Perfectly grilled bread, the Mac n cheese was creamy and absolutely covered in cheese - this is not a lightweight option but well worth sharing with a friend! My husband had the Mac n Cheese balls; crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the dipping sauce had a little kick to it. The service was quick and the food delicious, highly recommend them and can't wait to try one of their other sammies!

Finally got a chance to try out this food truck at Tradition Brewery, and on National Grilled…read moreCheese Day of all days! I was super excited about the menu, I had trouble deciding on what to get. When we got to the brewery, there was no line out front. My boyfriend and I ordered the Buffalo Wing grilled cheese, The Mac Daddy, and the fried mac and cheese balls. They didn't have the bacon mac and cheese balls, which was a bummer. I liked that they gave us a number stand to put on our tables and they brought the food to us. That's where the good stops. The fried mac and cheese balls were a HUGE let down. The breading had a weird texture to it, the mac and cheese inside was pretty dry, and definitely needed some more cheese. It didn't have much flavor to it at all. It was disappointing. The sandwiches were very average too. I ate the buffalo wing sandwich. The chicken wasn't bad, but it was just doused with some hot sauce. I love a grilled cheese with a massive amount of cheese, but with the hot sauce everything became a gloopy, greasy mess. It was hard to eat and everything kept sliding out. I never thought I would say this about a grilled cheese, but they probably could have done with not trying to stuff it with as much cheese and grease. I had to end up eating most of it with a fork. The loaded cheese fries with pulled pork did look really good! I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this place. If it was at another brewery the same time I was, I would definitely try the fries next time, but skip everything else. It's honestly not worth the calories.

If you love burritos, you need to track down The Coop food truck. Hands down my favorite food truck…read morein Virginia Beach! I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene. Can't wait to catch them at their next pop-up!

A friend recommended this place to us and he actually had them cater his wedding. After enjoying…read morethe wedding meal, we had to check out their brick and mortar restaurant. We've been here a couple of times, ordering new items, and loving everything. Things we would order again: spicy bloody mary, lemon ricotta pancake, chilaquiles, grilled chicken ciabatta. The owner is passionate and creates almost everything from scratch. They are mostly Mexican style dishes but add flares of different cultures in their weekly specials. Small restaurant but makes for an intimate feel. They are usually busy but we've always been able to get seat.

Stopped by for brunch. The menu is fun and creative with some unique twists on comfort food. The…read morecrispy smoked gouda empanadas had a gooey, cheesy center and were suited for a quick appetizer. The tacos were flavorful with fresh cilantro and onion, and the grilled cheese sandwiches came stacked with fun fillings like jam, grainy mustard, shrimp and multiple cheeses. They were a standout -- the ingredients blended nicely, full of flavor, and each bite had a good balance instead of feeling heavy. Portions were generous and presentation was appealing. That said, the meat and specifically the cheese grits leaned on the salty side, which took away from the overall taste. The ricotta pancakes were the highlight, absolutely delicious -- savory, light, fluffy, and adding blueberries gave them a pop of sweetness and flavor. We also grabbed desserts to go, and they were just as tempting as everything else on the menu. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Drinks stayed topped off and she was quick with recommendations. The atmosphere is casual and colorful with high-top tables, a lively bar area, and a bit of a hangout vibe. It feels like a good spot for a casual meal with friends or to grab drinks and tacos.

We pulled up during what felt like a historic flood but apparently might just be another day in Norfolk. We arrived a bit after lunch hour and were able to order right away. You make your choices at the counter and then take the food to a covered seating area. (Good thing it's covered since it was pouring) I'll start by mentioning that every staff member we encountered was awesome, they all seemed into what they were doing and delivered a great experience. I was also impressed by the operation. They had everything you would need displayed in the seating area. Sauces, utensils, napkins, to go containers, and bags. No need to awkwardly look for anything. Hard to get this far into a review without mentioning the outstanding food. It's some of the best BBQ I've had! We went with the professional platter and added burnt ends. I enjoyed each and every item but the standout to me was the brisket, I've never had a juicier more tender piece of brisket in my life! Ribs were done really well also, the burnt ends had tons of flavor, the sausage was delicious, and the pulled pork and chicken were winners as well. The fries were better than expected, the Mac and cheese was tasty, and the broccoli salad worked really well with all that meat! Truly a feast!

We had to put in the order at the counter first before grabbing a table in one of the shack style sitting areas. They had 7 different styles of meat and 9 different sides. They also sold snack, house made sauces and some merchandises of their brand. I ordered the 2 meat platter with beef brisket and chopped beef. Within few minutes of ordering, they brought the order out to the table. I liked the chopped beef but didn't like the brisket. Tried the burned end also that was good actually. The chicken nuggets I got for my daughter were the best. They were so tasty. The side of corn pudding was also excellent. The shack we sat in was really hot since there was no AC, just a normal fan was blowing air. It was self service so we got the utensils, soda and water. They had ketchup, vinegar, mustard, bbq and white sauces available in the condiment area. Overall it was a decent spot but bbq meat fell short in taste for me.

We stopped by La Isla Del Encanto after seeing it on TikTok and decided to give it a try -- and…read moreoverall, we're glad we did! We ordered a little bit of everything: the pinchos de cerdo, alcapurrias, pastelillos de carne y de pollo, and chicharrones de pollo. The pinchos were flavorful and cooked just right, and the alcapurrias had that crispy outside with a soft, seasoned filling that really hit the spot. The pastelillos were fresh and tasty too -- perfect if you're craving something savory and handheld. The chicharrones de pollo were good, but they came with arroz con bacon, which wasn't really our favorite. We probably would've preferred rice and beans or rice with gandules for more of that traditional flavor. It was still decent, just not our top choice. We also tried the fries with cheese and bacon -- they were okay, but again, not our favorite thing on the menu. What really stood out though was the service. The guy at the window was very polite, attentive, and super respectful. That kind of customer service makes a difference and definitely leaves a good impression. Overall, solid spot if you're craving Puerto Rican bites. We'd definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!

I said…read moreto myself, "Self, we need to try this place since Charmayne talked about how good the food is." And of course myself clicked to reserve 2 meals. Inside it's a comfortable and causal setting. The lady at the desk was friendly. Patiently waiting and hoping we get the really good stuff that is popular. I can smell the cooking happening. The food comes out, and we were pleasantly surprised it was shrimp! They gave us, shrimp, cooked cabbage, Mac n cheese, homemade mashed potatoes. Two meals with 2 sides each. Very well seasoned for everything. Savory! We recommend My Mama's kitchen for sure! Especially I watched their story on 13Newsnow, I said we definitely have a match for good food! We picked up our dinner and enjoying it at home. We will be back! A+
