    SHE CRAB SOUP
    Sarita R.

    Chix has been on my radar for such a long time, and i really don't know what took me so long to check them out, but i'm glad i did. we asked to be seated outside, and we were pretty much seated immediately under the covered patio. being able to see the views of the boardwalk and the beach. i started off with the ghost pepper margarita and ordered a bowl of she crab soup. the margarita was good. i was nervous ordering bc i thought it would be super spicy due to the ghost pepper, but i was able to make it through. & the she crab soup, omgeeeee ... they did not skimp on the crab. and i'm glad of it. it was probably one of the best she crabs i've had. i also ordered the blackened tuna tacos. they were good. the only thing for me is i should've ordered them medium vs ordering them medium well. but that was my fault. my friend ordered the surf and turf tacos, so i got to try that out as well. the steak was seasoned to perfection. they also had a live playing on the night we visited. definitely would say Chix provided good vibes.

    I'd love to give more stars but can't and here's why: the blackened tuna bites were so good! But the hush puppies were mid and the wings were no bueno. We had to doctor them to eat them. And at $18.99 for 10 wings...??? Service was great. Super friendly. It was super crowded but cool ambiance. I'd come back for the blackened tuna bites but that's all.

    We had a blast! The service was awesome, the food was served quick, tasty, and hot. We got seafood, a handheld, soups, apps and all of it was delicious. We were on the patio that had a steady ocean breeze that added to the allure of the restaurant because why be at the beach if you can't see and feel the beach. This will be on my rotation when in VA beach from now on.

    While spending some time at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, we decided to stop by Chix on the Beach on Atlantic Avenue for a drink and a chance to cool off. My wife ordered an Orange Crush, while I stuck with my usual club soda with lime. Both were served quickly, and we enjoyed relaxing while taking in the fun, laid-back beach atmosphere. Chix is one of those places that's easy to enjoy whether you're stopping in for a cold drink, a meal, or simply to unwind after a day at the beach. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient, even when the restaurant is packed. Their positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm create an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. If you're looking for a casual spot with great service at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Chix on the Beach is definitely worth a visit.

    CHIX CRAB DIP
    Stania C.

    This place was an okay place to dine in near Virginia Beach. It was definitely packed and busy around the time we went to eat dinner. We grabbed dinner around 8:30pm but didn't get seated until some time later because there was a wait. We ordered the chix crab dip which wasn't bad. It was nice and creamy and the perfect appetizer. For my main meal I decided to get the Greek hummus wrap. The Greek hummus wrap was good but I got overwhelmed by the feta cheese and something else that was in the wrap because it was too watery but it was good but a bit much. Overall the sandwich was too wet and I was not a fan of the corn salad because it was a little bland in my opinion. As for the service, the service was awesome!

    Steak and shrimp tacos

    The crab leg boil was amazing! I absolutely loved it and the number of mix and match options made this a must eat while on vacation this year. The location right on the beach gave you plenty of great people watching and the fish tacos were on point! You can catch live music while you eat and it was the perfect spot while we were on vacation.

    What a great time!! We were seated on the patio with a cool ocean breeze and some live entertainment. Doesn't get much better than that! Had a couple of margaritas and a tasty burger. For appetizers we chose pretzel bites and calamari which were both delicious and great choices. Kara took great care of us. Highly recommend if you are in Virginia Beach!

    LUMP CRAB CAKES HUSH PUPPIES

    Crab cakes w/ hush puppies (subbed them for the fries & coleslaw). Valet parking just like their sister restaurants. Service was fine, the crab cakes were good - slightly better at Waterman's IMO.

    We went for restaurant week and got a great deal! The scallops were huge and tasted fresh. The veggies were just okay. Nothing to rave about. The crush was delicious. Got our key lime pie dessert to go. It was tart and delicious

    Aww, look at us!

