Noir and it was super fantastic. For the most part, I have no side eyes about this restaurant. If I did, the waiter informed us ahead of time of them all. I'd return and I'd recommend if you are in the area you give them a try as well. I believe they feature a happy hour Monday - Friday and they do offer Breakfast in the morning. Parking is available on the street and there are several parking lots in the area as well as a parking garage nearby. Have fun and enjoy life :)
