    Steak &  steak & Hash
    Queen B.

    First time at this particular location... love the energy and vibe from the moment I walked in. I was greeted instantly and seat right after. Jennifer was our waitress and her service was absolutely spectacular. I was celebrating with my sister and ordered the closest thing to steak and eggs... which just happed to be the Steak & Hash.! I asked for the potatoes to be super crispy, eggs scrambled soft and a medium rare steak. Jennifer advised that I cannot order the steak to the temp of my choosing because, this dish does not come with a whole steak. This dish comes with cut up steak pieces. She requested for them to be cooked light. This dish also doesn't come with eggs. I ordered it on the side. Overall this dish was very pleasing to the eye but my darn potatoes were COLD... I was breaking all the rules and ordered carbs after my intense workout just to be heavily disappointed with cold taters lol... the fish looks amazing but this goes to show you that looks can be deceiving. The eggs were cooked to perfection.. not just anyone can scramble eggs soft. So the kitchen does get a point or two for that. The steak pieces are very small and thin my sliced.. not much flavor but at least they weren't chewy. Overall I did not eat my dish. I just packed up the entire plate and enjoyed two glasses of champagne with grapefruit juice. My guest ordered a dish called the chicken chimichangas or chickichangas. I believe and she devoured it!!! I didn't get a picked but it looked like a chicken omelet with hollandaise on top and some fresh fruit! Overall I am eating this place a 3 only because my service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and had ample parking.. the bathroom was clean and I just happened to be in great company. Side note. They do not sell regular size bottles of champagne. Here. You can order champagne or mimosa and they sell small individual bottles of Barefoot Prosecco I believe.

    First Watch is such a delicious breakfast spot and definitely worth checking out. There was a pretty long wait when we arrived, but the staff handled it really well--they communicated clearly, took my phone number, and kept us updated so we knew exactly when we'd be seated, which made the wait much more manageable. The food was absolutely worth it, fresh and flavorful all around. As a bonus, there was a really cool local vendor market happening next door, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable while we waited. I'll definitely be coming back.

    It was after a morning doctor appointment in Chesapeake. We were hungry, not having had much time for food before leaving. I had seen so many people on Yelp who had eaten at First Watch. There was one relatively close. It was time to explore in person. The first negative I saw at the Summit Point location was people waiting in the outer lobby. Not a good sign. I wasn't familiar with the area. So I had no idea that it was next to the Family Dollar Corporate Headquarters or that Summit Pointe was a mixed use development with shops, offices and housing. That's a lot of people all looking for a lunch spot. There was a wait but we were hungry and decided to stay. A nice man, who was also waiting with us in the outer lobby, told us about a feature on their App where you could see the wait & join the list remotely. I downloaded and set up the App while we waited. When our table was ready service was quick. A coffee cup, pot and water was immediately brought to our table. I did want coffee. But it's very old school to assume everyone does. It also told me there were no specialty coffees. I smiled when I saw the FLORIDIAN FRENCH TOAST on the menu. It was billed as made with Thick-cut artisan baked challah bread with fresh banana, kiwi, seasonal berries and powdered cinnamon. There was no doubt as to what I would order. Thick cut challah bread French Toast is one of my favorite Brooklyn breakfast choices. The server asked if I wanted bacon. My response was that I really did but it didn't work with my calorie count. He pointed out that apple chicken sausage was a choice. So I ordered that on the side. When the food arrived I was extremely disappointed. The challah bread wasn't thick. It was the thickness of normal bread. It lacked the softness of a well prepared challah bread French Toast. Having ordered sugar free syrup, I asked if that was what the small container on my plate contained. She acted surprised & returned with a container of sugar free syrup in the manufacturer packing, just as if had been purchased from the grocery shelf. Now let's talk about the Apple Chicken Sausage. The two pieces came sliced very thin and were brown. I tried cutting into one. It was very tough. I didn't eat very much. The cost certainly wasn't indicative of the price I was charged. My friend ordered pancakes & bacon. Each piece of bacon was cooked differently. One was almost completely raw. Ugggg The decor was that of a chain restaurant, which I didn't know before arriving that it was. Rating is 2.5 for the food, rounding up to 3 for the cool App. There's no reason to keep the App on my phone though. I won't be returning.

