Chix on the Beach

After reading tons of reviews about this restaurant, I decided to stop in for dinner and I wasn't disappointed!! The atmosphere was laid back. The service was above and beyond. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. Highly recommend the steak bites on the appetizers. The hush puppies were some of the best. I understand why their burgers are rated the best at the beach. Highly recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE, you won't be disappointed!!

We were walking the block and decided to try it out for dinner without looking at reviews, menu or knowing anything about the place and what a great place we chose. It was a Friday night and insanely loud which was the people just all wanting to talk as loudly as possible over other people drinks flowing happily. We were seated in a booth far away but the noise level was still up there. The waitstaff here seems absolutely top notch. Especially for younger people to have the work ethic and service provided is getting rarer and rarer to find. Well done to the owners you can tell they train them right and pay them well. Drinks and food ordered swiftly, brought in timely manner and checked on at what I perceived as perfectly timed intervals. A very pleasant dining experience and the food was excellent and what I would describe as reasonable for a popular tourist spot on the water. My salad was top 5 best salads I’ve ever had. Great combo of goat cheese, almonds, dates, apples, cucumbers and carrots with arugula and spring mix and a really well made dressing and grilled plump shrimp. Fresh and flavorful. Husband enjoyed his burger and fries. Great drink menu variety and beers. Will definitely be dreaming of that salad and when I can visit to eat it again. All the meals around us smelled amazing.

We always go to Chix when we are in VA Beach. We went on a Saturday night and it was extremely busy. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Of course, we got our Crushes. We tried the Hushpuppies as an appetizer and the crab cake sandwiches and chicken tacos. Food was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. There was a band playing outside in the gazebo.

The food quality was great, the amount for my plate with the shrimp, scallop and crab meat at the bottom could have had more. And the alcohol drink was very weak like there was no alcohol in it. But the view was nice while we had lunch.

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The food was incredible. The drinks menu was impressive too, with creative cocktails. But what really made the experience stand out was the stunning view - the scenery was breathtaking and added a whole new level to the meal. And our server, Maya, was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Awesome crab. The food is very good. We were really impressed, so we’d go back. One of the best places to go for dinner. Service was great and fast. Indoor, part outdoor, and outdoor seating available.

Located on the boardwalk, Chix is a cute all American so food spot. They have an area that borders the boardwalk so you can look out as you eat, a bar area and more of an indoor seating area. The food overall wasn’t too bad and the prices were reasonable. I got the fish sandwich and it was ok. The breading was thin and barely held together once I started eating it. Taste wise, it was not bad with the tartar sauce but without was pretty bland. My friend got Mac and cheese for her son and heads up, it’s Kraft that has been up charged. Our server however killed it! She was so attentive and despite being very busy she didn’t skip a beat and even took a second to talk to my friend who was engaging in conversation with her!

We went multiple times while here on vacation and it was pretty good! Everything we tried was either excellent or just okay. Some enjoyed their meal more than others (the burgers are a little lackluster). The real star players are their appetizers and happy hour deals- they were fantastic. Service had always been excellent with frequent check ins. Things I recommend: The fish tacos, Signature Wings (Thai Chili), Hush Puppies w/ Whipped Honey Butter, the Beach Nachos with Pork.

In town for a staycation, I hopped in the elevator and asked a couple where they were heading for dinner. Their answer? CHIX! Checked the menu and boom--here I am. We were seated right away, and Rachel was our server. She was super polite, gave excellent suggestions, and stayed attentive throughout our meal. To start, we had the She Crab Soup, Blackened Steak Bites, and Hushpuppies--all 10/10. The soup was rich and flavorful with an abundance of crab. The steak bites were cooked perfectly, and that signature sauce? It needs to be bottled and sold! The hushpuppies were spot on, especially with the butter. YUM. For the entrée, we ordered the Ultimate Just Seafood platter: jumbo shrimp, sea scallops, lump crab meat, and lobster tail all dredged in Old Bay and butter. Absolutely phenomenal--so good! With the generous portion, it was perfect for sharing, especially alongside our sides of mashed potatoes and a garden salad. Their peppercorn dressing is a must-try, foodies. All in all, CHIX was a fantastic choice--delicious, cost-effective, and filling. Highly recommend. Bon appétit!

