“omg, fast, friendly, warm atmosphere, and SO SO good! I'm not in VB very often, but when I am, I look forward to coming back!!”
“Awesome everything - appies, beer, donuts, music, service…all excellent! A+ per usual!!!”
“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!!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Delicious authentic food and friendly service that is unmatched!”

“We live close by, one light away, and coming to IHOP in Hilltop is a regular early morning thing. Tammy our server tonight, was amazing. I didn’t catch what she was dressed up as but the theme for Halloween month is amazing and connecting. Tammy was great from the moment we walked in.”
“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 Indian River location is open 24 hours. The staff this morning was upbeat and friendly. We ordered breakfast croissants for the crew. My hubby got a chocolate shake... Made with real chocolate... It was so rich and creamy! I had to have something sweet and cold too... Got me a vanilla ice cream cone. Yes, ice cream for breakfast.. don't judge me 🤣.. the lady that handed me my ice cream told me that I was the smart one. Everyone else was just jealous so ignore the haters.. then she told me to try ice cream on my waffles sometime... Oh trust that I will be trying that combo real soon. Thank you Burger King Lady! You helped make the day! will definitely be back!”
“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!”
“Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great scene! Great variety of menu options and beer!”
“Being from New England I came to try it. Food was great but next time I will try the Fisherman's platter with whole belly clams”
“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.”

“Absolutely amazing bubble tea! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The tapioca pearls are soft and chewy, just the way they should be. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always provides excellent service. There are so many delicious flavors to choose from, and every visit is a great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves bubble tea. Definitely one of the best bubble tea shops I've ever been to!”
“I went with the eggs sampler and my girlfriend had the breakfast sampler #3. Food was excellent, service was prompt and cordial, the atmosphere is rustic and historic to colonial new world Virginia. We decided on the eatery our first day of vacation and are planning to go back again before our vacation ends to try the pancakes which we hear are a must when you visit.”
“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.”
“My Vegan Sweet Tooth is an absolute dream for anyone with a sweet tooth! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel so welcome with their warm, friendly, and attentive service. They genuinely care about every guest, and it really shows in the way they go above and beyond to make your experience special. The vegan doughnuts were perfect fluffy, flavorful, and not too sweet, just the right amount of sugar to make every bite delightful. I especially loved the chocolate rainbow sprinkles, Boston crème, and vanilla rainbow sprinkles doughnuts. The best part they’re completely vegan and allergen-free, including being free of nuts, so everyone can indulge worry free. Every bite was heavenly, and I couldn’t get enough! The atmosphere is just as amazing as the food cozy, charming, and full of positive energy. It’s the perfect place to relax, treat yourself, and enjoy a fun outing with friends. If I could give My Vegan Sweet Tooth a 100 percent score, I certainly would! It’s a true gem, and I can’t wait to come back to try everything else on the menu.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Today, I had the pleasure of stopping by Dream the La Cream, and overall, it was a wonderful experience! We were greeted by a lovely woman who was happy to let us sample several different ice cream flavors.
My only minor critique is that some of the flavor labels didn’t seem accurate. One flavor was described as pretzel and caramel, but it appeared to have brownie chunks instead. When I mentioned the discrepancy, she wasn’t particularly receptive to the feedback. That said, it was a small hiccup in an otherwise great visit, and the customer service was excellent.
I ended up ordering the ice cream sandwich, and before placing my order, she kindly let me sample the brownie used in it. The brownie was light, fluffy, and just right for my taste. I’m not a huge fan of overly rich brownies, especially in desserts like this, where they can easily become overwhelming. The Oreo ice cream was also excellent and paired perfectly with the brownie.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience! Despite the small issue with the labeling, the service was great, the treats were delicious, and I would absolutely recommend Dream the La Cream to others. I look forward to returning for another sweet treat!”
“If you are feeling adventurous, I encourage to take the drive to this restaurant especially if you love espresso martinis. Every time I go, everything is consistent. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing as well. Menu has many options. The owner is also hands on and is welcoming to guests and appreciative of anyone who comes to this establishment and makes everyone feels valued. Check out their Youtube as well, “The Campin Kitchen”.”
“My husband and I stopped by on our way home. We've driven past multiple times, but since we were hungry this time, we figured we could try their pizza. We came in around 2pm and it was pretty quiet, which was nice. Our server Katie grabbed our drinks, took our orders, and was polite and friendly. The fried pickles tasted fresh, briny, and delicious. The pizza was good with a very tasty crust and tomatoey sauce. The cheese and pepperoni were good. I probably wouldn't order sausage on our pizza again as it didn't taste like Italian sausage, but almost tasted like breakfast sausage, being too sweet. The only downside to our meal was the group of servers standing around to loudly gossip in the hallway right next to the dining room. And the group of children that came running out of the game room in the back rattled the entire room, sending our table and booth to shaking. We'll be back to try them again and look forward to the garlic knots we keep seeing mentioned! Food: 3.5 out of 5 Service: 4 out of 5”
“By far the best pizza and wings in the 757! The fried mozzarella was to die for! Great food and service! Nicole was an incredible waitress!”

