Although we sat outside (because we were dining with a dog), we never had to wait too long for the waitress to check on us. Every 5-10 minutes, she dropped by to make sure things were going well and to refill our coffee. Since The Egg Bistro has a HUGE breakfast menu, I'm sure everyone should be able to find something that they will/might enjoy. For my dining pleasure, I tried something new and went with the Bennie & the Grits. This dish piqued my interest because I never heard of grits cakes in the four decades of living on this planet. For about 20 bucks, the dish included three fried grit cakes with ground sausage, grilled shrimp, more sausage, two poached eggs and a side. Although the serving size was HUGE, I was not a bit fan of the dish. Note, I didn't think the dish was prepared badly, I just didn't get the concept of the fried grits (this from a grits lover); however, everything else with the dish was pretty good. If you are a Bloody Mary lover, you might some interesting varieties of Bloody Marys here. Additionally, I really appreciated that The Egg Bistro ranks the Bloody Marys based on spice level. Overall, I definitely would not mind visiting this location during a future trip to Va Beach. The only (very) minor issue that I had was that the outdoor seating is right next to the parking lot so you might experience some exhaust fumes/smoke while eating if you chose to dine outside. Again, this would not have been a (very) minor issue if we were not dining with a dog.

The food arrived pretty quickly. I ordered the veggie lovers omelette without the mushrooms and w/ biscuits and potatoes. Everything tasted fresh and not too greasy. I thought the addition of avocados without the upcharge was nice. Too bad they didn't have marmalade for jelly choices but if that's the only complaint I have, I'd say it's pretty good. I wouldn't mind returning again in the future thanks to the nice service and decent food with good portions and pricing.

I'm down for that tho because the ambiance and outdoorzy garden area is always chill for sun vibes and photos. Once you're seated that wait time will be well worth it bc everything on the menu is A1 but those Pungonian Shrimp & Grits!..... My God! An banger every time no questions. The steak and eggs, the pancakes, the mimosa flights, etc, Everything is worth the try! And oh...those biscuits.....with the butter and jam...man oh man. Outside of wait time and drive its a 5/5 stars. If i was one of those people who are mad impatient i would sit this one out bc you're gonna be chillin but if you're like me and like to chill, just get there early and enjoy! Won't disappoint. A banger for sure. Top tier breakfast/brunch location !

I highly recommend trying the cinnamon roll. It's served warm, loaded with sweet glaze, and is large enough to share with up to four people. We also ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy and a chorizo omelette, substituting the goat cheese for cheddar. Both dishes were outstanding and offered great value for the price. The wait can be long, especially on weekends, but the experience while waiting actually adds to the charm. There's an outdoor bar with plenty of drinks to choose from, covered patios for relaxing, and even board games to enjoy while you wait for your table. The service was excellent from start to finish. Free valet parking is also available, though tipping is definitely encouraged. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in the Virginia Beach area

It is our favorite breakfast spot and they have wonderful lunch too. Great menu. Omelettes are perfect. Nice and fluffy and plenty to fill you up. Fried wontons are good too. Pancakes are perfect and fluffy and I think they taste like vanilla. So yummy. I pair mine with the link sausage because I like salty and sweet. The chicken fried steak is my usual and I love it . We tried the corned beef hash and that was amazing with scrambled eggs and French toast. The French toast is exactly the way I like it. The lunch sandwiches are so good with nice fresh veggies and the bread is butter toasted. Oh my goodness!!! So yummy. Honestly this is a LOCALS favorite place to eat. When you go you will see people that go more than once a week in there. If we have family or friends in town this is our go to spot. I highly recommend going and enjoying. It has a home town feel to it

They've made some updates since my last review. I noticed they swapped out the bar stools for what seem to be a bit more accommodating in style. They added cushion to the church benches, although they are a bit "grippy". They updated the other bar and also the outside area. I believe they have a cornhole section and from what I could tell, an area that could be really fun during the warmer months. The overall vibe is so quirky, cool, different, and I just love how it's decorated. The other locations have the same sort of intrigue but in much different ways. I still love the OG Bay Local and probably need to visit there again to be reminded of why we fell in love in the first place, but the location on General Booth... hard to beat, especially being so close. Another positive is the food quantity, quality, and price for what you are getting. Sure, almost every food establishment had to raise their price, but Bay Local seem to be very reasonable, ESPECIALLY for what you get. I know several other places that have good food, but you are paying several dollars more for what Bay Local offers that is similar (in some cases) but not slacking on portion control and quality. That is huge! Bay Local is a "well-oiled machine" with management, staff, and operations (not their first rodeo). The staff are attentive, friendly, fast in service, including fixing anything that may not have been correct, and still hold the quality of what they offer. Congrats to a great establishment, and it will remain on the top slots of our brunch list!

