FishTails by Ocean's
About This Spot
FishTails by Ocean's feels like a natural extension of Virginia Beach’s vibrant boardwalk energy, where the sound of live music weaves through the salt-tinged air and the pace lingers somewhere between the relaxed and the celebratory. As you step inside, the room welcomes you with an unpretentious warmth, a mix of attentive service and the easy rhythm of good company. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors alike find a spot to settle in, whether on the breezy patio or cozy inside, under a soundtrack that’s at once familiar and full of surprises.
Here, the menu serves more than just food — it offers a reflection of this coastal community’s diversity and comfort. You might find yourself starting the day with the comforting hush of pancake stacks or the lively spark of a Bloody Mary, while evenings invite you to dive into the rich layers of She Crab Soup, catch a fresh catch like Coconut Encrusted Flounder, or savor a playful mix like Chicken and Waffles. This is a spot where seafood takes center stage but shares the stage generously with global inspirations and thoughtful pairings, inviting you to explore flavors that feel both rooted and whimsical.
The true magic of FishTails, though, may be found in the human moments—the bartender who remembers your favorite drink and keeps the mood buoyant, the music that carries a casual night into a shared experience, and the way the restaurant sits right in the heart of this lively stretch, just a breath away from Neptune’s watchful gaze. Whether you’re seeking a leisurely breakfast, a restorative afternoon break, or a lively evening out, FishTails by Ocean's offers a place to pause, taste, and feel a part of this coastline’s everyday story.

We were looking for a place to eat tonight, along the boardwalk, and fell upon fishtails! Decided to check it out and glad we did! They had live music playing, not sure if they have it every night, but they were really good! They have really great food, located right in the middle of the strip a hop and skip to Neptune, easy to get to! We got the watermelon Fresca and the whisky blast! Great drinks! We got the fish and chips, and the raw oysters, and the were both very good! The fish and chips is very tender and easy to eat, not too fried and loaded with breading!! Our server Kaylee, was really good, college student from VA Tech! She was very attentive and polite!! We highly recommend and we would be back!!

We came in from Texas looking for a local hang out spot. Walking in Kyle took us in like his friends. He took care of every need we had from needing lotion, a heater, vape charger, literally ANYTHING. Def the best bartender we have ever had. They had Cody James playing some amazing music which just set the whole mood! We had the mozzarella triangles and oysters and both were perfection. Best Crush drink that we’ve had also. Can’t say enough great things about this place!

Great place for breakfast. We had the breakfast croissant which was amazing. Mimosas were great too. The staff was very pleasant and present. The atmosphere is great with the patio seating. I would recommend everyone to at least give Fish Tails a shot.

This restaurant is INCREDIBLE. I was trying to take my parents out for seafood and found Fishtails online. I was immediately intrigued by the menu. My parents are very picky in some ways. When we walked in I was a little nervous they wouldn't like it because it doesn't look fancy on the inside. But MY GOSH when the food arrived. It was SO GOOD. We all finished every speck on our plates! I had the crab stuffed flounder. It was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Definitely will be back!

We went for the "Potions Class" they had special for Halloween. The set up was great as was the service, despite seeming to be short staffed for the night. The food was tasty but was smaller than expected. Not sure if that is normal there or just because it was a special event. Other than that, everything was great!
