A beloved Virginia Beach raw bar and dive bar hybrid on the resort strip, Big Sam’s delivers cold oysters, cold beer, and the honest, no-frills raw bar experience that the beach town’s more polished establishments have mostly abandoned. Fried seafood, steamed shrimp, raw oysters by the dozen, and the kind of unpretentious dive bar warmth that makes Big Sam’s a reliable local favorite and a welcome discovery for visitors who know what a real raw bar looks like.
