“I was truly surprised to read some of the poor reviews here and we almost didn't go because of them, but I'm glad we did as we were extremely impressed with the service and attention shown by the servers at this location, particularly Christina. She was just outstanding in terms of checking in constantly and ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect. I also liked the decor and design of this location. The food was good, as expected, but it was the service that truly stood out here.”

“Wow! What a hidden gem. We have lived here over 43 years and this by far, the best seafood restaurant we have been to. We were given a gift certificate as a gift and had never even heard of your amazing restaurant. You get 10/10 forks and that is only the second time I have given that high of a rating. We will be back soon, even though its a 40 minute drive to get there! Thank you for everything you offer. Perfection plus.”

“First time here. All the staff greeted with a smile and was so nice. We got the Jerk egg rolls, chicken Philly egg rolls and the parmesan chicken eggrolls to eat some there and take with us. I was a little hesitant to get the Parmesan chicken rolls but I have to say they were my favorite. Oh and we got the Mac and cheese stuffed wings and they were delicious as well. Thanks J & K Styles for a great experience. When ever we’re back in Virginia we will be back.”
“We were shopping at the new Vintage Virginia on General Booth and decided to try J&K for lunch. We are so happy we did and we highly recommend this little grill if you are looking to try some wonderfully flavored food. We tried the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll, Ranch Jerk chicken and Chili Cheese hotdog. Yum, yum, yummy. We look forward to going back and trying more flavors on the wings and other items on the menu. Thank you chef Ahke. And, your grandmother is very welcoming. See you soon.”

“Stopped in for breakfast twice. Extensive breakfast menu better than Dennys. Very friendly & efficient staff. To avoid vacationing crowds arrive before 8:30am. Classic decor right out of 1960/70's. If you are culturally sensitive you may not like but reminded me of my childhood. O ly down side was the coffee. OK on fist day but ultra weak the next.”
“One of the best restaurants we’ve experienced on any vacation! A really great atmosphere, all the staff are happy and outgoing, great music, and such fast service! 11/10 I would definitely recommend!!”
“I had an amazing time at The Dinner Detective! It was an amazing show with great actors, and delicious food! This is the perfect event for family fun time! I would definitely recommend coming to a show for your next family outing!”
“My girlfriend and I went out for some fine dining last night at Terrapin, and it did not disappoint!! Our server Allie was a consummate professional, and the GM/sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a well-known fact that fine dining is not cheap, but not only were the prices not all that bad here, but the food quality was exceptional. They also have a special on Tuesdays: 50% off for service industry workers. I found that awesome, remembering where they started from, and making it available to those individuals. We are planning on making this a monthly thing for us. Shrimp tagliatelle for me, black squid ink linguine for her. Our entrees were chicken piccata for me, and she indulged in the roasted duck. For dessert, she selected a seasonal dessert special called It’s The Great Pumpkin, whereas I kept it simple with an affogato w/ French vanilla bean ice cream. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!!”

“We frequent Embassy Suites in Virginia Beach often since they opened, and we always make several visits to Article’s Bar and Grill. The only reason this post isn’t a 1star review is because of Christian and Tripp both went above and beyond with their customer service. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They are a true asset behind the bar and know how to make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, we did have a very awkward and unpleasant encounter with another bartender (Lori) on two separate visits. We weren’t the only ones who noticed, her attitude came across as rude and unhappy to be there, which made customers uncomfortable. The first time, we let it go because everyone can have an off day. But the second time, her energy was even worse. I did bring it up to a manager on site, and I truly hope it gets addressed because that type of experience can easily drive customers away. Aside from that, the wings were delicious, and the drinks that Christian and Tripp prepared were great. Until next time—we’re hoping for a better experience overall.”

“to say AMAZING is a huge understatement. from the moment you walk in till you walk out you feel so appreciated. the staff is so friendly ( treat you like family) the food is so good, the place is clean and big portions. Whenever my parents are in town dad has to come and seriously drink the salsa. love this place!”
“Aldo’s is my absolute favorite restaurant! I am a very picky eater. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) , took me to Aldo’s on one of our first dates in 1990. If he was trying to impress me..it worked! Jim, the owner, has been there since the beginning and he is amazing! He has treated us like gold for 34 years now! He has sent wine and dessert over on our anniversary, compliments of the restaurant! He always asks us how everything was and of course, it’s always perfect! I have never had an issue. The atmosphere is incredible, very romantic and relaxing. There is live piano and the wait staff are top notch. Jim only hires the best! They have authentic Italian food that has so much flavor and there is nothing like it! I highly recommend Aldo’s for fine dining and just an overall fabulous experience!”
“Stopped here on a whim as we were leaving Virginia Beach and we were so glad we did. Loved the food. We had the shrimp and grits and our son had the pancakes. That was the best shrimp and grits my husband and I have had . Our 17 year old said his pancakes were the best he had ever had. And if you want coffee, they have the BEST!!!! Atmosphere is amazing. All the staff were friendly, and very helpful. Get there early before the doughnuts sell out. Purchased doughnuts for the road and let me say, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be going back when we return in July. Everyone needs to try this place. It is so worth it!!!!”
“Great prices and chill atmosphere. All the entrees were tempting but quite fun indulging in a tapas selection!”

