The location is convenient with plenty of parking right next to the Hilton Garden Inn, making it easy to find and access. The venue offers nice variety in seating -- you can choose between the well air-conditioned indoor space with attractive decor and high-top tables, or head outside to their spacious outdoor area. There's even a rooftop area that looks promising (though I didn't get to explore it this visit). Inside, you'll find TVs for catching the game and a pretty good bar selection, though it's not quite a full bar. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which really elevated the experience. I tried the Southern Brogue stout and it was excellent -- definitely worth ordering. Fair warning: it does get loud since it's an active brewery, so it's not the place for an intimate quiet conversation. But if you're looking for a lively atmosphere with good beer, friendly service, and flexible seating options, New Realm delivers. Would definitely come back to check out that rooftop!

It was a stale smell that could easily be remedied by a carpet washing if somebody cared enough to make an effort. It's not like they don't have time to freshen up the place; nobody is eating there. I ordered the Cajun blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I asked for no seasoning. The salmon came out fine. The potatoes were too salty and had too much butter. I did like that they mixed peels with the potato's, but the over seasoning ruined it. The broccoli was horrible. It tasted like it had been in the freezer for a year and recooked. The broccoli was also over buttered, and I have to wonder if they were trying to hide the freezer burn taste. It makes perfect sense that the broccoli would be old. They haven't had customers in a while, so the broccoli spent a lot of time in the freezer. But here's the thing: for what we paid, we deserved a fresh bag of broccoli. If I wanted food like this, I could've grabbed food from the back of my freezer and cooked it myself. It bothers me that it would've taken just a few extra steps to make the establishment an enjoyable dining experience. Maybe they foul it up because they don't enjoy serving large crowds. The younger generation has no work ethics. I will not eat at this store again.

Staff like to talk to each other like street talk across room even when customers are in the room. If you are paying staff, they should be working not sitting in booth playing computer and talking to each other at $15 plus and hour. Likely a worker pink backpack on table and no one seems to care that a customer might want to sit there. I think only reason people come here is it is close to base and name, likely do not come back often unless they are use to poor service.

The first time here service was excellent but it was also very slow. For take out, the food was slow but the service taker was good. The last time I went dining in, it was a Friday and they were a little busy but my waitress had no interest in serving me so service was bad. The restaurant itself is adjacent to the casino on the non-smoking side but it is not too noisy in the restaurant itself. The restaurant is always clean and seems to be staffed pretty decently. The food usually comes out relatively fast. I ordered the Hampton roads cheese steak, the prime rib, and the salad, onion rings, and the collard greens and all the food I have eaten has been good. No issues there. The management staff is pretty visible during busy times but don't see them openly helping staff. I think the restaurant is decent for spending your casino points but if I was paying to eat out, I would definitely not spend my money to eat here.

I mentioned this because I gave them my credit card to pay for the food and it took them quite a while to bring my credit card back to the window so I was just wondering what was going on so I did peep between the edge of the screen and the window pane to see what was going on, and one young lady was holding the card and another young lady came in and looked at the card and I'm assuming that they had already put it in the machine, but it took so long I had to knock on the window to find out what was taking so long for them to return my card and that was a concern for me.

We ordered a mix of sweet and savory, and every single item delivered: The peach pecan streusel crêpe was pure comfort warm, buttery, and perfectly balanced with that sweet, nutty crunch. I usually get extra caramel drizzle. The French toast crêpe. Imagine your favorite brunch classic leveled up into something soft, rich, and absolutely indulgent. The Nutella and banana crêpe is a crowd pleaser, especially for kids. It's creamy, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweetness. The turkey, goat cheese, and avocado panini brought the savory side. The flavor was great, and came with kettle chips. The drinks were just as fun and unique. The butterfly pea flower lemonade, was not only refreshing but visually stunning. We also got the mango soda and a blueberry soda, both bursting with flavor and kid approved.

It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel good, and then leave already planning your next visit.

We had a great, great Boil experience at the NN location. We built our own boil & it was delicious. My only gripes were as follows: we didn't get nut Crackers, we got paper plates & plastic utensils! Ever try to eat a boil with these items? It's a struggle. The clams were really, really small, but the crab legs were larger than the other NN location that I tried. They also offer scallops & eggs at this location. We opted for a boil with Crab legs, scallops, shrimps (no head), clams, sausage, eggs, potato & corn. I would definitely try this location again because it is a great value for the money. Three of us ate from this boil and we still brought some leftovers home. read more

First Watch is the ultimate brunch spot, and honestly, it's my go-to for good reason! Whether it's a lazy weekend morning or a mid-week brunch craving, this place never misses. The Farmhouse Skillet is my usual order, and it's always cooked to perfection. On top of that, the service is super fast and friendly, even when the place is packed. Today, I decided to switch it up with a drink from their spring menu, and I was living my best Swiftie life with the "Purple Haze." Naturally, I had to blast Lavender Haze on the way home. Overall, First Watch nails it for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Highly recommend for a casual, reliable, and always-delicious experience! read more

Shoutout to our waitress, who was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. I'm currently being mindful of my blood pressure, and she made sure my food was prepared without added salt with zero attitude and full care. That level of service really stood out! The omelet was flavorful without being overwhelming, the fruit was fresh, and the sweet potato pancakes still hit without all the extras; soft, comforting, and perfectly cooked. They didn't even need syrup or butter to fully enjoy. I'm giving 4 stars because while the food and service were great, I still want to come back and try a few more things before calling it perfect. But I can absolutely see why this place has been a Norfolk staple for over 60 years. I'll definitely be back.

D'egg is one of the area's simple diners. They're open for breakfast and lunch (7:30a-2:30p daily) and they offer typical American breakfast/brunch items. What set them apart (for me, at least) was that their employees were always kind, nice and helpful. Customer service really goes a long way. When I arrived, it wasn't super busy, but there were enough occupied tables to convince me to sit at the bar. The server who helped me was just as kind, nice and helpful as every employee I've encountered during previous visits, so I was happy to see that aspect hasn't changed. I noticed they changed from Pepsi to Coke products. It was recent, too, because some of the Coke items weren't available that day. Not a big deal, but the switch is worth mentioning for those hardcore Pepsi fans. Btw, this D'egg location looked clean and organized. I took a few minutes to order, and my server offered to answer any questions I had. I ordered an item I haven't eaten in a long time - country fried steak. My entree was out in no time and mine came with scrambled eggs (you can choose how you want your eggs), tots and wheat toast. They gave me a lot of gravy - regardless, I devoured my dish. Soon afterwards, I paid and was out the door. So if you're in a rush, this D'egg location might be the spot. I've always enjoyed my visits to D'egg, and my most recent visit provided more of the same. I feel D'egg is consistently good and I admire the friendly service the provide. Thank you, D'egg! JV
