“Everything fresh. So fresh you can see the chickens that lay the eggs. You may want to uber if your impatient to park. Small parking lot + greatness = waiting. Worth it either way so go and enjoy.”
“Love Lucky Oyster. It is a great spot for family dinner and Lucky Oyster actually gives back to the community. The manager is friendly, food and beverages are tasty, and service is excellent. I do have to say I miss my favorite server, Alexis.”
“Cute little restaurant off the road has a lot of indoor and outdoor covered seating, food was great and flavorful especially the big garlic knots and I’m not one to like garlic knots! Prices are great it is $1 for extra toppings but that’s ok food is to good to worry about that Lol. Employees were very welcoming and attentive making sure our food was good and our glasses were never empty, restaurant was very clean and the arcade in the back was nice keeps any age range busy Lol we didn’t get to try dessert but it looked good they had a little set up for their ice cream you get to see them scoop it and get to see what flavors they have through the window it’s neat. Definitely will come back next time and make time for dessert lol”
“We loved the vibe here and had a great brunch! My eggs came out wrong but the server admitted her mistake and corrected it for me quickly. We would definitely come again!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Milton, Diego and the Jose Tequila VB team! Hosted our daughter's baby shower in the event room. Worked with Milton to determine buffet menu and serving times and other considerations. We are also allowed to come in early to decorate. No charge for the event space ❤️ Diego was lead wait staff and was excellent with support during the shower. The food and drinks are always superb!”

“Had a great dining experience Saturday 3/9/24. Our waitress Medjina was awesome. All the people complaining about wait times on the weekends just join the waitlist at home, chill then drive up there and text that you have arrived. This way you spend most of your wait time at home NOT standing at the front of restaurant waiting to be seated!!!”
“Excellent Mexican food in Virginia Beach by a mile. Bring an appetite YOU WILL NOT leave hungry. I had the new Mexico city tacos and they were great. Excellent flavor and just the right level of spiciness. Very fresh and worth every bite. Even when I knocked and broke my sangarita glass with some drink still in it they cleaned it up without spilling a drop and brought a small fresh made one without charging extra. Well worth seeking them out.”
“I’ve tried a lot of ethnic foods and special Spanish, and as a Middle Eastern guy I can tell this is the best one that I’ve had so far in Virginia Beach, highly highly ”

“Best Vegan restaurant in the VB area! The owners are absolute GEMS ? love the way they are always working so hard right along their staff to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all people to enjoy delicious vegan food!”
“I love Tira’s food ? loved my chocolate Milk tea ❤️ The place is so cozy and clean. Plus all the Sanrio stuff on sale! Food is amazing and the price is also awesome!I love the owner Tira ❤️❤️❤️”
“Great location on Laskin Road. This is a one of the locals favorite spots. Great atmosphere and food. Extremely busy! Usually 20 minutes wait time. Only negative is the automatic 18% gratuity.”
“First time for me and my wife. We've had a few tries but they are always busy. It is clear now why that is! Great experience all the way around! It's an intimate place with limited seating which is good. Instead of sports programming on the flat screens, they have ocean scenes playing continuously to create a relaxing vibe. The attention everyone gets is first class! The owner/chef is continuously in the dining area serving/visiting/checking on everyone to assure our experience is first class. The food is 5 star from appetizers to desserts. We had oyster appetizer, broiled seafood entree, and key lime dessert and it was all delicious! I also want to say that on a very few occasions that have always indicated how much the leadership of a fine dining restaurant wants their guests to feel a little fussed over, we have had the chef bring out a little something to taste before we even look at the menus. Charles brought us a little cheese and jam tasting that was just right! It's a little thing, but it speaks volumes of their commitment to your experience! Our whole experience was relaxing and fun!We will be back and we will recommend Blue to everyone!”
“The view of the Lynnhaven Inlet is gorgeous. I wish they would diversify their sides. They always have this nasty vegetable melody that is dripping in butter and sorrow. It looks awful and tastes worse.”

“The best bakery in VA beach, this was our first time here, the donuts were DELICIOUS! The service was wonderful and the lady who helped us was so sweet! Our new favorite bakery, we will definitely be back for some other goodies very soon!”
“This was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised! Portions were large, food was delicious and service was prompt, polite and attentive. My server was Alex and he was very nice. It was a nice atmosphere with good music playing at a reasonable level. I would definitely recommend Whiskey Kitchen to a friend and visit again myself.I had the bbq pulled pork sandwich.”
“I like their mission and what they're all about. The BBQ is not terrible but it's definitely not the best out there. The sides are usually good. Prices are a bit high but typically BBQ is on the more expensive side of food.”

“Nice restaurant to go for breakfast and the food is fresh and tasty. Prices are just like any other nice breakfast place. Within walking distance in the spring and summer.Love it.”

“Wonderful breakfast and lunch diner/cafe. The servers were very friendly and welcoming. A variety of choices on the menu. Our food came out as ordered and very tasty. This was our second visit and both times were great experiences! Looking forward to our next visit.”

“I've been eating at this location for over 30 years. It used to be soooo good omg. Now, don't get me wrong, the food is still very good but the new owners need to pay more attention and give this place a deep clean. The chairs are absolutely disgusting, the dirt and oils from hundred of people's hands is built up so thick in the backrests - go see for yourselves; I've very disappointed ?. The rugs and entryway....Lissen y'all need to do better. And finish that exposed drywall - y'all know what I'm talking about.EDIT: I grabbed these photos from other reviews and can confirm the chairs are still dirty just like this. Please pay closer attention to the details ?? Us locals love this place, y'all know this.FINAL EDIT: March '24 - they have brand new clean chairs!!! The place looks great ?”
“Honestly the best Mexican restaurant on the planet. My family and I eat out a lot but this Las Palmas truly has quality food with variety, very friendly + accommodating service and the atmosphere is FUN. I personally like the Arroz Texano but have yet to have a bad meal here even when mixing up menu choices.”
“Was stationed in the area from 2005 - 2009 years, and I ate there every chance I could. Was in the area on business FEB 2024 and took my coworkers there for dinner. Food and atmosphere are still outstanding!!! Would recommend to anyone!!!”
“Dinner was absolutely delicious! When Cole is in the kitchen expect perfection with your entree! Chicken Piccata this time! Chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce I couldn’t get enough!!! You won’t be disappointed! Ask Cole for a suggestion based on what you’re looking for! Enjoy!”

