Service is a bit casual. Food was great. I got the classic pulled pork and NO slaw. Plenty of meat and pretty good flavor. You must add sauce for the best flavor. I didn't take a picture. I was too hungry and ate my food and forgot the picture read more

The beef ribs are really good here! I've had lots of beef ribs from lots of places but this restaurant in Virginia Beach is hands some of the best I've had in all of Virginia. Sides are very generous, meat is really good, and surprisingly the fried chicken sandwich was very good, now that I think about it, it reminded me of the shake shack chicken sandwich. Everytime we come here we get the beef ribs, highly recommend over anything else! French fries are hand cut and I absolutely LOVED the onion rings as well. Anytime we make a trip to Virginia Beach from northern va we always make sure to stop by here read more

Greeted as soon as we walked in. Good menu choices and each of the three of us enjoyed our choices. Baby back ribs fell off the bone - with good flavor, not needing any more sauce (which was served on the side and very tasty. Decor is very simple and that was fine with us. read more

My family and I came here on September 22nd after leaving from Virginia Beach. We had a taste for some BBQ and heard this was the best in the area. I had order the BBQ sandwich platter with mac and cheese and collard greens. My fiancé order the brisket platter with potato salad and beans. Finally my stepdaughter order the brisket mac and cheese. We all tried everyone's meals to get an idea of the different offers. All of the sides were definitely amazing and worth having again. However, the meats from all our meals were dry and definitely required some sauce (they had flavorful ones but don't always like putting sauce on my BBQ) The brisket is not a fatty one and is trimmed of all the fat (per on of the employees) so doesnt have a lot of flavor which definitely didn't help the mac and cheese. Overall, it was definitely worth the experience coming and had GREAT, friendly employees who seem to be well loved in the community. However, I would not go out of my way to come back for the food unless I was with others who wanted to eat here. read more

Back in the day this place was good, but won't be eating here again. I ordered a platter like I have in the past (without the bun) and received a sandwich.

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant. I ordered the nc bbq sandwich my husband had the bbq chicken. First getting the food was a very long wait. The sandwich was overstuffed with bbq but unfortunately it had no flavor. And a lesson for anyone serving nc bbq sandwich - it should be a little sweet, a little spicy, definitely have a vinegar vibe and must be served with coleslaw on top of the meat to cut the richness. This had none of that. It was just kinda pulled pork mush. My husband's chicken looked fully cooked but slimy. The skin wasn't crispy and the meat hard to chew (not dry just hard to chew). There are too many good bbq places in the area for mushy and hard to chew meat. read more

This place is amazing and the food is always delicious! I did a big order with them recently for an event I was throwing and they had everything right one time and as expected. I'm a local and whenever I go to eat, the place is always clean and the staff is very kind and helpful. read more

There's the old saying "Barbecue is like sex. Ain't none bad, just some better than others." This was bad barbecue. I tried the platter with pulled pork, chicken and ribs. My sides were beans and collards. We waited 26 minutes for the order. The pulled pork was arid dry. No amount of sauce could save it. I tried adding several of their sauces and nothing helped. The chicken was extremely tough; nothing like chicken exposed to a long low and slow barbecuing experience, more like a hot and fast grilling. The ribs were way overdone to the point of falling completely off the bone. This made them too soft and dry. None of the meat had any smoke flavor, hinting that the meat was baked instead of barbecued. The sides were canned (Glory collards) and some type of canned beans with a little onion and green pepper added. Nothing special. I'm not sure if they've changed hands since the last time I was there or if they're just having a bad go of it, but this was inedible. I tossed most of it in the trash. read more

My friend suggested this place after we left the Convention Center, and I left happy she did. The food was delicious (we had the pulled chicken and the pulled pork sandwiches and split them with the delicious hand cut fries - my greens were yummy, too)), and the staff were helpful, friendly, and attentive. Plenty of sauces to choose from to add to your meal. I really liked the white sauce. Nice casual atmosphere with that great bbq feel. Check them out. read more

The Beach Bully had a cool vibe, simple but we here to talk about the food.. Had the JOKER combo, with the beef ribs and brisket.. the ribs were awesome especially with the sauce they gave us.. The brisket was a little thin for my taste but if you ask for the bun and put it on a sandwich it's pretty good.. Mac and cheese was good after some salt and pepper.. the greens were a bit too vinegary but overall good.. It was a self serve so no waiter but the first employee we encountered was super nice.. read more

