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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Very cute, food was delicious.“

“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..“

“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".“

“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!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Great service and very good food!“

“Pungo boys feels is a home away from home. food is great and people are even nicer. Thanks for the hush puppies. Will definitely be telling more people about this spot.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“The best bite I had all week. Still talking about it! First time I’ve ever tried to Chai Tea as well… can’t wait to go back.“

“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!“

“Food is great, with large portions. Service is super. Prices are bit high. But it is in town center and the rent is probably high. One other negative is the parking. But there is a parking garage within the same block and that is very helpful.“

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our second time visiting (our first was last June), and once again the experience was absolutely amazing! The seafood is super fresh and flavorful, and there are even some tasty options for those in our family who don’t care for seafood. Our waitress was, Cassie, she was wonderful—attentive, kind, and so patient with my son, making sure his sweet tea was always full (and trust me, she refilled it at least 5 times without hesitation!). She even handled a food replacement with such a great attitude, which we really appreciated. What touched us most, though, was seeing Alex again, who had been our server last year. She actually remembered us and came right over to say hello and check in on how we were doing. That kind of genuine care and connection is rare and made us feel so welcomed back. We left with full bellies and full hearts. We’ll definitely keep coming back whenever we’re in the area!“

“Excellent place for brunch, first time here and everything was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and our server Brittany was outstanding. We will definitely be back to try out their excellent dinner specials!“

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

“Absolutely delicious food and drinks!“

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

“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.“

“go to it. everyone is nice and it's a fun atmosphere“

“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“

“Delicious food, and friendly staff. A great place to get away for a little me time.“
