Early 4:30 PM dinner on 5/2/25. * Note: You can use the public parking lot across the street for $6 an hour vs the valet at the restaurant. I don't want kids driving my vehicle. We have been coming to Virginia Beach off/on for 24 years and dining at Waterman's each trip. 3 years since our last visit. Walk in. No reservation. Seated promptly inside as requested. Our standard order for two orange crushes placed. These crushes had very little actual orange taste and more ice than drink. $9.25 each. We have the drink recipe from Waterman's and make them at home regularly with the original Burnett's orange vodka. These crushes were made with the new Waterman's orange branded vodka. Didn't order any more. My wife's salmon salad and crab cake were very good. My lobster tail and sides were also good. A lot of flies inside the restaurant detracted from the meal. *Note this review was completed without using ridiculous un-discriptive terms like out-of-bounds, OMG, on point, awesome, the bomb, yummy, delish, to die for, do yourself a favor, trust me, flavorful, or kids emojis etc.. Describe the food, service (or lack of) and provide details on the cost/copy of check and include pictures! Is the place clean? No disrespect to the employees, but no one cares about the waiter/waitress/clerk names, or if they look like they fell face first into a tackle box. They get changed like underwear and you don't get to pick one. We don't care about your allergies, vibes, how "chill" you feel, or the need for gluten free food. **If you see a Google review posted with just stars & no text, report it via the 3 dot selection adjacent to the review. If the text in the review doesn't describe the food/service report it. This cleans up Google reviews and removes the slugs just trying to get reviewer points by marking a star or "paid" reviewers. Process: Select - Report review. Select- Not helpful at the bottom of the drop down menu. If the review doesn’t help people decide whether to utilize this business or go to this place it's worthless.

We entertain our 'out of town' family every summer, and every year, they request Ynot Italian for a big family dinner. It's a place that never disappoints! Everyone finds a delicious choice for dinner, even our gluten free family members..with no fuss! The staff are very friendly and so efficient. It's a fantastic family restaurant!

Tammy Treichel

Slways a great experience. They have gluten free and vegan options.

Maddie Marr

Overall 10/10 every time we’ve gone! Best gluten free crust I’ve had

Robo W

Nice place to eat with kids! Ask for the gluten-free menu, if needed.

Robyn

This sandwich shop was the cutest with all of the fresh ready to meal items and then there's the actual sandwiches! VERY fresh, LOTS of fillings in the sandwich and TONS of flavor. Even better with my gluten allergy they had bread options and were careful to note my other for my safety. Definitely coming back!

Annette Legge

My Husband and I go to Rudee's each year after the VA BEACH BOAT SHOW. I now have to Gluten Free and was afraid there wouldn't be much I'd eat there now...I am beyond thankful to see ALL THE GF ITEMS!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BIG GF MENU!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Crystal Fallon

Coffee was so good! Food was fresh. They gave lots of gluten free choices!

Jason Ford

What kind of sandwich shop will not let you customize your sandwich. I just wanted to hold the mayonnaise and tomato but the extremely poorly designed website has deemed their sandwiches are perfect as they are and will not let yo make any changes. On top of that there fry’s are not gluten free regardless of what they say and now I am in intense intestinal pain.

Lisa Caskey

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and took their time to explain which foods were gluten free.

Abby Bain

Food is good and a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Just don’t come here for the service. They are slow (30 minute wait for soup and tacos…and it wasn’t very busy), the girl taking orders doesn’t know how to talk to people and made ordering really awkward, and they made a mistake on my food.

Last night in VA Beach and we had a fantastic dinner at Becca with Shy as our fabulous server. Amazing accommodations for gluten free (bread with honey butter!). Cocktails were creative and delicious!

