Blue Pete's Restaurant

The overview

Creekside dining deep in Pungo

Blue Pete's is a hidden-away seafood restaurant in the rural Pungo section of Virginia Beach, tucked on the water off Muddy Creek Road. Diners find their way down back roads for fresh local seafood, the famous sweet-potato biscuits, and marsh views from the deck at sunset.

A longtime Tidewater tradition, Blue Pete's rewards the drive with a genuinely off-the-beaten-path waterfront setting and Chesapeake cooking that keeps regulars coming back.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Blue Pete's Restaurant cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
