Biscuit Belly - Norfolk

First time at this chain restaurant. I've had my eye on them with friends providing above average reviews. However, my visit overall fell on the average side and I would likely not return anytime soon. The location is in a newly developed warehouse area. Biscuit Belly has been present for over a year, but a new development behind their old building is being completed. Signage is pretty good from Hampton Blvd, but it's a small sign, so be ready to turn. Parking is spacious nearby parallel and in a lot for nearby businesses. It's short walk. The area was clear of debris. I saw no security and felt safe. In my opinion the cool factor is the building itself which is maybe a 30's, or 40's factory warehouse type structure. A significant investment by the chain to make this a really neat place to enjoy breakfast and brunch. They close early afternoon. The interior's all brick exterior walls and concrete floors with open air ceiling gave me that cool vibe I absolutely loved! There large windows along the road that will wake you up and provide a bright space. My visit was on a weekday mid morning and there was only two customers. It's a pretty spacious dining room with mixture of booths and tables. There is also outdoor dining on the side. Restrooms are on the far side of the entrance and gender neutral single use. I found them spacious, clean with proper supplies. Prior to ordering from the walk up they offer a small amount of merchandise and also menus for catering. Menus are present at the counter to review. It's extensive! They offer a lot including cocktails. I jumped on Rockwell and added bacon to compare it to a local place I love "Handsome Biscuit. Biscuit Belly's is a biscuit and gravy.The staff were warm and friendly at checkout. I also included a bottomless drip coffee and they hand you a mug. The total $19.01 w/ tax and an opportunity to tip. They do bring your food out and clear, but no follow up is expected. They give you a number to locate the table.The drink station has fountain soda, coffee with cream and sugar. The area was clean. The coffee was very good! I waited no longer than 10 minutes for my food to arrive and visually it looked fine. Napkins and utensils are in the table which I really liked. My first impression after closely inspecting the sandwich was the bacon was paper thin and less quality than I would have thought given the price point. The biscuit seemed underdone, the gravy tasty. The overall a 2. Although I may not return myself I acknowledge people seem to adore Biscuit Belly's and write above average reviews also returning. I'm at a 3.5 and rounding down for my first experience. For me I would drive less than a mile for a much scaled down and quality Handsome Biscuit.

I returned after a bad experience about a month ago to try again. The owner decided to email but then she ghosted me after three attempts at reaching her back.If she were working in the location guiding her staff the biscuits would not recently be tasting flat and stale not fresh like they were six months ago.What changed besides owners pretending to care but not contacting you back?The staff at Norfolk location now is very aloof.

Quick order and a bit of a wait. But having a good large cup of coffee makes it palatable. The menu is intimidating at first. So I wish my fellow Yelpers would have had some suggestions. So for our order today we ordered a Love Shack , Basic Biscuit with Egg and an order of Bonuts. Okay so the Biscuits are just good. The sausage and egg with the biscuit very good. The dinning room is large and can be a bit crowded but ambiance is good and bright. The reason for 1 star deduction is I asked for a receipt and did not receive one , too bad first two minutes in and you loose a star! I would return and recommend Biscuit Belly.

As a first timer, this was a solid breakfast experience. We ordered our food and as we were trying to find a table, we saw most of them were dirty. We claimed a dirty table then an employee came by to say he'd get some help to clean the table. He came back to clean the table but his help never came. It's not a good look to have one employee cleaning when several parties were waiting for tables but we weren't in a rush so it didn't bother me too much. We got our drinks fairly quickly and they were great! We got through about half of them before the food showed. For $70 (food + 10 tip), it was pretty good. The biscuit was a good balance of soft and "sturdy". The pancakes corndogs and seasonal fruit were good. I enjoyed the loaded tots but expected to get way more than 4. my date seemed fairly pleased with her food despite not eating it all. I'd probably go back.

This restaurant is a solid option for a meal with family and friends. Overall, the food was enjoyable, and the staff was helpful when needed. However, there were some issues with seating and cleanliness that detracted from the experience.Pros:- Tasty Dishes: The menu offered classic comfort foods, including a delicious fried chicken biscuit sandwich topped with tangy sauce and crumbled cheese, and a hearty plate of biscuits smothered in creamy gravy. The flavors were satisfying, and the food was served warm.- Family-Friendly: The atmosphere was casual, making it suitable for both kids and adults. There were high chairs available, which was convenient for families with young children.- Local Favorite: Judging by the long lines and the number of people dining, it's clear that this place has a loyal local following.Cons:- Seating Policy: The seating policy felt a bit rigid. We were asked to move even though we were with a baby, as we hadn't ordered yet. It would have been better if they allowed us to sit and settle before placing an order.- Cleanliness: Some tables were not thoroughly cleaned, and we noticed the floor was a bit messy too. In addition, there was a lack of utensils at our table, and it took a while to get them refilled.- Busy Atmosphere: While a crowded restaurant is often a good sign, it made the dining experience feel slightly chaotic. The line was long, and service felt a bit rushed at times.Despite the drawbacks, I would consider returning due to the quality of the food and the friendly vibe. With some improvements in seating management and cleanliness, this place could be an even better experience.

This place is great if you're a brunch person like I am. Today I had the Boozy Bird chicken sandwich with bourbon maple syrup with an old fashioned. It was so good. The food is always great and the customer service. The employees are so friendly. Definitely a great brunch spot.

This place is located not too far from ODU. Located in a new shopping plaza, this restaurant makes for the perfect breakfast spot for the college students + locals! I ordered the regular chicken biscuit with homemade potatoes, the house ranch, and the cinnamocha drink. My biscuit was okay, not too much flavor, I'll try a more elaborate biscuit next time. But that homemade ranch and cinnamocha 10/10!! I know it's weird to rate the condiment and drink but tbh those were the two best things on my plate! I did taste my cousins pickle (he advised me to order something with pickles but I didn't listen) SMH, whatever you do, ORDER SOMETHING WITH PICKLES! The pickles were amazing!! Nothing like any pickles I've ever tasted!! The service was friendly and quick! The overall aesthetic of this place was very millennial. It's an order first, sit down type of place, with a grass wall lol (IYKYK)!

A nice, bright and airy restaurant with a a nice decor. There is a Norfolk mural on the wall and cute brunch pillows at one of the banquet seating areas. Upon entering, you will grab a menu and then follow the path to place your order at the counter. On your way, you will pass the viewing window where you can watch someone making biscuits. You will be given a wooden number to take your table and then food is brought out to you. Our food arrived very fast and looked just as advertised. It was plentiful and flavorful. Definitely a very filling breakfast! I could not come near to finishing my biscuit sandwich order. Come with an appetite and leave full!

We had breakfast at an incredible biscuit spot, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The place was impeccably clean, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Their menu had so many tempting options, but I went with the biscuits topped with brie, jam, and nuts--an absolute masterpiece. Honestly, it was one of the best biscuits I've ever tasted. You could tell it was freshly made, with that perfect balance of flavors and textures. The coffee was equally excellent. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Simple elegance with a touch of nostalgia The staff was all very friendly Had the Brekkie with an over medium egg and was pleasantly surprised with the egg being co properly ( note always done medium at other establishments). The poblano tomato sauce was an especially nice touch on an already delicious meal
