    Simply George is a great spot if you are craving a delicious burger! I ordered the Madurito V8. It was amazing! The owner is Venezuelan so the food also has Hispanic ingredients too, like the sweet plantains which I LOVE. The atmosphere is inviting and our waitress was delightful. Definitely would recommend.

    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.

    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

    Simply George Burger Joint is located in the Kempsriver Crossing Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. Since they are in a shopping center, they were pretty easy to find. Although this shopping center tends to be on the busier side, there were no issues with parking for any of the visits I have made there. My most recent visit here was on March 23, 2026. From the outside, it can be hard to spot them at first with the sign colors similar to businesses around them. The full name is Simply George Burger Joint. The overall view outside lines up with how the rest of the shopping center looks like. I found out looking at the info on the windows outside the business that they are part of the La Oficina Steakhouse & Cantina and Maracaibo Bistro Venezuelan Kitchen & Cocktails. I'm always up for trying something new, and that's why I came in for my first visit on February 13, 2026. When I came inside, it gave me the feel of travel and such with Route 66, cars, etc.. It's a small place inside, but that can be a good thing too. The tables are set up with booth type seating on one side of the table and rolling chairs on the other side of the table. There is a story about this business on the wall to the right after entering. On this first visit, I saw that it was showing they opened at 4 pm, but they actually opened at 11 am. I let them know about that too so it can get updated. They do serve alcohol here, and they have beers, wine, cocktails, and a house liquor. My mom was with me on this visit, and we could choose any table we wanted. Menus were already available on the tables that weren't occupied, and as soon as we got seated and settled, our server came over asking what we wanted to drink. I went with my usual, which is water with lemon. They have Coca Cola products here, so my mom had a Coca Cola soda. It took us a bit of time to choose what we wanted. I ordered first, and then my mom ended up ordering the same thing I did. I decided to go with The Camaro Burger with pepper jack cheese, which is a double beef patty with bacon, F1 sauce, and cheese choice. We both ordered Fries from the Extras menu. I watched as they were getting the food together, as they have an open kitchen for viewing. It didn't take long for everything to be ready. Although everything basically just fit into their plates, the burger was full of flavor. I really liked that F1 sauce on it, so I added more as they are at the tables too with the other condiments. Overall, this was an excellent first visit. Fast forward a little more than a month later when we came back on March 23, 2026. We came in a little after 3:30 pm, so it wasn't too busy, but since things were so good the first time we had to come back. They have a pretty small staff, so we had the same server as we did on our first visit. We both got the same drinks we did the month before. When it came to food, I wanted to try something other than fries. This time I ordered the Impalaquenos (Venezuelan Cheese Sticks). The Impalaquenos were really good. The sauce that went with it complemented it well. That sauce was a Garlic and Cilantro Sauce. I changed up the burger I would get this time. I went with The Malibu Classic Burger, which includes double beef patty, lettuce, tomato, F1 sauce, and cheese of choice (pepper jack cheese for me). Although it was extra, I did add bacon and onion to it. My mom went with The Camaro Burger again, but she did add onion to it as well. It was nice to watch as they were getting the food together. Everything came out hot and they were just as good as the time before. Since it wasn't too busy at the time, I asked some questions about the business. The business came about after winning the 2025 COVA Battle of the Burgers. I also asked about the F1 Sauce that is so good. The F1 Sauce is made from pickles, onion, ketchup, mayo and garlic. Overall, these have both been excellent visits here. The food and service were on point both times. If you pay by a credit or debit card, there is a 3.5% admin fee to cover their cost for using such card. Although the menu is small, there's still a good amount of flavors to choose from. I know some will say costs are high, but everything is these days. These burgers were worth it for us. If you're in this area of VIrginia Beach and looking for a burger place to check out, this place is definitely worth it.

    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.

    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.

    Fries

    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!

The food and service were great as usual. I had Fish & Chips. The Fish was cooked perfectly and served with the right amount of fries. After looking at the Dessert Menu, I couldn't resist the Guinness Brownie Sundae. Guinness Stout brownie topped with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream & toasted almonds. Oh my goodness it was amazing and the perfect ending to a great dinner. Thanks Park Lane for a very enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back.

We returned a second time and super busy on a Tuesday same time-why? Fish and Chips Thursday (1/2 price). Not too long of a wait though -1/2 hour and went fast as we had a drink at the Bar. We tried a couple of appetizers-goat cheese dip and fire cracker shrimp-both tasty. The Bacon stuffed Gouda burger was ordered on both visits -Ground Chuck/Proper Tavern Burger and it was that good! Fish and Chips were also ordered both visits-perfectly battered Haddock living up to the Tavern billing. The Tavern Monte Cristo is one to try. Battered and fried sandwich is never a bad idea-we loved it! We had a mix of draft beers (import)-they had Carlsberg (Danish) which isn't easy to find as well we had a Scottish Ale. Overall, an ample import draft list. Service was super engaged and upbeat from beginning to end on both visits. They are a Futbol Tavern and they mentioned they do get quite busy and have an even more of a fun atmosphere during the season-too bad we only visit during the Futbol off season-summer. We saw banners for Oktoberfest celebrations. Specials Monday-Thursday including Whiskey, wine and Wellington! Also, have a couple of sister locations in Hampton and Fredericksburg. Most definitely has been added to our must stops when visiting the Beach!

There's always something different going on, which keeps things interesting and gives me a reason to keep coming back. I also really like that they serve wine too, so there's something for everyone depending on what you're in the mood for. Service has never been an issue for me. It's always been fast and efficient, even when they're busy. My biggest complaint is honestly the crowds. A lot of times it gets really crowded, and there isn't enough parking, so you end up having to park across the street. The problem is that there's no traffic light there, which makes crossing the street pretty stressful when traffic is heavy. The left turn out of the place can also be frustrating because it's on such a busy road. It can cause traffic to back up, and I've seen some pretty questionable situations with cars trying to get in and out. And once it gets crowded, seating becomes another issue. There simply isn't enough seating for the number of people who show up. Obviously, it's a great problem for the business to have, but not necessarily a great experience for customers. Overall, I really enjoy coming here for the events, food trucks, seasonal brews, and wine. I just wish the parking, traffic, and seating situation were better because those things can definitely take away from an otherwise great experience.

    Sloppy Seconds Bar & Grill is located along Holland Rd. and is near the Holland Plaza Shopping…read moreCenter in Virginia Beach. 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.
