Ok, so the Holiday Inn girl (note I said girl, not woman) suggests this place as "the food is amazing". She forgets to tell me it's a local, somewhat biker bar, and yes, the food is close to amazing. Â Well, let's say great. Â Paid a two dollar cover, really, and well worth it when the solo guitar player started with some good ole Charlie D, Tucker and some other nuggets I haven't heard in some time. At least not in Jersey. Â So the burger, fries and beer special was special. Â Only thing was the place has only locals and it may be intimidating for some. Â Don't be afraid. Â Hoss is cool too and a good businessman and probably always there. Â You can pick out Hoss real easy. BTW, all the help are hot, busty girls in skimpy attire.
Ok, so why did I stress the Holiday Inn girl? Â Not only did she send unsuspecting me to a biker bar (good thing I didn't wear my fancy jeans!) but I saw a business woman walk in to Hoss' and immediately turn around and leave. Â I saw this same woman at the hotel an hour earlier!
Don't be afraid :)
My favorite place on the north side of HRBT. Service with a smile always, an efficient menu, plenty of motorcycle parking, and I really dig the seafood choices. Good mix of folks here. Hoss has almost perfected the "biker bar" formula, but one element is missing. Get rid of the breading on the wings and develop a super-hot wing sauce. Talk to the chef at Lendy's Cafe for ideas.
Review Source:Beers are huge, food portions are massive, pool tables, sports on the tvs, live music. Â It's a hole in the wall kind of bar scene, but if that's what you're going for, boomshakalaka. A friend went for their 20oz. burger - thing was HUGE! Â We had their ultimate nachos (two healthy appetites couldn't finish it), and split the giant phillysteak sandwich. Â Everything was great. EXCEPT for the $5 charge to get in. Â Then again, if that's how the bands get paid, I understand. Â But I paid to see a country band -- something I'm not the fondest of.
Review Source:Location is great, parking sucks if you don't have a bike because it gets real busy towards happy hour. Â Lots of bike parking in back along with tables where you can keep an eye on your ride. The bikers aren't your typical biker crowd, a bit more sophisticated and technology inclined (meaning they don't all talk about biking, booze and women). Â
A friend recommended the bar/restaurant and I liked it, made new biker friends within 2 minutes of arriving there and I'm not even a biker. They saw that I was alone and invited me to sit with them. I recommend finding a table in the restaurant, much cooler and free of smoke/smog. Very friendly atmosphere.
Great place for seafood. Â Ordered the Steamed Hooker, however it wasn't a Wednesday so I paid full price instead of $10 special. The Hooker came with crab clusters, shrimp, clams, cocktail sauce, butter and crackers. All items steamed in Old Bay Seasoning. Â Request for a metal crab clamp, the plastic ones suck. Â This platter could probably feed a party of 2, but I love seafood and I was able to polish it by myself.
Service wasn't that great, the waitress forgot to give me back my change and I had one of the regular bar locals track her down before she left for her shift, not kidding. Â This really happened. Â However, I did re-locate to sit with my new friends, so perhaps it was an oversight. But it also took a while for all the waitresses to bring by the next set of beers each time. Â Because service was poor I gave them 3 stars.
Took a picture with Eugene, the bouncer, this guy is 7 feet. Classic photo for sure.
If you're very patient and love seafood, try this place, don't be intimidated because it's a biker bar, try it out before you rule it out.
A breath of fresh air in this largely military town. When youre best options around are Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings, Hoss's is an easy choice. Avoid the crowds on the weekends and join them on wednesdays for 12$ worth of steamed seafood aptly named the 'steamed hooker'. The waitresses are what you would expect of a decent biker dive; attractive and unwilling to put up with your bullshit. So grab a bucket of budlights and enjoy the CCR; it'll probably be a long night.
