When you enter you will need to seat yourself at any clean empty table. The waitress will see you and come by with menus. There's typically just 2 waitresses somehow holding down the whole place but we've always felt attended to. Menu is tapas style, small plates. I love their fresh bread! They have a variety of rotating creative cocktails and mocktails. Seasonal bread puddings for dessert are a must. I've turned multiple "I don't like bread pudding" people into believers here. Live music is typical at different points throughout the night. It can get loud depending on how close you sit to the performers but there's far seating that allows for a more conversational volume. The crowd is age diverse but lots of Gen X and millennials. Great place to meet up with friends, do a casual date night, or sit at the bar and meet new people.

I recently visited Redwood Smoke Shack located in a shopping center off Nimmo Pkwy near the…read moreVirginia Beach courthouse for the first time. I frequently go to their Norfolk location and this location seems a little smaller, or perhaps the layout just makes it appear that way. There wasn't a long line when I arrived and once I reached the counter I was greeted. I stopped in around 1pm on a Friday to try their smoked oxtails, which were one of their daily specials. I was glad I arrived when I did, because only a few portions remained. The oxtails were excellent, very tender and well-seasoned. I feel that $35/lb without a side or cornbread included was a little overpriced. In addition to the oxtails I also ordered their Mac and cheese, which was just ok. While the sauce's consistency has improved, I found it still lacked a bit of flavor. Overall I really enjoy Redwood Smoke shack, especially when I'm craving brisket. I'm also glad I had the opportunity to try their new menu item. If you are craving good BBQ I recommend stopping by one of their locations

I've been on a BBQ kick lately. So I decided to try Redwood Smoke Shack. When I walked in the…read morefriendly staff greeted me. There was only one person in line, so I put my order in right away. The restaurant was clean with plenty of tables to dine in. I ordered the Mac and cheese bowl with a jalapeno cheddar sausage, and BBQ sauce. I also got a bananamisu and corn pudding. The Mac bowl was tasty. I liked the macaroni, it was creamy and the sausage was juicy, spicy, and pretty good. I like the outer casing of the sausage. The BBQ sauce was a little sweet and tangy. The white sauce tasted ok, but was super watery. I wasn't a fan of the consistency of the sauce. The bananamisu is a dessert that's between a banana pudding and tiramisu. It was a good portion, but the flavor was a no for me. It should be one or the other, but not both. The corn pudding was good and went well with the bowl. They have a sauce station where you can fix your own sauces. I like that. I would like to go back to try some other things. But I'd get the bowl and corn pudding again. Check them out!!

They had to substitute burger buns instead of their standard bread. I wish I had looked at the reviews more closely before visiting, as this seems to be a trend: running out of key ingredients. Overall, the food quality just wasn't there, very low-quality ingredients for the price. The only reason for the two stars is the crew members; otherwise, it's a one out of five for us--no plans on returning.

She efficiently handled taking care of all 20 of us at 2 separate tables with a great attitude. One of our party members had an issue with her salad and Hannah was kind enough to get us a replacement to go. Our drinks were always filled, we got plenty of plates and boxes, and she was constantly checking in on us to see if we needed anything! One of the most attentive waitresses I've had. The food was great too, I had a gluten free All The Way pizza and it was LOADED, almost too many toppings! The crust was slightly softer than I prefer but that just comes with all the wet toppings. The rest of our party was also very pleased with their food & experience in general! Thank you Shorebreak for a spectacular dinner!

Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.