“I stand corrected..... The wopper is actually my favorite burger, but I've also gotten them kind of warm 😐 but tonight for the first time, I ate a HOT wopper!!! I didn't think this was possible 😅 And the staff and service was great. kiddos to the burger King on Holland rd in va beach👏👏👏”
“This location is very good.
I was greeted by Alex, the senior associate the moment I walked in. He was working the drive through, the front counter, and directing his associates without missing a beat. Accurate orders with young but very disciplined crew. Nothing but smiles and joy showing in their actions and interactions.
I usually go out of my way to go to this location. No other BK in the area can do better.
I like my burgers a certain way and this crew delivers.
Well done!”
“Came up to the window and ordered a quarter pounder, large fries, and a pup cup for my dog. So he says that they will make something. So I go to the window to pay and they see Aurora and take my card. I asked if the pup cup was on there and she said they had something different. So now me and Aurora go to pick up our food. So I grabbed the bag with the quarter pounder and fries and she gives me another bag. So I look and see chocolate chip cookies. I went to turn back and tell her that she wouldn't be able to eat them and in her hand she had a cup of whip cream just for Aurora! I feel bad for not having much time to thank them and when I looked back at the recipe it only had the fries and burger. I found it really sweet that they gave us free cookies and a pup cup. Aurora really enjoyed her pup cup and we look forward to coming back soon!”
“Mobile ordered n picked up curb side. The employee that brought the food was really a great guy. I think we had him go back in to bring the things we needed/wanted and not one time gave attitude. He smiled n got it. It was a nice. I'm sorry to have him go back n forth many times and VERY thankful.
Vegetarian options: Not really”
“awesome good, the best server on the oceanfront.. as new locals we will be regulars..”

“Expensive but delicious. Not an everyday thing but great for a special occasion. The red sauce was strange and didn’t go well with the casadilla. More of a seafood sauce. For oysters or blackened fish.
A simple fresh picante would bring me back. It kind of inhibits me to order wraps that I don’t know exactly what’s in them. Good luck.”

“Wonderful hidden gem in VB central to oceanfront and town center. Delicious European desserts that are light, airy and unusual with wonderful unique flavor combinations. So many are too pretty to eat but I find a way. lol. Sandwiches, soups and salads along with a few other choices for those looking for a light lunch. Try the beet salad, you won’t be sorry! Best bakery in Hampton roads.”
“I don’t care much for pizza, but my husband loves it. We went here last night to watch football and have a couple beers. Our bartender was fantastic and so helpful and explained the menu as well as being open to any questions. I don’t like regular pizza but I do love a white pizza. They made us a half white and half meat lovers that changed my world!!! I actually ate more than he did and that has Never happened!! We will be returning because we wanted one of most everything on the menu!!”
“This is the best bakery in the area! There's always a wide variety of delicious, fresh goodies waiting to be eaten. Want something savory? They have that too!! Sammiches, mac and cheese, all entirely vegan and made in house! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are wonderful. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable about the products.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Recent short vacation to Virginia Beach, my wife told me of your location in the Hilltop shopping center. She’d been before, last summer, and had been talking for almost that long about the Greek Burger. We made a trip over for dinner on Monday night—and went back for lunch on Tuesday. Everything was good—from the atmosphere and very professional wait staff, to the hummus, stuffed grape leaves (some of the best I’ve ever had) served with real tzatziki, the burgers, the bread, the tabouli salad, the lamb, the beef shwarma wrap…absolutely 4 star experiences! Will definitely see you next summer—several times.”
“The food was on point! The portions were huge and the flavors hit the spot! The service very fast and attentive, yet we never felt rushed. Great atmosphere as well with a nice interior and even better exterior seating on a nice day. We went as a larger group for a work gathering and they had no problem taking care of all of us! Definitely check this place out! 👍
Kid-friendliness: Good for families.”