Review Source:Bleh. I was totally disappointed. I wondered if all the people who left these reviews were blackmailed by the local chapter of the Hell's Angels to leave five stars. People were cool enough and I learned some new terrible country songs about what "real men" are supposed to be like so let's chalk that up to a fine cultural experience. Alright. But I was starving and the food just wasn't that great; actually it was totally disappointing (Yelp FAIL!). Starting with the best, the steamed shrimp (on special) were pretty good - $9.99/lb and were kinda stringy so we assumed they weren't fresh but frozen. (They were good though and I'd recommend them). Blackened tuna sandwich came on an absurdly hard to eat roll that was either stale and toasted to cover up the stale, or frozen, microwaved and then toasted to cover up the frozen. Regardless, I literally couldn't chew it. Tuna was cooked well-done and not mid-rare (I wasn't asked for a temp so I assume that means it was frozen, as well); my point: the sandwich was so dry I had a hard time swallowing it. I actually took the tuna OFF the roll and ate it in three huge bites like a fat pig because I only had a plastic fork and no knife to cut it with. The crab balls (Burly's balls) were OK but 5 for $9.99? They were a little on the over-fried side, kind of like my burnt-ass onion rings which the server offered to return (without my asking - they were so over-fried I didn't have to say anything) but being that it took so long to get our overcooked food in the first place, I didn't feel like waiting so I ate them. They had kind of fried the onion right out of them unfortunately. Beers were good but then again, they were in bottles so that doesn't take much effort. Â So, you know, whatever. Another $50 down the drain.
Review Source:Sometimes when the term, "Biker Bar" is thrown around, the next logical question to ask is... "Well.... should I go?" Sometimes bikers like to keep things local.... but apparently that's not the case at Hoss's Deli. There's just about every local you can think of in there from the trucker hat old men to the trucker hat young men. Busty, biker dive bar looking girls behind the counter. The makings of a Jerry Springer brawl in the air at any moment. But aside from that, a decent menu of food (try the chicken philly) and an incredible selection of beers from near and far, bottled and tapped.
If this is truly a biker bar, it's the kind of which that clearly wags more than it barks.
Hoss's is a very down to earth, laid back bar. Â They have their waitresses dress in small tops and tight shorts. Â Its kind like a poor mans Hooters, but with way better food. Â I had a pound of steamed shrimp, and they were very good. Â Nice and big and juicy. Â I will definatly stop here again, as I live right down the road. Â If they repeat my first visits service and food, I will be upping my review to five stars.
Review Source:Hoss's is a really friendly, cool biker bar in Newport News. They pride themselves on this and you can frequently see groups of bikers come in together. It's community-driven in this sense, though also very welcoming. The staff greet you as soon as you walk in and there is a great vibe overall. Several of the servers actually model in Hoss gear around bikes for the website, so they've definitely done a cool job of branding themselves.
I can definitely recommend the wings. Get them hot if you dare, but they don't play around with the sauce. Be prepared! Outside of that, their burgers are awesome and humungous, and also I recommend their Philly Cheese Steak Sub.
I am not a biker, or a beer drinker, but I am a seafood eater.
One night my sister and her husband took me to Hoss's for Hooker night (Weds special), They have a great price for a HUGE platter of seafood. They even have BREWED ice tea.
Get there early for a parking space, and a table. Â
When I am in town, we always go there on weds.
When I am out of town, I can call up and pay for my sisters meal, before they get there as a surprise. Â
They have great music and a friendly atmosphere. Hoss is great. and the waitresses are awesome.
I like to read the funny license plates all over the wall.
Was looking to watch the lakers / celts game 7 finals and saw "sports bar" and seafood and deli on the sign. Lots of tvs showing the game in this unmistakable bar with legit food reasonably priced. Sandwiches half off on thurs nights so my grilled crabcake sandwich was 5 bucks. Guys use the juke box to get country or 80s rock. Lots of beer drinking and friendly people, and 2 spare car tires were inexplicably on a rack in the middle of the floor in the bar. Sometimes a waitress or a promo girl (hard to distinguish in this place) would move the bolts with an air gun. Fantastic.
Review Source:I can't believe I get to write the first Yelp review of Hoss's Deli. Â This could be my favorite place to go on the Peninsula!!!
This is the BEST Biker bar on this side of the water. Â (Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that, don't know that I want to let the secret out.)
This is THAT dive-y place that is just awesome.
There is great live music, regularly. Â The beers specials are good. Â The food is great. Â The crowd is fun. Â Indoors: bar, pool tables, seating. Â Outdoor patio is fun too, in the rear.
The bikes are awesome. Â
I don't think we've ever arrived on anything BUT the Harley, but there is car parking in front. Â All of the bikes park in the rear, lined up just so.
They offer a meal called the "Hooker" and it is a big o'le pile of seafood, and you can have yours grilled, fried, or steamed. Â
Everynight, there is some kind of food special going on. Â My fave is wednesday, when I can get a "Half-priced-hooker"
LOVE this place. Â It's the kind of place that makes your forget your troubles, at least for a little while.
