80/20 Eatery — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

During my inaugural visit to 80/20 Juice Bar, I was delighted to experience TNT Production's fantastic comedy show in the rear area—a great addition to the ambiance! Now, onto the main attraction—their delectable Philly cheese steak egg rolls and salmon egg rolls. I've sampled numerous varieties elsewhere, but none compare to the impeccable flavor here. The cheese and meat are expertly seasoned, enveloped in a light and fluffy egg roll wrapper. What truly resonates with me is their philosophy of balancing 80% healthy eating with 20% indulgence—an ethos I wholeheartedly embrace!

Update: "I've changed my review. The first visit was outstanding. This one below was horrible."

I visited on September 3, 2024, and unfortunately, it was the worst experience I've ever had. They've made changes, and none of them were for the better. I spent over $120 at all three eateries, and it felt like a complete waste of money. The main reason I returned was for the Philly cheese steak egg rolls, but I was shocked to find out that someone new is making them now, and it’s just not the same. The Philly cheesesteaks were terrible.I’m leaving this review to warn others – don't be fooled by their changes. To make matters worse, one place sells cake but doesn't offer a military discount, even though everyone else does. The quality has really gone downhill. I won’t be coming back for food. I feel misled into thinking it was the same great place as before, but it's clearly not.

If TNT Production hosts something there, of course, I'll attend, but I will eat...

Yesterday I visited The Original Soul Food Restaurant. First off, I want to say the food tasted really good, no complaints there. However, I was very disappointed with the portion sizes, especially for a soul food spot. The prices were also on the higher side.

I ordered the catfish dinner with two sides, mac and cheese and string beans. Unfortunately, I only received one small piece of fish and a small portion of sides. For a soul food restaurant, I expected a more generous serving.

While waiting for my food, I noticed there was a comedy show happening on the bar side of the restaurant. I figured I would grab a drink while I waited, but I was stopped by a gentleman who told me I had to pay a $20 cover just to enter that section. I wasn’t about to pay $20 just to buy a drink, so I passed.

Instead, I walked over to another food vendor in the same building that was selling smoothies and egg rolls. I ordered a jerk chicken egg roll. After eating my soul food, I waited an additional 45 minutes, only to be told they needed to roll more of the egg rolls I ordered. At that point, I decided to wait outside. About 30 minutes later, I finally got my food, but unfortunately, I was disappointed with the taste and quality of the egg roll.

Would I order from the soul food spot again? Sure, just not anytime soon, and I’d definitely try something different from the...

It's such a nice atmosphere here and the staff is nice. I can't tell you enough how much I LOVE the all natural smoothies here!! Talk about amazing!! I tried the banana nut bread smoothie ( & it tasted just like that!!) !! The smoothies are very reasonably priced and you get a lot in your cup!! They are so flavorful! I've also tried many of the all natural juices that they have! What makes it even greater is the food that they serve now. Y'all they have the oxtail sandwich using coco bread. It was dressed wonderfully and tasted amazing! I had it with the perfectly cooked sweet potato fries!

Update* I went again and tried the fried fish on Coco bread and it was pretty good! I had it with the home cut fries which was okay, just kind of soggy. I was a little disappointed with the oxtail sandwich this time around. My sister ordered it and it was not the same as when I first had it. Be prepared to wait for your food and it most likely will not all be brought out at the same time as those at your table. That's a downside to it. I also tried the fruit roll up smoothie which was...
