Progress came quicker than anyone anticipated; Small's Hardware closed in 1986 after selling the property to Old Dominion University. John III owned the property where the restaurant is located, for over twenty years. The restaurant is about 7 blocks from where the hardware store stood. When the last tenant moved out in 2011, renovations began for the restaurant.
The Small family has served Hampton Blvd. Our warm and welcoming social environment is complemented by our even better menu, which was artfully crafted by Logan. Logan's passion for cooking, hands on training and love for family helped develop our upscale yet casual concept. Small's Smokehouse + Oyster Bar is a restaurant with a relaxing and friendly atmosphere where great hospitality is the norm, not the exception!
Our delightful cocktails, local craft beer, and individually selected wines pair perfectly with our menu. It's full of delectable slow smoked barbecue, fried shrimp, catfish and locally harvested oysters. Many of our menu items, including dressings, sauces and sides are made in house from scratch!

Blue Moon Belgian White was our first year-round release back in 1995.
It started with our brewmaster, Keith Villa, wanting to craft a beer inspired by the flavorful Belgian Wits he enjoyed while studying brewing in Belgium.
He brewed his interpretation using Valencia orange peel versus the traditional tart Curacao orange peel, for a subtle sweetness, and added a touch of coriander to provide balance.
Then he added oats and wheat to create a smooth, creamy finish that's inviting to the palate.
As a final touch, he garnished the beer with an orange slice to heighten the citrus aroma and taste.
