Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Portsmouth

"According to them, a Waterman's bartender invented the drink made from fresh squeezed orange juice, orange vodka, triple sec, and Sprite in 1981. I would recommend checking out the summer concert calendar for the 5th Street Beach Stage because the top deck of Waterman's is the perfect location to watch summer concerts with both the view and easy access to great food and drinks."

"The guides will supply everything you need to reel in your big catch (and Waterman’s Surfside Grille will even cook it for you). You holding a 14-pound bluefish?. Your Instagram will thank us later. Added bonus: You might just spot a pod of dolphins splashing by the side of the boat."

"For soul-satisfying fare that gives a nod to our Southern culinary roots, look no further than the Oceanfront, where you’ll find Doc Taylor's. This one-time doctor's home serves up delicious comfort breakfast and lunch food, Bloody Marys and mimosas. This spot is such a locals' favorite, that the menu features several items named for regular customers."

"At Doc Taylor's, you'll find delicious beach favorites in a casual atmosphere with friendly staff. From the outside, you'll be surprised that this cottage style house is actually a restaurant. But this is what makes the cozy, homey feel of this restaurant that everyone loves!"

"is housed within the walls of a 140-year-old church right in the heart of the city. Although the venue is now dedicated to great food rather than matters of the spirit, the stained glass windows, high ceilings and a huge, round fresco painting on the wall bring a touch of the divine to this casual tavern. The fare here is simple yet satisfying, with all-American classics taking pride of place."

"Opening their doors in 1939, Steinhilber’s is the oldest family-owned restaurant in Virginia Beach, and for good reason. While their huge outdoor patio, with fire pits, string lights, and water views was added fairly recently, it has only added to the grandeur and elegance of this Virginia Beach staple, who also gets our vote for best-fried shrimp in the area."

"Small and unassuming, this place serves up fresh, local seafood, like Big Sam’s Hot Blue Crab Dip (blue crab is a Va Beach delicacy) and Fresh East Coast Oysters served raw or steamed.

"For an easy, rugged dirt trail with some beautiful photo opportunities, look no further than the Pleasure House Point trail. Situated close to the shoreline in a marshy area, this sunset favorite offers fabulous bird watching opportunities on its 2.3 mile stretch of trail.