“Run, don’t walk, and order from this place! Hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had—the vodka sauce was incredible. The pizza crust is unbelievable, and my daughter loved the meatballs so much we had to order her another order. Kid-friendly. Family friendly. Great service. Everything was beyond expectations. Unexpectedly amazing!”
“My family and friends dined at this restaurant for over 40 years and the food and the service were always the best!”
“light crowd, they were on the ball. Service tonight was on point. the musician and artist EJ Bollman was excellent, very talented.”
“Really enjoyed this restaurant. Service, atmosphere and most of the food was very good. We were looking forward to the baked wings but they were quite soggy. When we mentioned it to the bartender, she had cook new wings They were still not enjoyable for us. We Will Definitely frequent this establishment again. The food overall is definitely very good.”

“We really enjoyed our late breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Virginia Beach. Our server, Aston, actually seated us and was so friendly and professional. He was an outstanding server answering all of our questions and was very attentive. He suggested a couple of his favorite entrees and we were not disappointed. The Power Bowl was massive and my husband really enjoyed it. I had the veggie omelet topped with goat cheese. It was delicious! Excellent coffee,too!!! We will definitely be going back!”
“If I lived here, it would be hard for me to not swing by a couple times a week. My pleasure is a bubble tea, but they have a huge menu of sweet treats to satisfy a variety of sweet cravings (Beautiful cravings creams, sundaes, Dubai chocolate and cups, crepes and more! The guy behind the counter was really nice and they were playing good trance music when I swung by on a Friday evening around 8p.”
“Having resided in Virginia Beach and now living in the Chicago west suburbs, I have always been fond of this establishment. The customer service is absolutely second to none, featuring a welcoming staff and an expanding array of food products. Their popularity has continued to grow, partly due to media exposure. While my recent visit was pleasant, I observed that their pandesal tasted slightly different. The signature flavor that I have loved for years seemed to be missing. Has Angie's introduced any recent changes to their ingredients? I have several questions, but I shall refrain from asking further. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Angie's Bakery.”
“In Short Loved this place until today! treated terribly...slow service...food was Luke warm..moms food cooked incorrectly we were MADE to pay for it...wouldn't recook...asked for the manager...GM was home young guy in the kitchen was the one running the restaurant refused to recook food because we tasted it??? $200 lost terrible experience will never go back”
“Session was my first stop when I got off the plane in Norfolk and it did not disappoint. My food was delicious with very generous portions. It is often difficult finding a restaurant with a variety of vegetarian options but they are plentiful here! The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, yet casual. I loved everything about this restaurant, including the owner, Kevin! I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely return on future trips to VB. Thanks Zebbie for the recommendation ♥️”
“I don’t normally write reviews for places unless they’re either really really good, or really really bad. This place was really really good. An unexpected gem after spending a little time at Chick‘s Beach with the family… Was not expecting the excellence we got from the moment we walked in. The staff was quick to greet, and very friendly. The atmosphere was really lovely, nice low, but perfectly sufficient lighting, a lovely patio with hanging lights and the back of the restaurant overlooks the water and a lovely little walking bridge, beautiful stonework bar, with a superb whiskey selection, though I was in the mood for beer last night… Our server, Natalie, was incredibly warm and helpful, offered to let me to taste some of the beer on tap, which led to me purchasing a pint of one of the most deliciously creamy raspberry wheat beers I’ve ever had. She recommended the pizza rustica, and I, as a chef of 13 years, was skeptical that it would be as good as it was, but yet again, perfection. There was literally nothing wrong, I tried a bite of each of my family members’ food as well because I do that... It was all excellent, the “avocado and IPA bacon grilled cheese” my daughter ordered was my second favorite after the pizza. Just a fantastic spot. Worth a trip out to Virginia Beach for dinner from anywhere else in Hampton Rose, even without a prerequisite beach trip.”
“The food is always perfect-- not just good, perfect. Every time my fiancé and I eat here it is a 10/10 experience. The service is also top notch-- the servers, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders are friendly, helpful, and fun. This is, without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Hampton Roads. We love Baladi! ❤️”
“The atmosphere is cozy, but loud (voices carry), so not the best for quiet conversation among old friends. The food and the service are both excellent, so it's worth the effort !”
“Hello. They have the best shrimp pasta I have ever had in my life!!! Totally delicious! Highly recommend it! 🍜❤️😊”
