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.
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.

Food comes in large portions. The crab cake Bennie was okay. The crabcake was mushy. The home fries were crunchy and savory. The tower omelet was good. The hangover is a huge order of steak, home fries and a large pancake. This is a very busy place. The service is good. Servers are super friendly and accommodating.
Ate here sun morning, blueberry waffles, pork sausages, garlic parma tots, country fried chicken, biscuit, and gravy are delicious. The fresh orange juice is amazing.
Came around 11 am, had to wait for an hour, but it was worth it plus there’s comfortable couches/chairs to sit while you wait. The atmosphere is nice, parking is easy, do try this place!
The breakfast here was amazing. First and foremost the fresh squeeze oj I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had the chicken and waffles with parmesan tater tots to die for! The syrup they provide is amazing I usually have to bring my own. My mom's biscuit was beyond her expectations! Melt in your mouth. The chicken Cesar wrap was so fresh and the sauce for it reminded my bf of his mother's sauce. My bf told me the bathroom was so clean and spacious. I have 0 complaints! The only issue is now I can't have breakfast anywhere else because nothing comes close to this place. I'm in south Carolina right now and their food is making me sick. I'm ready to come back to this restaurant!
Love this brunch spot when in Virginia Beach! The food is so seasoned and the drinks are very good. I’ve had 50% of the menu with no complaints!
This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Virginia Beach! The menu is insane. I’ve had a variety of things and am never disappointed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, service is fantastic. You will not regret visiting this place!
I got the chicken and waffles with scrambled eggs with cheddar, and a chocolate chip waffle. Hands down the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Miranda was a great server who was friendly, professional and quick. Definitely coming back!
I got the banging balls appetizer the chicken and French toast and a carmel coconut iced latte everything was perfectly seasoned service is amazing and it's the perfect atmosphere for relaxing
