“awesome good, the best server on the oceanfront.. as new locals we will be regulars..“

“Wow! What a hidden gem. We have lived here over 43 years and this by far, the best seafood restaurant we have been to. We were given a gift certificate as a gift and had never even heard of your amazing restaurant. You get 10/10 forks and that is only the second time I have given that high of a rating. We will be back soon, even though its a 40 minute drive to get there! Thank you for everything you offer. Perfection plus.“

“Being from New England I came to try it. Food was great but next time I will try the Fisherman's platter with whole belly clams“

“Great food,and service.....Our bartender Judy,was awesome....will definitely be back“

“Best she crab soup ever! A trip from upstate New York to enjoy your soup - bar none - it’s the best.“

“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!!!!!!🫶“

“My family and friends dined at this restaurant for over 40 years and the food and the service were always the best!“

“Amazing our server was the best ever and so was the manager.“

“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“

“Our food was delicious, the Mahi Mahi tacos were amazing! But even better than that was our service. Kayla was so sweet, attentive and on top of everything for myself and my two girls! Highly recommend!!“

“The server may had been new but we had to ask for things that should have been given with a normal meal. We were unable to use the 15% coupon because when you sign up it doesn't tell you till afterwards that it is for online orders only. Our server offered us a 10% off coupon to make up for the misunderstanding. Only to be told by the manager he wouldn't allow her to apply it. That surprised me because I spoke to him about the horrible microwaved mashed potatoes which he lied and said they weren't microwaved. Won't be returning. You get one shot to earn someone's business and unfortunately they failed.“

“Great vibe and atmosphere! Drinks were solid and the staff was super friendly. Perfect spot to hang out with friends.“

“Great crab legs, friendly staff, and clean establishment.“

“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!!“

“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 entrée came with 2 sides, so I ordered 2 Caesar salads — but I got charged for the second one without being told it would cost extra. Same thing with the butter… charged without being told. 🤷‍♀️ Why? I have no idea. That said, the food was good! The lemon meringue ice cream sandwich? DELICIOUS!!! 🍋🍨 Just make sure you ask if anything is extra before you order.“

“Monday to treat myself for a late Mother's Day because I had to work at my restaurant on Mother's Day after enjoying a great meal the only seafood restaurant I eat at is Dockside and I live an hour and a half away but after my meal realized I locked my keys in the car the manager Angie hope to me in every way possible for the 3-hour wait that I had to get into my car my phone died so she had to relay all the tow company messages to me she kept checking on me she went above and beyond and she doesn't even know me that's what was so amazing to me that if she could do all this for somebody she didn't know wow I can see why she is a manager to oversee that restaurant which is not a very easy job to do the cooks are exceptional every meal and every experience I have ever had there has been good and Monday they have no idea how they made my day a little kindness goes a long way thank you Dockside“

“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 food and staff, frequently eat here, but stay clear of Friday nights and Saturday nights if they have live music or karaoke because it is so loud you can’t hold a conversation with anyone at your table and it is LOUD.“

“Tuesday "She Crab" soup was a little thin. But the good company was delightful. Maddie was really great in on the back bar yesterday.“

“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.“

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

“As always, rumrunners are great and the food is delicious. Best crabcakes anywhere.“

“I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Crabby Cali Seafood and he is truly a genuine down-to-earth person. Finding out that he’s a military veteran was a big plus for me and definitely added to the experience. The restaurant itself is small and cozy with seating for about seven people which gives it a welcoming personal feel. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. I ordered the Crabby Cali Cake combo sandwich and it was delicious. You can tell care goes into the food the homemade sauce really brought everything together and made the sandwich stand out. Simple flavorful and satisfying. If you’re looking for a friendly atmosphere and quality seafood with a personal touch this spot is worth checking out.“

“Delicious food and great service.“

“Absolutely charming place with beautiful views of the water friendly staff delicious drinks, and the food was perfect. Could not have asked for a better meal!“

“The food is always top tier! Especially the oysters Rockefeller! Christopher was our waiter and he is the best with friendly helpful service as well as a super nice guy! We did miss the cornbread but the crab dip and naan were delicious. I need to mention the crab cake meal was superior. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience again.“