“Tonight's French onion and oyster stew were two of the most fantastic culinary dishes of my life. Make a better decision in your life, and dine in at Eat.”
“I visited before the dinner crowd, therefore it wasn't very busy. That said there was zero wait time.
I had Tikka Masala Seafood with garlic naan, which was fantastic I will definitely go back.”
“Just had a very delicious brunch after church at Driftwood Kitchen on Pacific Avenue! A convenient bonus is they have a parking lot available which we appreciate! Hubs had the salmon Benedict with hash which he thoroughly enjoyed along with a Spicy Margarita, yum! Today's special was red, white & blue pancakes with a side so l ordered that with homemade hash as my side, probably the best hash l've had! The pancakes were on point with the white chocolate chips & fresh blueberries inside and fresh strawberries on top! I would definitely order the same dish again, perfection! The bloody Mary's & mimosas were $5 & tasty! Our server & bar tender, Kat H. was very helpful & kind! We certainly want to go back! Happy Hour 3-6pm, closed Mondays,on Sundays they close at 3pm.”
“I Love this restaurant! I'm hoping it stays open many years to come. The food is consistently perfect and the staff always friendly and on point!”
“Server was excellent. Food was delicious. Each one of us enjoyed the bang bang shrimp appetizer and our entrees. I had the Chilean sea bass which comes highly recommended. The bread was so good that we had to order more. And the desserts were the perfect ending to a delightful meal.”
“The Rustic Spoon is fantastic. Everything I have ever had was fabulous, and the staff is second to none. I highly recommend this fine restaurant.”
“Best she crab soup ever! A trip from upstate New York to enjoy your soup - bar none - it’s the best.”
“Atmosphere is excellent, as well as the food Service is great, and prices are reasonable.”
“Absolutely amazing, authentic Italian with countless gluten free options! Hands down the best gluten free pasta and pizza crusts I’ve ever eaten. The staff are highly knowledgeable about various allergens, and the owner went above and beyond to check in with us personally. Highly recommend this special little gem!!”
“stopped in today for a late lunch, had the Neptune combo, everything was absolutely amazing and cooked perfectly! loved the fish topped with shrimp scampi sauce! And had waitress named Alexis which was very good waitress. looking forward to coming back on other VB visits”
“Muy buen servicio, riquisima comida, muy atentos, recomendados al 100%, la mesera (Carolina) muy amable y servicial”
“Nice atmosphere, wonderful service, and delightfully delicious ? I definitely recommend!!!!”
“My husband and I visited this location on our anniversary. I believe the servers name was DJ, he was absolutely awesome! You could tell he actually cared. He recommend an awesome drink to my husband, and made our experience great. Thank you DJ I hope you see this or someone tells you ❤️”
“I orders bolognese pasta and it was 🤤 delicious. The staff is very attentive and the chef’s talent is so great.”
“Great meal last night. Started with chicken nachos. Restaurant made chips. Outstanding. I had the BLT. Over half pound of bacon! Wife had burger and son had chicken sandwich. Both said delicious. House made bread pudding for desert. Could not finish. Service was excellent. Great beers on tap. Very good prices as well. Very friendly place!!”
“The best sushi place on the southside! Been several times and will continue to go back. Fresh seafood, great presentation, phenomenal service, wonderful atmosphere. Check it out.”
“Outstanding meal and wine selection is huge! Over 2500 bottles to chose from”
“I am a member of the wine club here. The food is excellent and the wine is awesome ! Tonight the service was top notch! Highly recommend.”
“Me and my family had the BEST experience while dining here last night. Some of the best brew and food in VA beach hands down. Trudy was a gem and the other wait staff was so patient with our crazy crew. Thanks for being apart of such an special memory ❤️”
“Wonderful dinner food was delicious and service was phenomenal”
“Beer is good and staff is super friendly. I came right at open (noon) and chatted up the brewer. He was super down to earth and it was refreshing talking about beer with someone who actually knows it and not just a bartender who serves it but doesn’t have the in depth knowledge.”
“The most attentive and kind manager and staff ever! I have multiple food allergies and the manager and our waitress went above and beyond to not only ensure I had a safe meal, but also that I had options. Toni is the most phenomenal waitress ever! As if the food and service wasn't enough, certain nights the lounge has entertainment and we had a blast. I can't recommend Quemar enough.”
“My entrée came with 2 sides, so I ordered 2 Caesar salads — but I got charged for the second one without being told it would cost extra. Same thing with the butter… charged without being told. 🤷♀️ Why? I have no idea. That said, the food was good! The lemon meringue ice cream sandwich? DELICIOUS!!! 🍋🍨 Just make sure you ask if anything is extra before you order.”
“Stopped here on a whim as we were leaving Virginia Beach and we were so glad we did. Loved the food. We had the shrimp and grits and our son had the pancakes.

