What a fortuitous find! My wife and I discovered this gem by accident as we finished some shopping…read morein Chesapeake. I ordered the Texas Burger with fries and my wife ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger. Both orders were delivered with efficient speed and both the fries and the burgers were piping hot upon arrival! My Texas Burger was absolutely delicious and I went through that thing like a hot knife through butter! My wife and I both agreed we had not had burgers this good in quite some time! The services was excellent! We will definitely be back to Winston's Café!

Winston's Cafe is located in the Crossways Shopping Center in Chesapeake. It is near the…read moreintersection with Greenbrier Pkwy and Eden Way N. It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.

Pretty good happy hour!…read more I've been here numerous times before tonight but I must say it's been a long minute since I've dined here. My husbae and I decided to grab a quick meal before heading to Friday night lights. The game is minutes away so this was the perfect spot. We sat at the bar inside the actual restaurant and was greeted immediately. We ordered a pinot noir which is featured at 3.50 from 5 to 8p during happy hour and my husbae ordered his usual Crown and Sprite. Drinks...all good! We kept our meal super light... An order of cheesesteak bombs and curly fries. Everything was delish and the bartender mentioned our choice was a popular item... the cheesesteak eggrolls. While they were good I wouldn't be upset if they had just a tad bit more of seasoning. Nevertheless the happy hour menu includes a lot to choose from. One is sure to find something worth trying. Plenty of parking. Plenty of space indoors. Outdoor and indoor dining. I recommend you give them a try. Have fun and enjoy life:)

I simply just wasnt paying attention but I still wouldn't talk to a person who made an honest mistake like that. maybe it's not that serious but I definitely felt embarrassed and I don't think I'll be back because of this.

So, I was hopeful that the WXYZ lounge and bar in Chesapeake would be similar and provide a great atmosphere to get together for a fun, chill hangout with our friends. We were not disappointed. There was ample seating and a large table where we were able to share a meal and play board games. The lounge has games in the lobby area, which we weren't expecting, but was nice to see. We had brought our own games. My friend ordered a mocktail and enjoyed it. The four of us ordered chicken buffalo dip and fish and chips to share. I couldn't eat the chicken buffalo dip because I have a dairy allergy, but everyone said it was good. I did really enjoy the fish and chips. The fries were hot, thick, and well seasoned. The cod was very tasty as well, the skin was perfectly crispy but the meat was tender inside. While we didn't take pictures of the menu this time, I took a look at the menu online and there are some options listed on the website that were not printed on the physical menus we saw, but for what was the same the prices matched. The fish and chips isn't on the website but was on the physical menu and was affordable (two pieces or cod and ample fries). Our server (also the bartender) was nice and provided good service. The hours that they're open make it a great hangout spot for Friday nights and weekends. The restrooms are clean. The noise level was moderate and fine. We definitely recommend for hanging out with friends and will be coming back in the future.

Always a great time rain or shine!…read more I don't even know how long this series has been going on, but I will take a guess and say at least a decade! For as long as I can remember, the city of Portsmouth (Old Towne area) hosts 'Sunset Thursdays' starting in June or July. Every Thursday a different band, usually local is featured and starts entertaining the crowd at 6pm. It is free to sit and listen. But bring some cash, vendors are on site. And if none of the vendors interest you, the site this year is walking distance to downtown, the High Street area. This street offers plenty to eat - sit down and take out options. Or if you are feeling the need, pack a bag and bring your own food and drink. I have been out on Thursdays to several events and each time is a treat! Bands of all genres are featured. See the list for this year - https://portsvaevents.com/event/sunset-thursdays-2022/2022-07-07/ In case link does not work - this is line up for 2022: June 16th RaJazz (R&B, Jazz) June 23rd Island Boy (Hard Rock, Country, Funk) June 30th Slapnation (Rock, Jazz, Reggae) July 7th The Original Rhondels (Beach, 70's, 80's) July 14th Michael Clark Band (Rock, R&B, Disco) July 21st BrassWind (Beach, Pop, Motown, R&B, Rock, Funk, Soul) July 28th TFC Band (Motown, Soul, R&B, Funk, Oldies, Beach) August 4th Soul Intent (Beach, 70s, 80s & Rock) August 11th Better By Tuesday (R&B, Jazz, Funk) August 18th 2nd Wynd (R&B, Reggae, Jazz, Rock) August 25th J & The Band (Top 40, Classic Rock, Beach, Funk, Oldies) September 1st Revelation (R&B, Rock, Funk, Reggae) September 8th Hot Cakes (Country, Rock, 70's, 80's, 90's) If you love live music, you should definitely come out and enjoy. Bring your own lawn chair because chairs are not provided or if you are fortunate enough, pull up in your boat or jet ski and listen to the sounds from the water view. Such a great time for the young and old. Parking...garages are nearby and street parking is available. Have fun and enjoy life :)
