The first Wednesday of every month is an event called "Bourbon, Burgers, & Bingo." It's hosted by a drag queen. The same drag queen that does the "Drag Me To Brunch" shows on Sundays. And it is wildly entertaining. Bingo starts at 6:00 and it lasts til 9pm but it gets super redundant after the first hour and a half, no matter how many jokes the drag queen tells. (He's funny.) The burgers are six bucks for happy hour and really large and tasty. Calamari was the pits. Like seriously bad. The staff was very present and friendly throughout the chaos. You could still order and actively play bingo and not have to wait forever for your food. Also, they hand out a round of free shots. Bourbon and cranberry juice under the guise of some fancy featured cocktail name. I won at bingo, the fourth time we played. Prizes ranged from a Frozen Barbie Princess, to a dart board, to a coffee grinder or a Croc's t-shirt accompanied by a $5 gift certificate. It's fun. And packed to capacity. Plus, Croc's has a small parking lot so if you get there late, you'll be forced to park across the street on some grass. Random. Anyway, this is a great way to spend a Wednesday night if you're looking for something different, and not easily offended. read more

Very cool and somewhat eclectic atmosphere. It appears that this place converts into a hipster nightclub post-dinner (at least on Thursday), with multiple bouncers keeping watch. Came here June 24, 2021 for dinner and decided on being seated outside. Our server was John, and he was extremely efficient and helpful. Only two Cabernets by the glass, but the Hess was a winner. Started with a small shared appetizer the Grilled Caprese, very tasty and paired well w/ the Cab. One entree was the Pan Seared Scallops, which arrived perfectly cooked. I ordered the scallops served on spinach instead of linguine; highly recommend for Keto followers! My wife ordered the Caesar w/ Salmon, unfortunately the salmon had a number of extremely salty bites. John leaped into action and despite not being asking for anything, he removed the salad and promptly brought out a freshly prepared steak bites for my wife. She loved them! Outstanding customer service, we had a great time and John made it truly memorable. FYI--the salmon was removed from the bill. read more

The Drag brunch is EVERYTHING. THE fiercest divas. The menu is varied, lots of fun breakfast options as well as salads and sammiches. $5 glasses of champs, mimosas, bloody marys...basically whatever you want. The service during the show is surprisingly on point; it never took long for our food or drinks at all. And you will drink during this show. A LOT. One of the queens bought us all shots (multiple times) and plenty of jello shooters going around for $1. Great time. Be sure to make reservations weeks in advance, it is always booked. There's a noon show and a 2pm show (the 2pm is better, the queens are drunk off their face) and you're asked to show up a half hour early, as parking can be an issue so you're encouraged to get there early, settle outside on the patio and have a cocktail. Hi Mercedes! read more

Drag brunch was an experience. I like that someone came around with change, as I had not experienced that at other drag shows. The hostess helped me out to be sure my partner and I had accessible seating to accommodate us. It was so crowded we ended up sharing our booth with another couple (more accurately, a pair of friends, as it was 2 straight girls who had no clue what they were doing at a drag show). I did not care for the show hostess, though the other performers were okay. We got our food really quickly, and our server was very attentive. I was impressed with how easily she and the other servers managed to maneuver through such a crowded dining room. I wasn't blown away with the quality of anything I had, but everything was good. With how quickly they have to churn out plates, I guess that's a pretty big feat. Really appreciated that the drinks were strong. Don't think I'll need to go back to drag brunch, but I'd be happy to have drinks here sometime, hopefully with more LGBTQ++ folx present. read more

I've been a loyal patron of this restaurant for years. I came originally decided to come here because they were the only restaurant that actually accepted reservations on NYE. I really didn't have any expectations but when I dinned there for the first time I was in heaven. Food: There's something for everyone on this menu. With a Lebanese/Italian/American fusion it's hard to go wrong. I've had everything from the Crab-cakes w Risotto, to the Mozzarella Chicken with spinach and crab-meat sauteed over linguini, to the fattoush salad. Everything I've ever gotten from there was really superb. From an appetizer standpoint I highly recommend the tuna bites, alligator bites, and of course the crab dip. I've really never had a bad experience with the food...so you can't go wrong with pretty much anything you order. Drinks: Drinks are so-so. Nothing too risky to choose from if you like cocktails, but the wine list is extraordinary...lots of options. Prices: Medium range for entrees...not bad at all for being so close to the beach. Drink prices on Friday nights are crazy cheap. HH goes until 9PM and we are talking $1 beers and $2 rails. Wines can get a bit pricey however. Service: I've only had a couple negative experiences there and the owners took care of it. On one occasion our appetizer was forgotten and brought out after we received our entrees. Our entire meal was comped by the owner (except drinks). We were completely shocked! Not saying they will do that every time, but it certainly made us repeat customers. Also, ask for Sarah...she's an amazing waitress and is on the ball. She had perfect timing on coming to our table every time to see if we needed anything...even when she got slammed. Point I'm trying to make is...GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. Aside from everything I said above, it's also a pretty chill night spot to start our your night. Enjoy! read more

