The restaurant was attractively decorated and the seating was comfortable. Everything we ate or drank was delicious. We are looking forward to coming back again soon.

So full disclosure I have eaten their food at least 2 other times during the year since I first…read morefound this gem and both times it was take out. Needless to say the food was so good, pics proved to have zero chance. Sooo after a rough week, a Saturday late morning breakfast was calling for a much needed downtime to sit and enjoy... and well here we go: Some say happiness in a bottle, I say Happiness in a glass! Their iced praline mocha is soooo good! The right balance of mocha and coffee, not overly sweet but enough to give you a pick me up while enjoying their amazing food! Next time must try their lavender latte or pistachio... but gotta get it before 5/31 as it's available for a limited time! Definitely recommend the brekki bowl with cheese grits and fried chicken! You will not be disappointed. Cheese grits like "buhhhttah" without the oily and maybe the calories?! But honestly, so flavorful and creamy without the guilty feeling for having something that tastes so good. The veggies are fresh and perfectly cooked to give you great texture contrast. And let me tell you about their fried chicken!! Chefs kiss! Moist, flavorful lightly breaded chicken fried to perfection that had a slight kick for this girl. In full disclosure black pepper is spicy for me so take that with a grain of salt. And for those of you like me that believe there is never too much salt and add salt to your salt but need to cut that bad habit... this whole dish is the perfect amount of salt. I literally never had to add just a little more. The goat cheese crumbles gave each bite the little extra tah-dah pop that might have been otherwise gotten had you like me added a few more shakes of salt to the dish. Seriously though, if you are watching to slowly cut back on having to add salt to your food, this dish is for you! The service was great and everyone was friendly and hustling! This place is the best for a quick sit down or a group brunch. I saw a table of like 10 menly bros enjoying a huge selection of food, drinks, and catching up. Really awesome to see that as the next few tables were a mix of families with and without kids, in laws, aunts and uncles just coming together for amazing food, great and accurate service, and overall fantastic experience ina random Saturday morning!

Can't wait to go back and try other items!

It's been about a year since my last review. We finally made it in on a Monday night for ramen. We…read morestarted with biscuits because... I mean we love their biscuits, lol. My husband got the veggie ramen and I got the spicy miso. I'm sad to say, I didn't love the ramen. I wanted to love it, the toppings on mine were great, but the broth wasn't quite as good as our favorite ramen spot. And the noodles were kind of mushy. I'm not sure if they were overcooked or if that's just the noodle type they use. My husband did not like his at all. But my cocktail was delicious, service was on point. As always, atmosphere was still bright and clean. When the bill arrived, the waitress told us she took my husband's ramen off, since he didn't eat any. Today's visit was probably a four star day And we will be back. Just because we didn't care for one item on their menu doesn't diminish our love for this place.

Not my first time here and definitely not my last! The Stockpot has such a classic diner food feel,…read morewith an elevated atmosphere. Service here is always excellent, and I recommend almost everything on the menu. The stockpot is also a major community hub! They host weekly ramen Mondays, and have plenty of community classes and events throughout the month Today, for Valentine's Day brunch, I got the OG fried rice with a side of the Yukon potato's, and a vanilla honey matcha. Let me tell you, good matcha is so hard to find, but oh my gosh I found it here. The perfect mix of sweet and earthy + served in the cutest little mason jar! Also, the potatoes here are to DIE for. So absolutely delicious. A must have if you're coming to the stockpot. The OG fried rice is delicious, topped with kimchi, which is not usually my jam, but with this it's perfect! The OG fried rice is their best selling dish, so you have to try it at least once. Also pictured is the southwest skillet that my boyfriend got. Also super delish and again, has those iconic potatoes!

I went early on a Sunday morning (sometime around 6:30), and as soon as I walked in I was warmly welcomed by the staff. There were already a couple of tables seated, and I opted to sit at the counter since I was solo. Ordered the big breakfast (Two eggs over medium, bacon, home fries and toast) and a coffee. The food came out quickly, was hot and delicious and the price was spot on. I would 100% come back for both the food and the staff. It's nice having a place to go that feels like home.

