Bay Local Eatery - Virginia Beach

Absolutely amazing service, Tuesday at 11:30am the place was full but no wait. Gluten free menu. Very customizable menu. Great drink specials (almost half off select drinks of the day). It’s in a strip mall but don’t judge by the cover. Got the crabcakes benni, lighthouse omelette, parm garlic tots, grits and fried biscuit. The crabcakes are phenomenal, tots have changed the game, fried biscuit is a heavenly donut and the grits are a cheesy delight. I will be back.

Great portions of food (pancakes were HUGE). The service was good. Surprised that the pecans were not baked into the waffles nor the chocolate chips in the pancakes. The 18% automatic gratuity is not appreciated as many people tip on service food quality etc. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast

The Bay Local Benedict was absolutely amazing and different from anything I've ever had. Our waitress was charming and the scene was vibrant. The wait was a bit long, but totally worth it. We will be returning for more.

We got the suggestion to try Bay Local Eatery when we first got to VA Beach. We ended up going the last day of our visit to kill some time before our flight home. I’m glad we saved it for the last day. The food was awesome and service was great. Between the three of us, we ordered sorbet mimosas, Mac and cheese, grits, crab balls, chicken wings, French toast bites, 2 waffles with pecans and icing, bourbon French toast, and fresh-squeezed orange juice! All so yummy! Whoever was in charge of decor put some serious though into it. The bathrooms and dining room were very clean also. It seems to fill up quickly. There were plenty of seats when we arrived before noon but when we left, there was a wait. Worth the wait if there is one!
