My family and I had a great time! There was so much things and activities to do with the kids! Live entertainment and so on. But can I be honest, it was the food for me! It was sooooooo darn good! Graham and Rollins Seafood was where we decided to dine! It was so many food trucks to choose from but again my sister insisted to give it a try! My oh my...what a great choice! The seafood platter was huge. Two of us shared a platter and we still had leftovers. I plan on going every year; it was so worth the drive! Until next time...

You could easily spend $100 here if you try every vendor - and that's just the food trucks! The staff at the ticket tents were absolutely lovely. There's a lot of entertainment for kids throughout the day which is great if you need to keep the little ones entertained. I came with my husband and we shared three dishes. I was hoping to see more cultures in the community represented, but sadly this was not the case. There are some amazing food trucks in the HRVA area, so I was excited for this event, but a little disappointed that certain trucks, for example, representing "Latin" food included more American classics like hot dogs and cheese burgers, than actual Latin food. Not impressed. The lumpia from Lorma's kitchenette was a great appetizer and a tasty gateway to be ready to try signature items from each food truck. 5 pieces of lumpia for $6 is pretty fair, and they tasted good - win! We tried the lamb gyro and dolmades from The Grapevine Italian & Greek food truck which was pretty decent! The dolmades were very oily but tasted great, as did the fresh tzatziki to dunk the pita bread in. The gyro wasn't bad, I've had better, but $17 for 2 items was pretty steep.

    Alcohol and Cinco de Mayo on the same day !!! Why of course it's a must !!!! Oh yeah !!!…read moreThe 7th Annual Craft Beer Festival was represented well with 23 different breweries from all over Virginia, each bringing 2-3, beers and ciders. As you went from tent to tent enjoying the different beers and ciders in your new free glass that was given to you at the entrance. You were being entertained by "Hey Hey Hooligan " a great band that played many favorites and some originals of their own. Food trucks were also available for your eating pleasure. My choice was ! ARROZ ! Choices of Avocado, Organic Steak, Organic Chicken in a bowl, burrito, or salad. Delicious !!! Sly Clyde Ciderworks had two ciders that were great ( Submersive, Cut & Run ) Submersive (Apple Cider) was by far my favorite Though it rained on and off later in the afternoon, the beer festival continued to be a success, and from what I was told it keeps getting bigger year after year. Looking forward to next years event with good drinks, good food, and great friends !!! Cheers !!!

    "Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world"…read moreKaiser Wilhelm Me, this woman loves beer! I was blessed by the Yelp gods and was chosen for a free ticket to 7th Annual, Mariners' Craft Beer Festival last Sunday. The event is held in Newport News at The Mariners' Museum and Park. This was my first time attending and didnt know what to really expect. Upon entry, you receive a wrist band and sample glass. The event featured over 21+ beer and Cider vendors from all around Virginia. Was a great way to try some regional beers without even leaving the Hampton Roads area! I even ran into my favorite fellow Yelper, Dago! Surprisingly my favorite and most unique tasting of the day was cider and not beer. My top favorite was from Larry's Lemonade. They offered an original and pink. The two mixed together was SO good and sneaky because it's just like regular lemonade but with alcohol! Others favorite ciders were from Sly Clyde Ciderworks (Submersive) and Bold Rocks (Blackberry). Most all vendors we happy to inform you on their beers/ciders and offer a sticker for keeps. In addition to beverage tasting there was a live band, delish food trucks and plenty of prime people watching. Overall this was an awesome event that I was happy to have gotten to experience. Cheers!

    Having attended NekoCon in Hampton, Virginia multiple times, including this year's event (October…read more31-November 2, 2025). I can say it's a long-running convention that consistently offers a family-friendly, inclusive space to celebrate anime, gaming, and fandom culture. Whether you're a die-hard anime fan, a casual gamer, or just curious about the community, NekoCon delivers a fantastic weekend experience. The main venue, the Hampton Roads Convention Center, completely transforms for the event, and the Embassy Suites next door adds to the fun with themed experiences like the Maid Café. The con features panels, gaming tournaments, cosplay contests, and more -- with programming that runs nearly nonstop from morning to the early hours (around 10 a.m. to 4 a.m.!). One of my favorite parts is the evening dances/raves, where local DJs spin everything from unique remixes to nostalgic throwbacks that make the dance floor come alive. The only drawback is the lack of food and drink options during the late-night parties. The Vendor Hall and Artists Alley are packed with creativity -- from handmade crafts and original artwork to rare merch and interactive booths. This year featured lots of Japanese-inspired fashion (I even scored a great pair of platform sneakers!) and standout vendors like Surreal Makeup, which is absolutely worth checking out on social media. As with most conventions, food and drinks inside can be a bit pricey, so I recommend bringing a snack or water bottle. One area for improvement would be adding more accessible water stations, but overall, I've noticed the food options and seating areas have improved each year -- a great sign that NekoCon continues to evolve and grow.

The conference staff were in a great mood and very helpful. They explained that this this conference included people interested in Comicon, and video games, cartoons, etc. It was impressive to see the costumes and watching skits outside the venue. The activities thst they included were meet and greets with celebrities, well known characters, make-up clinics, costuming workshops and participants were very helpful to us and each other. The hotels and restaurants in the area were very welcoming to the crowds. Visitors came from California, Texas, Florida, etc. I wish that it had more parts of the venue open to visitors but I understand the need to accommodate paying participants first. I will visit next year!

