The Most Scrumptious Breakfast & Brunch in Virginia Beach

Fred's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (45) • $$

"The food was amazing!!!! Service was great!!! It's a little hole in the wall full of great surprises! Definitely will be going back regularly"

Walter's Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (10) • $

"I ate lunch here about 3 weeks ago and had a club sandwich. What a delicious combination of chicken salad on the club sandwich. Yummy. I live in Chowan County and when I am near Chowan University I eat at Walter's. The place is clean and the food is always fresh. The staff is friendly too. Just a nice experience for lunch."

Handsome Biscuit

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"It's been 7 whole years since I enjoyed a handsome biscuit, today proved the consistency remains in both food quality and service after all of this time. The restaurant was cleaned and bathroom was also clean and fresh."

Pangaea At Anderson's

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"What a hidden gem! I discovered Pangaea by accident while my wife shopped for more plants that we don't need. I got to talking with the owners, who filled me in on the history of their business. So cool! Both very friendly guys. The decor is so unique and fun! My son wanted to try the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, and my daughter was excited for the croissant, too. They both loved their food, which is exceedingly rare for my very picky children! I wish I could say that I got a picture, but they devoured it before I had the chance! My wife got a bite, but I wasn't so lucky; she expressed that it was really good, too. I got a drip coffee for myself and it was quite good. I wish that it was in a freestanding space, but this does give me something to look forward to when my wife drags me out to buy more plants!"

Belcher's Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (4)

"An authentic taste of Philadelphia in Plymouth! First let me say that good food takes time--and the quality you get here is worth the wait. So if you're carrying out or eating in, plan for the time it takes for this sweet family from Philly to make your steak & cheese with love. They just completed a remodel of the dining room and it's a great improvement; it couldn't look like the former "Little Man" (previous restaurant here) forever. The menu is pretty well edited. All of your classic steak & cheese are here, and chicken is a good option. Hoagies too, and their bread is the right kind for both of these. Breakfast is all day, and really good. Prices are very competitive--meaning, a lot less than this would cost in the City of Brotherly Love. Pro tip: ask for the special sauce on the side. I can't remember what he calls it but it's amazing. And you can ask for fries "extra crispy" if you're into that."

The Swan Terrace

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (161) • $$$

"Took our daughter to lunch for her birthday yesterday and oh what a beautiful dining area! The furnishings are elegant yet comfortable. We sat at a window with a view of the courtyard--picture perfect for weddings. Our server, Stephen, was attentive, professionally friendly, and took several good pictures of the birthday girls and I to remember our time together. There was a full buffet with salads and lots of add-ins, fresh and delicious fruit, veggies, meats, and desserts. The coffee was especially good. Definitely will return!"

Sun Flour Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (23) • $$

"Ube is my thing. So when I saw that they had it last week, I got to try it.This Ube Sponge Cake was soft, moist and delectable. I wouldn't know it's GF. The icing was not too sweet and exactly the right umph for this cake.If she makes it again, I will not think twice to get it again. Maybe two slices this time."

2 D Cafe & Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14)

"2D cafe was super cute! I felt like I was in a cartoon :) the ambiance was very casual. To order you walk up to the counter and they give you a number. It is first come first serve seating so you'll need to find and claim your own seat. It was pretty busy when I went and I went on a Sunday morning. There is additional outdoor seating as well but that is limited.I only got 2 things when I went but plan to come back to try more! I started off with a matcha strawberry latte with coconut cold foam on top. It might not be on the menu because apparently they change their menu every month. The drink was good but I was hoping for more matcha flavor! The cold foam overpowered the drink but it was still good and refreshing. My bagel was delicious! It was stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese, avocado, pickled onions and greens served on an everything bagel and some chipotle aioli. Perfect brunch combo!! Next time I go I want to try their charcuterie boards because that totally fits the vibe. Will update once I go back to try more!! Highly recommend for anyone in the oceanfront area :)"

Lockside Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (342) • $$

"We recently had dinner at Lockside Bar and Grill located just before the Great Bridge Locks in the heart of Chesapeake.The atmosphere here is fantastic and the waterfront setting is amazing."

