Best KPortal Reviews

My steak was cooked perfectly medium & seasoned perfectly as well with a buttery lightly salted flavor. Vegetables sauteed nicely and crab fries were good. The tuna bites were nice to try but nothing to special. Service was professional and food came out fast. Parking attendant was very pleasant as well. I'm sure I'll revisit in the future. ????
The perfect place to chill and eat while relaxing next to the beach. Arrived around 5:45 and still had a 15-20 minute wait, the place was packed! Great atmosphere though, it definitely seems like THE place people eat at around here. Highly recommend an orange crush, that's what they're known for. The fries with crab dip was worth it, made with plenty of crab. I had the tuna, lightly seared/rare, extremely tasteful, so much so that my wife switched dishes with me. The pasta was just average, nothing special. The waitress wasn't too attentive, but understandable since the place was so busy. However, if we asked for something, they were pretty quick! Overall, very satisfied!
We were in the area and stumbled across this restaurant. I am glad we did. Nice view of the beach, right on the boardwalk. The food was great, and we're large portions. The server was very nice and very informative and attentive. Drinks were good. I highly recommend it. I will be back when I return.
Good is good. If you only like fresh seafood just as me, not really matter which seafood restaurant , because you want fresh level, any seafood is fresh will be good just with steam or boiled has few simple spices. Here Shrimp a little dry ; fish taco is better with more sauce, too light.
Well look who is back out enjoying some great food… that’s right it’s The Hood! So first time to this place and well… it was awesome. Let’s start off by saying it was very busy and we had a wait time of 45 minutes. But don’t let that stop you they take your number and text you when your table is ready. So take that time and sit on the boardwalk and look and listen to the ocean. They give you a couple of minutes to get there. Now let’s start with service - it was excellent our server was very busy actually I believe had a very large party to wait on also. But that didn’t stop her she was always asking if we needed anything and kept the drinks full. Food - phenomenal The Hood had a spicy pasta with sausage, scallops and shrimp in a nice sauce it was incredible. My peep had a 12 oz steak which melts in your mouth. Atmosphere- well it was busy but it was still awesome my peep and I had a good conversation. So bottom line is this go check this place out tell them The Hood sent ya. You won’t get a discount but you will get great service and food! Remember be kind to each and follow the Hood for great food adventures. Sorry about the photos the Hood was hungry! Food adventure is out there!
Excellent happy hour! Apparently the original home of the orange crush, and it was delicious indeed! The fish tacos were on point and the super unique Buffalo tuna was a tasty treat too!
This is a must do every time my family comes to Virginia Beach. Excellent with only a couple of caveats.
She-crab soup/bisque? Love it. Absolutely delicious.
Hush puppies? Best on the planet. WARNING: as delicious as they are, I'm not sure they are worth the price. We're talking .66 each - and they ain't that big. Either up it to 20 (vice 12), make them bigger, or lessen the price. Especially given there is no bread, etc.
Salad - this was the biggest disappointment. "Prickly weeds" was the description given and the ranch wasn't quite bold enough on taste to pull it together.
Smothered chicken sandwich - delicious.
Fried Butterflied jumbo shrimp - lightly battered and cooked (and seasoned) to perfection.
And i always take exception to "automatic 20% gratuity on parties of 6 or more" - first, you don't know in advance if I'm grateful for the service. Second, 20% is both a bit steep ... And I'm normally quite a bit more generous (but that's when I have a choice). I suggest you provide good enough service that people WANT to tip would be a better place to start.
And three meals, two appetizers, and tip - $100+ ??
Last day of our weekend celebration, wanted some fresh, delicious seafood. The portions were smaller than expected, but very fresh and so delicious!