“We (two of us) had delivery service to our house: 1 large Cheese pizza (thin crust, spicy sauce, double cut), 1 large Bacon & Onion Cheese pizza (thin crust, spicy sauce, double cut), and a fresh garden salad. With a coupon, the food bill was $46.00 and (additionally, we tipped the delivery person too).The items arrived fast (the pizza was hot; the salad was cool, crisp and fresh), and everything was top quality. We split the salad in half, and had enough pizza for dinner the evening we ordered. And, we even had more pizza left over to have for future dinner(s) or lunch(es). What a convenience. What a reasonable price. What a terrific locally owned taphouse and restaurant.”
“This place is always busy, service is always good! Kind people and amazing food with decent pricing. Blackened Tuna bites & the Mac and cheese was absolutely amazing together.”
“I’ve ordered and then pizza is awesome. Kind of pricey but it’s worth it once in a while. The guy on the phone and the 2 that I dealt with were really attentive m. I’ll be back for sure.”
“Fantastic as our server Kelly I believe her name was did an EXCELLENT job as it was my daughter and I's first Daddy-Daughter dance date and the staff here went over the top to treat my daughter like a queen and for that I say Thank You! Great Job!”
“If you had asked me to write a review the first 20 minutes I was there, I would have written a very hangry, upset review.When we first walked in we were greeted immediately and taken to a table, which was surprising because they looked pretty busy. The hostess was very kind.We sat for around 20ish minutes with no wait staff approaching our table. I did not mind at all because I was aware how busy they were. Until…. A table sat next to us and was immediately served water, and asked if they had questions. I was a little pissed off and very hangry. I went back up to the host stand to let them know what was going on.Now, I was taken back to my table. The professionalism shown by the host, waitstaff, and I am guessing the manager in admitting their mistake, was so refreshing. They apologized and told us the our wait staff had not been told of our table. I cannot say enough good things about every staff member we talked to. They even went as far as taking a chunk out of our check, which was not necessary but greatly appreciated.Onto the food, it was incredible, my daughter loved the spaghetti pancakes. I had the southwest scramble, yum.I will be back, once we move. ❤️”
“Excellent Chinese American food. Good portion and great ingredients. Try their meals if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed, unless they had a bad day or night. I've never had an "off" meal there yet in at least 2 dozen visits since moving here to va. Beach over 10 years ago.”
“One of the best Chinese take-out restaurants in the area, bar none. I got the pepper steak and onion this time. General Tso last time. The flavor was all there, as well, it was piping hot. The service at the counter and on the phone is always good. They are always very friendly.See you very soon!”
“A nice boutique Italian restaurant. They don't allow walk-ins and aren't on open table, so likely need to call directly for reservations. They let us seat anyway when we arrived early. The service is fantastic and excellent attention to detail. A nice wine list to compliment the meals. The prices are reasonable and portions are a reasonable serving. The food was a bit bland for my taste but a little seasoning at the table helped. The environment is intimate but not very warm and cozy, likely a byproduct of being in a strip mall environment. Worthy of another visit to try some new dishes, in this guests opinion.”
“My parents came to visit from DC and asked for a recommendation on a quality steakhouse, and we all loved The Butcher’s Son! Making a reservation online was easy through their website.Decadent and flavorful lamp chops were so satisfying!! My toddler daughters enjoyed the steak bites so much they asked for them at dinner the next night.”
“from the minute you walk in, the customer service and attention to detail is phenomenal. The drinks were amazing. The appetizers were delicious. Entrees all sounded so good; we opted to split two. Our server had the kitchen split them and serve at two different times to pace the meal... perfect. If you are a dessert person... the chocolate pudding with sea salt paired with their red dessert wine is a must. Overall... highly highly recommend.”
“Outstanding in every aspect. Consistently the best Italian restaurant in the region! Superb food from both northern and southern influences, personal attention from staff' and the crab soup!!!!!”
“Zoe's is among the top 3 restaurants in Hampton Roads, and hands down the best steak house in Virginia. The staff treats everyone like family and the food constantly exceeds my imagination of what an amazing dinner can be. Every bite was ecstasy. Thank you for your extraordinary efforts in managing the smallest of details. Nothing went unnoticed.”
“Great food, service, and value. The experience was exceptional from valet service, host desk and server. I have recommend this restaurant numerous times in the past and will continue to in the future.”
“Here’s the thing: the food and the service were fantastic, but that’s not where the review is coming from. My wife had a difficult situation where she wasn’t feeling well- the ladies at the host stand went above and beyond to make sure she had what she needed and didn’t feel embarrassed. Thank you so much for the kindness, everyone, it meant a lot!”
“Best Chinese food in Hampton Roads!! The chicken in chili oil, soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, fish in chili oil, wontons. Everything I’ve had here is amazing. If you were to try just one thing from here, it should be the Dan Dan noodles. Phenomenal!”

“Great food, good service, lasge varity of draft beer especially for Europe beer, and there's special prices for different everyday like cheaper beef wellington or $5 Martinis.My favorite dish is the fish & chips, fish is thick and huge, and the tarter is rich and tangy. The fries are also delicious and they're flat shaped, I would just eat this as my appetizer cuz they're so good.I also recommend the Bacon Stuffed Gouda Burger with +$1 for the pretzel bun.”

“Bought my first cakes from Paige a few weeks ago and hands down every flavor was certifiably the best dessert I have ever had. I eat a primarily plant-based diet but I challenge anyone to show me more satisfying texture and flavor! These little gems are worth every penny and Paige is a delight. Everyone in my family is getting one of these for their birthdays!Update: Even the non-vegans at our 4th of July celebration could not believe this spectacular dessert. I actually had to show them the ingredient list because they refused to believe anything that good could be plant-based. As the afternoon wore on and neighbors started to show up to swim in the pool, there was enough left to share and they, too went bananas. I had hoped to have some to take home but alas - didn't happen! :)”
“One of the best waffle houses we've been to in the area. We went for dinner and our waitress was so kind. We got the all-star breakfast special, and it was absolutely divine. Can't wait to come back to this specific one.”
“Awesome experience! The grill girl and guy server are professional, friendly and quiet. In this day and age when everybody is either”training or complaining”, this was so refreshing!!”
“There’s NOTHING like good breakfast food no matter the time of day… After debating with myself on what I wanted to eat I ended up going to Waffle House Once I pulled up in my mind I was thinking “I’m not eating any these young kids are cooking”As soon as I walked through the door Ciara greeted me with a welcoming personality and bright smile… Rahmir was cleaning making sure the eating area was clean and Desmond cooked the food with love. I don’t normally order grits from restaurants however the team suggested I try the grits Desmond made.. OMGGGGGGGG not only was my food BUSSIN my Grits was BOMB..And to think I almost pulled off when I pulled up. Everything tasted like breakfast at Grandmas house on a Saturday morning. I give these guy 10 10 10 across the board… I was so impressed with the service and how welcoming they were I had to ask their names to be added to my review. Theses guys are definitely a good asset to the company. This was one of the cleanest friendliest Waffle House I’ve been to in a while.”
“One of the best IHOP restaurants I've ever been to. Service was fantastic. Food is IHOP food. Parking lot of small, but if you find a spot usually no wait or very small wait.Parking: Small lot for size of restaurant.”
“There was the tiniest piece of egg shell in my daughter's eggs, but we really enjoyed the food and the employees looked like they could do their jobs in their sleep. Service was fast and ”
“We went on a Thursday afternoon, not a soul in there. We were greeted with menus and immediately went to our table. The chips, salsa, and white sauce are amazing. We ordered the queso dip and it was the best I've ever had. The vibe was very welcoming and busy was a overall amazing experience.”
“You must try this spot! Wonderful food, Clean environment, Classy, Excellent music, Wonderful location. Very nice! I go whenever I'm in the Virginia Beach area and will be going this weekend! Can't wait!”
“On 2/28 I visited store #2151 at around 515pm. I was not greeted by the server on shift. I seated myself and sat for 45 mins and was still not acknowledged by the server. The wonderful cook Alyssa took it upon herself to take my order, cook it and serve it to me. I love coming to this location but if your servers ignore customers, there definitely needs to be a change.”
“Good food, slow service... I think they are understaffed.Had to wait a long time for a simple breakfast...but it tasted good!! Was nice to get a gluten-free English Muffin !!”
“It was yummy and super late! We appreciate your store being open and especially the Door Dash guy! He let me know exactly where he was and was actually 3 minutes early!!! Happy Sandwich Making!!!!!”
“This McDonald's stays busy because of the location. But they are always friendly, and they have never messed up my order. I gave the food a 4 out of 5 because last time I went, my burger was a little dry and sloppy. But it was still good because I was really hungry.”
“Good food prices the same as what you would get it fast food. But it's actually nice to sit in a cafe style atmosphere and have your food instead of driving through and getting a mediocre breakfast from a fast food ”
“Tonight I went by this location and I seen a few workers from MCDONALD'S inside talking to each other in the dining room, I seen a few employees in the back working and they'd help a costumer taking a order, once they were done, they immediately left, like I wasn't behind. I walked up to the MCDONALD'S workers talking to each other, and I asked for help and this employee name Demetrius. Was so helpful and he took my order in the front, and was so helpful. I couldn't asked for no better costumer service than what he gave me. We need more people like him.”
“A local favorite for my family! Great food and awesome service! Everytime we go there I try something different on the menu and I'm never disappointed. The owners are fantastic people and always make sure they stop by and say hello.”

