Unique Places to Eat in Norfolk, VA

In this video, we are in Norfolk, Virginia - not too far from where we once lived - and right next door to the resort city of Virginia Beach. We are going to share with you 3 unique places where we love to eat whenever we are back in the Norfolk area. We will visit a drive in diner that has served ice cream treats for over 100 years. And we will eat dinner in an old church building that was converted into a restaurant. We also enjoy a meal at a 1930s themed piano bar. Join us to take in a bit of history, a few drinks and a lot of good food.

Cool highlights. The food looked great but a bit pricey for me unless it was a special occasion like you had. I'd go for one of those waffle cones though. Awesome that it originated from there. I love a waffle cone with my favorite custard in it. So good. Have a great day.

Those first two restaurants looked very swanky! Love diners too. Thanks for the food reviews.

Doumars was my favourite of the 3, I liked hearing the history of the waffle cone.

The decor was great and the prices were very reasonable.

The Freemason Abbey glass was a very nice touch.

We enjoyed your tour of Norfolk, Jack and Alice. We actually spent a week right across the river in Portsmouth. (had a place with stunning views across) Would take the ferry over! Loved it there. All the restaurants looked wonderful and the Free Mason would be the one we'd most enjoy visiting. But, maybe we'd have three days! Thanks so much for bringing us along. Never knew there was a hot dog bun shortage in WW2. Just googled it and it seems that the buns only we're "invented" (May not be the right word) until 1940. May not have been many yet.

I have yet to visit these areas myself and look forward to doing so!!
Great video, as always, Alice & Jack!!!👏🏼👏🏼🥰

The arena looks like a UFO landed. You guys always know where to eat. This a fun place for Mother’s Day. Anything with fire seems really cool.

The church with Seafood and steak is my kind of reataurant. I was hoping to catch a reflection of you guys from the reflection of drinks. 😂. Happy Anniversary!

Very cool video and happy anniversary! These were some really interesting looking restaurants with nice dishes. I would gladly go to any of these.

[LivingtheSilverLife]

Oh my word, y’all had some amazing meals with drinks that looked amazing. Those desserts though. Amazing!

We always love your videos. So glad that you decided to showcase some Norfolk, VA restaurants. We have been to Doumar's before and loved that you featured it in your video. Great place to eat. David loves the limeade there! Of course you had to get an ice cream cone at Doumar's. We really thought the food at the Freemason Abbey Restaurant looked so good and was also reasonably priced. Appreciate all the time and thought you put into your videos. Awesome job!

I just ate at Freemason Abbey last week. They never disappoint! Excellent food and wait staff.

[FLACKFAM]

Those piano key stairs are so cool! Beautiful old church! I can’t believe they still have the original ice cream cone maker and use it! I think I want to try the last one!

Freemason Abby is really good, i enjoyed it. I visited these in my birthday.