“Great location second time being there and still love the food and service. The staff was as awesome as the first time 🙏🏾.”
“On Friday night, we had a big group of runners that really wanted ice cream. Kilwins was closed, but they saw our group and let us in! The girl that waited on us was awesome and patient. Very thankful! We are from Ohio and really enjoyed the ice cream. Highly recommend. They could have turned us away, but they didn’t and that is rare now a days. Next time we are in VA Beach we will definitely come back.”

“If you are looking for a place to sit back and wine and dine…this is the place. Bartender service is awesome and management with Mike or Ryan is superb.”
“Top notch customer service, family owned and they greet you and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
Sushi Rolls were light, fluffy and absolutely delicious. We will be back!”
“The food is so fresh and delicious. Best crab cake I have had in my life! You can take a fishing charter and eat what you catch at the restaurant. They will filet it and fry it for you. They also have a nice shop of fresh catch fish you can purchase to make at home. The views from outdoor seating is amazing too.”
“Awesome everything - appies, beer, donuts, music, service…all excellent! A+ per usual!!!”
“Wonderful experience Really good nicely prepared and plated food. First time visit. So much to see at this vast outdoor mall. Our food server was so nice, honest, and with a welcoming personality to burn away any shyness or cold heart attitude. Good looking staff, too/ possibly all related by family. The menu is excellent freestyle Americanah and you’re sure to find something you enjoy.”
“Went on a Sunday night and figured they would be busy because it was Valentines weekend. There was a long line when they opened. Had buffalo cauliflower and garlic fries. The garlic fries were everything. The pizza my husband and I shared was very good too. We had apple crisp for dessert which was also good. The only negative was the grapefruit hot honey margarita was a bit salty.”
“Crab stuffed shrimp, fried shrimp & salmon were all excellent! Keylime pie, coconut cream pie & raspberry cheesecake! everything we ate was DELICIOUS! service was great as well! We will be back!”
“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach! The eggplant side is amazing. Love the Kabuli rice and chicken kebab. Everything on the menu tastes outstanding!”
“Absolutely love grabbing sushi here. Every time I walk in the door I'm greeted with a very friendly staff and the food is phenomenal always. Highly recommend top notch place.”
“My husband and I went yesterday to celebrate our 19th marriage anniversary, and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we walked in. We loved sitting at the curved booth too! Our server Larry was the best! He made sure my drinks were just the way I wanted… And they don’t short you alcohol- just saying! Lol, my husband has a higher tolerance than I and mentioned it. My husband got the whole fried red snapper while I created my own little sampler out of entrees. They were the oxtail empanadas, crab cake sliders and salmon bites. It was all scrumptious! I tried my husband’s red snapper and one of his shrimp- YESSSSS!! 🤤😋🙂↕️ I even made sure to bring even the sauces home with my little bit of left-overs. Looking forward to Father’s Day brunch next month. I’ve already made reservations. 🙂↕️ Thank you to all of the staff, even to the ones we didn’t meet who made our experience that much better.”
“What a gem!! We chose Jimmy G's for our wedding reception. We had a small wedding so we reserved the private room. I cannot say enough about how beautiful the private room was with the big screen TV and warm, welcoming setting. Our waitress even set up a cake table for us. This was a perfect choice!! Now the food, INCREDIBLE!! My God, everything our party ordered was delicious!! We sat for the longest just talking about how good our food was. Our waitress, please forgive me. I don't remember her name but she was so sweet and amazing. During dinner the owner came to meet us and congratulated us as well as guests, staff and the manager were so kind. We were even offered a bottled of Moet by a couple at the bar. We don't drink so we politely declined but the offer alone was a perfect representation of the culture and love that permeates this establishment. We cut our cake and made sure to leave some for the staff. I really hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Our Jimmy G's experience was the perfect end to the most beautiful and special day of our life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our night so special for our family and we will definitely be back for Jazz night!! Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. Greene”
“Cute shop with plenty of variety and charm. Staff was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Personal favorite is the Thunderstorm green tea, very refreshing as an iced tea.”
“In town and searched for a dive type bar that I could shoot pool and have a draft beer. Staff were friendly and helpful. Patrons seemed local but nice. Pool table was decent, but in WAY too small of a room. Shooting from the long sides of the table was impossible if the cue ball was close to the rail. Overall, a nice dive spot with an outside patio area. Felt welcomed and safe. No drama.”
“So far the best of everything I have had at Virginia Beach. I cannot express how great it is.”
“The service, omg was amazing, I applaud all the servers, spot on!! The food was delicious and portions were big!! The price is sooooo affordable! I will definitely be back!!”
“One of the best sushi places. The food was amazing the atmosphere was very welcoming and comforting. Highly recommend for a couples date or a group dinner. Try the Vanilla tempura ice cream, it’s amazing!”
“Great food and a fun concept! Will definitely be back for a second pot!”
“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.”
“Eggs Benedict and the lavender cappuccino were so flavorful”