“Very good food. It was a Friday night and they were extremely busy but still only had to wait 10 minutes. Seafood dip was very good. Has crab meat and shrimp in it. Had the Texas fajita quesadilla and hubby had the San Jose burrito. Everything was goodddd! Great white sauce too!”

“I think this is the only Sweet Frog in Virginia that I would eat yogurt in, sometimes the fruit is gross, I feel scared just by looking at it. But my kids like the yogurt here and is close to their karate ? class.”
“My boyfriend and I just came in tonight and LOVEDDDDD it! It was our second or third time in, it’s wonderful gelato every time. We were served by Bri/Bre (sorry not sure how to spell her name) and she was so happy and full of smiles. Great customer service, great food, great experience overall. Loved it!”

“I will always pick Chick-fil-A over anything I do it for parties for everything they're the best people love it when you want quality you got quality they got the best food best ”
“So unique, and for sure a staple in the community. It was described to me as iconic, and I could not agree more. The service was above excellent, the food was terrific, and the atmosphere was top tier. The outside patio is fantastic with their fire pits for cold and comfy nights. Thank you to for the amazing service.”
“Full bar. Waitress, God bless her soul, is the kindest woman. She reminded me of a grandmother of mine. It hurt my heart to see her tend the bar and the food all by herself. Nothing is wrong with the location, hence the five star, but you really ought ta giver some help. Would love to come here again, real nice bar to be left alone.”
“The cooked food is very good. It’s surprisingly very fresh and homemade-esque. The sushi seemed to take a while even though there was a lot of wait staff because it appeared there were only two people making food. My husband and I love sushi. About 2/3rd of the menu is sushi, but we didn’t like the sushi or my usual favorite - shrimp tempura. The egg rolls are huge. The rice extremely generous portions. We have a whole other meal for two as leftovers.The service was great. All of the staff was.They have robots delivering food and there are 2 or 3 gliding around with cute animated faces.The place was busy and everyone was enjoying their food.The ambiance is as in their photos.I’m attaching pics of the food. Sorry we ate some first!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Amazing chicken had a 5 piece tender and a 2 piece meal with mash potatoes and Mac and cheese. Had great banana pudding ice cream!Great service from a young man! Fast service! Check this local place out it's worth it!!”
“eat breakfast here a few times a week food is always fast hot and good. plus, if you're running a little late in the morning, they dont stop breakfast at 10:30. the mobile app is easy to use and the drive thru is lighting fast. unlike the yellow arch down the road a bit where you line up for breakfast and by the time the serve you it's lunch. the sausage egg and cheese croissant with hash browns is awesome. stop by and get one.”
“An unplanned dinner stop for us turned out to be the best food and drinks we've had in a while. High recommend. It was very busy but the service and food were awesome.”
“I go to Chick-fil-A one time every day and I order through my Chick-fil-A app and it is amazing I pulled through. They already knew my car every day they they absolutely signed me right in. I don’t have to wait through the line I go right in boom right through the food is always good although I don’t get it for myself I usually get it for my mother and my daughter, however I do occasionally partake Chick-fil-A is always going to be crowded but at least they always address the crowds and they keep the lines moving and they keep their customers as happy as they can”
“Outstanding Burger,fresh fixings,that u choose for yourself, my wife and I enjoyed it very much ,they offer Senior,first responders and Military discounts,which helps better than any fast food burger!!!??”
“Great place for lunch. I say this only because I haven't been there for dinner yet. The food is great, the prices are reasonable and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant we have been to in the area.”
“Okay when you ask for extra reeces in your blizzard and pay for extra, you should get it. Maybe the amount was reduced but it isn't the same as before. I understand cost controls and increases but if the amount is less, fine tell me and I'll pay for 3 times the amount. I don't care, but just inform me if the change if it is changed.”
“Went here for dinner and it was a great experience. Food - casual seafood restaurant. We had the shrimp hush puppies, trio dinner entree and rockfish special entree. The one thing I would say could have been improved was not have the trio in the butter dish but that’s my personal preference. They even made me a mocktail drink too. Vibe - great views, excellent service from the whole waitstaff team and dim lighting for an intimate and romantic experience. They even have a renovated waiting area that looks classy. I would recommend this restaurant!Parking: Restaurant has a free parking lot. Its located right outside of the restaurant.”
“Aloha Snacks is a great restaurant in Virginia Beach.Simply put this is fast casual meets Michelin star. Unique, high quality food.Must try:Farmer’s Poke-not your traditional this poke. It features spicy salmon and fried green tomatoes and coconut aioli.I also recommend any of the specials (always changing).The cheeseburgers are great. Smash burger style….Order the Gnarly Burger….thank me later.If you like craft beer. Have the team help you pick a draft or can. You won’t be disappointed.Oh yeah and if the Chef is there ask for an autograph or a picture bc he Beat Bobby Flay on national television with his now world Famous Lumpia (also worth ordering!)PsIf you’re near Aloha Snacks for breakfast give the “Bacon My Heart” a try. It’s the best breakfast burrito on the planet.”
“Half the days they get everything right, the other half they can’t even toast bagels without burning them to a crisp. The guy who works the window deserves a raiseEdit 5 stars, haven’t had any problems in a while”
“Best spicy chicken sandwich available from any fast food place, and they use fresh jalapeno! The fries are pretty good, but I'm a fan of the adobo rice.Chick-fil-A is garbage, so do your tastebuds a favor and stop eating there.”
“This delicious soft ice cream should be inside a mall or at least in a decent place where we could go to get ice cream and walk around, eating looking something to buy..”
“The Hardee’s by our corn has been there I don’t even longer than I have been alive I’m sure but they always seem to have nice staff they’re always very prompt even when it seems like there’s a line by the time you make your order turn around they have pumped everybody out of there so now they serve breakfast until noon every day so that’s a bonus my dad likes a biscuit and sometimeshe doesn’t eat real early so works out good”
“Typically always amazing food with an amazing staff. This is probably the 2nd or 3rd time though where I order the strip basket sauced and Buffalo on the side instead I get plain tenders and no sauce. Please work on quality control a little. Aside from that yall are ”
“Upbeat , staff is revolving and super attentive , the food was absolutely amazing & came so quickly ! Love love love this place ! Prices are hard to beat too !”

