Bay Local Eatery - Virginia Beach

My husband and I popped in here for a brunch on a Monday holiday. It was crazy busy and I can see why, the food is amazing! Even though it was busy, our service was nothing less than extraordinary! Bay Local has such a fun menu, it was seriously so hard to choose something to eat. I ended up going with their chicken BLT my husband got the shrimp Caesar wrap which was also amazing! The tots are to die for with the garlic parm seasoning they're tossed in. We started off with the crab ball appetizer and they were also heartily stuffed with crab meat. I tried a classic **** Mary for the taste and price you cannot beat it. We sat at the bar which was pretty crowded, but we never lacked any service from the amazing staff. We for sure cannot wait to come back and try out more food on this menu!

Highly recommend for a decent little breakfast/ brunch spot. Parking semi sucks. But that just shows it's good when folks still make the effort. The service was decent. A bit of a wait if you aren't there early. Decent orange crushes which definitely matters. The pineapple wasn't bad either. The crab ball appetizer was pretty good. I had the burrito as my meal. It was a hearty size. I would say it could use a bit of salsa or something to add a bit more flavor. The chips were seasoned with old bay. Overall I'd go back but likely try something instead. The feel is cute with the extension. Nice seating area for a cocktail with friends.

I waited 15 minutes for a tiny piece of keylime pie then was informed there is a automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. Pretty blazing after I waited so long for a piece of pie. I would have tipped 5% . Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5

This is a favorite spot of mine, I always bring out of town guests here, something for everyone! I love the amount of fresh, healthy options. The parm tater-tots are a must try!! Also, eat that fry biscuit while it's hot, add some honey too! Great vegan options! Cocktails are great, love all the Mimosa options. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out due to all the good reviews and how cute it looks inside. No problem with getting seated and getting served. Our food was okay and we were expecting bursts of flavor. Maybe just an off day but my omelette with the veggies didnt have much taste at all flavor wise and the vegetables were not cooked all the way like I had anticipated. The tater tots were very good and full of flavor which we enjoyed! Both our meals seemed to lack in flavor besides the Tots. The mimosas werent quite what we were expecting. When we received a glass with champagne and then in the middle was a ball of what appeared to be the frozen flavoring. I guess we just figured it would all be mixed in together almost like a frozen margarita but mimosa style. Lacked in flavor for us all in all. When we got the bill it was about 65 dollars for 2 frozen mimosas and 2 entrees. Kinda considered dining and dashing but we paid.
