The mimosas here are delicious and made from fresh orange juice! However service is relatively slow and they're not coping terribly well with the current construction. Food here was decent as well but not as stand out as the mimosas. read more

I just came back from Norfolk for a religious convention and d'Egg was probably one of the best food experiences I had all weekend. Granted, the time me and my friends got there, most of the other con-goers were crowding the place up, and it took a while for us to be seated. The waitress we had, (Kate, I believe?) Was a bit frazzled but I'm sure it was mainly because of the ridiculous amount of traffic. I personally had a cup of spiced chai which was pretty good, and then a plate of 3 pancakes with strawberries and pecans on top, with hash browns on the side. My friends had similar and they were all pretty satisfied. I didn't notice it on the menu at first but apparently the coffee and the hot teas and hot coco were free refills too, which was nice. The thing that impressed me the most was the quality and the pricing together. I'm so used to IHOP and their microwaved-looking pancakes, tiny, depressing, and not all that filling... this place? They were excellent. Large, with some nice fluff to it and the strawberries were fresh with a good sweet taste to them. Then the pricing... The pancakes were about 4 dollars, both of the toppings were 1 dollar each, the chai was like 1.99 and the hashbrowns were around the same price. Total after tax? $10. $10 in NYC would barely get you anywhere in most restaurants, pretty much impossible in the main Metro area, even in the diners I've been to. I definitely left tip after seeing -that- on my check. If d'Egg had a diner in New York City with the same prices and everything, I'd be a fan forever. Unfortunately I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to visit Norfolk again :c I can only hope read more

I've been in Norfolk for the past two days with Duke and eaten at D'egg both mornings. If you're looking for a great value on a good breakfast, definitely check out D'egg. The servers are all extremely friendly. The prices for all of the food is also very reasonable. I've had the "Wisconsin Feast" both mornings. The portions here are rather large. My breakfast was 3 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 strips of bacon, a sausage patty, and a side. The best part was that all that only ran me about 8 bucks pre-tip. I haven't tried any of the lunch foods, but this is definitely a keeper for breakfasts. read more

This location was my first experience at D'egg (they also have D'egg West) and I was greatly impressed from the beginning! The service is always awesome and the food is fantastic. I had the "Award Winning Meatloaf" and it was deserving of awards. It might be an overused phrase but it was better than mom's. (Sorry Mom!) D'egg West is a closer location for me but with great food and an amazingly friendly and attentive wait staff, this location is a definite go-to when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Went here for breakfast.Typical breakfast fare. Hubby got an omelette that on the menu said pick 3 items for $7.49, but we got charged $8.27. Some of the items they said were more than others. We said it would be nice if the menu actually said that. How do you have a pick 3 deal and then say you picked the wrong 3 They said they are redoing the menu but made no accomodation to us. I ordered the BLT on rye with fries. I got a BLT on dry bread with home fries. I asked for fries since that is what I ordered and they brought them out. The bacon was good, but the rest they could keep. They would have been good if they were hot. Nothing here to write home about. I am sure there are better places out there, we will have to keep looking and keep you posted. read more

I asked to place an order for carry out, but the hostess said they weren't taking those. The place was half empty. I asked if I sat down and then asked for to-go containers once my food arrived that would be ok? She said yes. The waitress at the bar came to take my order and literally asked "is this for here or to go?" I ordered to go with no issue. It took over 25 minutes for me to get my food, and the entire time the waitstaff was going over who had which tables and who was working which shifts during the week...loudly. The food was mediocre at best. Average breakfast food. No utensils or napkins were put in the to-go bag. Not sure I'd waste my time here. read more

One of my friends is a regular at D'egg, so while I was in Norfolk visiting for a weekend, he suggested that we have Sunday breakfast at D'egg before I went on my way. This was a good choice, since D'egg Diner offers a quality selection of menu items, affordable prices and good service. I had ordered a General MacArthur (eggs cooked to order, biscuits and gravy and a choice of breakfast meat --- I had selected sausage) along with some hash browns. The food was served promptly and the serving portions were hearty. We had arrived at 7:30am, when the restaurant was not busy, but all the on-street parking spaces in front of the diner were taken, so we had to park around the corner on Granby Street. Just something to keep in mind read more

