    Great little spot to grab lunch. The windows are wide and give off great lighting with views of the parking lot and shopping mall. The inside has plenty of seating and just has a clean look to it. I was able to seat wherever I wanted and the waiter greeted me as soon as I sat down with a menu in hand. My drink order was taken and I was told about the special and even offered a few personal recommendations. I placed my order and my food came in about 10 minutes. The burger was cooked to order and the fries was delicious. Overall a great dining experience and I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're on the area.

    What a great find! Fantastic indoor ambiance- server was very friendly and attentive. The All American burgers were delicious! Ate every last fry on my plate! The hush puppies were delicious too!

    A nice find. Sitting on dry land amongst all the other popular restaurants in Virginia Beach is The Brick House Diner. A cozy place that is clean and being continously cleaned restaurant.they are open from 7 am to 9 pm. The breakfast menu is nice. I chose a mushroom a nd cheese omelet with potatoes and rye toast. I also had a cup of coffee and water. All of it was pretty good, but after looking at the menu board, I saw fresh Orange Juice! So, what the heck, I had a glass. So naturally sweet with a little pulp...very refreshing! My server, Melissa was a pleasure to talk with and she ensured my wait was short. The next time you want to start your day out great, then go over to the Brick House Diner and get a fresh OJ or mimosa...no one is judging!

    Tried Brick House Diner this morning for the first time ! I go to the orthodontist across the street and always see it, so I was excited to give it a try! The staff were very nice from the hostess to the server! The decor is modern, and the restaurant is very clean. The service was fast as well. We literally got our food within 10 minutes of ordering, and everything was hot and fresh! I tried the country fried steak skillet with pancakes and have no complaints! I will definitely be back!

    Amazing brunch spot! Got there early on a saturday and beat the rush. The croissant French toast was so good! Flaky and delicious sweetness. The country fried steak plate was so much food and so delicious. Inside is a little cramped but thats to accommodate how busy and popular it is.

    An early Saturday evening, and it was pretty good. The service was okay, but the server wasn't particularly kind. The food was good. The burger was cooked all the way through, just as I ordered, which was notable and appreciated. The milkshake was good too. I had the Cookies and Cream. There was no section on the menu for drinks. They certainly promote their alcoholic beverages, but not their soft drinks. I had to ask what kind they had. That's never happened before. I would suggest putting those on the menu as it makes no sense not to. The interior seemed fairly clean. They played mostly country music, which i thought was odd. I'd definitely go back and try some more stuff as the menu was really big! Lots of options and a decent variety. It was actually hard to choose what to get, but if it's good, I don't mind because I will just try other things next time I visit.

    Stopped by on a Saturday morning. Busy. But somehow, the brunch gods smiled upon us, and we got seated right away. The place is cozy and well lit. A nice board of specials and a dangerously tempting cocktail menu greeted us--because nothing says "good morning" like a little booze. The menu? Loaded. Tons of build-your-own options for eggs and combos, which meant I could pretend I was making responsible choices while still indulging. I went for the protein omelette (because gains) and blueberry pancakes (because balance). Shockingly, the omelette slapped- fluffy, flavorful, and didn't taste like punishment. The pancakes? Absolute perfection, like a warm hug from a carb-loving grandma. And let's talk about the Sunrise Mimosa. Just the right amount of booze, enough to take the edge off the week but not enough to make bad decisions. Final verdict: If you're looking for a brunch spot that caters to both your inner gym rat and your weekend indulgences, this place delivers. Would I come back? Absolutely. Will I pretend it's for the "protein options" again? Probably.

    I had the pleasure of having breakfast at the Brick House Diner this morning for the first time. This was the first time I've been to the restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed by the food, the weight staff, and the overall feel of the restaurant. Their portion sizes were absolutely amazing for the price and their staff was extremely friendly. The interior felt rustic, but modern at the same time. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant, and as this was my first time that I had ever been, I'm even now more curious to see what their lunch and dinner options are like. The caption that I shared in the picture explains what I ordered however, they have many other foods, so much so that their breakfast menu was front and back alone. Other members of my party also got bacon, grits, and/or toast and said that it was also amazing.

    I've been interested in trying this place so my friend invited me and said I needed to try it so that was two confirmations lol. Very clean and well maintained on the inside and outside, staff was great and so was our waitress. I would say the only issue I had was the eggplant was cold other than that. A great experience, I was told the breakfast is good so I will definitely be back sometime soon!

    BHD Crab Benedict
    Fina K.

    Herd this place is pretty awesome! So I had to try mostly cause I'm all about breakfast. The inside decor clean and modern. The service was great. I ordered the "BHD Crab Benedict " and it was the bomb! Most places do not auto add tomatoes and spinach, but this place does. And no skimping here. Just look at my pic. I always have the hollandaise sauce on the side, cause I like to add my own amount of sauce.Home fries also tasty! Also side of bacon and they gave about 5 strips most places only give you 3. Definitely worth the buck all the way! Will definitely come back and try other tasty dishes!

