Reviews of Chick's Oyster Bar
Calethia Christmas
EXCEPTIONAL! It has high reviews for a reason!!! I wanted food with a view and it did not disappoint! They have weekend specials in the bar area but only a couple of dollars off (2/3$). Staff is extremely friendly. Boats can just pull in which lets you know their clientele…. But the views and food are spectacular. PLEASE GET THE CALAMARI W/ BANANA PEPPERS. I ate the whole plate and the portions are huge. Prices are actually not that bad either for seafood in this particular area and that’s probably because you have to tip for the ‘’complementary” valet parking. 10/10 recommend and will be back again.
Karla Kelly
Great seafood! Great drinks! Great atmosphere! It's worth the visit. The fish is very fresh and prepared the way you like it. Love the Orange Crushes. Very popular spot at the beach. May take a little time to get parking, but all parking is valet. Nice service. Love the waterside seating.
Chris Hitch
Amber was a real pleasure and provided a great description of the oyster selection. Both oyster shooters were great. The 007 wasu preference. The raw oysters slaw and fries (staples in my mind) were perfectly seasoned. The she crab was hearty and well seasoned. A few splashes of hit sauce were more because of personal preference only. The view and vibe were equally fantastic. Sitting over the water never gets old.
RJ Reinert
Loved, loved, LOVED this place. Totally my vibe. Low key, and right on the water. LOTS of indoor and outdoor seating on the waterfront. Three different buildings connected together. Fun watching the boats dock, order, and be served right in their slip. My new fav in VA Beach!
Kaneka Nicki
Very lively place with a river view and tons of cool seating. Its on the water. Picnic tables, friendly service. But beware of the prices! Way too high for a fish sandwich. Valet parking is a plus
Bailey Perkins
Great place! Out door and indoor seating. Couple bar areas and the place gets packed on the weekends. The food was really good, had oysters as an app and the tuna tacos. Try the orange crush 21+ for a drink!
Lisa Santos
First time visiting the restaurant. The scenery was nice and friendly staff. The food was ok and could be better. I ordered half a pound of steamed shrimp and they were overcooked. Ordered half a dozen oysters and they were so small. Hardly anything in shells. For the price, should be more oysters on plate since they are so small. I was disappointed. But overall fun place to hang out with friends.
Eric Hawkins
Food was great. The burger 🍔 I had really tasted as if it was made at home. The sweet potato fries were great as well. The service was quick and very courteous. I was impressed by the variety of food that was offered on the menu. You will still enjoy yourself if you don't eat seafood. I would return to this establishment of I'm in the area again.
M J
Hubby and I had a date night. The starter appetizer of 6 jumbo shrimp with lava sauce was delicious. Hubby had a burger he was happy with. I had the mahi fish tacos it was delicious too. The dessert was huge a warm fudge brownie sundae in like a bug fish bowl margarita glass. I had no complaints with our dinner. I will be coming back again. Next, visit will be with our kids.
Jo H
Chicks is a beautiful sassy little Virginia Beach eatery. Location right on the water where you can watch people and boats coming in and out and even the fighters jets from overhead. Their menu is perfect and will not disappoint. Loved it!!!
Dwayne Blackwell
Chick's is a laid-back hangout with a rustic clam shack vibe & waterside deck serving good old seafood & drinks. I think since 1998, they have been serving up delicious seafood. So much bigger with all the varied seating options and decks! The shrimp are seasoned perfectly as are the crab legs. If you want a beach crush, Chick's has many flavor options. THANKS MADISON FOR YOUR AWESOME SERVICE!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Gerard Ward
Probably the most fun bar in Virginia Beach. Great service, amazing location with a beautiful view. The drinks are great but we were a little underwhelmed by the food. We would definitely come back, but probably just for drinks next time.
paul matticks
What a cool place to relax with an awesome vibe. Then you have amazing views and top it off with delicious food, fantastic service and wonderful adult beverages and you pretty much have the complete package. The raw oysters were delicious, the crab cake sandwich was practically all crab and the Bayview chicken sandwich was fresh and tasty. Loved it. No wait and valet parking.
Jackie Ellis
My two favorite things about this place is the complimentary valet parking and the scenery by the water.
The food was pretty good. I ordered steamed oysters and crabcakes. I guess the crabcakes were too fresh because they were crunchy with every bite. I had to keep spitting out shells. Aside from that the food was good.
Upon leaving the restaurant my friends and I received well wishes/goodbyes from multiple staff members which was nice!
Simon T Katan
A casual seafood restaurant on the border of the water. I like the oyster choice, they were tasty. Also, the Rockfish grilled was tasty. Service was quick and nice. Recommended.
Lincoln Ward
Fun fun fun. Great food and drinks! Servers and bartenders are excellent. Highly recommend. Great place for whatever you are looking for in the VA Beach/ Norfolk area.
Pamela Flynn
My first time here and our server Jordan took excellent care of our table. Tried a steamed oyster for the first time. Enjoyed the hush puppies, Costa Rican Fish tacos, the black beans 'n rice, and the Chocolate Chip Cookie & ice cream.
Blue Girl
Definitely happy with our dining experience here. We sat by the covered porch. Came here for oysters and it didn’t disappoint. Our fish entree was delicious, brocolli and sweet potato were perfect pairing. Drinks were on point and loved the waterfront view, enjoyed watching the boats. Friendly staff.
Sherry Thornton
I was visiting family over Thanksgiving and we had dinner here (11 of us). I thought the food, atmosphere, and service were great. I am from Atlantic Beach, NC and I did think the food was a bit pricey, which is why I gave it four stars.
Sultan Camp
Decided to try this local community favorite and we weren't disappointed! Great relaxed atmosphere and great views of the water.
We tried the Mahi Tacos and the fried oyster basket with sweet potato fries and both were fresh and had lots of flavor.
Will be back!
Jim Harrell (LarderRoom)
LarderRoom...Celebrating Wing Wednesday with a classic. Old Bay Wings from Chicks with a side of buffalo sauce! And don't forget the dozen Buffalo shrimp! Some of the best local seafood on Shore Drive.
Update: Can't visit the beach without a trip to Chicks! Orange Crushes, Buffalo Shrimp, Crab Cakes & Calamari! Just go!
Charles Zimmerman
We got some crab cakes and half shell right on the water with boats docking right next to us late in the evening. It was our 2nd night here. There was a massive school of small fish jumping wildly right next to us as we ate. The weather and atmosphere were perfect this restaurant is a gem. That was such a perfect evening. Despite it was kind of loud ( the bar) it easily is 5 star. I can't wait to go back and get that experience again. Priced great. Fast food everything super fresh. Great waitress
Nathan Jones
Great views that are tough to beat. You get to enjoy your meal right on the water if you choose, watching the boats go by. I've been here many times, this is my first time leaving a review.
I ordered the shrimp tacos and sweet potato fries. Instant impression is that these sweet potato fries are among the best I've had, really well done. The tacos had incredible flavor, and you definitely won't leave hungry. Two tacos, and I couldn't finish it. Expertly seasoned.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the shrimp itself. It was a choking hazard. Very large shrimp, way too large to have any business on tacos since tacos are meant to have the smaller shrimp. Also, they were very overcooked. It happens, nobody's perfect. I cook for a living, so I understand. But shrimp is delicate. When it's shaped like a C it's done, and it only takes a minute. Once it's shaped like an O it's overcooked and very tough to chew. If the shrimp was the right size and cooked properly, it would be 5 stars easy.
n ansel
Amazing spot! Weather your on a boat or just stopping in it's a great place. Steamed shrimp is seasoned to perfection, the tuna bites are so delicious and a staple for us at every visit. And if you're still hungry I highly recommend the flounder tacos! Oh and the crushes are a great refreshing treat. The staff is also great!
Adam D'Ambra (RAD-CON LLC)
It was a very pleasant experience, I sat out on the dock and had a beautiful sunset. This place could easily accommodate large groups. The food was your normal bar affair, nothing special but they did have freshly made orange crushes which were really good. Parking is by valet only which is surprisingly well orchestrated. Will probably not be back for a while but definitely will be on the list of places to check out when in Virginia Beach again.
Nikki P
One of my favorite places to eat. The food, the drinks, the view are all great. Complimentary valet as well.
Tom Yenk
Definitely one of my favorite seafood restaurants and bar. Food and drinks were on point as always. Service was fast, attentive, and friendly. There is plenty of seating however this place gets slammed for happy hour and weekends.
Greg Maschok
We sat outside on the deck for an awesome view of the Bay and the marina. I had the fried oyster platter which was delicious with fresh fried oysters. I started with the she crab soup which was awesome! My wife had the cheeseburger and fries. We took advantage of the valet parking which was complimentary. A new favorite spot which we will be visiting often!
Elizabeth Carlton
The wait was about an hour for a large table which was expected. The menu has gotten vary limited as compared to pre covid times. Service was excellent.
Tina Rice
Great spot. Tried the oyster shooters. They were SO huge it was an epic fail for me. My food was spot on.
Zara Taylor
Lovely place and good food. Had the shrimp tacos and they were delicious. Loved the closed in room by the water; felt like you were outside without actually being outside. Fair prices as well. Worth a try!
Matt Alt
Parked the boat at the dock, and had lunch. Food, service, and atmosphere was all fantastic.
Great place to watch football, and have an awesome specialty menu on Sundays.
Orange Crush, Steak Wrap, Fried Pickles, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Korean BBQ Brisket Tacos were all phenomenal.
Jeanne Hoffman
Super Service - Alex is amazing! She crab soup and crab dip delicious! Husband says oyster basket (appetizer) is the best he has eaten - large, fresh and plenty of them (about 15)
Des KF
I was told this spot had some good seafood so gave it a try. We waked in and they had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and it was right by the water with many boats and sand. I loved the ambience of the place. The waitress and the rest of the staff was so nice to us and accommodating. I ordered the shrimp tacos and told them no dairy and my friend ordered a cheese burger with fries and some drinks. When it arrived I bit into my food and realized there was cheese on it. I was turned off and sent it back and ended up not eating there. The drink was good and my friend liked his burger. The price wasn't too bad, a little over $30.
Ryan Bond
The wings were great! Nice spot on the water, can’t go wrong!