“This is one of the only places that NEVER miss. Idk why some places can’t make over medium eggs but here they perfect everytime . Best plate is the hungry man . The owner awesome and pretty much most bang for ya buck! Sunrise cafe is IT! Don’t play yaself!”
“Great vibe, friendly staff and local clientele (possibly skewed by the reviewer being an Englishman abroad). The Greek sausage omelette hit the spot. It's not haute cuisine but it's a great spot for a good value, 4 star breakfast.”
“First time here. I love their coffee , it’s served at Grounded in Newport News. Well I have to say I love ❤️ it! Service was high quality and coffee delicious. Excellent sound track , sorry Grounded you gotta elevate your game music wise.”
“This is the best Starbucks in the area. We have always found the baristas to be friendly and fast, and the drinks are always accurate, quality, and yummy. Once we started doing the drive through mobile orders we noticed how fast the drive through goes, even when lots and lots of cars are ahead of us.Dietary restrictions: Excellent at accommodating custom orders.”
“This place is the best Chinese food in Virginia Beach, save none. From the initial authentic answer of the phone to the quality of the dishes and the pricing. Love this place.”
“Always hits the spot on a hot summer day.I love the the Florida Orange Gelati is just like an Orange creamsicle, availability varies. Mango and watermelon are also excellent flavors.”
“The customer service was amazing! Even the other customers were accomodating. The selections had me wanting to come by daily, and cones are made in house. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I look forward to returning soon.”
“If you haven't checked this place out, you definitely should! The staff is always super friendly, helpful when you have any questions about their menu, and appreciative of the fact that you came to dine or order out from their establishment. The food is always on point. Right now my favorite things to oder are the chicken pita (in fact that's what I had for lunch today?)or any of their egg rolls? They have two Virginia Beach locations so go give them a try if you haven't!!Vegetarian options: Vegan options are available”
“I was chatting with Lilith at the window while ordering and let it be known that I wanted it less carbohydrates so she suggested that I go for almond milk instead of oat milk and it is amazing”
“My daughter and I stopped by recently, only to find we got there about 15 minutes prior to opening. In spite of this, we were happily greeted and welcomed in early. The inside was inviting, immaculately clean, and organized. The gentleman assisting us couldn’t have been any more friendly or helpful! We left feeling super special (and full of great FroYo!) Definitely recommend this location!”
“My “go to” morning coffee shop when I lived at the oceanfront. By chance I met the new owner at The Painted Tree while dropping off some new lamps… Time to pay them a visit and support small business.?So glad I was able to stop in today for Valentine’s Day and pick up a tasty treat for my fiancé”
“We went Friday night for music bingo and great beer!! We had a very good time and my husband enjoyed his Double Mudder beer while I enjoyed mine. Nice crowd for music Bingo and the staff is the BEST!!!”
“I would add a photo of the burger and fries, but it’s all gone… Fantastic food and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend anyone come experience for themselves.”
“The first time this pizza has been made.It has everything on it minus sausagesIt was amazing ? tWould recommend this to anyone who is a foodie loverAnd amazing service”
“This spot is awesome! The server was very nice to my mother and I when we were in town visiting from out of state. This is the diner you’re looking for when you come in and google restaurants near me! 10/10!!”
“Amazing chicken had a 5 piece tender and a 2 piece meal with mash potatoes and Mac and cheese. Had great banana pudding ice cream!Great service from a young man! Fast service! Check this local place out it's worth it!!”
“The food was great as usual. Server put our steaks in as rare, not medium rare. We didn't send them back , Also, my husband asked for Italian dressing for his salad and was brought a mustard something. Once again, we didn't complain, mainly because we had never seen our server unless she was bringing our food and appetizers. There was a group of people with children who were yelling and singing very loudly. Would have been nice if they had been asked to chill out or leave. Was hard to relax and enjoy my 100 dollar meal with kids screaming the entire time. Will always return because we can't get enough of the blooming shrimp and onion!!”
“If you had asked me to write a review the first 20 minutes I was there, I would have written a very hangry, upset review.When we first walked in we were greeted immediately and taken to a table, which was surprising because they looked pretty busy. The hostess was very kind.We sat for around 20ish minutes with no wait staff approaching our table. I did not mind at all because I was aware how busy they were. Until…. A table sat next to us and was immediately served water, and asked if they had questions. I was a little pissed off and very hangry. I went back up to the host stand to let them know what was going on.Now, I was taken back to my table. The professionalism shown by the host, waitstaff, and I am guessing the manager in admitting their mistake, was so refreshing. They apologized and told us the our wait staff had not been told of our table. I cannot say enough good things about every staff member we talked to. They even went as far as taking a chunk out of our check, which was not necessary but greatly appreciated.Onto the food, it was incredible, my daughter loved the spaghetti pancakes. I had the southwest scramble, yum.I will be back, once we move. ❤️”
“Best Vegan restaurant in the VB area! The owners are absolute GEMS ? love the way they are always working so hard right along their staff to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all people to enjoy delicious vegan food!”
“Cool local pub with a great menu and beer selection. Portions were large, menu items were unique, and our server was excellent. The fried pickle chips are so good, the tater tots are a must, and for dessert the s'more sundae is a definite (to share!) Free refills on soda and a typical local bar atmosphere with dark lighting and monitors on the walls. Very good experience.”
“A nice boutique Italian restaurant. They don't allow walk-ins and aren't on open table, so likely need to call directly for reservations. They let us seat anyway when we arrived early. The service is fantastic and excellent attention to detail. A nice wine list to compliment the meals. The prices are reasonable and portions are a reasonable serving. The food was a bit bland for my taste but a little seasoning at the table helped. The environment is intimate but not very warm and cozy, likely a byproduct of being in a strip mall environment. Worthy of another visit to try some new dishes, in this guests opinion.”
“Whale Tea is conveniently situated in the same center as E-mart. I really enjoy their freshly brewed teas and the fresh ingredients they use unlike the powdery concoctions that most boba shops use. You can tell that the drinks are high quality. My go-to there is the taro fresh milk (I know, not tea, but I love it), with no boba. This drink uses real, cooked taro, mixed with sugar and milk. It's a bit gritty due to the nature of taro but this drink just does it for me! It's also very filling. I have tried their fresh teas like pineapple and grapefruit. They garnish with the corresponding fruit and they are very refreshing. For bites, I've had their cute little egg waffles and they are a delight, both to look at and to eat! One thing though, they do take some time to make, so be patient! The batter is egg-y and they have a choice of cheese or chocolate. Both really good! Ordering is super easy with kiosks for self-ordering. You can pick your size, bobas, and also level of sweetness. The vibe is very kawaii with a ginormous teddy and boba cup at the entrance and light blue pastel colors. They have a few tables for gathering. Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!”
“My parents came to visit from DC and asked for a recommendation on a quality steakhouse, and we all loved The Butcher’s Son! Making a reservation online was easy through their website.Decadent and flavorful lamp chops were so satisfying!! My toddler daughters enjoyed the steak bites so much they asked for them at dinner the next night.”
“from the minute you walk in, the customer service and attention to detail is phenomenal. The drinks were amazing. The appetizers were delicious. Entrees all sounded so good; we opted to split two. Our server had the kitchen split them and serve at two different times to pace the meal... perfect. If you are a dessert person... the chocolate pudding with sea salt paired with their red dessert wine is a must. Overall... highly highly recommend.”
“Gave this a first time try after some good reviews. So glad I did! Tried the bang bang shrimp roll and it was absolutely delicious! Sauce, flavor, plenty of protein with a wonderfully toasted roll. Side of fries were hot fresh and crunchy! No problems parking. It did get busy but pick up or dine in time to wait didn’t seem bad at all! Side note no fountain drinks if you want something to drink you will have to buy a can or water bottle. Long time future customer though!”
“We dined here for lunch, as a family of 5 with three young children. We ordered a gyro meat gyro, chicken gyro (both came with fries), Greek salad with chicken, baklava, and rice pudding. They even had secret menu chicken nuggets for our youngest. Everything was excellent and full of flavor. We all really liked the marinated chicken. Honestly, it's the best place we've dined out in a long while. They were super friendly and welcoming, great service and atmosphere. We definitely recommend!”
“The food was absolutely delicious. Some of the best sauce and cheese Ever the dough perfect crust, crunchy, crispy and thick. Just the way I like it. Absolutely a great place to get a ”
“Just an all around lovely dining experience. Beautiful restaurant in gorgeous location. All dishes excellent. Great service. Bit pricy, but worth it. Definitely recommend. For some reason the most popular dish at the table was the fries! Very tasty and well prepared all around.”