Dani Lynn

Summary: Nicole was funny and friendly! Food was delicious (and had gluten free sandwich bread) prices were very decent for our large party. Sit by a window if you need extra light to read menu. We came in as a party of 5 of visitors (Army base nearby). Nicole waited on us and she was SUPER friendly and knowledgeable on all the menu items. She was patient and quickly brought our food out despite the lunch rush (which the food was delicious and had good portion sizes by the way). The shakes were amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the gluten free bread substitute on my Reuben. The atmosphere was cozy, but we went on a day that didn't have a lot of natural light so I recommend if your party needs more light to see the menu, perhaps sit near a window. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and the high reviews here aren't kidding!

Lisa Repinski

Excellent experience from beginning to end! Christina was out server and was not only helpful but kind! Highly recommend gluten free options!

Julie Cloninger

Good food (burger and salmon)and a lot of gluten-free options. Service was fast and paid attention to details. Fun atmosphere

Emily Benson

Having Graze Kitchen cater my wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They crafted a gluten-free farm-to-table menu specifically for my husband and I's tastes. Everyone raved about the food at the wedding. Multiple people said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. One friend commented "there are few meals I will remember forever, but that was one of them." Not only was the food insanely delicious but the entire team was professional, friendly, and a joy to work with. If you're getting married in Hampton Roads, or hosting an event of any kind, do yourself a favor and book Graze Kitchen!

Breanna Garcia

Off gluten free soy sauce option and a very knowledgeable staff

Danielle Zornes

Food was ok but very dinner like. They only offer gluten free bread substitute. No pancakes, no bagel, and waffle options. Amazing service and very clean though!

Elaina Miles

Amazing food and good pricing. Great team! Ben took very good care of me...GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS GALORE! They don't advertise it, and you wouldn't expect it at a pub, but I was very pleasantly surprised that they have a GF alternative for almost everything bread! Muffins, buns, etc.

Anthony Chapa

My favorite new breakfast stop, as a transplanted New Yorker it’s amazing to get Ess A Bagels in my backyard! The store is clean and beautiful and manned by a friendly and welcoming staff. My wife loves the gluten free bagels too! She has tried every brand and these actually taste like a normal bagel. Blueberry cream cheese is my new fav of the week. Eggs over Avocado sandwich is my goto besides the Bacon Egg and Cheese Nana.

Jody Caputi

Ordered the gluten free pasta with shrimp and scallops, was given the wrong pasta unknowingly. Began eating the seafood first when a male waiter who is not our server caught the mistake and told our waitress Sabrina that she gave me the wrong pasta. I had already been picking at the food and ate off it and then she came over with my new plate. I figured since I was already eating off this plate they were going to throw it away so I asked her if she could at least let me have some of the seafood I had already started on with my new plate and she could just take the pasta away. I thought it was reasonable request especially considering the significant error and I assumed they were just going to throw it away anyway. But she said she had to bring it back to the kitchen so they can make a new one. It is then I realized they were probably going to give that food to somebody else! After I already ate on the plate, there is no doubt in my mind. The portion has also become much smaller than I rememer. The bathrooms were disgusting, the dining area was very nice I would say five stars but then you walk into the bathroom and it's like a two-star place.

Scott Secamiglio

The food is always hot, wrapped well, and they can do Gluten-Free dishes. Very impressed with it. They seem to use white meat chicken for those that are used to dark

Dr. Joan-Marie Lartin

I ordered a dish with pork after a last minute change as I realized my original order contained gluten-the waitperson was great. Unfortunately the pork was so tough I could only eat about half of the order and then via rigorous chewing. At no time over about 25-30 minutes did either of the two waitstaff ask if everything was alright. Add the fact that the ac was broken and it was 92 outside and I’m not coming back soon

Connie Pearman

Tuna melt delicious! 😋My husband and I get that. Very frequently with their homemade warm chips. Whitney is a great server professional and friendly😃My husband has a gluten allergy which they are great to help with preparing his order.

Lisa Mossing

So many gluten free options and Barilla GF spaghetti.

Joel Firestone

Chicho's makes an awesome gluten free pizza! Friendly staff and great view of the beach.

