George's Seafood buffet & Harpoon Larrys

In all the summers I have spent in Virginia Beach, there are two places I always visit when I am there. One to eat, one drink and both within 5 minutes walk of each other.

George's Seafood Buffet, on the cross section of 26th street and Atlantic Avenue is my favourite seafood restuarant in the area. The buffet has always been good when I have been there and the menu also good. Food is usually served quite fast, service good overall and lots of seafood on the buffet. Say Paul Symonds sent you and ask for a small discount!

After a meal in George's I always love going to Harpoon Larry's on the corner of 24th street and Pacificn avenue. Fusball, friendly service and try oyster night (perhaps on a different day to George's). You can call George's on (757) 422-4098. Bon appetite!