Chrissy C
Food came out cold and over cooked. Waitress wasn't attentive and barely checked on our table. I did have the shrimp tacos, they were ok, would have been better warm. I will not go back to eat here.
Jennifer Hart
Came here for lunch with my fiance and we sat out on the back patio overlooking the water. Great weather, great food and great service.
We both got the hawaiian crush with lunch and really liked it. We ordered the Mahi Tacos and their fried shrimp with cole slaw and fries.
Please see pics!
Brittany Holly
The food and drinks were good but the 3 stars is because of the service. I came here with my boyfriend and we were sat in a room with a table of several drunk college guys. Eventually they left, bragging about driving drunk and not getting caught and then another table of guys was seated there. We had the same waitress as the other table and she basically ignored us the entire time and was far more concerned with the table of guys. She checked on them fairly often and avoided eye contact with us whenever she walked by. It took forever to get her to come over to take our order.
Malcolm Lott
First time here in the boat, pulled up, dock attendants quickly helped us get tied up, gave us courtesy water and took our orders, we ate on real plates and enjoyed a great dining experience. I would definitely recommend this establishment. Food was hot, and you can taste the freshness in my fried oysters!
Cindy Manning
Pretty view of the inlet. Limited menu items. A bit pricey. $90 for 3 which included a margarita crush and 2 beers, calamari, a crab burger, a flounder blt, and tuna bites and we sat at the bar.
Niki Two
Can never get tired of eating here. Their food & service is grand. We always eat at the back on the water for the fantastic & beautiful view of boaters & wildlife.
Nicole DelGaudio
We had an amazing experience at Chicks yesterday! Even though they were very busy, we had great service from our waitress, Devin and the food was amazing! Special thanks to Clay, the manager, for accommodating our group!
Tracy Foreman
We arrived at 5pm on a Friday night and it was starting to get a little busy. This place was awesome! We started with a grapefruit crush! Yummy. Ordered the crab dip! They brought it out with these fresh baked toast/pitas. It was delicious.
Moved on to the blackberry crush. A little too sweet but it still went down easy. Ordered a dozen oysters. I’m not an oyster eater but I managed to slurp one down. Let’s just say I did it and move on!
Next up was the crab cakes. It comes with hush puppies and 2 sides so I got fries and sweet potato fries. The crab cakes were scrumptious! 2 big ones that we shared! Sweet potato fries were really yummy.
Last crush was an orange signature crush. It was good but grapefruit was my favorite for the night.
Last appetizers was friend shrimp. Can’t go wrong with this item!
Spectacular view, large private room for parties, outside dock seating. Great sunset photos and atmosphere!
David Fitch
Food was Fabulous! I had their grilled crab cakes. The others with had Mahi Mahi tacos and crab cake tacos. We had the raw oyster appetizer. They were very good! All the food was well received! Wait staff was attentive without being annoying. The reason for 4 instead of a 5 was the men's restroom's toilet stall. I have been in some really nasty ones over my 70 years and this one might take prize. Fortunately, I had already eaten! Food is worth going back for, just try to not use their men's room!! 🥺
Andre
I love love love this place. Free valet parking, our waiter was awesome he had great personality and gave great recommendations. The food and view was awesome. We had oysters that was very fresh and the crab cakes was full of crab meat. Honestly my entire plate was great no complaints and I'd definitely come back.
Chris H.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Even though the line was out the door, my party of 10 got seated in 10 minutes. The food got to the table quick and good! The service was awesome.
David Baum
Some of my coworkers and i decided to check this place out based on a recommendation and I’ve got to say the food was really good. I got the clams as an app and the mahi tacos for dinner and i was impressed. The tacos were pretty big and i was full. Service was really good too. For a table of 8 the food came out quick and our waitress was always checking on us. Definitely check if your in the area
Jay Six
I'm from FL, and the rest of my fam from CO, has become a tradition to all meet here with the local VA fam before our annual reunion. Good food, good drinks, good people! Wish I lived closer, see you next year!
James Leong - Realtor Associate - KW
Not sure how I found this place, and I'm so glad that I did. Some of the pictures are misleading. I orginally thought this place was kinda small like a hole in the wall place to eat, and once you get there you'll see this place is huge. A ton of seating both indoors and out. The restaurant has a ton of character. We had the calamari, steamed shrimp and hot crab dip as apps. For dinner we had the shrimp burrito bowl, and fried oysters meal. The calamari was cooked perfectly and was tender and not chewy. I was expecting maybe a handful or more of fried oysters but it was a large plate which were really good. Definitely get the sweet potato fries, seasoned with what I think was cinnamon and nutmeg possibly but they were good just the same. Nice views of the water and the occasional passing boat. Was busy but they do their best to social distance from each other you can see they could easily place more table outside but because of Covid-19 plenty of space between parties. If you in the area a good place to stop in and get some seafood.
Jerod Schroeder
Hands down the freshest and tastiest oysters I have ever had. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Killer views of the bay.
Nicole Justice
I had southern fried shrimp, oyster Rockefeller and a Hawaiian crush. So fantastic. Sits on the water but 95 degree weather didn't let us enjoy it though. Very attentive waiting staff. Chick's I will be back.
Cheryl McFall
One of our favorite places in Va Beach! Relaxed, casual vibe, great views, great oysters, great crushes...just the best if you are looking to have an enjoyable visit!
Amy Passanita
One of the best dining experiences! They have a very relaxed atmosphere, good variety on the menu, fun staff, and amazingly delicious food. We will make it a point to be back when we visit the area again!
kim fogle
I came here with my bf and his friend both from Cape Charles and I’m from Charleston SC. This place reminded me of home. Not to fancy so you can wear whatever and be free. The waitress was fun my bf kept teasing her and she was a good sport, the food was really good, and how could you not love the atmosphere? Right on the water! It was a little hot that day but they had umbrellas so we sat outside and watched the boats go by. Ferrell Williams house was across the way so it was cool to find out he lived there, or maybe just his house did 🤔. Anyway if your looking for s place to meet up with a bunch of friends or just to go hand at the bar with your boo I definitely recommend!
Ch Ch
This is my favorite restaurant. It's down-home cookin' at its best. The atmosphere is informal and extremely friendly. It's noisy in a truly fun way. There's always lots of laughter around. The seating has several options. The bar is a constant huge hit. The views are the best part. Go around sunset. Take a walk on the dock. Outstanding food, feel and views. Best restaurant for this guy!
Wanda Hummingbird
The food was amazing!!! The waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable. Her name is D the fourth letter in the alphabet!! Go check it out
Visual Artistry Entertainment
Food is amazing, service it great. Always a good time!
Ashley Sickles
One of the best dive bars in the area! Crushes are fantastic and the seafood is always fresh. We love stopping to grab a few crushes before a day out on the water.
David Hartzell
This place is a lot of fun. Big bar indoor seating outdoor seating and enclosed patio. You have a view of the harbor, and the boats passing by. The food was very good I highly recommend it.
Realtor Richard Calderon
You can't beat the view! And their food is always on point. My go to is their shrimp tacos with LAVA sauce, She Crab soup, and their calamari!! If you ever get a chance to stop by on a nice day....sit on the dock and watch the boats go by while enjoying some fresh seafood.
Yolanda Tully
The food was delicious and cost effective! But the view on the water is worth a million dollars! I will be back! This is my new favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach!
Lawrence Webb
Great food and location. Excellent waitress service too and if you are fortunate enough to have Isabelle, she's very attentive and helpful when trying to decide what to order.
Michael
Lovely place on the water. Orange crushes on point. Food was fantastic. Parking can be a bit or a nightmare but if you are able to Uber there it isn’t an issue at all. Totally recommend!
Birdies, Bogeys, and White Claws
Allow me to tell you what this WAS. 1LB of steamed shrimp, half dozen oysters, hush puppies, and Tuna bites medium rare. This place a lot of locals know about, and for good reason. This place is right on the water, complimentary valet, and good, simple food. The drinks are phenomenal and the food is fresh and amazing. In addition, the staff is great too! If you have been at the beach all day and want some great food and great drinks, Chicks is the place to go! The steamed shrimp alone is worth the trip. Thanks guys and I'll be back!
Jennifer Germano
Great view! There's plenty of seating & the food was out quick & fresh. You can come by water or land. If you want fresh seafood this is a great place to eat.
Sophie M
We enjoyed our dinner here. The service was warm and friendly, the food was delicious (full of flavor) and the view/atmosphere was awesome. Definitely recommend.
Rene'
It's a wonderful place to go to. The food is always on point and delicious! 😀
Luke Elliott
Where? Seriously where do you source your tomatoes?!? I know that’s a weird way to start a review. But I seriously want to know. They’re amazing!
Covered patio dining can be a bit noisy due to material/design choices; but otherwise pretty chill.
Crab cake sandwich, awesome. Broccoli with hollandaise, superb. Beer prices, average. Tuna tacos, would be better if you got to choose the temperature. Waitress asked how I wanted it cooked, I said “rare,” she replied “oh, no I meant grilled or blackened.” I should’ve just said “neither” but I went with grilled. What I got was medium well. It happens. Just, tuna looses 90% of its flavor when you cook it that much. The tomatoes were the star of those tacos.
EDIT:This started out as a five star review while I was still at the table. Changed to four stars at the last second. Bus boy was standing awkwardly right at our table waiting for us to get up. I could understand this if they were busy; but there were plenty of empty tables. So that was really uncomfortable. However, the real reason for the star-loss is the unnecessary valet. I know it’s “complimentary” but it’s also compulsory. Again, I could see this if they are busy. But we were one of maybe six or seven cars. It was parked twenty feet from the front door. It took us longer to walk to the stand, hand our ticket over, wait for him to get our key, and run over to the car than it would have if we just walked over there ourselves. And, let’s be honest, call it “complimentary” all you want, those guys make their money off of tips, so it’s expected. So I’m paying a guy to make me wait. Yea... thanks. I feel like the valet should only be during peak hours.
Lisa T.
Great oysters, and love the fish tacos. The side dish broccoli was amazing with the sauce. And the waterfront is a gorgeous way to enjoy a lunch or dinner... great vibes and staff. Def a VA beach favorite.
