New American Restaurants in Virginia Beach, VA

“We just had a large birthday party there last night are waitress. Kasey was awesome. There was 20 of us girls and she did not miss a beat. All the food was wonderful. It was my first time there as well as majority of the girls and everything was wonderful from the drinks to the food we will be back.👍“

“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.“

“We wanted to give a shout out to Chris! He was great. He is so personable and kind. We truly loved talking to him. Overall review of bar was outstanding we loved the drinks and French onion soup.“

“Awesome everything - appies, beer, donuts, music, service…all excellent! A+ per usual!!!“

“Ate here Thursday the 10th, food was tasty. The parking was confusing as there were signs all over of the risk of being towed. Asked someone in parking lot how the restaurant is. They stated very rustic but food is good. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Choice of beer on tap was mostly IPAs, not our favorites. Not many Craft beers available. I got the DB Vienna Lager which is always a good fall back when there's nothing else. The IPA my partner had was your typical grapefruity bitter IPA, not good. We ordered a dozen Clams Casino which were made to perfection! And we shared the Blackened Tuna cooked medium served on a roll. Yummy. It came with a little cup of wasabi a little too intense for our taste buds so we asked for tartar sauce instead. This came with a generous amount of Hush Puppies with butter on the side. I have never been offered butter with my Hush Puppies but I will be asking for it this way from now on, delish. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.“

“Great times to be had at this fine establishment.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Eggs Benedict and the lavender cappuccino were so flavorful“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the 757. Vibes always on 100, service never disappoints.

Bathrooms are wonderful and clean.
Never had a bad order.
Been coming here for 10yrs.

Great Bar selection along with alcohol free (mocktails)“

“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!!“

“Great food,and service.....Our bartender Judy,was awesome....will definitely be back“

“Good food and GREAT drinks and service, highly recommend! I have the pleasure of having Sydney M. serve me at the bar on my last few visits, she is awesome! Go see her..“

“My first time dining at Terrapin and the service and food are amazing!“

“Very cute, food was delicious.“

“Great prices and chill atmosphere. All the entrees were tempting but quite fun indulging in a tapas selection!“

“Food was pretty good. Service was great! Disappointed in the cheap Verdi “ champagne “used for mimosas.“

“I've been there twice and I really love the service, friendliness, and the food is great. I'm going again today. So much to choose from it's hard to just order one thing. I would love to see them on Guys show“

“Absolutely excellent food! Wonderful wait staff. Atmosphere is great and great tunes!“

“The food redeemed the initial impression of this place. Five 20-something females were gathered around the hostess stand chatting and finally acknowledged us, only to dismiss us with a proposed 15+minute wait because of "reservations." I defy anyone to find "reservations" on the website, FB, etc. for this restaurant on Pleasure House Road. The unfriendly attitude surprised me as VB is a tourist town and not just down on the strip. Because we had another engagement, we opted for dinner service at the bar; which is a bit too tall for comfort. The bartender was busy and we waited. We were finally able to order and had very good crab cakes and seafood Alfredo (a little watery). The surprise was the succotash ; which I would never ordinarily eat because lima beans are a hard NO. This succotash was made with edamame; very creative and tasty. Throughout the meal we watched several tables remain empty and the group of girls continue to cluster at the hostess stand. Management might want to eliminate some payroll overages. One last thing was a slovenly and surly looking young man with more hair hanging in his face than seemed hygienic; so glad he didn't serve us! As the start to our date night this was not a great success, but we had a good meal. This restaurant is recommended with "reservation".“

“Very good food and service.“

“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 ❤️“

“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 :)“

“We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere so much! Our waitress Erin was amazing! Great place to eat with top notch service and tasty food!“

“PONGO BOYS BBQ IS #1 !! All I can say is try it yourself and you will be impressed as well ! We will 100% be repeat customers and we are from New York !“

“The food is superb! Very generous portions. Great service from Maddy.“

“Great little spot for breakfast and lunch with reasonable prices and tasty food. I had the club sandwich, which was fresh and satisfying, while my husband ordered the Zombie, labeled as a local favorite. He really enjoyed the homemade chili in the dish and said it added great flavor. He did wish the burger patties had a bit more seasoning, but overall, it was a hearty and delicious meal. We’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu.“

“Place was amazing! The service was by far superior ! Meghan was amazing super friendly , food super good ! Mimosas was yummy 😋. Cant wait to go back“

“Great selection of beer, love that they have sours! The food is delicious and the staff is always awesome. It’s a fun place to hang out with our friends the atmosphere is is welcoming and relaxing 🙂“

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

“Went here for my Birthday. Party of five. Excellent treatment, Excellent food and atmosphere! Soft crab to die for! Everyone loved what they ordered. Had a great Birthday dinner. Bravo Tempt! Coming back for the soft crab.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“great blackened tuna and the meal was wonderful... Nice and friendly wait staff... Great atmosphere...“