Jamesville Chuckwagon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (13) • $

"Sweetest folks on the planet!The most amazing onion rings ever!The best homemade ice cream Fabulous chicken salad!The hospitality is off the chart.We've been paddle board camping for the last 3 days and read the great Yelp reviews. They did not disappoint. The folks understand service like no body's business! They had places to charge our cell phones and we're happy to fill our water jugs and put them in their freezers for us. They were happy to mail some letters we had and offered to drive us to the store down the road when we asked where to buy some fruit. When we said no but thanks, they drove down to the store and bought us fruit and wouldn't take any money for it. The little boy Drake bought the fruit with his own money. He just said "pay it forward.""

Salty Hippie Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The service was amazing and attentive. It didn't seem very busy, but the foot was AMAZING!we got the smoke stack fries and they were soooooo good. The amount was perfect and very filling.The sandwiches were also so good! My husband got the bachelor burger and was cooked just right. I got the dipper which was basically a French dip. The place was super cute with antique farmhouse and beach vibes!"

T L's Country Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (119) • $

"We were looking for a simple place for breakfast and TL's did not disappoint. I had 2 eggs scrambled with hash browns and country ham. Eggs were as expected; hash browns were cubes, and I normally like the shredded variety. These were fine. You have a choice of country ham or city ham, and I choose country ham. I knew it would be salty, and it was. I had asked for biscuits, but they never arrived. My partner had a vegie omelet and a side of corned beef hash. Omelet was full of veggies and was tasty. Corned beef hash was good but probably came from a can. Coffee was very good and regularly refilled. Service was quick.TL's is definitely a local place for breakfast. We certainly sat next to some regulars. If you want simple food for breakfast, this is the place."

Southern Pancake and Waffle House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (792) • $$

"We have been coming to Williamsburg for years and this was a place we clearly have been missing. The customer service was amazing as soon as we walked in the door when we were greeted by Ms. Kecia. We had pancakes, chicken and waffles, and eggs and bacon. I had to check to see if my grandma wasn't in the kitchen. Everything was served hot and fast. Our server was attentive and gave great suggestions. There were regular customers who overheard us trying to decide what to eat and they told us " you can't go wrong with anything you choose". And they were not wrong! Southern Pancake and Waffle will now be our regular breakfast spot every time we visit Williamsburg."

Ten O Six

★★★★☆ 4.4 (377) • $

"Best little breakfast deli in the OBX!!! Me and my fiancé come here almost every morning every time we visit the outer banks, and the food is always amazing and not over priced like a lot of other places around here. We've also come here for lunch too, and i love their fried seafood baskets, i particularly like the fried oyster basket, they definitely give you your moneys worth in food. There's not really anywhere to sit inside since it's more of an in-and-out type of place, but they do have picnic tables right outside that we sit at when it's nice outside. The people working here are also always so nice and welcoming, which always makes us wanna come back too. This place is 10/10 and I rave about it to everyone."

Frank's Trucking Center

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (24) • $

"Franks is a throw back type of truck stop/restaurant.We've reviewed them before and really enjoyed it. Most of the employees are excellent...but there is always that "one" Not sure of her name but she has the coldest personality and has ZERO business being a server.The first picture is of her.There are two other servers that we have encountered and they are more than friendly and do an excellent job.I'm not sure if it's the pool of people that Franks has to choose from or if it's their pay rate.Either or, in the long run, it's not a really bad place to go."

Belcross Biscuit Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (68) • $

"Delicious breakfast, great service, would recommend and visit again.Place was busy, but we were seated quickly and food came out in a timely manner."