    History Bites - Free drink with ticket

    It was time for the third annual History Bites during Battle of Hampton Roads Weekend at Mariners'…read moreMuseum, and I was excited to meet Honest Abe and eat some good food! This was a special event, combining food with history. "Top restaurants and caterers in Hampton Roads will compete in a food-tasting event of historic proportions. The contestants will prepare a selection of traditional 19th century dishes representing the North, the South and the Navy, preparing their best interpretations of dishes" (http://www.marinersmuseum.org/event/history-bites/). The details: The ticket got you into the event, allowing you to eat as much as you wanted (Piggy Town--woohoo!) and a ticket for one alcoholic drink (beer, wine or spiked lemonade). You were free to walk around, table to table, trying all of the selections from the contestants. There were some tables -some real large, sit-down tables and some small, tall tables for standing- but they were filled up pretty quickly. I was alone, but if I had a partner, I would have kept one person at a table, and the other go around and grab food. Once you finished eating all of the items, you needed to pick just ONE selection on the ballot. The Goose Grey- The first item I tried was The Goose Grey's Grandma's Bean Soup and Plum Cobbler. Unfortunately, these were probably some of my least favorites. The "soup" needed seasoning real bad and the cobbler was dry and disappointing. Not a good start to the event. Soup/Cobbler 2*/3* Harpoon Larry's- Fried Clams and Apple Custard were from Harpoon Larry's and those clams were awesome! They served them on top of a lemon aioli and in a sea shell--so cool! Delicious and one of my top three favorites. The Apple Custard ended up being kind of like a shot, and added some brandy in a cup. It was okay, but not my thing. 5*/3* Ms. Mary's Catering- To Make Olla (a Spanish-type soup) and Common Cheesecake were next up for my taste buds. The soup was good, had several types of meat, good flavor with some spice and sweet, and overall was tasty. The cheesecake didn't really work for me. Something about it had an odd flavor. Olla/Cheesecake 4*/3* Smoke BBQ- To Roast a Pig and Johnnycakes and their plate reminded me of Thanksgiving. The pork came out like pulled pork without the sauce--moist and good flavor. It was served with some stuffing that I liked, and a dense Johnnycake, drizzled with molasses. I really enjoyed their plate, and probably was my third favorite restaurant overall. 4* The Catering Co.- 1845 Chicken Salad and Same Potatoes Salad according to the ballot, but they also served some baked beans with it. The salad tasted like deviled eggs--kind of different, but I liked it. The Potatoes Salad had no flavor, but the beans were really good. Chicken Salad/Potatoes Salad 3*/2* The Chamberlin- Fried Salt Pork and Trifle were two of my top three favorites. The Fried Salt Pork reminded me pork belly--nice and crispy and to die for! It was served on top of puréed butternut squash and topped with an apple slaw. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was outstanding. It was the only item I went back for seconds. The trifle was delicious, too, and easily the best dessert there. Pork/Trifle 5*/4* Encore- Chicken Salad and Bounce--I'm sorry to say that I only tried Bounce. I was getting full at that point and the chicken salad didn't seem appealing to me. But, I'd heard that Bounce was amazing and I needed to try it. It was like a cherry cordial, warm and inviting. Very good. 4* Fin- Clam Chowder and Sweet Potato Biscuits was my last trip to the tables. While the "chowder" was very flavorful, it didn't seem chowder-like to me. Not thick at all. Maybe they tried to thin it out and stretch it? It also was cold--much like most of the items and I like my food hot. I understand that is probably difficult--just sayin'. The biscuit was heavy, but I'm comparing to Blue's amazing sweet potatoes that I tried last week. 3*/3* Schlesingers/Opus 9- Macaroni Pudding and Ginger Beer were their entries, and sadly I didn't try either. Their table was the only one I didn't get to visit. I am not a big fan of rice/bread pudding and the idea of Macaroni Pudding did not excite me. However, I did talk to a lady and it was her favorite of the night. Now I wish I had tried it! My Picks: 1st The Chamberlin's Fried Salt Pork 2nd Harpoon Larry's Fried Clams 3rd The Chamberlin's Trifle Honorable Mention Smoke BBQ's To Roast a Pig I had a great time, and can't wait to find out who the winners were since I left before they were announced. Overall, it was a fun event, but it was very crowded in there! Too bad they couldn't use a larger room and spread out. All of the contestants were fabulous dealing with the people, and so cool to be held at a museum. Huzzah!

    I won tickets for the 2019 History Bites event and am so glad that I attended. I tried about 97% of…read morethe dishes and loved 75% of them. That's a lot of math lol. My favorite item, by far, was the lemon pudding. It tasted like a lemon cornbread with whipped cream. It was so good, I tried to find a recipe on Pinterest- with no luck. Other dishes that stood out were the asparagus soup (tasted like a cream of broccoli) and an apple fritter which changed my WHOLE understanding of what a good fritter should taste like (this is a compliment). Usually fritters I've tried are hard and overly sweet. The texture of the fritter was more like a donut and absolutely divine. As you can tell from my photo, the best part of the night was taking a pic with Abe! Had a great time and hope to attend next year.
