    Great spot along the waterfront to dine, relax, and do some people watching. The area is easily accessible from the downtown hotel area and it seems to be safe to just hang out and watch what is going on. I saw a nice little water fountain area with little kids running though the water sports while their parents sat in lounge chairs watching them. There is a large grassy area for a Frisbee game and many places along the boardwalk to stop in and eat. There is a good view of the military ships docked on the bay and even an old time sailboat. There is also a charter tourist boat that is docked at the small marina. It was very enjoyable to take a stroll after dinner.

    Stopped inside after the outdoor flea market for some drinks before heading to get food. It was a Sunday around 1 pm and there was a decent sized busy crowd inside. We were able to get a couple of seats at the bar which was full all around. I asked the bartender for something fruity, whatever she wanted to do, and she gave me a peach schnapps drink (10/10) don't remember if there was a name for it but it was really good. We also had long islands (9/10) no real complaints. All of the drinks were strong and good, so I'll def come back here for drinks again. I also snapped a photo of the weekly specials menu, gonna try to check all of those out eventually! My overall rate of experience : 9/10

    Always a good time. No complaints here as long as the bar is open. Love the event schedule and the friendliness of the bar staff. This visit the bartender Michael totally made us a delicious drink off the cuff. It was so delicious. The Ambiance is always as it seems, very lowkey and casual. Can't wait to drop by again.

    Waterside is a whole vibe all by itself. The food options are amazing. I love the fudge kiosk, the samples always make me buy more! They are always some types of events going on so make sure you check out the events calendar online.

    Nice spot with great vibes! I stopped in on a Norfolk visit, and the DJ was top tier! I also enjoyed the drinks and nachos from the restaurant in the back right. This is the perfect spot to bring a group, watch the game, catch a vibe, and enjoy a fun Friday night out!

    Hysonia making our experience one of a kind!!!!

    Me and my family were in attendance for the "Norfolk Waterside Street Food Festival" We were blessed to have "Hysonia" as our outside bartender. Her charismatic personality and passion made our experience special!!! Thank you!!!!!

    We went to miracle at waterside and it was okay. It's very cute inside, but the service was bad and we never got our food. They have an interesting drink menu where all the drinks seem complicated and overly sweet. We ordered three appetizers and never got them after waiting 45 minutes after ordering. Our server did not know we never got them and we had to ask for them to be taken off. Between the time we ordered appetizers to the time the bill came our server did not come back. Part of the issue is that at 1:30 pm when they opened, they sat the entire bar at one time, so the bar and kitchen started off rushed instead of spacing everyone out. The atmosphere was cute, but wouldn't go back, especially since it's primarily reservation only and a 10$ cover per a person. You'd think under those circumstances they would have everything together. Our server was nice but I don't know if it was just they were overwhelmed or what.

    A beautiful bar with a wonderful vibe, however, they do scam you with some of these buy a drink and get a shot glass deal. It's very overpriced, to be expected. However, I ordered a naughty shot, on the menu it specified that a novelty shot was included in the price but they were out of the naughty novelty shot. I was still charged almost the full amount with just the shot. Just be careful when coming here, paid over $100 with just two people and a couple drinks. You also pay $10 per person without them notifying you, definitely not worth it. I've read several previous reviews that are similar to mine and the "owner" just responds to them in the same way without actual action. I'd say pass on this spot, plenty of christmas bars near the oceanfront who do more for less.

    Pretty good for most…read more.. We have dined here too many times to count and they're pretty decent I would say the food isn't top tier here but the Vibes are always chill. This night in particular, last night, we were there to watch the games playoff season is almost underway... We sat at the bar throughout the night don't recall the name of the bartender but super cool guy had locks and wore glasses he took care of us everything was cool. We ordered the catfish bites they were just okay I remember having them a time before and they were very good but last night not so much we used hot sauce to help them. We ordered the angry Asian wings they were very good so I do recommend you try those and get that flavor. The fries were just okay not my favorite but it is what it is. Parking was no issue we were able to find a parking right on the street so only a short walk to the restaurant and it was pretty packed last night but again the band was on point playing R&B, oldies and Christmas Classics so check them out if you're in the area always a good time. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    My first experience here at Roger Browns Restaurant. We were greeted within five mins, but the wait…read morewas about 20 minutes due to the kitchen was backed up and larger parties were finishing up. We decided to wait at the bar for our table. Within 20 mins we were seated at a table and Jada our server came over and took our drink orders, apps, and entree. Now, I just assumed our food would take at least 30 mins. Less than 15 mins our appetizer was out and then our entrees followed. Jada was on point and we missed the live Music on last night but maybe next time.

    A couple months ago I went to the Stockpot location in VA Beach, so when in Norfolk and walking by…read morethis one I stopped in. I was taken care of by the chef and she was very helpful with the menu. They have so many appetizing options on their mostly healthy, all fresh menu. I love soup, so I love that they offer several each day, with some standards, plus a soup of the day, which on the day I visited was cream of potato. Where I sat at the counter, I could watch them making all the food and I was impressed to see that they don't just ladle soup into a bowl to serve it, they actually cook and prepare, then dress it to plate it perfectly. Their cream of potato was really good and not the traditionally made where the potato is pureed into the soup - rather they make a creamy soup base and then add potatoes to it. The combo of the soup, a small piece of potato, scallion, and a small piece of bacon really made for a great spoonful in each spoonful I enjoyed!! My coworker got their Asian Chicken Noodle and that looked amazing! He said it was incredible. Next up was the entrée and we both got their lamb gyro.... It's not the traditional gyro, it's an openfaced style, just like their chicken salad toast. It was really good! The tzatziki was great on it! And we also got a side of their cucumber feta salad... this tasted fresh and the feta was vibrant, with the combo of the cucumber and feta together being incredibly tasty. Overall, another very nice visit to a Stockpot restaurant... Looks like I need to try their Chesapeake location to get the trifecta of Stockpot! Highly recommend stopping in!

    Well....during our stay in VA...we stopped at Seldon Market and went to The Stockpot for breakfast…read more The look is diner and cafe as there is a large counter top and about 5 booths. There is also seating upstairs (I didn't go up there...bad back). We had to wait about 20 minutes before we were seated. And they only had seating at the counter available when our buzzer went off. The server at the counter was very friendly and did a good job. We were saddened to know that by 11:00 they had run out of their home fried potatoes and the next batch wouldn't be ready for another hour...of course we may have been able to get some as it took over 40 minutes for our food to arrive. The cooks and kitchen staff were hustling and working hard to get the food out so I couldn't understand why it took so long. I gave food allergies so I was really looking forward to the potatoes as I had limited options of what I could eat. So I had scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. I wasn't supposed to eat a biscuit but I did because I knew the eggs and sausage would leave me hungry. Hubby ordered the Piña Colada French Toast, Turkey Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. I must say that the food was tasty and cooked very well. Hubby never got his eggs, so we asked them to remove them from the bill. They offered us a free dessert from the selections but we passed on it. I would definitely give them another visit if I'm in the area as I think the home fried potatoes are going to haunt me until I taste them! I do t know if I would recommend this place for people with children just because it's kind of small. A great spot to take your S/O or meet up with a (small) group of friends. They may be able to accommodate larger groups upstairs