Shawn Rentsch
We split a marina platter between 3 of us and had lots of shrimp and some mussels and shrimp left over. Definitely enough for four people that can throw down on some seafood.
Dara Hartell
Great food! On the water so when daylight and it's not 30 degrees and windy you can enjoy eating out while watching the boats.
Emma Rouse
Fantastic bar and restaurant!!! Incredible oyster and orange crushes! Excellent place to sit and watch the sunset as it is on the water. You can even sail your boat up to one of their docks!
Tatiana Wheeler
It's a lovely place! Food is delicious, staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place!
Jared Thomas
First time there and was recommended the blackened tuna tacos by the waitress. Despite being peak business due to the post covid boom we only had a 10m wait when we got there around 7pm. Staff was friendly and the food was amazing!
Jay Black
This place is big! Three large dining halls located next to the ocean giving amazing views as you eat. Friendly waitstaff and amazing bartenders.
Jimmy
First off there was complementary valet service. When you walk inside there is a hostess seated area and then an outside bar area which is self serve seating. We ordered the specialty oysters and a half Marina for two people. It was a challenge but we were able to clear both of them. I highly recommend this place it was great.
Michelle Hunt
Always love this place on a sunny day or any day for that matter. great dining experience off the water which gives you a beautiful sunset. Orange cruses are always good and the view is always beautiful. Great staff and atmosphere. Food is on point I love the fish tacos with sweet potato fries. The place is always busy but you don't have to worry about parking because they have free valet. Also a great place if your trying to watch a game they have big screens everywhere. Don't pass this place up whether you're on vacation or a local.
Sharon Lumpkin
Fantastic food, beautiful view, and my Colada Crush was yummy! Indoor and outdoor seating too!
Paula Macias
The Crush drinks they have had me feeling nice! And the teriyaki chicken wings were so flavorful, the calamari just perfect. Everything was delicious and the service was really good. Staff was very nice
Emmy (Emsky)
Always a blast here! ! Great staff and atmosphere. The environment and energy is even more amazing during the summer time 💫🔥 This is the spot to be!!!
Christopher Britt
Chick’s was pretty good! The food was delicious (best crab cake sandwich I’ve had), and it was cool to just pull the boat up and be served from the dock. The 4th star is strongly because of the food quality (which is really what matters to me), but couldn’t go 5 because it took an hour or longer to get our food, and I noticed a couple of the waiters were being really short with us throughout the evening when we would ask for drink refills or the check. Just a little off-putting, but I’d definitely go back for the quality food!
Michael Green
I was just in town visiting and my buddy took me here. I'll tell you what... love the location, love the food! Right on the water. Come by boat if you can. They had a few slips available. Highly, highly recommend The Orange Crush with the Costa Rican Soft Tacos + sweet potato fries. Amaze-balls! I'll definitely try to come back!
John V Martin
Great local place with a nice view. I go there for lunch. Free valet parking (except for tips)
Barbara Wilson
I wasn't really impressed! The oysters were about $2 each but they were super duper tiny! It took about 3 oysters to fill a cracker! The blackened shrimp tacos weren't really filled with flavor & looked like they weren't fresh but were boiled from a bag. The views though were stunning & I'd give it another try when we're back in town.
Sylvain Gerin-Lajoie
WOW ! Great place and great view.
Good menu and large choice of beer.
Would have given 5 stars if Valet parking wasn't mandatory. I don't let anyone else drive my truck.
Mihir Shroff
Great restaurant. Beautiful sunset. Food is amazing and the seafood is very fresh. Definitely coming back here!
Ciara Burnett
The vallet parking is a great touch. The staff have friendly faces, amazing smiles and seem to work very well as a team. Just like the staff, their food is amazing! We ordered a kids meal chicken tenders, which was very juicy and tender. Crab legs are amazing per usual. The advertise the fried shrimp as a very good choice. I'd say it's an excellent choice! The best I've had this year. The burgers look and taste good. We also had Virgin Hawaiians which I could drink all day if I had the opportunity. We always had what we needed, anytime we were done with a dish and set it at the end of the table it was picked up to give more room on the table. I genuinely will say hands down better than any other seafood place in VB that I've been to based on all aspects. Would recommend strongly, and will return myself.
Bishruti Satyal
Blackend chicken Tacos were yumm 🔥
Mango crush tasted like Mango tart candy from back home 🤣 …
Alicia Carlton-Tetla
Awesome calamari covered with banana peppers. Great atmosphere would definitely go back! My salad was also fantastic and my boyfriends oysters were tasty!
J S
Nice laid-back place. Large dining space with a bar and an other large bar room for drinks
JustinMonica Blanco
Awesome atmosphere. Good prices. Good food. Recommend the blackened Mahi mahi and sweet potato fries.
Jennifer Simmons
Came here for lunch and ate outside. Great atmosphere and the food tasted very good, but was expensive for the portion size.
In addition, there was a hair in our crab dip. We told our waitress and she brought us a new one, but we were not offered any type of compensation.
Regina Guerra
Angie was our waitress and she rocks! Came there after a wedding with a rather large party for drinks. She kept our crowd happy. Nice breezes on the deck. Crazy young crowd, lots to watch.
Susan K
The food and service here was top notch. Our server was amazing, wish that I could remember his name, he was so professional and patient. I can see why it is such a popular place, the food was so delicious and the ambiance very lively! For my first visit to Virginia Beach, so glad that I got the chance to dine here:)
Scott Maynard
Oysters were very good. Wasn't a fan of the calamari or crab dip but both was cooked perfectly.
Jimmy Landis
Amazing atmosphere! Food is ALWAYS fantastic and the service is great!!!
Laura “Realtor Laura Rowe” Rowe
We just love going to Chick’s with our friends via boat! The fried shrimp was amazing!
Derek Camp
Meal with a view!
We got the 1/2lb oysters and two things of tacos. The tacos come with two and a side. The rice and bean side was small. The service was quick and friendly. They forgot our oysters, so they comped it. Valet parking was a breeze. The parking lot is small so get there early. This place is huge and we only saw probably half of it. I would go back again for sure!
Constance Hughes
Free valet parking. Beautiful view. Awesome staff. Delicious food.

Chick’s Oyster Bar is a must go to when we go to VA Beach! Can’t go wrong with the food and Crushes. The atmosphere and view is amazing. Great customer service every time we have gone.
Justin Hollingsworth
Service and food was great. Need Bigger Portions for the price. I had the Blacken Tuna Sandwich
Leslie Rueff
We like to visit for the happy hour shrimp and oysters. The service is always fast and friendly at the bar area. Orange crushes are delicious. We love the hush puppies, too. Once my son got the Mac n cheese and it looked identical to Kraft from the box (he loved it, of course).
For raw oyster lovers: I do get oysters each time even though they’re gritty (but for the price… it’s hard to complain too much). They need to be cleaned more when served raw.

Awesome experience! Chicks has always been a favorite of our family; & this visit was with family from out of town & hasn't been there for a while; party of 12 was sat in a perfect area, Hailey; fresh off her training period, handled us as if she had worked at Chicks for years. She got everyone's orders properly, had help bringing the food out, of course; but everything else was strictly Hailey, & checked in as needed w nobody having to wait for anything; I also might add, our family like to have fun & jokes around w the staff, but Hailey handled it like a pro! The restaurant itself was well staffed, clean restrooms, access to the water & has 3 styles of seating. Inside seating, outdoor seating ON the docks & a semi-out & in area like it's open to the air & located right inside of where the docks are but still covered & wouldn't get wet, even in a downpour; very unique experience & place! Anyone who visits or is a local, would love it!
Kim Anderson
Excellent food & service, phenomenal view! Usually a wait, but that speaks to the environment. We return every time we visit VA Beach!
Katelyn Merry
We really enjoyed our lunch at this place - the seafood was fresh, service was good and quick, and it was a beautiful day out on the dock. We had the shrimp and fish tacos, both delicious, and some raw oysters which were great. Only thing I would change is I wish they had said on the menu the sweet potato fries have sugar and cinnamon on them - they weren’t bad but just not what I was expecting.
Geoffrey Payne
This place was an amazing atmosphere with amazing customer service. While we were there we saw the owner pick up the bill for an entire table of firefighters. That is a very honorable move.
The burger was cooked perfectly and the food was hot and timely. I will absolutely be back.
Nate Breznau
Go for the sunset view! Given its location, the price of a dozen Salties (local oysters) is really good at $16.99. Totally relaxed atmosphere. Drive up in your boat if you like, or valet car parking for all.
Rick Feineis
We always enjoy going to Chicks. We take all the people who come visit from out of town there. The views are great and the food is good
Casandra Patterson
Greatest crab legs ever, skipped right over the butter because they were so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The calamari was amazing as was the she crab soup. A perfect date night, complimentary valet parking included. The service was impeccable as well, all around wonderful! This will be a regular thing from now on.
Kaderine Uy
The seared tuna was perfect! My husband and I love to come here to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Marcia Dias
Great service! Delicious food! Complimentary valler. You can't beat that!
Beth Servas
My happy place. My favorite place for food, fun and spirits!
Antoine Kennedy
We pulled up on our boat, got help docking and service right in the boat. Service was quick and accurate. Definitely a must visit!! Thank you!
Andy Amar
This platter serves around 6-8 people. 4 of us decided to order this after we ordered appetizers (spicy calamari and the crab dip both was good). Bad idea bc it a huge plater. But it was fun as hell trying. This whole dish was about $100 so when we split it by four it's not a bad deal at all.
Samantha D
Great customer service from the valet to the bartender to the server. Good food! Great Saturday night out.
Andrew A
Great location, pretty good food, nice service
Mike Mahan
I don't go here but drive Uber for people who do. Food tends to be good; clientele on weekend evenings is a little aggressive.
Lindsey Goetz
Every visit has been a great experience. Good food, great service, and a beautiful view. I recommend the shrimp tacos and the orange crushes.
Cris Witt
This place is great. But I'm pretty sure everyone already knows. It gets crowded but don't worry cause they have complimentary valet parking. They have about a dozen flavors of crushes, tuna bites were perfect, the Mahi tacos were on point and the location makes for a great atmosphere.
