Meet Andrea and Michael Beasley, Owners of The Deep: A Culinary Gem in Downtown Hampton

Andrea and Michael Beasley are the proud owners of The Deep, a cozy Southern seafood fusion restaurant nestled in the heart of downtown Hampton.

With their unwavering dedication and a menu that reflects their love for fresh, scratch-made dishes, The Deep offers a unique dining experience that has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

The Story Behind the Name

The name “The Deep” came about during a brainstorming session that seemed almost serendipitous.

Drawing inspiration from their Southern seafood menu and their location in downtown Hampton—at the end of a row of restaurants and bars—the name just felt right. It evokes both the “Deep South” and the waterside charm of Hampton.

A Family-First Dining Experience

The Deep isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a family-friendly haven.

Andrea and Michael understand the challenges parents face when dining out in areas with a heavy bar scene.

That’s why they’ve created a space where families with kids are welcomed with crayons, a comfortable atmosphere, and a dedicated kids’ menu—the only one in the area. The restaurant closes at 9 p.m., ensuring a relaxed and family-oriented environment.

Quality That Speaks for Itself

What sets The Deep apart is their commitment to quality. Every dish is made from scratch to order.

From real Maine lobster rolls to house-braised short ribs and smoked meats, their menu is designed for foodies who appreciate well-crafted, flavorful meals.

Andrea and Michael are passionate about serving more than just food—they’re offering a dining experience rooted in authenticity and care.

 

A Legacy Rooted in Family and Resilience

The journey to opening The Deep has been anything but conventional.

Originally from the Hampton Roads area, the Beasleys moved to Florida to care for Andrea’s family and opened a restaurant there.

When circumstances brought them back to Hampton, they found an opportunity to start fresh with The Deep. The couple’s determination to create a legacy for their children and support their family shines through in every aspect of their business.

A Love for Hampton

Andrea and Michael have a deep appreciation for Hampton’s rich history and eclectic charm. From its roots as one of America’s first landing sites to its vibrant art and welcoming community, the city offers a blend of rural and urban life that inspires them.

Supporting Local and Giving Back

The Beasleys are passionate about supporting their community. Whether it’s donating to the Hampton Police or dreaming of future contributions to local schools and the Special Olympics, they are dedicated to making a positive impact.

Andrea encourages locals to “support local businesses,” reminding everyone that real families with real dreams and investments are behind establishments like The Deep. “If we can make it through the spring and into the summer, we’ll be fine,” she shares, optimistic about the seasonal upswing that Downtown Hampton’s waterfront typically brings.

Visit The Deep

The Deep is more than just a place to eat; it’s a testament to resilience, family, and great food. Whether you’re craving Southern-inspired seafood or looking for a welcoming spot to dine with your loved ones, Andrea and Michael invite you to experience the difference at The Deep.

Support local, savor quality, and be part of their journey. You’ll find a warm smile, a clean and cozy ambiance, and food that’ll keep you coming back for more.
