The fried green tomatoes were amazing the Big ass chicken sandwich was super delicious

Had brunch with my family last Sunday. It was yummy as usual. We got there early so there wasn't a wait. We were seated right away. My husband ordered the southern bowl, daughter had white chocolate pancakes, and I had loaded tots. Everyone was satisfied and happy. My only complaint would be the live singer only because it was very loud that early in the morning. Not enough to ruin my experience or take away stars. Others might have enjoyed it. read more

Great brunch, so many options to choose from. Great service and quality food. Since it was nice out, we ate outside. A fly flew in my friends water, the waitress brought her another one. The lattes looked great, didn't try one this time though. Manmosa was yummy. Biscuits were light and flavorful. Lamb chops for benedict was tender. Can't wait to go back and try different items!! read more

This is my second visit to Redhead Bay Cafe and it's hard to believe a restaurant can have such exceptional service AND have such great food! The staff treats ya like family that's coming home for lunch! We selected the outdoor seating option for this beautiful Monday. The menu options cater to both breakfast and lunch options with bartender that can make any drink you can think of. We had watermelon, blood orange, and creamsickle crushes today that were so refreshing! Our breakfast sandwiches were so fresh and seasoned perfectly! This spot has gained popularity, and rightfully so, so if your plan is visit on a weekend please be prepared for a little wait. But I PROMISE it'll be worth it! TOTAL BB referral! read more

This was a cute little place out in the country! I was a little disappointed in the lack of options that fit my personal tastes, but the food was still great! The owner was on site, checking on tables and helping his servers, which I thought made all the difference to the restaurant. Having an owner who not only interacts with the guests, but is willing to step in and do the work as well is really encouraging. I don't know when or if I will dine here again, because it's kind of far, but I definitely loved the whole atmosphere. I forgot to mention that there are games to play outside (and blocks and toys and such for the kids) while you are waiting, which is also a phenomenal touch! If you're out in creeds, definitely stop in here and check it out! read more

I was thoroughly surprised and delighted to find Redhead Bay Cafe after we tried going to another popular brunch place in Pungo that had a two-hour wait. This restaurant is located in the part of Virginia Beach that I often forget about because it's closer to the North Carolina border than the more central areas. When we arrived it was about a 30-minute wait but with a beautifully sunny day and outdoor bar, we didn't mind at all. The bar offered mimosa, man-mosas, and bloody marys and was surrounded with shaded seating and a few rocking chairs. It wasn't long before our table out back was ready. Each table in the back had its own umbrella and was properly socially distanced. The menu was stacked with traditional comfort food. All the good, fried stuff that makes it worth rolling out of bed and driving out to Pungo. I was impressed with the selection of coffee drinks available. I opted for an espresso martini to start off the day and it set the right tone for the rest of my meal. Everything we ordered was so good. It all came out fast and delicious. At one point I was even scraping up the bits of beans under the fried green tomatoes because they were so flavorful. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was fun and attentive. Three other employees came around to check on us and chat. I'm not sure if they were owners or just crew members but they all cared about the experience we were having. I think her name was Momma Judy but she was so lovely and kept us laughing. In this time of COVID when we've been quarantined and isolated, there was something special about having an enjoyable conversation with business owners that are doing their best. This is not a restaurant to be neglected. They're providing a great meal and experience for those willing to venture out a little farther. We talked with one employee that told us an event space was coming next door so I know I personally can't wait to go back and see what else Redhead Bay Cafe has to offer. read more

i've been wanting to check this place out for a while now, and finally got to experience all that i was missing. it was well worth the drive. first, i'll start off by saying , for a saturday and us having a party of 8, we were immediately sat, which was awesome. our server was on it, and was able to recommend items and be on point with that. i started off with the cotton candy mimosa, and it was great. and despite the name, it wasn't as sweet as i thought it would be. then i ordered white chocolate pancakes and a side of cheddar grits. no complaints there . and they give you so much food . i was glad i only ordered the short stack (2) of the pancakes bc i literally couldn't even finish those . the restaurant is like in a barn i want to say, and it also looks as if they host events there. it was really cute how it was set. the only thing that i didn't like is that we had to valet our cars, even though the parking lot was completely empty . i just personally prefer the option of parking my own vehicle when space it available . read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. Deep in Pungo this restaurant does not disappoint and is worth the drive. The staff are friendly, welcoming & helpful. The food is AMAZING, great drink options and a great scene. You can bring your dog here as you wait to be seated there's swings and a vip speakeasy bar to get drinks as well. I have always had a nice experience here for brunch. My favorites are the Shrimp n Grits, The Biscuits & Gravy & the Boom Boom Shrimp read more