They were busy but hustling, not a long wait at all even though it was a Sunday during prime time. The waitresses were attentive & fast paced. Everyone worked as a team so no one was forgotten which was great. 10/10 recommend & I cannot wait to go back. This location does have tight parking and because the location is a little small, accommodating large groups seemed to be possible but with a wait & a little tricky. Best bet would be to call ahead for groups larger than 4 & be patient while waiting. Bar area is first come first serve (there's 2 bar locations, one central dining and one small one in the back of house). Come in hungry & ready to be kind to wait staff as they are totally kicking butt at their service game! :)

So most of us would TIP then. However it was in customer service that they get a. F / one star. Asked several times about food told twice they would check. Then nobody got back to us. It was only when my wife got up and asked the cashier / manager that there seemed to be some moemt. When she did bring our food and I complained about the wait she said they were busy. When I suggested that maybe when someone's ordering their meal they are told you won't get served for at least 30 minutes. She made a few more excuses. She could have earned a few pints if she would have asked if she could refill our drinks, that is usually self service. So my recommendations. go when nobody is there, and do not expect good customer service.

But the staff moved the line pretty quick and the food came out in a decent time. We were able to eat before playing which worked out well and I had to focus on my serious bingo playing. HAHA. I opted for the sandpiper bowl. The grilled chicken was amazing. It had great flavor and the charred marks were what really did it for me. It added to the flavor! I ate all that tasty chicken. My friend loved her food as well. Their burgers looked good, and the buns looked so scrumptious. The menu is a decent size which a lot of great offerings. I could use a little more dessert options. but it was not a deal breaker. Oooo Also can we get on the mocktail train. I noticed there are more and more people looking for mocktails including the DDs. The staff were working so hard getting orders out. Taylor was amazing. She had such a good attitude and made sure we were taking care of. The seating is indoors, outdoors, and on covered patio. So you have a selection to choose from. I noticed it is a good area for families to come as there is a little outdoor play area for children.

My best friend got the same wrap with a lavender flavored iced latte, and she really enjoyed it as well. The wrap itself was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. While we were there, a small business vendor was selling her handmade scarf jewelry, which I thought was such a nice touch. I love when one local business supports another.

Our thoughts: Service: there was a breakdown in communication we requested to be seated outside and no one was assigned to take our order. So we had to go fetch someone to be serviced. They apologized. We were waiting to receive a steak knife to cut our fried chicken they forgot to bring that. Our server was very informative when asked about the restaurant concept and menu. She and the person she was training were very friendly. Food: we applaud the concept and the risk to infuse various cultures into the menu. Portion size for a $5 side of home fries was disappointing we are thinking it was maybe a half of a potato. The menu is diverse and the price point isn't bad. Ambiance: ok, we sat outside. We liked the diversity of customers coming in. Unfortunately this is a one and done for us and not because we are visiting just because we are food critics and know what we like.

I ordered the Williamsburg Bagel, which consisted of lox, plain cream cheese, tomato, capers, and red onion. I originally wanted it on an Everything bagel, but since they were out, I went with a Garlic bagel instead. Even though it was a tad bit crowded, my sandwich was ready in about 5 mins. I've had the Williamsburg Bagel before so I was excited to enjoy it again but I wasn't a big fan of the thick-cut red onions they added on there, and I actually love onions! Unfortunately, I ended up taking most of them off. I also wish it had more cream cheese, the thin layer on the bottom just wasn't enough for me. That said, the bagel itself was fresh and overall, the sandwich tasted good. At almost $20, it did feel a little pricey for a bagel sandwich, but I enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back to try other options. The interior is full of Brooklyn pictures, which I love! Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

My husband and a friend came here on a Thursday morning to order 6 items and they were gone for almost an hour (it was a 10 minute drive from where we stayed). They come back with a bag of "bagels" (if that's what you want to call them) drenched in ketchup. Our orders were extremely simple: BEC w/PK on a plain bagel Egg and cheese on a croissant BEC w/PK on an asiago bagel Taylored Ham, egg & cheese on a bagel Toasted everything bagel with lox & cream cheese Here is everything that went wrong: 1. The bagel store didn't offer BACON, so we ended up substituting for sausage. The sausage patty was probably the size of my kid's palm- that's how small it was. The eggs were overcooked and had no taste, but don't worry, they'll make sure to smother the entire bagel with ketchup to make up for it. 2. TOASTED bagel with lox & cream cheese- bagel was not toasted, and there wasn't any lox available. 3. Egg & cheese on a croissant- the place didn't have any croissants... so had to substitute this for a roll 4. It was the chef's second day in the kitchen. Bagels alone wasn't great quality..it was edible enough, but extremely chewy and stiff, especially after taking so long to prepare the orders and with two people working in a place that is seemingly popular with the Yelp Community, the amount of time it took this order to be ready was a little ridiculous. I ordered the same thing back home the following day and it took less time to make here in NJ than it did here on a non-busy day with just my husband and friend as their sole customer at the time.
