Really yummy place very cozy in the winter. Really yummy. She crab soup with lots of crab and the flounder with shrimp and crab was yummy from the back. We didn’t have a cocktail, but the cocktails looked legit. You can only make reservation by calling and apparently in the summer, you need to call several days to a week in advance. They do own the two properties next-door that are open for brunch.

Walked into Tautog’s without a reservation, expecting a wait. Instead, I was seated right away — a small victory. The place sits in what feels like an old beach house, creaky floors and all, just steps from the ocean. It’s got that lived-in charm that tells you it’s been serving locals long before TripAdvisor showed up.Service was sharp — friendly without being fake — and you can tell the kitchen’s actually cooking here, not reheating. They were out of raw oysters, which was a shame, but the steamed clams made up for it — briny, tender, simple perfection. The shrimp and grits came creamy and rich with a jammy sauce that didn’t hit my personal sweet spot (I’ve never been one for mixing dessert with dinner), but the flavors were still balanced and thoughtful. The scallops, though — those were the star: seared just right, buttery centers, the kind of dish that makes you stop talking mid-bite.If you go, try a glass of Virginia wine with whatever you order. It fits the place — unpretentious, coastal, and quietly confident. A proper meal by the sea.

Tautog’s is one of the ocean front best restaurants! The atmosphere is charming, the service is attentive, warm and friendly. I watched a waiter kneel down and help a younger child decide what to order :). Then there is the food. The crab soup is the best around, hands down. We recently had a blackened mahi special, which was outstanding.

4 Stars – Came Highly Recommended
We were told that Tautog’s was a must try while in Virginia Beach, so we decided to check it out and overall, it lived up to the hype. We ordered the Corby’s original crab dip with chips, the crawfish bisque, blackened tuna, potato chip encrusted mahi, and the crab cake sandwich. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, with the exception of the crab cake. It wasn’t bad, but it had an unusual sweetness that didn’t quite appeal to my taste.
Our server, Sarah, was excellent, friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is set in a charming old beach cottage and has been a staple in the area for over 30 years, which adds to its local character and appeal.
Tautog’s is extremely popular and can get quite busy, so reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak dining hours. If you’re looking for a beloved local spot known for quality seafood and coastal charm, Tautog’s is definitely worth a visit.

We struggled a bit to find the restaurant as we were looking for a big sign. Spoiler: There is none. On the other hand, we had no problem finding excellent food and service! Mahi looked and tasted great. Strongly recommended.

If you re interested in an excellent casual coastal dining experience this is a must try ❣️

I had the Wedge salad, and it was a large portion and good. My daughter had the salmon salad, which had a large, perfectly cooked salmon. We tried the brussel sprouts bacon soup, and it was full of vegetables and flavorful. Service and atmosphere are also very nice. We look forward to our next visit to Tautogs!

One of our favorite local spots, do not get there enough however when we have a chance, we are reminded how much we miss the food, especially River’s tuna stack if available. Just a local treasure. Always make reservations, always booked with locals for a reason.

Our second time here; the last time was years ago, and we came back intentionally!
I really enjoy the scallops barca, very delicious and interesting.
Take note, if you opt for the broccoli replacement side, it’s just a head of steamed broccoli. Pretty good, maybe a little challenging to cut. The potato side has Old Bay, if that is not for you then do avoid.
Think they may not have had all the help needed for the season just yet; it was challenging to get our check once we were ready to go.
All things considered, we still plan to come back! But may sit inside, service seemed a little better in there.

We love this local gem! Great beach vide with amazing seafood. This was a perfect spot for our 30 year anniversary date night! For starters we enjoyed the she crab soup with herb incrusted bread and the spinach and artichoke dip with warm chips. Our service was super helpful with the menu and checked on us the entire evening. We enjoyed a couple cocktails taking in the cozy atmosphere. For my main I had the special, tile fish covered in a sauce with potatoes and coleslaw. T had a Greek salad with blackened tuna. Finally we ended with the Keylime pie. Highly recommend this dinner spot for any occasion!
