Awesome customer service. Walked and was greeted right away. As I was sitting down a worker named Fredrick greeted me and brought me silverware. Saw on Yelp that they had an ostrich burger. I like trying new stuff, however I didn't see it on the menu. They did have camel. I thought it would be gamey but it tastes like beef. The place is spacious and clean. It would be a good place to hold command functions. They have different options to dress the burger and also a burger bar with hot cheeses.

Sweet Potato Fries
Patrick G.

I ordered from Fuddruckers during a recent visit to VA Beach. I ordered my meal through DoorDash. I ordered the following: Turkey Burger Wedge Fries Fries and Rings Sweet Potato Fries My food arrived within 30 minutes. My Turkey burger was cool and lacked any flavor at all. My Wedge-Cut fries lacked any seasoning, and the portions were small. My Fries and Rings were not evenly balanced. I received more cold and tough chewing onion rings than I did fries. All lack any flavor or seasoning. My wife's Sweet Potato Fries were stale and old-tasting. After spending over $50 on this meal, this is truly unacceptable. I looked forward to this meal because I hadn't had Fuddruckers in years.

This place is underrated and under appreciated. The burgers are fantastic. They are always juicy and flavorful. You can top them yourself however you want. The buns and cookies are baked fresh in house. This small attention to detail really separates this place from your average burger place. It's kid friendly, there's some games for kids to play and they have an affordable kids menu. Speaking of affordability it is considerably less for a family of 4 to eat 4 meals here than it is at Five Guys. So next time you want 5 guys save yourself some dollars and come have a better experience. The counter staff is friendly and accurate with the orders. Never had a problem there. It's mostly self service but they do have two incredibly friendly workers who will refill your drinks or get you a box or anything else you might need. They are always checking to make sure we have what we need and they are personable and friendly. The floor staff really goes the extra mile. The owners of this franchise are clearly committed to success so come down and support this locally owned franchise so it can stay here for many years. My family and I really enjoy coming here and want it here for good!

lamb burger

The last time i had Fuddruckers was i guess a long time ago when it was at Pembroke so pretty long time lol even though i know there was one in Norfolk after that I didn't go but this location is right by my house and last year I couldn't make it i went on a monday and it was closed so today i went this year for a couple of things I ordered to go got the lamb burger medium well it just looks well done. That is ok because it is delicious. Getting my order was nice and helpful. Asking for take out boxes and giving me ones to get toppings at the salad bar was nice. I got some waiting time was fine I was in no rush. the burger was huge and it made me totally full. I thought inside was clean and pretty neat. Will come back to try the other items on the exotic menu.

2/3 lb burger with pepper Jack cheese, pickles, and onion rings.

I'd heard of this place and decided to give it a try. I was a bit surprised as other reviews mentioned servers and so I anticipated sitting down and ordering. Nope. You order at a counter like McDonalds. They give you a buzzer that notifies you when your food is ready and then you come and get it. We did have a busser who was very friendly, but that was the closest thing to a server. That said, I loved the place. I'm from out of state and we don't have it there, but if we did I would go regularly. The food was delicious and the menu had many items I want to try. There were 3 in our party, we all had different items, and they were all good. Highly recommend.

Food is amazing for those burger lovers! This new location is clean and an upgrade from when they used to have one back in the day at virginia beach blvd. The restrooms said a lot about this place. That they are clean! Paper towels available on the table, clean stations, tables and condiment area and counters. The kids were mesmerized by their mini arcade full of lights. This is great for family fun. The price isn't obsurd for our family of 6. The kids meal is nearly equivalent to the regular size burger. The exotic burgers are a plus for a change like the elk and venison and the salads work well for vegetarians. When it comes to your burger, the option of having to customize my toppings are a favorite. I just loved my bleu cheese, mushroom, burger. The best part for my family is that they have condiments and everything you could name to dress your burger to your liking. For the kids it makes it easy for them to pick and choose and for those people who are picky eaters.. the hamburger comes plain. I love the fuddruckers sauce, the pico de gallo with jalapeño melted cheese are great dipping sauces for the fries. We sat outside because we had our furby come with us to dine in their patio. They conveniently placed their dog bowls for people that have dogs. They made sure we had a clean bowl with water for our Furby. The service at Fuddruckers was impressive of how everyone was very friendly. They took good care of our family. When the kids went up to the counter to get their cookies and the lady in the counter happily showed the kids their options. Freddy made sure to bring out a box for our leftovers and tended to our cleanup, knowing we had a whole lot of cups and the tendency that the kids might make a mess. For everything we got on our bill with military discount it beats going to burger king and other burger chains in my opinion.