Great place Highly recommended Good food and great people You won't be disappointed This is our future rat time Our waiter (J J) was super friendly I'm sure we will be back in our future to Virginia Beach

Such a wonderful spot on the boardwalk. We waited less than 20 minutes for a spot on a Wednesday night. 20 min is nothing with a live band and the ocean in front of you! Our server, Grace, was incredible. She was kind, hilarious and personable. Sit in their patio if you can! The ocean breeze and open setting helps with the music and sound coming from inside. Inside was a bit of a maze and extremely loud. The lump crab cakes & just seafood were both delicious. We had to add salt & pepper to the veggies but the mashed potatoes were so dang good. The kids cheese burger was $8.99 and a huge portion. Orange crush drinks are their thing and absolutely refreshing!

It's been awhile since my husband and I have been to Chix, sadly it wasn't as good as the last time we were there. The "Crushes" were rather bland compared to our previous experience and the valet parking is annoying ( my car was soaked from the valet's rain coat). Our previous visits we rode our bikes but due to weather we had to drive, so we weren't expecting to have to use valet to grab a drink and a bite for lunch. The surf and turf tacos were really good but the flavorless drinks and valet parking left us a bit dissapointed.

A nice dive bar type place on the strip- but actually quite large inside. We were lucky to be seated beach side and had a great view of the ocean. Service was friendly but slow, not surprising based on how busy they were. The calamari I had was one of the best versions I've had in a while. Well seasoned and fried, with a nice spicy dipping sauce and even fried banana peppers. I really enjoyed the food there.

Expect your run-of-the-mill boardwalk beach food; flavorless, greasy, burnt to a crisp. We got the nachos, hush puppies and split a shrimp bag. The shrimp was rubbery and overcooked. The presentation was abysmal; looked like cafeteria food. This place draws a specific vacationing crowd; those stopping in off the Oceanfront. The only perk was the valet. Otherwise, I would never return.

Chix is always a classic go to in Virginia Beach! It's always packed, but they always seem to find a table for you! I got the shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries this time, and they were absolutely delicious! I washed it down with an orange crush Which is a must drink while you are there. The staff is friendly and the views are great looking out over the water, put it on your list to go to in Virginia Beach!

This is what a board walk seafood restaurant should be. Casual and lively with great quality seafood. The crab especially was really good! We (party of 2) stopped by for dinner and although it was busy we were seated in 15 minutes. We ordered a couple Crush cocktails, fried calamari, crab dip, just seafood entree, and pork belly tacos. Everything was great but what really stood out to us was the crab dip. Restaurant was well staffed and very quick with service.

The atmosphere was nice. Food was ok nothing super stand out or special though. Drinks were tasty. Service was slow and chaotic. Server seemed overwhelmed with so many people to help.

My family was looking for a seafood boil so we came here. Although their seafood bag isn't quite the seafood boil we were expecting (in terms of seasoning), we were not disappointed given how fresh the seafood tasted. The bar seemed to be backed up and was slow with our drinks, but other than that my family had a good meal.

The food was great! The service was great. Our waitress was on top of our drinks and making sure all was well. We love that it is right on the boardwalk!!!! Very convenient when staying at a hotel on Atlantic Ave. Now the bad.... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because they automatically added gratuity. I have no problem tipping, especially when the service is good. I even tipped our waitress even though the gratuity was already taken out. I get it can be tough, but to automatically take it out is ridiculous. It seems like when places like this automatically take your money to tip, the service lacks. Granted ours didn't and like I said we tipped more. But to automatically take it, is borderline theft in my eyes. I base my 4 stars on the food and service this trip but I will not return.

