    Butternut chicken gnocchi in the foreground, pork belly bowl in the background. Both were excellent!
    Jill F.

    What went well, yelp?? EVERYTHING!! I never would have guessed this unassuming, small neighborhood bar would have such amazing food!! We started off with the appetizer special which was Caprese Crostinis (sorry, we were so hungry, we dug right in, totally forgetting to get a picture). It was really good! For entrees, my hubby had the Pork Belly bowl, which he said was really good with just the right amount of spice. I opted for the butternut chicken gnocchi, and oh, my word! It is so very good!! We are here on a Monday, so we're planning to stay for the Music Bingo. Everything was an absolute 10 stars!

    Bar area Wednesday, April 1 2026 5:30 tablespoons of 7 got right in. Good vibe. By 6:30 it was packed.

    Wednesday night 4/1/26 from the reviews we arrived at 5:00 when they opened. Table for 7, we were seated right away. Food was good. Drinks were a little weak. Overall, music was Jack Johnson vibe. The she crab soup was very good. Thank you to our server, I didn't get his name. They were supposed to email my receipt albeit didn't receive it. Enjoy!

    Okay okay, HK has been a favorite of mine for YEARS. Located in the heart of chicks beach, they are a neighborhood favorite. Whether you're going post-beach on the weekend for a wrap, or heading there for a date night, their menu never and service never disappoints. They have a great happy hour from 3-6 PM, and weekly specials like wine night, tostada night, steak night, oh and can't forget about music bingo! We came on a Tuesday for Tostada night, which I've never tried before. But first, we ordered a bottle of cab and the seafood nachos to start. Do not get me started on these nachos! I crave them. The tortilla chips are piled on top of crab soup, topped with shrimp, crab, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato and their hell sauce. Hands down the best thing on their menu. For tostadas, we had some fun. We tried 4 different ones and you get to build them yourself! We did two steak, one with pineapple salsa, lettuce and spicy ranch, and one with black bean and corn salsa, steak sauce and lettuce. The other two we did had shrimp, lettuce, pineapple salsa and one had spicy ranch, one had red pepper aioli. For $6 a tostada, it was a steal. We cut them into fours and had about two pieces of each with plenty leftovers. Shoutout to their staff for always giving great service, and the chef, Forrest, for always making his rounds to make sure everyone is happy, full bellies and enjoyed their meal!

    nachos

    for appetizers we got wings and split the sauce into 2; old bay and hot. we really enjoyed the old bay and how crispy the wings were. we also shared the nachos and they were pretty decent. for my main, i got the burger with gouda cheese. it came with a pickle and was yummy. for my side i got the caesar salad. for my drink i got their spicy marg and really enjoyed the spiciness that was infused. the service was great and what led us to eat here was they offer beach parking if you buy a $40 gift card and that's a pretty sweet deal. we were all so hungry after a long day at the beach and we enjoyed the food and ambiance at the place. it was perfect alignment, 10/10 would recommend if in the area!

    Good ambiance with a local vibe nestled in the neighborhood. We ordered the 11 oz. Sirloin with Asparagus. I had mine prepared medium well and my friend ordered his medium rare. The cook did a great job preparing our sirloin steaks! However, they were stingy with the asparagus ($4 for 4 stalks). The sirloin steak was definitely worth the $19,but the price for the sides is too high for such paltry servings. Otherwise, great choice for dinner!

    Crab Cake entree
    Sally C.

    This was my 1st time here as HK. I am sorry it took me so long. The food was throw your fork down delicious!!! We started with tuna bites, She Crab Soup and Crab Dip. And then someone ordered the Crab Cake entree. The tuna bites had a good flavor but they were overcooked. She Crab Soup was delicious and the Crab Dip was freaking amazing. It came with so much bread and the dip was full of Crab and so creamy. Perfection! The Crab Cakes had no filler. Some of the best I have tried. The mashed potatoes were delicious and so were the asparagus. Everything was perfectly cooked! They have a great HH from 4 to 5. Its a bit small inside but it was full of families and groups of friends. There is also an outdoor patio. Patrick took such wonderful care of us. Knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back, especially for HH and I recommend.

    Fish and chips
    Lea Z.

    This was the best food we had in the Va Beach area. It was not the most expensive or the classiest but it was delicious. Our service was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the poke appetizer and it was by far the largest I've ever had. A bit strange presentation but it was fresh and yummy. The Korean pork belly Bowl was very good. Hubs loved the fish and chips and my granddaughter inhaled her steak. I found it very reasonable and would definitely go back.

    Toasted bread and crab dip
    Sabrina C.

    After going around looking for seafood (4 restaurants to be exact), we stumbled upon this little hole in the wall tucked away near a residential area by the beach. I must've gotten there around 9pm because there was a band starting to set up for their performance. Once we sat, it did take a while for the waiter to come to us and take our order. The menu has a limited selection and is to the point, which I liked. For starters, we asked for crab dip, which came with toasted bread. Now you see... I'm not a fan of crab, but babyyyyyyyyy, I became a fan today. it was so rich in flavor and consistency. The bread was warm and soft in the inside and toasted on the outside. I ordered the Coconut Shrimp Scampi with linguini and added broccoli, while a friend of mine ordered Flounder with fries. I was a bit hesitant of what I ordered because of the coconut and scampi combo with linguini, but once my food arrived, my mouth started to water. I took one bite, and let me tellllllll youuuuuuu, I immediately started digging in for more. The coconut in the lime sauce wasn't overpowering. It was the perfect amount of coconut flakes on the meal. The jumbo shrimp were definitely tasty and juicy and the broccoli had the perfect bite to it- not too crunchy or soggy. I had a forkful of the flounder, the batter was seasoned lightly, but the fish was def tender and somewhat flavorful. I didn't bother tasting the fries. As the band played, the tiny place became crowded. Patrons are early 30s and up. Bathroom had a little sewage smell, which was understandable because if location, and if you want a booth/table near the stage floor, get there by 830. Parking available, but park away from the door, as patrons lean on your car I'll be back just for that meal

    Went for Father's Day-great food even with the limited brunch menu. Choice of buffet or menu and we were all happy!

