Three Notch'd Brewery & Craft Kitchen - Virginia Beach

There was no waiting. The service was great. The drinks were tasty and the food was amazing. Great place for a happy hour or catching up with friends.

We've been coming to Three Notch'd Brewery for 3 years--at one point, it was a weekly tradition. The beer has always been top-tier, but the food used to be pretty mid. That changed last summer when we had one of the best meals we'd ever had there. We brought a party of eight, and every single person loved their food. I was blown away by the onion jam on the burger, and the fry on the apps was next-level.Unfortunately, this time didn't live up to that experience. Our first server was fine--not the most engaged, but I get it, we were the last table, and she wasn't getting tipped out. Still, a little effort goes a long way. The second server, who's usually a blast, just didn't seem into it.Now for the food... it was not what I was expecting. The pretzel bites were definitely different, and I could immediately tell they've switched to a palm/canola-based oil, which I'm unfortunately allergic to. I didn't think to ask because I've never had an issue here before, but I definitely felt it after. The Brussels sprouts were also a letdown--not fried, but steamed, which was wild because, in the four years I've been coming here, they've always been fried. They'd be so much better crisped up in literally any other oil.Overall, the beer and cider were still fire, but the food has really taken a step back. It seems like there's a new chef in the kitchen, and I have no idea what's going on. Hope they can turn it back around because I know they're capable of better!

We stopped in for a bite since Cheesecake Factory had a long wait. My better half thought of having an appetizer, and a drink before heading back over the bridge. The Hostess and waitress were very welcoming, and kind. We were immediately seated with menus and water. The hubs ordered nachos with chicken, and I opted for a bowl of crab soup. It was moderately quiet inside, and it was nice to see an open kitchen. The beer came out first which was Virginia made:) I forgot the name, but it tasted good.So honest option on the nachos. It was ok. The salsa was placed on the top, and bottom with sour cream, which made half of it soggy. The chips were standard not freshly made. There was an overwhelming amount of sour cream and some disproportionate cheese mixed into it. The chicken was from the thigh with many areas of it being slimy. Perhaps it needed to be cooked longer... I'm not sure. We dislike wasting food...so we ate it.The crab soup had a nice amount of meat. It felt thick, and at times congealed. There was nice flavor. Maybe we came on an off time.

Decided to try something a little different on a Friday evening, so I stopped into Three Notch'd Brewery around 8pm and thankfully, it wasn't busy at all. Since the sign at the entrance mentions 'wait to be seated', I did just that for about 5 mins but unfortunately, no one came to the front to seat me. I walked over to the bartender and asked if I could sit anywhere and she guided me to a booth.The menus are on a QR code and since the Crab Cake Sandwich really stood out, I decided to order that with sweet potato fries. The waiter came over pretty quickly and she was very nice. For drinks, I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was fantastic. I'd never had that flavor drink and it was great. The Lemon Drop cocktail was also surprisingly good. It's their own branded drink in a can and it was very refreshing. The food came out fairly quickly and overall, it tasted very good. The crab cake was flavorful and paired really nicely with the aioli. The toasted brioche bun was soft and warm but after eating half, I took the bun off to thoroughly enjoy the crab cake. The sweet potato fries were great as well. Our waiter checked on us through out the night, which I enjoyed. Overall, I really loved the vibe of this place. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. With the large dining area and the seating outside, I'm sure this restaurant will be packed once the weather warms up.

Great service, good food, above average beer. Also, though it wasn't needed on a cold night in January, it is also a huge plus that you can make a reservation here.The BEACH STREET NACHOS - Fried corn tortilla chips, fire roasted salsa, charro beans, pickled jalapenos, sour cream, & 40 mile cheese sauce + house-made chili, were very good. The THAT'S A GOUDA BURGER - Grilled beef patty topped with smoked gouda & swiss, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, crispy jalapeno straws, & freedom sauce, was very good too though I am not sure what freedom sauce is and that's okay.The place is Untappd friendly so choosing a flight of four brews was super easy. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, the place was great. Five stars? Not sure how you can get to five stars for a place like this. Maybe having beer outstanding enough to be a destination in itself?

** GREAT FOR KIDS!! **Duke of clouds is my all time favorite! Dirty Rice Bowl was surprisingly delicious and loaded with veggies. Service was slow but the manager did check on us often. Typical brewery ambiance. Loud and family friendly atmosphere.

Conveniently located in Town Center, this is a pretty underrated spot to get dinner and drinks with friends. The burgers were decent size and pretty tasty. They are of course a brewery, so they have different types of craft beers, but they also have quite a cocktail menu. I really enjoyed the Paloma I got here. The service was a little spotty. We were seated right away, but once seated we were rarely checked on. But they could've been understaffed or really busy etc. I'll def be back!

First time eating at this restaurant but I can assure you, it won't be the last. It a nice space with a cool vibe. It was a beautiful day and a lot of the patrons were eating outside. We decided to eat indoors because it was less crowded. I chose the rice bowl and it was amazing. Perfect combination of all ingredients. I highly recommend it. My granddaughter got the quesadilla. It's only on their lunch menu but they were very accommodating since she's vegetarian. My daughter had the veggie burger and she said it was good. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was super nice and very attentive to our dining needs. Will definitely come back with the hubby.

Brewery in Virginia Beach town center. We didn't get anything to eat but the food looked good. They have a large bar with lots of TVs. Also lots of seating. The vibe is super cool and the service was great. They have lots of their own beers and their own liquors too! They have wine and other options. A cool spot for sure!

Beer is ok. Food was average. It's just a brewpub and nothing stands out. I had a burger with a bunch of whacky stuff on it. But it didn't blow me away. As a matter of w, I ordered it medium and it came out well-done. So that's a miss. Server was nice, but she wasn't able to determine if any of the beers were gluten free when asked by someone in my party. Probably won't go back on my own.