    My sister was visiting from FL and we wanted to sit near the oceanfront for lunch. This location is absolutely perfect! We actually sat outside in July, the breeze from the ocean kept us somewhat comfortable. We ordered the pita platter to start, 10 out of 10! I would definitely get this again, the hummus was so garlicky and the veggies were very fresh! Now for the bad news, I ordered the fried fish sandwich, the fish was way too thick to eat as a sandwich so I took it off the bread to eat on its own, they left the skin on the fish!!!! I couldn't eat any more, it was just not good! You remove the skin for a fish sandwich. My sister got the chicken tenders and she did like them. I apologize for not getting a photo of our actual lunch, sadly you're not missing much. The server was attentive but never checked on how we liked our meal. I would definitely go back for the pita platter. The ocean views are beautiful.

    Always great service and atmosphere. Perfect location for lunch, happy hour or dinner. With beach views and options to sit inside, out or half and half. The view is great they are always busy but that never affects the speed or quality of service. I have been here at different occasions and hours of day and don't have a single complaint. If you have family coming from out of town this is the spot to bring them to. Between the crushes, the food and the views you will not be disappointed.

    Ultimate seafood
    Rebecca B.

    Chix is wonderful! We had an excellent experience while in VA Beach. Walkable and on the boardwalk. Seated with a great view of the ocean. Our waitress was kind, and the food was served quickly. The espresso martini was not the best we've had, but the mango Crush, strawberry lemon drop martini, and lemon drop martini were all good. The goat cheese jalapeno burger was out of this world amazing and so unique. I'm not a big burger person, but it was cooked perfectly medium, the cheese melted into the burger, and the toppings just pulled it all together. The ultimate seafood was expensive, but it was nice to be able to try a variety of seafood while at the beach. Their fries were perfectly crispy. Even the coleslaw was refreshing and a good palate cleanser. The Southwest salad with the tuna was filling and full of toppings. The fish of the day had a flavor forward blackened topping. The crab dip could've used a bit more crab, but overall had good flavor and texture. We didn't dislike anything we tried , and I highly recommend!

    This place I found in a 5 minute window pulling into the beach. The parking lot a little chaotic but have free valet if eating there. Staff friendly and we're seated quickly on heated patio. I got lump crab cake sandwich with fries. Hubby got cod meal with mac and cheese and coleslaw. Everything was very fresh but crab cake was a tad small and it is very loud in there due to the large bar. Try the citrus cake no vodka taste. And this place right on the beach so great views. I will be back and highly recommend.

    I ran the Shamrock Marathon and I always want a good burger after a race and Barrel 17 did not…read moredisappoint. I ordered the Sunrise Burger, subbing hot honey for the mayo and oh-mah-gawsh that was an excellent decision. (The burgers are a little on the smaller side, but I found it to be the perfect size.) I told my husband that the onion rings were some of the best I've ever had. Kyle was our server, and he was incredible--attentive despite being a little overwhelmed. It's darker on the inside because of the wood paneling, but it works for the saloon-adjacent vibe it's going for. Highly recommend!

    Admittedly i don't go down to the Oceanfront often; at least not often enough to know when new…read morethings pop up. So when one of the Homies told me about this place I was all in because - burgers - what's not to love. Barrel 17 did not disappoint; when i got there i realized quickly i was the last to know because it was busy. We had about a 10 minute wait to be seated but that was cut short by option to sit at the bar. The bartender was working like she had six arms. It was non stop; attentive, taking orders, making drinks, checking back with others, she was truly impressive. The places was jumping; it was busy, casual and didn't slow down from the time we arrived until we left. Parking is challenging, there's a small lot beside the restaurant and a small lot behind it so if you can car pool you'll benefit yourselves. Now on to the star of the show - the food! The only knock I had was portion size. In a big guy with an even bigger appetite and when i left there i could've eaten my whole meal over again lol. But that's also because it was delicious. I got the mac n cheese starter, the Beast Burger, tater tots , and the biggest slice of chocolate cake I've ever had. Literally the biggest slice of cake ever- twice the size of my burger. Everything was delicious, from start to finish and if i were a person that had a normal appetite i would've left full like my friends did. Will definitely be back!
