I have been wanting to try this restaurant out for a long time now. We finally hit the bullet and went in a Sunday. The wait was only 20mins and we were told it's usually 2hrs especially during the busy summer season. We ordered omelettes, pancakes, French toast and everything was so good!! Definitely a great spot for breakfast/brunch. They have lots to choose from and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Great spot on oceanfront. read more

A terrific place for breakfast. Their Belgian waffles are incredible and they serve everything you would expect for an American breakfast. Many are unique & delicious. The restaurant is a bit crowded and you may have to wait. They give you a pager that buzzes when a table is available. The service is wonderful and the decor is very entertaining. If you want, you can wait for a table by sitting in a mock Indian teepee and have your photograph taken for free. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant that charges read more

My husband and I went here on a Saturday morning and this place was crowded. It's big but busy. We had to wait for about 45 minutes. However, service was quick . I had the French toast and it was really good. Portion was huge. read more

Expect a wait here; the line is often out the door. Despite the name, I skipped the flapjacks and waffles to try the breakfast burrito. It was just okay, nothing special. The peppered bacon was far too dry, though the home fries hit the mark--perfectly crispy with those nice burnt edges I look for. Staff is friendly and the service is solid. read more

There was a long line outside for the wait but I guess since there were only two of us we got a table after 5 minutes. The place is your normal greasy diner. The food such as the sausage and pancakes, was tasty but you could taste how unhealthy it was. The service was nice and it is one of those places where you go and pay up at the front. It is not a bad place and if I was nearby and wanted to really go out for breakfast I think I would go back and just get order something less greasy. read more

Quite possibly the best breakfast I've ever had and I eat breakfast every single morning. As someone who can never make up my mind and is always brutally torn between sweet and savory - the sampler platter option absolutely nailed it. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, and waffles all one one plate! All for only $15 so at that price why not go all out and add on some strawberries and chocolate chips plus a side of home fries! The kitchen is like a well oiled machine- service was great! Going to lay my ass on the beach now read more

Went here for breakfast while visiting Virginia Beach,Va and the place was packed and they close @ 1:00 PM but it was Sooooo many ppl in there. After experiencing the food & service - I see why. All the food was so good and it came out fast; as well as perfectly seasoned; absolutely outstanding and delicious. It's something about good cooked food that just does something to your soul - SMH - Food was bomb read more

Very rude and entitled staff. We were told the wait was 20 minutes... fine... then some older looking, European women whom seemed to be a manger of whatnot rudely says to my boys " excuse me"... honey I left on that note. read more

Very busy, but fast. Food was great! Couldn't split the check, so keep that it mind if it's something you need to do. I can see why the place was so busy though!!! read more

There's a reason this is a staple restaurant of Virginia Beach. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff are so friendly, and everything comes out quick. The restaurant is always packed with a line waiting to come in but you don't feel rushed nor does it feel loud or overbearing inside. Every year when we come for my son's baseball tournament, we stop in here. The Belgian waffle was absolutely amazing! My daughter was tired and fussy and our server did everything he could to help ease her fussiness. read more

Get there early as it fills up fast but don't worry, the service is friendly and attentive! The food is amazing and their take out is as fast and fresh as dining in. Great experience each and every time! read more

We walked in on a Saturday morning at 8 AM. It was busy but had several tables to choose from. Definitely a local joint right across from the beach. Waitress came within three minutes to take our order . They have a wide variety of whatever you want, including gluten-free waffles, gluten-free pancakes, and a healthy menu.. if you're severe celiac, they do cross contaminate in the kitchen. The tables are very close together, but it's a fun place and it's great for kids. Emma was our waitress and was super helpful, quick and lovely! read more

The waffles are beasts! Great food and service! Worth a stop, but be sure you're hungry!

