We dined recently on a Tuesday evening which happened to also be Burger Night. Although we didn't…read moreopt for a burger on this occasion, I have had one in the past here and they are great. I enjoyed the Fried Chicken sandwich which also comes with boardwalk fries which are sinfully good. The chicken sandwich is a favorite with just the right amount of pickles, Surry ham, and arugula. The aioli is a nice and tasty addition to the sandwich. The Lobster Roll was also ordered at our table. It was enjoyed by the guest although it seemed like quite a small meal presentation especially for the price of $28.50. It was served on a small plate and just didn't look like a $30 dinner. We also ordered the Halloumi Fries which were underwhelming in size and taste. We love Halloumi so this was a bit of a disappointment. Our server was fantastic. She knew the specials and the happy hour deals etc for the night which I believe for us was 20% off of our glass of wine. She was friendly and prompt with everything. The ambiance is always nice here with dim lighting and a relaxing atmosphere.

We also noticed they had a self-serve wine dispenser station, which was a cool touch and added to the overall experience. Everything was really good overall. The surf and turf was wonderful, and the bacon-wrapped shrimp absolutely stole the show for me. The crab dip was a little more creamy than I personally prefer, but it was still decent. Now the burnt ends... OMG, amazing. Easily one of the highlights of the night. Our lamb chops weren't originally cooked to the temperature we requested, but the flavor was good and they quickly re-prepared them with no issue, which we appreciated. For dessert, the chocolate layer cake was amazing, and the red velvet mini cake was just as good. Our server was also fantastic. She made sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions without hesitation. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the experience.

I was greeted upon entry by one of the friendly staff members. My server, Brenda was very efficient and friendly. The inside is quaint with a few booths, several tables, and a decent sized bar. Chips and salsa were provided. I like the cilantro in the salsa. I ordered a Texas margarita which had a nice lime flavor, however not much tequila. My food came out fast and hot! I ordered Texana fajitas with steak, chicken & shrimp accompanied with rice, salad. The food was seasoned very well. The rice could have been a meal by itself-- delicious. I ordered a side of guacamole which was perfect! The portions are generous and prices reasonable. I have leftovers! The restaurant was clean.

I had to bring half of it home because the portions are so large. My friend had the wings, which are on special every Thursday, and had the fully loaded nacho platter. She enjoyed hers so much she was pitching menu items to new customers. If you haven't given this place a shot, please do. You are missing out. Everyone there is very friendly, staff and customers alike. Great community vibe!

We started the night with drinks: I went for a cold Modelo, while my friends both ordered margaritas, and wouldn't stop raving about how good they were! For appetizers, we shared the Union Trio! Fire roasted tomato salsa, creamy guacamole, and queso served with crisp tortilla chips. All three were fresh and delicious, a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I mixed things up with a taco trio! Carne Asada (marinated steak, onion, queso fresco, avocado, cilantro), Chicken Tinga (marinated chicken, refried black beans, avocado, greens, queso fresco, cilantro) and Blackened Mahi (mezcal pickled onion, red cabbage, red pepper pico, chipotle sauce, cilantro). The blackened mahi was my hands down favorite. It was super flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My friends tried some awesome dishes too! One had the Coconut Curry Mahi (blackened mahi, jasmine rice, edamame succotash, with a rich coconut curry cream sauce) and the other had the Duck Confit Taco (with cherry salsa, pickled carrot salad, and cilantro-lime creme). Our waitress was phenomenal and definitely suggested great choices. If you're in the area and craving something a little more elevated than your average Mexican spot, Union is absolutely worth checking out. Great food, tasty drinks, and a stylish atmosphere!

We came here for our pre-Valentine's Day dinner. Our waiter was really nice. He was prompt and he paid attention and was an attentive listener, which was really nice as a server. I got an appetizer or a starter. That was the grilled rustic bread along with the seafood pasta, and my boyfriend got the Civil burger. I forgot the name of the drink, but it was an espresso martini. Everything was delicious and tasted really good and the meal was cooked perfectly! Wish their menu was a bit bigger with a lot more variety. Overall a 5 star place!

I would recommend sitting in a booth far away from the door during winter because the breeze can be quite cold. The booths are also super comfortable and very well padded. My husband ended up getting the chorizo scramble which he liked a lot. I ended up ordering the steak and eggs. The compound butter that comes with the steak and eggs is amazing on toast or steak. I got a blood orange drink that was OK, but I wouldn't get it again. The second drink I got was with Rose and lavender and I would definitely get that again. We love this place. This is our second time going and we will be back!

