I'd been eyeing Mango Mangeaux for a while and finally had the chance to check it out. We arrived around noon on a Saturday and were seated pretty quickly, which was a nice start. It took about 10 minutes or so before our waitress came over to get our drink order, so service felt a bit slow right out of the gate. We ordered the Gouda grilled cheese and the buffalo chicken sandwich; both were really good, no complaints on the food at all. While I'm glad I finally gave it a try, the overall experience didn't quite wow me, mostly due to the service. The food was tasty, but I don't see myself going back anytime soon. read more

Upon arrival, we were almost immediately seated. It did take, however, a while for someone to come take our drink orders as there way maybe one or two waitresses for the whole restaurant. They were pretty busy, as there were constantly more people coming in and some had to wait for a table until others left. The restaurant isn't that big inside, but it is nice with plenty of decor. The bananas foster French toast was pretty good. I have no complaints. The chicken on the other plate was covered in powdered sugar -- i felt like more should've been on the French toast instead of the chicken. I will probably be back. read more

Need more stars there's not enough!! This place right here has been on my list since they were on Shark Tank and that was a long time ago! Guess what it was definitely worth the wait! Never been a mango fan. Who's a mango fan now! Didn't think I like mangoes do! Reservations are definitely recommended. We were there for a Sunday brunch. The only thing I have to say me personally I prefer to sit downstairs as opposed to upstairs I made reservation without knowledge of the place and we sat upstairs. The hostess that greeted us was super nice. She's a day one employee. I asked her many questions and she was very helpful. You can tell she thoroughly enjoys her job. She suggested that I the mango margarita and it was delicious. So I started off with a mango margarita, which was definitely a winner in my book. I ordered a croissant basket and a course the beignets I wanted to get a little sampling of a few things. The croissants come with some of their mango butter and their mango preserves, and mango fruit dip. ( remember I'm not a mango person.) but these were so good. Their mango butter was delicious. Moving onto the main dish, I had to get the bananas Foster French toast. The only thing I wish that I had more of the bananas foster sauce, so in the future when I come and order, I will ask for extra because it was so good. I could've licked the plate . I also ordered a side of bacon and potatoes. Both were cooked to perfection. I seen on my social media page where they had a French toast flight so I went in with this thought that I was gonna order this so that I could try all of their different different variations of French toast, but when I heard they do not have a French toast I have to say I was a little disappointed. Maybe in the future this might be something they offer. Seeing that restaurants offer flights of coffee flights mimosa flights, bloody Mary flights, Let's get a French toast flight started sign me up.. Brunch was so good. I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10 I will definitely be back and yes, I did end up buying a jar of mango preserves because I cannot wait to make some mango butter. I have to admit I did feel sorry for our waitress having to run up and down the stairs. It was a little warm in there once the sun started coming out. I definitely recommend they do offer brunch breakfast luncheon dinner go ahead and give their website is look. They were featured on Shark Tank. You'll have to do your research. I'm not gonna spill the beans. Can't wait to return. read more

Loved it! Popped in on a Wednesday to check it out before Hampton HC festivities kicked off. It was just before noon and not crowded, but the lunch crowd began making its way in over the next hour. Service was friendly, attentive and prompt. I was immediately seated. I had mango mimosa, mango French Toast and the turkey sausage and loved everything! The flavor and seasoning of the French Toast allowed me to enjoy each bite. The turkey sausage was homemade patted and had a good balance of seasoning; not spicy nor salty. And the decor is beautifully done and very delightful to see upon entering. This is a must try if you are in the area! I'm glad yelp sent me! read more

Perfect brunch date and how cool that they were on Shark Tank. Went here twice-- first time with the bestie, second time on a couples date. Such a fun time for everyone! I cannot get over their mango preserve! Loved it with the fruits. Everything we ordered was delicious. We got the chesapeake benedict (yum!), chicken fried benedict, shrimp & grits, sledge skillet (amazing presentation), croissant basket, and a flight of virgin mimosas. It can get busy on the weekends so be sure to go early. Around noon on Saturday, it was about a 40 minute wait. The next Saturday, we were there at 10 am and were seated instantly. Definitely coming back and bringing more friends. read more

