30 Best Burger Restaurants in Norfolk

“best juiciest burgers by far! love this hole in the wall restaurant!“

“The best burgers and mozzarella sticks!! Highly recommend!“

“First time, really good!! Our server was Justin and he made sure we enjoyed the experience. Definitely would go again!!!“

“Great food! We are from out of state, visiting family and loved this place.“

“OMG...absolutely awesome Manny's cheeseburger combo. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The burger looked like a Burger King (they can't even get theirs to look like that) advertisement and tasted better. The french fries were fresh and hot. Great meal.“

“The setting is gorgeous, but the interior could use a designer for a more coastal environment. The crab cakes are the best in the area, but they need better healthy sides. I also had the best soft shell crab in the area there a few months ago. Hire a chef versus a cook. More healthy versions of seafood are needed versus mostly fried and salted. As an excellent cook, I could turn this place into a hot neighborhood spot that people could walk to/from. Many times the price does not meet the quality of food unless I order the crab cakes. I have seen waiters bring out broccoli with worms moving around and florets that have overstayed their time in the kitchen.“

“We drive from Chesapeake once a week just to get Salmich’s. Best burgers around!!!!“

“A truly iconic place in norfolk that is a must see that I've been going to since I was a toddler with my dad always a great experience“

“The best veggie burger I've had in years. The fries are also tasty. My husband said the smash burger was the best he's had in Hampton Roads.“

“Food is great but 12$ for burger without drink or fries . If you make it a meal one meal is 20$ . This place is more than five guys and the portions are way smaller. Five guys large fries is a whole bag. And the burger is worth the dollar value these are small and way under portioned“

“Friendly Service and the food is amazing“

“Food was wonderful. our server was very informative and attentive. Great personality.“

“I just had an amazing experience at Five Guys Burgers and Fries! I ordered the Little Bacon Cheeseburger with Cajun-seasoned fries and a vanilla milkshake. Let me tell you, every bite was fantastic! The burger was made from premium meat, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. The fries? Freshly cut and made daily, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. And the milkshake—absolutely incredible! Freshly made every morning with top-quality ingredients, it was the perfect treat to round out my meal.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Emily, who was both welcoming and incredibly helpful. This was my first time eating here, and she really knew her stuff when it came to the menu. Honestly, with her knowledge and customer service skills, I’m surprised she’s not in management or a corporate role—she’s that good!

JR was on the grill, and I could tell right away that he knew exactly what he was doing. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors really shined.

This definitely won’t be my last time at Five Guys. Thanks again to Emily for the exceptional service! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out!“

“This place is fairly new, located in the heart of Ocean View. It can easily be accessed by bike, walk, or by driving. The staff is super nice and welcoming. The pizza is delicious! We ordered a large pepperoni abd cheese and had only a few slices left. You will not be disappointed.“

“Had the Cajun chicken cheesesteak. Was delicious and had the perfect amount of heat! Would highly recommend it if you like spicy food!“

“After a long day driving we enjoyed a 12oz Rib Steak & Penne Pasta DELICIOUS!! Make sure you are hungry the portions are large. Renee was our gracious host, she made us feel relaxed and at home! Thank you Renee, we loved your stories! Now write that Book!!“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food 👍👍👍“

“I just want to thank Soirée Bistro for their friendly staff and providing a space for me and my friends to celebrate my birthday. Our waitress was a ball of fun and everything we had was good. The music enhanced the vibe! We will be back 💙“

“Loved my visit here! The pizza was spot on – crispy crust and super fresh toppings. Wings were juicy and full of flavor, and the sandwiches were loaded with tasty ingredients. Big shoutout to the cook – super skilled and fast – and the pizza maker, who made every pizza look and taste perfect. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Food came out quick and the whole vibe was chill. Definitely coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Keep it guys“

