About Bay Local Eatery

Bay Local Eatery is a delightful restaurant offering delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring a great dining experience. The menu features standout dishes such as Shrimp and Grits, Crabcakes Benedict, and the Big AL, which guests have praised for its fantastic gravy. Guests can also enjoy sweet chili wings and famous tots dusted with Parmesan, which have received acclaim for their flavor. The restaurant has a kid-friendly environment with games outdoors, making it an ideal spot for various occasions. However, it can become quite loud inside, so sitting outside is recommended for those who prefer a quieter experience. The décor includes an eclectic mix of nautical items, animal skulls, and church pew benches, creating a unique ambiance. While most menu items are around $15.99, diners feel they get their money's worth through quality and quantity. The owner, Adrian, is known for his love of the outdoors, while his wife Whitney adds her fabulous decorating touch to all three locations. The restaurant also features a tidy exterior area with extra seating and games like corn hole, enhancing the overall dining experience. A note for guests is that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill for small parties, which some find unnecessary. Overall, though, the food and experience are excellent, making Bay Local a recommended choice for a tasty breakfast or lunch.

So far the best of everything I have had at Virginia Beach. I cannot express how great it is.

I came here with a group of six women, and was told a 45 minute wait and that I would receive a text message. There was a bridal party of about seven women, behind me, also waiting for a table. My group waited next to the dollar store by the restaurant. After 30 minutes I went in, and was told we still had to wait. At the 45 mark, I went in and was told our table was given away and we would have to wait longer. I come to find out they went ahead and seated the bridal party. They...read full review

Very low energy place and my waitress reflected it. Asked for the kitchen sink without cheese due to being lactose intolerance, it came with cheese and the ham was also cut into half inch cubes. My wa
