Va beach has no good seafood restaurants which for beach town, is a joke.

Depending on the chef you get, Trellis in Williamsburg is good. Brutti's in P-town is a good place as well. There's a new place, open less than a month, that has the best ambiance of any place in this area. Its called Village Tavern in Carrollton and you will not be disappointed by this place. For seafood, I'll only go or take someone to Bennett's Creek Marina.

For overall experience and the best food around, the Smithfield Inn has every place beat. If you want a good meal, best drinks, and do not want to be disappointed go here.

get the fucking funky chicken sause right, the pepper parm, ITS ALWAYS WRONG AND OFF, and the bread always tastes like stale texas toast, the chicken is always dry, i know exactly what the sauce should taste like and everytime its wrong and tastes like bad sour cream or something, one time we all went and weve been eating that sandwich for a long time, especially rob, and it was just so gross it was upsetting, i finally went back like 3 months later, i almost threw the sandwich across the room cause it was so bad, went there again with a few people but i did not eat, i had a bite of the funky chicken and i was happy that i didnt.and the last time i went the artichoke dip was bad as well, for some reason tasted like it was full of fucking mayonnaise. i have vowed to never go to that location again. ill make the drive to norfolk even though its 20 minutes away and the one on laskin is literally right down the street cause i know when i go there expecting a good sandwich, thats what im gonna get and thats why i dont go to the new one anymore cause i go in expecting a good sammy and i dont get it and i get pissed. my suggestion.... go with us to the one in norfolk, taste the sandwich, the sauce and other stuff with us, well tell you if its right. then go back and make it like that at the one you work at.

Oh, and we will be presenting a new menu very soon.
