Loved the whole experience! Low wait time, good food, and fun music. Also MJ took great photos for us!

This place was recommended by a few people I know and the reviews looked good so we decided to try it out. This is a cool restaurant right on the pier. We went with no reservation and only had to wait 30 minutes and there is plenty to look at while you do. We choose to sit inside, but they had lots of outdoor seating with a fantastic view. Our server Taylor was super friendly and kind. My husband and I started out with a drink. He got the key lime pie crush and I got the lemon crush. We both enjoyed them and the key lime pie drink really did taste like the dessert. For food we started with the crab dip which was good. My husband got the Crabby Smash which is a smash burger with a crab cake and he said it had good flavor. I had the fried shrimp which was delicious and I got broccoli and mashed potatoes as the sides. The sides were ok but the shrimp were wonderful with a light breading and great cocktail sauce. read more

As someone that is from the west coast, I was looking forward to Virginia Beach. I only heard about Virginia Beach cause of the surfing and Pharrell Williams. Yesterday, My wife and I drove down Baltimore because we were in a wedding and decided to catch our flight back to Las Vegas from Norfolk. Made a stop at the Virginia Beach for some one on one time. The beach is so beautiful by the way! Clean beach for the win! Let me tell yall!! The food was absolutely amazing! I had the Fish of the Day, which was Blackened Salmon, Garlic Broccoli, and Fries. My wife had the Blackened Shrimp Tacos and Rum cake. Let me tell yall, that Rum Cake was absolutely delicious!! The service was phenomenal!! Huge huge huge shoutout and thank you to Mario for making my wife and I feel so welcomed and taken cared of!! The Food and Mario's kind service is literally the reason this establishment is getting a 5 out of 5. If you go here, make sure to ask for Mario, he's great! On a side note, if you're not from there, it will be obvious. Some of the customers kept staring at my wife and I. Mario made sure we were comfortable, thank you for that! read more

Ocean Eddie's Seafood Restaurant - Fresh crab legs! Happy customer - Seafood Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ocean Eddie's Seafood Restaurant is located at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront where the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier is located. There is parking available at the fishing pier for the restaurant. During certain times of the year (especially summer) where there will be a fee for parking. My visit here was on January 20, 2026. You can see the overall building from the parking lot there for the fishing pier. The fishing pier is closed this time of year, but this restaurant is just before the main fishing pier. You can tell this business and structure have been around for quite a while (in a good way). The first entrance from the structure is the gift shop, and the other one is the entrance to the restaurant. When you first come inside, you can see it looks like a fishing/seafood type of place, which is fitting for where it is. At the time my mom and I came in, it wasn't busy. This 3:30 pm, so it might have been early for others to come in. We were greeted at the host stand and we were immediately seated in the main dining area of the restaurant. A few moments later our server Kierston came to the table. She introduced herself and asked what we wanted to drink and if we had any questions about the menus. It would take us a little while to decide what we wanted to get. This was our first time here as we like to check out places that are new to us during the Restaurant Week. We did get to see the ocean where we were seated too. After some time, we were ready to order. I decided to go with the Hot Salmon Dip as the appetizer, Roasted Chicken as the entree, and Chocolate Ooey Gooey Butter Cake as the dessert. My mom got the same dessert too, but she got the Beer Battered Shrimp as the appetizer and the Lobster Mac & Cheese as the entree. About five to ten minutes after ordering, the appetizers came out to the table. The Hot Salmon Dip looked really good too. It came with tortilla chips and Ritz crackers. The dip was satisfying. The Beer Battered Shrimp looked good too. After about ten minutes, the entrees came to the table. The Chicken, Green Beans, and Mashed Potatoes looked good, as well as the Lobster Mac & Cheese my mom got. The chicken was good, but it was hard to get the skin off. It was fine once I was able to get it off. It was pretty stuck on there. The green beans and mashed potatoes were good complements though. My mom said the Lobster Mac & Cheese was good, but it was very salty. The last course of the visit was the Chocolate Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. That was quite an indulgence and that was very good and very rich in flavor. This was a good visit overall. There wasn't anything that gave me a wow factor to go above a 3-star rating at this time. The service was good and the food was good. Maybe it was just an off kind of day since we were the only ones there when we got there. I would likely come back another time to try the regular menu. They do a have a good drink list for those that drink alcohol. read more

10/10 for the ambiance and overall experience. We were seated right away on the outdoor patio with our dog and got to watch the sunset--it was absolutely beautiful. The food was decent overall. I ordered the blackened fish tacos--the fish was generous and tasted fresh, but I wish they had added more pico de gallo because it felt a bit dry. My husband ordered a burger topped with a slice of crab cake (I can't remember the exact name), and he said it was great. read more

I had one of the best burgers that I've ever had at Ocean Eddie's tonight for dinner! I got the Crabby Smash Burger which had a beef patty, smashed crab cake patty, Swiss cheese, lettuce, pickles, and tartar sauce on a potato roll bun. SUCH a great combo that was delicious down to the last bite. This restaurant is located on the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier and has inside and outside seating. We sat inside since we are here during some chilly weather, but we still had a nice view of the ocean. Don't miss this spot! read more

