Though Virginia Beach is famed for its local crab and fresh catches from the Chesapeake Bay, the New England-style lobster roll has found a dedicated following here.

Whether you crave the chilled, mayonnaise-dressed “Maine style” or the warm, butter-drenched “Connecticut style,” several eateries cater to this specific seafood desire.

The area’s focus on quality seafood ensures that these rolls, often featuring sustainably sourced lobster, are a delicious coastal treat far from their original New England home.