    The food is good. Not great but good. The interior is very nice and clean. The service on the other hand is hit or miss. I was here on a Monday @ 10am. They are not busy especially for the amount of staff they have here. My food was delivered to me fast. Ok great. But the waitress dropped off the food and never came back to check on my party. Oh and it was a party of 2. I got toast with my breakfast and you didn't bring me jelly or stop back to check to know I'd like jelly. My coffee was then left to sit empty for half my meal. The only reason they are getting two stars is because the food was good. Then when I'm done eating you bring me the bill. Never was asked if we wanted anything else. Just dropped the bill and walked away. Then 1 minute later you're coming to ask if you're ready for me to pay. No, no I'm not. You paid more attention to me to get money than to provide service. Shame on you.

    This restaurant is not far from me and it's been on my list as a place I need to try for breakfast. So I finally decided to go and give it a try! Was greeted immediately by a friendly hostess. There was no wait I assumed I missed the breakfast rush because I got there around 10:30am! I asked the waitress what does she recommend the French toast or pancakes she informed me that the french toast is really good and very popular. So I decided to give it a try with a side of home fries. The French toast was your typical French toast nothing fancy, no complaints. The home fries were okay a little undercooked but good in flavor. I would definitely go back and would definitely recommend. I might have to try lunch there. By the way they had what appeared to be delicious looking cake. So I might have to stop by to get a slice.

From the moment we arrived, the hostess, Milk, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. She made us feel valued from the start, and throughout the evening she continued to provide excellent service to every table she assisted. She truly deserves recognition and a promotion. Unfortunately, our assigned server provided one of the worst dining experiences I've had. After taking our food and drink order, she returned only with our drinks and then disappeared for 15-20 minutes without checking on us. My friend's daughter's entrée arrived before our appetizers, and our appetizer--fried hard chicken wings--didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later. When we asked about the delay, the server said it was because we requested the wings to be fried hard. She then made a comment about "Black people in the kitchen cooking." Whether she intended it as a joke or not, the comment was unprofessional and made us uncomfortable. Because of the poor service and attitude, we asked if another server could assist us. While Milk continued to be wonderful, another employee with purple-blue hair was also very rude when we asked for assistance. Her attitude was dismissive and unpleasant. Later in the evening, around 11 p.m., I asked a staff member near the kitchen if they had lids for our seafood buckets. She responded "No" with an attitude. I then asked if they had to-go cups, and she said they did but claimed she was off duty. Less than 30 seconds later, she went behind the bar and began making and serving drinks, which made her response even more confusing. Shortly afterward, she began arguing with my friend at our table for no apparent reason. At that point, we asked Milk to get the manager. The manager came over, sat down with us, listened to our concerns, and apologized. He explained that he was actually off that day but had come in to help support the restaurant. We appreciated that he took the time to hear us out and said he would address the issues with his staff. The food itself was good, but good food cannot make up for poor customer service and disrespectful attitudes. We wanted this to be a memorable celebration for my friend's daughter, not an evening spent dealing with rude employees. Customer service is just as important as the food. Sadly, because of the experience we had, we will not be returning. I hope management invests in better customer service training because employees like Milk show what great hospitality should look like, while others left a very negative impression.

I wanted a place with seafood and wings and this was legitimately the perfect spot I didn't know even existed. I got the #7 combo - 6 wings (honey garlic pepper), 6 shrimp, 2 fish (tilapia), and 2 chicken tenders with old bay fries. It was $30 after tax, which was good. Order was placed at 5pm and I was told it would be 15 mins. It was ready in about 11 minutes, very quick. The wings were decent, not horrible but not great. I would get a different flavor next time. The fish was so crispy omg; Fries hot and fresh. I wish shrimp was more breaded, however. I feel like I got more than what came, which make this a STEAL! We got so much food. It was great, especially for seafood. The other seafood places I looked at were crazy ridiculous in price. One downside: The sweet tea wasn't good, lol. The portion size made up for that. Also, they gave out a free phone stand with their logo on it. So cool and great marketing! I thought it was mistake at first. I definitely would return and I recommend this place.

The batter is too thick to let you enjoy the succulent oyster which ended up too dry. The cold slaw is a nice touch to give some crunch but they put too much of it, plus pickles, plus tomatoes and shredded cheese (what?) everything made the po'boy soggy!

I wasn't big on the tartar sauce, it was a bit pickley. Coleslaw was nothing special. Hushpuppies were quite good though. Had a good crust and flavor, soft enough on the inside to not need butter to melt out the density. Fries were alright, pretty standard there. I was most surprised about the fish. They look a bit pale, but they were pretty crispy. Fish tasted clean, if anything it needed salt. I also didn't realize it was going to be a bunch of pieces of fish, I ended up with a box it was too much! For dessert, I got their coconut pie. I can't say I would recommend it. If you do get it, it'd be best to ask for it warm. It is not a coconut cream pie, it has a thin layer of cream, and the rest is toasted coconut shavings on top. The piece itself was a little small, at least compared to the mud pie slice. I would have rather gotten that if I had known better.
