Blue Pete's Restaurant
Best Hidden Gem in Virginia Beach · VA
Creekside dining deep in Pungo
Blue Pete's is a hidden-away seafood restaurant in the rural Pungo section of Virginia Beach, tucked on the water off Muddy Creek Road. Diners find their way down back roads for fresh local seafood, the famous sweet-potato biscuits, and marsh views from the deck at sunset.
A longtime Tidewater tradition, Blue Pete's rewards the drive with a genuinely off-the-beaten-path waterfront setting and Chesapeake cooking that keeps regulars coming back.
