“Best crab cakes I’ve had in all of Norfolk. Every time I have eaten here my dish has been amazing. I know their menu changes depending on their specials but the seafood gumbo was delicious and their rockfish special was some of the best white fish I’ve ever had at a restaurant. And every time we go we get the oysters as a starter and they never disappoint. The seafood they serve is high quality, service and atmosphere are great. This place is a hidden gem in Ocean View.“

“I was recently invited to go to Sanctuary Norfolk. It was my first time visiting this Sports Pub and Taco Joint. I was pleasantly surprised.. This place has a very friendly Atmosphere, both the Local clientele and Staff.. Rob our bartender took time to demonstrated the bottoms up beer dispensing system, which as the name implies, fills your draft beer glass from the bottom up, resulting in a perfect pour. I was most impressed, as I had never seen one of these before. Rob took our order, I ordered BBQ Chicken Taco’s, they were most delicious.. I highly recommend them. To our surprise they had two Foozball tables. I haven’t seen a decent Foozball table in an establishment in years.. Our party played several games of Foozball, we ate delicious Taco’s and had a couple perfect pour draft beers.. We had a great time... The place had a nice clientele, but wasn’t so busy that Rob wasn’t able to play us a game or two of Foozball in between taking care of his customer. I enjoyed playing Fooz, with Rob, although I was no real competition for Him, as he easily beat me. But, I didn’t do to bad, I think he was sandbagging some or else I think I might have lost worse than I did. Overall, I really liked this place, the Staff and the food were great, I will be going back... I understand they have Taco Tuesday Foozball Tournaments, for anyone looking for a place to play.. Rene Pierre tables just like the old days.“

“Went for a murder mystery dinner we had a ball the of Maverick Mystery was awesome the security guard Mr. Green was also polite and professional he works all through downtown Norfolk this was a great night the food was good and drinks had all of Va Beach natives hooked great time we will do it again thank you for the experience!!!“

“It's Sharks now, but has kept up (if not somehow improved) the reputation for great food, service and vibes over the many years I've been going here.Karaoke is top notch, and the food is amazing, well priced and a good portion.Highly recommend the wings, and if they're still doing them when you come by, the fried zucchini bites. Salads are highly recommended here as well.The staff are all friendly and do great work, shame I can only give 5 stars!Parking: There's a decently large lot here, but on karaoke/pool league nights it can still get full. Show up a bit early or use a rideshare service/carpool if you can!“

“We were the first customers for the evening, and the place was quiet. Service was decent, we had a waitress in training. No issues, just took a while to come back to get our food order, after our drink and appetizer orders were taken and delivered. We ordered the octopus, fried green tomatoes and she-crab soup, all were delicious and tasty. For entrees we ordered the short ribs and the steak, they were well plated and garnished. And the steak melted in my mouth.. I have no complaints!!“

“Great place for a meeting or just a relaxing afternoon with my wife. Love the Tealux Signature Milk Tea and the smoothies.“

“This was hands down the best food I've had in Virginia since moving here 7 years ago. My husband and I have struggled finding a family friendly place to eat that's not a franchise and the same old crap. This place cooks with love. My hats off to the chef because we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The Fried Pimento Cheese Balls were heaven. Our burgers delicious and our children who are as picky as you can get said they want to eat here everyday lol. Thanks for a beautiful dinner!“

“The food was great but I really like the drinks we had a great time“

“THE FOOD! Can’t wait to visit from MD and have more!!“

“Loved it great party space and friendly staff“

“Cute coffeeshop in the heart of ODU. I was in the area during my lunch break and decided to give a new coffee shop a try, and Yelp led me to this place. When I walked in, I was greeted right away. When I approached the counter to order, I did what I normally do when trying a new place, I asked the employees what they recommended, and they were happy to share their favorite drinks choices with me. I decided to try the Apple Jack Chai, which was one of the drink specials. Their drink sizes to me seem smaller than the average coffee shop, but I am ok with that because I feel like our portion sizes are crazy anyway, lol. When I received my drink, I loved that they gave it to me with the top off so I could see what I was getting. I took one sip, and I was like, "This is good," Then I took another sip, and I said "wow this is really good." It wasn't overly sweet, and all the flavors that you love in a chai (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) were all perfectly balanced and played very well with the apple flavor. As I was driving back to work, I only had one regret.....I honestly wished I ordered a medium, it was that good. I will defienly be returning to Borjo Coffeehouse again to try some more of their drinks.“

“06/10/05I had a blast at this bar. Go during a car race. They give drinks for crashes. I asked for a menu in this place, they gave me a pizza shop that would drop off. The balls on these people.So much fun. Be respectful and you will have fun.“

“They have the Best service in the #hamptonroads“
