Our group ordered some IPA's - Orange Starfish to be exact, and a couple of well drinks. We had the famous Smash Burgers and a a tuna slider. For an appetizer we had ceviche. We love ceviche but this version had really really soft, almost mushy scallops! No one was a fan of mushy scallops so we ate around them! We're not sure if this is how their scallops always are served, of if we just got a mushy order. Overall the food and service was great and we will be back!

I ended up at Dockside, and man, was I glad I did! First, they offer waterside outside seating, lots of free parking, and $18 specials if you get here before 5pm. The offer some spectacular shrimp, super fresh flounder, and better-than- average crab cakes. Coleslaw was very good. Service is prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I found out that Chowhound recently rated the best restaurants for fried seafood in each state, and Dockside earned the best in Virginia, and well deserved IMHO.

Virginia Beach has no shortage of seafood spots, so a 30-minute wait at a place this large on a…read moreSaturday night tells you something meaningful. Six of us came in around 6:30 for a college reunion weekend, wanting one proper local seafood meal out of the trip. We put our names down and grabbed drinks from the bar before choosing a space to sit outside. The restaurant is really big, with indoor seating, outdoor sea-facing tables, and a little market in the back. There's also a picnic table area with some giant lawn game going, which is where we enjoyed our drinks, making the wait genuinely pleasant instead of something to endure. For our first round, we tried the "crush," the local specialty, and ordered one of every flavor. Fresh squeezed juice, flavored vodka, triple sec, Sprite. Grapefruit and cherry limeade were the winners. The pineapple was awful. None of them were very strong, so after the novelty wore off I moved on to something more my speed (nothing beats a tequila soda). They also have a respectable beer selection. Our table ended up right by the water with a view of the boats, and our waitress was so helpful walking us through the menu, including the fact that lumpia is a local specialty here thanks to the area's Filipino population, which I did not know. We got oysters and three other appetizers, then split one entree between every two people since the portions are enormous. The fried shrimp was the unanimous favorite, and the spinach crab dip, lumpia, blackened crab cake (almost everyone ordered it), potato salad, and hushpuppies were all excellent. All of that, plus roughly two cocktails a person and tip, came to about $50 each, which felt like quite the steal for high quality seafood! Big attached parking lot, docks if you're coming in by boat, and the market sells shirts, hats, fresh crab meat, take-home versions of the appetizers, and fishing basics. There was a bit of a line/wait if you wanted to use the women's restroom (but isn't that the case everywhere?) I would definitely come back here next time I'm in town!!

While food hopping around Virginia Beach, we stopped at Hot Tuna for happy hour. They had a solid…read morehappy hour menu with some really good deals. We ordered 18 oysters, shrimp cocktail, and Brussels sprouts. Everything was excellent--the oysters and shrimp were fresh; however, the Brussels sprouts stole the show. Food was easily a 5/5 for us. The inside of the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. We sat outside, which is more plain and simple, but still quaint and comfortable. Service was professional and attentive, and everything came out quickly. The only thing that missed for us was the margarita. Compared to how good the food was, it just wasn't anything special. Overall, though, Hot Tuna was a great stop, and I'd definitely come back, especially for the happy hour and seafood.

I have been coming to Hot Tuna since my earliest days in the Navy in the early 1990s. The food,…read moredrinks, and service have stayed consistently strong over that entire stretch. This latest stop in Virginia Beach came after 32 hours of travel and almost no sleep. I walked in right as they opened, sat on the patio, and was taken care of immediately. Fans kept the air moving and the outdoor heat manageable. The meal was exactly what I expected; delicious, filling and satisfying; the service matched the quality I have counted on for decades. If you are in Virginia Beach and want a reliable place for a good meal and a drink, Hot Tuna still delivers.

The setting right on the Lynnhaven River is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxed but lively. They have a great bar with delicious drinks, and the food is always on point. My favorite dishes are the flatbread and their sushi both are consistently excellent. It's definitely a local favorite, perfectly located right down the water from Chick's Back Deck and Bubba's. Great vibes, great views, great food. Highly recommend The Porch if you're looking for a classic Virginia Beach waterfront experience.

I gave up and went to the bar. No joke. Food was good but holy crap worst service.... Until the end for the burn. When we finally got water we sat with empty glasses... long enough for me to go to the bar and get refilled and still not see her. Even my son went to the bar for a freakn soda. All of a sudden a table of 6 sat next to us for her to attend and we got our plates removed while my husband was still pulling the food off his plate. Dishes weren't fully clean- I'm being told by my husband and son- and apparently a white hair and residual of soy sauce or something so dishwasher step up your game. I dunno man- 6 years ago we came and hated the service and the food was bland. We came today for our anniversary dinner with an attempt for redemption - service continued to suck, bartender was a bad @$$- food was better than last time. Oysters were clean- so maybe next time we will just sit in the bar. My kid said for the gen A - "overall bunions service; good food- vibe chill but What's the deal with all these flies inside !!!??? Bunions. I'm gunna rate this place a 6/7 ‍out of 10 but overall mid- def bunion service

Bite of Maine has had me in a committed relationship with lobster for YEARS, and frankly, the other…read morelobster spots can stop calling. They simply do not compare. The lobster roll is the star of the show--tender, juicy, buttery perfection piled into a soft roll like it knows exactly how important it is. I will say, the amount of lobster seems to have slimmed down a little over the years...maybe an ounce or so? And yes, I noticed. I have photographic evidence! I've been sending pictures of these glorious lobster rolls to my sister for years purely to rub this delicacy in her face, so I basically have my own unofficial lobster-roll archive. The crinkle-cut fries are another must, especially with a little Old Bay sprinkled on top. That tiny dusting takes them from "good fries" to "hand me another basket immediately." And don't sleep on the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp are plentiful, nicely seasoned, and consistently one of my favorites when I somehow manage to order something besides lobster. I've had the whoopie pies. I've had the Snap Dogs. They're perfectly fine, I'm sure. But this body was not built on "perfectly fine." This body was built on the REALLY good stuff. LOBSTER. Bite of Maine remains my lobster-roll champion. Everybody else is just out here participating. Inside is cool and quaint, lobster eclectic with a community vibe. Service is fast!

Such a cute spot!…read more This is a cute little breakfast spot just minutes from the beach. You walk in and can instantly see that this place really cares about its ambiance. Cute chairs, tables, wall decor, the works! After walking in I was quickly sat at my own table and my very friendly waiter came over to take my drink order. When he did I informed him I needed to be gluten free and he brought me a full blown gluten free menu!! Made me feel super seen as someone who struggles with gluten intolerance. After looking for a bit I ordered the gluten free breakfast sandwich meal. It was fantastic! Would highly recommend. He also brought me their house made hot sauce which is fantastic. My only gripe is the price. I find most beach towns have an increased price across the board so it is what it is but $25 for a sandwich and potatoes is wild IMO. Overall, would come back for sure!
