41 Best Seafood Restaurants in Virginia Beach

“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.“

“My husband and I went to Waterman's Surfide last night and we will definitley go back. Food and service were 10+++. Our waitress Dawn was the best. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything. Best seafood restaurant I have ever been to.“

“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.“

“Wonderful dinner food was delicious and service was phenomenal“

“Food delicious, atmosphere romantic and elegant, service impeccable. I had the cutest smiliest waitress ever. She was a short, white female, with beautiful long blond hair in a high ponytail and a white chef’s coat. She’s at the Virginia Beach location and worked the evening of 12.8.24. I hope she gets special recognition for her dedication. Go enjoy this amazing spot!“

“Today we drove out from NC to visit with Santa and Mrs Claus at Mahi's. Great Food, large portions, drinks were great and the wait staff was great. We enjoyed our time with Santa and Mrs. Claus. We were able to take our own photos and we purchased professional digital photos. Thanks“

“This is a big YES for great food, good service and atmosphere. If you love seafood and eating in the beauty of a Marina with all of the boats and the water, you're gonna love it here. They have everything you need and want when UT comes to dinning and a store to purchase swag and other memorabilia. You can also purchase raw food from the store.“

“A trip to any beach is not complete without a crab boil lunch/dinner. After reading the reviews Shaking Crab was my pick and it did not disappoint!! Our waitress was wonderful, the crab legs were very good sized, and the taste of the entire boil was even better!! My family decided this was the best crab boil we’ve ever had. Even the popcorn they brought us when we sat down was delicious.“

“Couldn't ask for a better Restaurant! Food , Service and Atmosphere was Excellent.“

“Have been there a a bunch of times and they have not disappointed us!! Great food and fast service too!! Real nice staff makes it feel like a small town cafe.“

“I got the hot honey wings and they were the best wings I have ever had! The fries were seasoned warm and crispy! The service was amazing so friendly and helpful! The dining area is a small sit down bar style table top very clean and the staff checked in and see how we liked everything! The pictures on the wall look EXACTLY like what comes out and it was all delish! I cant recommend it enough, we will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“One of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach. Everything is excellent and the waitstaff is the best! It’s a small place so I highly recommend making reservations even if you might not need it.“

“One of my favorite places in VB! Always fresh, always so good!!!“

“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.“

“My husband and I ate at Rockafellers this week. The hostess, Sarah, greeted us with a smile and showed us to a table but we noticed an a/c vent blowing directly toward our table. I asked if she could seat us elsewhere. She didn't miss a beat, and took us to a table nearby. The server arrived promptly. She was also friendly and smiling. We ordered drinks and I asked her what her name was when she delivered them. She said it was an unusual name; Hannigan. We both ordered grilled Mahi. The food was delicious. We were so impressed with these two young women who were genuinely pleasant, smiling and cheerful.“

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

“We enjoyed outside seating. The guys enjoyed oysters rockfeller, shrimp & crab legs. I enjoyed stuffed flounder & a delightful coleslaw. A companion didn't have as much success with their meal.“

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