Hair of the Dog Eatery

Food is really good, sandwiches are HUGE so good! The deviled egg appetizer id delicious. The staff is kind and helpful. Good ambiance also.

Quality food. Clean interior. The decorations at the front block a clear view of the restaurant, making it virtually impossible for customers to enjoy the view of the inside of the restaurant while waiting for a host to seat them. That's unfortunate, because it looks great inside once you get past those decorations that block the view. It also makes it harder for the restaurant staff to see that someone is standing at the front.Would go again.

My friends and I decided to go out for brunch. So we all decided on Hair of The Dog. We were interested because they have drink flights and reasonable prices. When we arrived we opted to sit outside. We were having a good time talking until we realized our food was taking a long time to find it's way to us. My friends ordered drinks that took a while to come out as well. The coffee flight had no evidence of any coffee or espresso. It looked very light and watery and the whipped cream looked like it went through a lot as well. It wasn't appealing to my friend because it curdled... She couldn't tell it had curdled until she stirred it. So they brought her another coffee drink that she still wasn't that pleased with. My other friend had a mimosa drink that looked good. We sat for like an hour and a half waiting for food. My stomach was cussing, bubbling, growling, and crying all at the same time. I asked the waitress if they had biscuits, fries, or anything complementary? They didn't but she was so nice to bring us home fries to hold us over until our food arrived. I got the seafood omelet with home fries, the potatoes were good with a nice crisp. The omelet would have been good if the seafood was up to par. There were only 3 shrimp and a drop of crab in it, but the shrimp tasted sour. Like a very weird chemical taste. My throat rejected it right away. The waitress was nice and replaced it with the pungo. The pungo would have been good if the chicken was fully done, but it was undercooked and I just opted to take it home to finish cooking it, instead of complaining again. The Gouda Mac was pretty good though..It was cheesy and creamy.. My friends had issues as well. One had gnats in the Mac n cheese, the other had dog hair on her French toast. There was dog hair everywhere. It was a lot going on!! Lol. The food was also cold. We had to pick our struggle. But we did sit outside, so if you eat outside and people have their pets, do expect flying fur, and other things to occur. I'd never eat outside there again after all this.The waitress was very nice, she didn't get frazzled or rude because of the stress of the kitchen being backed up. She was friendly and kept us informed. I appreciated her patience!! The experience was a whole lotta whole lotta. I don't think I'll go out of my way to return, but maybe I'd give them one more chance in the future. But this experience wasn't good. They should absolutely make you aware upfront before ordering that it could be over an hour or two wait... Definitely consider if your willing to wait on the weekends, they're pretty busy. They also don't take Togo phone orders during peak hours.

Me and a couple of friends decided to have brunch here, I've been here in the past unfortunately the last few visits have not been great! We sat outside waited a while for a waitress we ordered a cocktail, and a ice coffee flight we waiting a very long time for our cocktails. The coffee flight was not a winner this time. I couldn't taste coffee at all, the coffee was watered down as if the drink had been sitting the ice appeared to have melted a lot. The whip cream on top looked curdled so once our waitress came back I shared with her how the coffee flight was a fail. So I ended up ordering an expresso martini that was okay but I've had better. I'm not a fan of cream in my expresso martini. We waited over an hour and forty minutes for our meal. The food was okay the bacon was cold and the food was warm. What was really annoying was the fact that people that arrived after us received their food before us when we ordered our food long before them. So if you are on a time constraint I would highly recommend you find somewhere else. By the way the restaurant wasn't busy there was plenty of open tables and there was no wait. So the time frame it took us to get our food had nothing to do with the restaurant being busy. And they do not accept to go orders on the weekend. Per the waitress. On a good note our waitress was very nice and pleasant. Sorry Hair of the Dog you missed the mark.

Went for brunch and was really surprised! I got the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was cooked perfectly with a ton of flavor, loved how crisp and fresh the red onion was especially. The restaurant was clean and staff was for the most part attentive, would definitely go again.

Hair of the Dog has been on my list of places to try for quite some time so my girlfriends and I decided to meet there for Brunch on Saturday around 1pm. Thankfully, there was ample seating outside so we grabbed a table right away and started looking over the menu. It took some time for our server to greet us but we were told that the restaurant was very busy so we were understanding. We started with our drink orders. I chose the Island Mosa and my friend chose an Iced Coffee Flight. Unfortunately, it took about 30 mins for our drinks to be served. My mimosa was great but the whipped cream on the iced coffee started to become clumpy and curd-like. It was very unappetizing and the coffee was also a bit watery so my friend decided to return it and order something else. Our server was very understanding and shared that since the bar was so backed up, we should probably put in our next drink order if we wanted something else. Since we were unsure when our server would return, we made sure to order our meals after she served our drinks lol. I decided on the Shrimp & Crab Omelette with Hollandaise sauce, along with Candied Bacon and Mac & Cheese. We knew it was a bit crowded but it took so long for our food to come that we had to ask our server if she could bring us out some fries to hold us over until our food arrived. She was super sweet and very accommodating and we were able to share some complimentary House Potatoes until our food arrived.We didn't get our food until close to 2:30pm. The omelette was good but the seafood didn't taste that fresh and the Mac & Cheese was a bit dry and unfortunately had a little bug in it. The Candied Bacon was good but was served cold. Since we were sitting outside and dogs were in the area, there was dog hair flying all around. It even got in our food a few times. I did show the server the bug in the Mac & Cheese and she quickly brought me out another, which was actually much creamier than the original so they should definitely work on their consistency. I wish I could have enjoyed this restaurant. With the dog hair flying everywhere, I made a joke about the name of the restaurant and what we were experiencing and we got a good laugh out of it. Overall, our server was very nice but I probably won't be returning unfortunately.

This is our go-to breakfast place when we're in VB. The service is absolutely the best no matter how busy the place is, the food is top notch, and the prices reasonable. It has just the right vibe; hip but not too much so, suitable for friends or family. The drinks are amazing--it's the only place I've ever been where you can get a flight of mimosas.

My daughter and I opted for this place for a hearty breakfast on an out of town soccer weekend. It was exactly what we were looking for. They have a few outside tables and one couple was out there with their dog enjoying the nice weather. We sat at one of the inside booths. It was pretty full on a Sunday morning around 9am.I ordered a basic breakfast (eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes, pancakes) and coffee. It was all good and what you would expect for a reasonable price. My daughter got the sticky chicken with the sauces on the side. It's a waffle cone with breaded chicken and hot sauce and donut glaze. I thought it tasted great! I really liked the hot honey sauce. The waffle cone is a little hard to eat and maybe is more gimmick. However, we boxed her leftovers and later in the day, the waffle cone got a little soggy and it actually made it easier to eat. Good flavor on the cone too.The service was friendly. Overall, solid choice. There were definitely a few customers enjoying morning cocktails (blood Mary's, mimosas), as you might expect based on the name. The place isn't fancy. Lots of dark wood. Traditional bar and grill feel. Overall, good option!

The food was better than I expected and I will definitely be returning. The service was decent and the ambiance was okay. However the great drinks and food really created the experience for me. I got the pongo bene and it was so good I had gotten halfway through it and completely forgot to take a photo. Lol My photo is of the marshmallow espresso martini

Enjoyed a nice Friday brunch with my girls today at Hair of the Dog Eatery in Virginia Beach. Kept it simple and got the Big Breakfast. It was super tasty, well seasoned home Fries and the grits had the perfect texture. Pricing was reasonable and our waitress was great. Will return again in the soon future
