“10/10 always. No questions asked. Go support this new, small, and woman owned business. You will not be disappointed by their amazing customer service. The shave ice is the real deal and you won’t find any like it around. Steph makes fresh ingredients and syrups for all different options. Oh and I heard they just got a food truck ??“

“The food was outstanding. I've never had such a flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken breast. I tried my partner's snapper, and it was also scrumptious. Try the shishito peppers!! We were doted on by the staff (wait staff and manager) and it was greatly appreciated. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table which really isn't bad for a Friday night in a popular spot. Gluten free options too!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“My daughter and I visited Tira's today, unaware that it was a Vietnamese restaurant. We were in search of lumpia, but Google had other plans. ? The gentleman that met us at the counter explained the differences between the Vietnamese eggroll and lumpia. We decided to give it a shot and I couldn't be more happy with our order! The egg rolls were fresh and amazing! The gentleman and young lady we spoke with were SO WARM AND GENUINE! The decor and gifts were So cute and inviting! They also have the biggest money tree I've ever seen in my life! It's really impressive! The whole experience was wonderful and we will definitely be back!!!“
“I had the grilled chicken Parmesan and it was amazing. The staff was very friendly and attentive, even a server not assigned to us checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. They brought their “A” game. Portions were very generous. We will definitely be back to try the corned beef hash.“
“Although my wife and I only got appetizers, they were delicious! Coconut Shrimp and Scallops over Street corn. The atmosphere was casual and most welcoming. There were many delicious looking entrees and we will be back. Oh and Manager Mollie was very friendly and made us feel right at home. Thank you.“
“It’s a great place to meet up and have a $5 wine tasting. Wine is made, bottled and labeled on site. Check their Facebook page for upcoming activities. Friendly staff, super clean restrooms, kids play area, private room you can rent out for parties and much more.“
“We were visiting from PA and this spot came highly recommended for brunch, so we stopped in before heading home. Great restaurant in a very good location. We arrived 5 min before our reservation and we're able to be seated right away. We were greeted by our server rather quickly. The drink options were nice, I ordered the Mimosa Mango Sorbet (prosecco with a scoop of mango sorbet) but I was torn between that and trying the mimosa flight. There were so many great entree options but I went with Filet Mignon Benedict it was delicious, the sweet bacon with the fried green tomato along with the egg and sauce was perfect pairing with the filet. For our shareables we did biscuits and firecracker shrimp, both were yummy. Next time we are in town we will be eating here again.Wheelchair accessibility: While there is an upper level the bottom floor is wheelchair accessible.“
“If you are looking for a place to sit outside and enjoy the weather... New River Taphouse is a good bet. They do not have the overhead shades any longer. You can bring your dog, so they can enjoy the outing as well. Our server was nice... she was in training but she was helpful. The prices were acceptable. The deck was clean. There is a large selection of beer and wine. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.“
“It's my first time in there today I stopped in and got a tuna salad sandwich with a seasoned fries very good was to go order and it was plenty of food I couldn't even finish it and the service was great people were friendly they made sure that I got my order taken care of and I would recommend it to other people and I'll be back again and try something else but the place looks really good and they got a nice staff“
“Easter dinner from Taste of Maine. Being from Massachusetts I miss the seafood dishes immensely. Today, I had the best New England clam chowder!! Even though it’s gone, I can still taste its creaminess. The Haddock was plump and if so tasty. For die hard New Englanders, they carry full belly clams. Can’t wait to try them next.“
“The food as always was great. We went on a Friday at 11, we were seated right away. But it took forever to have a waitress come over to take our order, and even longer to get the food. We were sitting by the back door/bathroom. We noticed LOTS of staff going out the back door. And females going into the bathroom in twos, multiple times.“
“I got the Nutella iced coffee and it was incredibly good! I love that they have food options too. I got the croissant with bacon, egg and cheese and it was good as well! I will definitely be back. The owner was there and was super friendly. I love to support a local small business and a veteran owned business!“