In need of some crab legs and it was about a 20 minute wait for three people. Our waiter Mario was extremely nice and took amazing care of us. For two clusters of crab legs it was 50 dollars so be aware of any market price menu items. Only reason for four stars is our food runner brought out one cluster and our sides but nothing else. Our waiter felt terrible and fixed that no problem. Would recommend the club sandwich it was huge. Overall a pretty good experience. read more

Most people would assume that a restaurant on a pier is a tourist trap. It's not. I've lived in VB for decades and go there year round. The views are incredible, food is good, staff is great and they have a full bar that includes local beers. When it's cold, sit at the bar. When warm, sit outside on the deck. This is definitely worth a visit. read more

Great food and ambiance. We ate outside on the balcony, the weather was perfect and the view was amazing!! We ordered the seafood platter along with some beer. Our Latino waiter was funny bringing our beer on his bald head, that was amazing and over the top making us feel welcomed! Our waiter was very attentive! We had a great time and we would come back again when we visit from California!! read more

Had the combo plate with crab cake, grilled salmon and hush puppies along with a side of Cole slaw. Tasty salmon but the crab cake had a little too much filler versus lump crab meat. Cole sale was nice and sweet and light on the sauce. Hush puppies were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great service by Emily for us. Loves the atmosphere of sitting on the beach and enjoying the outdoors. read more

Location. You literally cannot ask for a better location when you're at the beach. Attached to the dock, the restaurant juts out over the beach, offering an incomparable view of the beach and ocean. Service was friendly and prompt, with an attentive server who was able to answer questions and make recommendations. The menu had lots of options for my picky children, and it had enough variety that my wife and I both found things that looked great. Our drinks were very tasty and put us in the mood for being at the beach, and when the food arrived, it was all excellent. All in all, I have to say that ocean Eddie's is one of the rare restaurants where I really can't think of anything negative to say. The bathrooms could use a little updating. But if that's really my only gripe, that's not bad at all. read more

Talk about an amazing experience. Ocean Eddie's is by far one of the BEST Fish Sandwiches I have had in my entire Life. Arriving at Ocean Eddie's, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. As we checked in, we decided to sit outside. Though it was a cool day, we wanted the outdoor experience. Once seated, our waitress arrived and took our order. As the ocean view captured our attention we were still able to scroll the menu and put our orders in. As I'm not a heavy seafood eater I decided on a Sweet Tea and Fish Sandwich with Fries. After our order was placed, we went back to admiring the view and enjoying the brisk ocean breeze. Of course the sweet tea came out first and babeeeeeeeeeee... This tea was Freshly Brewed and had a true authentic tea leaf flavor which added to my appreciation for the glass. As I appreciated each sip, I accidentally drank the whole glass quickly. LoL! Not to fret, my waitress was spot on with her check-in intervals and was back at the table before I could miss my tea. When the sandwich came, the playing was gorgeous. The sandwich was thick and you could smell the seasoning from the food. Oh yeah, I knew I was in for an experience. Upon first bite, I closed my eyes and was lost in a food trance. Everything was well seasoned, fresh, perfectly fried, and mouth mesmerizing. It wasn't until I was full that I snapped back to reality. lol! Anddddd, I still had food left over. Yep. Not only is the food amazing but the portions are more than enough. Great service. Great food. And, a great view. If you're on the boardwalk and love fresh seafood, make sure to stop by Ocean Eddie's. read more

I'm not sure I would have stopped by here if it wasn't for being in the off season, but I'm sure glad that I did! I would imagine this place is popping in the summer months! I loved the low key dive-y feel! It had a pretty chill vibe with great ocean views! I was just looking for some sort of seafood option for lunch and decided on a big ol' bowl of seafood chowder! The bowl of soup is was hearty, they certainly didn't skimp on the seafood and it was served with some crackers as well. Quinton was my server and he was pleasant and attentive. read more

Not only was the food amazing but our server was beyond amazing! His name was Joey.

He was super friendly and personable the entire visit and even offered to give us a list of things to do as a family in the area! He wrote it down for us on an order slip. The thought was definitely heartwarming and we are beyond grateful to have had such an incredible experience with him and your restaurant. 100/10! read more

I went for drinks & apps with my girlfriend and her two buds visiting from out of town while we were at the oceanfront. I ended up just getting a sundae, but they didn't tell me they were out of a few things before bringing it out to me, which would've changed my mind on what I ordered, to be honest. But it was good nonetheless- I ate it! There's a picture guy that comes table to table, but he prints out pictures before showing you the proof, so watch him, although he wasn't pushy at all. I think the ambiance sitting outside is prime, so it's worth that if nothing else. A cool spot right on the boardwalk & right on the pier. read more

The restaurants location is amazing surrounded by the beach in the busy pier. The food selection is quite limited and a majority of it is fried if you're coming for a casual hang and sip a beer it's perfect. read more

Just okay..crab dip didn't really have crab flavor..too much other stuff added which killed the real crab flavor.