This was my first time visiting it. We went for a restaurant week and I was very pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent. We had the set menu that came for lunch for restaurant week. It was a lovely salad, shrimp and grits and a beignet for dessert. We also ordered the mango mimosa which was delicious.. The service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive, even though it was very busy. The ambience was really fun with lots of bright orange all over the place in this old beautiful house down in Phoebus. I will definitely go again. read more

Mango Mangeaux - Gumbo $20 - New American Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

i've been wanting to check this spot out for a while, so i decided to come across the bridge to give it a try. i'll start with my initial first impression . me and another lady walked in , the server asked how many both parties had, then she just disappeared... so another gentleman came back , asked about both our parties, then eventually got us both situated. i started off with a mimosa , and it was very tasty. was a little disappointed bc i could've sworn the menu had more to offer , but it didn't. and being that i don't eat pork, the only non pork option (the turkey sausage), wasn't even in stock, so i was a little disappointed in that. so i ended up with the french toast, which was very good , so i cannot complain. the spot has a very nice, cozy atmosphere. from what i understand, they may be closing soon, so im not sure if thats why the service was a little lacking . read more

I stopped in for a quick bite and a beverage of the alcoholic persuasion. I wanted a speciality drink that was in their menu board but was told it wasnt available. So I ordered a mango mimosa and the crawfish beignets. I had a small wait for my food because they were making them fresh. They were light and fluffy with a delightful tangy filling and they didn't skimp out on the crawfish. I do wish there was a bit more filling since not every bite had filling or sauce. The restaurant was open and full of natural light which was a very comforting feeling. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a detour. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for years, but I've been putting it off. I finally went and I was surprised with the prices of the food compared to the quality. The prices are expensive but the food does not have exceptional favor and it's a very limited menu--except the beignets. The beignets were a delight--not Cafe Du Monde's, but the best beignets I've had in VA. The crab Benedict was very underwhelming--expensive with very little crab. The chicken fried chicken was decent, expensive for it not to come with a side. I would return to try dinner. read more

Have you ever had NeoSoul rolls? Me neither, until today! They're bomb! In short, it's your soul food favs ( greens, rice, black eye peas, Mac & cheese, etc.) wrapped and fried into an egg roll. Doesn't sound good, does it? Well I'm here to report, don't knock it until you've tried it. I really enjoyed those NeoSoul rolls especially pairing the with their mango lemonade. My daughter ordered their chicken sandwich and she gave it a 10/10! All of their food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The service was good and the ambiance was clean and cute. I couldn't give 5 stars because my NeoSoul rolls took awhile to come out. My daughter was almost finished with her meal by the time I got mine... but the rolls were worth the wait! read more

04/2024 This place never misses on the food, honestly the consistency of the food for brunch is just amazing. Kudos! I had the shrimp n grits which I've had since my 1st visit and it was delicious as per usual. Even the cup of gumbo was still tasty. Ended the meal with the must have beignets. My friends had the chicken with French toast and they both loved it. I just wish they would expand and get a bigger location, the only thing that keeps me from this place is the wait times because of the small seating space. read more

When I first walked in, I came from the back and it was a little offputting because I didn't know. I'll be in the back of the restaurant. As far as how narrow the space was, they didn't really have any clear " go to the front sign" so I wasn't sure if I should've gone to the bar. Again, this is really just based on how the layout is. The server came and asked me if I had a reservation and I told him yes someone who came in about five minutes before me and put one in he was kind of arguing with me that they don't do same-day reservations and I was telling him she literally just came in and put it in. anyways, once in the front checked, it's in there. He's like your table will be about five minutes. OK, no problem. I found my party. We end up walking around the area. Once we came back to the restaurant, we were seated now based solely on the Food-to-price ratio. It is on the pricier side for the amount of food you are getting. I did see some people had fried chicken entrée which looked very filling however, I got the Chesapeake Benedict as my main course and I added a side of andouille sausage and that was eight extra dollars. ..... again what I got compared to the cost doesn't balance out that much for me. The food was good however, someone else on my table got fried fish with grits. And the grits look super plain for a restaurant that is Creole-inspired. read more