Donna M. Jones

One thing a GF person can count on is good food and dessert at Outback. We both had a Cobb salad and shared the chocolate thunder from down under. Gluten free made delicious.

Tom Sibley

Nice place, with a flare of casual elegance. Food was delicious. Wine menu is fairly good, would like to see a few more euro wines. Accommodating to those with dietary needs such as being gluten free.

We had a great experience for date night. The atmosphere was perfect, and the booths super comfortable. Our waitress was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure I received a celiac safe meal.

Shannon Denna

We tried three different types of shrimp rolls (bang bang, buffalo, and fried) as well as the Lobster roll and lobster cheese sauce. Everything was OUTSTANDING. Our son is allergic to gluten and fish so he was only able to eat the "Red Hot dog". We ordered it plain, no bun. I was floored when they gave me a discount of $0.50 because we didn't take the bun. We always have to make substitutions for his food and often pay extra, never get a discount. The food was so good we orderd more even though we were full! You will NOT be disappointed. Highly recommend.

Brandy Bergenstock

We had a great experience - 3 near perfect meals. Gluten-free and there were several options to choose from as well as having gluten-free bread. They were a vegetarian options and some really delicious dessert breakfast options like cinnamon pecan waffles with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Their happy hour was fabulous with five dollar crushes.

Chad Meyers

Great gluten free and vegan options. Nice staff. Can't hovering with Mojitos

All you can eat crab is the prize here. Also they are very careful with gluten free. Just ask for help.

Kevin Z

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.

For the good: Server and manager were nice, friendly, and helpful; music was good until the live band left. For the bad: Took about 30ish minutes to order drinks; ribs and brisket were both sold out, so I ordered the tender steak with some pink, but got majority pink; strawberry milkshake didn't taste the greatest; when the steak was redone, they threw away the asparagus as well, and ran out (I have a gluten allergy, and their sides are limited in that aspect); steak tasted disappointing. Very bad experience, but at least the workers were positive and friendly...

I have always loved Aldo’s but tonight’s experience was lack luster at best. Our server, Ashton, was forgetful and inattentive. He didn’t really seem that well educated on the menu. I asked about the gluten free options, his response was we have gluten free pasta but he didn’t know if anything else on the menu was gluten free. The restaurant was very busy, and could have possibly been understaffed which might account for the poor service. We were there for a very long time before he finally took our orders. He forgot to ring in my drink twice. We had to repeatedly ask for more water. The food runners gave the appetizers to the wrong people. My lamb chops had zero flavor. The shrimp Gorgonzola were very tasty. My crème brûlée was awful. Not once during the entire meal did he ask any of us how anything was. Honestly we were all starving so most of us just ate the food despite it not being great. One person did return theirs because it tasted off. At the end he plopped the check down and walked off. There were nine of us. He didn’t even think to ask if it was separate checks. When we asked him to separate the check he went into what a hassle it would be because they don’t have seat numbers and he threw out the paper he wrote the order down on so he didn’t know who had what. Incredibly unprofessional. At no point during the evening did a manager check on us to see how our experience was. Not the dining experience I am used to. The icing on the cake was when I got home and opened my Togo Napoleon and it was a piece of cake. Our bill was over $900 but the food and service were not worth anywhere near that amount. I won’t be going back anytime soon. Such a shame, it used to be a great place to eat.

While this place is small as others have noted, it doesn’t matter when the food is so good! I am gluten free and ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with OG sauce instead. Oh my goodness!! It was SO good. I am a very picky eater and have issues with textures. But this bowl wow! It was flavorful without being overpowering, fresh, and had the perfect amount of all the ingredients. Service was also wonderful! I am so impressed with this place and wish they had more locations!

Aline Studstill

Best sushi in town! They also accomodate gluten free needs!

Valerie Justine Astorga

Such a unique place! The food was so good, they had vegetarian and gluten free options! And all gender rest rooms ♥️ The atmosphere was nice and music was great!