If you're looking for mediocre seafood that's close to the hotel, this is the place. I had driven all day, and wanted to go somewhere close, so had come here for dinner. I came during the off season so it was empty, which meant we got sat immediately. It's right on the beach, so the view is amazing! We ordered drinks and they only have Coke and Sprite as soda options, and as our entrees we ordered the crusted salmon (seared) and crab cakes. The total came up to be around $70. Food wasn't bad, but definitely could have been better, granted they have fried seafood and burgers here too. Service could have been better, like give us refills or know the menu more (my server asked me which crab cakes but I had only seen one option on the menu, and also was asked if I wanted my salmon stuffed or seared when the menu said crusted (?)). We also waited a while for the food to come out, but that also might be because of the lack of staff since it's the off season and they had a largeish party present. Overall, it's an ok restaurant if you want something close by the beach, but there are other options for better seafood. read more

The staff were very good and friendly (plus their uniforms were very sexy). We ate outside, very nice view of the beach and loved hearing the ocean as well. The table was clean, but sticky. But thinking about it the sea air probably makes that happen. My mother ordered a Chicken Sandwich with little mayo and cheese, what she got was a chicken and bacon sandwich with everything on it. I told the waitress what happened and they gave a discount and a free dessert pie. The pie was good just very very sweet. I ordered Streamed Peel and eat shrimp, they were ok. Not a home run, but not bad. Overall, an average seafood restaurant in a great location. But I would recommend other seafood restaurants in the area. read more

Great food and drinks! I came during the winter so seating and service was quick. I ordered the fried shrimp along with hush puppies and steamed broccoli. The breading on the shrimp was light and delicious. My steamed broccoli cooked in garlic was amazing that my kids started to pick off from plate. The hush puppies were also cook to perfection. I think this is a great place for casual seafood dinning. I would come again! read more

While the staff was great, the food fell far short of acceptable. Let me say again, the serving and host staff were great, the kitchen crew were way off mark. The hostess sat us and engaged a little quick conversation, the server was great and got us everything we needed while smiling. The food....blech. French toast was alright, eggs were cooked right, burger was undercooked, avocado slices were just a half spoonful of guacamole on the burger and the potatoes were cardboard with zero flavor. Extremely disappointed since the last time we came here it was great. Will not be back read more

The food was good! We got the fish tacos and I recommend them for whoever goes there!!! The place is small though. Very cramped, even the seating outside. It's not something they can change so I would get there a little early or you could be waiting. The hostess's could use some people skills/ customer service skills which is why I gave it a 4 star. We had 7 people in our party and they didn't even give us the option to wait for seating inside. The hostess said she can't do that right now so we ended up eating outside. Had she been on her customer service game and offered it to us I would have left a 5 star review. read more

We decided to eat here with family for dinner. There were 9 of us so we were added to the list and told it would be about an hour before we could be seated. After waiting an hour, we went to ask for an update on how much longer and were told we were not on the list. After getting the manager, we were told we cancelled. We let them know we did not cancel and did not get called or texted. Thankfully they found a spot for us overlooking the pier and ocean. The food and drinks were really good and we had a great server. What started off as a bad experience ended well. read more

I just ate there this evening. Good food and drinks closer to the ocean than any place else, should be the best. Once seated it's a very nice atmosphere. Servers are the best. BUT greeter-seaters consistently tell you it's a twenty minute + wait and ask for your number but don't leave. Twice I was removed from the wait list with no call or reason. ALSO 4 drinks and two entrees should not exceed $120.00...No matter how good the food is. IMO. read more

Wow. Impressed. My husband loves this place. He's been multiple times with friends and his parents but I've never joined them. Yesterday was my birthday and the weather was gorgeous so we decided lunch at the oceanfront and walking the boardwalk was the way to go. We were immediately sat on the balcony at a nice table with an ocean view and you could hear the waves. Our server, Nathan, was stellar. Attentive but not annoying, prompt, efficient and super polite. He was wonderful. He asked if we wanted drink refills to go, he came to tell us he'd checked on our food and our ticket was up next after we'd waited a while, he was just doing everything right. I had the grilled chicken club with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard on a potato bun. It was legit delish. Simple, but good and came with some delicious crispy fries. Hubs also got the steamed shrimp and cesear salad. Both very good. They have butter cake - I gotta know. And key lime pie. I'll be trying and reporting on those later on.... Noms. Looks like a dive tourist trap - but actually pretty good food and menu. I'm going locals gem. read more

Casual, efficient and so good! Blackened Tuna Tacos are amazing with the Lemon Crushes. Coming back for more!

No outside water bottle? We were walking for exercise along the boardwalk and decided to break for lunch. The hostess denied us (2 people) entry unless we got rid of the water bottles! I've never had this occur at any other restaurant. Ridiculous! We left and had a fabulous lunch at Chix on the beach. Had no issues with the water bottle at Chix ! read more