“Perfection! Drinks, food, service and atmosphere.“

“Visiting The Bee & The Biscuit for brunch is an absolute necessity when we're in Virginia. Such a special, fun atmosphere with fantastic food and service. The outdoor bartender who has been there for years made my kiddos a makeshift virgin Pina colada they had been wanting as we waited for a table and they loved it. I enjoyed the best (crabby) bloody mary I've ever had. He rocks! As do the rest of the staff! Thank you for sharing your space, history, excellent food, and message of love with the community/visitors ❤️“

“My home away from home. Love the staff, and the service, great prices on drinks. Great food. Upgraded the inside it nice“

“We planned a baby shower on 13 April 2024 at VB National on the Green. Use of the facility was very reasonably priced. Connie and Gladys were absolutely wonderful and the venue was perfect! It was the perfect setting for an intimate group of 50 family and friends. They were very accommodating and allowed us time on Friday to decorate. They designed our centerpieces to bring out the essence of our event. It was a great collaboration and we truly appreciated their time and efforts. Connie was a great communicator which helped tremendously in the planning. Thank you for an awesome event!“

“Never again. They are either short staffed or mismanaged. Yes they were busy, but should never take 30 minutes to be waited upon. More time to receive water that was never refilled and close to 2 hours waiting for food (still not received at the time of this review). Manager ignoring attempts to ask about our order and being dismissed when we were able to speak with them. Seek somewhere else to satisfy your seafood needs. This place ain’t it.“

“Great staff! Super friendly and welcoming. Came for the Bingo night, would recommend!“

“I had a Celebration of Life for my dad here this past Saturday. Everyone was wonderful, respectful, took amazing care of me and our guests. The food was fantastic! Everyone remarked how great it was. The setup was perfect. Seriously, everything was perfect. I can not thank you enough for what you all did. You made it so easy for me trying to have a pre-plan, and then an actual plan, and then the actual event itself. I tried to thank all of the servers before we left but there were also the cooks and everyone else involved who I didn't see and get to thank. So please please let everyone who was part of this know that they all are appreciated. What they all did made a very hard day so much better.“

“Taylor is the most efficient and sweetest bartender. the food is great, the view is unbeatable“

“Great food and service!! Enjoyed the night even more.“

“Party of 11. Considering the people, it was a nice experience. Hush puppies are some of the best I've had. Not greasy in the least. Light and fluffy! Lol.. Seriously , my entree came out a little overdone, they replaced it with no hassle. Mixed up two orders. But that wasn't their fault. All in all, a good dinner.

Parking: Early bird gets the worm.

Kid-friendliness: Booster seat, or highchair if needed.“

“We have eaten several breakfasts - all have been high quality at very reasonable cost. Great waffles. I am now eating dinner here ordered a bowl of seafood soup and chicken street tacos. The seafood soup was amazing- fresh seafood and spices, cream sauce was rich but not too heavy. Tacos were unexpected treat. Fire roasted corn, flavorful chicken, spices were a tasty j*** with nice heat and tamarind .This restaurant should be crowded. Why eat lousy fast food or overpriced franchised food when you can eat here. It does feel odd to walk into the Crowne Plaza hotel to get there but do it! You will be surprised by friendly attentive staff and great food for very little!“

“Absolutely delicious food and drinks!“

“Great breakfast buffet, great staff & intriguing ladies in their pretty Sunday dresses! Would definitely come again!“

“I honestly don't know what else to say except that this place has fantastic service and the food is always heavenly. They did remove one of my favorite pizzas when changing the menu, but I'm always open to try new things and they didn't seize to amaze me“

“Great laid back experience!“

“An impromptu stop at the newest location in Ocean View in Norfolk recently did not disappoint! Having dined many times at the original Holland Rd VB location we were already expecting an on point experience! The decor, hostess, bar service and -ambiance were all warm & inviting. We started our visit with handcrafted MANGO MOJITO w/ fresh mint & Cheese EMPANADAS.. Two golden flaky fried pastry were cooked perfectly, oozed warm cheese, & accompanied by a creamy tomato & a spicy green dipping sauce.. Dinner choice tonight was the Shrimp Mofongo w/ Garlic sauce. A huge perfectly seasoned, & fried basket of mashed plantains held a mix of grilled onions, garlic, peppers & shrimp . The grilled veggies & shrimp were nestled inside the crisp plantain basket and all sat in a pool of more garlic broth, perfect for soaking every savory bite in ! Since the portion was so ample, it was enjoyed once more for lunch the next day. Desserts of Tres Leches cake & Flan will have to be enjoyed NEXT visit as we were stuffed & satisfied our expectations for this location were totally delivered on . Many blessings on this venues success to come !! Pics in the comments attached“

“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 !!“
