I went kayaking with some coworkers (and dolphins!) further along Shore Drive earlier this summer, and after our tour, my guide recommended Citrus as a Virginia Beach classic. He was right: everything about Citrus was a fantastic experience, but the food was truly the standout!
Although most items on the menu looked really appetizing to me, I knew I had to have the biscuits and gravy, having grown up in the South and now struggling to find good biscuits in California. The food came out quickly, and I can't tell you how delicious and filling the plate of biscuits and gravy was; I'm drooling just thinking about it now. All for a very reasonable price too. On top of this, my coworker had gotten a sweet potato biscuit and devoured it, so I had to get some as well (yes, even though I literally already ate biscuits and gravy). Definitely worth it: the sweet potato biscuit was so incredible that I ordered some to-go for my parents as well and then tried the other location the next day. Everyone else at my table ordered seafood (think crab benedicts, Oscar Bacon Burger, soft shell crab, etc.) and loved it; one of them even said that out of all the restaurants we ate at this summer, Citrus was the best!
In terms of ambience, inside it's nice, clean, and cool (so grateful for this in the hot, humid summer). Service was super friendly and accommodating, even as some of us changed our order as we were deciding. The last thing I'll say is that I appreciate that this location has FREE valet parking; the parking lot looks pretty small from the outside, but with valet, more customers can fit in and enjoy the delicious food at Citrus!
