First time trying this place and definitely won’t be the last!!!! I got the biscuits and gravy and it was delicious! The lady who took my order at the drive thru was the absolute sweetest! Such good customer service with amazing food as well!!

Disappointed by the Hype – Great Chicken, Terrible Customer Service
I had high hopes for Bobo’s Chicken after reading a glowing newspaper article not long ago. It raved about their “to-die-for” fried chicken and mashed potatoes, so when my daughter mentioned it again -reminded by a neighbor who used to work there - I figured it was time to try it for myself.
She said it was on Shore Drive, which surprised me because I grew up around there and had never heard of Bobo’s.
The place is definitely eclectic: there’s a big tractor outside, and a deer head and duck mounted inside. Quirky decor is fine, but the wall menu was hard to read if you’re a first-timer. Even worse, we were greeted by an unfriendly, clearly irritated woman—possibly a manager- who seemed totally put out by our presence.
Trying to give her the benefit of the doubt (maybe it was hot and the end of her shift), I mentioned it was our first visit in hopes she’d be more welcoming. Nope. She continued to be rude and dismissive while taking our order.
She did tell us the mac & cheese was a house favorite. Personally, I didn’t care for it. The fried chicken, though? Actually pretty good - crispy and flavorful. But honestly, the bad service ruined the experience for me.
If you’re planning to stop by, I suggest going with someone who’s been before so you’re not left trying to decode the menu while hoping you don’t get stuck with the same sour-faced manager. Good food can’t always save a bad vibe.

Food was amazing! The coke was crisp and the ice was perfect! The girl taking our order could have been more helpful seeing it was our first time but other than that, 10/10! The mac and cheese was absolutely fantastic!
Bobo’s Chicken in Virginia Beach is a must for anyone who enjoys good service, chicken and their home made ice cream is fantastic. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

It's great food at a wonderful price. Kind, smiling service people. Old time diner. Nothing special about the decor. Has drive thru. Parking lot is gravel.
