Food and service is amazing. The place is small inside, and outdoor seating is weather dependent. The Food is fresh and generous portions. The flounder is AMAZING and one of the best burgers in the area. The owners Tanya and Jeff are amazing and they personal will reach out to all tables to say hello. They are amazing!! Highly recommend. The weather this week is perfect for their outdoor seating!

New York Strip with the best slaw (really) and potatoes and a side of hush puppies.

Unbelievable! Awesome! The food is 5-star. New menu and they deliver excellence. Service was great and the day was perfect.

My husband and I came here for lunch. I liked that it is a family owned business. I like supporting locally owned businesses. We were seated pretty quickly. Even though they were busy we did not have to wait long for service. My husband got a grilled chicken sandwich and I got the fried shrimp. I really enjoyed my shrimp! We sat inside with a view of the boardwalk.

Steak Bites

If you're in Virginia Beach looking for a nice place to have dinner, I recommend checking out Sea Salt Grill located in The Capes Hotel. With outdoor seating overlooking the ocean, and viewing of beach goers and families walking along the boardwalk this was very easy to relax at. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome. The Pungo Punch was delicious and refreshing, I was convinced to have two. For an appetizer, the steak bites were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a horseradish sauce for dipping on the side. Finally for my main entree, I got the fish of the day which was a large piece of flounder, fried and served with tarter sauce, French fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. This restaurant has good food at a great price that is slightly cheaper than other restaurants along the boardwalk.

Fish sandwich
Keenan T.

It is a small restaurant attached on one end to the hotel's pool and on the other end to the boardwalk. The crab cake burger was quite fresh and served with potato salad. The fish was lightly breaded with crispy fries.

Mahi fish and chips
Eric N.

The grilled medium rare Ahi was great. The Mahi fish and chips was dry, crumbly and inedible. Crab cake appetizer was good. The coleslaw sides were fermenting and tasted like garbage. The ketchup has been recycled enough times that it tastes very stale. The waitress was nice and attentive. There's a lot of nice seafood restaurants in the area. This one is mediocre at best.

We came on a Tuesday around 6:30 for dinner. Service was awesome! Our server was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. We both had an old fashioned and I got mine "burlesque " style while my husband opted for a standard one. Both were delicious and done very well. We both also had the Huntsman, which was good but not like WHOA. Overall it felt kind of plain and the meat wasn't super flavorful. The fries were also just pretty good. Glad I got the truffle parm on top, otherwise those also would just have been kind of plain. I would go back again and try something else. Definitely one of the better burgers I have had in VB and surrounding area.

I ordered the Black and Blue burger with sweet potatoes waffle fried, and my son ordered a bacon cheeseburger with regular fries. I got my burger with a little pink, and it was cooked to perfection! Sometimes I am hesitant to get pink because it's been to raw. The burger was not only cooked to perfection, I really loved the bleu cheese sauce and grilled onions. The waffle fries with the cinnamon/brown sugar sauce were great as well. My son also really enjoyed his burger, but he did say his fries tasted like shrimp. I tasted them, and they didn't taste like shrimp but they did have a distinct taste. I can't really describe it, but I didn't like it. Otherwise we had a great visit, one of the best burgers I've had, and really good, quick service! I am sure we were in and out in under an hour with everything still being super fresh!

They're always busy, and after trying their food, I can definitely see why! If you're from the West Coast and find yourself craving In-N-Out, this place is pretty close, but dare I say, even better! They have their Goodboy Sauce, which reminds me of In-N-Out's signature sauce, and their smash burgers are just so good. I've had the Oklahoma twice now, and it's absolute perfection. The only small downside is that the fries are a little on the salty side, and the service is decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd keep coming back to for a good smash burger. If you're an In-N-Out fan, you need to give this place a try! Also they're open pretty late at night, which is a huge plus!

The potato bun was soft and warm but didn't fall apart during the eat. Interestingly, I didn't like the grilled onions on the FP style fries. The Worcestershire sauce was just a bit too much. It didn't ruin the fries, though, which were still good. The pineapple cider was a nice crisp, sharp sip that complemented the meal well. The service (slow) and seating (meh) could do a little better, but I enjoyed my meal nonetheless.

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.

Both were very pleasant. I ordered the original charburger, no pickles or lettuce and some sweet potato fries. I like that they have a few side options besides just fries. They also have fried green beans and onion rings! I didn't wait long for my food at all and everything was very fresh! Although they gave us one of the tokens that vibrate when your order is ready, Edgar was already bringing my food to me when the token went off. Both times I have been in, the restaurant was very clean and smelled fresh compared to other fast food places. Even the condiment and drink areas are kept clean and well stocked. I really like that their bathrooms are "all gender!" The option to check out with a cashier or using their self-checkout kiosk is nice too. I have had Habit's burgers, chicken sandwich, and salad along with all of their side options, and I think they have a good thing going. If you're looking for quality food, a clean establishment, and good service without going into a traditional sit down restaurant, Habit is a good place to visit! They definitely beat out McDonalds, Wendy's, and BK for sure in quality, cleanliness, and service!

I recommend having quality control and firing your inconpetent employees and hiring better ones that are properly trained.

Ladies if you look good he might let you slide on free items (I've seen it myself) but fellas he's gonna hassle you even for sour cream if you don't tip him enough to his satisfaction and then complain to your face about it if you're a regular. To those that care: The specific incident that caused my review was I had went in on a tuesday for their "taco Tuesday" special. Now because I work by the oceanfront I frequent this place. I've been told they aren't supposed to let you walk out with to go orders on their taco Tuesday, but if I pay for and eat some of my food who is this manager to say I can't leave with a to go box(which in most cases I have), but I digress. I tried to do it today and the manager comes to me with a nasty attitude over me not tipping enough for his standards telling me I can't take my food to go because he doesn't feel I tip enough and "what's a 5 dollar tip gonna do for him". Keep in mind I told him I'm not ordering food for just myself I sometimes take lunch orders from work which is never more than 5 to go small tacos. I've never been rude to this man I'm a quiet person so I usually order wait and leave. I work for a reputable company that sees a lot of tourism and I often recommended this spot to our guests but due to this situation I will be advising people to avoid this place if you're not just going to drink at the end of the night on The Weekend. In the specific event the owner of the restaurant was there and confirmed they weren't supposed to be doing to go tacos which I can respect. What I dont respect is the manager picking and choosing when he wants to follow the rules of the establishment for his own gain.