“We, overall, really enjoy Bros. Tacos, and have been several times. Great food and cute dining area.On our most recent visit, service was fine but not welcoming. We walked in, and no one greeted us, so I said hi and smiled, which was met with a straight-faced stare from one staff member, and the other simply asked what we'd like to order. During our visit, a man came in (possibly owner or manager) and was checking things around the restaurant. With him at the front, we were thanked for our visit. The climate seemed warmer. Not enough to ruin a visit - just something to note.“

“4 of my vacation days I came here for a meal. Do not hesitate to stop in at this restaurant. The welcoming smiles and the extreme politeness of the staff was such a pleasure to experience. The food is impeccable. I will miss this place when family moves and I can not vacation here but if I ever come back I will be stopping.“
“We enjoyed our visit here, and it was close to the Virginia Aquarium. The variety of their menu gave everyone great choices. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, and the drinks were on point. Great place for the family if you're also looking for a full bar ?.“
“Ordered a bit of everything- pizzas, calzones, sub, pasta, fries. It was all very well prepared, packaged, and was soooo delicious! You could tell it was made with care and fresh ingredients. Loved the ricotta with mozzarella combination. Can’t wait to order again!“
“While travelings from Texas for family business, I was able to take some time and visit this brewer. This was the fourth brewery I visited. I have been brewing for over ten years and when I travel, I do my best to stop into the local breweries. One the name caught my attention. My family is in law enforcement and I am a paramedic. It was nice and I was felt welcomed. The beer was great and staff friendly. Set up had it's own uniqueness. It is nice to see a brewery dedicated to those who serve and served. This has been the best brewery that I visited. This will definitely be on list to visit again the next time I am in the Virginia Beach area. Cheers, Mike Hutto, Tx“
“Quick service, amazing food. I got the Commune burger, because I am a harsh food critic and have been trying a lot of vegan food lately for my sister and daughter, who are vegans looking for good food when they visit. I’ll be honest, the patty is super crumbly, so there is some difficulty eating it. But the flavor is amazing. For people who want a vegan burger that tastes like beef, this is absolutely not it, but I promise you it’s delicious. I asked for ketchup, and all they had was beet ketchup. I didn’t even know this was a thing, but omg it was the best condiment I’ve ever tasted. It was the perfect compliment to the burger. 8/10, highly recommend. If they ever get that patty worked out to where it doesn’t crumble all over your plate every bite, it would be a 10.“
“I ordered the sandbridge omelet, and it was one of the best I've had before. I didn't particularly like the setup for the dining room, but that's just me. Service was very good, (s/o to Dave!) everything came out correct and fast! I was also pleasantly surprised at the price for the quality and quantity of food we got. Swing by here for breakfast!“
“Let's just say I've found my new go to spot! I ordered the 6 wings (lemon pepper) and 2pc of fish(flounder) with vegetable fried rice, Cole slaw and an egg roll. Everything was seasoned pretty well, especially the chicken..truly flavorful, but fish could've been cooked a little longer as the meat wasn't flaky, it was just a tad bit mushy, but other than that, I would still recommend this place.“
“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!“
“Came to the Lucky Oyster with family and it is our come to, when we visit! I had the Pungo Farms Chicken fried Chicken, garlic mashers, and green beans; it was the best I have ever had! Everything was homemade and tasted incredible! My wife had the nachos, they were the best also! And the service was fantastic!!!“
“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.“
“I found myself in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and in need of a beer. There are 13 craft brewery places here, and Smartmouth Brewery was the closest to my hotel and within ealking distance. There is a nice selection of beers here with oven baked pizza available.“
“The food is absolutely delicious. There were choices for everyone in the family. The blackened tuna sandwich was fantastic, very fresh, and generous in its portion. Their fried okra is probably the best I've ever had. Even when there was a mistake in one of our orders, the staff solved the problem very quickly.“
“The pastrami is officially on my list of top 10 bites in Hampton Roads. To be honest, this is what brings Brooklyn Pizzeria to a 5-star rating for me. Yes, the pizza was good, but it didn't blow my mind like the sandwich. I probably would only make the trek out again if I knew for certain that I would be getting my hands on this sandwich again. I am really excited, however, to try more menu items next time we go. We got the Brooklyn pie which was yummy. I look forward to trying more of the sandwiches and the arancini. Service was super friendly. I found pricing to be fair. Ambiance/atmosphere is not what you come for. It's pretty non-existent, but isn't that the charm of a pizza joint sometimes? Overall, great spot to visit. Make sure to get the pastrami!“
