Ben & Jerry's — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Ben & Jerry's at the Virginia Beach waterfront is exactly what you crave on a hot day or a pleasant evening stroll. It's a reliable stop for a classic, indulgent treat, earning a solid four stars for its consistent quality and perfect location. You can't beat the convenience and ambiance. Being right on Atlantic Avenue means you're just steps from the sand and surf, making it the ideal spot to grab a cone after a day at the beach or as a sweet ending to an evening walk. The bright, cheerful atmosphere of a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop is always welcoming, and this location is no exception. Of course, the ice cream itself is the star. You know what you're getting with Ben & Jerry's: rich, creamy ice cream packed with generous chunks and swirls. All your favorite euphoric flavors are here, from the always-popular Half Baked to the classic Cherry Garcia, along with plenty of options for sundaes, milkshakes, and fresh-baked waffle cones. The quality of the ingredients truly shines through, and it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Service is typically friendly and efficient, even during peak times when the lines can get a bit long. The staff usually handles the rush well, getting you your scoop of happiness without too much of a wait. So, why not five stars? While the ice cream is fantastic, it's still a chain, and therefore lacks some of the unique, local charm you might find at a small, independent ice cream parlor. Also, as expected for a popular spot at the oceanfront, the prices can be a bit on the higher side, especially if you're getting multiple scoops or add-ons. Sometimes, depending on how busy they are, the scoop sizes might feel a touch less generous than you'd hope for the price. However, for a dependable, delicious, and perfectly located ice cream fix at the Virginia Beach waterfront, Ben & Jerry's delivers. It's a surefire hit for satisfying that ice cream craving while enjoying the...

We loved this location a few years back. Went every night of our vacation. This time around, it has completely gone downhill. We arrived about 10pm and there were about 12 people between line and seating. They did not have their cookie cookie milkshake available. They said they could make a cookies and cream. We ordered 2 of them. They tasted like a little cookie dust in milk. There was zero thickness, not a hint of ice cream. It was gross! The line was picking up so we cut our losses. 2 other people in our group tried the milkshakes and agreed that they were just flavored milk. Never had a milkshake with zero thickness before, just pure liquid. Will...

Customer service was fine but prices were astronomical. Markup is definitely anticipated in an ice cream parlor but this is the priciest I’ve seen and without superior taste/size/service/selection. We recently got back from Hershey park and this ice cream was even more expensive than buying a huge cone inside of the amusement park. We won’t return. Save yourself a headache (and the arm and a leg this costs) and go to the nearest grocery store, buy a couple of large containers and a...
