    CITRUS PANCAKES
    Anika W.

    Came here after a team outing nearby to grab some brunch. I haven't been here yet and was excited to finally put a check next to this spot on my list. The space was inviting with lots of seating as expected since it's such a popular establishment. The server was fast and friendly and open to offering us suggestions. I ordered a seasonal cocktail which was ok. I also ordered the citrus pancakes which were pretty yummy. I ordered grits as well but they were forgotten so I just said never mind on those as I tried someone else's and wasn't a huge fan. The food was solid but did not blow me away. I would come here again if asked but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Initially came on Sunday for brunch and the wait was only 15 minutes. After we got seated I got the crab cake Benedict ($22) and that came out in about 20 minutes. The eggs were cooked perfectly and that hollandaise sauce was amazing! It had just the right amount of citrus to cream ratio. Crabs cakes were solid, not the best but still good! Staff/service was a bit slow at times, may have been understaffed. Overall I had a good time here! Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.3/10

    Atmosphere is amazing! Worth every penny. Ask for signature Bloody Mary and the she crab soup is to die for! Service is very attentive and wholesome. Fantastic! Guess we got "unofficially cut off" after two Bloody Mary drinks. We have a designated driver of course. Still... Good to know if you come here... All in all, Thank you very much

    It was okay, just okay. The food is so so basic, nothing spectacular at all. Service takes a LONG time. The restaurant itself isn't that clean or organized.

    Stopped by on a Sunday morning, and even though the place was buzzing with energy, we were seated right away, always a great start! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, though not the most recent décor the place is nice and clean. The menu has all the brunch classics you could want--fluffy pancakes, hearty omelets, rich eggs Benedict, and, of course, an impressive selection of mimosas and other brunch cocktails. I decided on the citrus pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious. The sauce was bursting with flavor, and the combination of pineapple and banana worked perfectly. The portion was so generous I couldn't even finish my plate (which says a lot!). I paired it with a classic mimosa, and it was just right, refreshing, crisp, and the perfect brunch companion. Beyond the food, the service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It's always nice to be in a place where you feel genuinely taken care of. Another plus- the kids' menu had great options, making it a fantastic spot for families as well. Overall, this place checks all the boxes for a great brunch experience: delicious food, great drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!

    Great food and great service! Wonderful way to start the day with great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. After being seated, we were seen too quickly for drink orders. After that, ordering was quick and easy. The menu gave great breakfast options and everything was prepared well. As a plus for our kids, the food looked just like all the pictures we looked up on Yelp so presentation was on point. All in all, a wonderful eating experience that I would whole heartedly recommend to anyone.

    We came to citrus on a Tuesday afternoon No wait and the food is outstanding! The grapefruit mimosa is the best I've tried in the area. The service is great, too! Prices really aren't bad especially compared to places like ihop now, you get better tasting food for about the same price. Excellent breakfast

    Banana Berry French Toast

    We went on a Saturday morning after sporting event and quickly were able to put our name down and was seating within 10 minutes. All our food turned out amazing and was more than enough for our family of five. The staff was very friendly and were greeted and sent off with a smile by the workers. Highly recommend!

    Cafe Latte
    Mari A.

    We were seated quickly a large booth for just the two of us. I had a large latte with a cute design and a regular coffee that came with what seemed like unlimited refills! Ordered chicken and waffles that was a large piece of chicken breast. The waffle had a good flavor crispsy on outside and soft on the inside. that came with 2 any style eggs and a side of crispy parmesean rosemary tater tots. Also ordered eggs Benedict which were perfectly cooked. Our server was very sweet and checked on us the perfect amount.

    Lump Crab Benedict and Shrimp Po Boy
    Christine G.

    The Citrus is one of the breakfast places in the area that are open early (6 am for N Great Neck and 7 am for W Great Neck). It's perfect for us when we want to skip our usual breakfast routines (aka breakfast chains or eating at home). The best part is that they serve Eggs Benedict. Food: * The Citrus Reuben is delicious, and the portion is just right for breakfast/brunch. * Lump Crab Benedict has a good amount of crab on the patty, plus how can I say no to "on the house" onions and peppers to top the hashbrowns? I just wish that the patty and the hash brown is crispier and not too soggy. Ambiance: This restaurant is bright and welcoming. Price: With suitable serving sizes, their food is affordable. Service: Maybe we came in too early during the day, and our server was barely present, but she was accommodating. If you want an early breakfast, you should put Citrus on your list.

    SPINACH FETA OMELETTE with Bacon

    My family and I went to Citrus for brunch. There was a 10 minute wait to be seated, and the restaurant texts you when they're ready to seat you. The restaurant is spacious and even with a party seated next to us, we weren't crowded and could have a conversation. Once seated, our friendly server took our drink order and gave us plenty of time to decide on our meal choices. I ordered the Spinach and Feta omelette with egg whites and added bacon, with Rosemary Parmesan Home Fries and wheat toast. My son ordered the Spanish omelette with grits and a biscuit. My husband ordered The Beckner with home fries. The food was excellent! The vegetables in the omelettes were fresh, the potatoes were nicely seasoned and not overdone, the breads were nicely toasted and crisp, and the biscuit was perfectly crumbly. Service was friendly and attentive and taking care of the check was easy with the ability to tap to pay. One of the best local restaurants in Va Beach!

    Banana pancakes with sausage links and scrambled eggs
    Cindy S.

