    My omelette with peppers, cheddar cheese and onions and tomatos, bacon, pancakes, bacon, and sausage patties!
    Dwayne H.

    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

    Kids meal

    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.

    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!

    Tourist breakfast staple along the VA Beach boardwalk, very good pancakes and really good coffee. Very loud when busy and currently has construction across the street that shakes the restaurant. Server was very attentive and personable.

    Nutella Belgian Waffle Combo Home Fries

    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

    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!

    Pecan French Toast

    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.

    Chicken & Belgian Waffle Combo

    The service was OUTSTANDING! Attentive to the point where you'll have to stop refills or float home. Great food options. Teenage boys made short work of their plates and ate everything! I had pancakes to take home (should've ordered a side version)! So good- cute place!

    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 so delicious and reasonably priced. So glad I decided to try while in town. This might be my weekend breakfast spot since it's across the street from my hotel.

    Service was friendly and efficient. Tables were very close together which made the restaurant feel very crowded. The food was good so it didn't really bother us.

    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.

It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!

Food came out very quick and they easily added things to my order. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Personally I definitely recommend adding an extra egg, jalapeños and cheese. The pancakes were solid too, albeit a bit pricy. The restaurant had great vibes and intentional design. Indoor does have limited seated but there is plenty of outdoor in the front and back. Well worth a visit!

The line moved quickly, and while the food took a little longer to come out, it was clearly made fresh and was flavorful and worth the wait. One thing I appreciated was how dog-friendly the atmosphere is, with dogs welcome both inside and outside. The seating is very much community-style, with shared tables and a family/neighborhood feel. We didn't mind it, but if you prefer more personal space or private seating, the close quarters may not be for you. Breakfast sandwiches were reasonably priced, generally in the $13-$15 range. My only real complaint came when I watched the top of my sandwich fall off while a crew member was moving plates around. The employee picked it up and placed it back on the sandwich with their hand after touching several other items behind the counter. It wasn't enough to ruin the experience, but it did bother me and left an impression. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty, the atmosphere was lively without being too loud, and the dog-friendly environment was a nice bonus.

I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.

    HISTORY ON AN ONION ROLL | THE EYE OPENER CONTINUES TO TEMPT TASTEBUDS, DECADES LATER…read more By Patrick Evans-Hylton For decades, the Belvedere Hotel was more than a place to stay. It was a familiar presence along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, a backdrop for everyday rituals and seaside routines. Tucked inside was the Belvedere Coffee Shop & Diner, a true neighborhood constant since opening in 1969. It was where mornings began with hot coffee and friendly nods, where breakfast and lunch meant dependable comfort, and where the pace of the beach slowed just enough to savor it. When the Belvedere was torn down, it felt like losing a quietly important piece of the Oceanfront's collective memory. That sense of memory carries forward at Belvedere South inside the tony Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel. The new space honors the past without freezing it in time. Bright blue walls set against crisp white instantly recall the diner's cheerful spirit. Large windows allow light to flood the space. Cushy banquettes are a comfortable welcome, inviting you to settle in and linger. The menu stays true to its roots with classic breakfast and lunch dishes that feel familiar and reassuring. Anchoring it all is the legendary Eye Opener sandwich, returned to its rightful place as both signature and symbol. In this new setting, the Belvedere legacy lives on, refreshed but recognizable, a reminder that some traditions deserve to be carried forward with care and confidence. The Eye Opener remains the heart of the menu, and one bite explains its legend. A perfectly fried egg anchors the sandwich, its yolk just rich enough to soften the layers beneath. From a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, we chose the latter; each brings its own salty, savory character. Melted cheese binds everything together, draping the egg and meat in comfort. All of it is tucked into a lightly toasted onion roll that adds a gentle sweetness and just enough bite to stand up to the fillings. Chef Ray Ray Labuen, who wore the tall toque at the former Belvedere, is closely tied to the Eye Opener its careful steward. Then there are the tomatoes, the detail that elevates the whole affair. Thick slices are grilled, seasoned lightly, and finished with a generous snowfall of parmesan cheese. As they cook, the tomatoes soften and turn luscious while the cheese melts and lightly browns, creating a savory crust that clings to the fruit. They are warm, juicy, and deeply flavorful, adding richness and balance to the sandwich. It is indulgent without being heavy, familiar yet special, and exactly the kind of dish that earns its name at the Oceanfront. We also enjoyed rich, creamy grits and a damn fine cup of coffee. Service was exceptional. - I've been covering the cuisine scene in Coastal Virginia and beyond for 30-plus years, and have dined out at thousands and thousands times. I base my scores on the SAVORY system, which attributes values to six distinct attributes: Service, Ambiance, Value, Offerings, Repeatability, and Sensory Experience. That translates to 1 star = 59 or below ; 2 stars = 60 - 69 ; 3 stars = 70-79 ; 4 stars = 80-89 ; and 5 stars = 90 or above. Based on that, this restaurant receives my 5 star rating. This is based on a visit on Jan. 7, 2026 - I'm a Johnson & Wales-trained chef reporting on food and foodways in print (magazines, The Virginian-Pilot), television (morning shows, Food Network, WTKR TV-3), radio (PBS, AM 790 WNIS), and more.