Marcella Boothe-Davis
The food is always so excellent. Customer service a 10 plus. Love this place all year round
Gregory Platt
Overall, I would have to visit a second time with a smaller party on a less busy day within the restaurant. In order to be fair.
Mitchell Wapner
I had the speciality oysters which were great and the tuna steak sandwich which was cooked perfectly. Oh, don't forget to try the orange crush...it's sooooo good.
David H
Nice view, not impressed with the meal. The hush puppies we hard as a seashell. The beer was hot and the rest of the meal was just ok. The waitress made up for the hot beer by bringing me another hot beer. Things that make you go hmmm....
Devin Landis
Local stop for sure, atmosphere and employees are always awesome, food's good as well
Highly recommend
Nancy
The crab dip with the pita chips tasted great. Loved the different crush flavor options provided. Definitely recommend to sit on the deck outside over the water on a nice day. Just make sure to weigh things down if it’s windy out!
Kelly Connors
Have not been here since they have added more space. Always nice and great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and food and drinks are good
Rachel Davenport
Birthday dinner. Nice scenery. Great food. Pricey beers. Didn’t know the cost til we got the bill. Overall good place.
Ask Ashley
Nice views and the server was very friendly and down to earth. The hush puppies were really good.
casey cook
A bit pricey but the food was good. And our waiter was nice but seemed to be way to busy to check on us more than once or twice to see if we needed anything. Overall I'll still go back and I still recommend this place.
Kat Burnette
Food was incredible. The signature crushes were very tasty. The limeade and creamsicle were the ones we tried and they were delicious. Staff are all very friendly.
Natalie Izadi
Good food good environment. Great casual night hang out spot!
Morganne Haley
SO GOOD. My husband and I went here and we had the calamari and I had the firecracker shrimp tacos, and he had the tuna tacos. Everything was amazing. You also can’t beat a gorgeous view of the water while you eat :)
Kelly
Went there with a big group, mostly out-of-towners. They were very accommodating with our request to sit near the water. They gave us two tables on the covered patio. The drinks and food were delicious! The staff was very nice and helpful. Both the lids and adults left satisfied and happy. Great first experience!
Adriana VH
Always my favorite little place on the water. Blackened Tuna Tacos & Crab dip is always a must!
Debbie Coker
Delicious everything! Crab cakes fried calamari blackened rockfish! Waitress Kaitlyn was great too!
Richard Lucente
Well it's waterfront so that's cool. Went for a happy hour beer. With a dollar too at happy hour prices a draft near is almost $8!
Wish I could drink that crappy lite beer. For $8 I could have a beer on the water at a high and hotel.
Daniel Hunter-Jacobs
The outside dining experience provides amazing views. We ordered the fried oyster dinner, and between the two of us, couldn't finish all of the food. Recommend giving this place a visit.
Lorraine Kish
Awesome water view with local fishing boats cruising by. This feels like a local hangout, and is very casual.
No Name
Update: We have been here several times since our initial review. Still five stars. Fish and crabcakes are always hot and fresh. The beer is always cold.
Server was sweet. Remember to tip your servers well. They will Remember you.
We had dinner tonight, out on the deck, picnic table with umbrella with an amazing view. The place is large and has a space for everyone.
Savanah was our server and she was proficient and nice. We would definitely ask for her next time.
We started with a dozen oysters on the half shell, yummy cocktail with horse radish the way it should be.
For dinner we had the special of Soft Shell Crabs and Blackened Flounder, cole slaw and fries.
Everything was really really tasty along with the cold beer. We loved it and will be back next Sunday.
Awesome job Chicks!!!
Carlito Soler
Great staff , food & drinks. Good place to watch a football game.
Nicholas Morano
Incredible vibe, great views (indoor and outdoor), excellent value and service. Menu has a wide range of offerings. Well managed establishment. Valet parking was quick and professional. Must visit if in the area.
Vicky Margory
Several choices of fresh oysters in different price ranges (cheapest half dz 8.99 USD what is excellent for European standard). The portion calamares was huge. It was supposed to be a starter but could easely be a meal. Friendly waitress. Unfortunaly it was dark so we could not enjoy the water scenery.
Sara Perez Sanders
Absolutely love the atmosphere and vibe at this place. The staff is super friendly and it's CLEAN!!!! Food is amazing, and it's really not too too expensive. Great place for a date night or family gathering. Love the bergers and sweet potatoes fries.
shaun thomason
We went and received excellent service, and even better food during the rush. We ordered a pound of delicious buttery crab legs and some pretty smoking hot tuna bites that really just hit the spot. A great location for anyone looking to get the best taste of Virginia Beach!
Jeffrey Barnett
Very fun staff, great for the family, and very good local food too. Something for everyone!🙌 🙌 🙌 …
Kirk Seither
Very good restaurant. It is our favorite place near Virginia Beach for a great shrimp platter called Southern Fried Shrimp. So far it's the only dish that my wife and I have had because it is so good.
Crystal Larson
Dinner with my sister 😍 this place is so good. Fresh food and great drinks! Get an orange crush, you'll love it. …
A L
I’ve only been here three or four times but each time was enjoyable. I hate using valet services but the valet staff is always kind, cautious, and efficient. Even on extremely busy nights, I’ve never waited for my car or had any other issue. The food is consistently served hot and quickly. We’ve never had any problems with waitstaff or the food. We will definitely continue to come here and recommend it to others!!!
Rachel H
I used to love this place. But I think it’s been hit hard the last couple years. We ordered crab legs and they came out kind of cold. Also, I was concerned about the unmasked valet having to park my car, even though the parking lot was empty. I asked to park it myself and he said no.
The best part of our visit was the atmosphere on the deck.
I hope that Chick’s can pull it together. I loved visiting here in the past.
Rutger Wheaton
Excellent food - fried oyster basket w/fries - plenty (about 15) of big, fresh and delicious oysters! Best we have eaten. Crab soup was perfectly thick and delicious. Crab dip was awesome! Lots of great food, we were stuffed! Alex was an excellent waitress! We watched how she would check on all of her tables on each pass. Prices were great also. And of course, the crushes were yummy. Will definitely eat here often.
Nick Nicastro
Best blackened tuna sandwich in town. Sever Kenzie was awesome 👌
James Bodley
Food was delicious. A bit pricey, but the view is worth it. The waiter I had seemed more interested in chatting with his coworkers than paying his customers any attention though. I'm not going to ding the restaurant on one individual though because I could see all of the other waitresses were doing a great job.
Samantha Ingram
Chick's had the BEST fish tacos I've ever eaten (and I'm from Charleston, SC which has plenty of great seafood)!
The Ahi Tuna Bites appetizer was AMAZING, as were the Orange Crushes and view! We had great service, easily making this one of my favorite meals. If I lived near Virginia Beach, I would definitely be back.
Rob Waddell
The world famous Chick’s Oyster Bar lives up to the hype. Food was great. Fresh seafood. Service was top notch and the atmosphere was super casual.
David Corley
Chicks is always great. We ended up needing a table for 14 on a Saturday night. It was packed, but they got us seated in less than 10 min. Food came out quickly and everything was great. Service was great as well. Highly recommend!
Angie Utter Gauthier
We pulled the boat up and they served us right on the boat. Good service and excellent Fresh seafood!! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Seth Dean
Great views and drinks but the service was terrible and the food was average at best.
Nicole Norman
Great atmosphere, food and service. Got seated during a shift change and both servers were polite and professional. Will definitely go again next time I am in Virginia.
Abby George
Great food the staff was Amazing our waitress was very very good. And I loved that she even shared my first name
Damita James
Fried shrimp and Orange Crush were soooooo good! Very polite waitresses.
Jessica Ziegler
The view for this restaurant is unreal. If you can, you must sit on the deck. You can see the boats ride by and the houses on the lake are gorgeous. Their orange crush is ok but not like others I have tasted. The service was awesome even though they were really busy. Definitely want to come back when it’s warmer. Great local spot!
Steve Wyatt
Phenomenal food and service. Great place for unpretentious seafood by the water!
Anna Merunowicz
Been visiting here for the past 4 years from Chicago and it’s always our first restaurant to visit. Amazing food and drinks. Only thing I ask is bring back the amazing seafood platter!!!!
Ed J
Popular spot for seafood and ambiance. Right on the water and fun to watch boaters coming and going.
Tyler Gephart
An amazing place to visit. There was a great atmosphere and a ton of staffing. I've been to places where I was neglected, however at Chick's, there were so many waiters making sure every table was taken care of, not just their own.
Frank Roman
We stopped in for dinner at Chick's Oyster Bar. It was a bit of a wait for parking but there were several valets and they were super fast. The hostess to an outside table on the dock side. Perfect view of all the boats going by. Our waitress bought our drinks, appetizer, and then our dinner. I had the bake Thi fish special a generous portion with rice black beans, avocado slices, with onion, tomato and a nice spice sauce. $27 Really Good! The servers gave us super service. Enjoy;))
Kim Proviano
Loved it... We have definitely found our go to for when we visit the area!
Scott Cressler
Great service, valet parking, fabulous prepared food.
Samantha Erb
Went for the Christmas Boat Parade and had a phenomenal time. Valet parking kept arrival and departure running smoothly and the staff inside were equally hardworking and friendly. Great experience and thoroughly enjoyed their rockin calamari and the flounder blt!
Jeffrey Howell
Had a great time here. Great view and wonderful waitress. Oysters were so good
Bo Williams
Love everything food was fantastic 😍😍 recommend this place to everyone
Matt Song
It was fun experience. I really enjoyed the oysters. We made a meal of just appetizers. The scenery was nice, looking out over the water. I only gave 4 stars because we were sitting on the porch with not AC, just fans and I really dislike sweating and eating.
Donna C.
It was my first time at Chick's.
The decor was beachy, as expected, and casual. The wait staff was friendly when she took our drink order. We needed longer to decide on our order, having no familiarity with the menu, but when we were ready to order we waited at least 10 minutes, maybe 15, for out waitress to return to our table before we gave up and asked about her whereabouts.
The food was good. I had tuna bites from the starter menu for my entre. It was not only good, the portion was generous. I had leftovers, and they were good the next day.
The conversations of other diners were too easily overheard (something to note if you dine there) perhaps something to do with acoustics?
Overall, the star of the show was the taste of the tuna, for which I would return.
