The restaurant is spacious with a very pleasant atmosphere and a fully stocked bar offering great adult beverage options. Parking can be a bit tight at the Shore Drive location, but once inside, Bay Local delivers. We visited for a company end-of-year celebration with a party of 10, and the service was excellent. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great suggestions, which made ordering easy. The appetizers were a hit! Everyone loved the Bangin’ Balls and the Poppin’ Champagne Fried Shrimp. The cucumber salad that came with the shrimp was especially delicious. No complaints at the table. For entrees, the Chicken and Waffles did not disappoint perfectly crispy waffle, tender and flavorful chicken. The Just Right Shrimp and Grits was enjoyed, my coworker mentioned the onions and peppers could have been chopped finer. The Jamaican Dark Rum French Toast was a hit, and overall everyone enjoyed their meals. Great food, great service, and a solid spot for group dining or celebrations.

Tobias- busser went the extra mile, Friendly smiled Chloe- hostess punctual straight forwards organized friendly Chantel server patient, punctual Friendly, always smiled no matter what plus she serves in a classic style of making sure everything is out in the correct place. Restaurant: clean, theme was cool with the mirrors, service and food times were incredibly fast and the food tastes like it was cooked with love. I see why it's packed even during nasty weather. And that house hot sauce is fit for anything between eggs and steak. Home fries are a staple and what most restaurants would aim to have. They use real cracked eggs, no mix. Waffles have a good flavor as well. The quality of the menu is coupled with the assortment of flavors and types of food. I give this place a high rating due to all of the charm, friendliness, and punctuation that mirrors the quality of food. I

The food was SO GOOD that I forgot to get pictures. My husband and I are from Texas but with him drilling here in Norfolk once a month, we sometimes get to check out local spots. He has been raving about this spot and I’m so glad we got a chance to have brunch here. I got the Jamaican Dark Rum French Toast and it was very good. I ordered a side of the garlic Parmesan tots and they were to die for. My husband got the Big Al for the third time because he likes it so much. I tried it and could totally get it next time. There are so many tasty options on the menu it will be heart to choose. My mother in law recently got the crab cake Bennie and raved about it as well. I’m willing to bet that you would be hard pressed to find something less than amazing on this menu. Update: we went again when I was up from Texas and it was fantastic just as it was the first time. I got the apple cider mimosa and the Willis Wharf Special which was delicious while my husband stuck with the Big Al.

If you pop in ASK FOR KENDRA!! She made us the best Carmel latte it was soooo good! We got the Crab Dip appetizer and Lobster Benedict for our entree. I added a side of the Black Forest ham for a lil bit of that Traditional Benedict taste, because i was torn between the 2. I definitely recommend 10/10!

This just might’ve became my new fav go to brunch & drinks spot! Went here Monday for birthday brunch around 1 pm; no wait time and all of the staff were friendly, communicative, and full of personality 10/10. Inside was a chill ambiance; not too loud or quiet. Started with the Parmesan spinach and crab dip (10/10) flavorful, fresh, and I loved the fried pita bread it came with; so delicious I wanted to order another serving! Also had the Fried chicken and waffle meal (8/10) I think the chicken was amazing; juicy, crunchy skin, good flavor and the tots were tasty as well. The waffle was lackluster for me though especially when I saw the chocolate chips; I was expecting them to be cooked within the waffle not just thrown on top and barely melted. The eggs needed seasoning; even with the cheese, they were flavorless. Besides those couple misses, I still enjoyed my meal. For drinks, I had the Raspberry sorbet mimosa (9/10) this was new for me and I actually really liked it. Also had a Big jumbo mimosa with cranberry juice (10/10) delicious and so fun/unique; more than enough shared between me and my sister! I also got to taste the “Baymosa” my mom had and I’m def going back for that one! Added this place to my go to spots list! Definitely coming back for sure! My overall rate of experience : 9/10
