    I had been craving pancakes for quite some time and decided to try Bel Aire Pancake House! Super cute restaurant.. looks like something that should be in Grease. It's a lot bigger inside than it appears to be outside. We were able to get seated immediately! They have a huge food menu and drink menu with options for everybody. I had the Belly Blaster that came with 2 huge pancakes, I chose scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, bacon, and home fries. I also had the baileys and coffee with whipped cream. Both the food and drinks were amazing! We totally could've shared the pancakes they were that big. Our server Sherry was super nice and came back and checked on us often. My ONLY complaint is they don't have lemons for lemon water. They give you lemon juice packets, but they 100% lemon juice concentrate with "added ingredients" safe to say I passed on that lol but other than that, I will totally be back! I want to try a few of their mimosas. They have a wide variety of those too!

    3.5 Ambience and theme were cool. Had a pretty authentic diner feel. Fairly busy on the Saturday mourning we went, but got seated in a booth immediately and got serviced right away as well. Server was nice and helpful with picking from the menu. The orders came out correct. The pancakes were a lot bigger than I expected, apparently the biggest in the area. Potato's were seasoned. Sausage wasn't too greasy. The burrito meal was fulfilling too. Had to get some of it to-go. Wish the potatoes inside of the burrito were the same as the seasoned potatoes on the side. They were very thick inside of the burrito and not as flavorful. The pricing was acceptable. Averaged 30pp without tip. I'd go back and try some other things on their menu. Especially looking forward to the cereal flavored x liquor shot creations.

    Food was good. Service was quick! Our server was patient while we looked over the menu. We ordered the Elvis Pancakes, two egg breakfast and an omelet. All was good but we found it funny the "cheesy" grits had a slice of american cheese on them. Large portion of pancakes for around $16, if going out for breakfast I would order here again, overall cost around $55 for two people. Accessibility: Wheelchair ramp in the front slight ramp ish bump upon entry to the restroom. Bathroom sink does not have room for legs if using a wheelchair and larger stall is not very roomy. Once in the restaurant there are steps down to an additional seating area but you are able to enjoy the full experience without using any steps otherwise! Was pretty loud when we went on a Saturday morning, but I added noise cancelling earbuds and was fine. My service dog came along and was allowed in with no push back, the staff did not interfere with him either.

    The food at this restaurant was simply divine. I love the Customer service and the ambience. It did not take long for the food to arrive at the table. I had the pancakes which I was told they have some of the largest pancakes in the 757 area. I love the crispy edges and the toppings. There are a variety of different toppings that you can try. This was an absolute superb visit. I would definitely try them again and again and again. Make sure when you visit try the humongous pancakes. You will not regret it. They also have a pretty good drink menu if you partake. The omelettes were seasoned excellently as well

    I'm not sure how to rate this restaurant. I visited them while eating restrictively so my meal was simple. I had steak, eggs, and coffee. The steak (medium) was cooked perfectly but it was thin and fatty. My eggs over medium again cooked perfectly. And grilled toast w/butter. My coffee black with one Splenda was okay, not rich and bold like I prefer. The service was quick and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was that of a diner. Overall my experience was satisfying but honestly, without the app, I couldn't tell you where they were nor if I could return. Nothing stood out that would make me go searching for them but if ever I am hungry and they are close by I would eat there again!

    Love the old school dinner vibe. The license plates on the wall also give it a nice retro feel as well. The staff here are attentive and we were seated within 10 minutes, as it was somewhat packed. The food arrived pretty quickly. My burger was cooked perfectly, however it fell apart with ease. The fries were bland but hot. While I think seasoning would definitely take this place to another level, I can see why they might not prefer it. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would return.

    A couple months ago I went to the Stockpot location in VA Beach, so when in Norfolk and walking by…read morethis one I stopped in. I was taken care of by the chef and she was very helpful with the menu. They have so many appetizing options on their mostly healthy, all fresh menu. I love soup, so I love that they offer several each day, with some standards, plus a soup of the day, which on the day I visited was cream of potato. Where I sat at the counter, I could watch them making all the food and I was impressed to see that they don't just ladle soup into a bowl to serve it, they actually cook and prepare, then dress it to plate it perfectly. Their cream of potato was really good and not the traditionally made where the potato is pureed into the soup - rather they make a creamy soup base and then add potatoes to it. The combo of the soup, a small piece of potato, scallion, and a small piece of bacon really made for a great spoonful in each spoonful I enjoyed!! My coworker got their Asian Chicken Noodle and that looked amazing! He said it was incredible. Next up was the entrée and we both got their lamb gyro.... It's not the traditional gyro, it's an openfaced style, just like their chicken salad toast. It was really good! The tzatziki was great on it! And we also got a side of their cucumber feta salad... this tasted fresh and the feta was vibrant, with the combo of the cucumber and feta together being incredibly tasty. Overall, another very nice visit to a Stockpot restaurant... Looks like I need to try their Chesapeake location to get the trifecta of Stockpot! Highly recommend stopping in!