My compliments to the chef.
Tooth Fairy
Food and service was spectacular and it would definitely be 5 stars if it wasn't for having to wait 45 min to get my car that I involuntarily had to get valet parking for. I think if they figured out an actual system to this valet horror show it would be perfect!
HONEST LEE
We ordered Crab legs, oysters, Mahi Tacos and sweet potatoe fries. I have had these dishes all over the country and Chicks has raised the bar. Everything was cooked PERFECT. Absolutely pleased and looking forward to coming back. Wait staff was pleasant and exactly what you would hope for. Noah was great. Thanks to chicks for a stellar dining experience.
Xenia Clare
Great staff! Consistent with delicious food which is served as a healthy portions. Laid back, fun atmosphere. Beautiful location off of the water! Had my daughter’s graduation gathering there and all I can say is the staff hooked us up and gave our large group the BEST service. We dine in often because of the staff and great food!
Allen M
This place was great! We rented a pontoon from Bay venture boat(also great) and they recommended this. ESy to pull up and tie off. The we had our golden retriever with us and the waitress was more thN happy to let us have him at our table on the dock. Wish I could remember her name she was sweet. The meal was right on point and no issues. If we are in the area which I'm sure we will be no doubt we will stop in!!!!
Dave Roose
Can't beat it! Great food, cool ambiance and fantastic service!
P G
The food was great but, very slow service tonight! 🤷✌🏼 …
Aaron Russell
Super good food and great atmosphere. Live band was onc
Sharlyne J
Soo good! Best place to get seafood! Attentive service and nice beach views too
Walt Smith
We started with the calamari which was very good. I had the Mahi and added a crab cake. My wife had the fish tacos. We both enjoyed the food and our waitress was spot on, checking on us frequently and ensuring we had everything we needed. Nice atmosphere on the Lynnhaven.
T Bone
Fresh food , friendly staff thoroughly enjoyable dinning experience
I M what I M
Love the views from this place
Good food and they make a good crushes.
Chris Grubb
First time eating here. Food was good as was the atmosphere. Picnic table was a bit hard to sit on for the 90 minutes we were there but otherwise a fun place.
Hbklos
I thoroughly enjoyed myself. A very comfortable atmosphere. Service and view on deck was really enjoyable. Last and not least...The food is great! I have recommended Chicks Oyster Bar to my Family and Friends!
Pila Old
Great food cept the Oysters Rockefellers, fell way short on expectations.
Lisa Tarbox
We had a party of about 14. Our waitress rocks. She did such an awesome job of taking care of us the whole time. She always had a smile on her face. Our food was great. This was my first time there but, I hope to return!
Margo M
Stopped by for a quick drink after being at Back Deck. One thing that helps save this place is the free valet being it's impossible to get parking. It was very crowded, as expected. Some staff was very friendly, others kind of glanced over us a few times then asked what we wanted. Having been here before for lunch, I can say the food is pretty good, but have had better.
schapa7800
Great service, crab cakes not as good as I recalled...heavier breading on top of broiled cake maybe it was mostly claw meat, definitely not a lot of backfin or lump. Fun place, noisy in bar area at far right of entrance. Quieter inside dining nearest entrance. But I don't think you really come here for a quiet experience. Love sitting right beside the water on the dock when it is available. Great to watch a sunset there. Nice sandy area for hanging out until your table is ready. It is just a fun place to visit.
Patrick Stroup
Great food and great service! Sat on the deck by the water and had some oysters and she crab 🦀 soup, delicious! …
Cameron Fisher
Chicks came very highly recommended to me, and I'd certainly seen their stickers around.
Initially without a reservation I was told it would be a 30-40 minute wait for a table but it was a pleasant evening so I left my number and went for a walk along the waterfront.
Only 15 minutes later I had a text telling me my table was ready which wasn't a bad wait at all for a warm Saturday night!
Inside there is clearly a warm and lively atmosphere and the décor was pretty nice. Next time I go back I will definitely book ahead and get an outside table as the view over the water was amazing.
The staff were friendly almost to the point of irritation - I was asked at least 5 times during the course of my meal if everything was okay, but that's probably just my European side coming out. Point is they clearly want you to be satisfied.
The food was very good. I don't actually like seafood but was very satisfied with my burger and chips (fries in American speak) but I hear the seafood is very good here.
I noticed there was space on the dock to moor your boat collect food and go which I thought was novel!
Overall I'd go again, and I think if I was sat outside on a nice day I'd probably up my rating to 5vstars.
Steve Groves
This is.a must do seafood restaurant,! Dinner was awesome, the service was some of the best you can find. Happy and friendly staff was a bonus! Super glad I went there. The steamed platters were large and delicious.... I’m going back tonight to try something different!
Ashley Hammer
Much bigger than it appears to be. Manager on duty went above and beyond to make my 3 year old son happy with the sights of the place as they have giant fish hanging all over the walls. Server was nice. Best shrimp tacos I've personally ever had. Highly recommend you go there.
Midnightgst
I really like Chic's. It has a great atmosphere and a friendly staff. It has beautiful water views from almost everywhere in the resturante. The food is good with a nice selection. The taco's are great. They have a nice selection of fresh made crushes in a multitude of different flavors. Just don't expect much from the Flounder BLT. The description on the menu and the execution on the plate are a little far apart. It's a cheap dish so I wasn't expecting some elaborate fish blt. But I wasn't expecting the sandwich in my pictures either. But honestly this is the only thing. I have gotten from here that I wasn't completely stoked about. The flounder it's self could not have been better. Maybe it's just better without the bun or in taco's. Either way. You can't go wrong here if you want an authentic beach experience off the strip and tucked away where the locals go.
Irenalindsay Lynch
Complimentary valet parking and if you don’t have cash, they have a cashapp/venmo for tips. Friendly staff and good food.
Toni Diggs
The view is gorgeous. We sat outside on a beautiful day and we were right there at the water edge. Had a salad with salmon...good not great.
Nate A
Our favorite spot for fish tacos on the water with a great view of the sunset........ Doesn't get any better.
k wads
We love it here! Great food. Great people! It was really fun!
H P
Ahh... one of my favorite spots on the beach. Great views, good people way, great food, and very good drinks
Nikki Wright
The tuna bites are delicious! And the fish tacos were fresh and filling.
Marko313 Miller (Marko313)
So first off I have a shellfish allergy so this place would not have been one of my first choices for lunch. I was able to get the Mahi fish tacos which were okay. I was unable to get any french fries or hushpuppies or anything fried for that matter because all of their fried foods are cooked in the same oil. I recommend to all eating here to get an appetizer before you get your food entree, there was a long wait on our food so an app would be able to hold you over.
I don't need them to cater to me but I would prefer to have more options when it comes to seafood, fried foods, turf food when you have an allergy.
Jason Cook
Wings. Oysters. Buffalo shrimp!!
Drive the boat up. Have a crush. TVs everywhere.
This place is a slice of heaven in Virgina Beach.
Just hang out on deck and watch the boats go by.
Hazel Paras
Always enjoy coming to Chick's! Before kids, it was one of our favorite places to go for happy hour or drinks. Nowadays we still love to come for the yummy seafood and inlet views.
Love to get their crab dip here which are served with these delicious little pita rounds.
Important to note that it is valet parking only. So bring some cash or have venmo handy to tip your valet peeps.
nathan miller
They were short on help, but did a fine service regardless. Fried shrimp were delicious. We were skeptical about valet parking but it turned out great! Everyone left happy campers.
Chris Carlson
My wife and I stopped by for lunch yesterday and had the tuna bites. We both got violently ill a few hours later and called “manager” to alert him that the tuna bites could be contaminated so as to not serve them to anyone else. He responded that he “inspected” the “line” at 3pm. First of all, after 15 years in the seafood business, mishandled tuna could produce scombroid toxins that cannot be cooked out with heat. UPDATE: Management has since responded and sent out a gift card to refund our meals.
donald bartolata
I would wanna go back to this place again. Cool place.
Kathryn Soeder
Valet parking very efficient.. Waitstaff very nice. Outdoor seating was wonderful Cheeseburger was spot on. Sweet potato fries were not cooked all the way through. All in all a good experience. Would go sgain.
Catherine Page
When anyone comes to visit I tell them to go to chick's. Best view, great atmosphere, great food. Might have to wait a while for a table but there a 4 bars and you can hang out outside until they call you! #1 highly recommended spot. Great night life as well. Orange crush is good, $7.
Sean S.
Great location, great food, great wait staff! Get the Orange Crush for sure!
Michael Holden
Awesome place, Best in Hampton Roads!! From Baltimore area of Chesapeake Bay, been here in VA all week, haven't found a place on the water that has the atmosphere, food quality, drinks, and bar staff that compares! Oh, and free valet parking too, with three bars!! Way to go! Will be back soonest!
Eric Hosek
Chick's is 5-star for atmosphere and view. It's definitely a great place to meet friends and family. A high tab is more for the view than the food.
J Garcia
Food was great, staff was attentive and prompt, drinks were refreshing. Lively ambient but still family friendly. The bar area also has plenty of TVs for sports.
Ashley Henry
It's great.... if my daughter's mother in law didn't find hair in her food. They gave her, her plate for free because we told the waiter. Beautiful view while you wait and eat.
Juju Rafii-Ebdrup
LOVE this place, it's our absolute local fave & go-to for mid-week lunch, dinner after a beach day or even watching Sunday football! (Perfect for day-drinking!)
#1 CHOICE for local eats, especially during football season bc of amazing beer selection & great wings!! (lots of great menu items)
CAN'T BEAT THE VIEWS. Best place to sit & relax on their ample deck/outdoor dining space! Seats almost on top of the water, overlooking Lynnhaven Inlet; front row seating to all the boats coming in/out of bay all day/night.
FAST SERVICE, drinks and hot & fresh food always comes quickly with ample service workers!
GREAT DRINK SELECTION, extensive beer and crush menu. Big menu with awesome options - not just blah bar food.
Recently, they added a "football Sunday" menu... sadly, not impressed. The cheese curds were blah, and buffalo chicken dip itself was ok, but it was covered in a large block of hard cheddar, and chips were meh. Although I appreciate the fact that they created a special menu, those couple items not impressive at all.
