I love coming here. It's right near work, so I try to come often. They have very fresh seafood in season, and a wide variety of sandwiches and wraps. We've also hosted get-togethers here and the management is always very accomadating, even with a low budget! It's even more fun in the summer. Great Happy Hour as well- I like... More

We had lunch at Captain Groovy's earlier this week and we were so impressed that we are going back for dinner tonight! Very fresh, flavorful dishes! Highly recommend!

I stayed in the area for a night before an early flight. It's an odd up and coming area that is near the beach but very residential. I really had no clue where to go eat but passed this place and thought what the heck. Boy, I wasn't disappointed. They have a fantastic happy hour with 1/2 Beers, Oysters and... More

Went twice in one week if that will tell you how pleased we were with everything! Oysters raw and steamed were both good. BUT watch for shell, as they seem to splinter a bit with opening. Not sure exactly the variety of oysters, may be related to that and not the person in the kitchen. Happy hour prices ROCK. Oysters,... More

I have eaten here a a handful of times and it might be the last. The food was ok, but the service was not that great. It was not busy, but it took forever to get a drink or place our order. I watched our food sit under the hot lamp for a bit as they tried to figure out... More

We always get take-out from Captain Groovys when visiting Norfolk! The tuna tacos are great...large portions so be careful on that! All seafood is fresh!

My wife and I have been going to Groovy's since it opened up. 3 miles and 4 stoplights from my house. The food is great--they have new specials every week, along with a consistent menu. The Chef, Dave, is really imaginative. Happy hour is 4-7pm every day (yes, weekends, too) with half price mussels, oysters, etc. Good selection of beer... More

After multiple visits, this is officially one of my "go to" choices. Tuna tacos are delicious, beer selection is good, setting is casual. If you want, you can make a meal out of nachos. Everything I've ever eaten here is delicious, from Nicoise Salad to Portobello Burger to Seared Tuna to Raw Oysters - all tasty, all served with a... More
