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

“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.“

“Born and raised in the Hampton Roads and it took me 43 years to make it here. Definitely wish I started years ago. They have the best gluten free waffles, rich creamy feta (not that cheap stuff), and everything tastes freshly prepared and seasoned well. Check them out if you have celiac’s or gluten intolerant. You won’t be disappointed. I’m looking forward to trying the bagel sandwich and breakfast wrap…both of which can be made GF 👀 Remember, support your local restaurants.“

“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“

“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".“

“Truly enjoyed every aspect of my experience. So proud of you Tameka. Your mom was a sheer blessing. We will be back.“

“If you are feeling adventurous, I encourage to take the drive to this restaurant especially if you love espresso martinis. Every time I go, everything is consistent. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing as well. Menu has many options. The owner is also hands on and is welcoming to guests and appreciative of anyone who comes to this establishment and makes everyone feels valued. Check out their Youtube as well, “The Campin Kitchen”.“

“My Vegan Sweet Tooth is an absolute dream for anyone with a sweet tooth! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel so welcome with their warm, friendly, and attentive service. They genuinely care about every guest, and it really shows in the way they go above and beyond to make your experience special. The vegan doughnuts were perfect fluffy, flavorful, and not too sweet, just the right amount of sugar to make every bite delightful. I especially loved the chocolate rainbow sprinkles, Boston crème, and vanilla rainbow sprinkles doughnuts. The best part they’re completely vegan and allergen-free, including being free of nuts, so everyone can indulge worry free. Every bite was heavenly, and I couldn’t get enough! The atmosphere is just as amazing as the food cozy, charming, and full of positive energy. It’s the perfect place to relax, treat yourself, and enjoy a fun outing with friends. If I could give My Vegan Sweet Tooth a 100 percent score, I certainly would! It’s a true gem, and I can’t wait to come back to try everything else on the menu.“

“Justice was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, they made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their energy was warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. They knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out just right.

What really stood out was how thoughtful and on point Justice was the entire time—checking in at the perfect moments and making sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they truly care about giving great service.

If you’re visiting Milk & Honey, definitely ask for Justice—you won’t be disappointed!“

“This was the best burger I've ever had, the restaurant was very clean and our waiter Fredrick, I believe, was absolutely amazing, friendly and extremely helpful 10/10 service“

“We had the hot buffalo wings to start, followed by the ahi tuna and black rice and garlic and herb chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly. The smoky flavor of the fire grill enhanced the flavor of everything! Easily the best meal we’ve had in Virginia Beach, possibly on the east coast! The service was also great!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Everything that our party ordered was served fresh and was made in house. The key lime pie and the house pickles are must haves. I highly recommend this hidden gem“

“Great food and service! Will definitely come back again !“

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

“I was in Virginia Beach last June and stopped by Vibrant Shore twice. Absolutely loved it. Tried a couple different beers and they were all very good. One night there were a couple very cute and friendly dogs and guy singing out front. Awesome chill atmosphere. Only wish I had found it earlier in the trip.“

“Im always craving a sweet treat especially while pregnant and they are my new go to spot !! Super sweet people so better than being served by a grouchy teenager at Rita’s. The owner even carried my gallons to the car for me since I’m pregnant.The Italian ice had so much more flavor and truly tastes 1000% better and they are black owned !!! They can have all my money just based off that fact alone. Definitely recommend , I got a treat for all members of my family even my dog !“

“I went to Aslin Brewery on a Wednesday afternoon because I had been wanting to try it for a while it did not disappoint! I was given several samples of their beers, which were really good. I had a $12 lunch special pizza with two toppings. I took some beer to go. I definitely will be back here and I was really impressed with the service and the food.“

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

“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“

“Quaint, tasty, homey. Love everything about this place! We come all year long and enjoy the food and the staff!“

“I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was delicious! I loved the fresh ricotta! The cookies did not disappoint either!“

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

“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.“

“Outstanding food and first class staff. Highly recommended“
