best birthday ever!!

me and my friends and family went here for my 17th birthday earlier this year and had an absolutely Fantastic time! The people working brought out freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for all of us, and another one for me as it was my birthday. I had the "El Fuego" because im a sucker for anything spicy 🌶 🥵 the whole time one of my non-vegan friends was grousing "i can't believe this is vegan." didnt get a chance to try one of the milkshakes but i'm definitely going back for more that's for sure and certain!!

Pros: delicious vegan junk food, great atmosphere

Cons: not a lot of seating, expensive

Off and off

Nice to have a vegan comfort food spot but I know it could be much more tasty. I’ve been more than I’m proud to acknowledge. Ownership is friendly despite.

Pros: Variety, Comfort Food

Cons: Too much prepackaged items, Depending on staff can be dreadfully slow

Really good vegan junk food

If you’re looking for a good vegan junk food spot, don’t miss Bumbling Bee. They do a great job of making the rounds at local breweries too so plan accordingly!

Does not disappoint

My non vegan friends loved it! I would pass on the cheese fries next time but everything else was delicious.

I Want More!

My hubby and I drove over from Staunton to enjoy a quick midweek beach getaway and an opportunity to enjoy some truly delicious vegan food. We love being able to go into a restaurant and ordering anything off of the menu and not worrying that it might have flesh, butter or cow's milk in it!
My hubby ordered the Boss BBQ Bacon and Cheese with a side of potato salad. He was a happy man! I ordered the White Cheddar Chickun Bacon Ranch with a side of onion rings. I was a happy woman. That sums to two very happy people!
His sandwich was tasty (I only got one bite before he ate it all!) and had just the right amount of toppings (sauce to lettuce ratio) on it. My sandwich was perfect... the coating was crunchy and the toppings perfectly proportioned to accent the chickun... I can't think of a thing to improve it!
For dessert hubby got a carrot cake cupcake and I got a loaded brownie. He ate the cupcake (no bite for me) so I can't tell you how it was, but when I asked he said it was "great". My brownie lasted me two days due to it being a generous portion... and it was a chocolate/cookie/frosting delight.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be stopping in again on our next trip to the Virginia Beach area because I want more of their delicious food!!

Pros: Amazingly good food, Easy parking, Friendly staff

Cons: We had trouble locating it at first., The hours on Google wrongly listed them "closed".

Go here as a carnivore and leave as a vegan. Build America back better.

Highly recommended

For anyone who thinks vegan food is just healthy food, you would be wrong. It can be any kind of food you’re in the mood for and Bumbling Bee is making some awesome bar food that is just as good as any Bar and Grill food you have ever had. Also, they do have gluten free bread if you need it. I had the best bbq sandwich with potatoe salad and a peanut butter milkshake. If you are ever in VA Beach I highly recommend this place!

Pros: Gluten free options , Lots of vegan options, Big portions

Cons: Need smaller size options for the poutine, Packaging could be more environmentally friendly

Good gosh the flavor!

Tried the Shitake burger, poutine fries, chili fries and their cookie dough brownie...🤤🤤🤤 Amazing!!! We're here on vacation for the weekend and plan to eat here everyday before we leave, trying everything on the menu!

The ONLY issue is it's pricey!! It cost $43 for just me and my husband to eat lunch.

Pros: All plant based , Plant based milk shakes!!!

Cons: Expensive

Great vegan fast / junk food and shakes!

A little pricey but good food. They serve Beyond burgers and various vegan fast food / junk food options. Everything is tasty. Especially the SHAKES! SO GOOD! They also have a variety of seltzer with CBD. My only real gripe is the price but worth going.

Pros: All vegan, Great shakes , Tasty food

Cons: Expensive

Love the options

Love how many options there are! Took me a while to decide on what I wanted, I ended up getting one of the chili dogs which was pretty good! I really am in the search of a delicious cheese sauce though!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Social media presence notifying location, Affordable

Cons: The cheese sauce and Mac needs more flavor

Impressive Vegan Selection

But the Mac and cheese lacked flavor and was watery this past weekend. When you buy food out it should be better than your home boxed Mac and cheese.

My experience from The Bumbling Bee

The Bumbling Bee is an all vegan food truck that serves 100% funk-free vegan food. They do obviously put extra love and caution into what they prepare and how they treat their consumers. I will always be a fan of The Bumbling bee!

Pros: Delicious and fresh , The owner is very welcoming and bubbly, They Will accommodate anybody!

Cons: I’m addicted and can’t stop eating there now, Too many great choices I had to get them all, They don’t pull up to my drive way everyday.