The restaurant has a great oceanfront location and the food was good, but our experience was significantly impacted by how staff handled my service dog. We initially sat outside, but constant biting flies made it difficult to enjoy our meal, so we moved inside. Shortly afterward, an assistant manager approached us and attempted to remove us because of my service dog. My dog was clearly identifiable as a service animal, quietly lying at my feet, fully under control, and not bothering anyone. As a Disabled Veteran, I should not have had to explain ADA service animal laws in order to eat breakfast. The burden should not fall on guests to educate restaurant management about federal disability protections. What should have been a happy and memorable morning before my wedding became stressful and upsetting. The issue was eventually resolved, and we were allowed to remain, but only after I had to advocate for my legal rights. Because of that experience, we chose not to return to dine inside the restaurant for the remainder of our stay. The food and location were good, but the lack of service animal awareness by management seriously detracted from the experience. I strongly recommend additional ADA and service animal training for all staff so future guests do not experience the same treatment.

They tried to help with the parking issues, 5 spaces for an entire restaurant is not enough, plus the only handicap spot is not accessible for a van. My entire family of 6 were sat right away and orders taken rather fast. I decided I wanted a waffle but also needed protein. I knew I wouldn't eat much of the waffle but my 11 year old twins would gladly polish it off, so no since I'm getting the two mini waffles and paying the extra $2 per topping. I opted for a side order of two eggs and sausage patties. The order arrived minus my waffle. I was assured it was coming right out. I waited and waited. I had also split my eggs and sausage with my older daughter as her waffle did not come with protein and I knew she would get a headache without eating protein. After all my kids were done eating and my husband only had two bites of his pancakes left, I saw the hostess walk out of the kitchen with the same waffles I ordered. She was acting strangely and slide the waffles behind the bin full of silverware to wrap. She kept looking around and then slid into the booth and started eating away but trying to hide what she was doing. Our server saw her and confronted her. She pointed at our table and the hostess just shrugged and put another huge bite in her mouth. Our server went to her supervisor who then promptly came to us to let us know my waffle was coming, a slight delay in the kitchen. Now the restaurant is almost empty at this point. Why lie. I saw the whole debacle go down with the hostess. My husband even pointed it out and the supervisor replied with oh no, we had two orders in for the same waffle. Really! It's been almost 30 minutes and my food didn't come out. Really! I informed her I was done and no longer wanted the waffle. The server brought it out a few minutes later, and informed I wasn't being charged for the waffle. I had her box it up as I was done and paying. I never ate the waffle, we had drove over an hour to try this place. I won't go back. The food was subpar and nothing to rave about. It's just sad that they have a hostess who wants to shove food in her mouth and staff who are not honest. I will just continue to enjoy the hospitality and great food at Not Another Pancake House in Williamsburg where people always have a smile and care about their customers.