The wings/sauces are AWESOME tho - winner every time!! There are lots of great items on their regular menu.
STAFF is always great and there are so many of them (whereas most places are "short on staff" every where we go bc of covid) but not a problem here!!
Rudy Hayden
Very friendly and clean atmosphere. Had 2 separate meals there during our stay. Both servers Bella and Katie were excellent and very professional. Food was great! Only 4 stars because the oyster shooters and Bloody Mary were very subpar...
Cool “Velvet” Moose
Nice lakeside location. Food was delicious but a lot of "market priced" items which made it really pricey.
Open air seating was nice. Cool breeze but hot in the sun with no shades even at sunset.
Tim Lawrence
Great atmosphere with water view. All food in the party of 8 was very good. No one had a complaint. They all loved the drinks, esp the crushes. Very attentive and friendly staff.
David Leary
GREAT view and atmosphere. Food was good. Fried shrimp were delicious. Service was really good. Forced valet parking only drawback.
James Farrington
Great food and reasonably priced. I came here 3 years ago and again yesterday. Both times I was more than satisfied with my meal as well as the others in my party. I ordered the blackened crab cakes and was impressed with the amount of crab in them. Very good. My hush puppies were the best I've ever had. The key lime pie undoubtedly surpassed any I've eaten before.
Once again "Great job" Chicks. I'll be back again before my short vacation is over.
Anne Ledger
Perfect day on the deck. Greyson did his best.
Jim Teegarden
Nice selection of drinks and food. Service was excellent. Will return again.
Susan Parker
Absolutely the best fresh salmon I have ever ate.
Joshua Messick
Bad host experience. Waited over an hour for a table, then they tried to split our group around different parts of the restaurant without disclosing that to our party. Scenic view and stellar atmosphere did not warrant overpriced, sub-adequate food! Grill ran too hot, chicken sandwich was burnt to a crisp on the outside but undercooked on the inside. Also avoid the bowls. Drinks were ok.
Sarah Shultis
We were a bit disappointed on our visit after reading and hearing great reviews. Oysters were gritty, fried oyster basket was more than half french fries. The Costa Rican soft tacos, however, were large, a generous amount of fish, and delicious. We were staying in the more touristy part of North VB so this was a bit of a trek and didn't really feel like it was worth the trip. They seem to be getting away with mediocrity because of their view/location. Service was friendly but the food was mostly disappointing.
Bryan D
Cool place to go for a drink in the evening. They also have Touch Tunes so you can play songs you'd like to hear. However, if you play anything remotely rock / metal, your song will get skipped. And they don't have ANY rap or hip hop. Not even Beastie Boys. And that's why I give this joint three stars. If you don't want metal played, take it off your selection, like the rap you don't have.
William Speight
It was pretty good. Got the orange crush drink, it was made with fresh squeezed OJ, triple Sec, and vodka. Very tasty and fresh drink. For food I ordered the Flounder. It was a little over cooked and the fries tastes like they had been seating under a heat lamp. Overall fish was good but not worth market price. I was gonna get their tacos but it was 15 bucks for two with beans and rice. I felt that was a little much. We sat out side on the water. It was a beautiful view and it felt amazing outside. Bathrooms were clean and service was great. I'll come back and try something different.
Paul K
Delicious lunch for locals on Labor Day. We ordered the flounder BLT with sweet potato fries, and the Costa Rican fish tacos with beans/rice. Everything was super fresh and well seasoned (as opposed to a lot of the local seafood spots with tasteless dishes). We will definitely be back! Don't forget to bring some cash to tip the valet parkers.
LaTina Hassell
Great waterfront restaurant and bar. Relax in the ac or sun on the deck with great waterviews from almost every seat. The crowd gives off a friendly welcoming beach vibe that is Family friendly and the crab dip is absolutely amazing! Check it out you won't regret it!
Susan Funk
Five stars for the food and service.
Four stars on my last night there because someone took over the juke box and played depressing songs all night. I'll admit, that's not chick's fault....but it was a downer for sure.
The crushes though!!! So good. I could drink them forever! And I could die happy with a plate of those hush puppies.
Jessica Chasse
Good food, great atmosphere! Plenty of outdoor seating. Boats can pull up to the back deck and off load passengers and tie to the dock. The food is very good, but I havent had anything that was "slap yo mama good" if you know what I mean. Well, except for the she crab soup, its delicious. They offer the traditional seafood staples, crab cakes, fried seafood options, catch of the day, a couple of hamburgers. Nice simple menu with a good variety, but not an overwhelming number of options. They also offer a great variety of beer, wine and mixed drinks. It's one of my favorite places to eat in the area mostly because I like the view from the back deck.

Great local spot, consistently good fresh food, lots of drink options and tap selections. Indoor or outdoor seating to enjoy waterfront scenery. Awesome hard working, friendly, valet crew. Once you go there once, you’ll want to keep coming back.
J Duerksen
Nice little spot overlooking the water. Atmosphere was really nice. Pricing and portion size were decent. Had the seered tuna as an appetizer with a seafood salad; amazing.
Fish tacos had huge portions of fish.
Definitely will try to make it back there if I'm in that area of the Beach.
Dan C.
Ordered the fried oysters which was ok, not horrible but nothing to write home about. Atmosphere was nice, staff did take a while to come back and check on us. They do ask for your card before ordering a drink and when you ask for your check they immediately charge your card and add the tip automatically and hand you the receipt to sign. All in all the place is ok.
Josefina Frazier
We recently vacationed in VA Beach and Chick's came highly recommended to us by a family member. We heard it has awesome sunset but given the time of year, the sun had already set before we dined. This is a very casual place with picnic style seating. The only downside is we were in an enclosed room overlooking the water and it was very noisy and hard to hear one another. But the food was fantastic. Don't miss the hush puppies - they are delicious!
Ken OBrien
Just got back in the country after 16 years overseas, was looking for a nice friendly bar to grab some good seafood in, and a cold drink. Stopped in for happy hour on Friday. Staff was really friendly, showed us all the areas we could sit in, really nice variety of areas/views/seating types. Grabbed a seat in the back bar, great view of the bay. Waitress was super nice and informative, great food, great selection of cold draft beers. Will definitely be back. Only suggestion, live music during Friday happy hour would be nice.
Umberto Fournier
I have been to this place several times now. there is only a small section of it that has a see the rest of it is open to the outside and while you get a small breeze coming off of the water it is mostly just very hot and humid. I left yesterday so sticky from sweat that it was a little unpleasant. they have really good seafood great quality and the prices aren't too bad either. their happy hour specials cannot be beat this is probably the cheapest oysters you will get in the Hampton roads area. Overall it's a great place to come grab some seafood and chill on the water.
Kristine Caton
Great place right on the water, beautiful views! Wait staff were great, we were a party of 10 and there was not one problem Food and drinks were delicious and came out in a timely manner.
john gerzsenye
This is a great restaurant and wonderful friendly services. We had a awesome time and really enjoyed all the food. The claim chowder was fantastic.
Prf Gee
Absolutely great dishes! I was amazed at the quality of food they served here. It's beside the water so you get to enjoy a great view. Price is very good. There are lots of cars here on weekends so you might wait on a little traffic before you get to the spot. Very great experience out here!
Dale Hogan
Went there last night and it was so good!! Waitress was just GREAT!! It was my son's birthday 🎉 and they sang him happy birthday 🎈🎉!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to having some great seafood!! Looking forward to going back!! …
Madelyne Apodaca
Great food and location!
Karen Gavoni
The crab cakes were off the hook. Black beans and were awesome. If you a chance try them. The margaritas were tight. Very nice place a little pricey but nice
Connor Tiemann
An absolutely delicious local fair. They serve some of the freshest and most delicious seafood around and it is a local staple for enjoying an amazing dinner right on the water. Their menu ranges from delicious shellfish to succulent fish and even a few turf items as well. If you have a large group of seafood lovers I highly recommend the Chicks Marina!! They have a great selection of crushes to enjoy along with a well stocked bar. There is seating located inside and outside to enjoy the weather when it is gorgeous out. There is good parking, though on weekends or busy nights there may be mandatory valet service, so be prepared. You can also pull up in your boat and use their dock built right onto the restaurant to enjoy a meal after a day out on the water. Through and through a delicious seafood stop adored by locals for good reason. Now go enjoy some delicious oysters Rockefeller as you watch the sunset!
Dee Dee
(8/17/18) This was my first visit. Valet service! I was impressed and I'm never impressed easily. Everything was unbelievably perfect! I had the crabcake sandwich (best I've ever had) and sweet potato fries. The food was excellent! The service was excellent! We sat outside. What a view! Dolphins even came through and gave us a show. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!
Cynthia Favret
Nice location and surprisingly good service given the crowds and seeming disorganization. Crowd was young and hustling, not a good fit for anyone not looking for a pick up.
Kyng Dre
Great seafood spot. Prices are a little bit over the top. But very good scenery. Had the crabcakes sandwich. Buns could have been toasted a but more and wished I had got it fried instead of blackened. Was too soft for me. The wings were great though!
Dianne Seither
Oh my goodness! The food here is delicious! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. We will definitely return to this restaurant!
Giovanni T (Georgie)
Happy hour food prices were great. $.69 oysters/$5.99 wings/$9.99 1/2 lbshrimp/ 10.99 1/2 lb crab claws. Only had She Crab soup off of the menu, it was good, I've had better though. The bartender was friendly but not very attentive, had to get our own napkins, ketchup, didn't get any extra crackers w/oysters. He forgot my friend ordered fries until they showed up. Waited on beer a few times. *there were 6 people at the bar plus the 2 of us*
Guinness T Hunter
Great location and setting! We say outside on a deck beside the water; boats pass right by. Food was delicious and service friendly.
My only complaint was That we were still hungry after large entree platters. My daughter’s Oysters Rockefeller were great, but the lack of sides included made for a skimpy meal. My large platter had two small corn ears, but the shrimp, clams, mussels which filled the platter was basically mostly shells. Naturally, shells are to be expected, but if a basket of bread had been included our appetites would have been satisfied. The most filling item was my younger daughter’s popcorn shrimp and mac-n-cheese child’s plates.