You absolutely must Drag Yourself To Brunch asap! This show is put on by Crocs (and some local and not-so-local Drag Queens) every Sunday at 11am and 2pm. You should make a reservation at least a couple of weeks ahead of time, but this show is well worth the wait! It's about two hours long and with drinks flowing the whole time (try the Sunset Mimosa!) Drinks start at around $5 - a little pricey, in my opinion. Food is good as well, they have a great deal called 'Fit For A Queen' which is a basic breakfast platter of hash-brown, fruit, eggs and comes with a Mimosa for $13! I have gotten that meal before as well as The Hangover Wrap, which was really good but once again a little pricey for $9. My suggestion though is too most definitely check it out, I've been with a group of girlfriends twice now and by the end of the show my face hurts from laughing/smiling so much. Just don't forget the $1s! read more

Crocs was an amazing experience that I shared with some close friends...it is a very small space and you must show up early as they like to seat you. The food is great everything my group had was great and the drinks are too!!! What's even better is the entertainment!!!! It's a very high energy place they have bad language and like to pick on the crowd but in a fun way!!!!!!! It's the best time I've had in a while with that bringing said.....ladies you know your man so if he is not open to this kind of environment please don't bring him I saw sooooo many men very uncomfortable today....they esp like to pick on the men dancing on them and leaving kids marks in their face. With that being said know your date before you being them!!!!! GREAT AMAZING TIME!!!!!! read more

This has been one of the few cigar friendly spots I found in Virginia Beach. The food is fairly good, the drink menu is good and the venue is a nice friendly place to unwind with friends. I always end up talking to the one manager everytime I am there, and we have good conversations about ports, wines, liquors and cigars. It's a great spot to spend an afternoon or evening if you're vacationing at the beach there. read more

I cannot say enough about this place. I will take any excuse or any opportunity to feast here. If you haven't come yet; there's nothing I can say that will compare to that first bite you take into ANYTHING they serve. Such an amazing place with a great staff. Drag yourself to brunch will blow your mind as long as you're open minded and if you can't appreciate these performers then you're the only one missing out - I can promise you that. It's 6am and if they were open now, I would be having crabcakes for breakfast. It's that damn good. read more