10/26/2022 ** hot as fish grease that I did not check in appropriately on Yelp ** I've been wanting to visit this place for years. My goddaughter was attending Hampton University nearby and raved about this place. Now my son attends, and I am committed to regular visits here !! Lol Our party of 4 arrived bright and early on a Sunday morning, and of course, they were packed. There was a 45-minute wait. No way! I located a wall bar shelf all the way in the back, and we were able to sit there immediately. We were greeted by Anastasia. She was kind, proficient, and energetic. Collectively, we ordered the following. The Biggie (Rib-Eye) Sides "Put it on the Side" Skillet Potatoes and Bacon Vegan Gumbo Rich Girl Mimosa (Spirit Free) - Passion Fruit and Blackberry Juice Toast French Toast 2 Scrambled Eggs w Cheese Our party of 4 enjoyed each and everything so much. Everything came out quickly, well plated and hot. Everything was well seasoned and plentiful. This place is a neighborhood gem, and I see exactly why it was loved so much by goddaughter and friends. I look forward to returning for dinner my next visit read more

Mango Mangeaux - French toast and chicken breast! 10 out of 10! - New American Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Like others have mentioned, I stumbled across this gem when visiting my daughter at college. Now it's a requirement to visit every time I'm in town. We have tried both their brunch offerings, as well as dinner selections. You can't go wrong either way. The winners for us were definitely: Salmon Burger: A must try! Usually when people fry salmon, it takes away the essence of the fish. But not here, the burger is prepared perfectly. Neo Soul Eggroll: Stuffed with black eyed peas, collard greens, and cheese. Another must try! Magnolia Shrimp & Grits: Seared shrimp with bits of ham in yummy Gouda grits. Grits are super creamy and delicious. RICH GIRL PO BOY MIMOSA: A big hit and plenty to go around. Service was good and attentive. The ambiance is super cute with orange and white decor. I highly recommend to make a reservation. This place is super popular...and for good reason! read more

Stopped here on our way back to northern Virginia Sunday to try their brunch! So the surrounding area looked a bit sketchy but don't let that keep you away! The restaurant was vibrant both outside and inside. It was clean and welcoming with colors matching its name! Their menu looked awesome and I wish I could have tried more items! Our server was attentive and polite. The only thing I would approve on would be the sweet tea and coffee, both tasted watered down: But not a big deal at all. We ordered the fried chicken and French toast and the fried fish with grits! We cleaned our plates...it was that good! Full of flavor and fried perfectly. Mine came with some of their signature mango preserves which was absolutely divine. I had to order me a full jar to take home! We will definitely be bringing our kids with us next time! read more

I must say, the only reason I hadn't been there for a while was due to poor service the first two times I tried it and they clearly have made some changes and improvements. I waited a little longer than they said but that's ok. Once seated the service was cordial and fast. I ordered the PoBoy lunch special that came with gumbo and fries. I also order the egg rolls. To keep it simple they were both great. I got the catfish poboy which was perfectly seasoned, crispy and came straight from the kitchen because the was hot, which is important to me. The fries weren't great but were passable, I won't judge them on the fries. The egg rolls were cooked well and tasted great. I hope you enjoy your next visit there as much as I did. read more

We've been here before for brunch with friends, only once last year on a Sunday. Even though we had to wait 1 hour, it was totally worth it. I had their famous chicken and French toasts, they were amazing! The mimosa flight wasn't for me. They were huge and way too sweet. I ended up giving one mimosa to my husband and the other to my friend. Long story short, food was amazing and I couldn't wait to go back! Last Saturday, we met with a friend for brunch. She had to wait 30 minutes and in the meantime ordered a mimosa that didn't come until I got there and got mine. To make matters worse, it was warm. Such a let down! I hate sending food or drinks back but I definitely should have. I ordered the Fried green tomato and crab eggs Benedict. They were absolutely delicious! My husband and our friend ordered the shrimp and grits. I only tried the grits and they were really good. I don't mind paying but at least, give me everything that my $24 plate is supposed to have! I later realized that they didn't bring me the sides. So my friend didn't get to try their famous mango preserves or have the same experience that we did the first time. It's a bummer because we are all chefs. Consistency is extremely important!Especially if you're going to charge $24 for eggs Benedict, no sides. And warm mango mimosas. I love their food and their concept but it's far for us. Not knowing which experience you're going to get, sucks! Especially after a 40 minute drive and traffic. read more

