Flip Flops Grill and Chill on Upton Drive in Virginia Beach has been serving the kind of fresh seafood and casual pub food that earns a resort city restaurant its year-round loyal following since it opened, combining Virginia Beach’s access to fresh Atlantic seafood with a pub food menu that keeps the local community coming back well beyond the summer tourist season. It appeared in Season 13, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Family Matters,” which aired February 6, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Virginia Beach kitchen doing fresh seafood and scratch-made pub food with the quality that earns a neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation.

What to Eat
The Crab Cake with jumbo lump Virginia Blue crab is the coastal signature — made properly with more crab than filler and served with house-made remoulade. The Fish Tacos with fresh Atlantic fish, slaw, and chipotle crema are the beach-town crossover item that regulars add to every visit. The Shrimp Po-Boy on a toasted roll with house-made sauce is the sandwich that earns its own following. The Pub Burger on fresh-ground beef with creative toppings is the option for the non-seafood crowd at the table. Find a Virginia Beach hotel on Travelocity.