“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!!”
“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.”
“We are a dance team visiting from out of town and Planet Pizza was very gracious to host us. With nearly 100 mouths to feed, they welcomed us in, smiled and served everyone quickly! The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. Thank you to all of the staff for making this part of our trip fun and easy for us!”
“A truly genuine Italian experience with top notch hospitality and some of the most delicious foods I've ever tasted. These are the kinds of meals that make your life better. Best cannoli I've ever eaten (please don't tell my Italian mother I said that.) 5 stars! This market and cafe was so good that I actually wrote a report on it for my VCU International Marketing class.”
“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.”
“Donte was a fabulous waiter. Always pleasant. Always enjoy him waiting on us. He needs a raise. Awesome l! He also remembers people he’s waited on.”
“We had so much fun! I had real tears from laughing so hard. What a fun date night. I will never forget the “police artist” sketch of our table mate suspect. She and her mother nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. The actors were quite good. The salad, appetizers, and dessert was on point. The main course was a bit meh. The bartender made superb drinks.”
“Loved everything about this quaint restaurant bar. Every dish was amazing. My favorite was lamb kofta and mushroom spaghetti !”

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!”

“Outstanding meal and wine selection is huge! Over 2500 bottles to chose from”
“The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Everything that our party ordered was served fresh and was made in house. The key lime pie and the house pickles are must haves. I highly recommend this hidden gem”
“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!”
“My family and friends dined at this restaurant for over 40 years and the food and the service were always the best!”
“stopped in while visiting VB for point break fest. Lobster rolls were AMAZING. owner happened to be in at the time and was soooo nice and friendly. Love to support good people. Didnt even realize there was one in Denver but excited to check that one out now!!!!!!🫶”
“Hello. They have the best shrimp pasta I have ever had in my life!!! Totally delicious! Highly recommend it! 🍜❤️😊”
“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 ❤️”
“Fantastic pulled pork bbq 🍖 ! I wish I would have tried them sooner !”
“Flavorful foods and good service. Every dish we had was delicious. Our server was prompt and took time to answer our questions about the entrees and to make sure we would be happy with what we ordered. Will be coming back”
“Waited 28 minutes to get drink from bar, even our app can before....which was ordered 10 minutes after our drink. When drink finally arrived, it was incorrect and we had to walk to the bar to get it made correctly. When dinner entrées came out, they were both overcooked was not that busy empty tables in the restaurant and empty chairs at the bar.”
“So far the best of everything I have had at Virginia Beach. I cannot express how great it is.”
“First time here and everything was lovely ! We had a 10/15min wait but it didn’t feel like it . Once we sat down our waitress Ivan came greeted us with his kind energy . He took our drink order and food order everything came out fast and FRESH . 1000/10 experience definitely will come back next year on vacation. Love Ivan 🫶🏽”
“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.”
“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”
“Our food was delicious, the Mahi Mahi tacos were amazing! But even better than that was our service. Kayla was so sweet, attentive and on top of everything for myself and my two girls! Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Muy buen servicio, riquisima comida, muy atentos, recomendados al 100%, la mesera (Carolina) muy amable y servicial”
“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!”
“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.”
“Best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had, best in VB. This place should have a line out the door all the time. Every item ordered at the table was excellent. Spice levels are spot on, mild is actually mild and not overpowering. Masala sauce is rich and flavorful. Cannot go wrong with the garlic Naan.”
“I orders bolognese pasta and it was 🤤 delicious. The staff is very attentive and the chef’s talent is so great.”
“The Gringa De Birria con Consume is my favorite meal. This is by far the best Mexican food in the area. Can't recommend this place enough!”
“Great vibe and atmosphere! Drinks were solid and the staff was super friendly. Perfect spot to hang out with friends.”
“We had the hot buffalo wings to start, followed by the ahi tuna and black rice and garlic and herb chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly. The smoky flavor of the fire grill enhanced the flavor of everything! Easily the best meal we’ve had in Virginia Beach, possibly on the east coast! The service was also great!”
