Reviews for Schooners Grill in Newport News, VA
Huge portion sizes and happy hour is a good deal. The appetizers are meals in themselves they are so big. Food is good all... around. They also have an outdoor bar area for those that like to drink and/or dine outside. Read more
Haven?t been here since Covid started. I did see a couple bad reviews but was confident we would be ok? NOPE. Nachos took nearly... an hour to make it to our table. We were told ?one of the ovens were down?. One order of nachos was great, but my in-laws weresuper burnt. The runner should have tossed them. Had to wait a bit for the replacement batch. Second batch was much better. Soeverything is ok now, right? NOPE. I read a few other reviews mentioning a fly problem. Welp? it is a problem. Didn?t get totake one drink out of the beer before not one fly but two decided they wanted to try the black & tan. Good news is, service wasgreat. Honestly felt bad for the young girl. A star for the service & a star for most of the meal being good. Read more
Hubby picked this spot for a Saturday lunch and it was perfect. We sat in their covered seating area (that is important to us... because we are pale). I am not a big drinker, but when our waitress read the drink of the day, it sounded delicious and it was!It was mocha raspberry iced coffee with Bailey's and vodka as well as Cordial. It went down smooth. Hubby had the BLT with aside of green beans and I had the grilled salmon filet with a side of pasta salad. Both were amazing!! The BLT had extra B andthe Salmon was grilled to perfection. Both sandwiches were falling apart and messy to eat, which I believe is a sign of a goodsandwich. Our waitress Fae was sweet and attentive. And she gets extra points for calling me beautiful. We are going to try thisplace out for dinner while we are here too!! Read more
The salmon was pretty good! I was a bit hesitant with the brown mashed potatoes, but they were better than I expected. This... meal was priced very well! $20 for 2 pieces of salmon!! Go get you some! Read more
Severely disappointed. After my fav. hole in the wall place Yanna?s closed in town, I was left googling for the next best thing.... This is NOT it. If you want real Greek gyro meat (lamb/beef) skip this place. I got a mix plate of bland chicken and pork (whichthey claimed to be gyro) that tasted like eating carnitas. Upon sending the entire dish back, uneaten I ordered a pizza.Mediocre, and bland. The real disappointment came at the time of check out. The manager on site, Sam, decided that I was liablefor the full charge of my first order though the description of gyro meat did not specify that it was pork. She proceeded topoint to other entres which did, but not the particular one I ordered. I would say that it wouldn?t normally be a big deal;however, it is a religious preference. Not to mention, that it would?ve been a greater problem and risk if I had an actualallergy. I?m hoping to reach out to the owners, in hopes to understand as to why they serve pork instead of traditional lamb,and to make them aware that their management and kitchen leave something to be desired.

Food was delicious as usual. Good vibe, good service. I had the grilled fish and chips. The fish is definitely real. I had to... pull a bone out. Lol. The shrimp were good a little bit to much breading for me, but still delicious. Read more
Everything about my experience here was great! The service was on point, friendly, and quick. I got the salmon and it was... perfectly blackened, medium rare, and very flavorful. The garlic asparagus was also very well done. Go enjoy a great meal! Read more
This is an excellent restaurant with great food and an outstanding staff! I ate lunch on Tuesday and had the Club sandwich with... fries. Quality of the sandwich and fries were great - ate half of it and took the rest home. Our waiter (Chris) wasoutstanding - he was friendly, courteous and fast. His sense of humor and manner added to the very positive experience we had. Great restaurant, would recommend to anyone! Read more
