    This is a decent breakfast joint. It was very clean and the entire staff was kind and welcoming. The food was good nothing outstanding but just good. I would definitely go back.

    Breakfast Grits

    We visited Pops 4 years ago and we were not impressed with the bland food. Two recent visits have dramatically changed our opinions! Pops has a brightly lit, spacious and inviting room - scrupulously clean. The servers are very helpful and friendly even during busy times. We had the over the top breakfast grits with gobs of cheese - a hearty portion which could fill you for days. The simple eggs, bacon came with delicious, generously seasoned home fries. I had the Best Bagel Sandwich with a light, fresh bagel, Swiss cheese and scrambled eggs. Perfect. Pops at Lyndhaven has become one of our goto places.

    When we immediately walked in we were greeted by staff. To me that's important regardless if you have a wait or not. Once we got seated only took a few moments for our waitress to come over. We asked questions about items and she was very knowledgeable answering them. Food was splendid and wjll def return in the future.

    Always a good place to grab a bite whether it's breakfast or lunch. Portions are large and service is fast. There is usually plenty of seating unless you go on the weekends, then you may have a wait. Place is open and airy and a mix of tables and booths. Have a four star for today's visit because our waitress rushed me to make a decision on my order rather than coming back in a few minutes.

    We love Pops Diner and get their breakfast on a regular basis. I haven't really tried their lunch food yet so I can only speak for the breakfast. Absolutely delicious. Everything seems like it's cooked with love and the recipes were put together by a mastermind. I highly recommend that you check out Pops Diner.

    I've been looking forward to coming to Pops Diner for a few months. Finally, I fitted into my calendar decided to go to have a birthday breakfast before going to enjoy a spa day!! Being I was by myself, I sat at the counter. It took a minute for me to be greeted at the counter. I ended up being greeted by the hostess, because she realized that no one had came over after that it was smooth sailing. The restaurant wasn't too busy. There was one other person at the counter, and a few tables were filled. it was a Friday during a work week so I guess I wouldn't expect it to be too busy. I have been wanting to try the bananas, foster French toast I also ordered bacon and the home fries that apparently everybody loves and recommends. The French toast was very good perfectly grilled the bananas foster sauce was really tasty. The crispy or crunchy pecans was the icing on the cake. I was not impressed with the home fries. It reminded me of like mashed potatoes that had been fried. They were very mushy inconsistency and didn't have too much flavor. Not to mention I thought they were a little overpriced for potatoes. I did notice that the person that was sitting at the end of the counter was there before I got there, and her food was already sitting there. Not much of her food had been eaten and not once did anybody go over and speak to her or check on her at all . She did end up leaving. I don't know what transpired but I just know that the whole time I was there she was not checked on via waitress at all and I was checked on at least 3 to 4 times. Maybe it's none of my business, but it's something that I noticed when I'm in a restaurant. Funny thing is I ran into another birthday twin wearing a princess crown while eating my breakfast so I decided to treat my birthday twin to her breakfast. She was a young girl I would say she probably was turning five or six happy birthday to my birthday twin don't know your name, but I hope you enjoyed your day. I definitely would go back because it is a cute little restaurant. I would probably not order the potatoes again because those were not as good.

    I had high expectations because I was told how great this place was. They are OKay. It is small and they only have one bathroom. For so many people in this one restaurant they need several bathrooms. Staff are friendly and service was quick enough for the volume of people inside. This is a busy place. We got the waffles, and they were good. We also got the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders have to much breading. They were not very good. I will not be ordering the tenders again. The fries were OK. My friend liked them more than I did. I am all about great fries so when they are just ahhh. We maybe trying them again and hoping we can pop up those stars

    My new must go to spot when visiting VA beach. Beat the touristy crowds & overpriced foods & come here instead. Staff is super friendly, portions are HUGE, affordable. The food is all very very good I wanted to come back the next day I love that they allowed me to sub out my breakfast meat for grits which were super tasty

    2 egg, 2 sausage, toast and fruit breakfast. Tell me those eggs aren't perfect. DELICIOUS!

    Hungry for breakfast one Sunday morning before hula and decided to stop at Pop's Diner. So happy that I did. I normally go to the Northampton Blvd location, but was happy that I stopped in. Service was just as friendly as the Northampton location. As you can see from the picture the over easy eggs were perfect. Thank you Pop's for another wonderful experience.

    BLT with She Crab Soup - Cup
    Nicki B.

    I stopped in for lunch and was immediately impressed by the cleanliness, modern decor, and peaceful atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the food arrived quickly. I enjoyed everything I ordered. I ordered the BLT and with the She Crab Soup. I will definitely return for breakfast or brunch the next time I'm in Virginia Beach in the early hours.

