Willoughby By the Bay

Monday night football Free Pools !!!Cheap beer Good food Good service Nothing else needs to be said

We decided to have a last minute dinner for my friends bday. We usually go to longboards but decided to try a new spot it was a last minute decision but not a regretted one The menu is pretty basic the fried shrimp are really good. I had an order of tacos one chicken on shrimp. Obviously the shrimp was delicious but the chicken was unimpressive it was basically a chicken strip on a taco shell. I expected marinated chicken but I should of asked before ordering. The waitress was also the bartender and working the floor alone. It was a Saturday night so this surprised me a bit she was very nice and did her best to keep up. However we had to ask separately for napkins and had to remind her about our drinks a few times overall her personality made up for the lack in service hopefully they are able to add another employee on the weekends to help her The drinks were pretty tasty and had a good kick to them They also have a pool table and are right by the beach so it is a great spot to just chill out there is a gorgeous outdoor section that I look forward to taking advantage of this Summer

Best steam shrimp around. Get the Greek salad too! I promise you won't be disappointe!

The hubs and I were trying to head on home, but traffic was backed up on the 64 tunnel. We decided to burn some time at Willoughby by the bay. There was number of signs plastered on the door before entering with Covid mask rules upon entering. Every business has their right to refuse service to those that do not comply.I noticed it was dimly litted inside with a bar and a few tables. A bartender greeted us and handed menus once we were seated. I noticed The table had some water residue and crumbs. I ordered a half pound of steamed shrimp while my better half opted for shrimp tacos. Water followed once the menus were taken. There were Pre-Covid specials on a blackboard towards the back near the bar. I can understand some people's frustrations, and confusion from their reviews on not able to partake on those deals. It should state it on the blackboard or be erased, but that's up to the business itself. There was about 8 fat pieces of steamed shrimp in my order. Cuts of onion and celery were dressed on top with a side of melted butter. Unfortunately, the shrimp was not deveined, and it is a personal preference of mine not that it should be done. Otherwise it was a good snack.The shrimp tacos were ok. Shrimp was battered from a box a lady was holding earlier before entering the kitchen. And the fries were the frozen kind to accompany any fast food meal. We ate, paid, and left. I noticed a sign that non-tippers were prohibited back into their establishment since they are dependent on tips. Keep that in mind as bartenders and waitresses are struggling in the restaurant industry. The service given should be recognized unless it's bad then that is up to the customer.Don't mind coming back as things get back to normal. I believe they have live music coming in the future. Its a place to hang out with friends, and sit back while grabbing a drink.

We decided to try this place after hearing some info from friends. What a hole in the wall and everything was very good. I had the steamed shrimp and they were jumbo and very well steamed. Not soggy. Good hush puppies. Dad had the burger and it was big! He said he was actually very good. (The guy from restaurant rescue says that every place needs a good burger) husband had tuna bites (rare) and they were cooked perfectly. We joked about the good crinkle cut fries! Reminded us of Manny Burger fries. Atmosphere is nothing to write home about but go for the food, not the decor.

Bobbie hooked us up with these cute lil beers and also someone give that girl microphone cause homie can sing

Horrible service, but thankfully good food. It's incredible to to me that they continue to employ an old, outdated, disconnected from current times nasty KJ for their karaoke. He is a penny pincher and out of touch with the crowd. Now, that said, this is NOT a place to host karaoke. The layout is weird and not conducive to a performance of any kind. I suggest- they get rid of grandpa and focus 100% on the quality of the food and service. Until then, they will flounder--pun intended.

A dive bar at the very tip of ocean view in Norfolk-Simple menu with many fried options.It's a great local spot that's welcoming to everyone!!!Plenty of parking both in private lot as well as.over flow street parking when needed!Best drink prices around !Staff is so friendly and welcoming!