“Tulu is my favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach, so when I visit I usually eat at least a couple of meals there. During my visit last week I had lunch one day and breakfast another. As always, the setting, service, and food were outstanding. The menu has changed to a Mediterranean theme and what I had was excellent, although I missed my old favorites from the previous menu. Special thanks to Breann, the breakfast server, and Cathy, the lunch server, for making me feel like a cherished guest. They are genuinely friendly and gracious, and made the difference between a great meal and a memorable one. Thanks to all at Tulu for continuing to provide true hospitality.”
“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.”
“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.”
“Leaping Lizard is such a cool spot! Great farm to table food with incredible service! We went for weekend brunch and loved it! Sweet potato biscuit with ham stole the show! Must visit the baker next door after your meal— delish!!”
“The Xian-Long-Bao (Soup dumplings with pork) we’re to DIE for!! 👌”
“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.”
“A hidden gem offering the best sushi I’ve ever had. I love the mango and strawberries used on some of the rolls. The chef is friendly and has a great sense of humor. Love this place!”
“This is an amazing bar. Huge selection of beer. Level of service is unmatched. Best tacos I’ve ever had. You get 3, I couldn’t wait to eat one before I took the photo.”
“Wonderful dinner food was delicious and service was phenomenal”
“We travel over an hour from the Outer Banks to Las Palmas 3. We were leaving VA Beach and I looked up Mexican restaurants reviews and found this restaurant. It happen to be Cinco Mayo and have been coming here ever since. The moment you walk in the door you have a friendly upbeat hostess ready to seat you. From the moment you walk in it is clear these guys have there stuff together Work well with each other. They are happy, friendly upbeat and organized crew. The food has never disappointed me. Prices are perfect too. We enjoy driving out here because it's worth it and we visit often. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!”
“Atmosphere is excellent, as well as the food Service is great, and prices are reasonable.”
“Natalie is our favorite waitress. She’s amazing and highly attentive. Highly recommend anything on the menu !”
“light crowd, they were on the ball. Service tonight was on point. the musician and artist EJ Bollman was excellent, very talented.”
“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.”
“We had my daughters birthday party here and the staff was amazing and made her feel so special!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Monday to treat myself for a late Mother's Day because I had to work at my restaurant on Mother's Day after enjoying a great meal the only seafood restaurant I eat at is Dockside and I live an hour and a half away but after my meal realized I locked my keys in the car the manager Angie hope to me in every way possible for the 3-hour wait that I had to get into my car my phone died so she had to relay all the tow company messages to me she kept checking on me she went above and beyond and she doesn't even know me that's what was so amazing to me that if she could do all this for somebody she didn't know wow I can see why she is a manager to oversee that restaurant which is not a very easy job to do the cooks are exceptional every meal and every experience I have ever had there has been good and Monday they have no idea how they made my day a little kindness goes a long way thank you Dockside”
“I went to Quemar Wood-Fired Cocina this past weekend and visit with my friend & Executive Chef Jeff Ullom and the experience was nothing less than Phenomenal!! As soon as you walk through the door you know there’s something truly special about this place immediately from the ambiance, a large bar/fine dining side and bar and club lounge on the other side. The food preparation & artistry with presentation is amazing visually, more importantly absolutely delicious to say the least. This place is not a recommendation, but an absolutely must try for anyone wanting to experience a great time, amazing food, and modern, upscale, environment by yourself or with friends and loved ones!! Thank you again Jeff for such an Amazing experience. You’ve absolutely stepped this Venue up a huge notch sir!! 😎 I had the Argentinian Grilled Fish, Charred Brussel Sprouts, Grilled Carrots, and Esquites.”
“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.”
“Great food every time. I have been to the Norfolk location and the Virginia Beach location and they are both top notch. Everything I have tried is excellent. Last time we got the Smoke Stack Sammich, which includes brisket, pulled pork and their smoked sausage. It is so tasty and you get a bit of everything. The pork belly is great. The pork rinds are the best you can get. The wings with the dry rub are killer. We got the Tommy Boy, a sometimes Friday special, the best pastrami sandwich at the Beach. I haven't tried anything I didn't love yet. The staff is always on the move and is always very friendly. Already planning our next visit.”
“Great location second time being there and still love the food and service. The staff was as awesome as the first time 🙏🏾.”
“clean, good tasting food, and friendly service. I enjoy dining in or take it home. it always tasted good.”

“Great staff, good food, live music, fun atmosphere. No cover charge, come as you are!”

“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)”
“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...”