We stopped by The Beach Bully on a Saturday around Noon for lunch and the aroma of bbq was the first thing that I noticed. The smell was divine. Thankfully, we got there right before the lunch rush so it wasn't that crowded at all when we walked in. Since we were unsure of what we wanted, one of the workers handed us a paper menu and told us to take our time ordering. We both decided on the Monster Beef Platter which consisted of beef brisket and pit sliced beef topped with grilled onions. I ordered cole slaw and baked beans with mine and my boyfriend ordered green beans and collard greens. The Monster Beef is actually served as a sandwich but we both decided to opt out of the buns. Once we ordered and found a table to sit at, the food was brought out in less than 10 minutes. The condiments are self serve so we grabbed some of their house made bbq sauces and the mesquite bbq sauce was our favorite. The brisket (which was coated in light bbq sauce) was absolutely delicious and the pit sliced beef was pretty good. Unfortunately, the collard greens and green beans had no flavor and the baked beans tasted as if they were right out of the can which was a bummer. The cole slaw was okay though. Overall, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and the service was quick, which I always enjoy. We both agreed that we'd definitely go back for the brisket though because it was amazing! read more

I was in Virginia Beach for an Aerospace conference and wanted to get some local BBQ, which locals referred me to Bully. I was surprised it was t very busy but the smell told me the smoking meat was going to be good. It's an interesting layout with booths and table and a saddle seat but most memorable was the variety and quality of the sauces (BBQ), each was good and different enough from the others, with Carolina, Spicy, Sweet and Tangy all standouts, not a lot of heat but a lot of flavor. The menu is ginormous with sandwiches to Mac and Cheese, collared greens to Hush puppies and hand cut fries. I had the Beach Bully BBQ Combo of Carolina BBQ and Beef Brisket and it was finger licking and lip smacking delicious! The portions were very generous and the searing comfortable and spacious . The service was chill and friendly . The prices were a bit high but it is on a Main Street and in a tourist area, however the portions made it a good value and the food quality of taste made it a return choice! read more

We went here on Saturday afternoon, heading in from the beach to get some grub to take back to the hotel--Saturday in the summer, around 5:30-6:00. Reviews were good. We noticed when we arrived we couldn't smell anything cooking. My husband ordered the Carolina pulled pork with cole slaw. His sandwhich was saggy. I ordered the ribs. This picture is very deceiving. They looked perfectly fine when I opened the carton. But I suspect they were cooked on Wednesday and just had some new barbecue sauce added. Terrible!! Dry! Hard!! Dusgusting! I would never go again. read more

So so so terrible. I'm not convinced the "brisket" is actual brisket. It's very thin sliced and has a strange texture. The bbq mac bowl tastes like stouffers mac and cheese topped with a steak umm. Save your money and try somewhere else!! read more

I was introduced to Beach Bully by my man whom loves this place and can eat here multiple times in a week. He has turned me into a fan of their beef ribs! I look like I should get the queen platter but I get the King platter!! I am not the biggest fan of their sides but the string beans are starting to grow on me. We've been here multiple times. This was the first time we actually set and ate. It's a cool establishment and they get quite busy. Customer is generally always good. They are a must try when it comes to the beef ribs they also have good fried chicken I wish some of these restaurants will offer zero sugar drinks instead of diet so I settled for water. read more

This place came highly recommended. Stopped in to buy some Pulled Pork BBQ to go. As I was meeting friends at a local campground and I was bringing dinner. Purchased 2.5 lbs and 2 servings of coleslaw. The coleslaw was good. The Pulled pork was awful. There was no taste, it was dry and seemed old. I was so looking forward to some excellent pulled pork....so disappointed. Never again. read more

Zero stars. I have no idea if the food was good, we waited over 30 minutes until I finally cancelled my order. I get that they had a bus of tourists, but there was no heads up about the wait. When I asked after 15 minutes I was told they were working on my order. They had not started it. Just a little customer service and being upfront would have gone a long way. The restaurant was fine in terms of ambiance. read more

I have been to The Beach Bully several times. Tonight, the food was awful! The brisket tasted old, the green beans were old. The trash can were overflowing and the lady working in the "kitchen" was rude. read more

