AWESOME burgers.
Prices around and under $10/meal.
nice man! I am the daytime kitchen manager there, have been for the past 5 years. Glad you like it
on a side note, the owner is a car guy too. Daily drives an Audi Q7, owns a mint old school Porsche 911. Forget the year. He used to have a dope ass vw thing. The chef at the Norfolk location is a jeep guy too. There is a couple employees at mine with some clean cars too

I always like Catch 31 when we go to VA Beach from Richmond (but we stay at the Hilton so it's onsite and easy)
The food is ok...their brick oven pizzas are awesome (cheese or pepperoni)
Don't order the oyster (or waste your money) Po'Boy - it's served on toast and you only get four no thanks for a $10 sammich

Prices are a bit high for mixed drinks but I stick with Miller Lite or vodka tonics so my drink costs are low...the wife OTH different story $14 cosmos are a fucking joke

There was a Penny Lane pub down the street I forget the name but the ber selection is AWESOME ~191 beers and they have a pub club you can join to get your name on the wall

This restaurant has no business being in the good restaurants thread. I went to the Williamsburg location today. I won't be going back.
I got the chicken fajitas:
-chips & salsa: both are bland
- chicken - very bland, it's basically the chicken you get at chinese take out, minus all the chinese flavoring
- it only came with 3 fajita breads, which is enough to eat at most 1/2 of the meal. Granted they brought more when asked, but from what I understand they sometimes charge for this (I didn't get charged). Then again, who would want more of this thin hard bread? Here's an idea - serve the bread in a towel instead of aluminum foil so it doesn't go hard
- i'd be generous if I said they give you 1/2 teaspoon of sour cream. They give you 1/2 of one slice of a tomato, diced, with it.
- no guacamole, no cheese
- fajitas should be sizzling when they come to your table, not just fairly warm

Giving this restaurant 2 stars would be generous. The taste is about on par with if McDonald's sold chicken fajitas.

I would have preferred it if I simply lost my $18 on the ground. At least then it wouldn't have gone to the people who gave me this food.

I've been there twice and thought it was a nice restaurant with really good seafood. the service was good and the atmosphere was nice and quiet. I recommend the shrimp and scallop alfredo, crab dip is soo good, and the buffalo shrimp was really good too.[/LIST]

Name: Ricks Cheeseteaks
Location: 12842 Jefferson Avenue Newport News, VA 23608-3031
Number: (757) 968-5595

I have always been a huge fan of philly cheesesteaks but this place takes the cake. Hands down one of the best phillies I have ever had. One of my buddies that was born and raised in Philadelphia said that it was damn near up to par for what he would expect out of somewhere from home. They have many different kinds of phillies, hoagies, and various other types of food. For what you pay for, you get an enormous amount of food too. Probably going to eat there tonight to be honest.

Here is a superpages ad for it. Check out the reviews.. They are on the same page as me.