This is a beautiful little hole in the wall spot down near knots island in Pungo Definitely worth the drive and the possible wait time we arrived and forgot that it was Labor Day lol but honestly The hour and a half wait went by very fast we were offered to go up to the bar but it was very cramped so we sit outside on the attached patio which had wooden TicTacToe as well as Ample seating When we were seated we were served very quickly the food came out hot and fresh the biscuits were some of the biggest I've ever seen everything is made fresh and seem to be from locally sourced ingredients The home fries were a pleasant surprise as they were made more like scalloped potatoes and sliced rather than cubed everything was delicious neither was could finish our meals the coffee was also great touch and a lot of the drinks look very interesting I can't wait to visit again read more

Worth the drive! Drinks are fun and coffee is great! The fried green tomatoes are insanely good and their gravy is a hangover cure!!

5/5 stars for food, drinks and atmosphere! Whether you're just visiting Hampton Roads, or are a local, you HAVE to check out Redhead Bay Cafe for brunch! The restaurant itself feels HUGE! There's pretty much two separate indoor dining spaces with tons of outdoor space to drink while you wait for a table-- which you will probably take advantage of if you're visiting on a weekend for brunch. Parking is by valet (at least on the weekends) but it's free. Once we put our name on the list, we were told there was a back bar where you could get drinks and sit down while you waited. How cool! The bartender was so friendly and it was nice to have a space to drink separate from where people were eating. Also lots of cute photo opt spots back there! WAITLIST TIP: you won't get a text when you're initially put on the waiting list, you'll only get a text when your table is available. Once we were sat at our table, it was time to tackle the menu. Food and drink menus-- HUGE by the way. I was particularly impressed with the drink menu. They have everything from breakfast shooters, crushes, signature cocktails (including coffee cocktails), $5 mimosas and Bloody Mary's. Our server asked if it was our first time, and recommend some local favorites. We ended up getting the Sunday Chicken Sandwich and Chicken & Waffles. The food was really good! Portions were a great size and everything was fresh and hot. Not much else to say-- I highly recommend the Chicken & Waffles and Sunday Chicken sandwich! I only wish we lived closer so we could go more often! read more

I should probably switch up my order but if it ain't broke don't fix it! This chicken sandwich is life, that is all! The live music part of the restaurant is a bit loud but the service is always on point. Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not but the chicken sandwich is heavenly! read more

3 stars for the big A$$ chicken biscuit 4 stars overall for service & atmosphere This restaurant is a hybrid of a bit of classy meets country home comfort ( at least what I experienced in the building on the right or the building you see behind). Nestled in the Creeds/Pungo area, it's located next to a gas station near an intersection. So if your car is hungry and you're hungry, you're in luck! *Food & Service * I was seated promptly with no wait on a Saturday around 9:15 am and provided water and our drink orders were taken. Our server was polite and kind. Our food was delivered in a timely fashion and half our table's dishes were beautifully crafted- the salmon avocado toast and the southern Benedict . The other half was less visually pleasing, perhaps due to our entrée choices- the biscuits and gravy and the big a$$ chicken biscuit with tots. Haha. My friends appeared to be pleased with their choices, and my friend that ordered the biscuits and gravy said her meal tasted better than it looked. My chicken biscuit wasn't bad looking but didn't appear to be outstanding than any other chicken biscuit I've had. While the tots were very crispy in texture, the way I prefer, they were on the salty side. I did eat every single tot. I was hungry. The chicken biscuit's consistency was good and didn't crumble to pieces. But the taste was average. The fried batter on the chicken had a crispy crunch, which I like. The chicken biscuit wasn't greasy, but I tasted a flour after taste. The chicken was tender but a tad on the dry side. I tasted a tinge of honey, but the flavor over all was underwhelming and a let down. It didn't have that pop of flavor I was hoping for and anticipating. I would not personally make the trek out again for brunch since it's so far from me. One of my friends did say she would, just for the fried green tomatoes (-: However, if I was already out this way, or heading to Munden Point Park, and wanted to grab a bite to eat or take away then that's a different story. I would probably return in that context. I enjoyed their sister restaurant, Blue Pete's better. We explored the tiny gift shop which carries some fun, quirky merchandise. They have a nice outside area with picnic tables next to the neat looking canal/creek. Along the side of the building are three large chair swings and between the two buildings are a small fire pit and more seating with patio style furniture. *some FYI on driving distance* Majority of our group reside in Chesapeake and all had relatively a 30 minute drive. Keep in mind, if you're not from Pungo or the Red Mill/Strawbridge VB proper area, you're more likely to have a 45 minute commute, like I did to this aesthetically cute culinary establishment. But, it is a rather peaceful gentle curving drive through farmland and a great reprieve from the other wise busy, chaotic VB proper. *Parking & Reservations * Parking is self park during the week. However on the weekend (Sat & Sun) it's valet only. Come prepared with cash for tips. They DO NOT take reservations. Knowing the above information from calling ahead, I arrived early in anticipation of a long wait. I was pleasantly surprised to learn there was no wait. I was led to the other building. There are two buildings (one in the front and one in the back). The building in the back had high ceilings and appeared to be larger and the ceiling had fabric draped in the center with a white antler chandelier. read more