We have always wanted to try this place, especially with our love for mangos! The service was wonderful, the staff were kind and attentive. The ambience is super cool, I love the style of a restaurant or cafe inside a old house. The orange color creates a very cute aesthetic. We tried the brunch menu. My Chesapeake Eggs Benedict was pretty good with the crab. Apparently there is mango in this dish, but I couldn't taste the mango. I like the choice of biscuits instead of English muffin. My husbands fried fish was tasty and seasoned well. The mango iced tea was delicious!! The mango jelly was super good on toast, but to buy a bottle for home was a little pricey. I'd love to come back and try their lunch and/or dinner menu. A nice place to get some good Southern food. Thank you! read more

I went to here during dinner time. Me and my friends did not have a reservation so we did have to wait a little bit before being seated. We felt that the restaurant was a little small and crowded as there was just a lot of people there but overall it didn't hinder us from having a decent experience from the table we were set at. The decor inside was very cute and cozy. Looking from left to right in the picture I'm adding with my review, my friend ordered the fried chicken which came with mac & cheese, corn bread, and collard greens. I ordered the low country linguine with a side of mac & cheese and my other friend ordered the salmon lafyette that came with mashed potatoes, and asparagus and they ordered a side of Mac & cheese. Overall, I enjoyed my meal (the low country linguine) but if I do go back, I definitely won't order it again. I feel like the flavors were just a little off and it wasn't the best but I did take it to go and finished it the next day. The mac & cheese was actually decent and I preferred it over my main dish of the linguine. My rating for experience : 7/10 read more

I noticed they have a cute boutique hotel and nail salon on the block. I definitely plan to stay there when I come back. The food was nothing short of delicious! I loveddddddd the mango preserves and that says a lot cause I don't like mango but this gave me like a sweet potatoes and baked apples taste! Would I be back? Absolutely! And the mimosas were good!

I stopped in here because I was intrigued with the New Orleans vibe. I love me some NOLA food! (Geaux, geaux, geaux!) The service was strange. There were at least 3 open tables when I arrived, but there was a line at the door. I thought maybe they were short staffed because the hostess wasn't seating anyone. Then the hostess disappeared. Servers started seating people, but not in any order. I got skipped and was like, "What's going on?" Anyway, the kitchen staff seemed to be on point because the food came out fairly fast, hot, and was nicely plated. Everyone at my table ordered the po boy platter, which is half a po boy sandwich, fries, and a cup of gumbo. The fries are skinny like McDonald's fries and have some lightly seasoned salt on them. The gumbo does taste like it's from NOLA. The rice on top is way overcooked for my taste. The bread on a po boy is very important. They got that right. It was a good sandwich, but not my favorite NOLA vibe. Everyone was really nice and polite, but didn't seem to know what was going on. The server didn't bring out spoons with the gumbo. When I asked for spoons, they only brought one. A great experience for me is: * lovely ambiance * attentive, but unobtrusive service * tasty, hot food- bonus if it looks good too * a warm, "hit the spot" feeling * the price feels like a good value I wanted to feel great leaving here. The service didn't match the price or ambiance. read more

I came down to Hampton to visit my bestie for the weekend. We came to Mango Mangeaux for lunch on a Friday. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. The restaurant is beautiful! The service is also a 10/10. I started off with the Mango Electric Lemonade. It was so good. A nice balance and not to sweet. 10/10. I also tried the Brown Sugar Baby. 8/10. I liked the lemonade better even though I prefer brown over white. For my entree I got the Chesapeake Benedict. I subbed the poached eggs for scrambled eggs with cheese. That's usually my go-do. It was very hearty and flavorful. It came with a side of fruit and Mango Mango fruit dip. It was delicious! 10/10. When I'm back in the area, I'll be back! read more