“Stopped in this place after I met one of their very enthusiastic employees. Passion is hard to fake, so I wanted to see what was there.The beer I had was called "The Future". Good beer, tasty AF. Didn't try the food; they have different food trucks that come over to feed folks.The setting looked terrific; outdoor and indoor seating, both dog friendly. Decor added so much to the experience.I'll definitely go again.“
“Love this bakery. My family goes here for all our special occasions (baby shower, birthdays, anniversary, holiday) and the days we just want a little treat. This place is a hidden gem. I recommend them to anyone with an ear.Vegetarian options: They’re vegan.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kid and dog friendly“
“Good laugh, I don't like beer and rarely drink a glass of wine. But this is a great place to come. I had the fish and chips..but substitute salad.. the food is not typical bar food. Looks like it on the menu but the taste tells you something different. I love the decor and the outdoor area. Signs everywhere with activities. Definitely a returnable place. Jenifer our waitress was amazing server. Despite it being busy she was attentive.“
“My daughter and I went for breakfast, the Dulce deleche french toast was amazing. We came back for Monday dinner ramen…outstanding. The atmosphere is family friendly and the Josh (chef) can throw down.We will be heading there tonight, Wednesday night trivia…can’t wait. When visiting the CA Beach area again, I will be back at The Stockpot.Dietary restrictions: Allergy friendly, knowledgeable about cross-contamination when cooking.“
“Lolly’s Creamery located blocks away from Virginia Beach oceanfront is amazing! Lolly’s Creamery delivers excellent customer service and the ice cream is delicious ❣️? Lolly’s Creamery has great menu options. Just to mention a few menu items a course ice cream, milk shakes, banana splits, Lolly’s Ice Cream Cake, and more! This location is 414 Virginia Beach Boulevard.“
“Amazing Friendly, Courteous, Professional, Caring Staff!! Super Cool Ambiance and Certainly,Most Definitely a “Local” feel. Want to hit a Sweet Brewery on a hot summer day? This is the Spot!! Killer on a brisk Evening as well!! You will not be disappointed!!“
“A must stop in Sandbridge. we stop at least 3 times a week when we are in town. the service is great, the staff is top notch, and the food is amazing. I was even able to get a bottle of hot sauce for the road. if you don't stop and try you are missing out.“
“Best Americano since Cacao Cafe in Atlanta . Smooth as cocolat - straight no chaser. Quite a kick, too without the jitters of regular coffees. Shared the lox bagel. Scrumptious and hearty. Missed the whole slice of red onion and thick heirloom tomato but really good lox and a fine cream cheese, capers too on the everything bagel. Totally charming spot to sit out in the wild garden, or inside in very comfy spaces. Never made it back to get some writing done but it Reminded me of the Republic of Berkeley. Nice people. Atmosphere Missing the usual racial tension in Virginia Beach.“
“Love this place. However, PLEASE, PLEASE consider carrying a non-alcoholic beer. While several people may have stopped drinking alcohol, doesn’t mean they don’t like to socialize and enjoy the “taste” of beer. Doesn’t have to be brewed, although that would be fantastic…, if at all possible. But please seriously consider having something to offer & sell. I promise you’ll get requests.“
“Consistently good. Honestly amongst the better pizzas in the area, and OPEN until 2AM. You won’t find a better pie at the Oceanfront at those hours, or often any hour, than this. I’m satisfied.Delivery is fast, always hot and the drivers are responsive and friendly via text. Go for it!Vegetarian options: it’s a pizza joint, it’s naturally vegetarian if you don’t get meat!“
“Update: Excellent selection of beers on tap and bottled/canned. Tasty food and friendly staff. Consistently top notch experience.Update: spent Sunday afternoon with friends at Casual Pint. Excellent selection of beers on tap, good food and friendly staff. Thanks for another great experience!Great selection of beer on tap. Good food, friendly staff.“
“Easy to get in and out of the parking lot! It's a big space with both indoor and outdoor seating. I preferred the back seating area indoors because it was quieter and less crowded. It is loud and drafty since it's essentially a big warehouse, so dress warmly if you go in the wintertime!“
“The restaurant feels fresh, new and clean.Both my husband and I ordered the fried seafood platter. Everything was delicious and plentiful. My take home box was full.All the seafood was crispy and not overly battered. I've never had hushpuppies as good. The coconut cake is light and full of flavor.An all around 5 star experience including the waitresses.Thank you so much.“