In short, the setting is perfect; but we paid a lot of money and we left still hungry.
I would return, but I’d study the menu in advance to order more filling items.
Richard M
A must go to if you are in the area. Never disappointed and the crushes are amazing! Grab some oyster shooters, chicken basket or Fish Tacos. Mmmm I'm getting in the csr see you there!
Nanette Janulis
Always have had a good experience. The food is well prepared and tasty. I’ve found however that the same dish may be slightly different each visit. The wait staff isn’t always very friendly or even knowledgeable. Also we’ve had some long waits on our orders. But they know their stuff in the seafood department. I love the fish tacos and lobster Mac n cheese!
Nate Smith
This is a great place to go and hang out with friends and family. The atmosphere is good. The food and drinks are just fine. Order the hush puppies if you like them anywhere else because these are usually cooked very well. The fish tacos are pretty good. 👌 I got the mahi and they were just a bit spicy. Not a fan of the burgers, but if you like them well done then you'll be good. 👍
Robert Rogers
This is a great place to go! It's fun day or night! The food is good and you definitely have to try an oyster shot! If the weather is good you can dine right next to the water and you can pull up and dock your boat! They will actually serve you on your boat!
Nick
Very hard to find something negative to say about Chicks. Never had a menu item I didn't like. Prices are a little high but worth every penny. Great seating options with open-air floor plan. Very large bar space. Service can be a little slow but can be attributed to the fact that they're always busy. Accessible via boat or vehicle. Complimentary valet parking (required). Will be tough getting in here during peak weekend hours so plan accordingly.
Audra Dement
The atmosphere is beach casual and the service is always friendly and fast. Arrive by car or boat. Sit indoors or out. Do yourself a favor and order their famous crush drinks, crab dip with warm pita rounds and blackened Mahi tacos! You won't regret it! My mouth is watering just writing about it!
Aaron Speed
My family and I came to Chick's for dinner. We have been to Chick's for years. This night both my wife and my food was just okay. My wife ordered the bronzed tuna. She said that it was okay. I ordered the crab cakes. I always order the crab cakes at Chick's. They are my favorite crab cakes in Hampton Roads. This evening the crab cakes were just okay. The were missing something. The flavor was off. The crab cakes were just average. The kids loved their shrimp and sweet potato fries. Everyone has an off night. Chick's is a great restaurant. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I hope the next time we visit our food would be better.
Betsy Vega
1st time trying Chick's, the appetizers Fried calamari, Crab dip and fried shrimp amazing however disappointed with the dinner dishes. I ordered the fried flounder under seasoned, the sides had better flavor. I may just come back for appetizers and drinks.
maryalice9
We had a great experience at Chick's, this is one of the places you can bring an out of town friend and it sets a tone for VA Beach bright spots. Despite being very busy, the food came right away, and in the meantime you can watch the boats go by, enjoy the sun and water if you are seated outside. The food was good as always. Their key lime pie is delish. I didn't have any of their cocktails but the table next to us had several and they seemed happy enough to have several rounds. Definitely a gem in VA Beach. Service was excellent and the servers are very nice.
Sunny L
Loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious and the waitress was nice. The food were a little pricey but I guess you are paying for the view.
Xeniya Shirinova
Slow service, we have to take menu by our own. Oysters was very fresh but not big.
Jeff Phillips
great atmosphere with a terrific view. we started out with oysters and crab dip. both were very good, I had the flounder blt, I look forward to trying other items but it will be hard not to order it again next visit
Slothful Yoga
I love chicks deck and you you just can’t beat having the sun setting over the water as you enjoy dinner with your family and friends.
The food was not as good as it used to be the last two times I went. We had to ask to redo tuna bites as they came very dry. The seafood platter wasn’t too great either. My wine glass came with lip print on it but they replaced it once I pointed it out.
When they have live music, it adds to a good vibe. I loved this place when I lived in VB but it needs some improvement in the kitchen.
Rene Carling
Great food and drinks! I come here often and always find their food to be consistent and delicious. The service is great too. Today I was served by bartender Steve. He was extremely upbeat despite the cold dreary weather and was VERY observant.
Again, great dining experience.
Cindy Clearwater
My dearly departed brother took me years ago and recently went with a very special friend. The food is great, atmosphere amazing. Comfortable. Loved it. I'll be back!
Cornelius Qut
Good food, good atmosphere and good prices! Surprisingly big and busy place, doesn’t take reservations.
Devin Fisher
Fun, no frills place with a great location. We tried the 1/2 doz local oysters. Not my favorite. Lots of broken shell in it. Had to dig out the meat and separate it from the broken shells.
Our favorite was the blackened crab cakes. I had the crab cake sandwich and my daughter had the crab cake dinner. Both were amazing. 10/10. The hush puppies were the best I've ever had!
Barbara Baise
So much fun!! I love this place. We sat at the Tiki bar and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers. Love the background noise, casual bar setting. This is my bar spot. I do not bring my children when I'm at Chicks. Make sure to get a shirt.
Bradley Cox
Great food on the water.
Amy Legge
Food is great, service is a little lacking, atmosphere is fun though!
Karen J
I ate there twice on a 2 day trip to Virginia Beach, that tells you how good the food was. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, I also loved being on the water great place to visit.
Scott Aadal
While I love this restaurant’s ambience, on the water experience their menu system is the worst I’ve seen in 25 years. Ordering off of a PDF menu is so 2002. As the owner of a marketing agency with a comprehensive solution it pains me to go to this Restaurant. We love buying local and love Va 🏖. My party walked out in confusion not understanding your menu system. What a terrible experience
Allyson Moseley
Wait staff is always prompt, patient, informative and kind. Food comes out quickly. Orange crush and mango crush are both amazing. Free valet parking. The wait can be quite long some times, but the location is amazing. The food is often under seasoned, which is dissapointing given the prices.
Anna P
Great drinks, excellent atmosphere! A must for seafood lovers. As I don't eat seafood, I got the "nice little salad" which was delcious as well as some hush puppies. The hush puppies were out of this world! Great place and a must go!
Willson Baxley
“The Marina” is amazing; great combination of steamed shrimp, oysters, mussels and snow crab legs. Great for group sharing and plenty of food to share. Great scenery of the river and complimentary valet parking. Go to the Marlin Room for set yourself dining area if the main dining area is packed. A must visit if you are coming to VB or live in the area. Will be back!
Paige Brown
A great place to sit by the water and eat great seafood at a reasonable price. Also don't forget their crushes.
Kevin C.
Been here 4 times. Oysters can be cleaned a little more. It's almost as if they clean it with sand and not water. The service (customer type) is a hit or miss, sometimes seem careless , other times the opposite. The environment is nice as well as the view. Overall it's okay and definitely can improve.
C
Everyone here was nice! Had a good time and enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibes. However, the food was okay! I’ll give it a 3/5. But that’s just my experience, it may be different for y’all!
AMOY Brandenburg
First time here with our two little ones. Service was great!! Our waitress Mercedes was AMAZING!! She was on point with everything we wanted. Great tips for what goes well with dishes. She was very patient with little ones.
Lenny Adams
The service staff is great and the drink selection is alright, with a large amount of "crushes" as their staple, which is really nothing more than mixed drinks on the rocks. The biggest negative is the overall atmosphere and clientele, with a strong bro theme going and a fairly young crowd. The place is essentially a hook up hang out with everyone peacocking around, which is fine if that's what you want your night to be.
Erica Bennett
The crushes were great and the views were even better! I loved watching the boats come in and out while we ate dinner. The waitstaff was friendly and the seafood was delicious. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in VA Beach!
Matt Keith
This is a great locals hangout in Virginia Beach. A large number of beers on tap, GREAT food, with a beautiful/friendly wait staff and awesome riverside views. I had the Oysters Rockefeller, raw oysters and buffalo wings. All were among the best I've had in a long time. Plenty of TVs to watch sports and always packed with fun people to get to know.
C Hall
This was a fun spot to hangout with friends. The beer was good and the food was, too! Nice seating area on the deck (partially enclosed) where we watched a storm off on the horizon. Plenty of room to accommodate many people. The staff was friendly & attentive.
Marcia Daugherty
Fantastic service! Delicious, well-cooked and well-seasoned food. Received meal quickly at noon on a Friday. Saw dolphins from the patio! Pleasant setting with great food and service. Free valet parking.
Lisa LeClere
Great food! Excellent service. Never had to ask for anything. Our server was great constantly checking on us to make sure we were alright. Be advised it's valet parking only so have some cash handy to tip the guys out front...who by the way are also pretty awesome!
Matt Melissa Sandgren
Arrrrrrgggghhhh! I could have eaten ANOTHER dozen oysters. The food and service was grear. Top choice in town for us.
Michelle Sawyer
We went with our small family for an early lunch & Cheyenne was our server. She made us feel very welcome & her timing was impeccable. My husband and I have always loved this spot on the water & have been coming here for years, more so when we lived nearby. We were on our way back from OBX heading home to Richmond trying to decide where to grab something delicious with a great atmosphere. We both thought of Chick's! We didn't want our vacation to end, so we agreed that Chick's was the best spot to feel like we are still on vacation. So we brought our 13 year old daughter here with us so she could see what the fuss is all about. She loved everything about this place...the food, the servers, the view, the atmosphere, etc. She fell in love with all that we love about Chicks. My husband & I had the blackened tuna tacos & the wedge salad. It was all perfect! And sitting outside on the water was the best part!
Chad Williams
I've always enjoyed the my visits here. So many different areas to sit, have some drinks, watch boats go by and eat some tasty food.
Brian C
First the complimentary valet parking was a surprise. Went about 5pm so wasn't crowded. Our waitress Kristen was awesome treated my wife and kids nice. From the oysters, Rockefeller oysters, fried shrimp, crab cakes on point. To top it off the warm brownie sundae, amazing. Visiting from Florida for the week and will be going back when we visit again
Nicholas Mulholand
Best dining experience of our trip so far! I had Mahi tacos and my wife had the shrimp tacos. Both were amazing. We sat on the outside deck and the view was great. Service was fast and super friendly.
Manuel Flores
OMG! What a food experience!