Finally. After like years of this being on the brunch list, today we made it after a 5k in nearby Newport News. We rolled up around 9:30 or so and found no wait whatsoever and plenty of tables inside available for us to choose from. The patio was already full as the day is beautiful and sunny and not too hot. They have nice, clean and large his and hers bathrooms with single use only in the hallway. The decor inside is classy and elegant. Our server was efficient and very friendly and explained to us about their small business empire in town with a spa and b&b across the street and event spaces as well as this restaurant. Fabulous. Love that their business is thriving here. We chose to order the croissant basket which comes with three warm and fresh croissants with mango butter, mango jam and mango cream. YUM. I mean Y-U-M! We inhaled them. Better than expected and all three were wonderful with these light, flaky and warm fresh croissants. My husband and I split the skillet dish with eggs over easy, potatoes, grits, bacon, sausage and Texas toast with more mango jam and a parfait. Both were great and portions were just right. The yogurt was a bit too sweet for me and just swallowed whole the granola with just 3 blackberries on top so that wasn't my fav but overall everything was delicious. A very clean spot and well-run with excellent service. Our waitress did a great job. Will come back for dinner next time I'm nearby! I saw several yummy lunch and dinner items I'd like to try and the chicken and waffles that kept coming past our table looked wonderful! read more

What was explained to me by my hostess was that this establishment embodies cuisines of 3 different styles of cooking...french, creole, and neosoul. I found this quiet interesting because I have yet to discover a place that actually pulls off a neosoul menu. For those of you who don't know, Neosoul is a form or music however, it is also defined as a new kind of cooking, sort of a spinoff of the original Soul Food that brings all the flavors to the plate but slashes the fat and calories. In my opinion, Mango Mangeaux has perfected this niche as well as create an atmosphere that is a new age asthetic for Neo Soul with their décor and drink choices. The interior is very Posh making it attractive and hip. The drink choices were not only beautiful to the eye but bursting with combinations of flavors. I love mimosas and was suggested by my hostess a Dusse which had 2 different fruit flavors which was divine. For My meal I aimed for something light and ended up choosing the Magnolia Shrimp & Grits which took me by surprise in a good way. Compared to the old fashioned shrimp & grits this was a flavorful delicious treat. The dish still had pan seared shrimp but was also seared with Virginia ham in a lemon butter sauce, topped with smoked gouda cheese and crispy fried onions. (Ya let that sink in) Definitely an interesting and worthy establishment to try if you have been looking for something unique. I look forward to coming back to try there brunch. read more

Myself and two friends visited on a Thursday around 11am. Parallel parking on the street is available but can be hard to come by so I recommend parking in the free lot behind the restaurant, plenty of spaces back there. They have a beautiful back entrance and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating seemed to be closed though, probably due to staffing shortage but I assume it's open on the weekends during their busy brunch. We entered through the back, it's kind of awkward to walk through the whole restaurant to get to the front to be seated. We waited for 5+ minutes without really being acknowledged. Finally we were seated and ordered drinks and the croissant basket. They were unfortunately out of the Mango Peach Sangria so I ordered the Mango Breeze. We ordered our food when the drinks were brought out and I thought it was kind of weird that they don't allow substitutions. For instance, my friend got the crab Benedict which comes with a side of fruit. She asked if she could sub potatoes instead and they said no. I just feel like that's an easy substitute that if they needed to they could up charge and both parties would be happy. Unfortunately our croissant basket didn't come out until maybe 5 minutes after our food which was weird since we ordered it beforehand. It was pretty good though, I was able to try the mango preserves that they are known for. But for $10..... not sure if I would order again. For my meal I got the Two Up Two Down which had 2 slices of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, 2 pieces of cinnamon French toast, and 2 eggs. For $16 it didn't look like much. The French toast was yummy but everything else was pretty plain so I can't really justify the price. My friends got the fried chicken and French toast and the crab Benedict. Both liked theirs but said the fried chicken was kind of small since they only included one piece with the French toast. Overall, service was lacking but they have signs on the tables asking for patience and grace while they are short staffed. I can't imagine coming here on a busy weekend for brunch. It would probably take foreverrrrrr. There are just a lot of little things they need to work on that would make a difference such as making sure there are enough syrup bottles for each table because when we visited we didn't have on our table so the waitress had to shuffle them between tables. A restaurant that is heavy on breakfast with French toast should have one on each table.. Our waitress Tatiana was nice but it seemed like she was also the bartender and had a lot on her plate. I probably wouldn't make the trip across the water to try this place out again based on our experience today. I mean it was a weekday in between breakfast and lunch time and we had numerous hiccups throughout our meal. I can't really justify the prices either. It is a very nice atmosphere but I wasn't impressed otherwise. read more
