Barrel 17: Your Go-To Spot for Great Burgers and Craft Beers

As a lifetime local, (and major foodie) i can confidently say these are by far the best burgers at the beach. I've been a frequent customer for 3 years and the consistency in quality and service is what always brings me back. Each staff member will treat you like family and the service is unmatched. Their happy hour is 11am-6pm with draft beers for $4 a piece, which is perfect for those who want to stop by for an affordable drink well below the costs of those on the oceanfront. If you are in the area and want a quality meal, i couldn't recommend a better spot than barrel 17.

Food is fabulous and service is outstanding. Brings in a hip local crowd and opens early on Sundays for football with an appetizer menu during the off season. Always clean and inviting. Can't wait to go again! Burgers are great!

Food was excellent!! Service was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend you visit. The ambiance was warm and inviting.

What delicious burgers! We started with the Fried Pimento Cheese and Pickles. Yum! I got the Jammin G.O.A.T. The burger was perfectly cooked served up on a light bun and topped with goat cheese (but not too much to over power) and bacon jam. So good!

Good little burger place. Lots of different items on the menu that I wouldn't mind trying if I come back to the area. Burger was very good and cooked to order. Staff is super friendly and I would absolutely go back again.

Parking lot is small, the inside is small and dark but cozy. The menu is small which I appreciate because it does not give me anxiety trying rid figure out what to order. We came here around 1pm on a Saturday in August and it wasn't packed and wasn't busy. The waitress I couldn't catch her name but she was friendly and the only way to describe her was she looks like Tori Spelling (which of course is a compliment). The food was hot and delicious. The burgers were small and I was worried because they were so small it wouldn't fill me up ,or my teenage daughter, up but I was 100% wrong the burgers packed a lunch even though small. I'm glad we found this place, not far from the oceanfront at Va Beach but it's the best food at the beach.

Located in Virginia Beach, Vibe District, this spot didn't disappoint! With many burger options, I found the Beast! This burger filled me up for the rest of the day! If you're in Virginia Beach make sure you check out Barrel 17!

As you can tell from my previous reviews that this has not been my favorite spot. I usually like the food, great location and love the bar and vibe. But the customer service is usually lacking. It's only fair that I update because I went in last night (Sunday) and it was busy. I didn't have high hopes. We sat right at the bar and Brewer took care of us. We had water and drinks immediately. We ordered food and it did take awhile to get the food but Brewer was on it!! He gave us a small portion of nachos for waiting so long. Perfection! I got the grilled cheese and brussel sprouts and my friend got just a regular ole basic burger with fries. Everything was delicious and her burger was perfectly cooked. As you can tell it's been awhile since I have been here but after tonights service and experience I might just have to start coming back more often.

I arrived here with my sons at 6:38pm on a Sunday evening with my sons, while visiting the area. I found them on Yelp. The main reason why I chose them is because they had wings that were affordable and looked good. We were able to choose our seat from what was available. There are 4 TVs present, two at the bar and two on the other wall. They do have an area for kids to play. The atmosphere is very casual as the staff were wearing casual clothes. The establishment isn't very large with about 13 tables and bar seating. there is adequate spacing between the tables. Our order was placed at 6:45pm. One of my boys got chicken tenders and fries while the other got a cheeseburger and fries. I got teriyaki bbq wings to start. At 6:55pm, I ordered my meal. I got the patty melt without the garlic mayo and sweet potatoes fries. The first set of food came at 6:59pm, which was the wings and the kid's food. They enjoyed their food. The wings were crispy and delicious. I did notice that majority of the wings didn't have sauce on one side of them. However, there was a pool of sauce at the bottom of the container when the wings were finished. I really enjoyed them. I received my patty melt and sweet potato fries at 7:20pm. The fries came out with a sweet sauce (vanilla, Carmel, bourbon, and honey). I feel the honey was overpowering the other flavors, which I didn't like. The fries tasted fine by themselves. I have mixed feelings about the patty melt. It wasn't nasty but wasn't the best I ever had. I'd probably try a different burger, if I return. Our waiter was Kyle. I overheard him tell another table, but he didn't tell us that when he sat us or began serving us. Overall, good experience. I would return. I observed great team work with the staff regarding seating guest and running out food. It stayed consistent with guest. As guest left, more came. It was never completely full, however. When we left, it was dark. They have a light on the side of the building which keeps the parking light lit, which is awesome!
