    Love this place. Looks very cute with all its decor and motif of old license plates, automotive oil canisters, etc. the seats are inviting as there are cushioned settees (great to rest your baby carriers even when there aren't a high chairs). They have the daily lunch special with their burger, soda and fries for $10.99. You can have your choice of toppings for extra but it comes with lettuce(thinly sliced) tomato, pickles and caramelized onions (although the onions weren't even sautéed). The burger is fresh and well seasoned, didn't even need to add their special sauce.setvice was quick and friendly.

    Hot, crispy and delicious fries

    Visited this restaurant on a Friday evening around 6 PM. Walked in and was able to pick any table. We wanted to sit at. The restaurant is car themed and the stools are mechanic stools. There is a limited menu but all items on the menu are absolutely delicious. When we walked in, we were the only customers but by the time we left, there were five other tables still. We highly recommend if you want a good burger to try this place house. The only tip that I recommend is that the burgers are à la cart and if you would like a side, you have to order that separately.

    I can definitely see why this place was highly rated in the newspaper! My mom had suggested we visit this place prior to the Christmas Village and what a great idea that was! We ordered- The Caramelized : Onions made to perfection and weren't skimp might I add! The layers of thinly smashed burgers were perfect. The Mustang : Topping every bite with the F1 sauce did triple platinum in my books! I added muenster cheese and it was delicious! Overall definitely recommend trying out this place. The welcoming atmosphere and cozy seating made for a nice dinner with family

    We were on the hunt for a good burger and well, we found one! Walking in felt like a diner which made me nostalgic. I love the theming, right down to the craftsman stools at the tables. My husband and I both ordered the camero burger, we had our choice of cheese. Fries are extra so we ordered just 1. My daughter ordered the mini Cooper burger and her own fries ( with added cheese!). We were also surprised they offer drinks! We took advantage of that for sure. I ordered the lemon drop....sooooo good! And my husband ordered an old fashioned and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Service was quickly, food was fantastic and the vibes were perfect after a long work week. I'm so glad we checked it out and we will definitely be back! I mean, i have to get my mother in laws opinion, burgers are her favorite!!

    Small (but immaculate!) hole in the wall burger joint in the Kemps River Shopping center in VB. The good folks here also run Maracaibo bistro and La Oficina Steakhouses. We first tried their burger at this past summer's Battle of the Burgers competition, and were blown away by their flavors. So happy they decided to take it a step further and open a brick-and-mortar spot to showcase their burger expertise. We could use bigger plates (you'll see that the burgers are served on plates in the smaller side), but that in no way detracts from the taste. Can't wait to return for more.

    The place is car themed, which is neat. The service was great and the food itself was fantastic. I got the Camaro Burger, which is a more basic burger, but it really let the flavors shine. I highly recommend this place. It seems to not be too busy, so please help support this local buisness!

Located just to the right as you enter kemps River Shopping Center from Kempsville Road. We were immediately seated. Our server took our drink orders and left us to look at the menu. Our drinks were served quickly. My Friend had a Martini and I had a glass of Red Moscato. Their menu had something for everyone. Once I saw Corned Beef & Cabbage I did not need to look any further. I love corned Beef & Cabbage. Theirs was perfect. Served with whipped potatoes and whole carrots. I asked our server if the potatoes could be substituted for a double order of cabbage the next time and she said she was sure it could but may have a little extra charge. My Friend chose Jagerschnitzel. A German dish consisting of hand-flattened, fried pork loin, topped with onion and mushroom gravy. It was served with kraut, warm potato salad and green beans. She seemed pleased with her choice. Park Lane gives a welcoming vibe that makes me think of the old TV show Cheers. The kind of place that makes you feel like everyone knows your name. Sit at the bar, a high top table near the bar and watch The Big Game or take a seat on the other end of the restaurant and have a Family dinner or maybe a table for two. Park Lane Tavern is a perfect choice.

The brewery is a restored 1912 farmhouse sitting on acres of open land, with plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables, and fire pits scattered around. There's always something happening here. Food trucks daily, beer trucks, and yard games like cornhole and bocce ball keep things fun/ The space is super dog-friendly and great for groups or families. I came this day with my friend and her kids and they had a blast playing with all the other kids outside. When it comes to drinks, they do not disappoint. They brew both beer and cider, and the variety means there's something for everyone. My seasonal favorite is the Witch of Pungo Pumpkin Ale. It's smooth, balanced, and packed with just the right amount of fall flavor. Enjoying one of those by the fire pits as the sun goes down is about as perfect as it gets. The bartender was super kind, letting me sample a few different beers before choosing. Whether you're meeting up with friends, bringing the family, or just want to unwind outdoors with a good drink, this spot hits the mark every time.