My wife & I went here this morning for brunch. We got there around 10:30am and it looked pretty busy, so we assumed we would have to wait 20 or 30 minutes for a table. All of the parking is valet, which is very nice. They took the truck and parked it for us, while the staff greeted us outside to ask how many we had in our party. To our surprise, there was no wait for seating at the bar (where you can also eat, of course), so we opted in for the bar seating. The place is very cute & quaint on the inside. Although it was busy, it wasn't hectic, everything was very nicely spaced out, and it wasn't overly loud in there either. The woman at the bar was very friendly, quick, and always checked in on us to see if we needed anything. Another woman on the staff complimented my wife's hair (check out Chroma Salon in Virginia Beach if you're looking to go blonde, my wife gets her hair done there by Kylie) which made her day. Onto the food. I opted for the chicken and waffles with a side of waffle fries. You get two fried chicken breasts and a Belgian waffle cut into 4 pieces. The waffle was super fluffy but also had the perfect crunch to it. The chicken wasn't dry - it was flavorful and juicy. It paired well with the waffles and syrup and was very filling. I enjoyed every bite of it. The waffle fries were probably the best fries I've ever had in my life. The seasoning was amazing, and they were cooked to perfection. The crunch was fantastic. My wife got the loaded tots, which comes with tots (seasoned similar to the fries), bacon, sausage, egg, pico, and sour cream. That was also amazing, the only issue was that we couldn't finish it. We also ordered a specialty latte to share - the toasted marshmallow one. It was huge, so I'm glad we only got one to split. It was topped two toasted marshmallows, some crushed graham crackers and whipped cream. It was fantastic. We ordered ours hot, but if I'm not mistaken you can get it iced, as well. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but it's worth it. To me, it's just as good as The Bee & The Biscuit, which is a similar drive for us. Definitely worth making the trip to check it out! All food/drink items as well as some menu photos are included here for your viewing! read more

Food is good, service is amazing and ambiance is fair. Hours could be better but closing at 1500 makes it hard to enjoy anything without wanting to eat again around 10pm. Food is average, it fills a void. Prices have gone up. We occasionally enjoy ourselves by going to Redhead Bay Cafe. read more

The best place for breakfast. It's like coming home to family. Shrimp and grits are the bomb.

After seeing Redhead Bay Cafe on Facebook groups and heading my friends rave about it, I finally got hooked this past January. I'm pretty sure I go about once a month or whenever people want to go to brunch! It is a bit of drive being close to the North Carolina border, but it's so worth it. On a typical weekday, I've never had to wait long for a table. It helps there is outdoor seating and their private area in the barn that they open up as well. Service is always great and quick. I usually opt for an iced latte or the hibiscus mimosa. Now for food, my favorites are the Sunday Chicken Sandwich with waffle fries, shrimp and grits, and the back fin benedict with loaded tots. I have to say the shrimp and grits are the best in the area! read more

This place came highly recommended. My girlfriend and I met up for brunch one Saturday morning. When we pulled we were met by the valet attendants which was nice. The wait was about 10-15 minutes to be seated which was not bad at all. They have 2 sides or building for the restaurant. We ordered an omelet with toast and potatoes and French toast with a side of potatoes. It took about 30-40 minutes for our food to come out and I understand that during these times with staffing issues. My rating of 3 stars is based on the fact that our food came out Luke warm at best. The Food seemed that it might have sat before it was brought to our table. The potatoes were tasty warm so I'm sure they are very delicious when served hot. The toast was cold so I did not eat it. My girlfriend ate what she could of her French toast. We are not in the business of sending food back unless we absolutely have to. Overall it wasn't bad, it's a cute little place. I'm willing to give it another try with hopes that my food will be hot and not lukewarm. read more