    The blueberry lemon cornbread is such a delicious treat to share at the able! It's warm , flavorful, and loaded with butter. I also got the pesto chicken power bowl. It was packed with quinoa, protein and the pesto was on point. I love all of their juices. Place is nice and organized. Staff is top notch! I love First Watch!

    I hit up First Watch in Chesapeake before heading out to do some errands and it hit the spot. The staff is always friendly, give great recommendations if you are having a difficult time deciding and parking is a breeze with ample spots in their lot, or the garage caddy corner to them. Décor is like hipster modern meets the farmhouse which goes with their farm-to-table theme. On this visit I got my favorite the Chickichanga. An omelet like dish filled with chicken, chorizo, avocado, chilies, and cheese. Served with a side of home fries this will stick with you for a day of shopping or work.

    I came here with my family and honestly this place was amazing. Even though they were super busy the restaurant was clean we were seated quickly and the customer service was excellent. My family even ordered an omelet for me since I was running late. When I asked my mom which one it was she said she forgot but it was still really good. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back.

    I saw First Watch had lemon blueberry cornbread on their menu. I never had that flavor before. The lemon was the whip on the cornbread. I ordered the protein breakfast which contain Italian sausage, mushrooms, kale, quinoa, cheese, and over easy egg. The meal was delicious. I will be back for the cornbread and trying another meal. The service was fast and the restaurant was busy. There was music. Paying for my food was a new experience, I paid on my phone, there was another option you can choose.

    Market hash with maple bacon
    Myra E.

    This was my first time at First Watch. My husband and I came here with two of our friends. We each enjoyed our meals and our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Collectively, we ordered the Market Hash dish with a side of maple bacon, pancake with a side of eggs, the Chickichanga, the Quinoa Breakfast Power Bowl, and Morning Meditation drinks. The only con of this experience is when I went to the bathroom and walked out of the bathroom. The women's bathroom had large puddles of water on the floor from one stall and it looked like there was smeared geese poop on the floor of the other stall. Then, when I walked out of the bathroom I immediately slipped and fell. There was an employee there who saw me fall and asked me if I was okay but didn't offer any assistance with helping me off the floor. As I was getting up my husband realized I had fallen and ran over to help me up and make sure I was okay. At first I thought I had slipped because of all the water on my shoes from the bathroom floor, but then my husband said the staff had just mopped the floor outside the bathroom before I fell, and there was another customer who fell by the entrance after they mopped just a few minutes before I fell. This happened as they were preparing to close, and I get that they were trying to clean up before leaving but wet floor signs being posted and prompt cleaning of puddles would have been helpful. Update: Customer care reached out to me immediately after seeing my review and arranged a call with me to apologize for the experience I had, ask if I was okay, and offered to send gift cards if I was interested in giving First Watch restaurants another try. I would try other First Watch locations, and I really appreciate the caring outreach made by the customer care team. I was sent gift cards, a First Watch cookbook, an oven mitt and a handwritten card by customer care, which was very thoughtful and speaks to the level of care and seriousness the company places on customers having a good experience with the company. I'm looking forward to trying First Watch again at other locations!

    We were recommended to try this place so it was a bit of a wait considering it's the day after christmas. But it's a nice place with friendly service. the coffee was very good, but i wish they had some options like lattes. anyway everyone enjoyed their meals and the portions were generous. Just a suggestion to go easier on the salt.

    Steel Cut Oats
    Marianna F.

    Steel Cut Oats Breakfast is an instant classic! The oats are smooth, warm and delicious. The fruit, brown sugar and milk are perfection. The blueberry muffin is a perfect accompaniment. Love, love, love!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    John P.

    Our go to brunch spot. It is always busy on a weekend for brunch/breakfast for good reason. We sat at the bar to avoid waiting for a table to open up. The bartender was super friendly. Food; my favorite is the Pesto Chicken Quiona Bowl. If you like pesto it's a great brunch option. My wife gets the Works Omelette with the million dollar potatoes upgrade which is delicious. We have never been dissatisfied with any food item here. Drinks; I got Honey Caramel Iced Coffee it was sweet and delicious. My wife got the pomegranate sunrise which was a perfect brunch drink. The ambiance is wonderful. The restaurant is clean and the staff are all super friendly. You won't be disappointed with anything here. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for an excellent breakfast/brunch spot.