“Walking distance from boardwalk! Great food & Service was excellent! Definitely recommend this place & will return again!”
“I went there last night and had a good meal. The tuna with avocado and mango was a great appetizer along with the fish and she over mashed potatoes was a tasty entree. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating. They gave a sample of paella to try first too! The atmosphere was very family like hangout in a living room with friends.”
“Great atmosphere, good food, and fantastic service! Our server, Holland, was very accommodating, patient, and attentive. She kept our bellies full, our drinks topped off, and was helping out all over. Very impressive:)”
“Kenzie was the best server my husband and I have ever had! She was so thoughtful and went the extra mile for me and my family. She was so kind to our daughter and showed a real genuine care for us that is rare these days! She was awesome!!”
“Carolyn was an amazing bartender! We went in with a Coors light lover and other beer drinkers. Carolyn was so helpful in select a beer to everyone’s liking. She was upbeat, personal and helpful. Every time I'm in VA beach. It's always been a great experience, but Carolyn made this one even better!”
“What a really nice experience! Everything was just super lovely and absolutely delicious!”
“This place is a total VIBE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If flavor explosions were an art form, this sushi nailed it. The rolls came out looking like masterpieces—drizzled with spicy mayo and sriracha that hit the perfect balance of creamy heat and tangy kick. The tuna inside was buttery fresh, practically melting in each bite, while the crunchy toppings on the other roll brought that extra texture that makes you want to go back for another piece before you’ve even finished chewing. The wasabi had just enough fire to clear your senses without overwhelming, and the pickled ginger was the ideal reset button between bites. Paired with some ice-cold sake (or in my case, a crisp drink on the rocks), this meal was the definition of next-level sushi bliss. Not just food—this was an experience Fresh, flavorful, and straight-up addicting. I’d come back here just for these rolls!”
“We had my daughters birthday party here and the staff was amazing and made her feel so special!”
“The restaurant is in a strip mall with ample parking. Many Virginia Beach restaurants are similarly situated, so this is the norm. The restaurant is tastefully decorated. There are two bars and a fair number of tables. Our server was very nice. She did not rush us and was pleasantly attentive during our meal. We sampled three different cocktails and all were delightful. The food was delicious. We will definitely return when we are in the area.”

“I met a family member for lunch yesterday and Julie W. waited on us. She was very nice and kind, checking on us without being intrusive. The food was also good (especially the "ultimate chocolate cake", lol), but I wanted to commend Julie W. for the great service, it was appreciated!!”
“Our dining experience was amazing! The customer service we experienced from the moment we walked in the door was outstanding! The employees make you feel so welcomed even on busy day! Our food delicious and came out rather quickly inspite of the restaurant being full. We will return! Thank you to your entire staff for making our Saturday morning breakfast wonderful!”
“I have been coming here for quite some time now and there has not been a time that I have eaten here and have had a BAD meal. Never has that happened. All the staff are very professional and courteous toward all clients that eat here. It is composed of a Wonderful Greek family doing what they know how to do. Prepare food in the best way they know how to. Fresh and delicious each and every time. I am getting ready to move to the Richmond area, I will miss going here a lot. The staff is the most on point of any people I have seen. Very polite, great personalities, exceedingly friendly to anyone who enters the establishment. Honestly, I will miss seeing all of you there until I return one day for a visit. May you all have a wonderful year and a beautiful Holiday Season this and every Year. Love to all and do not forget to keep making that one dish I always get when I come in. Maybe you can name it after me. HA Your friend for life. Art Schultz (save me seat #6)”
“Mermaids in Virginia Beach is a lot of fun!! Went in there the other night with some friends and the girls were so friendly, they made us feel right at home. They were amazing to watch! I was told they are getting ready for the Pole and Floor show competition on Saturday, May 18th. I think that's worth going to just from what I saw. The specials were fantastic and the menu was great for either a late night snack or a quick lunch. The music was good, kept everyone upbeat and the security was visible, but not over imposing, and that made everyone comfortable. Can't wait to go back and drag a few more friends out! Of course I would feel comfortable walking in there alone for a drink and a snack :)”
“This is without a doubt one of the best family Mexican restaurants in Virginia. I'm from the West Coast and lived on the best Mexican food available where the ladies made corn tortillas by hand in front of you. While no Mexican restaurant does that here on the East Coast, you won't believe how good the food is at the Shore Drive, Tequila Jalisco. (Don't waste your time going to the other Tequila Jalisco's as it all depends on the chief.) The best chilies relleno I've ever eaten and each one of their steak dishes are unbelievably tasty, or go for the fajitas or one of their big fat burritos and be sure to treat yourself to their home made guacamole with chunks of avocado, all with a well made margarita. It took me a long time to find a decent Mexican restaurant here in Virginia Beach, but I've now found a home with friendly servers and a warm atmosphere. Life can be so good...”
“We made reservations(easily) for a 6:30 Anniversary dinner specifically on a Thursday night to take advantage of the "SPECIAL", 2 16oz king cut prime ribs W/roasted asparagus and potatoes au gratin casserole, a bottle of wine(our choices were shiraz or rose), and a dessert(our choices were KEY LIME PIE, CARROT CAKE, LEMON BLUEBERRY TIRAMISU, BROWNIE SUNDAY, or RED VELVET CAKE)........all for $70! The service from Janine and Jeff was fast, friendly and knowledgeable and the food!*+ perfection from "Goose" in the kitchen. After dinner, my wife and I spoke with GM Korey Johnson and got a tour of the facilities where we were further impressed with the cigar lounge and the VIP room. Needless to say, we'll be back again and again and I suggest the same for all of YOU that rely on the customer reviews as we do!! TY”