The restaurant was very clean, and since it wasn't too busy, we were seated right away. The staff was welcoming and friendly. A few minutes after we placed our order, we were informed that they were out of breakfast potatoes, which was surprising since it was still before 10 a.m. This limited some of the breakfast options, so I ended up ordering the Selden Breakfast (a biscuit sandwich), a kid's chicken noodle soup, a biscuit on the side, and a lavender matcha. The sandwich was delicious, especially after adding the garlic aioli. My only complaint was that the biscuit wasn't served warm, and I think warming it would have elevated the sandwich. The biscuit we ordered on the side was also not warm. The lavender flavor in the matcha was enjoyable, but the drink itself missed the mark. The color and matcha flavor seemed off, and it wasn't mixed well--I could see clumps of matcha powder sitting in the ice. On a positive note, my nephew really enjoyed the chicken noodle soup. Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to come back and give it another try.

The second star is the restaurant itself, specifically the comfortable upstairs area. It has a nice bar with a projector for a good watch, they'll open the large window on the front wall when the weather is nice, and they even have a cool working area if you need to study or write. Third star is how good the meals are. I'm a little basic and get the same thing each time (a lox bagel) and it's just right every time. Not every food spot that has lox bagels includes the capers, but Yorgo's does and I love them for it. Their bagels are also pretty close to what I've had in New York (IYKYK). Fourth-ly, the beverages - I'm typically a hot tea drinker and my fiancé likes lattes, and they're perfect and warm each time (admittedly, it's hard to get wrong, but they still get a star for getting it right). Occasionally, I'll partake in a mimosa or two, and they serve it different ways and it's always refreshing. Lastly, I like how accessible it is. I'm not the biggest fan of driving through Norfolk nor having to find parking in certain areas, but Yorgo's is so easy to get to. There's parking up front, across the street in the parking lot, or around back in the other lot or along the streets. If you don't get to park right up front, it's just a short walk away. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out.

In fact, I'm known among…read moremy friends and family as a very critical eater--some have even jokingly called me a food critic. So for me to take the time to write this says a lot. From the moment we walked into Oceanview Diner, we felt at home. There was an immediate warmth--like stepping into what America is supposed to feel like--people talking, laughing, and genuinely connecting over good food. The attention to detail was impossible to miss. Fresh-cut flowers sat on each table, adding a simple but thoughtful touch. Before our meals even arrived, we were served homemade herb focaccia with olive oil--an unexpected and appreciated gesture. And yes, even the water stood out. Being near the ocean, you often get that slightly earthy taste, but this water was clean, crisp, and clearly filtered. Now, the food. I ordered the Parmesan-crusted chicken with roasted potatoes and collard greens. The chicken was juicy (not dry at all) and cooked perfectly--something that sounds simple but is rarely executed this well. The collards were good, though I personally would've liked just a touch more salt and a splash of vinegar to bring them fully to life. My partner ordered the fried flounder with asparagus and mashed potatoes and had nothing but praise. Not a single morsel was left on the plate, which tells you everything you need to know. Oceanview Diner delivered not just a meal, but an experience rooted in care, pride, and hospitality.

Only regret was I wasn't hungry enough for the pot roast (fyi- pot roast and the stuffed figs were both daily specials) but the gravy was from that; it was literally my grandmas gravy.

I visited a Hampton Roads Restaurant group on FB and asked if someone was visiting from out of town: What is your go-to place to take them? Out of 90+ comments, No Frill Bar and Grill was mentioned the most - six times! So when I finally had a day off and some other business to tend to in Norfolk, it was the perfect excuse to finally try them. No Frill Bar and Grill has been open for nearly 30 years by Jerry Meltsner. Jerry's nephew Jon Kliner helps co-own and manage operations. It originally opened on Tidewater Drive, but the space didn't allow for much growth - 10 years later, he moved to a location off Colley Avenue and Spotswood Avenue. Growth continued, moving from counter service to table service. The second location, at 1620 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, opened in 2005. The restaurant's longevity stems from quality, consistency, price, service, and staff who genuinely care about the business and serving the community. I asked the server for her opinion on two options - Salmon, Shrimp and grits won. The dish was incredible: lightly blackened salmon, for once blackened food that doesn't just taste like salt. I don't dine with the swine, so I asked for no andouille sausage. The sautéed shrimp, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and spinach simmered in Norfolk Canyon ale sauce over cheesy grits and Boursin lavash cracker. The cheesy grits were smooth, and the Boursin lavash cracker was a nice touch. The Boursin added extra creaminess to the meal. The cracker wasn't really a cracker - more like little toasted bread. After this first meal, I know two things for sure: 1. I definitely understand why it is such a local favorite, and 2. I will be back.
