Stopped here during a road trip thru VA. Not being familiar with area it was a little trying finding this place with GPS. Not a very flashy building during the day and was hard to see building while driving up street. Pleanty of parking in a gravel/sandy lot with some pot holes filled with rain water. There is handicap parking with a ramp next to front door. Was greeted and seated immediately by Raven which took our drink order of a water and a sweet tea. There is a full bar with some tap beers. Raven gave us several minutes to look over menu before returning and answering a few questions. I was interested in wings which Raven pointed out were on special this Wednesday at $1 each, minimum of 10. Cheaper than the plate of 8 I was going to order. I went for this with a side of onion rings. My wife ordered the Freedom Philly with cole slaw. The food came out in good time served in red plastic baskets lined with paper. My wife enjoyed her philly and the slaw which is mayonaise based and seasoned well to our liking. The smoked wings came out hot and seasoned with medium wing sauce as requested. The chicken wings are some of the larger ones I have ever been served. My onion rings came out hot, lightly battered and tasting good. At 1:30 in middle of week there were only a few other tables occupied. Raven was the only server and was maintaining service well. She came back and checked on us several times. If we are in area again this could be a stop. read more

Had a great experience here. Nice atmosphere and we were greeted and seated immediately. Server was friendly and attentive, and made small talk conversation with us. She also gave suggestions. BBQ was a little dry, but the fries were amazing. Coleslaw was pretty good. Nice sized portions, A good amount of seating here. I would go back and try something else just because they have a large selection of food. Give it a try! read more

Food is good - fish n chips plus the burgers n fries are excellent-- only negative is the parking lot w/ severe pot holes. Load of rock would make it more comfortable as now you cant avoid the holes. read more

Just stopped in for some apps and a couple drinks. Friendly staff and food was good. Will be back.

Lots of food for a good price. Lots of meat on the ribs, BBQ sauce was good, cole slaw good, service was fine, tea was weak. Diner atmosphere. read more

The food is always delicious no matter what you order. Portions are large. Service is friendly and fast. It's a relaxed atmosphere so family friendly or a good place to meet up with friends. read more

The first two times I ate there the seafood platter was so good that I ordered it both times. The atmosphere was cozy comfortable and everyone was really friendly. My third trip I got a take-out order of their fish and chips and oh my gosh was it delicious! I will go back again and again as often as I can! read more

We haven't been to Patriots Grill for quite a few years. Like other local restaurants you can the economy has taken a toll here as well. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was not busy at all. We all had the fish and chips. The fries were warm, and not hot and crispy (I specifically asked for them to be crispy). The fish and slaw was good. My husband had the Mac n cheese and it was good. Pay attention to the check...a 20% gratuity was automatically added. My husband had 2 beers with his dinner and they were $4 each. He decided to have another before we left and it was $5.39. Probably added another gratuity to the beer as well.... We may or may not go back....time will tell. Service was subpar. read more

We got lunch on a Thursday around noon and were worried at first to see no cars in the parking lot. It didn't mean a thing - the service and food were fantastic! Buffalo chicken wrap was the perfect size and hand cut fries are my favorite. read more

The fish and chips were undoubtably the best we ever had. That is a bold statement, but so true. Suggest giving them a try. The service was courteous and always present when needed. Recommend giving this place a try when in the area. You won't regret it. read more

Has great food and a super friendly business owner- you can also find Sinfully Good by Fluffy Ninjas cupcakes in this location -- the fish and chips are my favorite from this restaurant!! read more

Great family atmosphere with a hometown feel and perfect staple of draft beers. The music is perfectly suited for both a casual bar and a family restaurant. The menu offers a wide range of food you'd expect in a bar, but also delicious looking main matters. No one is living this restraint hungry. The waitstaff is very friendly and responsive. I'm fortunate to have found this place. Will be back. read more

Rated well but weak on execution Glad the restaurant was open on Labor Day as many of its competitors were taking the holiday off. Very strong influence of the Irish in decor although all American BBQ and Burgers throughout the menu. Was cautious about going in with the very rustic, very understated entrance. Many signs on alternate entrances to the restaurant pointed to one door by the tumbleweeds. Very pleasant greeting at the door by the hosted and we drew a very nice new server. Seemed less than confident although pulled it off without a hitch. The best part? Monday's is burger day with all burgers prices at 7.50 instead of 11 and above. Instructions on the menu was another warning sign that stated all burgers cooked to 165. We asked for med rare and got well done. Guess they were serious about the 165. read more