“This has got to be on of the best experiences I have had in a long time. I went Saturday night and let me tell you the staff, waiter and food was all phenomenal. I recommend if you can to try this place out. I couldn’t have asked for better. Orion’s roof you blew it out the water !! I could go on and on but I feel like others should find out for themselves. Thank you for an amazing experience and delicious dinner. That steak was melt away in your mouth. Unbelievable. I will be back!”
“My wife and I come here often for special occasions! Last night, we celebrated my wife’s birthday. Casey was our server and she was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She consistently checked up on us and made the experience amazing. Of course, a reason to come to the Hunt Room is the atmosphere. So romantic and cozy. Had live music which only added to the experience. Our food and drinks were perfect and my wife said it was the best birthday dinner ever. Thank you to the Hunt Room for making our night out so special.”
“Stopped in for breakfast twice. Extensive breakfast menu better than Dennys. Very friendly & efficient staff. To avoid vacationing crowds arrive before 8:30am. Classic decor right out of 1960/70's. If you are culturally sensitive you may not like but reminded me of my childhood. O ly down side was the coffee. OK on fist day but ultra weak the next.”
“💖We picked up a Family Pack here tonight for a family that needed a blessing : ) - and it was EXCELLENT! ready very quickly, nothing was missing, the food was great, and Hunter at the pick up desk was beyond courteous and helpful!! And oh yah - thank your for the awesome peanuts!!”
“I'm in Virginia Beach for work and I have to say the food was absolutely amazing . I went twice this week . But, the customer service is far better than the food !! My server yesterday EMILY WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD AT A RESTAURANT !! John the bartender on Monday 10/21 and the hostess ( I forgot her name black younger woman with a long weave ) . Were absolutely phenomenal ! They offered great suggestions for food and drinks . I wanted to leave and try another restaurant with would food but, those two customer service made me stay . All 3 are a gem that you don't find anymore in customer service . No matter how great the food maybe at a restaurant customer service is the most important part . They exceeded my expectations ! I went into work and told my coworkers that live in Virginia Beach they must try this place out ! The chicken, mac n cheese , and bisque are by the far the best !! Next time I'm in VA I WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK !!”
“We walked in wanting to have a great steak and definitely was not disappointed. Excellent waitress...Alaina I apologize if it wasn't spelled correctly but she was FABULOUS...me and my partner had the crab cakes. Phenomenal...definitely will revisit again next time we are in Virginia Beach”
“The food is always top tier! Especially the oysters Rockefeller! Christopher was our waiter and he is the best with friendly helpful service as well as a super nice guy! We did miss the cornbread but the crab dip and naan were delicious. I need to mention the crab cake meal was superior. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience again.”
“I don’t care much for pizza, but my husband loves it. We went here last night to watch football and have a couple beers. Our bartender was fantastic and so helpful and explained the menu as well as being open to any questions. I don’t like regular pizza but I do love a white pizza. They made us a half white and half meat lovers that changed my world!!! I actually ate more than he did and that has Never happened!! We will be returning because we wanted one of most everything on the menu!!”
“Went for Thanksgiving. The traditional turkey centric option was enjoyed by everyone but me! Instead, I went for the menu and was treated to a wonderful full rack of lamb, asparagus she-crab soup, and pumpkin cheesecake. Everything was perfect and the very meaty lamb chops were cooked and seasoned exquisitely.”