These are their hours of operation.  Photo taken February 4, 2022.

This Fuddruckers has recently opened along General Booth Blvd. It is the same location where Jake's BBQ used to be a few years ago until the owners retired from the business. In that time, there were different signs of places that would be coming in. I was glad when it was finally going to be a Fuddruckers. On the opposite side of Edison Rd. is Lidl for frame of reference. My first visit here was on February 4, 2022. When coming up tp to the place, it was around 3:15 pm, so it wasn't busy at all. My mom and I were the only ones in there, but shortly after ordering, a bit of a "rush" came in. On this visit, I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with pepper jack cheese as a combo with onion rings. My mom was with me too, and she got the half pound burger with American cheese and bacon with wedge cut fries; there is a toppings bar where you add on other items such as lettuce, tomato, onions, and pico de gallo. The sodas here are Coca Cola sodas. We had a set of coupons from the Valpak mailer, so we used a $5 off coupon too. Since the place wasn't so busy at first, I took some time to take photos of the place inside, which will be included with this review. The inside was typical of a Fuddruckers and there were plenty of tables in there. They also have some arcade games inside as well. On the outside, I do see an area where some outdoor seating will eventually be available as well. As noted above, it started to get a bit busier after we had ordered. After taking some pictures of the place, we waited for the pager to light up for our food to be ready for pickup. We kept waiting and waiting. Orders from those that came in after us were getting their orders before us, so I don't know why it took so long for our order to be ready. It was about 15 minutes after ordering when the order was ready. When we got the order, everything was nice and hot though. I had to go back up there as for mine, they gave me the wedge cut fries instead of the onion rings I ordered. They got the onion rings for me right away and got back to the table. Then, I went up to the toppings bar to get toppings for the chicken sandwich. I ended up going with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pico de gallo. I always like to have a bit of a kick to what I eat when I can. My mom had the burger. She said the burger was good, but definitely cooked more than medium as ordered. Next time she said she would go medium rare instead. Overall, this was a very good first experience here. They do have servers here that will help you if you need anything. Ours came over a few times to check on us to make sure we didn't need anything. At one point when we were nearly done, one of the managers came over and asked how things were as well. My mom didn't want to address the burger overcooked issue, so it was never brought up at that time. I know some are still learning the ropes since they only opened recently. As a tip, if you have any of the Fuddruckers coupons for the Tidewater Dr. location in Norfolk, you can use those here at this location as well. This place is still definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo
Steve R.

I finally made it to this new location and very convienent being we live less than a mile and a half away. It's been easily 20 years since visiting a Fuddruckers which was located in the Pembroke area before it went away. What I remembered was the chicken sandwiches and how you could build it yourself. Well the chicken sandwich didn't dissappoint! The flavor (wife and kids felt it was a bit on the salty side of all the seasonings of everything) was good, the portion size was gigantic and the fries were hot and crispy. For me, it checked the box for a chicken sandwich and probably the only thing I would come back for...that and the Onion Rings which I felt were better than most places around. Now the downside personally for me was mainly the cost of it all with the atmosphere that followed. It has that "family/kids" feel to it with bright lighting offering some "bar" ish vibes such as lots of TV's to watch sports and such with a game room while serving adult beverages but to me, that always feels weird but at the same time, could be awesome for an overall experience being out with the kids and relaxing for a bit with some grub. I prefer to go a different route if I want to kick back with some cold ones and good burgers/sandwiches but the chicken sandwich didn't dissappoint. The burgers are massive as well so for the amount you pay vs what you get, it can justify itself somewhat. For me, the burgers were a basic flavor profile but definitely off of a skillet. I prefer a burger that size and for that amount to come off of a grill. It didn't pop like I wanted and could have gotten that for cheaper at several different places but for the size, if that is what you are looking for, they will take care of that. It all was just "ok" to me and glad we visited but if I am being 100 percent transparent, I would prefer any number of other places especially for a good burger than here with a different vibe as usually when I want a cold one and relax, I prefer a bit more of an adult situation with it. Chicken sandwich and onion rings for sure and something I could possibly order to take home if I am really wanting that. I think it's worth a visit for sure but be ready to put up some money as you build your meals especially if you are with a family but worth giving a shot to witness the massive eats they will give you in a pretty family/adult-ish type vibe to kick back and relax.