Excellent barbecue at this restaurant! It's not a typical southern barbecue joint.. this place has a little Irish flair. There's a great mix of different items on the menu. We all got wings as an app. These weren't anything special, but were good none the less. For my meal (my mom had this as well), I ordered the you pick two basket. They allowed me to order 1/2 rack of ribs and the crab cake. It came with 2 sides.. I ended up ordering fries and cole slaw. The ribs were awesome and were falling off the bone. The crab cake was also large and filling. The fries are more shoestring fry style and were great. My sister and dad ordered burgers which both looked great and came with fries. And my sister's boyfriend ordered the pick 2 basket with shrimp and crab cakes. You do have to peel your own shrimp here, which was a reason why I ordered the ribs/crab cake option. Despite being busy, the food came out pretty quickly. The service was also very attentive. There was also live music that evening, but we opted to sit in the dining room where it was a bit more quiet. Very happy with the food here and this is definitely a place my family and I would return to when we visit Virginia! read more

Cold beer, terrible food. That's the best way to describe the place. Crab bites were gross, almost wet? Why were there raisins but no flavor in the cole slaw? Why are their "famous fries" frozen shoe string with no seasoning? Why don't they change their fry oil? Why are the ribs dry like they were smoked last week? Why was the crab cake actually a grease patty? Why was the applesauce HOT? Like actually - HOT? Why was the pulled pork dry and old? Why were the steamed shrimp so undercooked they'd bounce? Like...everything terrible. Why didn't the server ask how our food was, once? Why wasn't she curious that almost all of our food went back - almost all, only tasted each item - before she handed us a check for over $70? What a waste. Nice location, the WORST food and most inept service. Will never try again. read more

Patriots Grill - Watery, greasy crab bites. Yuck. - Barbeque Near Me - Gloucester, Virginia

Best chicken tenders of my life and great service!!! The burger was delicious as well! Would definitely go again!

The hamburgers are cooked well done, emphasis on well. We asked that the hamburgers not be cooked so long, so they weren't so chewy. They were unable to oblige. We stopped going here after a couple of times. read more

My husband had the wings and pull pork. He said the wings where outstanding and Mac and cheese homemade. Had apple pie apple sauce it was so good. I had a BLT was good. I also got a pumpkin spice cupcake. We had great service. The place was very clean and very nice husband watch the football game not loud at all. They have a bar also. We differently we come again. read more

My wife and I had the worst service ever this evening. First thing is we order drinks. Wife orders vodka, tonic w/ a twist of lime.l, l order a bloody Mary ( I've had them there before and they were awesome) but I'm told sorry, we don't have bloody Mary mixer. Ok, I'll have a bourbon and coke instead, sorry out of bourbon. We do have Jim Beam. So how's about a rum and coke then, sorry we're out of Coke but we have Pepsi. Fine I'll have a Pepsi and rum. The wife's drink also didn't come with a lime. We were told sorry we are out of limes also. SMH We order three appetizers and a salad and inform the waitress We are going to share. Once the food is ready she brings it out with only one plate for the two of us. We finally had to flag her down and asked for another plate. During our meal never once did the waitress check on us to see if we needed anything such as more napkins, water, dessert or drinks etc. Once we were finished with our meal we sat there for 5 minutes while the waitress talked to the table behind us. (The only table in the restaurant other than us) I finally had to turn around and ask for our check. I also asked the waitress if they still gave a veterans discount and she said yes sir. When we got our bill our veterans discount was 78 cents from $56. As a veteran, l found that to be an insult. Just say no, sorry we don't instead Needless to say she did not get a 20% tip and we will more than likely not be going back there again. read more

Usually get the wings and fries every other week. They have always been spot on ( see my other reviews). Last nights to go order I would hate to say, was not so good. Wings were like eating leather. Tough and dry. Thank goodness for the generous helpings of wing sauce. Not sure what the issue was. Will be back but not anytime soon. read more

the food was good but too damn greesy the tables weren't clean I could barely the apple sauce the damn apple sauce was hot and burned my throat not coming back read more

