    Large veggie tray

    I used Pollards catering for my daughter's graduation party. I ordered the large fruit tray, large vegetable tray and large cheese tidbit tray. The trays were beautiful and all the fruit and veggies were great quality and ripeness! Will definitely use again!

    This place is a Virginia Beach institution, apparently. I stopped in with my mom and we got chicken fingers dinners, collard greens, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and they came with hush puppy puffs. Them puffs was bangin'! The chicken was delicious, as was the mashed potatoes. Don't get the mac & cheese. The pasta is overcooked and the cheese isn't real. Shame. The collards are okay, but when you've had mine, none measure up. Pollard's is more on the vinegar-y side and chopped really small. I prefer bigger pieces of collards and a bit on the sweet side. Service was excellent. They like if you call your order in ahead of time, because they stay busy. Lots of people take their food to go. The decor is nothing to write home about, but it's clean. They also have a pie case that put 5 pounds on me just by looking at it. Go. You'll enjoy it.

    Chicken comes hot and crispy. Prices are reasonable considering the times. Hot sauce on all the tables. Staff is usually upbeat and helpful.

    My #1 go to for NC Pork BBQ. Not much to look at on the outside, but ask yourself why the parking lot is away full with locals.

You would never suspect the great atmosphere of this venue from the location. But the charm of the place really isn't the story. This is the kind of place that offers a gastro pub menu and they do not disappoint with a familiar yet unique menu offering some truly great dishes and perhaps the best burgers in VB. Definitely coming back.

    We came here for Valentine's Day with a reservation for three (2 adults and a child). We were…read moregreeted warmly and seated right away, which was impressive given how busy it was. Our first table ended up being under a spotlight that was directly in our line of sight (it looked like it was meant for the specials board), so we asked to move. Staff was accommodating and got us to a better table quickly. The space itself is really nice. It was clean, rustically decorated, and the live plants in liquor bottles on the tables are a nice touch. Our server was friendly from the start and took drink orders right away. My daughter and I had sodas, and my husband ordered the Southern Charm Old Fashioned off the specials menu, which he enjoyed. The menu is on the smaller side, which we actually like. One unique detail was the option to "buy a round for the kitchen," which we thought was a really nice touch and decided to add it when we ordered our appetizer. We started with the fried deviled eggs after a friend recommended them. They were creative with three styles (classic with pickle, togarashi ginger, and crispy prosciutto), but overall a bit on the dry side and not as flavorful as we expected. We asked for Dijon, but they don't have it. Our server suggested and brought out the Baja dipping sauce instead, which did pair well and kind of improved them. My husband had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. He said the fish was flaky and well cooked. I ordered the Union grilled cheese, which unfortunately seemed like it had been sitting a bit before being served, as the bottom was soggy. It was just okay overall and not particularly memorable for the price. The sweet potato fries on the side were the clear standout. They were crispy, the perfect balance of sweet and salty and honestly the best part of the dish. Our daughter had the kid's smashburger. It was exactly that. Service throughout the meal was good. She was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and there when needed. The main disappointment came at the end. When our meals were served, the server actually offered sauces at the table (ketchup, mayo, ranch, etc.), and specifically suggested items like the baja sauce for the eggs and ranch to us. Because of that, we were surprised to see several charges for the sauces on the bill, especially since they were offered and recommended at the table with no mention of any additional cost. We were also charged a credit card fee, with no signage anywhere (entrance, hostess stand, or menu) indicating that paying with a card would include an extra charge. It just left an unnecessary sour note on an otherwise solid, casual meal. Nothing was bad, and nothing really stood out as exceptional, but the lack of transparency around those final charges really impacted the overall experience for us.

We fell in love with the place before even getting the food. Which, we got way too much of because the portions are huge. We always try to sample a bit of everything so we had plenty to take home. We had the hot snow onion drumsticks, soy garlic tenders and red pepper gizzards. The gizzards were mostly for me as I enjoy the texture. My kid and wife are not fans lol. The spice level on the red pepper sauce was there but not overwhelming. But the chicken, oh my lord the chicken. The snow onion was an experience I've never had with chicken before. We've had Korean style fried chicken many many times but never like this. I'm not even sure how to describe the flavor. Savory with the sweetness of a good Vidalia onion and a hint of heat. Perfection. The drumsticks were super crispy and super juicy. The soy garlic tenders were also very good. Strong garlic flavor with the umami of the soy glaze. We were also recommended by the nice lady that they just started doing fried rice so we tried it as well. It also did not disappoint. Very flavorful but the kid ate most of it and they're picky. Seriously though I can't recommend this place enough. Please go support this awesome little family. If we're ever in the area again, we will for sure stop back in.

    Food and service is excellent! The owners are so kind and friendly. I'm looking forward to our next…read morevisit

Affectionately called Tiki Time, this menu boasted 99 cent clams, 1.59 oysters, 1.49 wings and other specials. While here I had the following: Clams: little necks. Delicious, briny and fresh. Oysters: a little on the small side. Flavor was mild. Seemed a little bland. Wings: double smoked. Deliciously prepared. I tore these up! Steamed shrimp: over done, bland and dry. I wasn't understanding how when they were sitting in a little steamer juice. That's how I knew they were over prepared. Crab dip: creamy and delish. Loved the toasted pita bread with this. To wash all this down I had a cherry limeade drink. So good you can't even taste the alcohol. Overall the vibe was laid back. Atmosphere is crab shack. Service was fast and courteous. Would definitely stop in again. Pricing was fantastic.

You get anything from .99 cent clams and 1.59 oysters, wings are 1.49 and 1/2 lb steamed shrimp for 9.99. Their burgers and other food is really good as well. We also love the crab dip too. Service was fast and efficient. The waitstaff are really friendly too Big Sam's is a family friendly restaurant, that is cozy overlooking the Rudee inlet. So if you're looking for a chill restaurant with great seafood, Big Sam's is your place.
