501 N Birdneck Road / Virginia Beach / 757.937.5011
What does it mean to be a "Southern" kitchen?
Lots of fresh veggies and bubbly hot mac & cheese? Check. The sweet smell of banana pudding or peach cobbler? Of course. Duke's Mayo by the gallon? You know it. Thick cut bacon, fried green tomatoes and mile high corn bread? Duh. Messes of greens and beans, hot wings and pork belly burnt ends? Yep. Throw in some fresh cut meats, ocean fresh seafood, warm your belly casseroles, blue plates and cajun pastas and you start to get the idea.

Southern cookin' makes you good lookin'
A real southern girl should own an iced-tea pitcher and a deviled-egg plate
​
​
But here at 501 North we also know that some of the best southern food was inspired and brought to our shores by the immigrants that make up this here melting pot we call 'Merica. French, Creole, Italian, African, Greek, Asian, Irish, Spanish, the list goes on.
Their influence helped create what we now commonly refer to as "Southern" food
and we hoped our opening menu honored the recipes of the South.
​
Although we still try hard to offer a wide selection, COVID came to town early last year and it seemed we had to say good bye to our large menu as quickly as we introduced it.
Since then, we've tried our best over the past year to bring back some of
your favorites and will continue to do so as things eventually get back to some
semblance of normal...whatever that even means in a new post Covid world.
​
In the meantime, we are so grateful for all the support and patience you
all have shown us through what has been a hell of a challenging time for all of us.
​
As we all know too well, masks and social distancing are
still mandated and we thank you in advance for your continued cooperation.
We will continue to to do our best to keep you and our employees safe at 501
and appreciate your help by doing your part.
​
We hope and look forward to 2021 being a much better year ahead for all of us.
May God bless you and this beautiful country we call home.
