    Proof that we ate here and that this review is legit.

    Horrible experience. No greeting, first words were "one check or seperate?". Our server rushed us to order and eat, she kept asking us to pass her our plates even though we were still eating. when we finished eating, she still asked us to pass her our plates when she could've just waited for us to leave or grab it from behind us. She was also on her phone as she was serving our table. She spilled margaritas on my sister-in-law. Food was decent but the server BRENDA was obviously being lazy and rushing us. Her favorite phrase was "can you pass me that plate?". I am not hiding her name because management needs to address Brenda with these issues. Very unprofessional, rude, and unacceptable server. The gentlemen at the front were polite at least. Thanks for reading!

    Nachos Supreme with beef
    Thiane G.

    I came in with a couple of friends after watching a movie at the AMC next door. We were immediately greeted and seated. It wasn't too busy even though it was a Saturday night. Our waiter was Hector and he was friendly and efficient. The food came out very quickly. I ordered the nachos and it was delicious! It came out hot and fresh and I really enjoyed it. It was a very affordable meal as well. It was the perfect place for a post-movie meal. I'm looking forward to returning.

    So wanted to give them a higher rating but I can't. The restaurant is adorable. Right now it's decorated for the day of the dead. It's very inviting and it's clean and comfortable. The bar stools are a work of art. The staff were all friendly. We were greeted and sat immediately. Now the reason for the two stars. The chips and salsa were great. The chips were warm and delicious. My husband usually eats the red sauce and I eat the white sauce. Both were good and the white one had a little kick. My husband ordered the lunch special number 12. The waitress didn't ask what type of enchiladas he wanted so we asked her what were our choices. She said they only came with ground beef and my husband said ok. I asked for the lunch special that comes with two hard tacos and rice. When our meals came out, my husband had chicken enchiladas which he didn't want. So we sent his back. I had asked for black beans and cheese tacos (vegetarian) with a side of rice. I got beef in my enchilada which I didn't even order and a side of black beans. I sent it back and reiterated that my order consisted of two hard black bean tacos and a side of rice. When it came back out, it was what is pictured. At that point I didn't want to send it back a second time so I kept it. Not sure if it was the experience but it's the first time that I don't enjoy my meal at a Mexican restaurant. The black beans had absolutely no taste whatsoever and I don't like enchiladas. I ate my open face black bean taco and left the rest. With so many great Mexican restaurants in Hampton Roads I doubt I will ever go back to this one.

    Food is very good, service is great too! Place is clean. Good place to eat. This isn't our first time here, and it won't be our last

    Margarita!
    Ashley H.

    By far-my favorite Las Palmas location! The food is my favorite Mexican available in the Hampton Roads area. The location can't be beat-it's right by the Movie Theater in Lynnhaven Mall-great for a date night meal before a movie!!! Service was INSANELY awesome-very attentive server and staff and the food was SUPER fast!!! My ONLY concern or recommendation is that the Margarita just isn't quite what you can get at Jose's or other places.

    Located across the AMC movie theater. Promising at first as we were seated right away, drinks and chips too. The menu was sticky and gross and the waiter was just rushing to take orders . The food was ok, but i am disappointed by the quality, it was salty and the tamales were soggy. We felt crammed and the walking space to move around is tight. You pretty much pay for location.

    Ixtapa fajitas: shrimp, scallops & chicken grilled with onions, tomatoes, pineapple & peppers
    Justin V.

    I've eaten here a few times over the past 3 years and I've enjoyed myself each time. I figured it's time for a review to I can extol its awesomeness. Las Palmas 2 used to be a Ruby Tuesday - I guess RT was downsizing because a few of their locations have closed up. Regardless, LP2 is there now and right across from the AMC Theater. So whenever I'm there to watch a movie I know I can grab a quick bite at LP2. That's what's great about LP2 - they are fast, convenient and their food is delicious. I usually stick with their specials, like the Brian Special, Chef's Ranchero Special, Sizzling Steak & Shrimp and the Ixtapa Fajitas. All of them are excellent and will fill you up. If you're in a hurry but still want some good food, then check out Las Palmas 2. They are fantastic from top to bottom. JV

    We actually visited their new location on First Colonial Road, it just opened. Their menu is different from any Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. The selections make it hard to decide what to get. I absolutely love that they have the option of a lettuce wrap for tacos!!! The service, our meal, everything was absolutely spot on! We cannot wait to go back to try something we've never had before. You will not be disappointed!

    Tried this place for the first time today was really good the serving size for lunch are impeccable There are quite a few things on the menu that you do not find at your average Mexican restaurant As well as a lot of low car options we tried the nonalcoholic smoothies in Mango and banana They were very good they do not seem cream-based they're more of like an ice slush smoothie very good in my opinion and I love that they gave you a little umbrella with the fresh fruit the staff are very welcoming a nice here a few came in nice and hot and very quick definitely recommend this location

    Decent food at this mallside restaurant. Stopped here after seeing a movie. Had your typical Mexican dishes but I ordered shrimp, scallops, chicken, mushroms, onions peppers in a pineapple. Fajitas dish but i skipped the fajita. Margaritas were strong. Service was lacking after we got our food. Chips were thick and salsa so so.

