VA: My Go-To Burgers in Hampton Roads

SHARE ON

My favourite burger spots in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and more.

As a self-proclaimed burger enthusiast, I’ve eaten my way through Hampton Roads in search of that perfect patty. While I wouldn’t call this a definitive “best burgers” list, these spots are my personal favourites so far! Let’s dive in.

1. LeGrand Kitchen - A Classic, Perfected

LeGrand Kitchen’s burger isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. Famous for its simplicity done right, this burger comes slathered in a house sauce that rivals the Big Mac but is exponentially better. Come here for a juicy patty, soft sesame flecked bun and that addictive roasted shallot mayo keeps me coming back. It’s no wonder this burger has become iconic in Norfolk. PS. Be warned, this doesn't come with fries - and I actually prefer it that way. It leaves more room to just savour the burger goodness.

2. Frank and Patty’s – a smash hit in Virginia Beach

Frank and Patty’s smashed burger took Virginia Beach by storm when they launched last summer and for good reason. This spot knows how to create the perfect smash: crispy edges, gooey cheese, and all the nostalgic flavours of a backyard cookout (whilst eating in their own backyard!). The vibe is casual but the flavours are anything but.

Visit them here.

3. The Coach House – A Tuesday night ritual

Sometimes, you just want a no-frills, all-flavour burger and Coach House delivers exactly that. Their classic burger, aka the "Igloo Burger", is comforting and familiar, but what sets this spot apart is their famous Burger Night. Every Tuesday from 4:30 to 9 pm, the place comes alive with burger lovers. It’s a ritual you won’t want to miss.

4. Barrel 17 – For the Adventurous Burger Lover

Barrel 17 boasts a menu of over 15 creative, well-thought-out burgers. And yes, the burger served with a knife down the middle might seem dramatic - but I love the pizzas and added drama of it all! I have only visited their laid back Virginia Beach spot, but I head there is one in Norfolk too.

5. Baker’s Wife – Lamb Burger Bliss

This charming restaurant is tucked away in a corner spot in Phoebus and stole my heart from the very first visit. The place hosts musicians, jazz nights and much more. On my visit, we sat at the bar and tucked into their incredibly tasty Lamb Burger. Honestly I don't need any excuse to come back here over and over again though, but that burger is definitely a draw!

To visit, head here.

Other highly recommended: Omar's Carriage House has a Wagyu Brie Burger that is well worth trying too!

Do you have a burger spot I should try out? Let me know!