“I went to this place last weekend for a late breakfast. If there is parking dedicated to the restaurant, I couldn't find it. But as a Sunday morning in December is not a prime beach day we were able to fund a spot and not get towed. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this place is VERY casual. Kinda of a smoothie/coffee bar that also serves food. You order at the counter and they bring it out. I think we cleared the table ourselves. I had a croissant breakfast sandwich and tots. Both were good. The service was friendly. The music was loud. It was mostly empty on a late Sunday morning in Dec. It is good for what it is but not a destination per se.“
“Cool dog themed brewery and restaurant. Went here for St. Pattie’s Day for the first time and was pleasantly surprised about the atmosphere and food! The lucky charm mimosas, appetizer dipper trio, and Oreo dessert pizza was so delicious! I’ll definitely be back if I’m looking for a chill spot to have some food and drinks.“

“I love it. The coco bread takes me back to new york, and the shape of it is just a tad refined and makes for a wonderful, tasty, and filling sandwich. In a mcdonalds world, its so nice to be able to go to a place that takes the time to put out excellent food at such a fair price. Its my new favorite, by far. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in feeding my family tonight, it was amazing.“
“Big team order- delivered hot and delicious! Owner couldn’t have been nicer and 58 hungry college boys were very happy! Went above and beyond for one food sensitive order. Seriously, chicken Parm sandwich was still steaming when my son ate his!Can’t review atmosphere because I ordered on the phone and had them deliver.“
“We got there late, but they were still ready and willing to take our orders. That might be the reason that my biscuit was a little undercooked. Also, our waitress might have been tired, so our service was a little slack, or she already knew she was going to add a large group tip to a three party bill.“
“Our visit was a special occasion. It was Saint Patrick's Day, and they were in full celebration. They had music to fill the air with a festive atmosphere.What was different about St. Patrick's Day for them, was they did away with their normal menu, and had a buffet style set up. The buffet treated us to delicious brisket, fried chicken, waffles, mashed potatoes, fruits, and cookies ?. The staff was friendly and easy to talk to.It's also worth saying that the atmosphere of the place was very cool. Their restaurant sits just above the water, so eating next to the window can make you feel like you're floating. When you're done eating, you're also free to walk around outside and over to their dock set back into the trees. I didn't go at night, but they had lights strung up about the place. Leaving me with a sense of wonderment on how this place could look late when the lights shimmering over the water.“
“I am "simply impressed" with the quality of food service and options that Simply Steamed provides. I have only used Simply Steamed for take out meals.I own a vacation home in Sandbridge and Simply Steamed is one of my go-to places for take out seafood. They offer a variety of seafood that is ready to serve and other steamed pot variety options that have seasonings and everything you need to cook at your beach house when you are ready. The steamed pots are great for large family gatherings. Ready to serve seafood entrees and appetizers are flavorful and cooked perfectly. You can use them as a meal or to round out your menu.In the shop, SS has great choices of wines to go with your dinner. The staff at Simply Steamed are friendly, helpful and give great guidance on selections and portions for your group. Desserts are available but they go quickly. If you are so inclined, SS offers a great selection of cigars to finish off the experience.I highly recommend Simply Steamed. We return regularly.“
“We drive 12 hours to Virginia Beach for April vacation each year. Aloha Snacks is our first meal when we get there. We consider it our comfort spot. This year they went up and beyond to help our family when something went wrong. The kindness and caring was amazing.Thank you!P.s. The Pad Thai is incredible and the guava crushes are a must have!“
“Always such delicious, fresh, tastebud tantalizing food!! A true locals fanfare! From the Lynnhaven to the Tidewater and the Granny Smith Goat Cheese Salad! I love the specialty food items to shop for too! Edward's petite ham ?! Staff is always friendly and helpful too!“

“This place is a little bit of a hidden gem, although the bustling parking lot might suggest otherwise. Despite its inconspicuous location, the restaurant boasts a beautiful outdoor space and a charming chicken coop in the back, promising fresh ingredients straight from the source. The tantalizing aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air as you enter, tempting even the most disciplined diner. While I didn’t indulge in the bakery treats, I can attest to the freshness and flavor of my tuna melt. The service was impeccable, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, the chaotic parking situation is worth noting; securing a spot was a challenge, and maneuvering in and out of the lot proved to be quite the task. Additionally, the restroom facilities are limited to portable toilets in the back. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would still highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food and exceptional service.“
