Beach Pub

This is a homey dive in every sense of the word. You have a bar in the back with a good supply of locals enjoying each other's stories and tv's.Up front is the dining room, very dated, but that was ok, it all fit together. I ordered something I had not had before...clams with garlic and bacon. It was really good and gone too fast. The drawn butter was petfect with this dish. My only comment was to wish the bacon was crisper.The service was excellent, just the right amount.

After a full day, my wife and I decided on visiting the beach pub for our dinner. With only a few days to spend in the area I am so happy we chose this place over others. We sat at the bar while having college games on the TVs. It brought back so many wonderful memories. Our bartender made a wonderful Manhattan for me and a cocktail for my wife. For our main courses, my wife decided on the lasagna special while I ordered their shrimp and crab dinner. Our meals came out relatively quickly. My shrimp and crab was absolutely delicious with wonderful hush puppies! My wife enjoyed a lasagna as well it was huge and delicious. If you're in the area, you will not be disappointed, trying the beach pub!

My family and I stopped by the Beach Pub while we were visiting VAB because my grandfather helped open the restaurant years ago before he passed. Since the last time we had visited (~20 years ago), quite a bit has changed and we were a little disappointed. There is quite a bit of coast guard/surf and rescue/military memorabilia inside the restaurant that pays tribute to my family's heritage which is a nice touch. However, we sat outside in a large booth that rocked back and forth, and the environment was pretty loud due to road/air noise. My family ordered the Barco Clams to share (clams, garlic, bacon, but they were just meh), and my dad and I split the 1 lb of shrimp which was the daily special - there is no way I would've been able to eat all of the shrimp by myself (huge portion!). We added a side of potato salad to our meal which was a little smaller than what I was expecting, so the side was hard to share. Most of the food tasted great.Our waitress was lovely and really tried her best to be attentive during the evening since she told us the restaurant was pretty busy inside. We were in no rush to leave, but if you needed to get in and out quickly, you may have had some trouble with the service.

The food is consistently good, service is great, and everyone is friendly. Great place without all the hoopla!

We decided to visit here based on the recommendation of a local who said the She crab soup is delicious. The restaurant has been around since the 70s and by the looks of it the place hasn't been updated since then. We were seated as soon as we arrived and Theresa was our server - she was great! We loved the crab dip and the house made chips! The she crab soup - well ... that really wasn't love - it lacked flavor I would say using a bit of sherry in it would change it completely and make it delicious! The flounder was a HUGE portion and included the skin under the breading - ok, but not fabulous since I didn't love the skin on it and it was pretty greasy. Loved the variety of sides - including broccoli salad and beets! I didn't picture the crab in butter that was ordered as it was pretty disappointing. It is a nice idea, but there was a bunch of cartilage in it so it was crunchy - would not recommend (note- when using canned crab meat it really needs to be sifted through before serving). I think this is a nice local stop that has a big menu and loads of potential. I have a feeling maybe we just picked some of the wrong things because the things we enjoyed were delicious.

First time here. Sat at the bar. Bartender was nice. Drinks were the worst we have ever had. Ordered an espresso martini. Got a cup of vodka with a splash of coffee flavor. Drink was a clear brown color rather than a rich creamy color. Also got the crush. Was a glass of orange juice. Ordered the pimento crackers and cheese. Crackers came in individually wrapped plastic wrappers. Cheese was missed with onions. Very low end appetizer.

Excellent service. One of our first choices for brunch out.Eggs Benedict always a winner.All you can eat flounder on Sundays is a great value.

Been here plenty of times without any problems. Went on a Sunday morning for breakfast and were told to sit anywhere. So we did in an area with multiple other people. We were never seen by a waiter, never told "I'll be right over" or anything. About 20 minutes went by and still nobody came over. Even though there was a server that went to a table right next to ours 3/4 times.

The food was very tasty. The shrimp were cooked perfectly!Our waitress was very attentive!I shall return!

We stopped here for dinner after finding out it was featured on an early season of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The night started with a little skirmish in the parking lot (which is small/tough to navigate) but we immediately got a table. The food did not meet our expectations...it's pretty basic for a seafood joint. Our collective favorite was the crab dip. Service was okay once the waitress remembered we were there. If you're looking for something not too fancy with medium to good food, this is the place for you.