Kayleigh DeLeon
Amazing food and wonderful service! Love their shrimp tacos, shrimp and even their crab dip! My mother in law still talks about her tilapia she had there months later! Thank you for having this wonderful seafood restaurant
Candice Gregg
Food and drinks were great. Service was on point the entire time and the prices shocked us. Great place to take our family for a weeknight dinner. Eat, drink and enjoy the sight of the inlet while the boats go by.
Tracy Matyiko (Mimityiko)
Plenty of food, decent tasting.. nice outdoor seating on the water. Really low key lunch had z pleasant time. The food is good for the area where good seafood is everywhere! Love being home at the beach! Hard to find good seafood North and midwest.
L G
Amazing food. Crab legs are way to expensive. Two claws $24 and no sides with it. I was disappointed but the crab cakes made up for it...our waitress wasn't seen again after she took our order and our food was brought to us. Another waitress brought us drinks. Gave a 3 star because of service. I ask where our waitress one girl said she was sick. Ok why didn't someone let us know? We sat there thirsty during our meal. We finally ask another waitress for help. We waited awhile to get our ticket. People who came in after us left before us. Would have purchased more drinks from the bar, but wasn't around to take our order. 3 waitress for one meal. Again food was amazing.
Amanda Greenhouse
I love this place so much it's a favorite of mine. The view is magical the food is delicious service is great exp. how busy its gets. Only the traffic at certain times is daunting but typical chicks beach. If you want to enjoy yourself come here.
K Snyder
EVERY TIME we are in the area, we have to eat at Chick's (been coming here since college, ODU, 35 YEARS)! Amazing fresh seafood, that's all I can comment on is the steamed seafood and/or raw oysters... why come to the ocean front to get 'FRIED' seafood?! Love the atmosphere, beer selection and the view! YUMMMMY!
Julia Black
This is my favorite seafood place to go to. Had the grilled mahi and loved every bite. Their hushpuppies are nothing to be quiet about because they are spectacular! Perfect crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. I don't like going to Virginia Beach but I do love this place and will come here for the food!
Mrs Lou
The food was amazing! I had the spicy shrimp tacos. The restaurant was a little loud, we sat outside. Picnic tables was a little silly for seating but the food made up for it. Plus you are waterfront! Can't beat that.
Mark Steepe
Location fantastic.. Dylan our waiter could not have done more...and food was very very good. Minimal negative a little expensive but will go back. NOT very expensive a little only.
George Allen
Our favorite place in eat in VA Beach. Great chicken wings, fries, crab cakes (w more crab than stuffing), friendly wait staff, incl Smart, attentive Cole Trower. Fun atmosphere throughout
judy armstrong
This is a fun place to eat and hang out. They have a large variety on their menu and although it's a Seafood restaurant, they accommodate vegans. I asked them to modify a vegetarian dish to be vegan, and not only were they happy to do it, it was delicious. When friends come to visit, we now always go to Chic's so that I can eat here. The service is good and we love the atmosphere. You can watch the sunset on the water. I highly recommend.
Jurgen G
The first time in my life, I can give a 5first of all the atmosphere was fantastic. People of all races ages, etc. Service was unbelievable. And very pro military. My nephew was re enlisting his father myself is fiance, etc. Were down there to not only support him but to celebrate. Thank you chicks, oyster bar. For making it that much more over the top.
David E Clark
Sevice was great.. help docking the boat and wait staff prompt and friendly. Food was good. Ate the typical shrimp crab cakes burger.
Peggy Boehm
The food was very good. The servers were very attentive. It's a very casual place and it's on the water. It was cool seeing boats pull in and eat. It was a very enjoyable experience. Will go again!
Paul Delagrange
It's hard not to like this local gem. With open windows on all sides that allow a breeze no matter the weather. You're sure to enjoy the atmosphere.
With local beach, military, police and fire memorabilia as decorations you are humbled to drink and eat here.
The staff is almost always on point.
Grapefruit crushes!!!!
Tyler Jenkins
Awesome atmosphere with good food. Lots of boating traffic if you sit outside on the dock. Also a fun place to hang out at night. Family restaurant by day with a nice bar scene at night. And this place is HUGE! It just goes on and on and on.
Jeff Cooke
Great experience! Food was great and our server Hanna (sp) was amazing.
Angie Chaffin
Great food and service. I enjoyed the Orange Crushes and Wings. Beautiful view!
Rachael Whitford
The server was amazing (thanks Ivy!!). We had a great time and the food was amazing!
H P
This was excellent! Definitely a local place, well worth checking out. The soft shell crabs were delicious and huge. Much bigger theny you get at other places. Very nice
Anna Mennerich
Haven't ordered anything I don't like yet. Their wings are superb and the wait staff is fun and polite. Down to earth feel and they also offer an "outdoor" eating area that is covered and heated during cold days. Great place for families with kids.
Mike Pavlak
Great food and tremendous value!
sam belemy
Some days good(not great), some days just OK. Disconcerting to see hired sheriff deputies and designated Security on a Sunday night. They do NOT make the best orange crushes as mentioned in other reviews, mainly because like their food and service it is inconsistent. I see a sad glide path occurring reflective usually of owners taking their eye off the ball. It used to be a place I would bring out of town guests. I have fond memories of this place I hope it changes for the better.
Michail Sweeny
Love this place, went the other day with my boss and we set on the deck, it was cool watching the boat go by and looking at the water. I ordered the crab cake blt, it was so delicious. They gave me more than enough bacon and the crab cake was huge! Everything was awesome. I also grabbed a couple orange crushes lol.
Tim Skiba
Shrimp tacos very tasty, bloodymary bar well stocked great view.
Ruth Frier
Our party enjoyed the crab cake and blackened tuna sandwiches. Service was prompt and efficient. We will definitely go back again.
Susan Atkinson (Sue)
Came back for the wings tonight. Tried the Thai Chili flavor and it was really good. Only complaint, I asked for them to be crispy and there were a few but the rest are going home to the air fryer. Best sweet potato fries around though! Also, our waitress, was in it. 2 for 2 in that area
kimberley nelson
It was a beautiful day on the water. The food was delicious. We had the steamed combo as well as the steamed oysters. Service was just right. Not too little or too much. Very enjoyable. We'll definitely be back.
Devin Juarez
The view is awesome. The food is good, but not as great as I expected based on other reviews. The service is a bit slow. The food choices are great for adults out for dinner and drinks, but children's choices are limited and not as creative. I would have to skip this spot in the future.
john sparks
Chicks is my wife’s pastime hangout that she shared with me when we started dating. Well fast forward 9 years and we still make our way either by boat or car, Chicks is worth the drive from Yorktown for us! Staff and food are the best of the Beach! Don’t forget to sit outside, you might just see some dolphins.
Mary Dixon
We ate there today for lunch. It was the best meal we ever had there. We had the shrimp salad wrap. They need to put it on the menu. Delicious
Mitch Ayers
Missing Chick’s today!
David Cake
Valet parking, only waited 2 minutes for a table, great beer selection, food is excellent, beautiful water views of the Lynnhaven River and Alan the manager will take very good care of you. Not much else to say except head for Vista Circle.
Justin Crews
I ate there a number of times while living in Norfolk and never got a bad meal the food was always hot, fresh, and great and always had a great service. However it is WAY WAY WAY overpriced though and valet parking only which is just so dumb. Great meal but be prepared to shell out some money for a meal here plus the tip for the stupid valet. Great food, atmosphere, and location but save up for a trip to this place cause it's not cheap for the meal and all the tipping you have to do.
Eric Hinz
Solid fish dinner and service. The outdoor/covered patio area is cool. I got the crab dip, as well. The chips it comes with are delicious.
Meghan Johnson
Great good, great staff, and even better customer service! I forgot to get a sticker for my collection and when I got home I reached out to them. Without hesitation they got my address and in two days not only did I have a sticker but they mailed me a koozie also!!! I couldn’t be more thankful!
Michelle Link
Good drinks. Service was sketchy, sometimes great sometimes you had to wait for the bartenders to stop talking amongst themselves to get a drink. Tons of TVs for sports, Cornhole outside, docks were all things that made this place great. It also makes me overlook the bar service.
Latasha Billups
Great food and service!
Chris Patti
Chick's always pleases. Been there for many lunches, happy hours and dinners and always leave satisfied. And of course being on the water is a huge bonus. A touch expensive but what isn't these days.
Holcomb Rockelle
So good, we like the overhang patio bc it's right on the water and a gorgeous view! The crab dip was to die for with these yummy, fresh, hot old bay homemade toast points. Loved the fresh fish of the day, I had mahi but they had 3 other choices. Great seafood, great drinks, great view!
Adriana Gonzalez
Always nice to come here every time I am in Virginia beach. Service is great and food is delicious. Just wish they had a few more healthy options.
Kathlene Holzhauer
Great spot to watch the sun set. Tiki bar was great area for dinner & Orange Crush (don't miss that). Food was good - had Oyster's & Buffalo wings. Parking is Valet & very fast. There is no charge for parking.
T N
Oysters had excessive shell pieces. No tobasco no vinegar. No clams on the menu whatsoever. Would have expected much better broiled crabcakes - coleslaw was watery and not well seasoned. 1 star for the food, 5 stars for the fast courteous service. Frankly, Red Lobster has better food.
Karsten Witt
Decent, 80% of our group's food order came out... and then 35 minutes the last few dishes followed.
Mandatory "complementary" valet parking doesn't really use the space that much better and is a pain for any local military/govt with classified artifacts within. Felt very awkward/Caddyshack.
Drinks were good, server was overwhelmed... to be honest I imagine my experience would normally be better which is why I do not give this place a 2/5. If I revisit and discover a better experience, I'll update my review. (Doubt I'll be back there however as it is not local to where I live)
1. Do not recommend unless you live nearby and are leveraging proximity.
2. Whole Foods has a better oyster bar and great prices in comparison suprisingly
3. Felt like a restaurant reliant on location and tourists to stay in business... locals would demand better
Brandon Blouin
Very popular local spot. Didn't much care for the "valet parking only". The food was decent, I loved the fresh schucked oysters, however my brother got sick the next day. After dinner hours the outside bars were SLAM PACKED full of young people having drinks and good times. This place really does live up to its name too.. I've never seen so many attractive women in once place before!! I will definitely be back!