“I was greeted warmly and seated immediately. Julia S. Was my server and she was lovely. The restaurant was clean. My cheeseburger and onion rings were delicious. My only complaint is if I’m asked how I want my burger cooked, it needs to be thick enough to actually cook it to the desired temperature. The burger was super thin so there is no way to cook it medium. However, it was tasty. The salad bar looked amazing so I’ll be back.“

“Awesome spot with delicious BBQ and Cold Drinking Beer for a great price!! ‐Come for a beer, stay for dinner (or lunch)!“

“Destiny was an excellent server. She was prompt with her greeting and informed me my dinner option was available in a smaller size . The salad bar had one disappointment. The pasta salad tasted sour. Dinner was asiago grilled chicken. Had I known the zucchini would be so good, I would have skipped the mashed potatoes and doubled up. My only problem was being seated. The hostess seemed more interested in customers at the bar than seating guests. Overall, a pleasant experience.
Today, a different story. While the salad bar was fresh and delicious, the service was mediocre at best. Mahogany introduced herself and she seemed very hospitable. She was definitely not attentive. Salad plates sat dirty on the table, menus never picked up. Such a shame because she seemed nice. The restaurant only had a half dozen seated tables and there was another server there.“

“Staying here for work, Sherrelle at the bar was awesome! Supposed to be two people working she handled like a seasoned professional! Had the ceasar salad with grilled chicken, wonderful! Fast service for a busy night.
Had breakfast the next morning, great service, food was just so so.“

“The Dairy Queen in the Ocean View area of Norfolk is a consistent and delightful spot for anyone craving classic American fast food and, of course, their iconic frozen treats. It's a reliable local favorite that delivers on its promise, making it a solid four-star destination.
First and foremost, the Blizzards are always on point. Whether you're a fan of the classic Oreo, a seasonal special, or a custom creation, they consistently blend them to perfection – thick enough to hold upside down, as promised! Their soft-serve cones are also a nostalgic delight, and the Dilly Bars never disappoint. When it comes to the frozen desserts, this DQ is a winner, providing that perfect cool-down on a warm Norfolk day.
Beyond the treats, their hot food menu is also surprisingly good for a fast-food joint. The burgers are consistently hot and satisfying, and the fries are usually crispy. It's a great option when you're looking for a quick and easy meal that isn't just about the ice cream.
The location in Ocean View is convenient and generally clean. While it's a standard fast-food setup, the staff is typically friendly and efficient, handling orders with a smile, even when things get busy. There's a pleasant, casual atmosphere that makes it easy to pop in for a quick bite or a sweet indulgence.
Why not five stars? Like many fast-food establishments, the dining area can sometimes feel a bit basic and could benefit from an occasional refresh to enhance the overall ambiance. While service is generally good, during peak summer hours or busy periods, there can be a bit of a wait, which is understandable but can be a minor inconvenience.
Overall, the Dairy Queen in Ocean View is a fantastic local spot for a consistently good fast-food meal and, more importantly, those beloved DQ treats. It's a reliable and pleasant experience that brightens up any day, earning its four stars as a go-to neighborhood favorite.“

“We grabbed lunch at Zinnia Cafe while visiting the Chrysler Museum & took the option to sit outside. Zinnias is very clean & a has a wonderful atmosphere. Our server Linda was very friendly and answered all of questions. We ordered the grass fed hamburger & the duck salad. They were both delicious & we ended up sharing our meals. We will definitely return to try other menu items.“

“Great atmosphere, Polite staff, love coming here regularly. Delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently dined at IHOP and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It's always a pleasure to be taken care of by someone who genuinely seems to enjoy their job!

Now, let's talk about the food—wow! I ordered the sampler, and it was nothing short of delicious. The variety was impressive, with perfectly cooked pancakes, crispy bacon, great eggs, and savoury sausage. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavour, and I appreciated how fresh everything tasted. It’s the perfect dish if you want to try a little bit of everything.

Overall, my visit to IHOP was a delightful experience. The combination of attentive service and mouthwatering food makes it a place I can't wait to return to! Highly recommend!“