“Called in an order for a Big Backyard Salad. Got a parking space in front of the door so counting the atmosphere as excellent! The food was ready when I arrived, so quick in and out. The roasted veggies were boxed separately so the salad in a different box was crisp and beautiful. It was more food than I could eat. Delicious and beautifully presented, even in a takeout box!”
“Outstanding in every aspect. Consistently the best Italian restaurant in the region! Superb food from both northern and southern influences, personal attention from staff' and the crab soup!!!!!”
“Great BLT, very crispy smokey bacon with delicious buttery toast and juicy fresh veggies. The fries here are also very crispy and substantial. Happy hour offers better beer prices than most restaurants in the immediate area. Our server was friendly and helpful and checked on us multiple times to make sure we were taken care of. Consider a visit if you're in the area. Would recommend.”
“Great atmosphere we came here as a last ditch effort and it should have been top priority! Chantel, Kelly, and Derick were incredible! The employees gave us the best vibes and provides a great atmosphere for my girlfriends birthday! We had the gator bites and my girlfriend got to enjoy the Superman Shot! I would highly recommend this place just for the vibes alone!”
“Zoe's is among the top 3 restaurants in Hampton Roads, and hands down the best steak house in Virginia. The staff treats everyone like family and the food constantly exceeds my imagination of what an amazing dinner can be. Every bite was ecstasy. Thank you for your extraordinary efforts in managing the smallest of details. Nothing went unnoticed.”
“An unplanned dinner stop for us turned out to be the best food and drinks we've had in a while. High recommend. It was very busy but the service and food were awesome.”
“One of the best BBQ places in the 7 cities! Tried the loaded fries the first time I visited and oh my goodness I couldnt believe how much I received and how good it tasted. The home made sauces (black cherry is my goto) lile the new peach whiskey sauce are incredible. I recomend getting a platter with the beans, any other side your feeling like and the sweet potatoe biscuits (these things are like savory little cookies and are awesome). The owner and people that work there are all really nice and will make sure you like what you ordered.”
“Great food, service, and value. The experience was exceptional from valet service, host desk and server. I have recommend this restaurant numerous times in the past and will continue to in the future.”
“The barbecue was excellent and as good as it gets! My brother Jimmy’ McMullen brought it over to me and I was incredibly impressed with the flavor and top quality meat used ! For all barbecue lovers we salute you!”
“There are not enough stars to properly rate this awesome little place. While not particularly a large restaurant, tables and booths are positioned so that you don't feel like you are next to that lady in the waiting room of the Doctors office who insistently talks with you. Very comfortable atmosphere. There are two most stellar main attractions however. The first, this is arguably the best Korean food I've tasted in my multicultural experience. Secondly, and then there's Kim.I had already been warned by reading the reviews both here and elsewhere, that Kim was the most highly regarded, respected, and loved front end staff member anyone has had the pleasure of meeting. With amazing speed, outstanding agility, and serious attention to customers, Kim takes care of the entire front end by herself!! Not a single table, or booth, that i saw, was ignored or left wanting.I had the BBQ Makeral as my main dish. My wife had a generous helping of Beef Bulgogi. And of course the table was stocked with the plethora of little dishes of sides, which Kim kept restocking when my wife and I would devour it clean.I cannot shout loud enough from the highest rooftop in Virginia Beach. Asahi Korean Resteraunt sets the bar pretty high. Poor Miss Kim gave us a tearfully joyous reaction to the significant tip my wife left on our $52 tab. She almost hugged us, telling us we are family now. She even followed us outside to our truck to make sure we made it okay.We have four daughters, all grown and out of the house. Each daughter has had their own share as a server in a restaurant. So I speak with experience when I say, every server from Virginia Beach Ocean Front to Waterside in Norfolk, and in between, should come here and have a meal to watch how to properly function with customer service. Kim is a treasure!!Vegetarian options: Miss Kim did ask if we need vegetarian choices, or if we had any food allergies. saying her Mom can modify any dish on the menu.”
“Best brunch I have had in the area! Delicious! Wait times fly by with their side bar menu made for people waiting.We snagged seats at the bar while waiting. We got the coconut shrimp, fried green tomato BLT, and lamb chop benedict, all were excellent. For drinks we got an Espresso martini and a “bean there done that” and they were delicious as well. Highly recommend, we will definitely be coming back!”
“Excellent service & food! The chicken tawook wrap and peasant salad are my go to every time! The lentil soup was flavourful. I finished up lunch with a small piece of their delicious baklava.Parking: During busy times you may have to park on the street.”
“Epic seafood boil. Our entire group was excited and then thoroughly satisfied. Plenty of food for our group and Evan was an incredible chef! We had the best time and we would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, unique, in home dinner service. It was 100% legit.”
“Great place for seafood!! Vallet parking on tips makes it a breeze to dine there. I enjoyed the stuff flounder with crab and it didn't disappoint! Eat if you can near the back so you can see the beach and people watch as beach goers walk along the walk.”

Eurasia Cafe
“Here’s the thing: the food and the service were fantastic, but that’s not where the review is coming from. My wife had a difficult situation where she wasn’t feeling well- the ladies at the host stand went above and beyond to make sure she had what she needed and didn’t feel embarrassed. Thank you so much for the kindness, everyone, it meant a lot!”
“**edit - pizza and knots were awesome. 5 stars.*Edit - based on the reply from the owner, Brian, and my wife telling me I may have been too harsh, I've decided to change the rating. However, if you want to make it right, we'll order again this weekend and see how that goes. I don't need a free pizza. Just make sure the toppings stay in place and we'll be good to go. Like I say below ?, I really like your pizza and want to stick with you guys. Sorry if it came off like you guys suck. No, a LOT of VB pizzerias are terrible. Your recipe and quality are excellent. It was just my last two deliveries that threw me off.Guys, if you don't get it together, we're done. I like your pizza. It's one of the better pizzerias in VB. However, either the person boxing or delivering is killing your reputation. I delivered pizzas for 3 years and never once had a complaint about the pizza being a mess like this Half the toppings slid to the other side of the pizza. If it comes RIGHT OUT OF THE OVEN, DON'T IMMEDIATELY SLAM IT INTO A BOX AND THEN A BAG LIKE A MANIAC. That's how this happens. Either you slid it into the box too fast, causing this mess, or you slung it around inside the car on delivery and it now looks like this. Next time will be the LAST TIME if it comes like that again. No hard feelings. This should be considered constructive criticism, so take it for what it is. Like I said, I like the pizza, so I want to stay a loyal customer.”

