Ocean View Fishing Pier Restaurant - Review - Ocean View - Norfolk - The Infatuation

"If drinking an Orange Crush and shelling steamed shrimp on the roof of a fishing shack doesn’t put you in a good mood for at least two days, then perhaps the mid-Atlantic is not the region for you. The brilliantly named Ocean View Fishing Pier Restaurant is a seafood restaurant right on the Ocean View Fishing Pier, where you’ll find dozens of locals fishing pretty much every day of the year. The food and drinks are nothing fancy, but the fried, broiled, and steamed seafood is the kind of quality you’d expect from a restaurant that is literally on the water. Eat here in your bathing suit, on your birthday, or any day you’re trying to have a good time." - Alicia Camden

We had a fantastic Labor Day experience at this restaurant. The rooftop dining was beautiful with amazing views, and we were seated right away with no wait. We ordered the calamari and fish tacos, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The happy hour specials were incredible—just $3 for well drinks, which is hard to beat. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive, friendly, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Between the stunning rooftop atmosphere, great food, unbeatable drink specials, and top-notch service, this place absolutely deserves 5 stars. I can’t wait to come back!

8/10/25. First time here. Arrived around 6 and easily found parking. However people are fishing from the pier so it may get limited. There was a 20 minute wait to sit roof top however the wind was whipping so we opted for inside which had no wait. We got the calamari and spinach crab dip for appetizers and we both had the ahi tuna sandwich. Everything was delicious. Server was very nice and attentive. Definitely recommend

I have been coming here for about five years and have never had one complaint. We love the gliders and atmosphere on the rooftop. They serve my favorite drink of any place ever, the key lime crush. I’ve had it many places, but I will always come back for this drink alone. The food is always good; I’ve not had anything I didn’t like. I love their green beans. I normally get the shrimp, which are always so good and cooked just right, but this time I went with the crab cakes. They didn’t disappoint, and I would get them again. The bathrooms are clean, even being attached to the pier. That’s a huge thing when going out, being that I have small children. The service was wonderful, as always, and we will be back soon 🩷

The atmosphere is very good, the service and food are both good. Just come for the ambulance, friendly staff and good food. This is basically comfort food in the ocean with fishing 😅. One thing I didn't like was the service charge for using my credit card to pay for the check.

The Best Fishing Pier ever! I’ve been fishing many places and I have known this pier since 1994. (My wife’s picture from 1994 and 2025). This Pier is the best place to catch fish! Also, people working at the pier are good people, very friendly, and help everybody they can. Just last week my car fobs’ battery was dead and I couldn’t start the car at all. Was already 1am and John, the owner of the pier, gave his own battery from his fobs’ car key so I could go home. Thank you very much John! I will never forget that. That was very nice of you to do that.

Had fish and chips and cannot complain. Service was good and location even better. Very relaxing spot on a nice cool, breezy Virginia day.

Wonderful location to enjoy a sea breeze and good food! I had fish tacos that were larger than most places and came with black beans and rice that was some of the best I have had…rivaled mine! Very tasty and very filling! And the service my waiter provided was spot on!!! And the happy hour is long!

My husband and I were here for our second time. The first time we came with friends and sat on top, this time we sat inside. Indoors is where it was at on this balmy 90 something degree day! Great views, excellent food! We had the fish n chips haddock fish with a very nice breading, fresh cut fries, coleslaw and homemade tarter that was to die for! We also shared some pier nachos with queso, jalapenos, pico de gallo, lettuce and black olives (my husband doesn't care for black olives so I ate them ALL!) Absolutely fabulous, I have been thinking about it since the time we left what a wonderful meal! The people were all nice on the pier, the server was wonderful. Excellent experience all the way around I highly recommend it!
