Support our Hampton Roads Restaurants & Businesses during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Now more than ever we as a community need to support our small businesses.
These are trying times for our country from a health and economic standpoint.
With the announcement March 23rd from Governor Northam, all non-essential businesses must close for 30 days. This announcement also mandated that restaurants must close their doors for dine-in (for up to 10 people) and offer only delivery or curbside pick-up. *The announcement is at the bottom of this post*
This list was created in effort to help small businesses get the word out about their hours of operation, specials they may be offering or other ways in which they are connecting. This list could change at any time and we will do our best to keep it updated. Please contact the business below first to make sure there has been no changes.
If you are a business owner or know a great restaurant you’d like to support by adding to the list. Please contact us at info@militarybridge.com to be added.