    Our server Ashley was great! She was quick and efficient with a warm smile. Our food was ordered and arrived timely. I had the double bacon Parmesan hash...it was delish!! It's the perfect mix of bacon, eggs, home fries, and veggies (onions, spinach, and arugula). I really hope they add it to the regular menu. I added a side of chicken sausage patties to increase my protein intake. I also had a Purple Haze, which is my new favorite drink! They have a bar area plus some booths and tables. I like the variety of seating. There's also outdoor seating available for warmer days. It's in the Summit Pointe complex near the Dollar Tree headquarters. Check it out!!

    Morning Meditation
    Cindi W.

    Came for brunch after church.Thankful I got on the waitlist so once we arrived we didn't have that long of a wait, it was packed in there!!. Our server was very friendly. I got the morning meditation juice and the healthy turkey omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was really good. I wasn't sure if I'd like the tomatoes in it, but it was good. The juice was cute and tasty. Another great meal.

We always choose the Greenbrier location in Chesapeake since there's ample parking available, and the service is very good. Tonight I tried a new salad, the Lemon Basil Harvest Blend, and I appreciated our server, Jackeline M for asking if I preferred the dressing on the side. Yes, please! I'm so glad she asked! This mixed greens salad has some star ingredients that caught my eye: charred artichokes, green olives, and grilled balsamic chicken. Yum. I'll be ordering this salad again. My bestie ordered her favorite bc combo with Tomato Soup and the Wine Country salad. She says that soup and salad combo never disappoints. She finished it! But, we always save room to share a trusty bc favorite dessert: the Wimbledon (strawberries with whipped cream crepes). Although it's no longer on the menu, the Greenbrier location always whips it up for us when we ask. It's an oldie, and a goodie! We enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Baker's Crust and find that our dinner catch ups over their delicious food and dessert are always long overdue. I boxed half of my salad to take home and Jackeline was kind in bringing me extra salad dressing to go. Very thoughtful. We'll be back soon!

The waitress was very nice about accommodating our request. They put us at a way larger booth which was more comfortable! It was a little louder because it was in the bar area, but it wasn't a problem. The inside where the bar is has several large screen tvs. There were several staff members there, and they were friendly. The menu has a good amount of options to choose from. Ranging from burgers, fish, steaks, chicken, apps, pasta, desserts, and etc. We ordered the shotgun shrimp, big o's onion rings, a mango frozen drink, blues lemonade, coffee, fish and chips, side salads, steaks, and Mac n cheese with chicken pasta. The food came out in a decent time. The only problem was my chicken and bacon macaroni came out after everyone had finished eating. It took 40 minutes for some reason, and they forgot the bread that comes on the side. It also had very little chicken in it!! The fish and chips were good. You get 2 good sized tempura battered fish. They weren't seasoned really, but tasted good with the sauce. The onion rings were tasty! They were big and definitely shareable!! They use tempura batter on them also. The sauce is like a smoky bbq sauce that went well with them. My parents enjoyed their steak and sides, they said the potatoes were good. My sister enjoyed her meal also. The side salad was a good portion. I enjoyed the shotgun shrimp. They were supposed to put the sauce on the side, so we sent them back and they corrected it with no problem. Our waitress Kaylee was very attentive, friendly, and upbeat! She made the visit enjoyable. I did appreciate that mostly everything was good! I wish I had gotten my bread and my Mac pasta was seasoned with more chicken. But I didn't check that until I got home since it was boxed up before we left. The front house manager Michael introduced himself and was very friendly as well. It was our first time there and he gave us a warm welcome. I'd definitely return to eat here again! Check them out!!

It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.

    Food was amazing at Brickhouse Diner. Covenant location…read more Plenty of parking. Everyone is so nice and service is top notch. I would recommend to family and friends and do as much as I am able. Portions are on point. Drinks are as amazing as the food. Wait staff are always on top of everything. Very clean and have never had to wait long. Service with a smile. Feels like home when you are there.

