Always the BEST, whether it's the rare roast beef, ribs or chicken, EXCELLENT. Rustic type eating area but it always seems like you're having a great time with friends! Employees are very cool! read more

I recently started ordering here when a friend told me it was really good food. I've never eaten in the restaurant but I've done delivery quite a few times now. This is the first place I've ordered from that ALWAYS gets the order right! That's so refreshing! The Carolina bbq sandwich is really good and it's huge! I love their sauces, the spicy vinegar one being my favorite. The fried chicken sandwich is amazing! Onion rings are huge, batter fried and wonderful! The cheeseburger rivals any burger I've ever had! It's a half pound of fresh, juicy beef cooked to perfection! It's enormous! I'm not a huge fan of the coleslaw but I'm very picky when it comes to coleslaw, the potato salad however is amazing! The collard greens are vinegar based but I still liked them. Both beans I thought were good, they just needed salt. With that said I'd rather be able to add salt to my taste rather than have something be overly salty. I'm excited to try everything on their menu. To me this tastes like great food that you'd make at home and I love that! It's not fancy but it's hearty and delicious. Great comfort food at a great price! read more

I would do one star but the price and amount, plus the dry rub is what saved it from a horrible rating. I was very disappointed in their view of smoked brisket. It ended up being thin sliced beef. Stuff you'd get from Walmart for a deli sandwich. It wasn't smoked and no sauce or rub was applied. Just sliced meat and blood juice. I don't plan on going back, nor do I recommend it if you are looking for actual bbq read more

I ordered the 1 pound of Brisket and the half BBQ chicken. The brisket had zero bark or fat in it so I'm thinking they gave me the sliced beef. The chicken was just OK. Both meets taste like they were leftover from yesterday. I heard a lot of good things about this place but it disappointing on my first try.... read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here at all and I was not impressed. I will not be coming back. First, it was really crowded with a line to order food. Not a problem - it moved fairly quickly so that wasn't a huge deal. I ordered the carolina BBQ sandwich platter with two sides and also ordered a side of hush puppies and sweet tea. We were told our order number and that when it was ready they would bring it to us so we could go ahead and find a table. Although it was somewhat crowded (where there was only one parking spot left outside and we were lucky enough to get it) we easily found a table in a quiet-er corner near the front. We sat for around 10-15 minutes while they brought all the orders of those in front of us - 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. I saw my dermatologist come in and order some food and then the orders stopped coming out of the kitchen. By this point it was pushing 25-30 minutes and I was getting mad because things had been going fairly smoothly up until then. Finally, when I was seriously about to hulk out from starvation and start breaking tables we went up and asked where the hell our food was and saw this HUGE to go order my dermatologist had clearly placed to probably take back to his office for a late night or something which was holding up EVERYONE else's food from going out. Also - our order was sitting up there getting cold and they said, "Oh it'll be right out, we're waiting for hush puppies." It was brought out about one minute after that and everything except the hush puppies was lukewarm. The cole slaw was good but I'm not entirely sure it was homemade... maybe but it was iffy. The pulled pork BBQ sandwich was OK but was not nearly anything I would rate in the top 10 I've ever had and their BBQ sauces, they only have two, weren't that great honestly. I prefer to have a selection and I like to have a spicy BBQ while they only offer Texas Pete on the table. I was irritated that someone who came in about 20 minutes after us and placed a large order took precedence over all the other people who had already ordered and were waiting. Apparently their kitchen can't handle that and then our food was left to sit and get cold while they prepped his, probably gave him my hush puppies, and brought out cold food to us. That's unacceptable especially when most of that stuff is already prepared in the back and is sitting and waiting to be put on plates and on buns. I don't think it was handled well and I didn't think the BBQ and sauces were that good anyway. I would not recommend it to anyone nor would I come back. read more

We are here on vacation and had a "hankering" for BBQ. I know the BBQ is not an attraction here but a drive to North Carolina was not in the cards. I got the Joker platter which had Brisket and Ribs with two sides, Mac and Cheese and "Beefy" beans. This was thinly sliced and not the brisket I had hoped for. There was no beef in the beans or beef flavor. The food was fine but nothing special. The ribs were the best part and my wife said the greens were particularly good. The fries my son got we're hand cut and tasty as was his fried chicken breast sandwich. The place was clean and fun and service very friendly. I am not slamming it at all but as a BBQ place I tasted nothing that would bring me back. Good location and great / friendly service. That said, Mission BBQ (A chain) is far better at BBQ. read more