I went in just before 9:00 AM to catch their breakfast specials and was honestly so excited to try…read moretheir fried rice. When we walked in, the sign said to seat ourselves. The waitress who helped us was incredibly nice and took the time to answer all of my questions. Unfortunately, my excitement was cut short when I went to order the #6 breakfast special and found out the fried rice was pre-made with ham, and there was no option to get it without meat. Since the fried rice was out, I pivoted and ordered the #1 Special: 2 eggs (requested soft scrambled with cheese) 2 pieces of bacon (asked to hold the bacon) White toast Home fries Side order: Egg rolls to go The execution of breakfast was pretty disappointing. The eggs weren't soft scrambled, the cheese on top wasn't melted, and the home fries were very hard. To top it off, the whole plate came out at room temperature. I didn't make a fuss or send it back because it's a small, family-owned restaurant and they clearly have a lot of loyal regulars who love them. Overall Verdict: Breakfast Food: 5/10 Egg Rolls: 7/10 The service alone makes it worth giving them another shot. While breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I would definitely return to give their lunch menu a try.

We made a special trip to Rustic Spoon for my husband's birthday because their website listed…read morescotch eggs, which was something he'd been craving forever and that we hadn't been able to find anywhere around town. It happened to be Restaurant Week, which made us a little nervous, but it ended up being totally fine. The dining room never felt overly crowded, the noise level was comfortable, and having the Restaurant Week prix fixe, drink specials, and regular menu all available gave us plenty of options without feeling overwhelming. One small note: the plastic logo cups served with the water decanter felt a little out of place. They were a bit sharp on the lips and didn't quite match the rest of the dining experience. Minor detail, but noticeable. The drinks, however, were excellent. On our server's recommendation, my husband ordered the Gingerbread Old Fashioned and I had the Salted Caramel Martini. Both were seasonal specials and both were fantastic. When we asked about the scotch eggs, our server explained they're normally a brunch-only item. We were a little disappointed (and may have made a few pouty faces while explaining we'd come specifically for them for his birthday), but we quickly let it go, it obviously wasn't her fault. What we didn't realize was that she went back and told the kitchen manager that it was his birthday and that we'd made the trip just for those scotch eggs. Since the kitchen wasn't slammed, they decided to make them anyway and surprised us with an order. We were honestly floored. My husband was thrilled. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. And the scotch eggs were exactly what he'd been hoping for! They were crispy on the outside with a rich, savory center. For entrées, his Nashville Hot Chicken was juicy with the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. My Haystack Burger was stacked and delicious, though the BBQ sauce was strong enough to overshadow the pickled green tomato a bit. The fries were fantastic - crispy, battered, and perfect from first bite to last. Our server checked in at all the right times and kept drinks refilled without us needing to ask. The fact that she went out of her way to do something special during one of the busiest weeks on a restaurant's calendar says a lot about both her and the restaurant. Rustic Spoon is the kind of place that works just as well for a casual date night as it does for a birthday dinner or a night out with friends.

It has a very clean minimal decor vibe but is still very welcoming and comfortable. There are large tables, sofas, a nice bar and arm chairs to gather in and the music is loud enough to mute conversations but not so loud as to disturb the vibe. The menu is simple. Coffees, teas seasonal drinks, sandwiches and pastries. My husband and I were taking a quick break from. Hopping and decided on drinks and a pastry. We ordered the grinch matcha latte, a gingerbread latte and a spinach feta pastry. Omg both of us loved the grinch. I've been searching for a matcha I could enjoy and this is it! All the right notes: not too sweet, creamy and the matcha well blended in the milk-think no grainy residue at the end. If I'm in the matcha mood I'm coming to get this. The grinch was so good I think it made the gingerbread latte less exciting but it was still delicious! The expresso was strong so for a non Coffee drinker like me it wasn't my favorite but my husband thought it was great. The pastry came out hot and was delicious. Everything came out fairly fast so even with the crowd we were there less than 30 minutes. I want to come back and try more drinks and a salad that seems up my alley. Please check out this locals establishment. You won't be disappointed!!

First of all can I just say WOW!…read more We were excited at the first because we thought the Neat Bird from Chesapeake had a new location in Norfolk Colley Avenue but there chicken sandwich was even delicious here too with a different owner! We met the owner, he is a cool band guy with a mustache name Dand. The drinks he made for us were so good and so was the way he talked with his staff and the way they worked together. My parner and I had seen that they pride themselfes on Scottish eggs, which we were lucky to try and it was also very delicious! We like that they have the vibe and also a board with many events of the community on the wall to check out while you sip on a delicious expresso martini. Good job to the Bird! now dont go opening another restaurant in Chesapeake or we will all be very confused!

