Been wanting to come here for all the reviews! I am no food snob but i wasn't that impressed. I order a omelette and grits. The omelette was very fluffy and looked good but 0 flavor... i had bacon and ham with mozzarella but just tasted like egg... mozzarella was in the middle very fresh. The coffee was very good. And service was great. I will have to come back and try something else on menu before i decide if it on the "i did it so i don't have to go again list" read more

THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!! The Staff is very welcoming and plenty of smiles all around. First time attending Sunday Brunch and it will be forever marked as a Favorite. The inside is clean and the outdoor patio area is well organized. PLEASE, PLEASE do not leave without trying their full line of different flavor Mimosas. Definitely grab a home made Peach Mojito if it's available! read more

"Ok, I'm done with my food but I wish I wasn't," I told my boyfriend wistfully as I put my fork down after demolishing my Seafood Omelette. I picked up my mimosa to finish the last of it. I was spaced out partly because of the food coma and partly because in my head, I was already planning my next visit to Citrus. Yes, my experience was that good. I came to Citrus around 7:15am on a Saturday morning. I'm glad we got there early because we did not have to wait to get seated nor did we have an extremely long wait for our food. Our server was great by the way. She was patient and helpful while we tried to figure out what to order which was difficult because everything on the menu looked so good! We decided to order the Spanish Omelette & Seafood Omelette (both yummy), a stack of pancakes, two cups of She-crab soup, and $3 mimosas. Everything was phenomenal. Our omelettes were super fluffy and flavorful, the pancakes were a little on the dense side but still good, and the she-crab soup was packed with delicious goodness. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were my grits. I love grits but their grits did not cut it for me but it's okay. Next time, I'll just order the hash-browns instead because my boyfriend loved them. His hash-browns disappeared before I tucked into my Omelette. If you decide to go to Citrus on a weekend, I definitely recommend coming here early. By 8:45, Citrus was already filling up. There are certainly more pricier items on the menu like their seasonal soft shell crab eggs Benedict but overall, Citrus dishes up really amazing food with great ambience for amazing prices. The interior is very appealing which is a plus. Ok. I'll say it. Citrus is my favorite breakfast/brunch joint in Virginia Beach thus far. Did I make you want to visit Citrus? Good. Let's go. I'm ready. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always delicious and comes out looking great!

Our second time in citrus! What made me want to come back are their bloody Mary's. They are so good! The wait is usually always long. About 35 mins to an hour wait. But they do have an outside waiting area with shade and cute outdoor furniture. It was a beautiful weather today so we didn't mind waiting so long. As always, you can get a drink while you wait. The waitress we had today was super nice. It's my birthday today and they said they don't give out free desserts for bdays, but my fiancé asked her again one on one and she was so nice to come out and surprise me with a banana cake Food was good per usual. Their home fries are my favorite! read more

Had a chance to experience the citrus...twice, both times with a friend -who has relocated and I miss her sooo much. back onto the citrus: we had breakfast both times, the pancakes were awesome. They were great! They offer flavored pancakes, have flavored syrup -hot syrup. A huge Belgian waffle! oh, let's not leave out the Mamosa ! They have Mamosa options! and they were all lovely The seating is interesting, the ambience was great, the area is bright, the drinks are nice and the staff are pleasant too!! I recommend it, and I intend to go back Soon read more

Went here trice before giving my review...first visit tried the soft-shell crab Benedict and it was a bust...didn't enjoy it at all (I love blue crabs and had totally been looking forward to it/believed the hype) perhaps this was an off day but it took me 6 months to come back. on my second visit I opted for steak and eggs...it was alright, under seasoned but not bad... would try something else next time if I come back. Although this place hasn't wow'ed me its not bad, the drinks are decent, the staff is alright, and perhaps I've just had a couple off visits. read more

