Jerrrk Time

I visit the VA Beach area often for work and since there are so many amazing places to eat in this…read morearea, I'm always checking social media for new ideas and this was one I had on my list to try, so I tried it today for lunch. Getting there soon after they opened, they weren't busy, but by the time I left, there were many more inside eating. Service was very helpful and friendly from the lady working the front. She explained the menu and gave some good information on the questions I had. I opted for a blackened shrimp taco and a their taco called "The Truth" as well as a small side of their beer battered fries. The fries were done first and she brought them out to me while they were piping hot. The looked and smelled amazing and they were really long! The flavor was great! I dipped them in ketchup, which was decent, but dipping them in their habanero creamy sauce was my preference. Next up were the tacos - They looked quite nice, with fresh tomato and slaw on them. The shrimp taco was my first and it was loaded with shrimp! For the price, this is a really good deal! The batter on the Truth taco's fish was fresh and pretty good, making that taco really good as well. Overall - Definitely really good food! I'd most definitely return!

This was my first time at this restaurant, but I had heard a lot of good reviews from my coworkers…read morewho've been here before. When I walked in I was greeted by an employee there, Adam. I had 3 people in front of me in line and it didn't take long at all for me to reach the register and place my order. I wasn't that hungry but wanted to try the food out, so I got a Truth flounder taco for $4.95. The food was made quickly and tasted good! Bro's Fish Tacos has about six signature sauces which looked good, but unfortunately, they all have dairy in them, so I asked for the mayo based tartar sauce instead. While all the signature sauces have dairy in them, I appreciated that they stated that fact on their menu beside where their sauces were listed. I wish I had come about an hour later in the day because, after ordering, I learned that they have a happy hour from 3 to 5:30 each day where The Truth Taco is $3.50 and other dishes are cheaper as well. Some street fries were ordered for the table, and I had fished out about 5 fries without the sauce (because I figured there was a dairy sauce and cheese on top) and the fries were really tasty as well! The atmosphere inside is very fun and bright with huge glass garage door windows letting light in and colorful paintings of animals on the walls. If you have sensitivity to noise, know that they keep the music volume pretty low, but since the restaurant is right on the boulevard and has large glass windows, you're likely going to hear some noisy cars drive by. Overall, I had a good experience and would come here again, especially on a Tuesday, Sunday or after 3pm since that's when they have the best deals (which I appreciate)!

Bite of Maine has had me in a committed relationship with lobster for YEARS, and frankly, the other…read morelobster spots can stop calling. They simply do not compare. The lobster roll is the star of the show--tender, juicy, buttery perfection piled into a soft roll like it knows exactly how important it is. I will say, the amount of lobster seems to have slimmed down a little over the years...maybe an ounce or so? And yes, I noticed. I have photographic evidence! I've been sending pictures of these glorious lobster rolls to my sister for years purely to rub this delicacy in her face, so I basically have my own unofficial lobster-roll archive. The crinkle-cut fries are another must, especially with a little Old Bay sprinkled on top. That tiny dusting takes them from "good fries" to "hand me another basket immediately." And don't sleep on the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp are plentiful, nicely seasoned, and consistently one of my favorites when I somehow manage to order something besides lobster. I've had the whoopie pies. I've had the Snap Dogs. They're perfectly fine, I'm sure. But this body was not built on "perfectly fine." This body was built on the REALLY good stuff. LOBSTER. Bite of Maine remains my lobster-roll champion. Everybody else is just out here participating. Inside is cool and quaint, lobster eclectic with a community vibe. Service is fast!

If you love burritos, you need to track down The Coop food truck. Hands down my favorite food truck…read morein Virginia Beach! I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene. Can't wait to catch them at their next pop-up!

A great German food truck!…read more I haven't seen many German restaurants around Hampton Roads since moving here, so I was ecstatic seeing this little food truck going down the road! I immediately looked up their schedule and a few hours later went to grab a bite to eat! We started off with schnitzel, spätzel, and potato salad. We were so impressed with the schnitzel, we went back for more and also tried the curry fries. The potato salad is different than what I am used to from German restaurants, but it was still good. It was my first time trying curry fries and I LOVED THEM! So yummy. The owners were so quick and friendly! Overall, this was such a fantastic experience!

Taste of Brazil was the food truck here that night, so I scoped their menu online before ordering. We both ordered the chicken plate - mine without the plantains and his with.

Then, the waiting... and waiting... and waiting... 45 minutes later (and we were 3rd in line to order), we finally got our food (they definitely need to prep ahead of time for the anticipated lines). It was NOT worth the wait and we were really disappointed. For $10 each, we got a ton of plain basmati rice, some black beans, the most tasteless, dry chicken, a little shredded lettuce and a couple of grape tomatoes.

I had the amazing opportunity to eat food from this restaurant on Monday, November 13. I was too busy at work to actually go seat down and enjoy the food so I had to get it delivered. I had the Oxtail, Rice & Peas, and Cabbage, as well as 4 pieces of Fried Chicken covered in Jerk Sauce. It was absolutely amazing. The Oxtails were very tender and Flavorful, the rice and peas complimented the Oxtails by adding just enough balance to really accentuate the oxtails. The cabbage had a kick to it but had what I would consider a good amount of seasoning. The fried chicken was okay, but I would have like more sauce on the chicken and I wasn't able to really figure out which part of the chicken I was eating, but other than that they were tasty. Sadly I wasn't able to snap a picture, mainly because I was to busy enjoying to food. I would rate this experience a 9/10 read more

I walked in just in time before the door was locked. Lucky Me! I've been wondering where can I find some oxtail?!?! I asked my hair stylist and she told me about this place. It is worth the hype. Oh my goodness I ate all of my oxtail and rice and even the mac and cheese in one sitting. Yes I was hungry and yes they serve a heaping amount of food. I complained about a belly ache afterwards but my word the food is delicious. Feeds the soul yall. Im grateful I found this place. read more

I wanted to try Caribbean food, so I decided to try this restaurant out. I ordered jollof rice, curry chicken, and collard greens--and they gave me jerk chicken as well. It was amazing!