The next night, I didn't want to spend lollygagging in front of the TV at the Hilton, so I popped over to Voodoo again to cheers the end of a long, Yelpy work trip with another glass of that dreammmmy cream soda.

Our server was Nathan and he was friendly and accommodating!! I like the amount of happy hour options compared to some other restaurants with just a few. We got burger sliders with fries, calamari, poke nachos, and chicken lettuce wraps. The calamari was ok but it was some very tough ones to chew and the portion was small. The tartar sauce that came with it was good and a little spicy. The poke nachos were decent, but I'm not a raw girly to often, so I'd definitely ask if it could be seared. I put it in the air fryer at home, and it was pretty good. My daughter enjoyed it!! The lettuce wraps were just ok, the chicken was kinda rubbery and chewy. The wonton shell was delicious though and the sauce was good. My sliders were supposed to be all the way with lettuce, tomato, onions, and secret sauce. But when they came to the table they were plain with no sauce. I started to eat and about 5 minutes later the food runner brought my correct order. They said they gave me the table next to ours food. So the waiter came back to take it back, and I asked if they'd throw it away? He said yes! Which kinda bothered me. I asked since it was going in the garbage and it wasn't my mistake, could I keep it. He said the manager wouldn't allow it. With inflation why would the manager rather trash perfectly good food? It makes me nervous when restaurants take food back. If it's sat down on a table it shouldn't be returned, just take the loss, because how do I know your not going to replace it and serve it to someone else. I'm not a fan of that!! I'm not accusing them of doing that, but that's the thoughts that run through my mind in situations like that. The table was spacious at the booths and it was clean inside. There's street and garage parking. We went on a good day when it wasn't a wait for a table. The hostess was very nice. She was cheerful and engaging! I'd go back to try other happy hour dishes. Check them out!!

They are just south of where Holland Rd. merges into Independence Blvd. My most recent visit here was on April 23, 2026. From the outside of the business, it does stand out a bit with the large name above the entrance. You can definitely see it if you look from Holland Rd. I had seen it too when traveling down that road, but I finally came in for the first time on March 10, 2026 after leaving the Voter Registrar's Office not too far from there. Upon entering, it wasn't too busy yet, but it was a little before 4 pm, so it was still early for the evening dinner rush. The inside of the place definitely has the bar scene vibe with the bar area and televisions showing sports there, with closed captioning on. One of the bartenders said we could find a spot to be seated. My mom and I went to one of the booths available. It was just seconds later that our server came over, welcomed us here, bringing menus over, and introduced herself. The first question is always asking about what to drink. I continue to go with my usual, which is water with lemons, while my mom got Coke. After having some time to look over the menu, when we got our drinks, my mom and I were both ready to order. I decided to go with the Sloppy Joe Samich with Onion Rings as the side item, but subbing Pepper Jack Cheese instead of American Cheese. My mom decided to do an appetizer as the main course, which was the Loaded Nachos Half Size Portion. A little less than 10 minutes later, our food orders came to the table, and they looked really good, and when we went to try it out, they were definitely hot too. The Sloppy Joe Samich ended up being really good and hit the spot for me. The onion rings were good too, and were a bit of an indulgence for me. My mom really liked the Loaded Nachos and that had good flavor to it as well. Our server also told us about various specials they have through the week, so this would warrant future visits for us too. The next few visits would be on Thursdays, as they have a $7 Burger Night Special beginning at 5 pm. For those next visits (including the most recent one, except for the April 6 visit), I would end up getting the Bacon Cheeseburger With Fries (additional cost to change the side item for specials). My mom also did a few types of burgers on these visits, one being the Cowboy Burger. Every time, the burgers came out as expected and hot. The fries were really good too, as I usually do pepper on them instead of salt. There was one additional visit on April 6th, which was a Monday. We came in that day for the Fried Shrimp Basket Special. That one comes with Fried Shrimp and Fries, and is available all day. The shrimp were really good and filling too. Overall, the food, service, atmosphere, and specials have been great here. I really feel like they are a hidden gem. When it comes to sodas, they did carry Coke products, but as of the middle of April 2026, they are now serving Pepsi products. I want to note that there is a 3% order processing fee, likely for anyone paying by a card instead of cash. Even when I have been there at busier times, parking was never an issue. It feels like a family atmosphere too. On the most recent visit, they even stated that they notice us as regulars here now. If you're looking for a different place that serves more than just burgers, this place is worth checking out, as I have not seen a place around yet that has the Sloppy Joe type samich.