Wild Boar Burger Medium.
Nick W.

In my opinion, I had a pretty good time, but it was not a near perfect one. The service I got from here was very good, with our server checking on us constantly and making sure our glasses are refilled and we have boxes for our leftovers. When it comes to the environment, it was nice and very family friendly, but I wish it could have an area more centered around adults. When it comes to our food, I ordered both the fish and chips and a boar burger. The fries were decent on both dishes, but they tasted a little bland despite the seasoning. The fish in the fish and chips tasted too sweet for me, and I couldn't even fully finish it. For the wild boar burger, it was really good. The boar burger had a lot of flavor and tasted like a nice beef patty instead of pork. I always thought that boar tasted like pork because they were related to pigs. Boy, I was wrong, and it was a good thing. I honestly hope Fuddruckers and other restaurants can offer other types of meat for their burgers as well. It's a great way to attract more customers. Overall Positives - Boar Burger was good - The staff was really friendly and helpful. - Excellent place for families. - Still have the same yummy sugar cookies from Pembroke. Negatives - Besides the Burger, the food was very average, in my opinion. Also, let Fredrick know that he was an awesome server during my time with my friend here!

Venison Burger

My brother and a friend of ours had an enjoyable first time experience at Fuddrucker's. The lady that took our order was patient, kind, and we could tell she was a hard worker. She was losing her voice due to her allergies and still going strong. We reassured her when she apologized... That lady deserved a break to rest her voice and I felt bad when there was a huge rush after us !! The food was pretty good, and we all liked the experience of topping our own burger/sandwiches with the assorted veggies and condiments available to us. It's a fun idea. Unfortunately they were out of ketchup, and none of us really wanted to eat until the ketchup was refilled and it took several minutes. Maybe it wouldn't bother some people, but I can't eat my burger or fries without ketchup, and nether can my friend. We finally sat down to enjoy our meals and I realized that they had supplemented my Beyond Burger with a wheat bun without me asking for it. I guess they assume that picking the vegetarian option means you wanted a "healthier option". Next time I will know to ask for a white bun, as I'm not a big fan of wheat. The burger was cooked correctly, however, and I was happy with my extra mayo, extra lettuce, and extra onion. I love how many dipping sauces were available for my fries. I'm a dipping person so I really enjoyed that. The fries were average but having whatever dip I wanted enhanced the experience. My brother got the crispy buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. He is not very opinionated when it comes to food, but it looked good and he said it was tasty! My friend went with one of the exotics, the venison burger with no fries. I think it's really cool that they have so many meat options. He enjoyed it. The milkshakes were really good!! They gave us the extra shake that wouldn't fit in the glass in the metal cup it was blended in. I loved my Oreo shake. The Oreo bits stayed crunchy. It was really good. My brother quickly downed his chocolate shake, so I'm assuming he enjoyed it too Fuddrucker's is a fun, build your own burger experience. I will be back. Apparently they are coming out with a veggie chicken option, which I'm excited to try!

The works burger with some of the most uneven sesame seed distribution we have ever seen.

