    The place was super lax and you can choose where you want to sit. The menu was pretty limited and the online photos and reviews are out of date. I was hoping to get fried shrimp but it no longer exists. I wanted to order a drink too but they told me their drink menu was outdated. The fried pickles were pretty spicy and when we got our entrees, they didn't bring us utensils until we requested it. They ran out of metal ones and came over with plastic utensils for the rest of the group. The bang bang shrimp bowl was pretty good but the tuna taco lacked flavor. Overall, the place was a let down.

    The food is excellent as always. Normally I order sandwiches, this time I ordered their BBQ Sandwich. Being originally from NC. We take pride in BBQ sauce. The western part of NC serves tomato based while the eastern shore part has vinegar based. Not to mention a friend of mine always invited me to a pig pickin'. He always told me the best part of a pig was from its rooter to its pooter! Yes, I laughed, but personally I wasn't very much into eating pig at that time in my life. But these days I adore the eastern vinegar based pulled bbq pig! This time I ordered their NC pulled bbq, I asked if it was vinegar based, but surprisingly they served it with a Virginia Beach bbq sauce called Virginia Gentlemen's. Very nicely done!

    Hubs has been here a few times but I joined last night. They had live music playing featuring 90s tunes and have several nights a week with live music. It's small and cozy inside but they have a large bar and open kitchen, clean restrooms, and a few high top and seated tables. A much larger menu than expected with some great items. Our friend ordered a hot honey chicken sandwich with fries, I chose a chicken ceasar wrap with potato salad and my husband had a cubano sandwich with fries. All were good and the potato salad was really delicious and house-made. They were pretty busy and nearly all tables and the spaces at the bar were filled up. Not bad for a Wednesday night. Service was friendly and we had a great time at this small locals gem. Would def come back.

    Absolute gem! Menu in the photos! Found this place while on vacation and absolutely loved everything about it from the atmosphere, to being able to watch our food be prepared, to the AMAZING food!! The staff was fantastic and they were so kind to my 4 year old and 10 year old too! I couldn't have asked for a better start to our vacation!

    I was very surprised by this place as it was just a convenient spot from the hotel we booked. While the food here may seem very basic, it was seasoned really well and everything was delicious. The service was pretty quick and the staff was very friendly and patient as my parents asked for certain changes. The decorations were more rustic but it fit with the food that they served. Overall a very good experience.

    Brett, the server and bartender, and Chad, the chef, are awesome. They made our experience WONDERFUL. They both have massive knowledge of food and drink. We tried beers that we have never tried before and they were perfect. If your not quite sure what you will like just get a sample. But both Brett and Chad explain flavors very well and I picked my Porter just from the description alone. I am always trying Lumpia where ever they make it. Shadowlawn is spectacular for the Lumpia and it comes with 2 different sauces. Chad said they make ALL of their own sauces and you can really tell the difference. It is perfection. One sauce is sweet and the other has a bit more of a vinegar bite. I loved them both and honestly can not decide what my favorite is. Got the Cuban and fries. The Cuban meat is so flavorful. NOT too salty. I have had them other places where they smother it is salt. This was delicate and the salt was in the pickle. Great fresh bread and just the right amount of crunch. The menu looks wonderful with a nice variety. My husband calls this place an upscale bar. We love the atmosphere and the music. Probably a bit loud for some people but we felt right at home. They have some really neat outside seating, Front and Back seating. I personally love the inside tables . The decor is a beach vibe. Really a nice clean restaurant and easy parking. We are looking forward to our next visit. Just saying that Brett and Chad are crushing it. I feel like we have been friends forever and they are both such foodiThey are my kind of people and I thank them for such a great visit . This is a must try place

