Sometimes it’s the aesthetic of a dope place that does it for me. And that’s exactly what pulled me into Quirks for the first time one night.

The customer service was excellent too, and the menu options and prices were on point as well -- please try their beans & rice bowl -- it’s filling and delicious.

If you’re in the Hampton Roads area and looking for a great place to grab a bite, stop by Quirks and enjoy!
