RockFish Boardwalk Bar And Seagrill

The place is horrible. Worst restaurant we have ever been to because of the service. It took over an hour for our food to come and we were only a party of 3 and the meals consisted of a salad, a wrap, and lobster Mac and cheese. All the time we waited, the waitress Kelsi never refilled our drinks or offered any appetizers to keep us happy, etc.
When the food finally came over an hour later, they forgot to make my wife’s wrap. At this point we were all disgusted so I asked for the bill of which we paid and left immediately. We lost our appetite because of the aggravation. The food that did come was cold and waitress Kelsi could care less. I strongly urge you to stay away from this place because if your experience is even a quarter of the experience we had, you will be very upset. They didn’t offer anything to make us happy and hit us with the full bill. I have never scene an operation like this ever but maybe it’s the New Yorker in me. Bottom Line — stay away!

Great food! I had the Fried Shrimp. It was lightly battered and cooked to perfection. I loved the fresh veggies that came with it. My Husband had the Scallops and they were great too. I would definitely return and plan to before our trip is over.

Not sure why I gave them another chance. We were hungry and it was close I guess.
2 people in our party ordered ribs. 15 minutes we are told they are out of ribs. I ordered the Monterey chicken sandwich. Terrible. Chicken was over cooked and I asked them to hold the lettuce and tomato. Yup, they were on my sandwich. Also, no sauce on my sandwich. Can’t believe we came back. Shame on us…

My husband and I saw RockFish Boardwalk Bar and Seagrill listed in Coastal Virginia Magazine. The food was average, pricey, and the restaurant was full of flies. Because of the flies, the establishment was perceived as being less than clean. We will not dine there again.

If you want to pay for overpriced, terrible food, this place is for you! My fish and chips were TINY servings and tasted like the sole of a shoe. Fish should never be chewy. Starburst are chewy. The platters came out with ketchup only. The server was shocked when we asked for tarter sauce, lemon wedges, and malt vinegar– which was the only thing that made the fish jerky mildly palatable. I their defense these items were brought to our table with two helping of apathy for free — seriously, it didn’t even appear on our bill! Eat fast because the food quickly cools to become a tepid likeness of Putin’s sweaty armpit. If that’s what they’re going for… nailed it!
FYI, if you’re trusting of large bar signs advertising happy hours, don’t get fooled by the fancy writing and colored chalk. It is limited to a few drinks at the bar only (the more you know, rainbows, et al).

We came in Friday night after a very, very long day and I had some of the best food ever! The seafood was amazing and fresh. The wings were perfect!!! I Absolutely can not wait to come back!

Yes, a little pricey, but nice ocean view. We had a couple of drinks and an appetizer. The cheese, spinach, crab dip was amazing. Friendly server. Nice :)

We only stopped by here for a drink. The bartender wasn’t all that friendly and the drinks were really weak. The mojito tasted like sugar water. We didn’t try there food, so I can’t comment on that, but the place was just kind of boring. It did not live up to it’s name.

Bad service, very expensive for food, no have variety seafood, dirty place, the waitress, 20 minutes for orders, only 2 tables.

Food is priced well for an oceanfront bar situated right at the heart of the resort area. Ample portions and absolutely delicious. The hot wings are some of the best I’ve ever had (no, I haven’t ACTUALLY been to Buffalo.) Perfectly crispy but not breaded — just the right amount of heat. I’ve tried all of their fruit crush drinks and love them all, too.
Friendly service whether I’m at the bar or at a table. As a Beatles fan, the memorabilia and décor was icing on the cake! This is a favorite place for my friends to meet up.

This place was so terrible in its service that 2 tables, ours included, walked out without being served because in over 15 minutes after being seated, we never saw a waiter or got water. After walking out, no one even seemed to notice – what a joke of a place. Plenty of other options than overpriced service with ridiculously poor (lack of) service

Food was very good, everything was prepared properly and had great flavor.
Seating was a bit cumbersome due to the small size of the restaurant. Once seated the service was prompt and polite. Our waitress knew the menu well and was helpful.
I highly recommend the filet melt sandwich. The fries are worth the up-​charge so don’t hesitate to get them.
Wings are a great app and quick to the table.
I spent 4 nights in Virginia Beach and this was the only place that deserved to be called a restaurant.

Received no service! Decided to get dinner and drinks on Sunday 7÷26÷15 at the Rock Fish around 9pm. Walked in and the Hostess advised that if we sat on the patio, a server would be out shortly. After approx 6 mins we still hadn’t seen anyone. We walked in, asked for menus, and reminded the hostess that we were still waiting. She gave us two menus and said she would send someone right out. We waited for another 5 – 7 minutes and decided to leave. There were only two other tables out there that were occupied by drinkers, so the server couldn’t have been super busy. It’s a shame, because the live music was very good.

PRO: excellent fries, kid friendly, beautiful views with patio on Boardwalk. Food was good and reasonably priced. Allergy friendly (fish and gluten). Waitress was amazingly friendly.
CON: Watch out that the tip isn’t added to your bill. I hate when the tip is automatically added as I am not legally bound to pay a 20% tip! Even though the waitress was good that really annoys me. Also, we were a party of 7. The restaurant was mostly empty and the hostess says «we just sat all of our big tables (3) so we can’t sit you.» After she talked to the manager she sat us 7 people at a 5 person table. We then had to ask for another table added on.
Overall a good place and we would most likely come back.

Great food, awesome location and service was spot on. Thanks Kait for the awesome service and drinks. If you decide to go get the Calamari it’s the best in town.

This past weekend the family and I went down to Virginia beach to spend the Fourth of July. We decided to eat at rockfish since it was right by where we were sitting. Paige was our server and she was awesome. Not to mention the food was quite delicious. They have really changed the place for the better. I had the salmon and my daughters each had a sandwich. Needless to say we left very happy.

I eat at this restaurant 3 days a week. Their mahi tacos are the best at the beach, can’t get enough. Staff is always aware of your needs and are more than capable of providing you with excellent service.
P. s. try the crabcake sandwich

Love the food and friendly staff. The She crab soup is made fresh daily and my husband’s favorite and the .Tuna bites, and crab stack. Loved the tuna tacos. Staff is great, friendly and accommodating. Try the Cucumber mojito. .refreshing and great on a hot summer day.
Everything they make is from fresh ingredients and you can really tell. Chef Ryan, the staff and Owner Chris really make sure you enjoy your experience there.

The place is horrible this is my third time dining here we had a party of nine plus a toddler they ran out of four of our dishes didn’t tell us after a hr of ordering then they serve us shrimp tacos with two shrimp in them over an hr wait for a salad I’m a foodie not a snob I run restaurants and Dairy Queen offers better service

RockFish has a variety of sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes, and fish. I took a large group of my students there for lunch last weekend, and we were informed that it was their second day open under new management. The servers were great, but I think the restaurant has some kinks to work out still.
After we ordered, they told us that they were only supposed to take orders from the front of the menu. They didn’t know that the back was for dinner, so neither did we. The kitchen was not quite ready to prepare items from the dinner menu, so it took a while for us to get our food. We did have a large group though, so that could have added to the wait. I ordered a chopped salad with a side of risotto. I liked the salad, but I did not care for the risotto. It was in some sort of red pepper tomato sauce, and it was not at all what I expected. One of the people in my group ordered fish tacos, and she said they were bland. Some of my students ordered salads, and they said they were pretty good. A few of them also ordered calamari, which they loved. I will give them another chance, but it wasn’t my favorite.
