What People Say...

"Crab Nachos!"

“Delicious food, relaxed and friendly place - only had the crab nachos (no room for anything else, as much as I wanted to). Will be back to try the entrees.”

Matthew Brill June 10th - 8:21 PM

"A Virginia Beach Must Do"

“We love Tautog's and are so happy they have "weathered the storm"! We absolutely can't go to Virginia Beach without a meal there. This time it was fantastic starting with some oysters and then on to my very favorite Stuffed Flounder in a bag. Chris is a an awesome server and steered my wife to the salmon salad which she absolutely loved. As yes, I stole some of her steamed shrimp!”

Bill H @ Tripadvisor Roanoke, Virginia
"Great food and service!"

“10 people and a dog was no problem for this wonderful restaurant. We sat outside, and enjoyed drinks, dinner, and dessert. Quiet (other than the occasional overhead jet) atmosphere. Large portions and good prices for delicious food.”

Jennifer901 @ Tripadvisor Memphis, Tennessee
"Fantastic dinner!"

“Our first visit to Tautog's. Sat on the porch, terrific setup and service all evening. Ordered the Shrimp & Jalapeno Cheese Grits. Well seasoned and the grits were creamy with perfect level of kick, really complemented the shrimp. And it was all naturally gluten-free (I have Celiac so this was really important). My husband ordered the catfish po'boy sandwich and really enjoyed it. Servers were attentive without hovering. Can't wait to go back!!!”

"Overall, the best experience in VA Beach"

“Always outstanding. Fine dining with a beachy, casual atmosphere. Ordered and received exactly what I wanted. Cup of soup of the day—omg. Mushroom and asparagus. Hard giving up the she-crab soup but made a good choice. Wanted only one “appetizer” crab cake. Too much lunch for full meal. Accommodated, as always, even tho not on the menu. Husband’s tuna outstanding. Drinks were wonderful. Best part of the meal experience, tho? Our cute as a button server, Jessie. Sprite, happy, accommodating, professional. Great place!”
