My favorite part of the menu, hands down, has to be the 101 International Beers from Around the World! I've tried an assortment at this point, and since it was a very American holiday I went with a domestic brew called, Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar, a 22 Ounce bottle and after having drank a Flat Tire at the beach earlier in the day it was the perfect lunch beer. Not too heavy but definitely dark, slightly roasted taste from the hazelnuts I would guess, and just the right amount to last the entire meal!
Of course our meal is the main reason for this review... right? I went for the french dip with au jus sauce and sweet potato fries, while Laura went for the veggie burger and regular fries and we split a mozzarella stick appetizer. The moment our food came out Laura remarked how it was "old fashioned" which she proclaimed to be a "good" thing. She also had to say of the burger that it was everything you could want in a veggie burger and that the fries were perfect beach fries.
My sandwich was just as perfect, the roast beef was warm all the way through, the dipping sauce was delicious and the sweet potato fries were a treat. The "old fashion" that Laura has perceived is simply the choice not to add something to an already perfect equation. Abbey Road Pub makes food the way it's supposed to be made, in the fashion that it has been made for decades without trying to 'spice it up" which many times causes the food to go down hill.
They choose the best ingredients, served with the freshest sides and the most diverse selection of beer I've seen in along time, what else could someone ask for after a tiring afternoon underneath the sun listening to the waves crash in Virginia Beach.
