Not on the beach, not really a pub. My wife and I were excited to try our first DDD spot since moving to VA, boy were we dissapointed. The decor inside was dull and run down, the service was terrible and the food was nothing to talk about. This place should be avoided if at all possible. There are so many good seafood places in the area that blow this waste of space out of the water!

**Guy got this one wrong, Triple D has lost all street cred by recommending it!** I'm not sure when this place was visited by Guy but they should remove it from their list so that no one else makes the mistake of going here again. When you're on a short weekend getaway the last thing you need is a nasty meal like this one to waste your time and money. Not sure what this "fritter thing" was made of but it didn't taste like food. Place was dirty and tables were sticky.

Went there for dinner with my daughter son-in-law and grandson. We were on vacation and read that this restaurant was on Diners,Drive Ins and Dives. They had no baked potatoes and no tuna for a casedia. My daughters shrimp were dirty and way over cooked. I had all you can eat grouper which was very fishy and not at all tasty. Very dissapointed to say the least.

After seeing it on DDD, my fiance and I stopped in. I had fried fish, which is a simple dish by any standards and it was AWFUL! My fish was so overcooked that it was like chewing rubber. I was pregnant at the time, so my fiance had to take me to Wendy's afterwards because I was nearly in tears at how horrible it was and I was still starving. We both quickly agreed that we'll NEVER go back.

My family, friends and I have been loving The Beach Pub's steamed shrimp for more than 25 years! It's simply the best! I especially like to order at the newly updated bar, where you can enjoy the shrimp, chat with the locals and watch your favorite sporting events... Redskins & golf for me!

I agree. I stopped going there because the food and service were both bad! To make matters worse, the waitress got nasty and they wouldn't do anything to correct the problem when breakfast was cold and the egg whites were still clear.

About the only things consistent about the pub is cold food and poor service. Guy didn't comment on the clam fritters because they taste like paste with hot sauce. The best thing I can say about Pub is they make a decent Bloody Mary. If I wanted to prepare my food I would stay home not go there and have fish hash. Which BTW was only added to the menu for DDD!

The Rock Fish Sandwich is the best . My husband would eat there every day if we let him . There fresh brewed sweet tea is a must try . If your in Va Beach it's a great local place to check out.

My family has been eating at the Beach Pub for so many years. Every birthday celebration and alot of family events took place at the Beach Pub! I even worked there as a waitress many years ago. The Beach Pub is dependable for good food. That's it! You can't go anyway else that isn't over priced in Virginia Beach. It does lack atmosphere, but knowing you will get a great meal at a reasonable price with pretty good service is hard to bet at Virginia Beach. My brother-in-law is a regular!! I support the Beach Pub! The Soft Shell Crabs Rock!

The Beach Pub is a local's place in a tourist town. It is known for great local seafood at reasonable prices. Soft shells, shrimp, scallops, and fish simply prepared and delicious. The fried seafood is very thinly battered and not greasy at all.
