Pretty good burger and great fries.
The beef patty reminds me of Burger King when I was a kid. The toppings seemed crisp and fresh and they were not sloppy with the mayo.
The fries were excellent. They had just the right amount of crisp with fluffy potato goodness after that snap. They were well salted and piping hot, just like the burger.
This is a burger stand but you can see inside and it looks very clean and like a Fifties McDonald kitchen.
The staff were friendly without that insincere "my pleasure " nonsense.
It would be unfair to the other restaurants that I have Love Affaires with to say that Aldo's is my happy place but ahhhh the Bar the Bar.
So many memories when I would come here when I was young, and now passing the finish line of early middle-age to middle-age new memories. And the best Manhattan in the city of VA Beach.
Nobody actually wants to be in a position to have to call an Exterminator but sometimes you have to. Call Bug-Masters and you will be glad you did.
Jon knows his business and the contracts he offers are great for new home owners-like me.
Much of what he offers is safe for pets too.
Glad to do business with Jon and his company.
So, it pains me to wright this. This used to be such a great restaurant when I was young.
Now, merely youngish, it has failed me for the last time. Two disappointing trips were enough.
Want to make Ceviche? Want to elevate it? Apparently the trend in the local food scene is toss an amalgamation of seafood into a dishwater style broth imprisoned within a stemless martini glass.
Serrano Ham and Manchego Grilled Cheese Sandwich. OK, I'll bite, Maybe they wanted something simple. How does one fail at making grilled cheese? They found a way: Don't grill it. Just take some doughy "Spanish country bread" and through melted cheese and ham in there. No, really. Don't butter the bread or put it anywhere near a griddle.
The Empanada. OK, this has got to be good. The Empanada tasted quite good but it wasn't an Empanada. I don't know why they put Beef Bourguignon inside puff pastry and call it an Empanada. I mean it, it tasted like beef Bourguignon. What chorizo?
A brief mention of cocktails would be we had some colored water with a dash of ever clear.

Paul, i am sad to see this review. I do not enjoy hearing that our guests did not enjoy their visit. I apologize you did not have a good meal that you expected from Bodega. We hope that you will give us another shot at proving to you that we are a good restaurant with caring staff and delicious food.
We strive to do better every day.
What a wonderful place.
You walk into a scrupulously clean resteraunt. But it is dated. It is so dated and stark that I love it. It was like something out of "Pulp Fiction" or "Better Call Saul". Do ambulance chasing lawyers and lonely car salseman eat here? They do if they like tasty, Chinese food.
The staff is so friendly. A happy, smiling and egar man was behind the counter. He offered forks, napkins, hot mustard, duck sauce and to take my order.
I ended up with beef lo mein, vegetable egg rolls and a can of Pepsi. I was given a styrofoam cup of ice. So happy.
The egg rolls were a great mix of crispy and doughy. They were stuffed with bokchoy!
The beef in the noodles was a very lean cut and sliced just right. It was a balance of salty and garlic goodness. The veggies were crisp and it had bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots for God's sake.
I ate myself into a weekend food coma. So good.
I will be back. This place is a hidden gem.
