Parking lot is small, the inside is small and dark but cozy. The menu is small which I appreciate because it does not give me anxiety trying rid figure out what to order. We came here around 1pm on a Saturday in August and it wasn't packed and wasn't busy. The waitress I couldn't catch her name but she was friendly and the only way to describe her was she looks like Tori Spelling (which of course is a compliment). The food was hot and delicious. The burgers were small and I was worried because they were so small it wouldn't fill me up ,or my teenage daughter, up but I was 100% wrong the burgers packed a lunch even though small. I'm glad we found this place, not far from the oceanfront at Va Beach but it's the best food at the beach. read more

Barrel 17 is a wonderful option to grab a meal! Their seating is comfy and I felt we were appropriately distanced from other tables. The wait to be seated wasn't long either. We ordered drinks first and when they arrived, we ordered dinner. Dinner came about 30 minutes after ordering. We all had burgers and there is a great selection of them or you can build your own. My burger was very good. I built my own because I wanted ketchup and Swiss cheese. I did ask for well done and it was a little pink, but tender of course. My fries were also warm, but not hot. But the food and drinks were very tasty and I would certainly go back! 4 Stars! Service was a little slow after ordering, but the waiter was very attentive and my burger and fries were delicious but had the nuances listed above. read more

Decided to try somewhere new for lunch with my friend, and we were both happy that we did. We shared the Fried Pimento Cheese Balls/ Fried Pickle appetizer and really enjoyed it. We both ordered burgers one with onion rings and one with the fresh cut fries. Delicious! I had the Mexicali one and enjoyed every bite! The atmosphere is a fun bar feel. Craft beer as well as bottled beers are available! Our waitress was busy but gave us plenty of friendly attention throughout our meal. Check them out! read more

I ventured from the previous Yelp review recommendations and got the Philly cheesesteak. The meat & sandwich were kind of dry. It wasn't great and I probably wouldn't get it again. The waitress mentioned that they were known for their sweet potato fries. They were okay, definitely sweet, as in added sugar + sugary sauce. For vibe, it was very chill. An adult sized Connect 4 game was located near the entrance. Somewhat of a sports bar/tavern vibe, but also kid friendly (multiple families were there). read more

Food was excellent. We got the fried pickles and pimento cheese, chicken tenders, Mac and grilled chicken/bacon/ranch sandwich. The CBR was one of the best I've ever had. Waitress was very attentive. Only negative is it's extremely loud in the restaurant, makes it hard to have a conversation. We will be back read more

I was torn in giving this place 4 or 5 stars, so I figured I'd round up. My babe and I decided to dine here for dinner last Saturday. My dear and I were already at the beach, so this restaurant was perfect. I tried to call ahead to make sure there was not a long wait... no one answered. Nevertheless, we arrived about 6:30 pm and were seated without a wait. We arrived just in time because the crowd began to pour in. The restaurant was pretty busy even with guest around the bar. Yes!!! The bar seating is back!! The service was a bit slow, but I think that is everywhere. I noticed only two servers on the floor. But our server held her own. The kitchen was a bit slow as well. Because of the state of the world, we get it. Therefore, this was not too much of a concern. We were still served in a timely manner. We ordered cocktails and had appetizers. Both were tasty. The big pretzel and the crab dip. The crab dip was mainly all crab meat... awesome! Our main course, we opted in for burgers. I believe this place is known for burgers. Myself, I had the Hawaiian burger and my dear had the shroom burger. We enjoyed them both. I ordered sweet potato fries and they came with sugar and a dipping caramel sauce like... this was a bit much. But if you have a sweet tooth, dive right on in. Next time, I will ask for them without sugar or just get another side. I recommend you give this place a try. It's not super big inside, but tables cleared within 30 minutes it seemed. Parking isn't that great, so pack your patience. Seems like most locals just walk up. I believe there is outdoor seating as well. We will return sooner than later... esp for happy hour that takes place every day I believe from 2 to 6pm. read more

What delicious burgers! We started with the Fried Pimento Cheese and Pickles. Yum! I got the Jammin G.O.A.T. The burger was perfectly cooked served up on a light bun and topped with goat cheese (but not too much to over power) and bacon jam. So good! read more

Amazing food, quality service and fun atmosphere! I have been back 3 times in the past 3 weeks, definitely recommend!