The waffles are really good here! Their kids meal comes with a half waffle and 2 pieces of bacon (or you can choose other meats). It was decently busy at 7:30 am on a Sunday too. read more

Pocahontas Pancakes - Kids meal - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This a good breakfast place, but it's a churn and burn type of place. You must have your whole party present to be sat. One of the hostess was very adamant about that. We had to squeeze into our table and they even asked to squeeze tighter so that the party next to us could sit. So be prepared to be in close proximity to others. I can't say I was impressed by the food. The bacon was crispy, but the sausage was mediocre. The breakfast potatoes were not like your typical square breakfast potatoes you usually get at most places. They were more like boiled potatoes that were sort of stir fried after, but most of them were very soft and not crispy and very plain. The servers were friendly and are the main reason why I gave them 3 stars. Overall, I think this is a huge tourist spot that is overhyped. read more

We visit Virginia Beach every year with the kids from NoVA Pocahontas is a mandatory stop. Short and sweet - wonderful breakfast! Loved the egg Benedict with crab meat, kids loved their waffles snd wife and I were tugging at her waffle. Highlight? Frank was the highlight because he has a delightful personality and embodies hospitality! read more

Went here Saturday morning around 9:30 am and there was a line almost wrapped around the building. Mind you, they open at 7 lol. It was just 2 of us so we thankfully only had a 20-25 minute wait. Once we got in there, the inside was very very tight and it was overly packed. Every table was filled. I really don't like seating like this because we were right elbow to elbow to the people next to us on each side and basically hearing each other's conversations. I also don't have what my mom would call a "mother's ear" yet lol so being sat next to a little baby who was crying the whole time, wasn't fun at all (2/10). Our food came out fairly quickly, which was nice. I ordered the Nutella Belgian waffle combo that came with eggs, bacon, and sausage and I ordered a side of home fries (7/10). There was no seasoning on the eggs or the home fries so they were both very bland. My original two pieces of bacon were pitiful looking, but the waitress noticed that herself while handing me my plate and took the initiative to bring me two extra pieces of bacon, so thank you for that. We also had the Spanish scramble omelette that came with home fries and got pancakes on the side, again lacked in seasoning and def needed some spice. Overall, I feel like the place is a popular local spot maybe even a little overhyped than it needs to be. I do plan to come back and try some their other menu items and see if I'm still feeling the same way. The wait time, though, comparing to what I saw other people doing, seems very long and not really worth it. I probably will not come with a group next time just so I'm able to avoid the long wait times again. My overall rate of experience : 5/10 read more

We came around 8ish and had to wait at least 20 mins. Breakfast food was amazing, just something about American breakfast and hot coffee just hits the spot for me. I ordered the Belgian strawberry waffle with bacon, sauage, and eggs and that was delicious. It was missing a toast, should have order one on the side. The rest of the family enjoyed their food, I didn't hear any complaints. This place is busy but it moves so don't steer away if you see a long line and people waiting out front. Definitely a keeper! read more

Service was good, but food very mediocre. Business trying to make as much money as possible so they force you if you're a twosome to sit with others. They sat us today next two 2 senior ladies right at their 4 top table so we were elbow to elbow with them. We asked to sit at the end of another table that was completely vacant but hostess told us it was only for a 4 some so we left. They also charge to use a credit card. read more

as a local , this is a place that i've always passed while down the oceanfront and wanted to try, but never got the opportunity bc they were closed (they close at 1p). me & my fam decided to check this out after checking out of our hotel . and i will definitely say , it was so worth it. when you walk in, it gives the vibe that you've walked into a cabin. decorations were kind of all over the place, but ..that's not why i was there . our server was on point . super friendly. now on to the food, i ordered a white grape juice, the turkey bacon omelette with cheese & spinach and got the side of pancakes. the food came out pretty quick. the food was an absolute hit. the omelette was delicious, but the pancakes ... amazing ! i think they put vanilla or something in them. superb. read more

No trip to Va Beach is complete unless you have breakfast at Pocahontas Pancakes. The food is consistently delicious. My go to is the pecan French toast. The coffee is amazing which is important since I drink it black. The staff is always friendly. It gets understandably busy in the summer but that makes it feel like a party! Plan to get there early! Take time to check out the murals while you're there. read more

Attending the Neptune Festival this weekend as a vendor. My hotel recommended this place for breakfast. It did not disappoint. The staff was welcoming and atmosphere inviting.