Huge disappointment for our 2nd chance. We will not be returning. We were excited to try Croc's for dinner during restaurant week. We use this week to ensure that we try a new place we've never been. We had been to Croc's a year or so ago late night and had a really bad experience with how packed it was and some extremely rowdy people spilling multiple drinks on people in our group. None the less, it came back on my radar when they appeared at the March of Dimes Signature Chef Event held at The Founders Inn and Spa in October. They had a fabulous pork belly dish and actually won an award for it. When we saw the restaurant week menu on the dineinvb website, were really impressed and excited to try it! I made a reservation for 8pm directly off the website through Open Table. We arrived at 7:45pm and waited about 5-7 minutes for the hostess to finally come and greet us. She confirmed our reservation and said it would be about 10-15 minutes. We went up to the bar to try to get a few drinks. No acknowledgement. Ok we went to the other side of the bar. Finally after a few minutes one of the bartenders asked us for our order. 2 margaritas please. We waited several minutes for these and they were awful. The bar and dining room were all full but there was no need for the bartenders to be as rushed and non existent as they were. Its now 8:25 and my boyfriend goes to check with the hostess. He sees her just finish cleaning a table and asks if thats ours. She says yes and he comes back to the bar to close out. We return to the hostess stand only to find out that there are now other people sitting at the table that was apparently ours that we have been waiting (for our 8:00 reservation). Apparently a waitress had seen the girls walk in, saw the open table and told them they could sit there. So they end up approaching the girls and asking them to move. They passed us as they went back up to the bar. Awkward and super uncomfortable. We finally get to our table starving and ready to order. Another 5 minutes before we are approached by our waitress. She greets us in a rushed demeanor and makes a comment about waiting forever. In the middle of ordering we find out the Lamb is gone, of course thats what we came here to order. We made our selections (duck and lobster carbonara) got a bottle of wine and did our best to try to turn our night around. The first course (Spicy Tuna TarTar and Tomato Basil Soup) came. Tuna TarTar was not spicy, but had great flavor and we enjoyed it. My Tomato Basil Soup was delicious, but unfortunately it was room temperature. After our first course the waitress came to inform is that the bread pudding (one of our dessert selections) was also gone. Seriously? We asked for another Tomato Basil Soup instead, and after hesitation she obliged. Our main entrees came. OH MY GOD, look at that duck. The duck was way over done and the plate presentation was just horrible. The "asparagus hash" that had one little tiny head of asparagus in it, was super greasy with no flavor and looked and tasted like breakfast potatoes drowned in oil from a whole in the wall breakfast joint. On the other hand, my lobster carbonara was delicious! Again, just barely above room temperature and a very small portion. Again disappointed. Luckily it made up in flavor and I was starving. The waitress came over and asked how the food was and my boyfriend tried to be honest. She did not take our complaint very well and proceeded to tell us how everyone else was raving about it and she herself loves duck. Well thats great but we're telling you that we're disappointed that its overcooked. He tried to eat it because at that point we're starving. After two pieces he was done and ate a little of my plate. But again the portion size was very small and I had eaten most of it. She brought the tomato soup out which was piping hot and delicious. Phew. Then my lava cake dessert came. The homemade strawberry ice cream was delicious! The lava cake with the raspberry sauce was pretty tasty too, just really rich - which is normal for lava cake. Not over impressed, but finally not too disappointed. All in all it was really painful to pay our $110+ tab. We eat out every week and have both previously worked in restaurants for many years. We are never the couple to complain as we ourselves have been on the opposite end. Unfortunately our experience was just that bad. The level of service and quality we received for what we paid was so poor. As it stands now, will not be returning to Croc's. We are hoping to see Croc's in a different light tonight at the Beach Ambassadors Mixed Cocktail Experience which they will be competing in. read more

Came here a few times for Drag Yourself to Brunch. MAKE A RESERVATION!! It is always packed for Brunch for the show!!! The food is okay, kinda expensive for generic food. The show is fun, definitely gets you moving! Bring a lot of ones to tip the girls! It's a great time if you want to celebrate something with your girls and even better time if you bring a guy :) read more

Croc's - Drag Yourself to Brunch Show - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Went to a private social for the Christmas holidays.. Finger food was pretty good (4+ stars) but the whole place had kind of a shopworn appearance... Essentially the same layout as it was when it opened in the '80s as Bogies. Nothing new, nothing fresh. The wall leading into the restroom area looked like it had been transformed into some sort of media shrine for one of the owners with various newspaper clippings and other printed media completely covering the walls. This ain't a place I'm going to take an out-of-town guest and tout it as one of Virginia Beach's finest. A far cry from when it first opened. Maybe they'll consider closing for a few months and get the place remodeled and refurnished. It would help. Might go back if this happens, else wise it's too dingy... read more

I discovered Crocs about 20 years ago and have yet to find crab cakes anywhere on the east coast any better! Absolutely delighted the first time and ever since. My wife and I spend every Anniversary there for dinner! read more

I just can't be any happier with all the staff. The food is great it just doesn't get any better in VA beach. Happy hour is awesome and the people that come in are great locals and many visitors. Perfect place to enjoy the ocean. read more

This place doesn't pass the vibe check. I'm not a picky eater but this place wasn't good. Especially for the price. I was played and the pictures are misleading. I'd rather eat at McDonald's before I eat here. read more

I'd been to Croc's before because I was intrigued by the menu and appreciated that they were a "farm-to-table" restaurant. My wife and I visited for dinner and while the price point was just higher than what we normally frequented, we appreciated the quality and taste. As a vegetarian, I was also happy to try options that were more innovative than your average veggie burger. We noticed that they were advertising a "Drag Yourself To Brunch" drag queen/brunch show on Sundays. We had heard a little bit about it and put it on our to-do list. We then went to Croc's on a Sunday just for a couple drinks one Sunday afternoon thinking that we'd missed the drag show. We did not. Though the place was packed, the hostess offered us a seat that had been cancelled to accommodate. We weren't eating so we perched at the bar and laughed, sang, and even slightly shimmied to the show before us. It was a pleasant surprise. After another Drag Brunch visit, we noticed that they're starting to do Bourbon, Burgers, and Bingo on the first Wednesday of each month. This was the beta test night hosted by Miss Victoria Foster who also does the drag brunch. It was my birthday, we reserved a larger table, and I couldn't have had a better night. The energy was great, the games were fun, there were even prizes offered. I'll keep going back for these reasons and also because I even had the opportunity to talk to one of the owners and learned a little about how hard she works to not only run a successful restaurant, but to be a productive part of the community. Go for the cuisine, stay for the queens. read more