Came here on a cloudy day due to "Erin" hurricane, because the family wanted some boiled seafood and this place DID NOT disappoint! We sat on the covered patio which has a nice beach ambient and our server was always quick and responsive on our needs. Amazing service by all. Food wise, we got the snow crab legs boiled and they were so good that barely the shells survived. We also ordered a grilled seafood combo with lobster tail, so good that we didn't even take a picture and just started digging right away. Very good spot, approved and recommended

We went on a rainy weeknight so it wasn't as busy in the back area as it was in the bar area. This was fine as we had our kiddo with us, and we were there to eat not drink drink. We ordered a she-crab soup for the table since we kept seeing it and wasn't exactly sure what it was. And we all loved it! The SIL ordered a bowl for herself. Then 3 of us shared a shrimp and crab feast and ended up ordering a second bag/order. It was delicious eats... The service was kind and friendly, as well as attentive. The ambiance was chill. We could see the beach, and I know on a sunny beautiful day, especially in the summer time this spot gets crackin'! (Haha, get it?) All right. Well, all in all, nice restaurant, friendly service, clean bathrooms and spaces, and good food.

Recommend the crab dip, crab cake sandwich, and creamsicle crush for a hot sunny beach day! Great ambiance, service, and food. We came in from out of town and found the valet to be a huge advantage too! The valet guys were respectful and incredibly nice too! Can't wait to come visit again!

Chix has a great ambiance, the view of the boardwalk and oceanfront is beautiful all year long (anywhere you sit) and the crowd there is always friendly and fun, as well as the attentive service. The food is really good, I have had the calamari many times, stuffed jalapeño peppers, peel and eat shrimp, burger sliders, chicken sandwich, Greek salad.....and of course orange crushes. Sometimes there's live music in the gazebo where they have plenty of outdoor seating. I definitely recommend.

Love the atmosphere!! Food is good. Love the fact that it's on the boardwalk!!! Great spot to visit if you're in the beach

The location was wonderful, we sat under the covered patio. The drinks were delicious. I had a rum runner crush and my husband had a cherry limeade crush. We started with the blackened tuna bites, they were phenomenal. And the service was good, our waitress was attentive, but not hovering. My husband ordered the Just Seafood, it had really great flavor, but he wished there had been more to it. He upgraded to Cesar salad which we split and was so tasty. I ordered the shrimp and crab bag, and was disappointed. Everything was cooked well and the portion was great, but unfortunately there was no flavor. So it was a mixed bag, I think we'd go back again, but for lunch, or to order a bunch of appetizers.

Amazing !!!! Orange Crush was delicious and I can't wait to go back for some more! I got the grilled chicken sandwich with buffalo mozzarella and balsamic glaze very tasty! The others in my group ordered the surf and turf tacos they looked amazing . Several got a variation of nachos and they too looked yummy !

Came back for dinner. As the food and service was good. Was approached by I guess was a manager during dinner. My son who didn't order a cocktail as he forgot his wallet at home did have a sip of mine. She was very very confrontational in her asking about his ID. As we were leaving I did let her know she was super rude. When she told me she wasn't I went to leave and she deliberately walked into me then yelled that I touched her. She rushed to get security which I replied I never touched her. The security guy stepped into my face and my husband had to step up to him and tell him to back off. So very unprofessional. As someone who's in the restaurant business I am appalled how they treat their patrons.

Good food and drinks! You also get to keep the souvenir cups that your drinks come in. The prices are not bad either. Especially for an oceanfront restaurant with a view. Service was really good even though it was very busy.

Red Bull watermelon crush is unique and refreshing!! The CRAB DIP IS AMAZING!! you are offered peta bread and chips!!! Megan is wonderful!!

Wonderful dining experience ! A must visit on every trip to the Oceanfront. We've dined here many times typically for lunch. My favorite is the seafood platter, fried of course. The food is perfectly cooked and seasoned. We've also had the crab dip, crab cakes, fish dishes, scallops and prawns. Again perfectly prepared. The staff are attentive and customer service is outstanding. The patio and sunroom are excellent especially with the sea breeze. If you're looking for an awesome dining experience by the sea this is the place. Can't wait to come back again!

