“Food is always quick and delicious. A favorite spot for my my family whether it’s me and the wife or mom and I! Kayla took extra awesome care of us today. I’d ask for her any day of the week!“

“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.“

“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!“

“We had so much fun! I had real tears from laughing so hard. What a fun date night. I will never forget the “police artist” sketch of our table mate suspect. She and her mother nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. The actors were quite good. The salad, appetizers, and dessert was on point. The main course was a bit meh. The bartender made superb drinks.“

“to say AMAZING is a huge understatement. from the moment you walk in till you walk out you feel so appreciated. the staff is so friendly ( treat you like family) the food is so good, the place is clean and big portions. Whenever my parents are in town dad has to come and seriously drink the salsa. love this place!“

“Drinks were delicious! Hangover burger was awesome! Atmosphere was nice!!“

“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..“

“Had a wonderful fun night out with my “ Barn Ladies”The food, drinks and service were so on point!! Heirloom always provides the best of all three😉“

“Such a fun and delicious local spot!! My family loves Sundae Scoop!!“

“Used to be our go to for breakfast even with the usual wait, but after being seated today our waitress took our order, a good 30 -40 minutes for our meal , after 30 minutes I asked our server will it be much longer and she said they were real busy and walked away, like I said Pocahontas was always a must due aleast 2 or 3 times during our week stay across the street at Oceanaire but save your self the hassle and grab the trolley to Sunnyside Restaurant at the south end of the beach, which we will do more often during our frequent times at VB during the year.“

“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".“

“Recent short vacation to Virginia Beach, my wife told me of your location in the Hilltop shopping center. She’d been before, last summer, and had been talking for almost that long about the Greek Burger. We made a trip over for dinner on Monday night—and went back for lunch on Tuesday. Everything was good—from the atmosphere and very professional wait staff, to the hummus, stuffed grape leaves (some of the best I’ve ever had) served with real tzatziki, the burgers, the bread, the tabouli salad, the lamb, the beef shwarma wrap…absolutely 4 star experiences! Will definitely see you next summer—several times.“

“Very good food Worth the wait.“

“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.“

“I don’t care much for pizza, but my husband loves it. We went here last night to watch football and have a couple beers. Our bartender was fantastic and so helpful and explained the menu as well as being open to any questions. I don’t like regular pizza but I do love a white pizza. They made us a half white and half meat lovers that changed my world!!! I actually ate more than he did and that has Never happened!! We will be returning because we wanted one of most everything on the menu!!“

“The best staff, food and fun! Possibly the best owners and family. I felt like I was part of the family. If I could give it a millions stars I would.“

“Session was my first stop when I got off the plane in Norfolk and it did not disappoint. My food was delicious with very generous portions. It is often difficult finding a restaurant with a variety of vegetarian options but they are plentiful here! The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, yet casual. I loved everything about this restaurant, including the owner, Kevin! I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely return on future trips to VB. Thanks Zebbie for the recommendation ♥️“

“Aldo’s is my absolute favorite restaurant! I am a very picky eater. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) , took me to Aldo’s on one of our first dates in 1990. If he was trying to impress me..it worked! Jim, the owner, has been there since the beginning and he is amazing! He has treated us like gold for 34 years now! He has sent wine and dessert over on our anniversary, compliments of the restaurant! He always asks us how everything was and of course, it’s always perfect! I have never had an issue. The atmosphere is incredible, very romantic and relaxing. There is live piano and the wait staff are top notch. Jim only hires the best! They have authentic Italian food that has so much flavor and there is nothing like it! I highly recommend Aldo’s for fine dining and just an overall fabulous experience!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars – A Hidden Gem That’ll Win Your Heart and Your Taste Buds! If you haven’t been to JMT Vegan Eats at 5660 Indian River Rd Suite 110 in Virginia Beach yet you are truly missing out on something special. The moment you step inside you can feel the warmth not just from the kitchen but from the people. The staff greet you like family the space feels bright and cozy and there’s this undeniable sense of care that fills the air. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, laugh, and just enjoy good food made with real love. I decided to go all in and ordered two milkshakes the Vanilla and the Oreo and let me tell you they were nothing short of amazing. The vanilla shake was creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet like the kind of milkshake you dream about on a hot day. But the Oreo shake pure heaven. Thick, rich, and packed with that perfect cookies and cream crunch. It was indulgent in the best way possible and the fact that it’s completely vegan blew my mind. You don’t miss dairy here you forget it ever existed. Then came the Philly Vegan Steak and honestly I still can’t stop thinking about it. The steak was tender and flavorful with perfectly sautéed peppers and onions that gave every bite the ideal mix of sweetness and spice. The texture was so spot on, you’d swear you were eating the real thing only lighter and more satisfying. It’s comfort food with a conscience and it’s absolutely delicious. Next up was the burger and wow JMT really knows how to do it right. The patty was juicy and flavorful cooked to perfection and paired with crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and a soft, slightly toasted bun. Every bite was balanced messy in the best kind of way and bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of burger that makes you pause mid meal just to appreciate how good it is. You can tell the chef puts heart into every single plate that leaves that kitchen. For dessert, I tried both the cupcakes and a strawberry sprinkle doughnut, and they were pure happiness in dessert form. The cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and topped with silky frosting that melted in your mouth. Then the doughnut soft, sweet, and topped with pink icing and colorful sprinkles was like a burst of nostalgia and joy all at once. You could tell each treat was made with care and love the kind of desserts that make you smile with every bite. Overall, JMT Vegan Eats is more than just a restaurant it’s an experience. The food is phenomenal, the service is full of heart, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you belong there. Every dish from the shakes to the Philly steak, the burgers to the sweets, tells a story of passion and purpose. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply a fan of incredible food, you’ll leave JMT Vegan Eats not just full, but genuinely happy. It’s the kind of place you’ll think about long after you’ve left and you’ll already be planning your next visit before you even walk out the door. Trust me once you go, you’ll be counting the days until you can go back.“