Loved this place! I was looking for a place to stop for breakfast at after the Freedom 5K and saw this place on the corner. After a quick Google search, I decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did. It was delicious! It's a place where you seat yourself. I chose a table close to the entrance as I had my 5 month old daughter with me in her stroller. I was greeted immediately by my server and was able to place my order quickly despite the fact that the place was extremely busy. I ordered their The Admiral which consisted of French toast, eggs, and choice of meat. I didn't have to wait long before I got to eat and enjoy my breakfast. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. My server was always checking on me as well, which I greatly appreciated because I felt well taken of. Overall, I loved this place and will definitely be back. Their breakfast selection is great and prices were reasonable. read more

I have to give a 5 the food is delicious and has good presentation, and excellent prices. I came with my family a Sunday morning. I have to add that they even have free valet parking!! read more

While staying at a hotel nearby for a conference I arrived on a Wednesday morning and asked the lady who checked me in for a recommendation on where to grab breakfast and a mimosa. She pointed me to D'Egg, and I'm glad she did. Prices are reasonable, and the mimosas are huge, complete with strawberries in the glass. My friend and I really enjoyed this place. While it could use a new coat of paint and some freshening up, it definitely offered variety. I got the peanut butter and chocolate stuffed French toast. (Don't judge me - I was on vacation...kind of...and how can you not order something as awesome as that?) At first I was a little underwhelmed with the portion size, but as I started to taste the richness of the chocolate and peanut butter I knew that what I got was all I needed. I definitely recommended this place to my friends at the conference as a better alternative to the hotel continental breakfast. read more

According to my sister d'Egg Diner and Citrus are enemies of the Breakfast world, and like the Beatles or Elvis, you can only choose one. Without promoting Citrus unduly I've made my choice and unfortunately its not d'Egg. Don't get me D'rong, it's d'Nice here but I d'don't see myself wanting to come back. Maybe because its D'downtown (okay this has a mind of its own now) and under regular circumstances parking seems like it would be a nightmare. The food is very good and the service decent. I had the Main Street Breakfast, which was a pretty much by the numbers Eggs and Pancake affair. Coffee refills were bountiful, so no complain there, but there was nothing about the place that would make an out of town-er such as myself ask to return. read more

Easygoing spot on main street ...starbuckys right next door...free parking on Sundays and holidays. Good stuff here. Took the recommendation from the Residence Inn staff and was glad I did. Nothing great about the layout; they just make sure you have enough room to get around and eat. Nice sports memorabilia around. Saw a couple of photos of Dr J in a Virginia Squires uniform - now that takes me back a ways! Of course he was dunkin on somebody in one, couldn't make out the other guy's uniform. The owner says he gets asked about that picture all the time - I can see why. read more

So my wife and I ate at D'egg Diner yesterday (2/15/20) and this morning. I got 2 eggs over easy with turkey sausage, applesauce (grits day 2) and a biscuit (sourdough toast day 2). My wife got a build you own sandwich with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese on a beagle (biscuit day 2), no meat. We both had coffee to drink both days. The restaurant is a little on the smaller side but it was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The prices were pretty standard for breakfast (we spent about $20 including tip both days)! Day 1, they accidentally added bacon to my wife's sandwich. We weren't charged for it since we didn't order it, but who can complain about free bacon?!? I will definitely go back next time we are in Norfolk for breakfast! read more

Really upscale 'diner'. The food was good, it wasn't out of this world, but it is worth going back too! The atmosphere was pleasant, all the staff were friendly and the service was terrific! We really enjoyed this diner! Chocolate chip pancakes were ginormous! read more

