The Rustic Spoon is my favorite brunch restaurant in the entire 757. They take online reservations if you plan ahead Food: The carnitas is to die for. I've had the hash and the Benedict. I recommend the Benedict because it fills you up more. The has is delicious though. My husband always gets the carnitas omelette and he says it's the best omelette he's ever had. Drinks: You can never go wrong with their crushes. Their key lime crush tastes like a key lime pie. Service: Always good. The one time our food came out late was when the kitchen lost our ticket. Our server apologized profusely and even said our next round of drinks were on her Ambiance: Very laid back atmosphere. They have a patio if you want outdoor seating read more

We were here on assignment and a friend recommended this place for good comfort food. It was quiet Tuesday so we were greeted and widely seated. The place has a bar feel and casual. Upon seating, our waitress Faith came, introduced herself, and took our order drinks while we look over the menu. We decided both brunch & lunch. In a short wait everything came out hot. Overall the service was great, food delicious & great for group casual dining. read more

Nothing but great service from the moment we arrived. This is a very cutesy and cozy establishment. There's adequate seating with two levels and a patio (you don't feel on top of each other). I was happy they accepted reservations. Kimberli B., our waitress, was a gym! Very attentive and kind. Our party ordered the Brussel Sprouts, Shrimp and Grits, Filet Mignon Benedict, Monte Cristo. Everyone loved the smokey flavor of the Brussels. The shrimp and grits were very filling and full of flavor w/ a kick. My friend said, "The cream sauce is a chef's kiss!" Monte Cristo was flavorful with a nice sweetness to it that melts in your mouth. My other friend stated the Filet Mignon Benedict is "Heaven in your mouth!" Suggestion: Order it medium well. She ordered it medium and it came out medium rare (still good). Everyone was full and happy from their meals! read more

I met my mom and dad here on a Saturday morning the day before Mother's Day. Luckily they had a reservation cause it was quite busy, but I loved the interior decor. Our waitress came over quickly and I ordered a creamsickle crush, which was delicious. I also ordered an eggs Benedict, which was also delicious and a large portion that I was able to take home and eat for another meal. We had a great time. The service was amazing and look forward to going back! read more

We made a special trip to Rustic Spoon for my husband's birthday because their website listed scotch eggs, which was something he'd been craving forever and that we hadn't been able to find anywhere around town. It happened to be Restaurant Week, which made us a little nervous, but it ended up being totally fine. The dining room never felt overly crowded, the noise level was comfortable, and having the Restaurant Week prix fixe, drink specials, and regular menu all available gave us plenty of options without feeling overwhelming. One small note: the plastic logo cups served with the water decanter felt a little out of place. They were a bit sharp on the lips and didn't quite match the rest of the dining experience. Minor detail, but noticeable. The drinks, however, were excellent. On our server's recommendation, my husband ordered the Gingerbread Old Fashioned and I had the Salted Caramel Martini. Both were seasonal specials and both were fantastic. When we asked about the scotch eggs, our server explained they're normally a brunch-only item. We were a little disappointed (and may have made a few pouty faces while explaining we'd come specifically for them for his birthday), but we quickly let it go, it obviously wasn't her fault. What we didn't realize was that she went back and told the kitchen manager that it was his birthday and that we'd made the trip just for those scotch eggs. Since the kitchen wasn't slammed, they decided to make them anyway and surprised us with an order. We were honestly floored. My husband was thrilled. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. And the scotch eggs were exactly what he'd been hoping for! They were crispy on the outside with a rich, savory center. For entrées, his Nashville Hot Chicken was juicy with the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. My Haystack Burger was stacked and delicious, though the BBQ sauce was strong enough to overshadow the pickled green tomato a bit. The fries were fantastic - crispy, battered, and perfect from first bite to last. Our server checked in at all the right times and kept drinks refilled without us needing to ask. The fact that she went out of her way to do something special during one of the busiest weeks on a restaurant's calendar says a lot about both her and the restaurant. Rustic Spoon is the kind of place that works just as well for a casual date night as it does for a birthday dinner or a night out with friends. read more

Hubs and I enjoy having brunch at the Rustic Spoon several times a month and the service and quality of food never disappoints! Super friendly staff that all have a great attention to detail, and a great menu (including alot of GF options) And I know it sounds odd to be excited about grits, but yall, they are insanely good. Insanely flavorful! read more

Your service was great, the food is nice and overall just a really good atmosphere. I will definitely be returning.

We stopped here on a road trip with three small kids and were wildly impressed! Service was so great, employees all very kind and patient especially with our 7 year old making a mess of food on the floor. Food was excellent! Club sandwich, steak and eggs, and kids macaroni were all hits! Will make it our new regular stop on this drive read more

My family had a good experience and really enjoyed their food --crab cake benedict, carnitas omelet, the good.