Jones Soul Food Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Oh my goodness I have no idea where to start. We ordered the fish, the chicken, collard greens Mac and cheese and the yams. EVERY SINGLE THING WAS THE BOMB!The skin on the chicken was super crispy without being overly greasy, it was like eating pork rinds or kettle chips. The fish was flaky, moist and perfectly seasoned without being too salty. The collard greens tasted very fresh and the juices tasted really good on the bread that came with the meal. The Mac and cheese emotionally fulfilled me in ways that I can't describe. And to top it all off the mumbo sauce was superb. Jones Soul Food is the best hole in the wall spot I've been to in Tappahannock PERIOD. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area again."

The Egg Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (570) • $$

"Had a great morning breakfast with my wife and a co worker. The breakfast was so good!!! The vibe was relaxed and the service was quick and pleasant. I recommend the chicken sandwich with the egg!! And the buffalo cauliflower bites. Great choice for appetizers. Will definitely come back and try more options on the menu."

Our Place Family Restaurant & Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.8 (43) • $

"Justin and I were headed north for a weekend getaway. We always check out YELP to find a local place to try.Our place had mostly good ratings so we decided to stop. The place is in an old strip of shops, looks run down. The inside is clean and smelled like pizza(mmmm). It was a true dive as far as the decor- run down booths with duct tape, but comfortable. They had a staff issue and only two servers. They had for hire signs on the door. We had a brand new waitress, who was timid but attentive. She didn't introduce herself, but shout out to her for taking the first step.Justin had the French Onion soup, if you follow me here, he loves to taste em all! It was good but not really a traditional FO. It was more like Au Jus for dipping a sandwich, but still had a good flavor. He also had the fried shrimp special, thought for sure it would have come with fries but 12 shrimp is what you got. The waitress didn't know what it can with. He enjoyed them none-the-less.I love chicken parm, that is what I ordered. It was a huge portion over spaghetti, baked and covered in sauce. It was delicious!! I could only eat half.They don't carry dessert any more the waitress said, but... that's ok we were full. In conclusion, if you are looking for fancy- this is not the place, but is if you are hungry and want great tasting food.Good job to the chef!"

Session

★★★★★ 4.8 (58) • $$

"Best brunch spot in Hampton Roads! Excellent service, caring & friendly owner, tons of vegan options on the menu, and supe vibe! I absolutely love the breakfast burrito made vegan. The lemony greens salad it's served with is so delicious. Their hot sauce is fantastic! Skip the coffee and go for the mimosa flight. Atmosphere inside and out is really cute and comfortable. I love that you can bring dogs to the patio outside."

The Grey Goose

★★★★☆ 3.9 (175) • $$

"New in town so I'm on the hunt for all new food spots. Lovedddd this place, overall was surprisingly above and beyond in all categories. The menu has a lot but not overwhelming- lots of amazing selections. It's kind of easy to miss from the outside if they don't have outside seating open yet. Don't pass it up though! Went for brunch and service was amazing. I got the smoked salmon frittata and my boyfriend got breakfast burger sandwich - both new items. Both So yummy and can't wait to be back! *also have bakery sweets and a full bar"

Mea Culpa Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (95) • $

"Favorite coffee shop that I visited in Norfolk! They use local beans and the coffee was made with care. They use house made syrups and their vanilla oat milk latte was so good I came back and got it a second time. Drip coffee comes with a free refill. They have a limited food menu with unique items that were all very good. We tried the banh mi and liege waffle and both were hot, fresh, and delicious! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the place itself is cute and quaint. Employees are friendly and service was great. Would definitely recommend if you're in Norfolk!"

Queens Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3 (3)

"EXCELLENT soul food cornerstone items: Mac and cheese, collard greens and fried chicken!! Extensive menu, cooked to order. Definite recommend"

Broken Plate Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (94) • $$

"Truly enjoyed dinner with friends on Saturday evening of Veterans Day Weekend. Many restaurants were closed for the season; those open had long waits. Perhaps due to their location (on second floor above an arcade) and difficult to see signage, we were able to get in without a reservation. The room decor is stylish and hip (I'd got rid of the TVs over the bar and have recorded music; I gather they have live music occasionally) . The service was understated and gracious. Pricing was extremely reasonable and portion sizes were large. My pork chop was beautifully prepared. Kudos to whoever put the wine list together: it was great to see some interesting wines--not the usual suspects--at fair markups. If you're headed to Corolla, please support Broken Plate. You won't be disappointed."

