50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Virginia Beach

“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.“

“Beer is good and staff is super friendly. I came right at open (noon) and chatted up the brewer. He was super down to earth and it was refreshing talking about beer with someone who actually knows it and not just a bartender who serves it but doesn’t have the in depth knowledge.“

“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.“

“The best, authentic shave ice this side of Kauai! Delicious flavors and the friendliest staff, we are looking for excuses to go to Va Beach so we can get more!“

“Very good healthy food, great variety, very clean, bakery on premises, friendly staff and large outdoor area for events.“

“Great“

“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..“

“Food was really good and the cashier was very nice to my friend and I“

“The BEST oatmeal I’ve ever had. Followed by the best bagel and smoothie I’ve ever had. I’m in love.“

“We were first time visitors to Park Lane Tavern. Service was truly amazing as the waitress was very informative . I ordered the London Broil with bordlaise sauce. The food was phenomenal. The steak was very tender and juicy. Do not pass on the bread pudding.“

“Absolutely love the iced drinks, as there FedEx driver they always hit the spot in the summer! My favorite is Mocha, 1/2 caff, whole milk. I can pull up and they will have it made before I walk in the door. Amazing staff who are always friendly!“

“Great shoreside New England seafood. Friendly staff, fast service. The people that frequent the place are all so friendly too, it's like they are so happy to be there.“

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

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

“My nephew took me and nieces there on Saturday July 19, 2025. That was our first time there. And the food and service was absolutely amazing. I’m definitely going there again soon. Thanks B.Jordan“

“This is the best bakery in the area! There's always a wide variety of delicious, fresh goodies waiting to be eaten. Want something savory? They have that too!! Sammiches, mac and cheese, all entirely vegan and made in house! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are wonderful. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable about the products.“

“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.“

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

“Friendly environment. The owners are very nice. I purchased a gift card online and sent it to a friend. She received it via text a few minutes after I purchased it. We love this place. Great atmosphere, everyone joins in the conversation’s no feel left out. A relaxed hangout. And you can bring children!“

“Once a year we come to Virginia Beach. It's not complete without a meal at Warriors Taphouse. Great atmosphere, outstanding food and awesome service. The past two years, Hope has been our server. She makes sure everything is taken care of, which includes recommending dishes and specials. The 1/2 dozen wings with their homemade buffalo sauce is on point! The Reuben is layed with corned beef with just the right amount of kraut, melted Swiss and thousand island dressing. Come get ya some!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Lots of options on the menu and a huge variety of desserts. They also have a huge selection of gluten free foods and desserts. The staff was so welcoming and polite.“

“Ate here with my family tonight, we were tired of eating fried, overpriced American food. Let me tell you, this place is a hidden gem in Virginia Beach! Prices are excellent for a large family, and the owner and staff are wonderful human beings. Angelo is a top notch chef, we even purchased 2 bottles of their sauce to bring home with us. All 6 of us agreed this was the best food we have ever eaten, we even splurged for desserts. So good!“

“Found this wonderful little restaurant on our last day at Virginia Beach vacation. Wish we had found it earlier! Food was excellent! The owner , Jeff came out to visit. Very nice. Told him how much we enjoyed the food. Come visit this little diner on the Boardwalk!“

“Fantastic food, cool vibes Check it out“

“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".“

“excellent service and friendly staff...absolutely awesome food at a great price!!!“

“I ordered the catfish platter and omg it was FANTASTIC! And super cheap! I was alittle on the fence since the price was so low but this is the best seafood I’ve had since moving to VB! 10/10!!“

“Outstanding food and first class staff. Highly recommended“

“Very “real” fast food from the bobo kitchen“

“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.“

“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“

“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 🙂“

“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!“

“we love the view, friendly employees and relaxed atmosphere“

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

“Exceptional dishes! HIGHLY Recommend it!“

“Aslin is fantastic IF you visit early on a weekday! The beer is great, the cocktails are top-notch, the food is delicious, and the vibes are as good as the staff! There are also tons of seating options. 5 stars for everything the brewery can control!

I recommend steering clear on weekends, unless your idea of a good time is reliving a chaotic children’s birthday party. There are more kids here than at any playground (30-40+ the last few fri/sat nights), running around, screaming, throwing gravel, playing on the stairs, and treating the place like a jungle gym.

This is coming from someone who actually loves kids?! I just think it’s important to note: if you’re hoping for a chill night with friends/fam on a weekend, this isn’t it.“

“Great staff, food, and vibes 😍“

“delish food and beer!!! we will def be back“

“I love this place, the food is great, the staff is wonderful, maybe the other posters instead of taking tons of pictures just should eat the food when it’s hot“

“Visited over the weekend and loved it! Ordered the pretzel for appetizer, it came out undercooked but staff quickly corrected the problem and comped it from our tab. PB&J burger was DELISH, with some of the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. Our server Andi was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend dining here.“

“This is hands down the best desert spot VA BEACH has to offer. Fresh fresh fruits down to the great service you can’t beat it. 🤤🤤🔥 check them out you won’t be disappointed“

“Amazing team! Made our twins’ birthday very special on very short notice. We’ve loved coming for sweet treats but absolutely recommending now for celebrations. Thank you so much again, Katie, Hannah, Ellie, and Sweet Frog gang🤍“

“Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great scene! Great variety of menu options and beer!“

“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!!!!!!🫶“

“good food. nice people.... that bread though is delicious😋“