The Rustic Spoon is a must visit! The food is absolutely delicious. The chicken and waffle oh my goodness delicious perfectly crispy on the outside, just how I like my waffle. The chicken is a boneless thigh tender and juicy. My sister said the seafood omelette was full of good seafood very refreshing and flavorful. Also, while I didn't order the potatoes but I tried them from another plate at the table and oh my goodness I love good potatoes. The atmosphere was quiet and spacious, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal. The service was exceptional, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and great service. I can't wait to return! read more

I decided to give Rustic Spoon another try after not being impressed with my Cuban Sandwich in my first visit. Both visits the service was great! The staff were inviting and friendly. It was a cold day so we asked to be near a heater vent and they offered for us to sit near the fire place. Now let's get to what this review is really about THE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST! It had a nice presentation and was absolutely delicious! It was more of a desert so I got Brussels sprouts to balance it out . Both entrees could have feed 3 ppl. read more

Came here for brunch! Got the Carnitas Hash here and it was sooo good. It was portioned perfectly and had lots of flavor! The chicken and waffles was also delicious and great mix of sweet and savory.

We had a wonderful experience! The service was excellent. We ordered food to share, and our server went above and beyond by making sure we knew the specials and the most recommended items to share and plate.

Service was great! Food and drinks were great! And everything came quickly. My only wish is that I should've taken pictures!

I came to celebrate my sister's birthday, but to her surprise, I brought our other sisters and our mom along with us! The staff was in on it and Anthony did such a great job playing along. My sister was so surprised. They seated us at the best table in the house on the loft with a view. We caught up over some delicious food. We didn't get any boozy drinks because we just got off the plane, but the Bloody Mary looked good. A woman at another table had a flight (maybe wine) that looked yummy, too! I ordered the scotch egg. We all shared our dishes which included a seafood omlet, mushroom toast, & crab cake bites. read more

I needed a family oriented restaurant for my 6 year old granddaughter. I was concerned by th pics it might be more of a bar and grill. However, she enjoyed her breakfast and our server was very caring and amenable. We did have an issue with my wife's order because she forgot to ask for egg whites in her omelet, and unfortunately the omelet was not cooked throughout. They worked hard to make amends and provided her an option. read more

If this isn't on one of your favorite brunch spots in the Hampton Roads, you're doing brunch wrong. If you can, I recommend making a reservation as they can get pretty busy quickly during brunch. Parking is fairly easy to secure in the parking lot out front. Today I wanted to deviate from my normal carnitas hash and I ordered the special of the day, carne asada hash that was loaded with meat and fresh jalapeños and crumbled cheese. So fresh and flavorful with every bite. Another sweet treat from the specials, we tried their cinnamon roll with extra additions of candied walnuts and caramel rum butter. My boyfriend got his usual shrimp and grits--absolutely to die for with the savory sauce and plentiful amount of shrimp and sausage. The mimosa flight is always our go to pick for drinks. Our server was attentive and we always enjoy a lovely, filling brunch from the Rustic Spoon in their indoor dining area. Rating: 5/5 read more

Came in on a Saturday at 11am. The wait was about 60-90min for a table inside so we decided to sit outside which had no wait. We were a party of 4. The waitress was very nice and friendly. I ordered the mushroom toast as my entree and it was tasty! They didn't skimp out on the mushrooms or toppings. My friends ordered the mushroom omelette, fried tomatoes and steak and eggs - they both enjoyed and finished their plates! I really liked the biscuit, good flavor and a bit salty but it was fine. The coffee was just ok, nothing special. Fairly affordable meal and would definitely come back to try their other items. read more

I ordered the Apple pie pancakes with scrambled eggs, bacon, house potatoes and a waffle from Uber Eats. When I got my order I was missing the star of the show, the pancakes. We know Uber Eats customer service sucks and it was no different here. I decided to call the Rustic Spoon and the manager identified the issue immediately. There was a Joshua P who ordered almost the same thing as me Joshua F minus the pancakes. Most places turn you away and tell you to deal with Uber but as a reviewer I also love to review customer service. The manager took ownership of the issue and let me know I could pick up the pancakes. When I get there, he was waiting at the front door for me, had my food hot and ready, and added something a little extra for the mistake. My wife loves this place and I understand why. I trained bank associates on customer service and soft skills and if I could've recorded this interaction, it would've been the best training one could offer. We often overlooked how important excellent service is and how it influences customers. This situation turned me into a supporter of this business going forward. Btw my food was awesome and the Apple Pie pancakes were worth it. read more