If I could give it two and half stars I would. Me and one of my best friends hit them up because it's been a dog's age. One surprise was the teenage mutant ninja turtles pinball in the lobby. It was fun, for 75 cents a play, but i was absolutely awful at it. XD I'm definitely going to play it again on the way out too. If you're not familiar with Fuddruckers, you order at the counter and they'll give you your cup and little pager (the buzzy little devices that tell you your food is ready). You grab a seat and maybe a drink at the soda fountain while waiting for it to go off. Once it does you go grab your food. They have a topping and condiments bar along the way. You can add onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, all kinds of sauces and veggies to make your burger or chicken sandwich just the way you want. They're pretty good about keeping the veggies and sauces stocked, the veggies also looked inviting as well, nary a wilted piece of lettuce in sight. The two bussers/ maybe waiters? Kept the whole room turned over at lightening speed. One of them introduced himself and did get my friend a couple refills, but I stuck to grabbing my own. He wasn't as consistent as I'd expect an actual waiter to be, but the place was very clean and very tidy, which I appreciated and they were both always doing something while we were there. I ordered chicken strips with sweet potato fries and a side of onion rings. My friend got the 1/2lb works beef burger (I say this because they have things like lamb, ostrich and bison) with sweet potato fries and also a side of onion rings. The food was crispy, major plus. The sweet potato fries were weirdly bland, even with some additional salt. The onion rings were an excellent choice and my favorite food. Crispy, well seasoned and well cooked. Chicken strips were ok, but nothing spectacular. It didn't help they use Heinz for everything and I'm just not a huge fan of their bbq sauce - it's a little tangy and quite savory where I lean towards thick and smokey sweet. My friends medium burger was tasty, had a lot more mushrooms on it than he expected, but was weirdly unevenly cooked. In one part, definitely well done and the other part was definitely rare. It wasn't a middle outer edge thing either, it was nearly split down the middle. Overall he did enjoy it, but next time might get a smaller portion (you can choose from various size patties). My whole meal, drink and onion rings (there is a 99 cent upcharge for sweet potato fries) with tax came to just over $23 bucks. I don't think we will make a point of returning, but we won't avoid it either.

The usual Fuddruckers gaming area. It's quiet in here today

The rude guy working the bar was neither friendly or pleasant. There were no napkins when food was served. I stood up and politely asked for some. I found some below the register and, since the guy was busy prepping drinks, I decided to get them myself. He then said, "okay do my job," which was unnecessary and rude. Though the other waiter was friendlier, service was overall bad.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV

The menu is small but very intentionally focused. They offer smash burgers done right, the iconic Norfolk snap dog, ice-cold beers, wine, and classic cocktails, and the prices are honestly great for the quality. The space itself feels like an old-school local diner in the best way. Bar stools, cozy seating, and that nostalgic, no-frills vibe that makes you want to hang out longer than planned. It's small, so definitely expect a wait during busy times, but it's absolutely worth it. They also have outdoor seating, which will be clutch once the warm weather really kicks in.

I could eat those alone and be happy. The Mickey Burger comes with a double patty, cheese, Goodboy sauce, pickles, lettuce, onions, and a sesame bun. I subbed the raw onions for grilled onions (highly recommend), and it was perfection. Juicy, crispy-edged, flavorful ... everything a smash burger should be. I truly can't express how good this place is. The service was great, the food was unreal, and I'm already planning my next visit. Next time, I'm definitely trying their espresso martini. Frank and Patty's has officially turned me into a burger person, and I'm not mad about it.

Out in Va Beach for the craft show and decided to get lunch while out there and stopped at Frank…read moreand Patty's. The Good: Really liked the food (dog for me and burger for my son) as well as fries each. I'm a little picky about my hot dogs but was very happy here. It had the perfect amount of ketsup, relish and mustard for me. Sons burger was very good too. Fries were pretty good but kind of pricey for the amount given. The Bad: Finding this place is a pain especially if you are not familiar with the beach area and the noise level is quite loud as it is inside a garage. The server (at the bar) was very friendly and it was a quick meal, under 30 minutes. Hindsite: only get 1 fry and save room for the banana pudding the next time. We will return for sure.

We stopped her on a whim, having driven past many times. We're glad we did. It is the…read morequintessential beer pub. We were greeted and seated promptly. There is a good selection of Virginia beers on tap and a rotating selection of beers from around the country on tap. They also have a cider on tap. There is a small selection of wines, canned beers, non- alcoholic beers, and for those who just graduated from soda - hard seltzer. The food menu clearly labels gluten- free and vegetarian options. There is a nice selection of appetizers, flatbreads, bowls, burgers, sandwiches. My husband and I both went with bowls I had the poke bowl and my husband had the chicken bowl. Both were delicious and above what one would expect for a pub. Mine came with succotash, which I thought was an interesting choice, but it worked. We split the pretzel, which was amazingly good. The waitress was attentive and good. They do have live music on Friday nights. There are many different happy hours during the week. Definitely we will go back