    Banana Nut Waffle
    May-May R.

    We had dined here a long time ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the banana nut waffle since. Your typical diner but with great flavor! We ordered the banana nut waffle (fluffy, flavorful) and the bananas foster French toast (the sauce makes the meal) and we're both really happy. It's only a 10 minute drive from the beach and a great pit stop on your way back home. 10/10 recommend.

    Hangover Country Skillet

    Food: was really good I had the chicken fried steak skillet the hangover . The sweet onion kinda throws off the savory taste but very good. Service: Moises was very nice and on point this morning. The staff was very friendly. This location definitely got and upgrade . Very nice and clean . Definitely worth coming back .

    Sausage Breakfast, eggs over easy

    Pop's Diner is a solid neighborhood diner. There isn't generally a wait at this location but the place is always filled up during weekends. This is a great spot for family, friends and diverse groups. Menu is adequate for most diets, (vegetarian and vegan with request and modifications.) Service is fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean and sanitized thoroughly. Award winning waffles and burgers. Multi-flavored mimosas, coffee and juices offered. Breakfast is served up hot and everything taste decent.

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

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 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.

    I've been to Milk & Honey VB on a few occasions and I must say I have mixed reviews!…read more Plenty of Public Parking attached to the restaurant building.. I have been to this restaurant a total of 3 times and have always ordered the same dish.. what can I say I am Catfish and Collards kinda girl. Ordered Fish and Grits with a side of Collards on one occasion and I believe with Mac and Cheese & Collards on the other two. The dish is called The Tail of Two fish. It includes one piece of catfish and one piece of whiting.. I substituted for two pieces of Catfish Fried Hard.... If you know. You know. First time collards were decent but nothing to drive in traffic towards oceanfront for. The staff claim to like their Mac and Cheese but I am definitely not a fan. I personally will not Reccomend. They are not horrible but what can I say, watery and lacking layers of flavor and creaminess that one desires when eating a comfort food like Mac & Cheese. The fish was good especially with some Hot Sauce. Grits were ok but I've had better. Cocktails are amazing BUT pricey. Please be mindful that when you are a mixed drink off the menu for example, A lemon Drop, Margarita, any signature drink... it automatically includes alcohol BUT your waiter will ask you what kind of alcohol would you prefer... for instance Don Julio or Patron.... If you select on of those option you will be charged for the cocktail plus the UPGRADED liquor of choice. So if your Margarita is $16 On the menu (that includes liquor) IF you choose one of the choices being offered to you, you will be charged an additional charge for the shot in your drink. For example if you chose Don Julio when you ordered your cocktail. That drink now almost $30!!!! $16 for cocktail on menu PLUS example $12 for a shot of Don Julio... NOW that 1 cocktail cost $28 ish. If you have 3 of these bad boys thru out the course of your meal or happen to ask for a drink with a double shot, be prepared to pay more money for your curated cocktail then you entire meal! The service was excellent BUT I try believe that it's the waiter/or waitresses obligation to advise that when you order your drink it comes with alcohol and if you choose one of the alcohol options that they are providing for your drink, to explain that that is a up charge and you don't have to to pick a brand of liquor because the drink made as is already includes alcohol. This information was not related to any of the guests sitting at my large party and some cocktails actually came up to almost $50 per drink!!!! Quite INSANE! Gratuity is automatically added on for single orders and or large groups. Perhaps the waiters attempt to upsell the Too Shelf Liquor and don't explain. The additional cost to ensure a larger bill which leads to larger amount of gratuity. ‍ who knows but some of my guests complained to the manager and she apologized for the lack of information. Back to the Food! lol Fried Green Tomatoes!!! I normally love them but I know many places cannot truly execute them and Milk& Honey is definitely one of those places that should not have this dish on the menu! Fried Green tomatoes should be FRIED, Seasoned & CRISPY! By adding a dressed salad on top of the tomatoes, your fried green tomatoes is now a SOGGY unseasoned, lukewarm tomato.. I do not Reccomend. Order at your own risk!!! You have been warned! Fried Deviled Eggs. Every person that I have dined with at this restaurant most definitely HIGHLY RATE and DEVOUR the Deviled Eggs. So those get 5 's Shrimp Po Boy Sliders were a hit and fan fave but I believe those were part of a daily special. Peach Cobbler Empanada for dessert was a nice sharable between two to simply try something new. Overall I normally spend at least $100 for my meal, cocktail and at least one drink for the guest of honor including tax and gratuity. That's a bit high for a brunch when the food is a hit or miss. I had such high hopes for this restaurant to be in the 757 area especially because I've heard great reviews from the chains in the DMV area. I disliked that many of my guest were disappointed and dissatisfied for my Birthday Brunch