    The Brick House Diner is located in the Providence Square Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. This…read moreshopping center is accessible from both Providence Rd. and Kempsville Rd. I have had a few visits here now, and the most recent visit was on January 12, 2026. At the beginning of each new year, I like to try a place that I have never been to before, so January 1, 2026, was the first time I had come here. My mom was with me. Depending on when you come in general, parking can be limited at times with all the other businesses in this shopping center. Upon first look at the place from the outside, you can see the name and logo pretty easily. It looks similar to other places that happen to be in this same shopping center. We got here around 8 am on that first visit. When we came inside, it wasn't too busy yet, likely due to others probably still sleeping after being up past midnight for the new year. The inside of the place has a modern diner type of vibe, which fits the restaurant well. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Brooke came over pretty quickly and asked us what we would like to drink. I just do my usual of water with lemon, and my mom had gotten coffee. It would take us a little while to choose since there lots of good items to choose from. When she came back to check again, we were ready this time. I figured I'd get something I don't normally do, so I went for the French Toast Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon, and baked apples. My mom decided to go with the Ultimate Skillet with rye toast. The food would come out pretty quick. It was around ten minutes or so. Both breakfast entrees looked really good and they were hot. It felt like an indulgence when I started on the French toast since it has been a long time since having it. The baked apples were great too, and something else I don't normally have. I will note that I didn't get a blood sugar spike after this meal either that day. My mom enjoyed the Ultimate Skillet as much as I did with the French Toast Combo. After the experience from that first visit, we came back to try the lunch/dinner menu options for dinner that day. This visit was on January 12, 2026. After being seated initially, we moved over to a table since the booths were a bit tight. Kellie was our server on this visit. She asked us what we wanted to have to drink, and I went with water with lemon and my mom went with a coke. After taking some time to look over the menu, we were ready to order. My mom decided not to have too much, so she just went with the Loaded Baked Potato side item. I decided to try the Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with the homemade chips as the side. Just like the last time, it took about ten minutes or so for the food to come out. The sandwich I had was really good, and so were the homemade chips. This time, this meal did spike my blood sugar levels, but it was so good. My mom told me afterwards that the loaded baked potato she had come out cold. It was then that we let the server know, and she asked if she wanted to get it redone. She said no but wanted to take it home instead. The server did take off the cost of that item. It was likely due to it sitting before my sandwich was ready to bring them out together. Mom did get a box to bring it home and had it later that evening, and she said it was good when it was heated up at home too. Overall, we have had a few very good experiences here. The food and service were good, and the issue for my mom was handled well too. That shows they truly care about the experience of the visitors here. Both menus may be just two sides, but there is quite a bit to choose from. I think anyone would find something they would like here. There is one thing I want to note when it comes to paying. There is a 3% surcharge added to the total including taxes if you use a credit card instead of cash. In the end, if you are looking for a diner type of place, this one is worth checking out.

    I love diners and a very nice breakfast experience, so when I was in the area I did some research…read moreand two places that seemed to be nicely rated were Pop's and Filipino style breakfast place. I opted for Pop's. They weren't busy with regular customers when I arrived (I say "regular" because it appeared that someone rented out one side of the restaurant for a presentation and no one was on the other side). I was quickly greeted and seated and my server was friendly and very attentive and helpful. The menu is loaded with excellent options and there were so many that I had a tough time deciding. I opted for their Chorizo Bowl. Their coffee was great! I was amazing at how clean the water glass was... it's small things like this that tell me about their attention to detail - very important to notice! The Chorizo Bowl was bland and boring, which is unfortunate. I really wanted to like it, but there was no sauce, no flavor distinction between the items in the bowl and it smelled like flat top grill, not like the ingredients in the bowl. Hot sauce helped, but didn't really help that much. I ended up eating about 1/3 of it. My server did notice and ask, but I told her it was fine... I honestly didn't want to start over and I was short on time. I like the concept, if I ever came back, I'd do something different.

    Pop's Diner was a great first time experience for us. The coffee was fresh and really good, which…read moreis always a great way to start a meal for me. My daughter had the Hawaiian Mimosa (champagne, pineapple juice, and grenadine) and it was perfection well balanced between the juice and champagne without being too sweet. We ordered the she crab soup as well. My daughter really enjoyed it, but it just wasn't for me. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why it simply wasn't something I would order again. Overall, the food was great. My daughter ordered an omelette and said she would definitely get it again, though next time she'd ask for the lemon dill sour cream on the side because the flavor was a little overpowering for her. I had the pancake combo played it safe because this was our first visit. Overall, we had a good experience and the ambiance is nice booth and table style set up. I would come back to try more items on the menu.
