Bay Local Eatery

"Went to Bay Local to celebrate birthdays and it was a great experience. We had a large party so the projected wait was an hour but it actually was much less. The wait staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and suggestions were perfect. I ordered the OG margarita and added sorbet 10/10 along with the club sandwich on white bread and fruit. Due to my shellfish allergy I couldn’t order anything fried but I was still satisfied with my choices!"

"Our food was good. Good portions on everything. Service was good. Our waiter was really busy, so she couldn't tend to us properly. Still would recommend this place. Thanks."

"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."

"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!"

"Food: delicious meals. The po’ boy wrap was absolutely delicious with the fried oysters which is their most popular filling. The aioli matched the wrap well and cut down the oil from the fried oysters. The cold-smoked salmon Benedict was good also with the hollandais sauce balanced and the Parmesan garlic tots to die for. Lastly, the key lime pie was on the upper scale of the better slices that we have had. Service: the service crew was really friendly, and was always at the table at the right time we needed anything. Atmosphere: we sat outside for brunch and it was a nice change. Inside was a little loud and could be busy, but outside had a nice breeze and the planters made it more secluded. Overall a nicely decorated place with nice beach-vibes."
