Cabanas Seaside Bar & Grill

Nice spot to sit outside and eat. Not very big menu, but still a nice variety. I had the grown up grilled cheese and it was really good. My fiancée had the salmon BLT and he was happy. He had a margarita which was pretty good too.

The beachfront location is the only thing going for this restaurant. We ordered your average quick meals, which included the following: cheeseburger, kids hot dog, peanut butter and jelly, and crab cake and chicken sandwich. From the time we ordered, it took a complete hour for our food to come out. Food was no good and there is an up charge for every change you made. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I had the french fries with cheese and bacon. It was was a huge portion and they were pretty good. The restaurant is right by the beach. The waiter was slow though, ran out of water and he didn’t show up again until we were done eating.

solid service, with fair (for beach side) prices. It is even better with the 20% discount of food for SPG members (it is attached to the Sheraton). Villa our server on 2 visits was warm and friendly, and responsive to the kids. I loved their steamed shrimp with a local craft beer they had on tap. While Villa was a star, the other servers were quite good as well,
Kinda hidden, was not crowded on a Friday afternoon. Nice planting around it gives a cozy touch, while still on the boardwalk. Not a trendy hot spot, but rather a nice enjoyable beach side place for food and drinks.

For a lower cost, beach side dinner, this place isn’t bad. I would shy away from the oysters right now; they are tiny. The oysters and wings are part of their happy hour menu, and I had both. The wings were very good $ 3 for 6, sold by the 6 only.
My wife had the fish and chips andy daughter had the popcorn shrimp. They both said they were good, but to me they looked as if the oil wasn’t quite hot enough — not golden brown like I would want. Prices were lower than most others in the area, which is a relatively upscale area of VB.

Came here at 3 in the afternoon on a Tuesday for drinks and appetizers and the service was horrible. Waited a half hour for our drinks and there were only 3 other parties in the restaurant. The drinks ended up only being average and the appetizers were just average as well. Definitely not coming back here.

So, almost any ocean front bar and restaurant would get 3 stars just for being on the water, then depending on the service and food, they would get more starts. The Cabanas gets an extra star because they have good burgers, and serve local crafted beer. Not all places do, and that sometimes makes all the difference.
The only thing I really didn’t like, and never like about the ocean front places, is the premium price they put on everything because of where they are located. Yes, the view is nice, but sometimes not worth all the extra money.

We stayed at the Sheraton so we ate here a couple times, both for lunch. The first time, Mac and cheese for kids and two salads took 30 minutes and seemed to be the kitchen’s fault as our server came by pretty frequently.
The second time, it was much faster. Kids Mac, hot dog and chix fingers were great. Chopped salad was good, but I hate that they put all their salads on a very flat plate and it’s not easy to keep on the plate. We had the portobello veggie wrap which was a bit salty, but good.

You show up and everyone that works there scatters like a bunch of cockroaches. Finally had to hunt someone down to get seated only to be told seat yourself. There was us and the two tables on either side dining. All three tables had problems with their order and poor service. They gave the next table 20% off for their troubles, us an apology. No silverware, napkins with our food. The drinks stayed mostly empty, and when we asked for more, they forgot. There were five tables total with diners for three wait staff so I didn’t think that these mess ups were reasonable. My wife had to send her food back because the order was wrong. I ordered the fish and chips but be forewarned while it was good, it is really chips and fish. A pound of french fries and a small piece of fried fish as one of the most expensive things on the menu. When I asked if there was supposed to be a couple of pieces of fish I was told no. My wife’s food was fixed by having it come back with half the portion of what originally came out. Looks like they just took out the messed up parts and gave her what was left. The view is good, the food okay, but the staff needs an overhaul from the hostess (who never showed up at the hostess stand the whole evening), the wait staff, and the cooks. Oh, and do you really come back to pick up your tip while the patrons are still there? Come on. Finally, call ahead if going in the evening. They advertise that they are open until 10pm but locked the door behind us at 7pm and told anyone that came after that that they were closed.

Located oceanfront at the Sheraton. Outdoor, patio dining with a good view of the ocean. Service was ok but definitely not the best especially when there were limited people eating at the time we did. There’s one vegetarian option on the menu besides your normal salad options and it was just ok. Convenient to the Belvedere (next door).

I went down to the oceanfront to visit some friends who were staying there. One of their specialties is their fries-​I got waffle, and they were hard as rocks. We also got some wings, since it was happy hour but they were also over cooked. The service was bad too, except for the girl who was busing and working her butt off! Over priced, over cooked, over it. Go to any place around the hotels but here!

With two young sons, the Sheraton VA beach front is the most convenient option for us, only three hour driving from NOVA. We typically take out corn dogs and a couple simple dishes to the beach. Just darn convenient and surprisingly well executed, e.g. beer battered flounder.

Great burger. If I’m being super picky, the bun could be better. Tasty chips. Chicken tenders were basic but good.
