Phoenix Restaurant & Lounge

Not sure what's u with the negative reviews; but I came here as a recommendation from a friend of a friend. A solo traveler whines hungry and wanted to drink and have a good time; I sat at the bar and service was five star! Potentially moving here soon and thus will be a regular spot for me. Not really feeling the $20 cover charge on Friday but it is what it is ‍

This is place is wings and fish season well plus crunchy. Everything was a reasonable price next I will have to go during happy hour.

This was me and my wife's first time here. We were craving some soul food, and we came to the right place! All of the food was delicious!!! I'm very picky about my Mac n cheese, and it was sooooo good! The oxtails were huge and juicy and super flavorful! This is a hidden gem! Next I'll come later in the day or evening because it seems like a nice party place to eat good food at. Also they do Karaoke.

Fairly nice location in a shopping center with plenty of parking. Visited on a Tuesday for a birthday celebration during their karaoke night. Loved the amount of seating they had to include what I assume was VIP areas on the little couches. Karaoke MCs were great and kept the crowd alive. 3.5 stars rounded down to 3. My friends ordered drinks and it literally took a good 10 minutes when the bar wasn't even that crowded. Can only imagine on the weekend. Flagging someone down then waiting for them to run our card was the longest. Ordered a tequila sunrise and I honestly think they forgot the orange juice in it. I understand more bang for my buck but my goodness! Also, happy hour deals aren't as good as I thought. $7 for our drinks still instead of $10, I assume. Fries were pretty okay. Had a little problem with forgotten food that had to be situated.

I came on a Tuesday when they had karaoke for a friends birthday and it was a lot of fun. The drinks were good and so was the food. The reason it got 3 stars is because the bar tenders were so slow. And it wasn't crowded at all. I ordered a drink. Took 3 minutes to get it. Then had to wait FIVE MINUTES to get my card back. By the fine I got my card, my drink was almost empty. Very irritating.Also, happy hour wasn't the best when it comes to prices because the drinks are so small. And served in plastic cups. It was a nice time. Not my favorite.

Went for Karaoke and had a ball. The food was actually delicious. Mind you, I was a bit skeptical about the cabbage because it had other veggies in it but man was it good! Curry chicken was great, spicy as heck too and Mac n cheese was the bomb. I would go here again just to try different food. The server was nice and attentive. No complaints at all.

I had planned on having lunch there and after seeing that they "now serve soul food" it was or so I thought perfect timing!Came in at lunch time to empty restaurant[*insert red ] waitress and I assume cook sitting at a table.Ordered fried chicken with two sidesMy first choice Mac & cheese (out- strike one)Mashed potatoes (out - strike two)My choices for sweet potatoes and greens were clearly right out of the can.Chicken over cooked strike three.Would love to give them a second chance but will think twice before venturing back.BTW Menu doesn't list prices !!!

Terrible service & overpriced! They charge $400 for a bottle of Tito's. Bottles not even included with the purchase of a section. They ruined my friends birthday.

I'm new to the area so I tend to try different places I run while going about my daily life and this no different. It happens to be in the same shopping center as national wing chain... Anyway, we decided to give this place a try for lunch today... I'm guessing the 5 star chef was out today because all of my food was disgusting. I ordered fried pork chops, mac and cheese, yam, and collard greens. The pork chops are so hard and tough it's ridiculous, the there was NO seasoning on the pork chops themselves, the breading was weirdly sweet and was reminiscent of funnel cake batter as far as the taste. Half the breading had fallen off, not to mention they were swimming in a pool of something until my breading that fell off soaked most of it up. I think they used all the seasoning in the mac and cheese. It tastes as if the shaker top fell off the onion /garlic powder mid shake or something, but the pork chops could've definitely used some... I mean I clearly see there is cheese in this dish but I all I taste is onion/garlic powder, no cheese flavor whatsoever. Although I like the fact they didn't cook the greens to death, they're not seasoned well and they are a little spicy (for no reason). The yams are so nasty they don't even warrant a mention. Epic waste of money and time.

Best kept secret in Hampton Roads, tucked in a shopping center corner. Strong drinks and amazing Jamaican food
