This is a disaster me and family are not local . We are in VA Beach visiting. We come to this restaurant to get some quick to eat . First we get in here ordering. The waiter asked over and over are orders which we repeated . He went and put the order back in . Then came back again asking about our order which we had specifically told our order . My father in law asked for soft bacon and no lettuce no tomato on his burger . His burger was the first to come out with tomato and lettuce and hard cooked bacon on it . My father in law is not the type to talk so my mother in law I had told the waiter that burger was wrong . He took it back and it came back the same way at this point my father in law didn’t want it . Then he says it’s on me . I’ll remake the whole burger and it’s on me . We get the bill . And the burger was on there . So once again my mother in law says to him I thought you was going to give a free charge. he says I was talking about the other burger which he didn’t tell to us . He said the one that he was replacing. All we can say is DONT EAT THERE EVER EVER . BAD CUSTOMER...

Super friendly and laid-back bartenders and a chill atmosphere and the best regulars in the entire 7 cities. It's as if you stepped in to a mash up of "In Living Color" and "Cheers" in real life when you go there; the older regulars in their 60s, 70s, and 80s are playing Drake and Young Dolph on the jukebox while the younger regulars in their 20s and 30s are playing Elvis, the Isley Brothers, James Brown, Eric Clapton and Tom Petty on it. They have tvs all over the place, so no matter where you're sitting, you'll always have a clear view of a tv. There's also a golden tee machine and a pinball machine, and they have a dart board and a foosball table as well. Their food is excellent too, and very reasonably priced. They even bread and batter their flounder and shrimp fresh per order, not ahead of time like most restaurants do. Their drinks aren't priced high either; $4 draft or bottled domestics, $5 for imports, $6 for well drinks and Fireball, and $7-$8 for top shelf. They run different or drink specials from Sunday to Thursday...