This restaurant can get pretty busy on the weekend so I would reccomend making a reservation unless you don't mind sitting at the bar. With bar seating it only took 15 minutes to get seated. We had the funnel cake cinnamon roll, Carne Asada Hash, Crab Cake burger, and biscuits. In short, GET THE FUNNEL CAKE CINNAMON ROLL. The funnel cake cinnamon roll was amazing. I've never tasted any cinnamon roll that topped it. 9.5/10 for me. Perfect amount of icing but not overbearing like Cinnabon. Nize drizzle of chocolate with a crunchy and flavorful exterior, and a fluffy inside with lots of sweet cinnamon spread. I can't really describe how good it was, it was just good so you should get it. The biscuits are unique; never tasted an biscuit like them but they are not my favorite. I tasted a decent amount of cornmeal or something similar, the crust is crunchy and slightly buttered but the inside is very fluffy. It's not as savory or buttery as other biscuits I had. The more I ate them though, the more they grew on me. The butter really helped to bring the flavors of the biscuits out. I thought the burger itself was pretty standard. Well cooked, but nothing out of the ordinary. Fries were crunchy and had good texture. The crab cake though was a bit salty on the burger and it got more salty the more we ate it. It did help to make up for the basic flavors inside the patty though. The carne asada hash was good. Lots of ingredients that helped to brighten the dish and differentiate it from normal breakfast hash. I liked the addition of tomatoes since I love eating veggies with all of my dishes. Our server at the bar was super attentive and checked up on us pretty often. Very fun and lighthearted as well which helped to make the experience better. Atmosphere is nice and tidy, and although it was busy it felt somewhat cozy. I would definitely come back here again, especially for that cinnamon roll. read more

Always on the lookout to try a new brunch spot. Ran into this gem tucked away. Recommend reservations during prime brunch time. Sat upstairs but it wasn't too busy for breakfast time. I am always looking out for my favorite breakfast dish .... Biscuits and gravy. This may be the winner for Virginia Beach. It's all about the gravy to me not so much the biscuit. My palate was cheering as I ate this and that was after I started with fried green tomatoes also a breakfast go-to if it's on the menu. My friend opted for the French toast and it was a meal and dessert in one! Basically a thick slab of cinnamon bread fully loaded. Very rich and sweet. The waitress was very nice but nothing special about the service. Food speaks for itself! Will return! read more

The Rustic Spoon is an interesting spot, considering they opened just as the shutdown began. I could only imagine how difficult it was to operate during that time and with those conditions, but TRS obviously endured, and even thrived, thanks to their wonderful food and excellent customer service. When they opened in 2020, Spoon was (I believe) take-out only (for obvious reasons). That means I didn't take a shot at them until 2021 when I went with my mom. Spoon specializes in breakfast/brunch, but they are open for dinner on select nights (and provide a creative and interesting dinner menu). By the time of our inaugural visit (7/11/21), I already knew about their famous Scotch Egg and even saw a news segment focused on them on local WVEC 13. I was excited to try out the scotch egg, among other items. Spoon occupies the space that used to be Lubo Wine Tasting Room. Lubo was a fun spot that offered an excellent Black & Blue Nachos dish (and other tasty food). Spoon offers just as many delicious dishes, and they've gained enough popularity to open a second location in the Red Mill section of Virginia Beach. The original location is quaint and cozy. There is outside seating available - excellent for perfect weather days. They have a second floor, which is used daily but also doubles as a private event room. The facility is clean, organized and is quite welcoming, even when it's busy. I believe we had to wait about 10-20 minutes on 7/11/21 before we were seated. Once we were given a table, our server (Angie) was all smiles and helped us at every opportunity. I noticed Angie was serving tables all over the place (including the outdoor patio), so I came away impressed as she was rockin' things out. Based on service alone (this includes all subsequent visits after 7/11/21), I'd recommend Spoon to anyone. So, with excellent service being provided within an organized and clean facility, it's time to focus on the food. And, let me tell you, their food is excellent. My mom and I ordered the following items: Scotch Egg: Edwards sausage, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, sauce vert Carnitas Benedict Shrimp & Grit Cake: tomato, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, Edwards sausage, griddled grit cake Mom had the shrimp & grit cake and loved it. Her only issue was that it was too much food (as if that's a setback, haha) and couldn't eat it all. I had the carnitas benedict and it, too, was a lot of food. The carnitas were tender and flavorful and went very well with the eggs benedict. I dug this dish a lot. We split the scotch egg and it was tremendous. There aren't many businesses which offer a scotch egg (the only other place I know of that offered scotch egg was Public House in Ghent, but they phased that out, along with many other items which initially set it apart from other local spots), so when it's done right, it has to be applauded. Spoon makes an incredible scotch egg - that item alone is worth a visit. With this being a successful first visit, we've returned numerous times since. It's crummy it's taken me this long to write a review, but Spoon obviously hasn't been hurting for one from me. Speaking of future visits, here is a quick rundown of some items we've ordered since... Steak and Eggs (excellent) The Rustic Burger (mom dug it) Crabcake Bites (excellent, but they could be larger) Corn Chowder (mom dug it) Filet Mignon Benedict (hell yeah, you know I dug it) Loaded Omelet: Edwards sausage, maple pepper bacon, Edwards country ham, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions (fantastic) Bay Burger: Hereford beef patty, crab cake, lettuce, pickled green tomato, Baja sauce, brioche bun (mom really dug it) Smoked Short Rib Risotto: mushrooms, red onions, parmesan, smoked short rib, au jus, green onions, crostini (this may be my favorite TRS dish) Chicken & Rice Soup (I destroyed my bowl) Rustic Meatloaf: Hereford beef, Edwards sausage, garlic mashers, mushroom gravy, seasonal veggies (mom loves a good meatloaf, and she loved this one) The Rustic Spoon is one of my darkhorse favorite restaurants. They change up their menu enough to keep things interesting, but are also consistent with their permanent items to keep their customers coming back. They are excellent for breakfast, brunch and dinner, and provide great service on top of that. I will return again and again as long as their open! Thank you, Rustic Spoon! JV read more