“My husband made reservation for my birthday dinner and pre-baby/mommy-daddy date. The hall entrance, you’ll walk by structural facade with some arts and crepescular lightings. We were greeted by Noel with kindness and great conversation asking us where we are from, I’m from San Diego and my husband is from NY! Asked us if we have been at Orions before and what brought us to Orion’s etc, which is a good quality for any upscale restaurant manager to build rapport with customers. We ordered three of Wagyu dishes, two specialty sushi rolls, filet mignon (which was savory & tender!), edamame and topped it off with the Krispy Kreme bread pudding with vanilla ice cream on top. A wine for the husband and mocktail for me. Dustin was our server and he is very attentive, we appreciated his honest recommendations. We will definitely be returning again.”
“Absolutely amazing experience and delicious food. The food was top notch but what was even better was the service by Laura. She went the extra mile to ensure we had an unforgettable dining experience and a one of a kind anniversary dinner. They are lucky to have someone like her on the team because we’ve never had service that compared to hers. The prime rib was very tasty and a great value— I thought a $12 baked potato would be underwhelming but it was fluffy and well seasoned. We loved the entire experience, thank you!”
“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 !!”
“I went with the eggs sampler and my girlfriend had the breakfast sampler #3. Food was excellent, service was prompt and cordial, the atmosphere is rustic and historic to colonial new world Virginia. We decided on the eatery our first day of vacation and are planning to go back again before our vacation ends to try the pancakes which we hear are a must when you visit.”
“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”

“If you need to eat a gluten free meal this restaurant has a lot to offer. The food was good but what impressed me most was our waiter, Elija. He truly listened to hat we wanted. I am supposed to drink a lot of water and in order for me to do so I can't have it too cold. Elijah got it just right and it proved to me he had great attention to detail. Good job!”
“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!”
“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.”

“I do believe I just enjoyed the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had in my life! This was my first time having Turkish coffee & it blew me away. The coffee was bold yet smooth, with a very nice flavor. The food was incredible, & the service from the owner & staff was 1st class. Loved the decor…very inviting and quaint. I’ll definitely be back in the future.”

He took our drink order and food order everything came out fast and FRESH . 1000/10 experience definitely will come back next year on vacation. Love Ivan 🫶🏽”

This is definitely my go to when VA Beach. Had the Mini Belgian waffle meal, side of ham, coffee, and cranberry juice. $32 +tip..”
“Beach Towne Water Ice came to our school and served our staff this most delicious treat! It is unlike any ice treat I’ve ever had and the staff members loved it as well. It is completely dairy free, but still had a creamy texture. The variety of flavors are also to be commended. I enjoyed how they have good flavor and not extremely sweet. I can’t wait to go to this location to indulge in another water ice!”
“Every time I go here, whether it be in the early morning or afternoon, there are always fresh cheesecakes and treats, and many to choose from. All treats look very appealing and inviting. The place is very clean and simple. The guy who works there each time I visit is always nice and polite, and goes above and beyond. I have nothing negative to say about the people who work there, nor have nothing negative to say about this place. The cheesecakes and treats, such as the cookies and cupcakes, are always fresh and never stale. I love the many variety of different flavors they have available. I highly recommend to all those who love sweet treats and cheesecakes!”
“Rachael was kind and patient! Excellent service from her. Her recommendations were delicious.
I ordered the power bowl and LOVED the tomatoes and mushrooms. I've only had quinoa once or twice in my life and it was a good mix in this dish w a runny egg and some chalula hot sauce. The pumpkin donuts were a nice bite size. They were cooked perfectly without being dried out. I preferred the caramel sauce over the creme sauce. My husband ordered the traditional breakfast sandwich. The bacon on that was huge! (I managed to snag a piece of it 🤣🤣). We each ordered a specialty drink. My honey crunch iced coffee was super sweet (which I expected, but tasted more like a mocha). My husband's Blazing Dragon was delicious too, which I ended up finishing 🤣)”
“Love the location since it’s at the front of our neighborhood! Coffee is great! We had the Morning Mocha which was the perfect balance of sweet and strong. Breakfast was amazing, their French toast is the best that I have ever had. Such a comfortable vibe and the music playing in the background was very 90s/Dawson Creek. Definitely going back and welcome to Sherwood Lakes Pinup Coffee.”
“First timer here. My husband and i had a reservation. We were seated quickly. The restaurant had a nice vibe to it. We went around 7. My opinion on the indoor seating was that it's fairly too dim in there for my liking. Its a romantic vibe but u cant see your food very well. But my food was delivered hot and it was very good. I had some cornbread served with my fajitas which I thought was odd but hey if u like cornbread then that's your thing. Be aware that the sodas are served in a bottle. Not fountain drinks so u will get charged per drink. Other than that id probably give this place another go.”
“Drinks were delicious! Hangover burger was awesome! Atmosphere was nice!!”
