    The tots that we got with our burger. I'm not expecting a whole basket, but ordered two and they split it in half.
    Vanessa Y.

    came here because it was highly recommended. Food wasn't bad, but it is like they counted the tots before Serving. $11 dollars for a burger patty, because they don't have them on the kids menu. Paying almost $70 doesn't justify what we got.

    Heide is inly at her third day, but her handled everything like a Vet. The two ladies next to me recommended the burger and it did not disappoint. With a side of fries and a selection from the bar my dinner at this unexpected spot was a hit out of the park! If there was a picture of the perfect "hole in the wall", Monk's would be it!!

    Pimento Cheese and Bacon 1/2 pound burger or what's left of it lol

    Found this nice hole in the wall by chance. Walked in and was greeted by a bunch of friendly folks. I had a beer and the pimento 1/2 pound cheese burger with Bacon and it really hit the spot. If you're looking for good food fast, a cold beer and friendly people then this is a great spot!! I ate half my burger before I remembered to take a picture but here is what's left of it lol.

    Cheap. No frills. Delicious! This is totally a biker bar vibe. It was a warm-ish Sunday and several bikers were out enjoying the weather. Most seemed to be regulars here. It was a upbeat, friendly atmosphere. This spot is cash only, but don't worry about not having enough, everything here is reasonable priced. We got two burgers, two drinks, onion rings, gizzards, and fried okra and I think it was still under $35 (don't forget to tip though) and entirely too much food for just two people. We had leftovers ready for the air fryer. The burger wasn't anything fancy. They didn't have dozens of crazy options. Just the burger, gooey cheese, and they basics. The bun was toasted and it was delicious! There is lots of outdoor seating which was perfect for social distancing and bringing the pup to enjoy the experience. The staff were all in masks, I felt comfortable the whole time and look forward to returning next time I want a quick meal in that part of VB!

    Cash only! Food was great. Keep in this mind, this is a bar; not a fancy sit down restaurant. Back woods on the VA-NC border where you can order fried gizzards and livers (unfortunately out of stock during my visit). Staff was friendly sly and welcoming. They had a NFL game on. All I needed was to thaw out from my ride, recharge, and refill the belly. Mission accomplished. I recommend the BBQ sandwhich and fried okra.

    This place is not for everyone. I would not bring my mother. But I like it. Small, casual atmosphere, bikers, babies, dogs, families.....you never know who you will see. 3 or 4 booths, a couple of tables and some bar seating. The music was loud and that's just part of the atmosphere. Since it was raining it was a nice touch that someone held the door open for us. We sat at a booth. 2 beers. I got a small Cheeseburger and she got a fried bologna sandwich. The menu is small and basic. But you can get okra and fried gizzards. Don't always see that on menus. The burger was delicious and I loved the crispy crinkle cut fries. They came out unseasoned so add that salt. Definitely worth a stop if you are driving by. I believe when you are done you go up to the register to pay. Don't sit and wait for a check. CASH only!!

    Great place to eat.

    Great food, service and atmosphere! The burgers and fries are awesome, as is the BBQ. A not to be missed place.

    Large and medium burgers-

    Kept reading about Pungo and this small place. It is a tiny place where hikers stop to rest. Burgers were delicious! Service was great-too! It was well worth the nice drive!

    Awesome out of the way spot to avoid the crowds. Grace our server was the epitome of southern hospitality. Alex prepared some awesome food. I'd highly recommend the monk burger as well as the fried mushrooms and jalapeno poppers. This place DESERVES your business!!!!

It was a beautiful evening. Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.

    All my years living in Chesapeake and I had never heard of Studly Brewing but I'm so glad that I…read morefinally did. I got a chance to visit the baseball themed, Studly last week and enjoyed everything there. Although Im a novice when it comes to beers, I do know that local brewery that brews all of their beers on site is quite impressive. Upon sitting at the bar and openly admitting that I no clue what wanted or would like, the owner took his time to ask me questions and give me a lesson on beers and flavors and made some great suggestions. I ended up trying the Nana Ball Hefeweizen. A German style been. Not being a beer drinker, I enjoyed it. The food , ohhh the food. I may not know beer, I do know a good slice when I have one. Didn't try a pizza that I didn't love. My favorite was the 4 corner pan pizzas (that will be added to the menu soon) and the Fig and prosciutto. Must try!! Fresh ingredients, great flavors.

    We've been planning to meet our friends for dinner at Studly Brewing for a few weeks now,…read moreespecially since we live in Chesapeake. We finally made it happen this evening! On Wednesdays they have Pub Quiz at 6:30 PM & 7:30 PM and it's free to play the trivia game. Although it was quite loud during the Pub Quiz game, we still enjoyed our dinner catching up with our good friends. It was my first visit to Studly and I've heard good reviews. Studly Brewing is a spacious, family friendly restaurant and brewery that offers a wonderfully casual, bright, and fun vibe with its exciting baseball themed decor that easily brings a smile to everyone's face. The servers were friendly and welcoming. We decided to try the Full Count Nachos from the Spring Menu, and the Figley Field wood-fired pizza looked appetizing. Our food order came out pretty quickly. OH MY! The freshness of the Figley Field pizza and the tasty combination of its ingredients (fig spread topped with bacon crumbles, prosciutto, red onion, goat cheese crumble, and mozzarella on house-made dough where the pizza is finished with fresh arugula on top) made it my new favorite! And I also enjoyed the Hazy IPA that our server Taylor said was her favorite. Looking forward to stopping into Studly Brewing again very soon! I know I'm sure to find a few more new favorites on their menu.
