Coastal Cafe

We tried the new sub The Johnny YIt was Philly beef steak, grilled O's, mozzarella, marinara & pepperoni on a garlic toasted roll.It was so good, we loved them!Just the right amount of everything!I got mine without the onions.(We would have loved more buttery garlic on the inside of the bread, but that is a personal preference)Hubbys Tatar Tots were cooked perfect.His chili mac n cheese was good.The regular Mac n cheese was a little dry. Once I added milk, extra cheese & pepper it was good to go.Would definitely order the sub again!

Perfect little neighborhood bar and grill. I grew up here in arrowhead and it was cool (for me) to see all the memorabilia and street name inspired food and entrees. Very attentive bartender and awesome cook. Made my steak bites perfect. Give it a shot and definitely try the shrimp too.

Today was our first time here . We've lived in the Kempsville area for 10 years and didn't know about it. Great experience. We had the coastal burger that was cooked to perfection and the jalapeño added the right amount of spice. Drink was perfect. Definitely will be back again.

My boyfriend and I had a nice date here. Our server was attentive and super nice. She took her time to make us feel right at home. The food was hot and great! Great portions too!

Best local bar in Kempsville! Great food, terrific service. The spot is a nice, homey local place. Lots of neighborhood people frequent this establishment. The food is really outstanding, even more so for a small place. Always a culinary school graduate staffing the kitchen. If you do go, order of the specials board as the chef always has something special for you. If you stick with the menu, the ahi bites are super popular. Great breakfast on the weekends that usually have Eggs Benedict

04JAN22 I had a wonderful dining experience with my oldest brother, this is his favorite 'go to' restaurant. This hidden gem in the Kempsville area is locally & family owned. It has a friendly, non-pretentious atmosphere. We went there for the Tuesday night 'Shrimp Special'. It was great. The shrimp were plentiful, large, tasty, and perfectly cooked. It comes with melted butter for dipping & cocktail sauce. The hush puppies & Cole slaw were also excellent. Our waitress, Stefanie, was everything I would want in a waitress. She was genuinely friendly with a warm smile, she was articulate/well spoken, helpful, and came by at just the right times, not too much & not too little. The prices were exceptionally reasonable. Whenever I go to visit my family in Virginia Beach we always eat there at least once per visit.

This restaurant encapsulates so much love in Kempsville, but folks from everywhere are embraced. I'm grateful for Barrie Engle because she gives so much back to our community. She's an unsung heroine. She also substitute teaches at KHS. Her students refer to her as the GOAT - Greatest of All Time.

This might be a neighborhood bar and grill but the food is great! Fresh seafood that won't break the bank like the Tuna bites is our favorite! From tacos to fresh-cut fries there is definitely something for everyone here. They are also open for breakfast on the weekend. Definitely one to try if your in the area.