We have been eating at Barrel 17 for years. We eat out all over town and the service and food is always top notch here. Went last night and our server Anna was fantastic. The food is so good we forgot to photograph our burger and steak subs because we jumped right in and devoured them (well...the subs were so packed with steak we had to bring 1/2 home for lunch today!) It's a relaxed and wonderful environment Plenty of parking right outside. Once you try it out...it will be a "must return soon" go-to. read more

What a fun spot to grab a couple of burgers and drinks! We loved the overall atmosphere of the restaurant-- casual with an old/ industrial sort of feel, like you're eating in an converted building. Well decorated! We were able to seat ourselves and were quickly greeted by our server. I can't remember her name but she was great! We found her to be really funny without her trying. We started with a few crushes, and the Fried Pickles + Fried Pimento Cheese appetizer. Fried pickles are a must wherever we go, but we LOVED the Fried Pimento Cheese! They were crispy on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside. We opted for burgers, but the menu had a variety of options like salads, sandwiches/wraps, veggie burgers and hot dogs. We got the Whiskey and Barrel Burger. Both were delicious and cooked to our liking. Plus, all their burgers are made with Wagyu Beef which makes them even better! Even if you don't get the Barrel Burger, definitely ask for barrel sauce on the side for your fries! My husband got the sweet potato fries which come with a yummy cinnamon sauce for dipping. Barrel 17 is the kind of place I would bring our friends or out of town guests when we just want a place to drink and grub out! We will be back :) read more

Two friends and I dined at Barrel 17 during a holiday weekend. The food was excellent - one of the better burgers I've had in a very long time! The inside was a casual and friendly environment. The side salad was great and the fries were crispy. As a warning, this restaurant is probably not the best fit for those in a rush as it did take a long time to get our food. This could be due to the holiday weekend but aligns with some other reviews. However, if you're not in a rush, I highly recommend! read more

I ordered pickup from here while in Virginia Beach and was really impressed with everything. The inside looked really new and clean. I imagine it is a pretty popular place when operating normally. I ordered the Shroom burger, with a beyond meat patty. The burger was topped with mushrooms, fried onion straws, swiss cheese, and a spicy aioli. It came on a super fresh brioche bun. The flavors all came together perfectly. It was one of the best burgers I have had in awhile. The aioli and onion straws really put it over the top. The burger came with a side of their hand cut fries which were also very good. I would recommend getting a side of their house made ranch with them. read more

A friend and I went here for lunch yesterday and had a great experience. We were seated immediately and allowed to sit anywhere we'd like. It was a nice open space and had great lighting. Our server was incredibly attentive and checked on us often. We both ordered the same meal, which was a Thai salad with medium rare tuna. It was made beautiful and was super refreshing. We know this place is more known for burgers, but it was great to know other options were good as well. I will definitely return in the future! read more

In va beach for a day trip and stopped in for lunch with my family and had the best burger Iv ever had in my life!

Small business, BIG flavour, seat yourself, casual, ALL ABOUT LOCAL, in the Vibe District. Slow your roll and enjoy some great food and we also enjoy mixed drinks. We have been going sence they first opened and have liked it so much we take other people with us. Parking is interesting, don't let that stop you because they are unique and worth trying. Parking is really anywhere you find a spot. We have tried alot of the burgeres. ALL great. We have also tried different sides. The sweet potatoe fries are unique in that they seem sweet and you get a sweet dipping sauce. Some people LOVE it and some people don't. The House cut fries are my fave but my husband had KALE chips and they were great too.. We have picky people in our group and they have all loved Barrel 17. #1- my husband and niece love the games they have to play while waiting for food. They are the fidgety ones. #2- I have a friend that is picky about how her mixed drink is made. All the drinks have been perfect and delightful. Meaning the bar tender pays close attention. She is the drink snob. #3- I have a friend very very picky about reading labels and worried about what goes in her body. She was SUPER pleased about the Coronado Burger. She said high quality meat and quality ingredients. It makes me happy to please the picky people in my life. The painting on the wall fits me PERFECT. I'd rather be someone's shot of whiskey than everyones cup of tea. Try this place out and support your local folks read more

