    We loved it! It's easy to miss since it's connected to a laundry. The menu has both lunch and breakfast. I got the chicken tender sandwich. It was excellent. My husband loved the cheeseburger. I recommend getting the homemade fries. They cut the potato eland fry them up to order. Staff was friendly. Dining area is simple but clean. Will eat here again.

Everybody that was in there when we got there seems to know each other and we're all very friendly. As for the place: it's a little hole in the wall. That has several pool tables and I think five or six digital dartboards. Apparently a couple nights a week they have various special things going on. The night we went they were having a trivia contest about to begin. We didn't stay for that, but clearly there are locals that come here each week for this. As for the food: there were four of us this evening and each try something a little different. As for my wife and I, we had bacon cheeseburgers and she added an egg to hers. They were both very good. We really enjoyed them. They had a lot of flavor and were perfectly cooked. My one sister-in-law had a burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. She also liked it a lot. My other sister-in-law had the chicken quesadilla. She said it was OK. Not exactly sure what that meant by that. We also did buy some nachos for the table and I will say that they weren't the best. They looked good, but by the time they got to the table, they were already room temperature and they just didn't have a lot of flavor overall. But overall - we were happy. As for staff: all were very friendly. But I think they were almost too busy to serve us at our tables. Ortiz didn't get refilled, and it took us asking for our check to actually get it. Again, they were all very friendly, but I just think they were running around too much to properly serve the room. So overall, this little hole in the wall gave us some decent food. Again, some friendly staff, but clearly a little local joint for the neighborhood. But if I was in the area and wanted a good burger, pretty sure I would still stop in.

    When you visit a restaurant twice in one week for the first time you know it's legit…read more My bestie came from out of town this past Friday and we had a whole agenda and this restaurant was our last stop before dinner so basically we had an early appetizer if you will. We arrived about 4pm and the parking lot was kind of full but it still was a spot available for us. We walked in was greeted promptly and we had the option to sit inside or Dine Outdoors...knowing myself I love an outdoor adventure so outdoors we went... The Hostess mentioned they have a bridge that was open as well and I believe the bridge is open on Fridays and Saturdays if I'm not mistaken ... nevertheless we decided to dine on the bridge this past Friday. Omg so so so in love!! I can make this review probably about 2 pages long but I'll cut it short for you. Our super cute waitress Haley was the best... attentive informative personable a gem and made our first experience all the more amazing. We did ask for suggestions... she made suggestions for us... I ordered a cocktail and my bestie ordered a beer. My cocktail was just ok but he loved his beer of choice. We didn't want to order anything that was going to be heavy so we decided to split the Godfather Pizza and OMG it was so good so good. We knew we were returning before his departure. Here we are again Sunday during brunch hours and this time we invited another bestie it's a trio yes! We arrived about 2:00 p.m. and still decided to dine outdoors. I believe the bridge wasn't open for whatever reason on Sunday nevertheless we were able to sit on the patio. Our lovely waitress Katie was super as well. Haley and Katie kind of look like twins so I was like okay this experience will probably hit the same as Friday and needless to say it did. Katie was super awesome as well ...super attentive super patient I mean New River these two ladies are keepers and Katie shared with us that she's getting married soon so congratulations again pretty girl. Even though brunch was taking place you are still able to order pizza from the lunch / dinner menu. We ordered the Godfather again of course we ordered the chicken Parmesan pizza I forgot the name of that and the Hawaiian pizza all of them were good but my favorite on this go around was the chicken Parmesan pizza. I ate all of it even though we did share slices amongst us all the Godfather is definitely a close second. We tried the Mimosa flight it was okay I'm not a mimosa girl but the other two in my party they enjoyed it. I did have a glass of the Pinot Noir wine I'm definitely a red wine girl so the wine was right on time...right up my alley. We decided we love it here and when my bestie is visiting from Florida he already said this place is a must dine. And whoever was responsible for Designing the bathroom decor for the ladies very nice very nice. Have fun and enjoy life. :)

    Dropped in for a lunch and had no idea about serving size…read more I had the Cuban with tots. It was absolutely a full meal. Layers of pulled pork and ham had me in meat sweats. The Mrs got fish and chips. Again. A full meal indeed. They even whipped up some cocktail sauce that was so tasty.

We ordered 18 oysters, shrimp cocktail, and Brussels sprouts. Everything was excellent--the oysters and shrimp were fresh; however, the Brussels sprouts stole the show. Food was easily a 5/5 for us. The inside of the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. We sat outside, which is more plain and simple, but still quaint and comfortable. Service was professional and attentive, and everything came out quickly. The only thing that missed for us was the margarita. Compared to how good the food was, it just wasn't anything special. Overall, though, Hot Tuna was a great stop, and I'd definitely come back, especially for the happy hour and seafood.

This latest stop in Virginia Beach came after 32 hours of travel and almost no sleep. I walked in right as they opened, sat on the patio, and was taken care of immediately. Fans kept the air moving and the outdoor heat manageable. The meal was exactly what I expected; delicious, filling and satisfying; the service matched the quality I have counted on for decades. If you are in Virginia Beach and want a reliable place for a good meal and a drink, Hot Tuna still delivers.

The place inside is very cute and reminds me of a nice punk pop bar. The bar wraps around and there's some tables and a side table that we sat at to eat. I ordered one of their specialty coffees and it is quite the journey but I enjoyed it with the ginger beer and the coffee. My quiche was fluffy and delicious. It jiggled when I tapped it and the side salad tasted great with dill in it and it brightened up things. The combination of both was great. The crust on the quiche was nice as well. My spouse enjoyed their sandwich but didn't realize there was mustard so he ended up just using the chips to eat his egg and sausage. His egg was also fluffy. The patrons that came seemed friendly and you can tell who are locals since they greeted by name often. I love that this place is open. They also have local wine you can purchase. Next time we're back in town, we will visit again.

Before entering I noticed a Sign on the door warning about the delay due to short staffing in the kitchen. I appreciated the transparency and with no timing restrictions decided to proceed. The menu has a good variety of food and beverage options. They even have mocktails and can make any mimosa (flavor) non-alcoholic. For breakfast I opted for coffee (free refills), and the Chicken and Waffles, specifically the Life's a Peach option. Coffee was good, not too strong, not too weak! The meal was also good, think peach cobbler, with chicken. The waffle was thick and soft. The chicken was lightly seasoned and crispy. The peaches were on top of the chicken, but I think on top of the waffles would have been a better call (so I reconfigured things myself). Half way through eating I noticed the candied pecans were missing so I asked my waitress because I was interested in trying them with the dish. She noted that they didn't have them and haven't been able to get any for over a week. While I would have ordered the dish anyway, it would have been nice to be told upfront. Another downside of the meal was the third chicken tender was all batter, I didn't see a bit of meat in there. Check out the picture and let me know if you see it. Anyway, while the hostess - first interaction with the business - wasn't very warm, I found everyone else I interacted with to be very hospitable. I enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it.
