Loved it. Are there twice on vacation. Had amazing breakfast burrito . Great lunch after fishing trip. Serves early and kitchen open late late. Real local color not just another beach place.
Seafood is immaculately fresh. I'd recommend the buffalo shrimp as an appetizer . The jumbo lump crab cakes are also amazing. It's fresh and full of crab meat . All sauces are homemade as well .
I had the fish lunch special and my friend ordered the wings . Both were fantastic. I was starving so we sat at the counter to avoid a wait. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic!
Amazing freshness. Try the buffalo shrimp . Try to get there early because they're simply always busy. Oh, and those that fancy a bit of liquor will not be disappointed. Friendly atmosphere .
The best tuna tataki I have eaton, the executive chief Clit Compton was outstanding, the seared Sesame Tuna was Perfect! Service was great ***** You must eat hear.
Happy hour is a must! Crab cake salad is da bomb as is the peel-n-eat shrimp . Get here early always a wait.
This place is so solid. Wings were hot and meaty (add Tabasco for heat). The bleu cheese burger was COVERED in bleu cheese - but not overpowering. The fries were hot and tasty.
My husband ate dinner here so many times when he was teaching at the naval base, they thought he was a local. Great oysters and yummy wings
Burgers and fish tacos are great. Chalkboard specials are always fresh and gourmet. Sams has the best rockfish dishes in the winter.
Fantastic service and good prices. Nice view of the bay . Would go again in a heartbeat!
Crab cakes are expensive , but totally worth it...SOOO much meat! Everything else is priced well , especially beer . Service can be hit or miss, but food is worth it!
Great happy hours specials . The she crab soup is really good with huge chunks of crab meat .
Best pancakes in town , but they stop serving food at 11:00 so don’t be late for breakfast .
Everything we tried here was AMAZING!
The best Country Fried Steak in Virginia Beach. The Biscuits & Gravy are a must too.
Tiki Time (not happy hour ) best at the beach !! Wings , oysters and shrimp !! Off the chains!! Big Wave Dave is the man!!
Great place for breakfast . Even a breakfast happy hour !
Great place! Big Sam's Limeade rocks! The food is awesome! Atmosphere is perfect for a beach town .
Great place - try the painkiller ...

Great service great people locally owned and operated great seafood .
shrimp and grits on breakfast menu are dank.... I think im going to ask chef to kick up the heat on the dish next time, i like it spicy !!
Make sure to get the wings double grilled!
Eat breakfast there almost every weekend!! Love the place!
GREAT food but soooo many flies INSIDE the restaurant we will never go back
Excellent Crab cake sandwich !!
Go during Tiki Time ! 3-7 PM every day - the 49 cent wings are the best I've ever had.
????had Willey and she was not the best waitress - def could use some table presence as she passed us 4 diff times and checked on is only once.
Happy hour food and drink!!!!! $0.79 oysters
California Fish Tacos were GREAT!
Last meal with our North Dakota family. ???? ???? ???? ???? ????
Crab soup was perfection.
Look for 1/2 price deals from Kelly's on <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vbhotdeals.com"target="_blank" data-sig="TNn84tMiFSXc9bVQ+Yvl6P/gH9o=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">www.vbhotdeals.com</a>
59 cent oyster special until 7pm -- oysters are a bit on the small side tho.
Every Wednesday is Tapas night.... You have to do this every week trust me!
Best crab cake in town !
Excellent Sunday afternoon happy hour for the NFL games
Best blackened fish tacos !!!!
Always a wait but so worth it
2nd time and was not impressed. Mahi Mahi is small, and if you sit by the kitchen, beware bc you will see how dirty it is. Flies all over. And the view is obstructed by thick window panes.
$12 for a dozen oysters !
Breakfast with my little girl. ???? ???? ???? ????
At $.49, you cannot beat the wings here. Big and juicy!
Try the Oysters Rockefeller !
Key lime pie
Get Grandma's Pancakes
Wings . Enough said!
Finally had the wings last night! Yummy!
Service is slow. Let's see how long will we wait till we get a server :)
Best Happy Hour on the VAB!
Love their crush drink and their seafood omelet!! - Samantha Stark
Three house hot sauces to choose from. All three are a great addition to the fish tacos and pico. - Brad Lackey
Had the restaurant week special. Oysters on the half shell FRESH, rockfish delicious, coconut cake is one of a kind and you have to get the Lobstertini just to say you did! - Jaleh
Great for a toddlers as the exhibits are low enough for them to get a good view - Chris Cegielski
There appears to be a beach here but it seems to be private. ???? - Maggie MacG
I haven’t been back since the pandemic, great place to have a drink or two. They have a great tasting Chicken sandwich that I might order. - Angelo Di Natale
