Smitty's Better-Burger

First time here at this establishment that has been operating since 1956 in Hampton and had a good meal. Their cheeseburger lunch deal with fries and a soda is a great deal and very tasty. Food did not take too long and our server was very nice. Fun old school drive-in type establishment!

Ample parking!Had to get the signature Super Burger and small cole slaw.Curb service is awesome and sprinkled with a personal touch.Enjoy your meal in the car while parked! A great getaway for a peace and quiet lunch.

Really great experience! My wife and I went around 630, so we thought it was going to take a little while but were very happy and surprised with the quick service and delivery!Within a few minutes, the waitress came to our door side and we ordered food/drink. We both purchased the classic better burger and were very happy with it! I was very satisfied with the size of the burger; half expected a mediocre size burger. Will definitely be coming back to this local family owned business!

Finally, I made it over to Smittys Better Burger yesterday. I stumbled upon Smitty's a couple of years ago after doing some photography up in Poquoson and made a mental bookmark for when I was back in the area. I'm glad I did. Since I was already going to be in Hampton on an errand I added Smitty's to the list for lunch. Also, for those who don't know, Smitty's is an old drive-in burger stand located near the south gate of the Langly AFB. It's been owned and operated since 1956 by the Smith family.The awning next to the building was mostly full when I arrived however I was immediately able to find a parking space. Due to my parking location, near the front, and the rain, I was unable to see the posted menu. Within maybe two minutes a server was at my car window. I explained it was my first time there and didn't want to have her explain the menu in the rain and get soaked I just said can you give me a bacon cheeseburger and fries. She asked if I wanted the usual condiments, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, etc. I said yes. She also asked if I wanted a drink as well, and then off she went. Super fast and efficient. Less than 10 minutes later she came out with a bag and my drink. The cost was $9.13 before I generously tipped her and the transaction was over. I opened my bag and the fries were on top. Wrapped in wax paper, they were thick crinkle-cut kind and the portion was generous. The photo I'm including doesn't do it justice as I had probably eaten a 3rd of them before I remembered to take a picture. Next was the bacon cheeseburger, wrapped in foil paper. The burger was a tank. Full of condiments and a well-proportioned patty. Again the photo doesn't do it justice. This was a dense juicy burger that tasted wonderful. I enjoyed my lunch.Sadly due to the weather, I was unable to get out and take some photos of the location, however, there's already plenty to see on the restaurant's profile. After reading other reviews it seems that their onion rings are also held in high regard, so that will be on my list during a future visit. Another easy five-star visit.

You talk about mad waitresses fussing with customers. Attitude was so bad I decided to leave. I knew me being hungry would have turned into Hangry quick. Food I don't know. Ambiance needs some serious work. I know it's a staple in community but it could use some painting. To improve it get some people that wanna work with better attitudes.

I always wondered what the hype was about this place so boyfriend and I decided to check it out for lunch. You pull up and a waitress takes your order from your car. The prices are great and the quality of the food is amazing. I had the cheesesteak sub and he had the better burger. We then shared a chili cheese tater tots. Those were yummy! Somehow they managed to cook them perfectly crisp and they didn't get soggy from the chili and cheese. We will definitely go back. The atmosphere is retro and welcoming. Now I understand what the hype is about. And a huge shoutout to Cindy Lou. She was an absolutely great server.

By far the best burger spot in Newport News! The burgers taste super authentic along with the fries are great and not oily. The way the drive in is set up is very old school, they come take your order from your car and bring you your food so you don't even have to get out of your car! Cindy is a great server, she was super nice and welcoming and gave us the history on the burger spot. They also have a variety of food options other than burgers such a hot dogs, chili fries, & dinner plates! 10/10 recommend and would come back again!

This place took my by surprise my first bite. I was not expecting this. Fast but fresh! As this was my first time I was a little lost but it was easily explained by the friendly staff "Sit in your car and turn on your hazards and someone will be w you". They were friendly and fast. It almost feels like this place should be a drive in.

This place is nostalgic. The food is good. Not fancy, served in a manner from the past. The servers are knowledgeable and efficient.

Worth the drive over the HRBT. Don't judge a book by its cover.The burgers were juicy, well made and real meat. The fried chicken was ok, the packaging for the chicken caused the chicken to become soggy (if you're taking it to-go). Another Hampton favorite.