    Tuna Bites
    Stephanie T.

    Visiting Norfolk and got invited to try this local hideaway. It was music bingo night, and the place was definitely packed and a bit noisy so probably not the best choice for a quiet date night. But the food was surprisingly tasty! The tuna bites were probably some of the best seared tuna I've had in a while, and the crabcake, which is known to be one of their specialties, was equally good. Servers were attentive, drinks stayed full, but don't be surprised to pay a few extra dollars to eat here. Menu prices were a little steep, but the food quality was excellent.

    First time at Virginia Beach, first time at a restaurant. The best part, there's an area where dining with your pup is allowed. Food was great, big portioned, delicious. Staff was really nice as well. Credit card was accepted

    Steak Night: ribeye with risotto
    Nancy H.

    Steak night is incredible. Thursday evenings, great deal, with great drinks and a good atmosphere. We came in around 5:30pm and were seated quickly. They have great outdoor seating, but it was super hot and muggy so we chose to sit inside. Our server was wonderful, but I forget her name. She did however tell us that she had been there for about 20 years and was a previous teacher. If management can gather who this wonderful server is, please give her kudos for being welcoming and giving great recommendations and service. Drinks; I got their cucumber cooler cocktail which was very refreshing.. perfect for a hot day. We started with their Brussels which were also good. For my steak; I got the ribeye with two sauces on the side. The blue cheese sauce and the HK steak sauce. They were both delicious, but I surprisingly preferred the steak sauce. My steak was cooked to perfection and the risotto was some of the best I've ever had. If you can't tell, I highly recommend HK. I look forward to trying their regular menu on a day other than Thursday.

We had a family with two toddlers in a stroller placed right beside my family. They were never taken out of the stroller, just coughing and touching our table the entire time. And saying Hi the entire time. I was not there to entertain these two children. I was surprised the host/hostess didn't notice or ask the family to put the children at the table. The server had to maneuver to get around them. As far as our meal, the rib eye was great! Beautiful cut of beef, yet the butter was way too much and over powered the taste. Way too greasy. This does have the potential to be an amazing restaurant but the other factors really do come in to play when dining. And adding 20% tip to a 4 top was a bit much. The server would have received a larger tip if it wasn't added. Without telling me. I would like to try it again and hopefully not have the negative factors ruin the experience.

This was our first visit, but it certainly won't be our last. We were fortunate to grab two seats at the bar--our favorite place to dine--and from the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, which arrived piping hot. The oysters were large, flavorful, and perfectly prepared--a wonderful way to begin the evening. Our Caesar salads followed shortly thereafter. Crisp romaine, fresh ingredients, and a well-balanced dressing made for another excellent course. For our entrées, we both chose the steak and lobster tail. My wife paired hers with the grilled asparagus, while I opted for the loaded mashed potatoes. Every component of the meal was cooked exactly as ordered, seasoned beautifully, and absolutely delicious. To top off the evening, the staff surprised my wife with a complimentary slice of cake garnished with fresh strawberries and mixed berries to help celebrate her birthday. It was a thoughtful gesture that made an already memorable evening feel even more special. Prime 757 delivered exceptional food, outstanding service, and a warm atmosphere that made my wife's birthday celebration one we'll remember for a long time. We left impressed and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended.

The food truck has been operating a few months and I've seen business. The restaurant will be reopening next month after a fire closed them down more than a year ago. It's taken them much longer than necessary in my opinion to come back after hiring gypsy labor. They have had reported issues for months with city permits. On a side note a gypsy workers truck caught fire in the parking lot yesterday. Hopefully I can update after the reopening, but I'm not rushing.

My girlfriend and her mom picked bubba's out of our list of about 20. We got there alittle early for dinner. That was a blessing because it got really busy right as we were finishing up.

We started with the she crab soup and the half-pound of steamed shrimp, and both were outstanding. The she crab soup was rich and flavorful, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked and absolutely drool-worthy. My boyfriend ordered the grilled salmon, and after trying a bite, I have to admit I was a little jealous--it was phenomenal! I ordered the scallops with peppers, onions, and cucumbers. The scallops themselves were cooked perfectly, but the cucumber flavor just wasn't for me. That's purely a personal preference, not a reflection of the quality. My biggest disappointment was the coleslaw, which seemed more like lightly shredded lettuce with a drizzle of Marzetti's dressing than traditional coleslaw. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the food or the view. We waited quite a while before anyone acknowledged our table, and after our order was taken, we never saw our server again until the check arrived. There were no drink refills, no check-in to see how our meals were, and no thank you at the end. Overall, Bubba's has some incredible food and an unbeatable waterfront atmosphere, but the inconsistent service and a couple of underwhelming menu items kept it from being a great experience. It wasn't the best meal I've had, but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I'd definitely come back--for the appetizers, the salmon, and that beautiful view.