Monty's Penguin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (42) • $

"Love this place. Generations of my family have gone there to eat. The food is not fancy but omg it's so yummy. On Thursdays the special is pork chops in gravy and they just melt in your mouth! Order them. Trust me. I personally love their double cheeseburger but my mom says she thinks the Pattie's are too thin. So, I guess it's personal preference because I love them. And for sure, Monty's has THE BEST onion rings in town. If you've never been there, or if you're new to the area, understand this place is one of the oldest local "dive" restaurants adored by us locals! Some of the people who work there will give you a piece of their mind if you act up lol. We've witnessed it first hand. But those same people have worked there forever and are wonderful people. They make Monty's Monty's. So don't go there expecting a fine dining experience. This is a local diner. It's not fancy but we LOVE it. And their food is fabulous if you're looking for stick to your ribs type food. -oh, and their banana splits are the best!"

"Yellow fin tuna bites delicious and hush puppies were awesome too! Quaint little patio dining looking over the beach. Server was excellent!"

FERTITTA'S

★★★★☆ 3.9 (124) • $

"In Hampton visiting a friend . Lunch at fertittas! A true DDD location. Small , old time . And GREAT FOOD! Breakfast quesadilla was the best I've had. The service was five star! If we lived down here I would be here every day. It's that good !"

Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (263) • $$

"Very quick service! Food comes out in less than 10 min of ordering. Very simple food menu options. Mainly just staple items. Very affordable. Meals $10-$15 avg. per person. Waitresses are kind ladies typically. You do have to go to the register to pay!"

SBs Lakeside Love Shack

★★★★★ 4.6 (486) • $$

"Fun "Love Shack" themed diner in Lakeside. They tend to stay busy, so arrive early to get seated quickly. I got the eggs, sweet potato tots, English muffin and sausage. Coffee comes with it if you ask for it. Pretty standard breakfast fare. Kitchen works fast. The menu (along with specials board) can be a bit overwhelming with all of the choices. Service is pleasant."

Rick's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (245) • $

"I have been here before but never posted a review - this one is from a visit on July 8th. We were here (as we have been) for a Geocaching event. There were about 25 of us, probably more, and despite it being during their Saturday evening dinner rush, all of our orders were correct, our drinks refilled in a timely manner, the staff friendly & our food was delicious and conservitely priced.I had the club sandwich with ham and bacon, fries, battered onion rings, fried okra and apple pie Ala mode. I love club sandwiches, and even though they are quite simple, Rick's was served hot, perfectly toasted, no bad ham cuts, fries crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, onion rings that were sweet in their battered shell and fried okra that reminded me of mama's home cooked okra from my childhood memories. The only hiccup in my meal was the pie. The crust was so light that it appeared uncooked - no crispy pie shell and the apples felt too firm. Even with my dessert being a let down, I was happy enough to want to make a return visit.....and soon as they have BBQ ribs on the menu! Ps, they have menu prices that are better than fast food when you consider the amount of food that you get with each order.Home cooking almost as good as your mom's."

Freshfit Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (202)

"We loved this place so much we hit it twice during our one week stay. We love the smoothies! They don't use artificial sweeteners which is my primary motivation for going. They also have loads of healthy gluten free and vegan dishes!"

Civil Libation

★★★★★ 4.5 (275) • $$

"Amazing food and decor. The art flows through out. There is an amazing motif that encompasses framed art and murals. I went simple with the rib eye. It was amazing. The greens almost overshadowed the steak. Not to be missed. Cocktails are on point. Don't miss the old fashioned that features Japanese whiskey."

Crave Bakery + Coffee Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (14)

"If you're looking for a spot where everything you eat is very good and moist. Not too sweet, just right. I also ordered a cake for my daughter quinceanera and cookies. I can't wait for that day."