Drag Yourself to Brunch....more like drag yourself to crocs only expecting a fantastic drag show with a lackluster brunch. The brunch was unoriginal and too expensive for the variety, quality, and portion size of food. I got a salad that was more olives, and peppers than salad. The meals of my mates also looked dissapointing. My salad costs 9 dollars which i was expecting to get a full salad and it was more like a half. So please do drag yourself to crocs on sundays for the show, but eat before you come. read more

We arrived here after a terrible dining experience at Tautogs. Our hostess/waitress was a breath of fresh air. My dining companion is a cut up, and our waitress kept up with him step for step. The food was amazing. Get the seared sea scallops, you will not be disappointed. The fries are delicious (we asked the waitress for two.. Just to try). We ordered two glasses of wine and then opted for the bottle. Which she/they also accommodated. This place just became a regular stop for any future VB visits. read more

Diverse menu-American, seafood, Lebanese. We had a variety of Lebanese small plates. Delicious! The Kefte and the kabob were especially good! read more

We've eaten here twice and both times have been a solid dining experience. The fried calamari comes with a key west sauce which we LOVE! The first time we went I had the scallop entree which was amazing! The scallops were perfect! The second time I had the fish taco dinner which was also very good. The last time we ate there we showed for a VERY early dinner (about 5ish) and they were cleaning up the place from the drag brunch that went pretty late. We didn't mind and the staff was super apologetic. Each time we brought our son with us and the staff has always been very nice to him (and us). I see another visit the next time we're down. read more

This strangely enough was the largest Kale salad I have ingested ! Such a good delicious thing! They also have a great brunch with fabulous entertainment! I'll definitely return and can't wait to! read more

Food was alright two stars is stretching it for food!!! Spinach dip barely had spinach more cheese than anything else... Crab cakes were alright the risotto on the other hand I think they need to pick a dish they can cook because it had no flavor and it was dry!!! Drag show was ok literally once you've seen a good show everything else is mediocre... For the good things about our experience, SERVICE AWESOME AND WAITRESS WAS AWESOME!!! DRINKS WERE AWESOME!!! read more

I've been to Croc's a few times including the Drag show. Went again the other night at about 6:00 p.m. While other restaurants I frequent are usually full at this time there were only about 7 people at the bar. No one in the dining area which made me wonder. The bartender only engaged the people he knew and so he never spoke with me. Not even "is this your first time?" I had the incredibly small blackened tuna bites placed over old lettuce. At $14.00 it was way overpriced. With that I decided an entree would be way to risky. When I left after 7:00 there was still approximately the same number of people at the bar and no one in the dining area. Lots of questions here. read more

First, let me say that I had a great time at the 11am Drag Yourself to Brunch show yesterday. The performers were incredible and I loved the venue. Yes, it is loud and dark like other reviewers have stated online, but I found it to be intimate and the energy was great. My only issue was the food. I ordered a Rosemary Bloody Mary. On the menu, it said it was Deep Eddy Vodka with Bloody Mary mix. No where did it say it came with bacon. I am a vegetarian so I would not want that. However, when I got to the bottom of my glass, there was smashed up bacon in the bottom. Not a pleasant surprise. As for food, I ordered the Vibe Veggie wrap. I can not have onions so I made sure while reading the menu as well as with my waitress that it had no onions. She confirmed it did not. I stated again I can not have them. The wrap arrived and it had chopped up onion all inside. Again, I loved the show and would love to go again but the food and drinks make me hesitate to spend so much money again when the items are not served in the manner stated on the menu. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The atmosphere, the service, the food, it's all amazing. My group went there for brunch on a Sunday. I rarely leave a restaurant as excited about my experience as I did after this. I've started planning for a return visit already. read more

entertainment was great, staff and manager were terrible. We had a reservation, got in early, and were told to wait by the bar for seating. 30mins later everyone else was seated but us. When I asked the manager all she had to say was "the hostesses are new and were not trained on seating customers first come first serve"....she did not offer to fix the mistake. I did check in with the hostess during that 30mins waiting period TWICE. We were then seated at a high table behind the bar. Entertainment began and my party could not see anything more than a wig. The menu is THE worst I've seen simple because every brunch entree included a pork ingredient. Highly disappointed-we were hoping for a fun morning but the hostess and manager ruined that for us. read more

