The Chicken Spot — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Normally I'm not a guy that enters a bar but when I see Mario Kart on the main screen from outside, automatically piqued my interest. Didn't realize the name of the place until much later. I decided to order a colada crush (not bad, felt a bit weak but ok it's like a spin-off on a pina colada) and the 3 piece tenders ( that were bomb btw. Tasty, crispy and juicy.) Sheldon the server was also super nice. Why 4 stars? Well I don't know if it's normal to be charged a 4% card fee plus a 20% service charge (on the wall it says gratuity) since I'm new to this type of place. But the video game on the screen ( they had basketball on another TV) , plus drink and great food did it for me. They make up for the cheap price of the food off of the service charge I guess.( I tipped as well) Will I return? Absolutely! The food and the ambience was just perfect for an introvert like me. (Even if things may be pricey I guess. Again not sure about prices in places like this) But loved it. Made my night and got a light buzz. Might've even salvaged my Memorial Day...

Prices went up. Quality apparently did not. It wasn't terrible, but there is so much room for improvement. When you walk in, it is dark (in the middle of the day), and nothing but explicit rap is playing over the speakers. Everything I touched felt sticky, and the bathroom needed a pressure washer taken to it. First thing I noticed when I sat down was the prices have gone through the roof. The drink I ordered wasn't terrible, but it was weak and $10. I built my own boil because I'm not trying to spend $40 on some seafood at a hole in the wall chicken joint. The food came out quick and hot. There was absolutely no way the entire half pound of shrimp was in there (approximately 10 of the small shrimp is nowhere near a half pound). The sausage was plentiful and tasted good. The "2 potatoes" were two potato halves, but that didn't really matter because they were still raw, and I couldn't eat them anyway. The girl behind the bar was nice, but spent most of her time talking to the only other person in the place about her...

The new owners have really made changes to this establishment. The workers clearly care about quality customer service even when they are busy, as they are kind and speedy. The size of the restaurant is intimate and welcoming! Their music is solid and they play a mixture of goldies and modern hits. Plus they have this super cute sunflower spot where you can take wonderful pictures with friends, bae, or solo-dolo. When they are short staffed it can be a little longer of a wait but the food that comes out is completely worth it. The flavor is there, especially the shrimp, wings and tenders. Speaking of which the tenders were huge and delicious. I just got three and they were awesome, definitely filling for a personal meal. They even gave me some dipping sauce (just ask for it) from their wing options and it was amazing! Definitely a place to go for good food, and good vibes! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good bite and good service. 10/10 will be recommending to friends and tourists who come...
