Chix on the Beach

Chix on the Beach is a restaurant in Virginia Beach, VA. It serves seafood, burgers, and steak to locals and vacationers, with outdoor seating available on the boardwalk. The establishment has been a fixture at the oceanfront for over 40 years, earning a rating of 4.40 based on 6,289 reviews.

The restaurant’s history dates back to the early 1940s, when the current owner’s family opened a restaurant called Chix across the street, serving hamburgers, chicken, and hot dogs. In the 1950s, a second restaurant, the Sun-N-Fun Bathhouse Grill, opened on the exact spot where Chix on the Beach stands today. Laverne Burlage opened his first seafood shack in 1977, and in 2015, Mike and Mariah Standing, owners of Waterman's Surfside Grille, purchased the business from Burlage. The current operation blends long-standing traditions with newer recipes. The restaurant offers a kid's menu all day, along with lunch, dinner, late night, and drink menus. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor south patio Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 4 PM, while evenings and weekends remain dog-free to ensure safety. Service animals are always invited.
