Locally owned and operated since 2007, Lucky Oyster is known for its selection of the best local fruits and vegetables from Pungo Farms and its local and Easter Shores oysters. I wasn't in an oyster mood, so I decided to order the following: Creamy She Crab Soup Cobb Salad Pungo Crush The award-winning creamy she-crab soup is a new recipe from previous years and is phenomenal.My favorite part of my meal was the fresh seafood cobb salad (without bacon, I don't dine with the swine)--lumps of crab meat and seasoned blackened bay scallops on top of a bed of fresh garden greens. Plus, avocado, cucumber, shredded cheese, and egg make it the perfect meal to hold on to summer longer. Pungo Crush featured local strawberries from Pungo Farms. The crush was excellent and strong, so intense that I couldn't finish my chosen meal. Now, I would have drank more than half if I had a meal with bread or pasta--like the Crab burger or Baked Seafood Penne. I can see how Lucky Oyster won the "Best of the Beach" award ten times for their Seafood.Where to get this #dreamyeats? 2165 General Booth Blvd STE 154, Virginia Beach, VA 23454Mon to Sun 11 am to close

My family and I came to this location because my stepdaughter absolutely love crab/lobster mac and cheese. All the times we have come to VA beach on vacations we decided we wanted to try something new so we found this location online that was listed as one of the best. The waitress was great and offered suggestions to us as it was our first time here. We really wanted to try the she crab soup which she even brought a taste out in a little cup for us to try before ordering. She also mentioned that the same recipe of the soup was used to make the grab dip. Since there was a group of us we decided to go with the dip. While it was okay... we all definitely should of ordered the soup. The drip's topping was not tasty and through the whole vibe of it off. For our entrees we ordered the crab mac and cheese, the chicken alfredo, and the seafood boil. We were completely disappointed by it all! First the mac and cheese was absolutely disgusting and the piece of seafood in it were barely to be seen. The chicken alfredo's sauce was from a jar and you could tell it was not made in house (tasted like the one from Preggo), and the seafood boil while looking appetizing was overcooked and included veggies that were not fresh not not steamed at the same time. For some reason it also came with a side of cheese that I could not understand either. Overall, it was a total disappointment and the only way I would come back to this location would be for their she crab soup. The staff was friendly and they have an awesome vibe in the restaurant it was an absolute shame we could not make this our go-to restaurant while visiting.

We began our meal with calamari, which was served promptly and accompanied by a tasty sauce. The pungo fried chicken, although slightly overcooked, was enjoyable. Despite the unusual choice of chicken at a seafood restaurant, (I always do it, I don't know why) it paired nicely with the garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. The seafood platter was satisfactory overall, though one of the scallops was a bit gritty, the others were fine. The mac and cheese stood out for its richness. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The decor was fun and enhanced the experience.

Great seafood choices!This is a place you need to venture to if you're in the Virginia Beach area. It's worth the 30 min drive from the boardwalk. An extensive menu of many creative seafood options, the basic ones, and plenty of stuff for landlubbers. Our server was wonderful and quietly hooked us up with a birthday dessert (key lime pie!). It's a very casual joint as is most of the VAB area so come in your trunks and flip flops to enjoy drinks and beers alongside some great apps and entrees. Oh, and DO. NOT. SKIP. DESSERT. The mile high carrot cake is shareable for the whole table and the key lime pie is subtly sublime.

We live 5mins from this restaurant but surprisingly it was our first time trying lucky oyster. We came on a Friday and there was a 25min wait. I was surprised at how large the restaurant is. There were lots of seats available in the waiting area so we waited there for our table. They also have lots of merch gear available for purchase. We sat at our table and had an amazing server. I didn't catch her name though. She gave us her recommendations on drinks and entrees and checked up on us frequently. For starters we got the raw oysters and for our dinner I got the grilled salmon salad and my husband got one of their fave dishes with fried shrimp, fried oysters and fried fish bites with sweet potato fries. My salad was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband's dinner was really good as well. I was surprised this was our first time here but it's definitely not our last. We will definitely come back! Delicious food/drinks & friendly staff.

I was out of town and recently decided to try this restaurant. The staff was very nice and welcoming as soon at you come in the door. They also had matchboxes with their name on them at the door which I haven't seen in years! We got the hot crab dip, the outer banks platter, crab stuffed flounder, and chocolate volcano cake for dessert. The hot crab dip was delicious. I really liked how the seafood flavor went along with the pretzel bread. The ratio and seasoning of the frying batter made the outer banks platter really stand out. I also recommend the Mac and cheese and chocolate volcano cake if you try this restaurant!

I was reminiscing about some of my favorite spots from when I lived in Virginia Beach and realized I never left a review! Here are my long overdue 5 stars for Lucky Oyster.I'll be honest, the first time I came here, like 3-4 stars. I put it in the "just another seafood bar in a city full of great seafood bars" mental category. As I had more experiences at Lucky Oyster and the other area seafood bars, this became one of my favorites. Locally owned and operated, the Food is consistent, the drinks are great, and the staff was on it even when we came with larger groups. It can be a little busy, but it's got a "sit back, relax, and stay awhile" energy that doesn't make even the busier times feel that bad. Lexi was our go-to server - always a delight! I've moved across the country, but Lucky Oyster is on my list of spots I want to return to enjoy again during a future visit!

I was craving oysters so I made the trip out to Lucky Oyster General Booth Boulevard near the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach.They have a terrific happy hour specials menu available that offers some of their best selling dishes for a reduced price.I don't remember the exact price but I know that the oysters and wings (sold separately) are less than $1 each. If you're interested in checking out the game, they have several large screen televisions in the bar area. Just be prepared for a wait because they can and do get busy, especially during football season on Saturday and Sunday.