So I've been here twice. This is my second time. My first time was great... the fresh squeezed juice is amazing! I ate the soft shell crab Benedict and it was awesome! I tried the flax seed oatmeal as well and also great! The food is amazing... the wait is longer than I'd like but I must say the food is good. This time was odd... I come in and someone grabs our drink order. Our drinks come and we haven't met our waitress. 5 mins later, our waitress arrives to take our order and this woman made us feel like we were bothering her. It was an odd feeling and right in this moment, I want to ask to change my server just so that this woman who is probably having a bad day, doesn't receive a bad tip. We just ordered our food and I hate how someone's negative energy can change how you feel about a place. I was excited about coming today! Now I just want to hurry up and eat so I can leave. What's worse is this woman is training someone and I pray this lovely person picks up none of this waitress's bad habits. read more

I don't understand how this place has 4 stars. It's a dressed up Denny's. Eggs tasted synthetic, hash browns were mushy and undercooked. The coffee might as well have been water. The table next to us also complained about the awful food and couldn't even eat it. Truly terrible. read more

Food was very pedestrian. Staff seemed uninterested in making recommendations. Will probably not venture there again read more

Great little spot in Virginia Beach. Did not know this was a triple D spot. Normally on trips we check for one but we forgot this time. Glad to know we made it to one anyway. I'd recommend checking this place out. Great selection of mimosas and the service was great. read more

A friend andI ate here on a Sunday morning about 9. We walked in and we seated right away. The decor is bright and beach. However the music, although good was at a level that made it hard to talk or hear our server I ordered the chipotle shrimp eggs Benedict , the shrimp was cooked well and flavorful. The hollindase sauce wasn't very good and my eggs very hard boiled not poached. The addition of fresh avacado was good My friend had soft shell crab benidict, neither of us cared for that so she ordered a side of crab meat. That was good. The bacon was very good. Breakfast totaled 58.00 with no adult beverages. All in all ok but would stick to good old bacon and eggs. read more

Atmosphere is nice. I like how they've got a theme going on and I thought the place was clean until I received a coffee mug with lipstick on it. It was not stained, it came right off. Strike one. We received our plates all at the same time. My food came out hot, although two of my other breakfast party members said their food was cold. Either use a heat lamp or make the food come out on time to be served appropriately. Strike two. Steak was also over cooked when we both asked for medium rare. It's not like this is an Applebee's where I can expect that level of inattention to what one is cooking, but it seems a little silly and ironic given what reputation this place has been given from their accolades on the wall and our friend's recommendation. I'm more disappointed that the meal we had didn't live up to the expectations of how it was last time. Probably won't come here again. read more

wow. First time going and we will definitely be back. This place is always busy but with very good reason. Staff was on point and SOOOOOOOOO friendly. The food....their food rivals the quality that we've experienced in four and five star restaurants. Atmosphere was bright and energetic but cozy at the same time. Can I give 10 stars? read more

Absolutely love the soft shell crab egg Benedict here! Supper fresh crab and awesome hollandaise sauce! The French toast was also pretty good. I recommend coming here if you're in the mood for a good brunch! read more

Amazing service and exceptional food! A rare find! My wife ordered the citrus pancakes and the pineapple curd topping was creative and amazing. You just don't find that in any restaurant for breakfast. I ordered the shrimp and crab benedict and can honestly say without hesitation it was the best eggs benedict I've ever eaten. Each layer, from the perfectly toasted English muffin, the nutty spinach, the sweet tomato, the chunks of lump crab, the grilled shrimp, the perfectly pouched eggs, and the delicious Hollandaise sauce!! Can't say anything more about Citrus. A rare 5 star! read more

I wasn't thrilled about Citrus and I have to say that I was a let down. People have hyped it up for me so when I went I expected so much more than what I got. Saturday afternoon was slightly busy, there was maybe a 20 minute wait, which isn't bad. Once we were seated I quickly ordered a mimosa and it thankfully lived up to the hype. The menu was pretty fun to look at, there are a few items with "citrus' in their titles which drew me to their citrus pancakes. But, my food was boring really, and not very memorable I am not sure if I just wasn't hungry or if it truly was nothing to rave about. I will say that I would like to try eating here again. The mimosa I had was great and not overpriced and I think this day was just an off day for them food wise. read more

