Doc Taylor's Restaurant

Doc Taylor's Restaurant is a beloved Virginia Beach institution located at 207 23rd Street on the oceanfront. Famous for serving the best affordable breakfast on the beach, this charming eatery offers breakfast and lunch whenever they're open, from 7am to 2pm Friday through Monday. The restaurant is the little brother of the iconic Tautog's seafood restaurant, which sits right next door, and both have been serving locals and tourists for decades. Doc Taylor's signature dish is the Doc Taylor Sandwich, a mouthwatering combination of fried egg, bacon, cheese, and grilled parmesan tomatoes on an onion roll, served with grilled potatoes. The classic east coast breakfast featuring two eggs any style, French toast and bacon remains a customer favorite. Their Bloody Marys are renowned throughout the area, and the restaurant offers a full bar with Mimosas and even Dom Perignon for those seeking a luxurious treat. The space is steeped in history - the building was once a pink motel where Doctor Taylor himself set up his medical practice and residence. Today, photos and memorabilia on the walls tell the story of the building's transformation. With over 2,800 reviews averaging 4 stars, Doc Taylor's continues to deliver an Allstar cast of cooks and servers who quietly deliver exceptional comfort food that satisfies the soul.