The food was amazing the service was excellent very welcoming. gives you like a mom vibe.

It's a very diner vibe kind of restaurant, so if that's what you're looking for this is the perfect place!! They have a lot of menu items, so just be prepared to not know what to order. I ordered the strawberry topped pancakes and corned beef hash with 2 eggs and french toast. Total came up to be around $27 surprisingly. Service was also good and staff were friendly!! Highly recommend, especially right after a walk on the boardwalk! PSA: you might have to walk a bit because of parking!! read more

Besides being culturally offensive by name and decor, if you have any food sensitivities, this is not the place to go. My food issues are not a fad; they are life-threatening. But after ordering gluten-free waffles & waiting for my non-dairy creamer (btw the waitress didn't know what "dairy" meant), she told me, laughing in my face, that they had no gluten-free waffles but I could eat toast. Maybe that crap works down here, but up North, you would have had way more pushback, mostly because laughing in a customer's face when they want food off of your menu that you don't have is considered rude, insensitive, and made me feel like shit. We also waited 30 minutes for me to leave hungry with extreme distrust and anger. read more

Interesting place. The portions are big. Food is decent. It's very busy and our waiter seemed very harried.

Cute spot for breakfast or brunch right off the beach walking path. The place does fill up fast but they provide a little buzzer and it moves fast. We only waited about 5 minutes. I went with the turkey avocado BLT. It came with tons of fries and was amazing. They have plenty of bread options and I went with sourdough. Great service and nice staff. Pay up front on your way out. read more

The place was packed but still only about a 20-30 minute wait. Once we got seated, the server greeted us quickly and was super friendly. Our drinks stayed full, both water and coffee. The food was well worth the price. For $14 I got the #1 Special (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes and 2 French toast). Most everything was great. Actually the pancakes were my least favorite. A little dry and tough. The French toast was perfect and the sausage was the right amount of spice and flavor. Definitely worth trying again for all the other menu items. read more

Service here is always awesome when my wife and i go. The food is always fresh and good! Coffee hot and fast! The place has a cool vintage dinner feel. I always have a great time when i eat here. Today we were a party of 11 and the server and staff accommodated us smoothly. I love you guys. Thank you! read more

They gave away our table when my husband was parking because our whole party was not there. Even though he had to find parking and was less than a minute walk from being there. It's understandable if the other party was driving and still 5-10 ninutes or more away, but when there little parking in Virginia Beach and the rest of the party is 2 minutes away. It's ridiculous. Teach your staff to use critical thinking skills in the future read more

I am from out of state so we used Yelp to find a breakfast place. Pocohontas Pancakes had ample seating in a traditional breakfast restaurant environment. A nice menu and real good service. Food quality was good, our server kept freshening our drinks and the food was out quickly and was hot. Overall good value and overall experience. We went back twice so I would recommend a visit. read more

Absolutely delicious food. The atmosphere was energetic it was busy without being excessively loud. The service staff was great. They were friendly. They were quick even though they had a over abundance of people in the restaurant. Highly recommend this to anyone that likes breakfast food. read more

The door and service is always great when I visit. This time, I could not make up my mind and the server was truly patient and kind enough to stand there and assist me for the ultimate meal for the time being That energy is what I get each and every visit. The food never disappoints and hot & fresh. The artwork is not new for me, while it feels great to see authentic art from our culture represented-- despite the truth behind the name. I love this place. read more

This is my second (and fourth if you count the two Google reviews I have wrote for this place). I cannot emphasize the greatness of this place enough. Not only is the food (especially pancakes, French toast, and waffles) fantastic but the service is first class. While there is a wait can be long this place has it down to a science. They get you in so FAST. My only complaint is the need another location closer to me!! Would come back 100 times over. Shoutout to MJ from Hollywood Studios for taking such great pictures! read more