Simply George Burger Joint is located in the Kempsriver Crossing Shopping Center in Virginia Beach…read more Since they are in a shopping center, they were pretty easy to find. Although this shopping center tends to be on the busier side, there were no issues with parking for any of the visits I have made there. My most recent visit here was on March 23, 2026. From the outside, it can be hard to spot them at first with the sign colors similar to businesses around them. The full name is Simply George Burger Joint. The overall view outside lines up with how the rest of the shopping center looks like. I found out looking at the info on the windows outside the business that they are part of the La Oficina Steakhouse & Cantina and Maracaibo Bistro Venezuelan Kitchen & Cocktails. I'm always up for trying something new, and that's why I came in for my first visit on February 13, 2026. When I came inside, it gave me the feel of travel and such with Route 66, cars, etc.. It's a small place inside, but that can be a good thing too. The tables are set up with booth type seating on one side of the table and rolling chairs on the other side of the table. There is a story about this business on the wall to the right after entering. On this first visit, I saw that it was showing they opened at 4 pm, but they actually opened at 11 am. I let them know about that too so it can get updated. They do serve alcohol here, and they have beers, wine, cocktails, and a house liquor. My mom was with me on this visit, and we could choose any table we wanted. Menus were already available on the tables that weren't occupied, and as soon as we got seated and settled, our server came over asking what we wanted to drink. I went with my usual, which is water with lemon. They have Coca Cola products here, so my mom had a Coca Cola soda. It took us a bit of time to choose what we wanted. I ordered first, and then my mom ended up ordering the same thing I did. I decided to go with The Camaro Burger with pepper jack cheese, which is a double beef patty with bacon, F1 sauce, and cheese choice. We both ordered Fries from the Extras menu. I watched as they were getting the food together, as they have an open kitchen for viewing. It didn't take long for everything to be ready. Although everything basically just fit into their plates, the burger was full of flavor. I really liked that F1 sauce on it, so I added more as they are at the tables too with the other condiments. Overall, this was an excellent first visit. Fast forward a little more than a month later when we came back on March 23, 2026. We came in a little after 3:30 pm, so it wasn't too busy, but since things were so good the first time we had to come back. They have a pretty small staff, so we had the same server as we did on our first visit. We both got the same drinks we did the month before. When it came to food, I wanted to try something other than fries. This time I ordered the Impalaquenos (Venezuelan Cheese Sticks). The Impalaquenos were really good. The sauce that went with it complemented it well. That sauce was a Garlic and Cilantro Sauce. I changed up the burger I would get this time. I went with The Malibu Classic Burger, which includes double beef patty, lettuce, tomato, F1 sauce, and cheese of choice (pepper jack cheese for me). Although it was extra, I did add bacon and onion to it. My mom went with The Camaro Burger again, but she did add onion to it as well. It was nice to watch as they were getting the food together. Everything came out hot and they were just as good as the time before. Since it wasn't too busy at the time, I asked some questions about the business. The business came about after winning the 2025 COVA Battle of the Burgers. I also asked about the F1 Sauce that is so good. The F1 Sauce is made from pickles, onion, ketchup, mayo and garlic. Overall, these have both been excellent visits here. The food and service were on point both times. If you pay by a credit or debit card, there is a 3.5% admin fee to cover their cost for using such card. Although the menu is small, there's still a good amount of flavors to choose from. I know some will say costs are high, but everything is these days. These burgers were worth it for us. If you're in this area of VIrginia Beach and looking for a burger place to check out, this place is definitely worth it.

Entering the place, I am welcomed with a diner bar and grill and hints of a mechanic shop theme. It really gives the restuarant a down to earth Americana vibe. I felt very comfortable here. The hotdog came to me in a nice slightly toasted bun and it was quite big. It makes me wonder if I'm eating a sausage or a regular weiner. Regardless, it had that nice slightly smokey taste and you definitely taste that it's 100 percent beef. The fries were pre-cut, but were fried well and came out crispy. There were almost perfect and tasted great with ketchup. Not too salty, it had the right amount of seasoning. The Caramelized burger was very impressive. The bun was served soft, meat well done, and the onions add a certain crispiness to the gooey melted cheese in a good way. It was delicious with each bite, especially with their customized F1 sauce. The Mustang Burger had the american cheese perfectly melted on the patty with shredded lettuce, tomato, and onion. Quite sincerely cooked with a well done patty. I recommend the Mustang Burger with the F1 sauce and a dash a ketchup. If I had to choose between the two, I like The Caramelized the most. It definitely won this race. So, if you want to find a laid back joint to try some American food. Check Simply George out!