This was a wonderful surprise to find! It's a cute, well decorated place out in the country side. The interior is adorable and the menu is fantastic. I had the breakfast burrito (w/o tater tots. Don't like them) and it was probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The cheese grits were amazingly seasoned. Often grits are bland, hence why cheese is added so often, but in this case, the flavor was amazing! I also had a cup of the she crab soup and it was probably the best I've ever had, and that's saying something considering our location. My mimosa came with a blueberry garnish and a flower! So cute. Highly recommend and I will def be going back! Will probably be my new "go to"place to take people from out of town for breakfast/brunch. read more

We've been before years ago but made another trip today for some time away at the beach. The food was all delicious, server was very helpful, and we left full and happy. My husband and I shared a mimosa flight (server asked flavor preferences and surprised us based on that, yum!), and I had the Little Cedar. Eggs and biscuit were perfect! They were also decorated for Christmas, and it was so cute. If we lived closer, we'd probably be regulars! read more

I can't rave enough about our experience today at Red Head Bay Cafe. The atmosphere was just awesome & inviting, our server, Maddie was exceptional. She even got me a cushion to sit on as I have back issues. She was kind to my entire family. THE FOOD was scrumptious! & so much food. You will not go wrong in going here. I went to Aldo's the night before & I'd recommend Red head Bay, far above that!! A hidden treasure. Thank you. Miss Doris read more

Had a great experience for brunch. We were greeted by the pleasant valet and were seated immediately by the host. Service was better than we could've asked for, friendly and speedy, even though every seat was full. The owner made an effort to come by to check on everyone and thanked us for coming in. All of the food was good, I had the Big Chicken Biscuit with Cheese Grits. Next time we make it down to Pungo we're going back. read more

4 stars instead of 5 because they do not allow substituting of kids meal. In lieu of meat for eggs because my 1 year old do not like breakfast meat. "We can remove the bacon or sausage and add eggs for $3". That would make kids' meal $8?!?! $5 just for 1 pancake. What a rip off. So I got the sides of eggs and 2 pancakes. For $6. Do better. Not all kids like meat. Especially bacon and sausage. Should allow substitution. Anyway I enjoyed their omelette. I ordered Victor's Ranchero. I had to ask to remove chorizo and pico de Gallo. Wish they had more vegetarian options instead of Greek omelette. Their chai was ok-ok. When I asked for nonfat milk. "We don't have it". I had to ask what do they have then? "Whole or almond". Best brunch in town? Not to my opinion. But I would come again. I just prefer The Bees and the Biscuit which is in the area. read more

I love brunch and this place is added to my favorites! It's definitely wayyyy out in the boondocks, but if you have a free day and don't mind a drive - try it out! They have a ton of food options, indoor and outdoor seating, valet parking, friendly staff, and delicious food and drinks. What more could you want? I got the breakfast BLT and it was a 10/10. My friends also loved what they ordered. I tried a coffee drink instead of my normal mimosa or crush and it was good! It's called the Joyful Morning. My waitress said it's one of their popular drinks (along with the cotton candy mimosa for my sweet tooth friends!). The only downfall was all the flies.. because it's out by farms and indoor/outdoor there were a ton of flies everywhere. We sat inside and the flies were crazy. If there were no flies, or even only 1 or 2 instead of 30, I would've given this review 5 stars. read more

This was our first visit to Redhead Bay Cafe. We were a party of four. One person in our party had been there before and highly recommended it. The staff was friendly. The food was plentiful and delicious. There were so many choices. My husband had the catfish sandwich and cheesy grits. He said it was very, very tasty. I got the Big Cedar which was a huge breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, etc. and the yummiest, crispy tator tots. The rest of our party enjoyed things like fried green tomatoes, chicken and waffles, and she crab soup. There really is something for everyone. The drinks were very good and presented in a beautiful way. We will definitely be back. read more

After reading the reviews I was excited to go to this restaurant but sadly it was a huge let down. Called ahead and was told there was no wait so we arrived about 5 minutes later, came from the Cullipher farm. Upon arrival we had about a 20-30 minute wait for 2. The service was extremely slow considering there weren't a lot of people. The food was the highlight and truthfully it wasn't anything special. If you don't go, you aren't missing anything, read more