Daves BBQ
“Dave's is our FAVORITE BBQ. We frequently find a reason to take the trip from Fredericksburg just to fill up on this food. My favorites are brisket and spicy slaw. My partner can't resist the cheddar sausage and pulled pork sandwiches. We were pleasantly surprised with their new location yesterday. What a treat! Keep doing what you do!”
“Great spot for locals and visitors alike.The Connecticut roll is great during cooler weather paired with a soup. The classic is a summer favorite with chilled lobster. Yum. Love this place.”
“My wife and I were greeted upon entering the restaurant. We got seated right away and given menus and waitress took our drink orders. She was the only waitress working tonight but she did an excellent job serving everyone in a fast timely manner. We did not wait long for our food to come out. The presentation was nice and the food tasted great.Parking: Sometimes the parking can be difficult to find. It's a small parking lot shared by other businesses. Sometimes you might have to park down the other side of the strip and walk to wherever your going.”
“By far my favorite BBQ. Whenever the topic comes up and someone tells me I have to try this place or that place, my answer is "No I don't because I've already found the best.Awesome pulled pork and brisket & the best collards and baked beans I've had.LOVE this place!”

Happy Cafe
“I had to run to the internet to share my wonderful experience at Happy Cafe. The food is amazing. The people are amazing. The service is amazing! Thank you Happy CafeVegetarian options: Vegan Sausage is the bomb.”
“The food here deserves 10 stars! Thank you to fellow Yelp reviewers who led me to suggest my friends to go to El Borincano for dinner. While the restaurant only seats 12 people, the ambiance and aroma is so welcoming.I ordered the bBistec Encebollado - beef sautéed with onions with 2 sides that you can choose from: salad, white rice, yellow rice, tostones or sweet plantains. I got salad and yellow rice. The salad was so fresh served with no dressing however it goes well with the house sauce (akin to thousand island with mayo..?). Yellow rice is moist. My friends ordered Fried Pork Chop and conch salad. These were served in delicious well seasoned portions. Highly recommend this restaurant, easily my best Latin American restaurant. You will NOT be disappointed, guaranteed!”
“This was my first time back to this restaurant in a long time. The service was great, though the server didn't know the price of the specials when asked. My friend had the octopus and a goat cheese salad, which she enjoyed. I ordered the oysters and the short rib special. The oysters were good, and the taste of the short ribs were good, but the consistency was more like pot roast, which is not one of my favorite choices. I would definitely return to dine again.”
“Wendy is always a great server...always very attentive...I love a waitress that don't let me drink run out....food is always great and customer service is always amazing.”

“I absolutely love Noodle man.. the Kung Pao Chicken hits every time. I could seriously eat this multiple times a week. I order my food over the phone and pick it up... Usually ready in 20 minutes since I am usually ordering for coworkers ”
“The food here is excellent. The service is also great. One server in particular, Krista is a shining example of what a server should be. I always frequent this location for the above reasons.”
“Wow! Wow! Wow! The flavors and the freshness of the food here is simply outstanding! The vibe is very welcoming and traditional. The service was excellent. Will definitely visit again. The falafel and grape leaves were done perfectly and the beef shawarma was so tender and delicious. The lentil soup was the best I’ve ever tasted, the flavors were just perfect.Vegetarian options: Plenty to pick from for vegetarian and veganDietary restrictions: Clearly marked Gluten Free menuParking: Easy to find space hilltop parking is always busy at mealtimes but there’s plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: Family friendly for sure, well lit and high chairs available.Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk level entry and wide spaces between tables inside, single level easy access to the restroom with plenty of wheelchair space.”
“The BEST Banh Mi around!!!!The bread is fresh!Meat in every bite!!!The amount of veg is just right and the best part for me .. I asked for extra spicy - is what they gave me!!! ❤️ my to go place”
“The Brunch Crepe with sausage was a great, light option for breakfast with my friends. Ordering is really simple and the staff is very helpful. My friends and I took advantage of the outdoor seating which made for a pleasant experience. I'd like to try one of their sweet crepes next time.”
“Great food and selection! Fresh and always hits the spot! Kebab platter is the go-to.Dietary restrictions: If you need non-dairy, just ask for no white sauce or on the side to see how it sits with you.”
“Decided to try someplace new for our annual gift exchange brunch. We all really enjoyed everything we got. Shrimp and grits are not created equal, but we were pleasantly surprised!! The flavor was very good! We also had the stuffed French toast and Avacaodo toast, which were both very good!! I liked the atmosphere and an added bonus was they brought our food when it was hot off the grill...they didn't wait for everyone's food to be ready to bring it to us...so everyone had a nice hot meal! The sorbet mimosas were ok... it was literally a scoop of sorbet with champagne. It was definitely a good find and I'll be back for sure!!”

Sage Kitchen
“Super cool restaurant inside of a garden center/arcade/mini golf place. The lunch was fantastic. Amazing chicken salad sandwich. The goat cheese balls and fried pickles were great as well. Service was a bit slower but it was mid week after Christmas so totally understandable. The staff was very nice.Kid-friendliness: Great option with kids. Plenty of space plus there is a play area for them outside, mini golf and an arcade.”
“Holy cow!! First time at Jen Thai. Easily the best bang for your buck when you’re looking for the finest Asian food.The Panang curry was out of this world. So robust and flavorful. The Thai Tea was also perfect.Definitely the new spot for that Asian craving”

Nara Sushi
“So far, the best sushi restaurant I’ve been to in the area. The food is A+ and the service was fantastic and very helpful with suggestions. We ended up doing the omakase, it was a lot of fun and super affordable compared to most sushi places. Granted it’s not some 15+ course omakase, but it’s a decent amount of food to split between 2 people for $65.”

SaigonOnePho
“I've been craving pho and found an old article proclaiming Saigon 1 the best in Hampton Roads. It was excellent! Such great broth! I had it with round steak, as well as the goi ga appetizer. Both were delicious. Looking forward to coming back next time the craving hits.”
“Fabulous pizza and salad! Have variety of items on menu, veggie options. Great staff. Inside, outside and bar seating available. About 20 beers on tap. Full bar.”
“3 different fish dinners at our table and all were delicious. Also had the scallop app which was probably the best scallops I’ve ever tasted! Great server, great food, great experience!”
“Mannino's Italian restaurant is a culinary gem that truly stands out in the world of Italian cuisine. The exceptional service provided by Jimmy added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. His recommendations were spot-on and he went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of amazing. His entertaining personality made the evening even more special, surpassing the entertainment value of the TV.The crab soup cup was a revelation in itself. It was not just soup; it was an experience. The rich and flavorful broth was so delectable that it was practically drinkable. Without a doubt, it was the best soup I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.The spaghetti and meatballs at Mannino's were nothing short of perfection. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. The combination of tender pasta, savory meatballs, and fragrant sauce was simply to die for.And let's not forget about the Tiramisu. One bite of this heavenly dessert was like experiencing pure bliss. The creamy layers of mascarpone cheese, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and hint of cocoa were a sensory delight. It was like having an ecstatic moment, akin to the feeling of having sex for the first time. It's a dessert that leaves you screaming with joy, eager to let everyone know about its divine taste. Mannino's Italian restaurant, with Jimmy's exceptional service and the unforgettable culinary delights it offers, is a must-visit dining destination for anyone who appreciates fine Italian cuisine.”