The ambiance…read moreis cozy and homey, with a few tables outside, some high-top tables inside, bar seating, three half-booth tables, and even a couch area. You order at the register, and the staff brings the food out to your table. Everyone was attentive, and we had no issues with the service. We ordered the waffle plate, which came topped with fruit alongside eggs and their house sausage. We also tried the Huevos Rancheros, the Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich, and a build-your-own omelette. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar cold brew, dulce de leche cold brew, drip coffee, and an espresso martini. The waffle was huge, and the sides were great. My only complaint was that it could have used more fruit, as there were only a few small pieces. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious and came with a generous serving of avocado. The only thing that caught us off guard was the lack of salsa, since in traditional Huevos Rancheros the salsa is a key component. Even so, the dish was still flavorful and filling. The omelette was excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was equally delicious. I was especially impressed by the house-made jam, house-made hot sauce, and the perfectly seasoned home fries. As for the drinks, the brown sugar cold brew was excellent, but the dulce de leche version was far too sweet for my taste. From what I understood, they use two flavored syrups to make it, and I think using smaller portions of each would create a better balance. We ended up adding oat milk and some drip coffee to tone it down. The drip coffee itself was solid and came with free refills. The espresso martini really tied brunch together for me -- strong, well-made, and delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and the experience, and we'll definitely be back.

Jennifer was our waitress and her service was absolutely spectacular. I was celebrating with my sister and ordered the closest thing to steak and eggs... which just happed to be the Steak & Hash.! I asked for the potatoes to be super crispy, eggs scrambled soft and a medium rare steak. Jennifer advised that I cannot order the steak to the temp of my choosing because, this dish does not come with a whole steak. This dish comes with cut up steak pieces. She requested for them to be cooked light. This dish also doesn't come with eggs. I ordered it on the side. Overall this dish was very pleasing to the eye but my darn potatoes were COLD... I was breaking all the rules and ordered carbs after my intense workout just to be heavily disappointed with cold taters lol... the fish looks amazing but this goes to show you that looks can be deceiving. The eggs were cooked to perfection.. not just anyone can scramble eggs soft. So the kitchen does get a point or two for that. The steak pieces are very small and thin my sliced.. not much flavor but at least they weren't chewy. Overall I did not eat my dish. I just packed up the entire plate and enjoyed two glasses of champagne with grapefruit juice. My guest ordered a dish called the chicken chimichangas or chickichangas. I believe and she devoured it!!! I didn't get a picked but it looked like a chicken omelet with hollandaise on top and some fresh fruit! Overall I am eating this place a 3 only because my service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and had ample parking.. the bathroom was clean and I just happened to be in great company. Side note. They do not sell regular size bottles of champagne. Here. You can order champagne or mimosa and they sell small individual bottles of Barefoot Prosecco I believe.

It was after a morning doctor appointment in Chesapeake. We were hungry, not having had much time…read morefor food before leaving. I had seen so many people on Yelp who had eaten at First Watch. There was one relatively close. It was time to explore in person. The first negative I saw at the Summit Point location was people waiting in the outer lobby. Not a good sign. I wasn't familiar with the area. So I had no idea that it was next to the Family Dollar Corporate Headquarters or that Summit Pointe was a mixed use development with shops, offices and housing. That's a lot of people all looking for a lunch spot. There was a wait but we were hungry and decided to stay. A nice man, who was also waiting with us in the outer lobby, told us about a feature on their App where you could see the wait & join the list remotely. I downloaded and set up the App while we waited. When our table was ready service was quick. A coffee cup, pot and water was immediately brought to our table. I did want coffee. But it's very old school to assume everyone does. It also told me there were no specialty coffees. I smiled when I saw the FLORIDIAN FRENCH TOAST on the menu. It was billed as made with Thick-cut artisan baked challah bread with fresh banana, kiwi, seasonal berries and powdered cinnamon. There was no doubt as to what I would order. Thick cut challah bread French Toast is one of my favorite Brooklyn breakfast choices. The server asked if I wanted bacon. My response was that I really did but it didn't work with my calorie count. He pointed out that apple chicken sausage was a choice. So I ordered that on the side. When the food arrived I was extremely disappointed. The challah bread wasn't thick. It was the thickness of normal bread. It lacked the softness of a well prepared challah bread French Toast. Having ordered sugar free syrup, I asked if that was what the small container on my plate contained. She acted surprised & returned with a container of sugar free syrup in the manufacturer packing, just as if had been purchased from the grocery shelf. Now let's talk about the Apple Chicken Sausage. The two pieces came sliced very thin and were brown. I tried cutting into one. It was very tough. I didn't eat very much. The cost certainly wasn't indicative of the price I was charged. My friend ordered pancakes & bacon. Each piece of bacon was cooked differently. One was almost completely raw. Ugggg The decor was that of a chain restaurant, which I didn't know before arriving that it was. Rating is 2.5 for the food, rounding up to 3 for the cool App. There's no reason to keep the App on my phone though. I won't be returning.