Virginia Beach is our lunch stop on a North Carolina-to-Delaware drives, and we wanted to try something different this time. The Rustic Spoon offered Scotch eggs, and that was enough to reel us in. Even if they weren't on the menu, however, I would have been glad that we stopped here. The food, service, and atmosphere are all great. A two-story eatery, The Rustic Spoon keeps busy but handles volume well. It's lively without being cacophonous. Our server was friendly and willing to offer recommendations, which were needed given how many glorious-looking options the menu offered. In addition to the aforementioned Scotch eggs, there were benedicts and hashes and pancakes and waffles and burgers and sandwiches and salads galore. A Nashville hot chicken is usually a go-to for me, but here, it had plenty of competition. Ultimately, my wife and I ended up with the Scotch eggs, a carnitas omelet, and a shrimp & grit cake. The eggs were breaded nicely and featured a tasty sauce. Both entrees came in sizeable portions and looked jaw-droppingly good. Fortunately, the appeal did not prove illusory. Every place has its own take on shrimp & grits, and the Rustic Spoon's includes local sausage, tomato, and roasted red peppers. The absence of tons of cheese kept it from feeling too heavy, the shrimp were nicely cooked, and the firmness of the grit cake offered a welcome contrast to the sauce that surrounded it. The hearty carnitas scored points for tender, flavorful pork and crispy potatoes. Prices were moderate (entrees in the teens), but the food was worth every penny. As much as we like to try new places when traveling, the Rustic Spoon may have to be a repeat offender. It does too much too well to be a one-and-done. read more

We went on a Sunday for brunch at 9am with a party of 9 people. They don't take reservations so get there early or expect to wait. We were seated right away upstairs and our waiter was great. They had tons of options on their menu so there's something for everyone whether you're feeling breakfast or lunch. I loved the French toast bites special which we ordered as an app for the table. The speciality iced coffee drinks were wayyyy too sweet for me. I ordered the monte Cristo as my meal; I wouldn't recommend. There was 75% breading and 25% meat so it ended up being very dry, even with the jam that was served on the side. I also ordered a side of fresh fruit which was strawberries and blueberries and that was delicious and a great sized portion. The restaurant got very crowded during our time there and the service slowed towards the end of our meal, leaving us waiting 20+ minutes to pay our check. Overall, pretty average brunch. It's a good place to go with a group of you can get a table since they have many options (something for everyone). read more

This place was so cute. Though busy, it was very clean. We were able to get a table immediately even though they were busy and had several reservations. The server was attentive and answered all my questions about different menu options. I opted for the Steak Sandwich and added jalapeños. They gave me plenty of fresh jalapeños. The fries were perfectly cooked and crispy. I added mayo and mustard, and dipped it in the au jus. The sandwich was perfectly cooked. The bread was light and fluffy, there so much cheese. It was so good. I had a mule, but can't remember the name of it. It was so good. I didn't enjoy the margarita flight. I would've chosen a better tequila. I will say the size of the drinks was beyond my expectations. Usually ordering a flight, the sizes are significantly smaller. These are generous portions. Not pictured is the Shrimp n Grits my friend ordered. The portion size was generous and it was so good. read more