    Molcajete
    Robby S.

    Get the table side guacamole! And if you want to try a little bit of everything, and I am talking about protein get the Molcajete. It is sooooooo good! The service is AMAZING, and the staff is so attentive. I mean, even if they are not your waiter they will ask if you need anything. That goes A LONG WAY! If you go in the evening, you will have to wait for a table, but it is worth it. BEST Mexican food in Virginia Beach, and I am from So Cal, so I know what good Mexican is supposed to taste like. Plus, I am Mexican, so there's that too.

    Came in on a Saturday evening and was told the wait would be about 25-30 minutes, which was fine…read more What was confusing, though, was that there were plenty of empty tables while we waited. We were finally seated around 5:40, but then sat for another 10-15 minutes with no service at all. Eventually I had to get up and ask someone when our table would be helped. Our server finally came over and took our full order at once (drinks, appetizers, and meals). He was friendly, but honestly it felt like we were the forgotten table. The table seated directly behind us received service almost immediately . The restaurant itself was very cold and a little dark, but the music and overall vibe were nice. By 6:17, we had only received our drinks. To make things more confusing, our seafood boils came out before the appetizers we ordered; I told them to keep them! That said, the food was actually really good, hot, fresh, and well seasoned. That's honestly the only reason I'd consider giving this location another chance. Hopefully next time the service matches the quality of the food. Sorry I didn't snap any pics! Once our food arrived, we went in; pics were an afterthought.

I love that they play good music at this location, it definitely makes for a great vibe. My server quickly greeted me and gave me time to look over the menu. I knew I wanted a good variety of seafood and the Combo options didn't include everything I wanted so I opted to create my own. I decided on 1lb of crab legs, and a 1/2lb of shrimp, black and green mussels. It came with corn and potatoes but I also added sausage and an egg. I always choose the Twisted sauce with a "Hot" spice level. The food was served very quickly and I swear the bag was 5lbs, I was definitely being greedy lol! Everything was absolutely delicious though! The seafood was fresh, the potatoes were tender and the corn was sweet! It was exactly what I needed!!! The margarita was very good as well! My server provided wet wipes, which definitely came in handy! Overall, you can never go wrong at The Twisted Crab! I thoroughly enjoy their seafood and have always had a great experience! I will definitely be back.

I had high expectations, and somehow they still exceeded them. They're the highest rated seafood restaurant in the Virginia Beach area on Yelp, and for good reason. There was even a small wait on a Wednesday night, which honestly told me everything I needed to know before we even sat down. Our server, Jenny, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and always seemed to show up right when we needed something. The head chef also stopped by our table and was incredibly kind and genuinely invested in making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. That level of hospitality really made the experience feel special. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche of roasted golden beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic. It was a classy little bite that got the evening off to a great start. Then came the sweet potato biscuits with apricot jam...listen, I could've eaten an entire basket of those and been perfectly happy. For my entrée, I ordered the crab cakes with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. These are the kind of crab cakes people are looking for. They were packed with lump crab, full of flavor, and had virtually no filler. Every bite was delicious. From start to finish, everything was on point. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a team that clearly cares about what they're serving. It took me over a decade to make it back, but I can promise it won't be another ten years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

They've got both booths and regular tables, which is nice depending on what kind of seating you like. Nothing fancy about the ambiance a typical buffet restaurant decor. The cold seafood section looked really full and well stocked, even though I didn't personally try any of it. I ended up getting a hibachi plate with noodles, shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, and a mix of veggies. They actually had a pretty good selection for the hibachi grill, which I liked. As for the buffet overall, it honestly didn't quite live up to the social media hype for me. There were definitely tons of options and a lot of variety, but I'm more of a quality over quantity person. I also didn't try any of buffet items. Now my daughter had the complete opposite experience. She loved it! She was really into the sushi selection and tried several buffet items. She already said she'd definitely want to come back. A couple things to know before you go: they charge a surcharge if you pay with a card, and they also charge for food waste, so don't overload your plate as you may be charged for food waste. Overall, would I rush back? Probably not. But if I'm nearby and in the mood for a decent Chinese buffet with lots of choices, I'd come back again.

They had this little side table type of thing and that was where I had to put my purse and some of the extra dishes to have room. We had the Wyagu Ribeye and the Picahna steak. Both were very good and cooked to perfection. I had the risotto which I didn't feel was cooked right; it had a gummy texture. The Cesar salad was one of the best I've had. I am not sure if their dressing is house made but it was very good and the addition of prosciutto was a nice touch! I also had a Paloma that was very fresh! Now this is supposed to be a steak house and cantina. The decor did give traditional cantina vibes, but the menu did not offer many traditional cantina type foods. If you are looking for cantina style dishes, you may find yourself disappointed. We did do the guacamole though, and it was just OK I'd say. Would I come back? For the steak and salad yes. Otherwise it was a little underwhelming to the price!