I usually come in on Saturdays, and this place can get packed. Arrive early during the summer, as there's usually a line. The veggie burger is one of my favorites in town. They also make an amazing meatloaf, for the carnivores out there. They have homemade cakes and pies, as well as really great milkshakes. All of their sides taste homemade as well, with an emphasis on Southern (corn pudding, collards, etc.) They run different daily specials, and just introduced a brisket that my friend swears by. During the week, they do an Early Riser special for $4. It's a great deal for the amount of food it comes with. When I come in on Saturday I usually get a Bloody Mary, and it's always extra hot, the way it should be, but during the week they're are never as good, although I guess there's not many people drinking a Bloody Mary on Tuesday. Regardless, I don't know who makes them on Saturday, but the person should be their go-to drink mixer. I've also noticed that the vibe is a lot more tense when the owner, tall Middle Eastern guy who always stands at the register, is there. Sure, the boss should keep you on your toes, but I've never been to a place where the owner that negatively affects the workers' attitudes. But, I've also worked in the biz forever so I always root for the staff. Overall, if you're looking for a great (the only) brunch spot on a Saturday in downtown Norfolk, definitely go to D'Egg. And make sure you get one of their homemade biscuits...and a slice of that cake! read more

Been here twice and both times I dined-in. One of the more popular breakfast spots downtown Norfolk. The food is delicious and the staff is cool. read more

What a great place! I went here for breakfast because it was close to my hotel and received good reviews on Yelp. I was not disapointed! When I arrived it was crowded but they had one table open which was perfect for me. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. I loved that they were able to answer all of my questions about the menu and keep my iced tea full. Breakfast was yummy. I had the Norfolk combo. Egg (whites) scrambled, turkey sausage and two pancakes. The panckaes were tasty. I only planned to eat half but couldn't pull myself away from the fluffy goodness. read more

The best brunch I have had in Norfolk! Friendly service, vast menu options, fast service, and delicious food. The menu has ample breakfast and lunch options, making this the perfect brunch option. Love it! read more

Exceptional food and service. I had the biscuits and gravy and the cinnamon roll pancake. The freshly squeezed OJ was amazing. Absolutely pleased with my experience here. read more

We gave it another go - there really was no point to trying it again. The food was still just ok, but this time we got an "Annoyed that you're here" style server. No worries, we won't annoy you with our presence again. On a side note, the man who bussed our table was genuinely friendly. read more

We came on a Sunday morning for breakfast and the place was packed. We didn't have to wait too long because it was just 2 of us, but had there been more we would have likely waited for 30+ minutes to sit. Our waitress was nice, but she was slow and forgetful. I had to ask for a glass of water 3 times before she remembered. She came by our table several times and kept forgetting. We ordered a fresh squeezed juice, (the Green Machine) which was very good. I ordered some of their cheesy hashbrowns covered in corn flakes (Aunt Betty's Good Potatoes)...I could have ate an entire bucket of this stuff! So yummy! The brisket benedict - I could have done without though. The brisket was tough and not a juicy as I had hoped it would be. Plus, the hollandaise sauce looked like it had been sitting on top for a hot minute before the waitress realized she needed to bring it to me. I would try D'egg again during a not so busy time to see how other food items stack up. I will not go during a busy breakfast hour because service is lacking. read more

Stumbled across this amazing little gem of a diner. They offer a little bit of everything. breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, dessert, even fresh veggie juices (try the ninja turtle juice - fantabulousness!!!) I had simple eggs, sausage and fruit. But it was delicious. The staff is friendly and very accommodating to the little changes I had asked for in the meal I ordered. Planning on coming back here for breakfast again next time I am in town. The atmosphere is true diner atmosphere, bustling and busy, yet once in the booths, it is relaxing. There are TVs there for various things to watch. I went on a Sunday and they were playing the football games. :) It is adjacent to the Selden Arcade which houses the cultural arts center. read more

We stopped here for breakfast during our visit to Norfolk. It was a Sunday on Memorial Day Weekend around 11AM so, yeh, it was pretty busy. It was just the two of us so we were able to grab seats at the counter. We were pretty close to the cashier (yeh, she pretty much just watched us eat), but we didn't mind because we just wanted a quick, easy and good breakfast. That's what this place is: quick, easy and good. Also inexpensive. I got the Traditional (two eggs, with hash browns and a biscuit) with a Coffee for less than $5 (if I remember correctly). The girl at the cashier (since we were sitting right in front of her) was diligent and friendly and when she wasn't dividing every check between parties dining together, she was wiping down the counter and asking if we needed anything. She was nice about it, too. Props to her for being so awesome. Free refills on coffee! I would definitely swing by there on my next visit. read more