Great ambiance, got to sit where ever I wanted. Chose the patio seat with open garage windows so it was like I was still sitting at the beach

Food was good. Service was on time. We had a large group and they accommodated us very quickly. View of the beach and ocean was wonderful. Perfect end to a great trip! First time ever eating she crab soup and it was very good! Burger was ok but that's what I get for ordering beef at a seafood place! Hahahahah!

My husband and I came here for lunch. I got the crab cake sandwich and my husband got the tuna tacos. We got to sit on the covered patio. We love getting to eat at places with outdoor seating. We had a nice view of the boardwalk and ocean. Our food was good. I thought the crab cake could have been larger. The bun was bigger than the crab cake, but the flavor was good. My husband's tuna taco had a large piece of seared tuna. Yummy, but would have been better cut into smaller pieces. The service was good. We did not have to wait long for anything. Overall, not a bad spot.

Celebrated my daughters 18th birthday here tonight. Great staff and amazing food. We will be returning

I just moved to the area from Florida and wanted to try a new place to enjoy my night and have a few drinks. Unfortunately, the bartenders and staff were rude and kept staring the entire time I was there--including the manager on duty. I didn't feel comfortable at all and couldn't enjoy myself. I won't be visiting again.

Good food, strong drinks, excellent service and a great view of the ocean. Stopped by on a Monday early evening in March and the place was busy-ish for the off season. Seated right away by the hostess on the heated patio overlooking the water. Perfect view! Server was great and made sure we had what we needed and checked up on us. Enjoyed the happy hour specials both food and drink wise. Orange Crush was nice and strong and the hubs enjoyed his bud light. Food we got the Happy Hour wings and the 1/2 of a pound shrimp deal. Both were a great portion and nicely cooked. The wing flavor was the flavor of the week and it was a nice sauce. Other menu items looked great and will be back to try more of their food!

Great bar vibe right on the beach. Stuffed salmon was my favorite. It was seasoned well and wish I could order seconds of the couscous. I would pass on the tuna. I can't put my finger on it, but something just wasn't great. Mashed potatoes were a hit though. The highlight of the night was the Chixtini. I had to order 2.

"We chose Chix on the Beach for our Father's Day dinner while on vacation, and it definitely delivered on the beachy vibe! The live music and bustling atmosphere made for a lively evening. Although we were quoted a wait time of at least an hour, we were pleasantly surprised when we were seated on the patio much sooner. The food and service were decent, but it might have been impacted by the busy Sunday crowd. I had the 'Ultimate Just Seafood,' which satisfied my seafood craving, though the veggies and potatoes could have been better. My husband had the "Surf & Turf Coastal Tacos" which he loved. Overall, we'd come back--more for the cocktails and the fun atmosphere, perhaps for a laid-back lunch next time."

I think this is the worst restaurant I've ever frequented in my entire life. The food was terrible, their service was terrible, I have a disabled brother and the woman that seated us was extremely rude, and I would never ever come back here again. I give this restaurant at very negative rating and I would recommend other people never ever try to go there. They seated us in an air conditioned. It Was intolerable, and they didn't tell us they were going to do that.

I Went here for a date night and the food was excellent I had a hummus wrap and my date had the crab ripper and we split some beach nachos which hit the spot. Valet was great as always but the server wasn't as attentive. Also the hostess was not very welcoming and made my date feel very uncomfortable.

Was in VA for a work related thing and we ate in Chix easily 3 times while we were there. I want to give one star because they introduced me to their Orange Crush beverage and now I cannot get it at home :( Scallops were TO DIE FOR. Saturday night the place had dancing and was difficult to leave, so just be warned if that is not your scene.

Great ambiance off the ocean Shrimp favorful Crab dip great. Service timely. I would visit again

Everything was great! The fish was fresh, excellently prepared and presented well. Additionally, the servers were friendly and very attentive. Had a very enjoyable evening in fact so enjoyable we went back the next night and had the same great experience.