Great place to eat, chicken strips were awesome, staff friendly. Nice outdoor seating area

I used to live in Virginia Beach and this was my favorite place to grab a bit to eat. The pit beef BBQ sandwich is delicious and I love the way they cook their fries. I usually get back to the area only once a year but I make sure I get down to the beach and enjoy a meal here. read more

This place has staying power to be off the strip and keeping a good customer count! I had the pulled pork Carolina sandwich - it was awesome - meaty, well seasoned, great cole slaw, 1/2 was enough for lunch. It is a walk up counter, take a number, somehow they find you at your table. The inside is not new but not dingy, and there is something for everyone. A refreshing break from seafood buffets! They do serve beer. read more

Had high hopes, but left disappointed. Nice decor inside and friendly staff, but my BBQ brisket sandwich was lacking flavor for me. The meat was also not as lean as I like. The sides we had (fries, coleslaw, beans) were all ok but nothing to rave about. I miss the BBQ I was able to get living in Texas and I was hoping being further south from where I live now would have resulted in some good BBQ compared to TX barbecue, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. We were here sort of late in the evening and they were easily able to accommodate our large group of 15+. I did really enjoy the sweet tea though! read more

Got tired of cooking during quarantine, so I was looking around for BBQ family meals to order pick-up. I had their food for the first time last summer which was catered to a party, and it was delicious... so I decided to search on their menu. I came across the Bully Bundles! I ordered NC pork BBQ meal, and I was able to substitute the sides from what is listed which is nice. I was honestly not expecting as much food as I got, and for the great price! It fed a family of four, and still had half of everything left for a meal the following day... so it definitely feeds up to 8 people like it says. Everything tasted SO good, and I'm not a cole slaw person but I really enjoyed this one. I asked for my order to be ready for 5 PM and it was all together at the front when I arrived a few minutes early. Great experience all around, and will be back to order another bundle if quarantine continues for as long as they're talking about. Thanks, Beach Bully! read more

Don't know where these other people get their bbq. Save your money and go to the store and buy a tub of bbq. It will taste the same. Brisket came soaked in a bbq sauce of some sort. Pulled pork was almost as inedible. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. read more

So fun, and so very YUM! I had the beef ribs, green beans, and baked beans. It was early on a sunday and people were still in church, so it was relatively quiet. I spied from across the room a saddle. Yes folks, a saddle. I sat in said saddle for the duration of my meal, and it made it that much more fun and yum! The ribs were ridiculously tender. So mouthwatering good that I didn't put any more sauce on them, they were PERFECT. So perfect I'm going to finish my leftovers off as soon I finish this review. Standard fare with the side dishes. Fun ambiance, and close to the beach. Friendly staff. I'll be back! After I run a couple miles... (oh i wasn't a fan of the pulled pork sandwich, I'd skip it and get the beef ribs if i were you) read more

The Beach Bully is the place to go for BBQ at the oceanfront. They have all sorts of options, from your typical pork and beef, but also tuna as well. Beach Bully offers great combos with a variety of sides, all very well-priced. Finally, they have various barbecue sauces to complete your meal. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for barbecue. read more

Great location in Vibe district, great menu and awesome outdoor patio. But the food is not real bbq. I don't think they have anything resembling a smoker. The food might as well be frozen microwave dinners. read more

I ordered meals to be delivered with Grub hub and when it was supposed to arrive, after waiting 30 minutes, I got a call to say sorry we can't make delivery due to a known event that was happening. This was the first and last time I order from Beach Bully. You don't have enough negative stars for me and my party to fill in. Oh but I'm forced to fill in one. Let's Go Brandon #FJB read more

Been here a few times since working down the street at the Doubletree Hotel. What I've had so far has been delicious! The prices are decent and the portions are generous. First thing I've tried was the pulled pork sandwich. Nice portion of pulled pork on a soft bun. Flavor is great, but wish it came with cole slaw on top of the pork. Also tried the sliced beef sandwich with onions and cheese. It was like having a cheeseburger but with better flavor. Had the fried chicken, nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Today, I decided to try the fried flounder filet sandwich. It was fried nice and flavorful. The only sides I've tried here have been the onions rings and Mac & cheese. Onions rings are good, but are frozen/store bought. The Mac and cheese is good, but nothing there that makes it stand out. They have a few sauces that you can try. The tiger sauce is like a horseradish type sauce that's great for the onion rings. The mahogany sauce is a sweet bbq sauce that's nice on the bbq sandwich. read more