Had made a reservation for two on the main floor, when we arrived they told us to find a table ourselves up in the bar area. When no table ever opened they told us to just sit at the bar. Terrible customer service! read more

Gluten-free and dog-friendly! Sat outside on a perfect springtime evening. The portions are huge - we ordered 5 appetizers instead of main courses and they were way too much to eat. Just the Lebanese beef tacos (two per order) could be a delicious meal. The steak or tuna bites are fantastic (we had an order of each). One other bonus - they have an extensive wine list and some impressive bottles. While some of those are very expensive, the wines by the glass are very good selections and, what's more, they are priced really well. Can get a glass of a nice chard or cab for $8, which would be $12-14 in most other places. Also had their signature martini - again very good and not overpriced. Was amazed how generally inexpensive, high quality and portion size this was. Great selection for us on spec. read more

This has to be my fifth time coming and I'm coming back asap like always! Serving staff is always friendly and on point! The drag show is always the best! And the food is always delicious!!

This place has great food and great service (Kendall) but needs a MAJOR OVERHAUL a la Restaurant Impossible. Its a crazy juxtaposition

Service was prompt and friendly. They offer bread that is amazing. I did not care for the quality of the soda. Perhaps not enough syrup. The food came out quick and was good. They have crinkle french fries that were awesome. Looked like decent drink prices as well although I did not get booze. Walking distance from the double tree and convention center which was a perk. read more

Terrible food. Service was okay if not good considering covid. The food however was an atrocity. The pizza we ordered fit in the palm of my hand. It was T I N Y. The Kals burgers we ordered were possibly the only affordable item that wasn't taken off the menu and still sounded good. We were met with a mediocre burger accompanied with non salted under seasoned frozen fries. Put some salt on it or at least fully cook them. Burger was underseasoned and pasta was the equivalent to cooking macaroni with lazily diced vegetables on top. Do yourself a favor and eat some cardboard instead. It'll be cheaper and probably more flavorful read more

It's been a while, but from what I can remember, Croc's is a nice hole-in-the-wall restaurant with unique cuisine at affordable prices. I ordered the fish tacos which were flavorful, and something I would order again. My friends got the scallop linguini (good thick creamy sauce) and seafood risotto (nice variety of scallops, clams, mussels, and shrimp). It looks a little run down from the outside, but inside, it's nicer and the service was great as well. I would definitely come again and try it out if I ever came back to va beach. read more

I went on a date at Crocs last week and it was very good. Kendall was charming and cute and provided fantastic service. She started by offering a fatastic suggestion for a drink. A house martini with lavender.. I can't remember but it was smoothe and delicious! My date got the mojito which was very good! Appetizer - Gator bites! I had never had them and I was glad we did, very good and plenty of them! (it's like calamari had a baby with chicken tenders). I ordered the Short Ribs. Now, mind you, I have ordered the Short Ribs at like 5 of Hampton Roads premier dining destinations so I'm kind of hard to please.. The flavor was good but the meat was not cooked long enough - another couple of hours, guys! The flavor could have used a bit more bite and a bit more smoke (in my opinion). The rice was good but could have used more flavor as well. My date ordered the Chili Verde - superb! Very tasty and plentiful :-) Maybe even too many grits - less is more sometimes. The desserts were not made in house - fix that - you have talent in the kitchen, USE IT! A lot of potential at Crocs. We had a great night there and I am looking forward to another vist! read more

I like the local, organic premise. Doesn't quite hit the mark on the dishes we had. I had a wild hair and ordered a caprese grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. Wasn't great. How do you f up a gcs? The house salad was the best thing I had. I'll stick to salads if I go back to this place for dinner, as the organic local thing is evidenced in their green fair. Best thing about Crocs is when they have have a good DJ on Thursdays. Haven't been to Drag brunch yet, but I hear its faboosh read more

Do NOT get the crabcakes. I'm not sure if the crab they used had been frozen, was backfin or if it was claw meat. Positively not a single bit of lump crab meat which is what one would expect from this local restaurant. No matter. It had no flavor at all, a total disappointment to the evening. I am giving two stars because the service was great. read more