I usually have a great experience with citrus, but I wouldnt reccomend getting food to go. I got a shrimp and crab bene, an omelet, and chocolate chip pancakes. The crab bene is decent but potatoes are kinda undercooked . The omelet came out a out 30 minutes before anything else so was for sure cold once other food came out. Also the chocolate chip pancakes just had a big pile of chips in the middle . read more

I really wanted to like this place ...but they really bombed it. 30 minutes to get seated.. Soups came fast and were both tasty...BUT I found a hair in the friggen She Crab soup, didn't want to make a big stink about it because I was with friends and didn't want to make a scene. Had an empty mimosa glass for 15 minutes.. The server was friendly, just not exactly good at her job.. 40 more minutes to get a BLT and a wrap...are you kidding me????? Server forget to put in one of the side orders for eggs...so they never came. BLT and shrimp wrap were also good but the potato salad was so bland.. Watched as another server carried too many plates at one time and had the bottom of a plate touching the food on another plate..seriously? Just don't waste your money.. Literally the longest brunch I have ever sat through. read more

This was my first time here, we decided to do brunch for Valentine's Day my honey and I; and I had heard about this place ease dropping at the beauty salon. Anyways as soon as we walked in I loved it, the atmosphere was light and airy, and the staff very welcoming. I love bright open spaces and this restaurant has plenty of room to move around. We were immediately greeted by someone who took our drink orders, which we ordered the Tropical and Pineapple mimosas, both were excellent! Yes I admit I drank some of his too, hey I had to try it! For our meal I ordered the potatoe pancakes, with eggs, sausage patties, and wheat toast, I also ordered grits but found my eyes were bigger then my stomach will ever be. My babe ordered the Cavalier, with sausage gravy! OMG everything I put in my mouth was beyond words, I am a true breakfast lover and this breakfast is definitely something to love. I will definitely return to try every mimosa on their menu, oh...and some more excellent and unique food as well! For dessert I ordered the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake cupcake... to go.. if you get my drift! Happy Valentine's Day read more

This place is bright and welcoming. They were even selling while fruit and veggies to take home (watermelons and tomatoes). I haven't been disappointed with any meal I've ordered yet. They also have a larger mimosa selection to choose from. The dessert cakes are delicious and are huge slices. Enjoy! read more

So here is the thing. The food is always great, courteous staff etc. The failure is in the fact that going is always an ordeal. Long wait, parking... all the things that make you question if it's worth it. We often don't go for those reasons despite the good food. Today, we were sent from the N. great neck location to the other with the promise of a table being ready when we got there. Instead? Another 30 minute wait-- after driving all the way here.

I've dined in at Citrus and also have gotten take-out. I feel the food is bland and portions are absolutely tiny for the price. The staff is very friendly and the mimosas are great. Always a super long wait to be seated on weekends, as with most brunch spots in Virginia Beach. read more

If you read my reviews, I'm undoubtedly a fan of brunch. Thankfully, my boyfriend is totally a brunch-a-holic too, so we're on the same page when it comes to our weekend plans. VB has so many great spots, so we're slowly making our way through all the offerings. Citrus is an amazing business with two locations, the original location being made popular by Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I'm sure you can imagine that with this kind of publicity, it's a pretty popular joint. We visited the OG location, which offers valet parking and an amazing bar area to grab a boozy sip while waiting. Our wait was around 30 minutes during peak weekend time, which was completely ok with us. Let me warn you, the menu is extensive, which makes it challenging to narrow down your selection. I'm a brunch purist and go with traditional breakfast offerings always, so my choice of a combo plate with French toast, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns was totally on-point. My boyfriend loved his combo platter with similar offerings (except he chose banana pancakes). We both loved our orders, along with our amazing server. Definitely check out Citrus (and try the Citrus mimosa!) read more