The Beach Bully - Fried flounder filet sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

A super basic bbq place. All of the meat was cooked flawlessly. Everything was moist and warm. I had a few issues during my visit - my main one was with the options on a meal - I ordered the platter with a 1/2 chicken. Cashier asked if we wanted white or dark meat - I said both was fine. She said it had to be white or dark, and I said "can't we get 1 of each piece?" since 1/2 chicken is a wing, breast, thigh, and leg. She said no, we had to pick, so I picked dark.. and got upcharged $1 for it. There were only 4 sauces available, significantly less than advertised on their menu. There were 2 sweet sauces, both excellent, a honey mustard, and a white sauce (and ketchup). It was disappointing there were no vinegar sauces out. Maybe a table had taken the whole bottle? All the food was good, but EVERYTHING needed seasoning - from the fried chicken, to the Mac and cheese... none of it had any special seasonings or unique flavors and needed salt and pepper. The brisket came out very thinly sliced and already sauced, which was a surprising way to receive such an expensive meat item. The last thing i saw on the way out was what appeared to be the office. It looked AWFUL. Papers piled up and strewn EVERYWHERE. If they keep the office that way, i wonder how they keep the kitchen? Overall, it probably wouldn't be my first choice to return to. read more

It's 4th of July, so my girlfriend recommended this rib spot. We decided to check it out. The decor is country style ... and the servers and cashiers were super helpful. They took the time to go over the menu and make recommendations. We selected KING Meal (1/2 chicken; NC style pulled pork; queen rack of ribs and two sides). We requested everything without sauce. They did not disappoint. The ribs fell off the bone! The pulled pork was not wet and had superb flavor. The chicken was A+. (Actually, I would recommend no sauce--it was not needed). This is a hidden local gem in VA Beach. Highly recommend this spot for BBQ. Plus, A+ for the servers and cashiers. read more

Friendly service but not my style of BBQ. If you like sweet then this would be your style. I like Carolina/vinegar based BBQ or dry rubs but here the brisket and ribs were both covered in a sugary sauce. Their side BBQ sauces were also very sweet except for the horse radish sauce. read more

Pulled chicken sandwich was delicious. Next time I likely won't be ordering the mac and cheese as it was a little bland, however, I enjoyed the meal overall. My group all loved their sandwiches. read more

Food was so so--but I don't think I've ever seen poorer customer service in my life. First I called to place an order, but was told they were too busy and they asked if I could place the order online. No problem, I understand small, local restaurants can get busy. After placing the online order, they called me back, saying they were out of chicken. Annoying--but I also understand, small restaurants can run out of products on busy days. I tell them to just remove the chicken from my order. When I arrived for the pick up, I waited around for about 15 minutes, and not one employee inquired about about my pickup order. 5 minutes later I asked if mine was ready and was given a no. When they called my name, it was for a bag that had been sitting on the table since the time of my arrival 20 min ago. To top it all off, they gave me something in place of my fried chicken rather than giving a refund. The whole experience was super annoying. Just a tip for the business--it's wise to ask a customer what order they're picking up when they walk-in, rather than to leave them waiting for 20 min and the order is already ready! Food was about 6/10. Pork BBQ sandwich definitely had a strange taste, but I don't get all bent out of shape by an average meal. The customer service though--I give it a 2/10. That's because: (1)Didn't want to accept a phone order (2) Made me wait without asking who I was picking up for (3) Gave me what they want instead of giving a refund. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but if it's always like that--then there's considerable room for improvement. I do believe in second chances and given all of the positive reviews--maybe I will give them another shot I'm the future. read more

The best fried chicken sandwich I ever had. The staff is really friendly. All the food items look really good. Every time I go to an event at the convention center I always make sure I stop by and get something to eat. Don't listen to any Karen's that leave bad reviews. read more