Couldn't get waited on. We went in and we're seated. Finally asked the bar tender for menus and she was rude. She said they were low on them and asked a waitress to get us some. She did but never came to get our order. Others came in and got waited on. We are a clean presentable middle aged couple. We won't be back. read more

Best food I've tasted in a long time. This is a hidden gem! The seafood was fresh and they had a lot of other items on the menu so anyone could enjoy. read more

Great service, kid friendly, huge portions. Ribs were good, could have had more sauce, but for calorie purposes were perfect. The fries were thin and crispy. The chicken basket could have fed two people no problem. The smoked wings were very good and the onion rings and fries pickles were excellent. The manager and wait staff were kind and accommodating. Location is convincer for those traveling long distances and not wanting to go far off the highway. Perfect stop for lunch read more

Very good place to eat. Drafts were down but enough bottles to not go thirsty. Burgers were very good. Wings also looked excellent and the atmosphere was pretty awesome as well. Highly recommended. read more

I've ate here several times before but just now am writing a review. One of a few spots that I just keep coming back to. The staff is amazing. Super friendly!!! The food is great too. You can't go wrong with their burgers or smoked chicken wings. Coleslaw is great tasting, I'm always on the hunt for good tasting coleslaw and this place doesn't disappoint. Their desserts are baked to order so if you're in the mood for dessert you might want to order ahead they take about 12-15 minutes to come out. read more

Patriots Grill was suggested by one of my wife's co-workers and we never have really ate anything in the Gloucester area before. We are foodies/Yelpers and will travel for good eats. My wife had the Seafood Trio which included: Crab Cakes, Beer Batter Cod, Old Bay Steamed Shrimp and had Mac & Cheese along with Fries as a side. Everything was good and actually had good portion size as well. I had the Ribs and Wings Combo with the coleslaw as a side. Everything I had was excellent as well. Very clean place and the wait staff is very attentive not just to us, but for everyone that came in. read more

Amazing burgers! Generous portions, good service!

I have been here a couple of times before and enjoyed the food and found the service to be good. This time I was sadly disappointed. From the lackluster greeting when we entered to the inattentive service, this dining experience was less than pleasant. The food was okay, but I couldn't say it was well prepared. The whole restaurant had sort of a hectic feeling to it, although there weren't really that many customers. They seem to be out of a lot of things. But the worst was the service. I could not recommend. read more

We always enjoy going to Patriots grill! Atmosphere is low key, Fish and Chips are delicious, and the waitresses are always so attentive! Ashton & Michelle are top notch! read more

Yummy shrimp baskets. Menu looked good but we both chose the shrimp. Very friendly staff. Thanks for a nice lunch

The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Nice atmosphere and great value for your money. I highly recommend the Patriots Grill! read more

I was rattled on receiving my check. On "wing night", I had two drafts and 10 wings.. the bill was $25. WHACK! My app & beers would only warrant such a price with a waterfront view or the like. I was in a double-wide. As for the service... somewhat disinterested. The food... fine; not big wings for 80¢/ea as the special. Finale... I got a " no problem" from the barkeep. Advice: while it disurbs me to promote a chain over an independent go to Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday instead of Patriot Grill. BTW: I asked for celery with my wings. For an xtra $1 I got two pieces of celery. Each was not even 2" in length. ...and that cost extra! Drafts were $6.50 ea. I wish I had photo'd the meal/app for you! read more

Absolutely worst food I've have being in Virginia. Fried pickles were soggy and cooked with dirty oil. Seafood trio was not impressive. Crab cake was mushy and had no texture, shrimp were not deveined and was told they only do that when used for a sandwich. Deveined shrimp is cooking 101. The cod was ok as were the onion rings. Mac n cheese lacked flavor. Not the place I was hoping for my last night here. read more

My wife and I really enjoy dining here. The food is always awesome - which I do have to mention that I almost always get the BBQ. The staff there - especially the owner, Patrick, is very friendly and attentive. It's a fun place overall and we often drive the 15 miles just to enjoy the food and sometimes music. The only thing that'd make this place better is a more varied menu. read more

Very clean & everyone is very friendly. We stopped in to check it out, just going to have a beer- greeted right away, went to bathroom , it was very clean. Went to bar, nice beer selection, ordered food since the bathroom was clean. The appetizer Southern Belle Fries were great, the smoked wings were awesome! We will be back. Bartender Ryan, thanks for all your suggestions! read more