The food and service here is great. I've been a few times and I'm always surprised at both the server and kitchen's grace under fire. The tables are usually packed with hungry regulars and tourists by about 8am, and everything continues to move like a well-oiled machine. I went this morning and had the Downtown Early Riser. This comes in 2 options; 2 eggs with hashbrowns, meat and toast or a biscuit or 2 eggs and 2 pancakes. I think both options are about $3.50. I opted for the pancakes. Everything was served piping hot and was delicious. For $3.50, I could barely finish my meal, the pancakes are HUGE and fluffy, served with whipped butter on top. The eggs were cooked perfectly and with a little salt and pepper they totally hit the spot. read more

Nice little place on Main St. Good service, yet very small coffee cups, i believe i went through 5 of them over breakfast. Small Diner feel to the place, very personal. There is a long bar along the back half of the restaurant, sit down and read the paper or whatever people who sit at the bar do. Food is good, just what you would expect. read more

Food alone would be 5 stars. The staff could stand to be more... professional. There was a situation where I guess a man didn't enjoy his food and a cook came out and pretty much said "Nobody else had complained about it so what's the problem?" It made for pure comedy with me and my friend, but I could tell others around weren't impressed. As far as my visit, great server and meal. read more

Hostess was hesitant to seat us because "kitchen was backed up " At least 6 empty tables. The, what seemed to be owner quickly came forward and took Over, seated the remaining people waiting. Waitress was very friendly and very efficient, we got our drinks fast. Food took over 30 minutes, and was not hot. We noticed a huge change in the swiftness of the staff when the owner left, ( we were at a table by the window and saw him pull off). My advice- seat people when you have available tables , at least to serve coffee. Send out food hot and get some cooks that can at least master oatmeal, breakfast is not that difficult. read more

We came, we ate, we don't get the hype. Just because a serving of meatloaf is the size of Shaquille O'Neal's foot, does not mean it is good. I'd rather see decreased portions and increased quality. On a positive note, everyone who works there is extremely nice. Service is prompt and friendly. read more

Simple breakfast place with excellent service. Everybody goes there. I went to the little tourist info center right next to it after breakfast and the woman behind the desk asked, "Did you just come from D'Egg? I can smell it." Much like Ron Swanson, I have a great appreciation of breakfast foods. I guess you can smell it on me. read more

Went here for lunch with a coworker. I had the cobb salad with no cheese. The waitress was very friendly and professional. Like she really enjoyed her job. I will definitely go again. read more

Sunday morning breakfast. Greeted by friendly hostess and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Our waitress was prompt in taking our beverage order. Coffee for the both of us. The coffee was average but I tend to like a stronger robust coffee. I ordered combo which included eggs scrambled with cheddar and bacon and corned beef hash as side and French toast. While waiting for food to arrived noticed that all wait staff, food runners, bus person were busy, taking care of diners. The scrambled eggs with cheddar arrived more like chopped with very little cheddar cheese. Disappointed. The corned beef hash is homemade not from the can but was really dry and the beef stringy. The French Toast was 4 slices and so so good with lite toasted outside and soft inside. For 2 people we paid $30.00 so overall good value. Would i return...yes to explore other offering and try the orange juice which is fresh squeezed. read more

They have wifi! I didn't expect that. The waitress was wonderful. We never got her name though. The slightly older red haired lady. Very sweet! The water was ice cold. The food was so-so. Pancakes were probably from a box. I make them from scratch a lot, and we go to a local spot near our home in Maryland that we know makes them from scratch. That said, I ate every bite. I was hungry! My husband did not care for the turkey sausage at all. He ate one of my two pieces of bacon. The place could use a refresh. The carpet is worn and permanently stained, there was food on the floor, the plates are tossed in a bin near where you are eating and the plates are cracked. Also, don't go if you are in a hurry. It was a good thing that our waitress was such a sweetheart. If you are going to a nearby museum or meeting, I would go here. We are still exploring Norfolk, so we will see where else to have breakfast tomorrow! read more

Tried to get food to go but apparently you have to dine in just to eat. They're not doing to go for some absurd reason that the monotone hostess refused to tell me. Looks like they don't want business. I work nearby and needed a quick eat for my break. Disappointing because I always wanted to try this establishment but now I will never try them. read more

