So many quality ingredients for the price. I also got their sweet biscuit and you can taste that everything is homemade. We also got their biscuit smothered in gravy. The biscuit was also homemade. Everything was amazing here and I can't recommend this place enough. Also, the bar looks amazing with lots of drink specials. They do add an 18% gratuity in all checks. This would normally be a problem for me as service is hot and miss at some places. But, the device was amazing and every one of the servers help out and take care of the patrons.

You would never suspect the great atmosphere of this venue from the location. But the charm of the place really isn't the story.

Definitely coming back.

We came here for Valentine's Day with a reservation for three (2 adults and a child). We were…read moregreeted warmly and seated right away, which was impressive given how busy it was. Our first table ended up being under a spotlight that was directly in our line of sight (it looked like it was meant for the specials board), so we asked to move. Staff was accommodating and got us to a better table quickly. The space itself is really nice. It was clean, rustically decorated, and the live plants in liquor bottles on the tables are a nice touch. Our server was friendly from the start and took drink orders right away. My daughter and I had sodas, and my husband ordered the Southern Charm Old Fashioned off the specials menu, which he enjoyed. The menu is on the smaller side, which we actually like. One unique detail was the option to "buy a round for the kitchen," which we thought was a really nice touch and decided to add it when we ordered our appetizer. We started with the fried deviled eggs after a friend recommended them. They were creative with three styles (classic with pickle, togarashi ginger, and crispy prosciutto), but overall a bit on the dry side and not as flavorful as we expected. We asked for Dijon, but they don't have it. Our server suggested and brought out the Baja dipping sauce instead, which did pair well and kind of improved them. My husband had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. He said the fish was flaky and well cooked. I ordered the Union grilled cheese, which unfortunately seemed like it had been sitting a bit before being served, as the bottom was soggy. It was just okay overall and not particularly memorable for the price. The sweet potato fries on the side were the clear standout. They were crispy, the perfect balance of sweet and salty and honestly the best part of the dish. Our daughter had the kid's smashburger. It was exactly that. Service throughout the meal was good. She was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and there when needed. The main disappointment came at the end. When our meals were served, the server actually offered sauces at the table (ketchup, mayo, ranch, etc.), and specifically suggested items like the baja sauce for the eggs and ranch to us. Because of that, we were surprised to see several charges for the sauces on the bill, especially since they were offered and recommended at the table with no mention of any additional cost. We were also charged a credit card fee, with no signage anywhere (entrance, hostess stand, or menu) indicating that paying with a card would include an extra charge. It just left an unnecessary sour note on an otherwise solid, casual meal. Nothing was bad, and nothing really stood out as exceptional, but the lack of transparency around those final charges really impacted the overall experience for us.

We went at 10am so it was not crowded when we went on a Tuesday. Once a bunch of people were seated the it became extremely noisy. My 16 year old niece said the same thing. Food was great. I got Po' Boy wrap and fries. They make all their dipping sauces fresh. Very good. The other was a breakfast with 2 over easy eggs. Made perfectly. Biscuit and gravy with bacon on top and hashbrowns.. pretty good. Now this is just me BUT I personally will not go back because of the 18% tip they automatically add to your bill.

Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.

If you go in knowing that, then you'll be fine. We were actually hungry and expected at least mediocre food and didn't get it. I'll stay staff was great and friendly and even took one of our meals off the bill without us asking. That was appreciated. We ordered cocktails, appetizers of lollipop chicken and a crab cake and filets and fish and chips. The filets looked gray. I can't even describe it. They almost looked similar to a pork chop and completely turned my stomach. My daughter barely touched hers either. Fries and mashed potatoes were fine but my husband barely touched the fried fish. Carrots plain. Even cocktails were nothing to write home about. Their "famous" steak sauce? Again missed the mark. Tasted like a bad version of barbecue sauce that was far too sweet for a steak. We finished with the dessert of pineapple upside down cake which again tasted so odd. A random cake with pineapple thrown on top. Really? We ended up leaving wondering how it could be so bad when we had done our homework. We know restaurants that are just for aesthetics but certainly expected more from a place called The Hunt Room. If you decide to go, don't say you weren't warned!

Came here tonight for dinner. I had looked at the menu before I got there, and was unsure of what…read moresalad to order since most of them sounded great. I ended up on the combo of their soup and salad since their soup also sounded good. I was hesitant on the strawberries in the wine country salad since I know they're not in season really, but they were lovely. Everything in the salad worked well together and the dressing was nice and vinegary while still tasting of raspberries. It was very well balanced except for the ratio of toppings to greens. I feel as though there was just a little too much toppings. It could've used more leafs. As for the soup, it was a little bland, but after adding salt and pepper it tasted nice. It was mostly soup rather than crab or corn though. That was my only critique really, the temperature was good as well. It could've used some crackers on the side, but it wasn't necessary, just would've been a nice touch. Our waitress was quite nice, checked up on us and got us refills. All of our food came out together and hot. The sandwiches on other people's plates all looked wonderful, and after having a shoestring fry, I can definitely say next time I will be ordering some of those. As far as ambiance goes, it was nicely lit but still moody, which was appreciated. Very chill in there. Only reason I rate it 3 stars is because I feel as though there's room for improvement food wise, and price wise. $20+ for almost everything on the menu is pretty ridiculous. Even for some of the simple items. I don't think the food is that good, proportionately appropriate, or creative to be that much money. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel. I'll probably be back to try more items, I'd recommend coming here at least once to try if you haven't, during happy hour to get the best prices if you can.