I came in for lunch. The wait time was quick and the ocean view , from the patio, was great. I must say the roasted vegetables are amazing. The location is perfect for parking and walking the waterfront, or taking a stroll from your hotel room. The restaurant offers valet service, with gratuities in lieu of changing for the service.

Food was mid, server was uninterested Out of a dozen clams 6 were closed. Sausage and corn in the boil was Slivers of food Burger was overcooked, dry and really no taste Location is great

Cool place with oceanfront seating Sister restaurant to Watermans. Great variety on the menu. Friendly casual service and atmosphere.

The menu had a variety of choices with typical fare, hinting that the food will be just ok. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the food came out pretty tasty, with great seasoning. Service was friendly and attentive. Beachfront views and a casual atmosphere and overall, it's an easy recommendation for a simple, satisfying beach lunch or dinner.

My friends brought me here for my bachelorette weekend festivities and it was a great time! We went on a Friday night and they had an awesome DJ who provided good vibes the whole night. The food was great for bar food and the portions were large. My only complaint would be the drinks. We all agreed that they tasted watered down. The service was also great as we were able to be seated and taken care of right away! Definitely recommend!

The nachos at this place are not good! They did not put enough sides or cheese on these and we basically ate just chips!! Don't recommend !! The seafood boil was ok, steamed shrimp were good! The lemon butter trio seafood dinner wasn't as big as I was exspecting it to be

First time in and it was Outstanding! Courtney suggested the Broiled seafood platter, which was the Fresh Catch of Day. That was a home run! Got a couple Caribbean Crushes thanks to Tracy. There was another in the middle, but we won't mention that one. Courtney was right again. So as you can see; Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I stopped across the street at Waterman's Spirits and they sent me over here.

Stopped by Chix for dinner on a Wednesday night since it was right next to the hotel I was staying at. Surprisingly the place was packed for it being a weekday! We were seated right away but after that the service was abysmal. Our waitress took quite a while to come by and get our order, by then we were ready to order our meal too so we did it in one go in case she took even longer to come back for our food order. I got the bacon cheeseburger and my husband ordered their clams. I also got their Caribbean crush drink and my husband ordered a beer. Our drinks arrived fairly quickly. I will say, I am not impressed at all with their alcoholic beverages. The flavor was off and didn't taste like the flavor profiles described on the menu. The bacon cheeseburger was good, but it's pretty hard to mess up a burger. My husband said the clams were good too. Honestly I probably would not come back here. Their drinks were awful and the food was just ok. The service was very slow. I think we saw our waitress twice. Once to take out order and again to bring the bill. I absolutely DO NOT recommend Chix on the Beach.

The wings were awesome!! Beer was cold and Tara, the barmaid was awesome!!! Would highly recommend this for your place to have a drink and eats after a good time on the beach!!

Sweet spot close to the beach! My wife and I shared the fish and lobster and scallops! Always worried scallops will be over cooked but these were phenomenal! As was everything else! There was a drunk lady being loud but we thought it was just good ole fashioned beach people watching entertainment!

Came here on a beautiful day in October. We sat on the patio which was wonderful and an awesome view!! Courtney was very friendly - she was great. She kept those orange crushes coming. :) The crab dip with the pita was so good. Even my friend who doesn't like crab dip likes this crab dip. It comes with pita, chips or both. The warm pita was perfect. I ordered tuna bites and they were a bit overcooked.....not a lot of pink. My friends liked their food. I think she got the bourbon chicken sandwich and mac and cheese for a side. That mac and cheese looked delicious. It took all my strength not to take my fork and help myself. I will be back. I didn't even take any pictures because I didn't want to be that person. Oh.....valet parking only. But they do take Venmo for tips which is very convenient.

Nice place. BUT, Watermans is much better, unless you like the bar scene better at Chix, I'd just go to Watermans instead. - Also, the booze they use for their 'well' quality drinks tastes like soot. Lastly, their crab cakes are nothing special and charging $29 for 2 of them is a little greedy. - Other than that it was great !

Sat outside and it was beautiful. Had the ultimate seafood dish and it left me stuffed. Will definitely come back.