Mojito Cafe
“Don't let the Subway next door fool you into thinking this place has nothing to offer. I ate until it hurt and that's not something I try to do but this food was so good.My wife and I get down to Virginia Beach 2-3 times per year and this will now be a required stop. The place has been around for 15 years and I can honestly say that I regret wasting my time everywhere else.You're not going to pick anything bad on their menu. If you like garlic they've got this garlic sauce that, when they describe it, sounds like the garlic butter you get with Papa John's pizza. While I used to think that stuff was liquid crack, it's garbage compared to what Mojito's got going on but you better like your garlic.Do yourself the favor and visit this place as much as possible. I'm already planning my next meal and deserts.”
“Love this place. Food is awesome, and the staff great. Waitresses don't hover over you during your meal and you don't get rushed out when you are done eating. Their chicken wrap is amazing and the prime dip is good tooParking: If the main lot is full, u can park behind the hotel that the restaurant is in front of.”
“As a first time customer, I was pleasantly impressed. I can't wait to go back! Jason our server was fantastic and on top of everything that we needed. We really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here.”
“I enjoyed the Oxtail Soup - Felt like home. Well im not from Thailand but the open atmosphere of the kitchen in the restaurant as soon as you walk in, youre looking at your food being made, felt like my mom was cooking in the kitchen. The chef was a mom and waittress was super sweet. Food 10/10. Will definitely be one of my go to Thai Places. Thanks for the food!”
“Perfect little spot for a nice date out. Got the sirloin steak that came with shrimp, scallops, mashed potatoes and swapped the broccoli out for asparagus... Everything was delicious! The steak cut like butter and the scallops were cooked to perfection!”
“Phenomenal dinner! Restaurant on the 6th floor with a view of the ocean. The she-crab soup was very good. The table side caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had! The pork chop was fine, but not my favorite. The flounder francese special was perfect, with such a light breading and flavorful sauce. The tiramisu was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! You could tell everything was homemade and so fresh. And to top it all off, the service was outstanding! I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is definitely the best place I've had in VA Beach.”

“Our waitress Shana took such great care of us on our first visit here. This is such a cozy restaurant with an authentic Italian feel. They have a vast wine selection and the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the fried mozzarella and the chicken parmesan. This will definitely be a new frequent dinner spot for a quiet date night.”
“One of my favorite places in the entire area, ESPECIALLY when the chef is going off with his specials. He does things with flavors that blows my mind. I actually go though a mourning phase knowing I may never get to have them again.Luckily the standard menu is fantastic too. The ribeye with the marrow butter is hnnng.”
“Leggo my Wagyu. Fresh, fast and friendly. I don't know if the food or the service was better. Definitely worth checking out to put your best burger joint to the test.”
“Google BBQ eateries chose this place because it was considered one the best in Virginia Beach. We weren't disappointed as you can see gave it 5 star rating. Definitely be returning back to dine again and whole family is in favor. Keep up the great work ?.”
“In the past, their pizza tended to be a bit on the salty side, but today, we really enjoyed it. My picky son even said it was the best pizza within close driving distance ?! Please continue on this wave, and we'll keep coming back!!”

“We arrived late at night and were greeted with smiling faces. Our server was superior! And the food and drinks were just as excellent. I will continue to come back and recommend.”
“I live very close to this place so I visit often. The tacos are my favorite here and so are the drinks. If you’re looking for the best margaritas and wanna enjoy some yummy tacos, come here. Lots of parking spots and a 7-11 nearby I’d you need anything on the way ”
“This is truly great Mom and Pop Italian Food! Angelo is from Italy and owned a restaurant in NYC before settling in Virginia Beach. Everything on the menu is outstanding and full of flavor. Go grub out and tell Angelo,Alan the RV guy sent ya!”
“Stopped by without calling ahead for takeout. I was greeted by three different staff who were very friendly. The turnaround time was very short and the food was ready in a flash.The carne asado was flavorful and so were the burritos. Everything was packed well for the walk home. The portion sizes were good, more than enough. I will make this my new favorite in VB.”

“If I could’ve ordered one of everything off the menu, I would’ve. Everything was sooooooooo good. The ramen, my son’s burrito, the birria ramen, the tortillas, and OMG the ceviche… everything fresh and amazing. I just wish they delivered to the oceanfront. Best Mexican I’ve had in the area hands down.”
“Worth a drive out to this brewery if you're in the area. Great space,.solid beer and great selection of games if it's quiet.I'd almost mark them down for not having working guest WiFi, which is really annoying when you're touring breweries from abroad, but they made up for it letting us bring in lunch from The Lab, round the corner.”

“Absolute favorite for my wife and I, we have been going since for some time now (approximately 30 visits) and the level of service and quality of food is exceptionally consistent. The chefs are top notch, making food that is locally sourced and absolutely delicious. The wines they carry are unique and complete the experience. Culinarily this place has opened my eyes to products and food combinations I wouldn't have typically tried. Its an absolute gem. We've never had a bad experience here... If you ever get the opportunity... treat yourself and drop on by... you will not regret it!”

“Date nigjt with a girlfriend. We had a great time. The place was packed and we were able to get a 2 seated table with no problem. Even it being packed did not interfere with our service. Food was Beyonce good and matched the service. One of my fav places to eat.”
“I come here at least once a week. Best ramen I've ever had in VA. Super friendly staff, atmosphere is great if you're a weeb. Their other dishes are great too, especially the katsudon. Never been ”