    A wonderful treasure here! Definitely worthy of 5 stars, but I am taking away 1 because during our dining experience this past Saturday, my husbae was only able to order one cocktail. The Crown was out :( We checked with the server and was advised what the issue could have been. Nevertheless, I was able to have a few shots without worry. The service was on point and everyone seemed to work as a team. We actually had two servers. One young lady took our order...another server, a young man, placed our food order on the table. This same young man was helpful in helping me choose a wing flavor. I wanted something spicy. He suggested the buffalo, but I wanted to mix my sauces. He suggested the Asian BBQ and BBQ or something of that combination. I settled on it and asked for a simple salad. I am super simple when it comes to salads. I do not even need dressing. Lettuce, cucumber and cheese please, and thank you! This was not an issue... order up :) The wings were very good! My salad, no complaints. My husbae order the philly steak and he kept on raving how good it was after every bite. He has visited before and tried the chicken philly, but said 100% the philly steak was the best he has ever had! The atmosphere was cool and gave a hometown feel. We also seen a group of friends come in to dine in. These guys and maybe one girl, age range... under 13. But these guys felt at home and were well behaved. I believe they are regulars. I want to say I heard the server mention their order..."like always" - and the friends replied, yup. This was too cute! Definitely check out this locally owned spot if you are in the area. I believe they are planning to have a NYE party so that may be something to check out. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    We spent a day at the beach and wanted to have dinner at oceanfront before heading back home. I checked Yelp and came across this local spot. The have a parking lot with spaces so you don't have to find parking on the street or pay for the meter/parking deck which is a plus! We walked in and asked for a large table since there was a lot of us meeting up for dinner. No prob, they were able to put tables together upon arrival. The entire staff was so friendly once we walked in with everyone saying hello or coming to our table to see if we needed anything. The bartender came over and told us the specials and gave recommendations so we ordered a few drinks. To start we had the deviled eggs, it was good but I had to take the jalapeño off before my bite. My hubs ate the whole thing though and liked it. We also ordered the Cuban, Philly cheesesteak, wings and a kids burger as our entrees. The Cuban was good, hot and pressed to a nice crisp on the outside and all the flavors of a Cuban all came together nicely. The cheesesteak was more like a steak sandwich only cause we've had many cheesesteaks from Philly so I was thinking it would be like that. The wings were good and my son ate em all up. My daughter also enjoyed her kids meal burger. We were so stuffed that we didn't have enough room for their desserts. All in all great local spot to check out. I love the beachy vibes and the TV playing surf videos!! Check this spot out!

The drink menu options had some cool names for the speciality drinks. I tried their Aries SZN that was sweet and more on the tart side if you like that combo I would recommend it. Food options were endless with classic food to your going out food I did there girl dinner which comes with a Caesar Salad truffle fries with a Diet Coke or coke all for $25 that right there a perfect combo for something to have after or before night out or to just evening bite. Our server was excellent with telling us what options would be a good choice and he also mentioned if we had any allergy or allergies to anything to make sure it was prepared right which to me is always a good thing to be ask. My favorite part was the view of the garden it just added a sweet touch to while you are enjoying some good food and company and it the food was delicious and well prepared I will definitely recommend this if you are nearby the oceanfront I would come visit it and request for outdoor seating if you want to see the garden and take some pictures and lounge eat and drinks some good food that made fresh and prepared very good and drinks that are well crafted this the place to go to.

Barrel 17 did not disappoint; when i got there i realized quickly i was the last to know because it was busy. We had about a 10 minute wait to be seated but that was cut short by option to sit at the bar. The bartender was working like she had six arms. It was non stop; attentive, taking orders, making drinks, checking back with others, she was truly impressive. The places was jumping; it was busy, casual and didn't slow down from the time we arrived until we left. Parking is challenging, there's a small lot beside the restaurant and a small lot behind it so if you can car pool you'll benefit yourselves. Now on to the star of the show - the food! The only knock I had was portion size. In a big guy with an even bigger appetite and when i left there i could've eaten my whole meal over again lol. But that's also because it was delicious. I got the mac n cheese starter, the Beast Burger, tater tots , and the biggest slice of chocolate cake I've ever had. Literally the biggest slice of cake ever- twice the size of my burger. Everything was delicious, from start to finish and if i were a person that had a normal appetite i would've left full like my friends did. Will definitely be back!

Everything was good, though our other table ended up being ready way faster than expected, so we had to take most of it to go. One small PSA: the menu calls them "jumbo" quail eggs, but quail eggs are tiny creatures of nature to begin with, so don't walk in expecting chicken egg-sized deviled eggs.