We've only ordered takeout from here but it is consistently delicious and good food. I usually get the bbq platter and so does the fiancé. I get the fries and green beans or mac and cheese for the sides. They are always very generous with their portions, too. Very friendly staff members and quick on service. I would like to dine in sometime, however they are just a quick walk down the street for us so takeout is easiest. I highly recommend if you're looking for some good bbq. read more

I live around the corner and thought I was check this place out since I like BBQ. I was a little disappointed. First off for the price, you get a really small portion. Usually BBQ places pride themselves on how much you get for the price. I got the combo meal with two meats and two sides and was still hungry afterwards, which is rare. The price is a little high for their options. Also the meat I ordered was dry and did not have much flavor. The restaurant is cleanly though. You can tell they take the time to make sure it is clean and neat. The bathrooms are very well kept as well. I will most likely not come back to eat again. read more

The roast beef sandwich was insane. Rare, tender roast beef... on the softest roll I've ever had. We went twice in one week. Haha Only thing I missed was some au jus. I was told they have it earlier in the day. Can't wait to go again. Nice, helpful staff and very well maintained interior! Get the sandwich! read more

Amazing ribs. So soft you can cut them with a plastic knife. The brisket is moist and not fatty. It's cut super thin and is delicious. The fries are hand cut and perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Try the mahogany sauce with your food. I also liked the house sauce. Great barbeque! read more

As a local I feel bad for rating a beach icon with only 3 stars, but a few things seem to have slipped in quality over the years in my opinion. The people are still phenomenal as is the building itself and the beach/BBQ joint atmosphere the place has always had. The BBQ is still good and the chicken is great, so what could be wrong? The side items have become dreadful. I've never been a fan of the baked beans and I'm not sure what flavor combo they were going for, but they're just bad. The mac & cheese shouldn't even be called that. It's like eating leftover mac & cheese the following day after your refrigerator has destroyed the moisture of the macaroni and the microwave finishes it off. It appears to be mac & cheese, but it tastes like dry noodle with orange colored crap on it. The rest of the sides are just dull and unimaginative; nothing enticing to the palate which would say I gotta come back for this. Lastly, where the heck are the collard greens?!?! Any self respecting pit master has greens of some sort yet not at Beach Bully. It's sad to say, but it's as if the place has become just another summertime tourist trap using it's tenure in Virginia Beach as a way to line pockets between Memorial and Labor Day. I miss the Beach Bully I use to ride my skateboard to after I got out of school at the old VB Junior High; it was much better back then. read more

Outstanding BBQ. Best beef ribs I have ever had, so tender they fall off the bone and so juicy they melt in your mouth, with perfect flavor. Worth going back for again and again. Also delicious BBQ Mac, and outstanding onion rings and fries. My only tiny complaint is that the slaw is a bit bland, and also chopped up too fine. read more

SO GOOD. We had beach bully deliver for our small wedding reception and thought we would had leftovers...everything was gone by the end of the night! (good, but bad because we wanted more!). The brisket was a crowd fave along with the mahoganey sauce that it's served with, the beans, mac n cheese, chicken, and hush puppies were delicious as well. Definitely glad we went with beach bully, they were on time (early!) with delivery and provided all the extras that we needed. Well done! read more

Let me start by saying I appreciate the free delivery. However the king size (4) beef ribs were extremely fatty and of poor quality. The spice and sauce were bland The coleslaw was minced prepackaged tasteless mush. Extremely disappointed in the whole meal! read more

Can't recommend this place at all! The so-called "BBQ" had a sour taste and tasted nothing like BBQ, the brisket had a suspect smell. My wife had ribs and these were alright, but nothing amazing. Not worth the money spent. Next time I'll do more research when in VA Beach. The French fries were good though, but that's about it. read more

I went to the Beach Bully 2 nights ago and ordered a combination barbecue and brisket plate. The bbq was ok, but the brisket was the worse I've ever eaten. It very tough, very chewy and dry. It was $16.00. I don't think I'll be visiting there again. Tony Va Bch read more

I can honestly say this is one of the best BBQ joints I've ever been too. It's honestly the best thing I ate on this vacation. I would 10/10 recommend anyone looking for some to die for brisket and pulled pork or just home style BBQ. The restaurant was friendly and inviting and made you feel at home and welcomed. The brisket sandwich platter with mac & cheese with fries is to die for! read more
