Buoy 44 Seafood Grill

The chips were delicious and I enjoyed my Caesar salad. We started the meal outside on the patio which had a beautiful view but we had to move inside because the flies were terrible! Very limited parking so we had to valet. This was a good spot to grab a meal as we were passing through to the Outer Banks.

Arrived for lunch on a fall Friday and was able to snag a nice shaded spot overlooking the water. Not a lot of folks, but I could imagine happy hour would be packed. Was a bit peeved that all they had was valet parking, but it was free for patrons, so that was a relief. At least it was for lunch. Waitress was very good and we were well served. We ordered the hush puppies which were tasty but I suspect they could turn down the frier a bit. They were well-done. The crabcake was tasty. It was 50/50 meat to loaf which was more than I was expecting. Chips were a meh. Overall a fun time and would recommend. I suspect it is a much more lively place come happy hour.

Service was great. Nice waitress. That's the only good thing to say. The food here and gone down hill since I was here last summer. The salads were sad and the sandwich was nothing special. We wont be back, there's plenty of other options.

Another Virginia Beach classic!Stopped here on a Thursday afternoon for Happy Hour (3 pm - 6 pm) with my family. Crushes were $7 during happy hour but I opted for the Banana Split Crush that was not part of the special ($9). That crush was delicious and STRONG. We were told that the nachos did not disappoint and I think that was our favorite thing at the table. Topped with crab meat and shrimp, we ate every bite. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos with a side of homemade chips. The fish was mahi that was perfectly cooked and moist. My husband ordered the Flounder BLT, and my mother ordered the 44 Burger. Both said they loved their meals. We couldn't leave without trying the Key Lime Pie and that completed a wonderful meal!Tips for next time:- they give a discount on your bill if you pay in cash- pets are allowed on the deck as long as they are well-behaved! (Our dog LOVED it here).

Great view !!! Awesome seafood !!! The staff is amazing !!! Can't wait for a summer sunset !!!

Great steak sandwich.My wife and I wanted something for takeout in the area, and they had good reviews and tasty sounding handhelds, so we gave it a try.I had the steak sandwich. The steak was very tender and there was no fat or gristle. The bun was soft. The queso is a unique touch - different approach to cheesesteaks - and reminds me of the way Philly uses cheese whiz instead of provolone. All in all a great, different cheesesteak.My wife had the flounder blt and we both liked it. I appreciated that the flounder wasn't in a heavy breading - it just had a light flour breading, which let you enjoy the delicate white flounder meat.We'll be back, and next time we'll sit and watch the bay.

We love sitting on the back deck drinking Coronas and watching the waves roll in. I usually get the house salad with grilled salmon. Fyi, they have the GOOD ranch, so get a side of fries and dip away! Service is laid back and friendly. It's a chill summer spot.

This is neighborhood bar with stiff drinks and standard bar food. Nothing particularly special, other than the view and location. We had a great bar tender last time we were there.

We love coming here for date night whenever we're back in Virginia Beach. It has changed since our first dates 10 years ago but it's still nice to come back to. Going to this place gives me a reason to dress cute, grab a drink, and watch the sunset on the beach. I wish their drink menu/cocktail would expand because they do have a lot of potential. This place can get packed in the summer but that's to be expected. Overall, the food isn't too bad. It can be hit or miss. We will definitely come back here whenever we visit home again. This place holds so many memories and we keep it near and dear to us.

Laid back eatery with gorgeous waterside views! The outdoor seating is ideal if timed right and their happy hour is a decent deal. Parking on site is strictly valet which is a bit inconvenient, but there was plenty of street parking (though I imagine it gets tough during the weekends/summer months).Went here for a weeknight dinner & the wait wasn't long at all. We were nearing the end of HH so we took advantage of their $7 crushes (the flavors were all pretty good with the exception of the buoy 44 crush). The food was great all-around; I was a biiig fan of my tuna bacon wrap and it was all gone by the time we were done with our meal. Overall, I'd come back again & I think this place stacks up well against the many seafood restaurants scattered along Shore Drive!