After seeing All the rave reviews about this place, we checked it out for lunch . I got a wrap and my son got the chicken tenders. Tenders were hard and super overdone. My wrap was like a pre-made cold wrap pulled from the refrigerator and it was over $10 for it. Not very impressed. read more

I've eaten at this D'egg location at least a dozen times over several years. This review is for my most recent visit. Went for Sunday breakfast and it was steadily busy but no wait. Tables turning regularly, seemed to be a broad mix of patrons (60-something couples, young families with babies/toddlers, single guy at the counter, police officers, college-age hangover breakfast, etc). Service was slow... hard to gauge if the kitchen was dragging or our waitress was spacing out. Though I generally anticipate that mug o' diner coffee to arrive faster, ditto on the refill. It's not a fancy brunch, so I'm not going to rate the food as such. Bonus point for offering more options for sides than most diners (not just grits/hashbrowns/toast). And for very nicely accommodating my request to sub spinach for the standard ham on the eggs benedict. And for offering fresh juice blends. I thought my kids' pancakes tasted a bit off, like they need to change the griddle oil? There are definitely fancier breakfast/brunch options, but D'egg is A-OK because it's locally owned, they are toughing out the downtown construction chaos, and it's bikeable. read more

I really don't know what all the hoopla is about. My coworker and I went for lunch and couldn't even eat the food. Maybe we made a mistake by ordering off the lunch specials and not sticking to breakfast food, which is hard to mess up. She ordered a meatloaf special and I ordered a grilled cheese (again, hard to mess up) and a side of mashed potatoes (I love mashed potatoes). The grilled cheese was just simple wonder-style bread and a slice of american processed cheese. I guess you could expect that from a diner, which is not the best, but fine. But it was burned! I couldn't eat it it was so burned. I mean, how hard is it to get grilled cheese right? As for the mashed potatoes (which we both ordered), it was lumps of partially cooked potato in a water sauce. No joke, these potatoes were runny like a watery soup, not even the consistency of a creamy potato soup. And they had no flavor. I couldn't believe anyone in their right mind would serve this food. My friend was not pleased with her meatloaf either. We both left the place hungry and disappointed. It's a shame because d'Egg is in a prime location on Main Street at the Selden Arcade. It's a lovely cafe and always busy. The service was great about getting us in and out on our lunch hour. But I won't be going back. read more

Neat place. I ordered a D'feast...came with eggs, Turkey sausage and blueberry pancakes. It was average overall. Pancakes were the highlight. Eggs were tasteless. Sausage was not good. My friend ordered an omelet. He said it was "pretty good." Good service. Probably won't come back here. read more

Greeted kindly immediately upon entering by the kind hostess. Our large party was seated in only a few minutes. This surprised us because we were told it would be at least a 20 minute wait. What a relief! We were starved. The food was definitely above average. Our party order a wide variety of entrees from French toast, to a breakfast burger, a burrito, and even eggs! It was wild. Each person thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The best part of our experience was the fantastic busser. He approached our table and asked us if he could clear our plates. After we accepted, he swiftly cleaned the table letting out a joyous "Whoop!" after grabbing each plate. This garnered a chuckle every time he did it. How wonderful. I would certainly recommend D'Egg (is that what this place was called? I forget actually) to anyone looking for a delicious meal in the Greater Norfolk sub-community. Thanks for your time. read more

Don't go out of your way for this. Portions were big and shareable. Food was cold - both entrees - and they took over 20 minutes to get. The restaurant was half empty and we had ordered breakfast. I don't get the wait or cold food. The table next to us had the same problem. Server Calie was cool and helped us out with local attraction recommendations (basically the beach boardwalk). Prices were $$ out of $$$$ but decently sized. read more

It's a diner. Nothing more, nothing less. The food was ok. My sausage patty was a little overdone but the pancakes sure made up for it!!! They were huge and fluffy!! Just like I like em. Our server was extremely nice and was very tentative. Their menu was just the right size bc what I can't stand more than anything is a place that has a menu so big, it's overwhelming. I also like the location of the place. Very central to everything. There are a lot of construction going on around it though, so it does get noisy. read more