Order soft shell crab if they have it, obviously. My husband and I shared the soft shell crab sandwich and the soft shell crab eggs Benedict. Both were delicious, though if I had to choose between the two, I'd take the eggs benedict all day. Ask for a side of mayo or tartar with the sandwich, as it comes with no dressing. The soft shell eggs benedict are perfect as they come. Melt-in-your mouth good! (Also as seen on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives) I ordered my hash browns extra crispy and was not disappointed. The mimosas are also delicious and huge for $3! The wait for a large crowd was rather long, but well worth it. Smaller crowds were seated much more quickly. We waited about 40 minutes for a party of 8. *If you have kids, order their meals first as pancakes take just as long to come out. But my son said they were delicious! read more

This place is a victim of it's own success. In the past I have enjoyed my visits but only when I can make it during the middle of the week and off hours. If you want to come here on the weekend plan to wait. The downside is that the busier they get, the more industrial the food becomes. While I have no experience running a restaurant, I am amazed when a place can't turn tables and there is no hit of urgency or planning for a surge. Citrus is ALWAYS busy on the weekend. Due to the DDD effect, food tourists find this place. Locals won't be found near it because it isn't worth the wait. read more

As always, the people were friendly and the food was very tasty! The thing I like most about the place is how bright and cheerful is always is..The food today was good except I have to say, the breakfast Burrito I ordered was on the small Side...(Just saying in case others decided to order it)....Considering what's going on in the world today (Ukraine), getting a "small" breakfast burrito hardly qualifies as a huge issue...We live on the other side of town, but I'm sure we'll come back the next time we're in the area... read more

Excellent brunch experience in Virginia Beach! The grapefruit juice was fresh squeezed and came in a nice tall glass. Our waitress listed off the daily specials- ranging from rockfish Benedict to a Thai Benedict. The menu is incredibly fresh. I ordered the lump crab Benedict. It is served with a hashbrown cake as one choice of a side. Everything tasted great. The decor is very fresh and sets the experience for a local, fresh meal. read more

Good food and good service for a reasonable price. There was quite a bit of wait time , but that's understandable for a good brunch spot on a Sunday morning. We ordered a regular eggs benny and the jumbo lump crab benny, side of fresh fruit with a mocha and a regular coffee. It was all under $40.00. I needed to add a bit of salt and pepper to my plate, but other than that, it was delicious. The fruit was truly cut fresh. The service was great, especially for how busy it was. The food came out within 10 min of ordering and our server checked on us frequently. All in all, it was a great experience! read more

Oh I really like this new location. I've been avoiding it for a while because the wait here is RIDICULOUS all the time - I always see people when driving by on weekend waiting outside in packs to get in and eat the yummies here - so I've avoided it and continued to visit the original a little further down off Shore drive. Yesterday we called en route and found that the wait was around 10 minutes - so we decided to finally give it a try. I really like their parking lot - it's huge and circles the building so there is A LOT of parking - they have an expansive bar area with plenty of seating and room for standing and waiting when the lines get bad. We easily found a seat after putting our names in and waited. It was pretty much exactly 10 minutes. Our friend wasn't there yet so we had to wait for her to show up before being seated but she arrived about 5 minutes later and we were sat at the next available booth. The inside is very light and airy and clean with the colors of citrus fruits all over - green, yellow, orange and it just makes you feel happy. Does that seem cheesy? Probably but I dgaf. It's true. I was there for delicious breakfast and it was a cold and rainy day so the cute little citrus lemon and orange painting adoring the walls and the glass square cutouts in the center make the place light and fun. If you've been to one Citrus it's the same so the food is the exact same menu. I got, of course, the pumpkin pancakes with the maple sugar glaze (with an extra side for $1 because I wanna smother myself in that shit and lick it off) and turkey sausage and eggs. As always, delicious. I always get the virgin Citrus drink which is 3 different types of juice, I think pineapple, orange and cranberry mixed together. It's delicious! They have tons of things on their menu I want to try and some healthy options with egg-whites and other things I will at some point. But my husband and I both really liked this location - it's larger with more seating (it seems), more spacious and open and airy and has plenty of parking which is something we hate about the other location. We'll be back - unless the wait is 2 hours long --- then we might just decide to travel down memory lane to the flagship store! lol. read more