This was easily a zero-star experience and a very disappointing way to celebrate a birthday…read more We made a reservation in advance for a party of seven to celebrate my father's birthday, knowing it would likely be busy and wanting to plan accordingly. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations from the start. Our reservation was at 5:45 PM, and after nearly two hours, we left at 7:30 PM without ever receiving our entrees, and some of our drinks never arrived either. What made matters more frustrating was the lack of communication. Our server came back 3 times to tell us they were out of ingredients for drinks we had ordered, but never offered alternatives or clarified what was available, leaving us stuck and repeatedly restarting the process. We were never checked on and he only came by to tell us our food wasn't ready or they couldn't make what we ordered. To make matters worse, several tables seated around us, many with larger parties were fully served, finished their meals, and left while we were still waiting. It was incredibly discouraging and made us feel completely overlooked. Overall, this experience was extremely frustrating, poorly managed, and not at all what we expected. We will not be returning.

Hands down the best happy hour in the city. I'd argue it's probably the best restaurant too. The…read moreraw oysters are killer, as are the cocktails. The best thing they ever did was to bring the short rib back! I recommend this place to literally anyone who asks for a rec. Be prepared for a wait unless you get to HH early on a random weekday.

This past weekend my in laws were in town. We were on the boardwalk and they wanted oysters... I…read moresaid say less! I had been to The Atlantic years ago and had a great time. I think this time was even better! We arrived around 230 on a Saturday, lucky for us happy hour started at 3 and we had a 30 minute wait for 6 people. Literally perfect timing because no one was waiting before us and about 10-20 minutes later the waiting area became packed for that 3 o clock happy hour. Side note: happy hour is from 3-7, 7 days a week! The service was phenomenal, the whole staff was so nice and accommodating. While we waited for our table, we were able to order a cocktail from one of the waitresses. We also had a baby with a stroller and they made sure we had plenty of room once we were seated at our table. The food was amazing, I'm a fan of cooked oyster but i decided to be a little spontaneous and try them raw. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and clean tasting these oysters were. It reminded me of eating sashimi. My wife and father in law had the lobster rolls, they both loved them! My son had the double cheeseburger from the happy hour menu, literally cannot beat this deal. $6 double cheeseburger with fries on the boardwalk is unimaginable lol. I had the Nashville hot chicken, which was good but maybe could've used a little more flavor. But the quality of the sandwich as a whole was spot on. I really don't have any complaints, this was the highlight of our day. My in laws live in Wisconsin but they travel a bunch and they said that these oysters were some of the best they had ever had. They would never see 1$ oysters where they live, so I'm glad we were able to come here and create this memory together. If you've ever debated whether taking the trip to the strip is worth it, it is! Definitely check this place out!

I decided to visit after walking up an appetite at First Landing State Park…read more I popped in & was told to sit wherever. I found a booth & looked over the menu. Decided to start with their fried pickles which were absolutely delicious! I also ordered a hamburger but was t impressed with it. It was cooked well but lacked flavor. The fries however were absolutely delicious!

The food is fine for the price but the manager (heavyset man with a beer gut, beard, and ponytail)…read moreof this specific establishment is a real tool. Ladies if you look good he might let you slide on free items (I've seen it myself) but fellas he's gonna hassle you even for sour cream if you don't tip him enough to his satisfaction and then complain to your face about it if you're a regular. To those that care: The specific incident that caused my review was I had went in on a tuesday for their "taco Tuesday" special. Now because I work by the oceanfront I frequent this place. I've been told they aren't supposed to let you walk out with to go orders on their taco Tuesday, but if I pay for and eat some of my food who is this manager to say I can't leave with a to go box(which in most cases I have), but I digress. I tried to do it today and the manager comes to me with a nasty attitude over me not tipping enough for his standards telling me I can't take my food to go because he doesn't feel I tip enough and "what's a 5 dollar tip gonna do for him". Keep in mind I told him I'm not ordering food for just myself I sometimes take lunch orders from work which is never more than 5 to go small tacos. I've never been rude to this man I'm a quiet person so I usually order wait and leave. I work for a reputable company that sees a lot of tourism and I often recommended this spot to our guests but due to this situation I will be advising people to avoid this place if you're not just going to drink at the end of the night on The Weekend. In the specific event the owner of the restaurant was there and confirmed they weren't supposed to be doing to go tacos which I can respect. What I dont respect is the manager picking and choosing when he wants to follow the rules of the establishment for his own gain.
