Three Unique, Worth-the-Effort, Honorable Mentions

The Swell Oyster Shack
The Swell Oyster Shack at Hampton Harbor, across the street from the State Park (MAP), an easy walk from the Beach, and a must-do for Oyster Lovers. Highly recommended. Our review. Â
Lupe's 55 Cantina
Lupe’s 55 Cantina, a fine, small, family-owned Mexican restaurant on Ocean Boulevard (MAP), directly across from the Beach. Our review is coming soon.  Highly recommended in the meantime.
Three Very Good, Off-Beach (downtown Hampton) Dining Options
Shane's Texas Pit
Shane’s Texas Pit is well known among local residents for generous portions of tender, authentic, Texas-style brisket, its smoky pulled pork, and its large, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Â

CR's Restaurant
CR’s Restaurant is now Buckley’s Burgers and Steaks, located at the edge of downtown (MAP), and still well worth the seven-minute drive from the beach. Â
Buckley’s Burgers and Steaks is still highly recommended. New review coming soon.
The Old Salt
The Old Salt, at the crossroads of downtown Hampton (MAP) has been a local restaurant institution since before President Dwight Eisenhower had Thanksgiving dinner here.
