Beachside Bites + Mjs Catering in Port Dover

We had planned on getting ice cream after walking the pier but beachside bites sign for pumpkin spice churros w/cream caught our eye on the way out. We ordered them and got to talking with the really nice couple running the stand. Unfortunately we weren’t given the pumpkin spice & cream churros, we realized this when we got to the beach that we only got the regular ones which were a dollar-ish less. We didn’t want to walk all the way back or hassle them so we had the regular churros which were okay not enough cinnamon sugar but the caramel was great. We would go back to try the pumpkin spice ones but sadly it was their last day of the season. I’m guessing the mix up was just because we were talking while they made it.

Great food and a great owner! Service is fast and the food is fresh. Nice to have a different option in town 😊

I got the Mediterranean mixed greens salad today and the Pickle It fries a previous time and left full and VERY happy both times! Truly some of the best food I’ve ever had. Service is welcoming, warm, and always smiling! Everyone I have talked to who has eaten here has been over the moon about the food! I don’t think there’s an item on the menu that you could go wrong with. YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE!!!!

I gave this place a try because they advertised churros and I can’t find churros anywhere in Norfolk—but oh my goodness this place is so much more! Firstly, the churros are fantastic—warm, soft and chewy with a crispy exterior, served with delicious caramel sauce. We also tried the shawarma and fries and we were amazed at how good everything tasted! The chicken was seasoned beautifully and the garlic sauce was seriously incredible. The fries were perfectly done too. The owners were also super nice and happily catered to a visiting family member with severe allergies, which was really nice to see. We will definitely be adding this spot to our takeout rotation and will be trying everything on the menu!! Highly recommend Beachside Bites to locals and tourists alike!

MJs catering did my wedding of 100 people a few years ago and people are still talking about it! They were very open to my ideas of what I wanted and the price was very reasonable! We had pulled pork, corn bread, chicken, 2 salads, potatoes and it was all mouth watering! The best meal that people said they have had at a wedding. The service was fantastic! It was presented well in a very clean, organized fashion that made everything easily accessible. This is a very talented team who I would recommend to anyone for every type of catering needs! 5 stars!

MJ's Catering provided an outstanding experience for our wedding! From the cocktail hour appetizers to the main meal, they truly knocked it out of the park. We opted for brisket, mac and cheese, chicken, and veggies, and everything was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! The team was professional, attentive, and made our special day even more memorable. I can't recommend them enough!

Summery: Beachside Bites PD located on St George st right across from Willies. This shop maybe small. But the flavours are the largest in Port Dover. I asked for 3 dishes. Pickle It fries, The Slammin Shawarma and Churro's. Then I requested a 4 dish to be made at random for me to try. The Greek It fries were chosen for me. Everything is a good size for single and sharing (I can eat a lot) and the flavours are very good quality. When you are down in PD and want to grad a quick bite to enjoy on the pier or beach. Beachside Bites is the place to eat. It was a pleasure meeting Jodi and Matt today. I will be back soon enough to try more of the menu. Next menu items for me to try are Nashville Hot Chicken It, The Giant Gyro, The Buff-Chic and of course more churros. Long Notes and Break Down: The Slammin Shawarma - This is my first dish I asked for. I WANTED to try this dish. I have a love for shawarma and Norfolk does NOT have shawarma... Until now. I got my shawarma on the garlic pita. The traditional style shawarma hit all the right points from what I expect from flavour and quality of ingredients. The chicken is the star of this dish hands down. The chicken was perfectly cooked. It has a great seasoning with a complement of heat and the chicken was soft and moist. I highly recommend this dish. Even the salad was made with the same fresh ingredient and the dressing was on point. I found myself going back and forth crushing bite after bite until it was all gone. Pickle It Fries - Pickle fries need fresh cut fries. These fresh cut fries were fried to perfection and topped with all the good stuff. From the shredded dill, the Dill Aioli, Pickled onions and fresh dill on top. Pickle fries and beaches just seem to go hand in hand. The best Pickle fries in Port Dover guaranteed Greek It Fries - Now this was the surprise dish and I was surprised. While I consume Gyro's all the time at fair time. I have never had it on fries before. These had Beef/Lamb gyro, chopped tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, feta cheese and garlic/dill aioli. I was blown away at how well this dish works. It was so good that I let my wife try a bite and then she stole a giant scoop of the meat and feta right off the top of my fries. These almost started a food fight between us. I was ready to go to battle to defend my fries. Caramel Churro Bites - the perfect little desert to end my amazing parade of flavours I got to experience today. To have the warm churro with the caramel and chocolate was ending my flavour parade needed. The warm cinnamon and sugar bites with a crisp exterior and warm fluffy interior. I now want more of.

The food is delicious and fresh! They have healthy options; which, is really nice to see for takeout by the beach. Their fully loaded fries and churros were worth the calories! You can pre-order and pay online which is a great time saver! I will definitely be back!
