Also enjoyed their $5 burger special with a basket of their waffle fries. Also a $3 shot! They really do have some great daily specials! The Bad: The service! It started out fine but then our server seemed to forget about us. It was not busy but it took over 45 minutes for a burger. Another table that came in after us got their meal and paid and left before we even got our burgers. We asked to speak to the manager who was also the owner and he gave us 50% off, which is great but it was such a bad experience I'm not sure I will be back anytime soon, which sort of sucks cause their food is good and their specials too! Inside they have a mix of tables and booths as well as a patio area and bar. Garage doors were open when we visited due to the nice weather!

We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the oscillating fans that misted water. We did not enjoy the extremely LOUD music that was playing, even outside. It was a bit much. The food was good, bar service was good, and we MAY come here again. I think it needs a thorough clean up and maybe is more of a bar/club/nightlife type of feel- it has that icky, sticky sort of feeling to it. Just kinda rundown. The food was good though, so it kinda balanced out, I guess. I'll come back if a group of my friends are, but most likely not on my own.

We came in on a Friday to check out Beach Bella Za after hearing good things about it - we had a…read moregood experience and see a lot of potential as they continue to get settled. The food was solid and very reasonably priced. I ordered a half Caesar salad, which was fresh and enjoyable -- the croutons tasted homemade, and if they are, that's definitely a plus. We also shared a meat pizza, and the size was great for the price. It was missing pepperoni, but honestly that didn't bother me since I'm not a huge pepperoni fan. The space itself is clean and has a lot going for it, though it was very quiet when we first arrived. All the TVs were off and there was no music, which made it feel a bit empty at first. When music was eventually turned on, it was hard to hear over a Bluetooth speaker coming from the kitchen. A little background music and some ambiance would go a long way. Service-wise, our waitress was friendly, but we didn't see her very often and had to flag down the cook a few times through the kitchen window to get her attention. A bit more interaction on the floor would really elevate the experience. That said, I would absolutely return. I've heard great things about their garlic knots and wings and can't wait to try those next time. I'm also hoping they get their ABC license soon -- I think offering beer will help bring in more business and energy. I'd really like to see this place succeed and look forward to coming back.

I am annoyed with her attitude .... I ask for a watermelon shooter and she said "ok watermelon shot ,what's in it?" .......so I tell her 1/2 oz watermelon pucker 1/2 oz vodka and splash sprite .... She then looks at me and tells me she is a bartender and doesn't need to know the oz/pours .... I'm not even gonna stay here at this bar and entertain that disrespectful attitude.... at that point I realized that this woman is trash and just wants to treat people rudely bc she is upset with her life. So I got cash from ATM and left a 20 on the bar for my one yuengling logger .... Hopefully she has a better night with the tip I left bc she obviously needs money more than I do and with that attitude, you won't make money... don't go here... poor management!!

I thought It was going to be a small dive bar. Nope. The place was huge!!! A restaurant on 1 side and a bar on the other. There was a wall in between so it felt separate. The bar was PACKED! It was the football playoffs so it was probably busier than normal. Obviously they have plenty of tv's. Since we had just eaten we were not eating but I was determined to try something. The pizzas I saw looked amazing. But I decided on the Haloumi Appetizer....To Go. It was so much more than what I expected. It came with spring mix, olives, tomatoes and the pita. I brought it home and it was delicious!!! I love Greek Food so I cannot wait to go back, sit down and order all the food. They have something for everyone from Meatloaf and steamed shrimp and lasagna to reuben and french dip. But I want to try all the greek food. I am definitely going back. They also have a small arcade in the back for the kids. The place is huge! I will update when I return.

I started coming here again when hanging out in the Norfolk area, and boy, is the food delicious! Their pepperoni pizza is hands down my favorite style & type of pizza in the entire area. If I ever stop hanging out over here, I'll continue to come for the food. Their service is always great. The serves are quick & work together, so you won't wait long for something you request (like my extra cups of ranch). I will say the bar side is incredibly loud, so I refuse to sit over there, but the seating in the restaurant side is the same as it's always been since they opened. Not to most comfortable.

It's very modern yet with a classic vibe. Sorta steam punk esque if you will.

We also shared some Old Bay French fries which were very yummy. The service was great! The bartender was very knowledgeable about the drinks and was even able to offer substitutions for ingredients in the drinks. We stayed until the lights came on and the manager kindly told us it was time to go lol. Love the experience!