“My family and I were on vacation looking for some pizza. Came across this place and so glad we did. The food and service were fantastic. Got to love a restaurant when a general manager comes by checking on your table. She even gave my 4 years her own pink apron to wear why eating pizza. My daughter’s pizza was huge and cook just right for a kid, not over done and a little chewy. Our pizza was out of this world. The pepperoni and sausage were so tasty. The wood fire oven gives the pizza this awesome crust. You can’t go wrong trying anything at this place. Soooo good.”
“First time at this CAVA location and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh, the drinks were great, and even though the line was long it moved super fast. I was on a time crunch because I had to get back to work, but I was in and out in about 10 minutes. Perfect spot for a quick, tasty lunch I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“My husband and I went yesterday to celebrate our 19th marriage anniversary, and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we walked in. We loved sitting at the curved booth too! Our server Larry was the best! He made sure my drinks were just the way I wanted… And they don’t short you alcohol- just saying! Lol, my husband has a higher tolerance than I and mentioned it. My husband got the whole fried red snapper while I created my own little sampler out of entrees. They were the oxtail empanadas, crab cake sliders and salmon bites. It was all scrumptious! I tried my husband’s red snapper and one of his shrimp- YESSSSS!! 🤤😋🙂↕️ I even made sure to bring even the sauces home with my little bit of left-overs. Looking forward to Father’s Day brunch next month. I’ve already made reservations. 🙂↕️ Thank you to all of the staff, even to the ones we didn’t meet who made our experience that much better.”
“My husband and I came here for the first time today. From the moment we walked in, I knew I was going to love it! The service and hospitality was great. Everyone seemed to be family, and I love that! We waited about 15-20 minutes for our food but we didnt care. The food is amazing! The yellow rice and sweet plaintains are EVERYTHING! Gauva and Cheese empanada's is a MUST! we will definitely be back!”
“I went there last night and had a good meal. The tuna with avocado and mango was a great appetizer along with the fish and she over mashed potatoes was a tasty entree. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating. They gave a sample of paella to try first too! The atmosphere was very family like hangout in a living room with friends.”
“I ordered the Takes 2 to Mango and I have fallen in love & have been Tangoing ever since with can I get there today before closing. LOL
I have been enjoying smoothes my entire life (locally, internationally) but when I had this one, it is simply the best one I have ever had. From the fresh organic ingredients to the slight chunky bursts of fresh ginger are what make this specific beverage a 5 star for me. I consider myself to have a sensitive palate and this passed the test with fling colors. I look forward to exploring the rest of her menu items on my future visits.
I cannot believe I have driven by this business at least 3-5 days a week and haven't stopped in. The service & energy of the staff is impeccable & embodies what supporting a local small business is all about.
There is simply not another place that makes juices & smoothies with Jen's caliber of ingredients & techniques. I'm confident you will find @ least 1-3 items that you just crave and cannot find readily available anywhere close by.”
“The vibes were great and the staff were super friendly and very helpful. The focaccia was definitely the star of our meal. Our kids loved the turkey sandwiches. The pork Italian was delicious. The chicken philly was a little too smokey for me, but that is just personal preference, so can’t knock them for that. Tots & pasta salad were also great.”
“It's always a great experience at Inu Inu. As mentioned before the place is the most authentic tasting we've eaten. In Japan you don't call a server verbally. They used a remote akin to a doorbell. You need anything press the call button and within seconds they're there. The food was excellent as always and I can't rave enough about them. Thank you so much.”
“We frequent Embassy Suites in Virginia Beach often since they opened, and we always make several visits to Article’s Bar and Grill. The only reason this post isn’t a 1star review is because of Christian and Tripp both went above and beyond with their customer service. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They are a true asset behind the bar and know how to make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, we did have a very awkward and unpleasant encounter with another bartender (Lori) on two separate visits. We weren’t the only ones who noticed, her attitude came across as rude and unhappy to be there, which made customers uncomfortable. The first time, we let it go because everyone can have an off day. But the second time, her energy was even worse. I did bring it up to a manager on site, and I truly hope it gets addressed because that type of experience can easily drive customers away. Aside from that, the wings were delicious, and the drinks that Christian and Tripp prepared were great. Until next time—we’re hoping for a better experience overall.”