When my group and I walked in me were not greeted for about 5 minutes, after that a lady told us she would be right with us and we stood for another 10 minutes to be seated . Once we were seated it took 15 minutes for us to be talked to by a waitress. She came over and started with " anyone talked to y'all" and took our drink and appetizer order . Didn't take long on that wings were decent . My gf Ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and it wasn't buffalo at all . Pretty disappointing. My friend got a chicken bacon ranch sandwich and was only advertised with lettuce and tomato but received it with onions. My other friend got the same burger as me with everything on it ( I got no onions) when the waiter came over with the burgers she put them down and told us " yall can figure it out " overall just bad service and awareness. read more

Big Pretzel was amazing. Burgers are very good too. Great service. Off the ocean front but worth going to.

It was excellent! Service was so kind and energetic. Their food was AMAZING and their burgers were fire. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Our waiter was so funny and the hostess was very thoughtful. The atmosphere was so chill and exciting at the same time. Recommend to anyone in Virginia Beach to try it out! I would suggest it if you want a 10/10 burger! read more

This is a burger joint! There was a 20 minute wait for seating. However, I did see posting for reservations. Very family inviting. The service was great. Now let's get to the food. I built my burger. The jalapeño bacon jam started out really good but got sweet toward the end. Compliments to the chef. My teen has NEVER cleaned a tray and he did here! Locals and visitors I highly recommend this place. My family and I will definitely be returning as your honorable locals. read more

very good service. food was excellent . we visited three times in 2 days we were in town

Second time here and sad to say it's gone down hill. The burgers were small and lacked the toppings. I had the mushroom burger and onions and there were about 2 mushrooms and no trace of any onion. Brussel sprouts were good, the only positive. read more

Great local gem a few blocks away from the beach. Burgers were delicious. Brussels sprouts were awesome. Not too mushy, not hard. Worthy of a try. We ended our meal with sweet potato fries as dessert. Lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar. And the honey caramel sauce was perfect. I don't care much for honey but the combination with the fries was on point. Best fries I've eaten. read more

Day one in Virginia just off my flight and I inform my friend I'm hungry any recommendations? She drove me to a place not far from her home. I didn't take photos of my lunch (sad), however I enjoyed their Hawaiian Burger with a side of Brussel sprouts. Mouth watering super delicious food. I finished and felt great and craving more. I ended up having dinner in the evening per my God Child's request to go and have dinner with her. I needed up having their wings and Brussel sprouts. Its a must go to place, if you are from the Midwest you need to have a burger here I swear the taste is better then our Angus. I hope all enjoy. read more

My grandson and I have been to Barrel 17 numerous times and we always brag about this place to everyone we know because our experiences have been 10/10. Yesterday we went in for dinner around 5-5:30pm and it's like it was a bit off , we ordered our usual appetizer meatballs and mozzarella sticks but the meatballs were soaked in sauce , the taste was off but the mozzarella sticks were 10/10, my grandson ordered the sunrise burger with fries he devoured the burger but the fries could not be eaten yes they were crispy but the amount of salt on the fries was insane. I had the hotdog with mustard and onions bad choice for some reason even the hotdog was salty as well as the fries not edible at all, I did order the bread pudding to go which was amazing. Over all I get it some days are not the best days but even though it's was an off day with our experience there yesterday we will be back because you can't let one bad apple spoil the bunch. read more

Flat out one of the best burgers I've had in a while!! Great service and wings were perfect!!!
