Stony's Dockside Bar and Grill

Stony's Dockside Bar and Grill sits gracefully along the marina in Norfolk's Ocean View neighborhood, offering guests an unforgettable waterfront dining experience. Established in August 2019 by Stony and Laura Johnson, this beloved restaurant brings a taste of New Jersey hospitality to coastal Virginia. The Johnsons relocated from South Orange, New Jersey, where they successfully operated another Stony's restaurant for 35 years before falling in love with the laid-back Ocean View lifestyle. The restaurant boasts a beautifully crafted interior designed by Kevin Cunningham of Cunningham Design and Build, whose woodworking expertise is evident throughout the space. Chef Ronnie Brown leads the kitchen, bringing decades of Tidewater culinary experience from prestigious venues including 501 City Grill, 456 Fish, and The Porch. He is supported by Sous Chef Rodney Bracy, an Ocean View native. The menu features mouth-watering seafood creations, perfectly prepared steaks, and an array of appetizers that keep patrons returning. Sports enthusiasts flock here for Penn State game days and NFL Ticket showings, creating an electric atmosphere. The Happy Hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm, offering excellent deals on drinks and small plates. Weekend brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm. With 676 reviews earning a stellar 4-star rating, Stony's Dockside has quickly become a Norfolk landmark where great food, refreshing beverages, and breathtaking marina views converge.