“Me and the family went for breakfast in the afternoon. The service was great and the food was delicious. I had the French toast my daughter had pancakes ? and my husband had a bacon ? burger ?.”
“This McDonald's stays busy because of the location. But they are always friendly, and they have never messed up my order. I gave the food a 4 out of 5 because last time I went, my burger was a little dry and sloppy. But it was still good because I was really hungry.”
“I've been eating at this location for over 30 years. It used to be soooo good omg. Now, don't get me wrong, the food is still very good but the new owners need to pay more attention and give this place a deep clean. The chairs are absolutely disgusting, the dirt and oils from hundred of people's hands is built up so thick in the backrests - go see for yourselves; I've very disappointed ?. The rugs and entryway....Lissen y'all need to do better. And finish that exposed drywall - y'all know what I'm talking about.EDIT: I grabbed these photos from other reviews and can confirm the chairs are still dirty just like this. Please pay closer attention to the details ?? Us locals love this place, y'all know this.FINAL EDIT: March '24 - they have brand new clean chairs!!! The place looks great ?”
“Exactly as it's named... your classic dinner!Breakfast or lunch all good. Pancakes were prefect, eggs over easy were eggcellent! Serving size filled my belly.Service with a smile and attentative even though it was busy.Might be a slight wait for a table but certainly worth it.Price was reasonable.”
“A very good Mexican restaurant better than anything from Boston Mass. Down here visiting for work and my server Sol was knowledgeable, a great bartender/server and offered a plethora of things to do in the VB area. Will definitely come back for a full stomach and great drinks at a very great price. 10/10 would recommend highly.”
“Stopped in for the first time and absolutely loved the place. Had their fish taco's and a beer and that's all it took. Staff was friendly, food was very good and it just had a good feel to it. I'll beback.......”
“This place was jumping. And business was brisk. Very friendly atmosphere and the food was spot on. I had hotdogs crinkle cut fries and their homemade Navy Bean Soup. Excellent!”
“Clean restaurant! Food is similar to Sarku in mall food courts, with the exception of having 3x better food quality. Fried rice was mushy, white rice was great! Didn’t try any ”
“The young men that work there have great personalities, They washed their hands right away before assembling my sub. While I was there eating lunch, we were cracking jokes and having a good time. Makes me want to come to this location.”
“Got to try this stall in Sandbridge, a stone’s throw from Mello Beans Coffee.They have picnic tables with umbrellas, ample parking. Service was friendly and fast. They support staff working for extra $$ during college. Community conscious indeed.I highly recommend the steak taco salad. Other proteins are offered with the taco salad such as chicken, etc. the salad was made with greens that are fresh (no brown edges or limp leaves!), guacamole that’s green, taco chips, the works! The steak was perfectly seasoned and served in good portion. Highly recommend this place, worth the scenic drive to Sandbridge Road!”
“lidl to quaint little grocery store that popped up in my neighborhood couple years back and I'll tell you I'm not used to some of the foreign products but I've used them and tried them like most of them they have great deals all the time somethings always on sale. Sometimes the lines are a little bit long but in that defense a lot of times people opt out to use the self checkouts for some reason or another but I always use them but when I do I'm usually bypassing a line they may only have one regular line open usually but overall the availability and affordability couldn't ask for a better place to be right around the corner when you need something in a bind there and see for yourselves it's very nice grocery”
“If I could’ve ordered one of everything off the menu, I would’ve. Everything was sooooooooo good. The ramen, my son’s burrito, the birria ramen, the tortillas, and OMG the ceviche… everything fresh and amazing. I just wish they delivered to the oceanfront. Best Mexican I’ve had in the area hands down.”
“When I was in VB, this cafe, truly impressed me. The coffees served here are truly exceptional. Not only the coffee but also the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home.Don't leave without trying the Lavender Latte and Mocha :) Its intense and rich flavor will captivate you. Also, the ambiance of the place and the soothing music selection make it a perfect spot to enjoy your coffee.The staff is incredibly attentive and hospitable. I receive the same warm welcome with every visit. This cafe is not just a place to have coffee; it's a wonderful place to have a good time. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try! ☕✨”
“Deleted my old review to post a new updated one.Went in today for a couple drinks and a toast. The toast we had previously ordered and a few others were no longer available which was disappointing. Drinks were still just as great as before, but toast was ultimately forgotten to be made,but in the end was comped by the barista. Hope things can get better, last time we were waited on by the owner and there was a lot more passion behind the service.”

“The best bakery in VA beach, this was our first time here, the donuts were DELICIOUS! The service was wonderful and the lady who helped us was so sweet! Our new favorite bakery, we will definitely be back for some other goodies very soon!”
“Truly enjoyed our evening as always. The food and ambience was excellent. We were seated at the corner of the restaurant facing the beach. Perfect location for a birthday celebration. The waitress made sure to recognize the event and brought out champagne and birthday cake! We will be back!!”
“I like their mission and what they're all about. The BBQ is not terrible but it's definitely not the best out there. The sides are usually good. Prices are a bit high but typically BBQ is on the more expensive side of food.”

“Nice restaurant to go for breakfast and the food is fresh and tasty. Prices are just like any other nice breakfast place. Within walking distance in the spring and summer.Love it.”
“This place is always busy, service is always good! Kind people and amazing food with decent pricing. Blackened Tuna bites & the Mac and cheese was absolutely amazing together.”
“Wonderful breakfast and lunch diner/cafe. The servers were very friendly and welcoming. A variety of choices on the menu. Our food came out as ordered and very tasty. This was our second visit and both times were great experiences! Looking forward to our next visit.”
“We came to the Hunt room on a recommendation from a few friends. Our server was Viliana and she was very good! She kept our drinks full and checked on us regularly. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. The oyster stew was just okay (I’ve never had it before). But we both really liked the short rib French dip and burger! Our only critique is that it was veryyy loud. But we would return and were happy overall!”
“Great food and service, also quick regardless of how busy, but with maintained quility. I just wish they had combos instead of a la carte, but that's just a minor pet peeve. Otherwise great!”
“Tried the burger bowl which is basically a five guys burger without the bread and its prepared within a fowl style like bowl. I'm not a big bread eater, so this was right on time.”
“This evening was our first visit to Oscar's. My husband and I were greeted by a pleasant and professional staff. All of the staff with which we had contact showed genuine interest in our satisfaction and enjoyment. Our booth had a wonderful view of the boardwalk and ocean. Our server, MacKenzie, was calm, knowledgeable, personable, and perfectly paced our dining experience. We had the Oscar Salad and the Beet Salad as appetizers. Our greens were truly fresh without iceberg fillers. The salad ingredients were tasty, but light and uplifted the greens. The dressings were excellent, and did not overwhelm the salads. Our entrees were the Salmon with Tarragon Creme sauce, and Fettucini Alfredo with Filet, and could not have been more perfect! They were well presented, perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and very savoury. I tried a new Shiraz, and found it surprisingly robust, complementing my entree rather well. We finished our meal with delicious vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce. We both highly recommend Oscar's in all facets and are looking forward to our next visit. Wendy&Kevin Tuttle”
“Always hits the spot on a hot summer day.I love the the Florida Orange Gelati is just like an Orange creamsicle, availability varies. Mango and watermelon are also excellent flavors.”
“I had ordered from this location at 3:00 pm on 12/6/2023. My drink was absolutely amazing but I want to give a big thank you to the baristas on that shift (Brittany and Sarah) who were very kind to me after having a long day. Those two were really amazing and really brightened my day! Love this location with such great staff! Thank you ”
“Capt Charlie was a delight to chat with and instantly confirmed our decision to eat here. We ordered a Wave, and it was great! Thinner crust which we were pleasantly surprised by. We'll come back !”
“Best neighborhood restaurant for over 25 years and counting. Easy parking, beautiful cocktail bar with lots of seating and great wine list at every price point. Excellent selections as well. Dining room is gorgeous with large tables. Bar area has high tops as well. The food is excellent!! Numerous salads to choose from and delicious varied appetizers as well. Entries are amazing, best known for their grilled salmon- yummmm! Must try the carrot cake in bourbon sauce for dessert, you will love it!”

“best bar and brew selection around! we had a great time and the food was delicious. oh, did i mention they have all of my favorite beers?! will be back again and again!!”
“I came in chasing a rumor that they had great custard filled cream puffs. And the rumor was true! It is a non-traditional version but it was excellent. I was lucky to get the LAST ONE available tonight. The (possibly) owner checked with me to make sure I like it. I assured her it was amazing. The shop is small, no seating, and but cute.”
“Food is simply amazing..Service fast and very friendly. Drink never went empty and they check on you every step of the way to ensure your satisfied. Thanks for a great time..”

It was a nice atmosphere with good music playing at a reasonable level. I would definitely recommend Whiskey Kitchen to a friend and visit again myself.I had the bbq pulled pork sandwich.”
