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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.“

“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!“

“Best diner food!! Biscuits and gravy rock!!“

“The vibes were great and the staff were super friendly and very helpful. The focaccia was definitely the star of our meal. Our kids loved the turkey sandwiches. The pork Italian was delicious. The chicken philly was a little too smokey for me, but that is just personal preference, so can’t knock them for that. Tots & pasta salad were also great.“

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

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great“

“Delicious food and great service.“

“Stopped in for breakfast twice. Extensive breakfast menu better than Dennys. Very friendly & efficient staff. To avoid vacationing crowds arrive before 8:30am. Classic decor right out of 1960/70's. If you are culturally sensitive you may not like but reminded me of my childhood. O ly down side was the coffee. OK on fist day but ultra weak the next.“

“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.“

“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".“

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

“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!“

“Place is awesome. Food was great. Best place I have eaten for breakfast in VA Beach.“

“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.“

“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“

“My son introduced me to this place. And I'm so happy he did. You can't go wrong from the large selection of flavors to choose from because each flavor is delicious! Each spoon is filled with it's natural taste.
This ice water maintains its firmness which means it doesn't melt as soon as you're out the door.
I've purchased several gallons to serve at different large events. Everyone loves it!! Items are reasonable priced and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their product. I highly recommend this place all year long. You'll find out that you can't get enough.“

“Nice atmosphere, wonderful service, and delightfully delicious ? I definitely recommend!!!!“

“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🤍“

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

“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!!“

“Used to be my favorite place to go, but haven’t been there since the 80s will be back in October and will be the first flight. I go when I get back to the beach love zero grub steak and cheese with peppers“

“Wowza! Some of the best Italian cooking in town. The flavors are off the charts. And then desert to go for later! We will definitely return to try another dish! 😋 And I might add the atmosphere was perfect and not LOUD like a lot of today’s restaurants.“

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

“100% recommend! Favorite restaurant on the beach. The owners and workers are undoubtably some of the kindest people we have ever met. The owners work so hard to please everyone that comes into their restaurant. They remember our family each year and welcome us with open arms, tasty food and drinks. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality.“

“Great service, delicious food, fabulous Margaritas! They were busy, we had a party of 7, they moved stuff around for us and got is fed. Fantastic restaurant. We will definitely be back next time we are in VA beach!“

“Natalie is our favorite waitress. She’s amazing and highly attentive. Highly recommend anything on the menu !“

“This winery is a little hidden gem and not only is the wine & adult slushies they make flavorful but Maria & her staff is also incredibly friendly. They host a variety of fun events from creative workshops to drag bingo and dancing lessons. Maria gives back to the community by allowing a grief support group to use a private room in her winery free of charge on the 1st Friday of every month. If you are lucky you might get to meet Thunder, the sweetest fur baby. Support local & go get a bottle of wine (or 3) to share with friends, you won't regret it.“

“The layout sets the vibe with and a rooftop area that overlooks the entire location. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Lots of games for adults and kids to play. There is when a small putt putt golf area. I haven't tried the food but it all looks good. Plenty of drinks on tap and canned.“

“It was very dog friendly and I got to eat pizza crusts!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Fantastic food, cool vibes Check it out“

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