    This location is my favorite. What more could a girl ask for breakfast and mimosas. The service was superb and we didn't have a wait at all. I had their banana pancakes with the delicious walnut syrup concoction....yummy scrambled eggs and sausage links. We ate at the bar and it was just a great time.

This restaurant advertises itself as "gluten friendly" which inadvertently awkward. That's like saying you're "STD friendly" because that's not something anyone ever asks for, I hope. We've eaten here before and it was a good experience. I ordered "safe" and genuinely enjoyed the meal. We stopped in on a weekend visit, and I asked about the gluten free pancakes. The server immediately explained the pancakes were cooked on the same grill as regular, which would make it a hard pass. My husband, who owns a conference and event management company asked if they could make the pancakes in a "clean pan" on the grill. She asked the kitchen, and they agreed. So, I got to have really outstanding gf pancakes with banana slices and it was Christmas on a plate. This alone guarantees I'll be back and will recommend this to others. On the flip side, the scrambled eggs were rubbery and the apple chicken sausage tasted like a depressed half smoke that gave up on life at a young age. I skipped those and would also suggest others do the same.

The soap in the bathroom was also watered down. This location just seems to try and cut corners. For the positives the smoked salmon Benedict was a unique menu item that I enjoyed. I will say the peach French toast was delicious and a perfect addition to a seasonal menu. Raspberry white chocolate cold brew was also good another great seasonal menu item. Lots of booth seating. The industrial look is nice. The server was the sweetest ever. I think they were understaffed because she was also the bartender. Overall, would not be returning.

I ended up on the combo of their soup and salad since their soup also sounded good. I was hesitant on the strawberries in the wine country salad since I know they're not in season really, but they were lovely. Everything in the salad worked well together and the dressing was nice and vinegary while still tasting of raspberries. It was very well balanced except for the ratio of toppings to greens. I feel as though there was just a little too much toppings. It could've used more leafs. As for the soup, it was a little bland, but after adding salt and pepper it tasted nice. It was mostly soup rather than crab or corn though. That was my only critique really, the temperature was good as well. It could've used some crackers on the side, but it wasn't necessary, just would've been a nice touch. Our waitress was quite nice, checked up on us and got us refills. All of our food came out together and hot. The sandwiches on other people's plates all looked wonderful, and after having a shoestring fry, I can definitely say next time I will be ordering some of those. As far as ambiance goes, it was nicely lit but still moody, which was appreciated. Very chill in there. Only reason I rate it 3 stars is because I feel as though there's room for improvement food wise, and price wise. $20+ for almost everything on the menu is pretty ridiculous. Even for some of the simple items. I don't think the food is that good, proportionately appropriate, or creative to be that much money. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel. I'll probably be back to try more items, I'd recommend coming here at least once to try if you haven't, during happy hour to get the best prices if you can.

It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and open gooey deliciousness! Today, Baker's Crust catered breakfast at my office, and I was excited to see a table overflowing with bagels and cream cheeses. It was like Christmas morning for carb lovers! Unfortunately, none of the bagels or cream cheeses were labeled. My excitement quickly turned into confusion when I took a big bite of what I was sure was my beloved strawberry cream cheese... only to discover it was definitely not strawberry. And let's just say an onion bagel paired with the wrong cream cheese is a combination I wouldn't recommend. The food itself was great, but a little labeling would go a long way. A simple sticker or note on the bottom of each cream cheese container and small tent cards identifying the bagel flavors would save future customers from accidental flavor roulette. Still a fan, but next time I'd like to know whether I'm biting into strawberry bliss or an unexpected onion surprise! For a side note it's so easy to order online for a quick stop on the way to work.

Our first table ended up being under a spotlight that was directly in our line of sight (it looked like it was meant for the specials board), so we asked to move. Staff was accommodating and got us to a better table quickly. The space itself is really nice. It was clean, rustically decorated, and the live plants in liquor bottles on the tables are a nice touch. Our server was friendly from the start and took drink orders right away. My daughter and I had sodas, and my husband ordered the Southern Charm Old Fashioned off the specials menu, which he enjoyed. The menu is on the smaller side, which we actually like. One unique detail was the option to "buy a round for the kitchen," which we thought was a really nice touch and decided to add it when we ordered our appetizer. We started with the fried deviled eggs after a friend recommended them. They were creative with three styles (classic with pickle, togarashi ginger, and crispy prosciutto), but overall a bit on the dry side and not as flavorful as we expected. We asked for Dijon, but they don't have it. Our server suggested and brought out the Baja dipping sauce instead, which did pair well and kind of improved them. My husband had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. He said the fish was flaky and well cooked. I ordered the Union grilled cheese, which unfortunately seemed like it had been sitting a bit before being served, as the bottom was soggy. It was just okay overall and not particularly memorable for the price. The sweet potato fries on the side were the clear standout. They were crispy, the perfect balance of sweet and salty and honestly the best part of the dish. Our daughter had the kid's smashburger. It was exactly that. Service throughout the meal was good. She was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and there when needed. The main disappointment came at the end. When our meals were served, the server actually offered sauces at the table (ketchup, mayo, ranch, etc.), and specifically suggested items like the baja sauce for the eggs and ranch to us. Because of that, we were surprised to see several charges for the sauces on the bill, especially since they were offered and recommended at the table with no mention of any additional cost. We were also charged a credit card fee, with no signage anywhere (entrance, hostess stand, or menu) indicating that paying with a card would include an extra charge. It just left an unnecessary sour note on an otherwise solid, casual meal. Nothing was bad, and nothing really stood out as exceptional, but the lack of transparency around those final charges really impacted the overall experience for us.