I love how close this location is to my airbnb. The workers are so welcoming and friendly. I didn't like the green beans too over cook for my personal taste but the onion rings and pulled chicken sandwich look and smell phenomenal. A variety of sauces you can choose from and a whole main you including sides. Definitely would recommend this location to anyone visiting Virginia Beach. read more

This was a catered lunch for our practice. During COVID19, we are only allowed pre boxed lunched when being delivered. Super quick and welcome. I grabbed a box that said fried chicken, my mind was thinking a sandwich like on a bun. Much later and now cold box lunch, I opened when I had time to inhale this lunch box to find two pieces of fried chicken. I LOL, okay, pop this baby n the microwave and chose time. Even with the reheat the chicken was pretty good. Seasoned and reminded me very very very much of FARM FRESH chicken. I've never been to their actually restaurants so this is first taste. The Mac n cheese was pretty bland. The convince won me over read more

Sides were good, but the brisket was so-so. Pretty much a roast beef sandwich passed off as brisket. Good for a solid bbq roast beef sandwich, not so much for a brisket sandwich. read more

Not good AT ALL. Nothing tastes like it was made in house. Especially the macaroni and cheese. Nothing and I mean nothing was good. I was so disappointed. read more

Uh-Maze-Ing. The whole drive down to VA beach I was convincing my friends to go here (which didn't take much.) I adore their pulled pork sandwich. It's so flavorful and moist even without added sauce, but their sauces are also incredible. I love their hush puppies and mac n cheese. Definitely do not leave this place without eating the mac n cheese. The potato salad was also great. Beans, also great. Can't think of a single critique. They even have coloring pages available for kids. I colored a Garfield and hung it on my fridge. I don't even like VA beach that much but I agreed to go with friends because I wanted this sandwich. read more

Bad business decision to surcharge my CASH purchase. I pay cash to avoid paying the credit card surcharge but this establishment chooses to surcharge 3.5% on ALL purchases. I've been coming here for years but not anymore. Of course it's not going to break, me but it's the principle. read more

We stopped in last weekend with a party of 7 during a lunch rush - popular place by the looks of it! Even though this is close to the oceanfront, there is plenty of private parking available which is a plus in this area. It's a casual, no frills spot - order at the counter, fill your drink and find a table. The staff will bring your meal. We were at the tail end of the rush, so things were quieting down and we were able to snag 2 tables together. Our party placed 3 separate orders and they all came out close to the same time. Collectively, we had a kid's burger, grilled chicken sandwich, pulled pork platter, Brunswick stew, and chicken barbecue along with sides of collards, green beans, fries, onion rings and puppies. The grilled chicken sandwich had bbq sauce already on it, which I would have ordered plain had I known. The bbq (pork and chicken) was raved about. Daughter loved her burger. The collards are like none I've tasted with a good balance of sweet, heat and tang. The green beans were way too peppery. The staff was fantastic and provided friendly, efficient service! They checked on us several times through our visit and I saw them cleaning and sanitizing tables once patrons left. I would definitely return to try something else! read more

I've been coming here for years. There must be new cooks, I did not see the regular guy. Food wait time went from 15 minutes to an hour. The order was only a pulled chicken sandwich and fries. Through observation, the cooks did not have a clue on what they were doing. Hope it gets better, won't be coming back for a while. read more

Told us 20m wait it was over 50m was so frustrated that we just left without checking our bag.. half the order was missing.. Wasn't even busy and so many people were verbally complaining about the wait time. Food was 4/10. read more

Once again, Beach Bully did not disappoint. I had the pulled BBQ chicken sandwich and enjoyed every bite. The sauce does not overpower the taste of the chicken and the portion size was significant. I always enjoy their fries and especially their onion rings. The person I was got the half smoked chicken and he could not stop talking about how good it was. The staff was very helpful and kept their composure during the busy times and kept the restaurant looking good too. I'll be back in the very near future. read more

First, I want to take a moment and recognize the evening staff that were there 1/12/23 because we came in about an hour and a half before closing and oftentimes when that happens at any business-customer service can be iffy. However, that wasn't the case at all with their staff; they immediately greeted us and gave us a real warm welcome and really just gave us the best customer service. Second, the food- so, so, so good!! We had their fried chicken (great flavor and good amount of crunch), beef ribs (extremely good), brisket, and bbq chicken (also extremely good). It was like bbq you'd have at a cookout; very familiar and done just right! Overall it was a great experience and it is now our go-to for BBQ. Highly recommend read more
