The Shorty with Bacon
Kent P.

I gotta admit I was expecting a sitdown restaurant and the handsome biscuit is not a sitdown restaurant. However, if you're ok with carrying out or sitting outside, it's a great place. The food is delicious. The biscuits are amazing and I highly recommend this place.

My husband and son had been raving about this spot and finally got to try it. Great chicken and biscuit will be back to try others

Locally famous, Handsome's is well regarded for their biscuits and sandwiches. Not from the South, the thickness of a biscuit is unusual for me. These biscuits, however, are really flaky and tasty. The egg, cheddar, bacon breakfast offering is pretty good. I thought it a bit dry, and would have liked a mayo or another sauce to provide additional flavor and moisture. The service was excellent and friendly (as were other patrons). It is a small business, so all seating is outside. Take out orders are popular.

"My mind is telling me no, but my tastebuds...my tastebuds are telling me yes! I don't see nothing wrong, with a fried chicken breast on a sweet potato biscuit..." Seriously, you just gotta try it. I recommend the one with pickles, pimento, hot sauce, and adding a fried egg. If you need a veggie break, they sell side salads to offset their other side offerings of loaded fries or tots...

Handsome Biscuit is my go-to breakfast spot when I am in Norfolk. We grabbed biscuits this past weekend, and it was ok. It wasn't as savory as I remembered, but I can't point to one particular reason. The size was typical and all of the toppings were there. Maybe the chicken was flavored differently? Or maybe I needed more toppings. Overall, I didn't walk away with the satisfied feeling I usually have. 3 STARS! I know I will be back. No question about it. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt of having an off day. It was a busy day in the city. I'll give an updated review after I visit again.

Bacon and egg sandwich

First and last time going here. $10 bucks for a sandwich with a half a slice of bacon on it. Shameful....(adding to my review)..This sandwich is disguising. I can't even eat it. It even smells funny.

Finally tried Handsome Biscuit and I definitely see why the original location has been in business since 2013 and they have a new, sit down spot in VB. The original is located between Park Place and Ghent, at 26th & Colonial Avenue. It's a small place, order in only, very bright and pleasant. Two people were behind the counter working efficiently. There are laminated menus next to the two ordering kiosks, as well as digital displays, giving multiple ways to view your options. I like kiosk ordering, especially when, as in this case, your order is automatically added to Toasttab, where you can later view your receipt and track your loyalty points. The young man who made my order smiled when he handed it to me. Best of both worlds: good use of tech while not sacrificing human pleasantries. The biscuits are large and flaky, soft where they should be and crunchy where they should be, with a hint of sweetness. I ordered a Shorty with egg & cheese, and added chicken so I'd have some for later, as well as an additional chicken biscuit and tots with green chili aïoli. There were quite a bit of tots, enough to share, and they were hot and crunchy. Handsome Biscuit is a great option for good, local, handhelds. Of note: this location is card only, no cash.

You've Never had a Biscuit Like This

I love the non existent customer service that I have been experiencing in Norfolk. Sorry to be a bother, I thought this was a place to eat and you profit from customers which is what I am. Food is of the average quality. Used to be a great place before COVID.

Tuesday morning visit to Handsome Biscuit was the perfect start to the day! The biscuits are light & fluffy but also soft & doughy at the same time. The egg & bacon were cooked perfectly. The service was friendly & speedy! You order on the kiosk inside or you can place an order ahead of time to pick up. There is no indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor picnic tables. I look forward to trying more of there biscuit creations! Highly recommend!

One word, delicious! On a recent trip to Norfolk I enjoyed the Handsome Biscuit. While here I had the Hella Fitzgerald w/ a fried egg. This biscuit comes with chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and sausage gravy. Had to have add the egg. The biscuit itself was so good. Flaky and buttery. The chicken was crispy and deliciously cooked. Batter heavy. If you aren't a batter fan, you may take issue. The bacon was crispy as well. And the sausage gravy? On point. One thing...this biscuit is sloppy, so eat it fast. Of course I had to drizzle that hot sauce on top! 10/10 would dine again. SYOY!

(Updated rating) Found out about this spot from mrchimetime on tiktok and he was definitely right about how good this place was. I ordered a takeout order of the chicken classic combo with orange juice and tots for a total of 16$ (a lil expensive). The chicken biscuit sandwich was great especially the chicken which was crispy and juicy and also the comeback sauce was also pretty good as well. The tots were standard but tasted even better with the comeback sauce. The orange juice was okay but nothing special. All in all, this place is really good and I woula recommend to all and be open to returning whenever I'm in the area.

So so good. One of the best biscuit places I've ever been to! The comeback sauce is delicious and the biscuits and chicken are always so good. Go out of my way to stop here on road trips. If I was local, I would go incredibly too often. The service is always good and you get your food quickly.

Bacon egg and cheese biscuit
Terri P.

I went to the Handsome Biscuit for the first time. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit was good! They only have outdoor seating at pic nic tables. It is a nice little outdoor eating area. You order on a computer screen, however the workers were very helpful as I was not familiar with the menu. The food was ready in a timely manner and the biscuit was good!

This place checked all of those boxes. There were large fridge cases with a huge selection of drinks but sadly no Aquafina. We were waited on at the counter promptly. Our food was out quickly. Now for the not so good stuff. I ordered a Capri panini, hold the hot peppers. It is pictured on the menu as being on toasted bread. It was served on pita bread that was not toasted and there was no sign of the spinach that was in the description. The salami mentioned must have been a beef salami and not what I was expecting. It was fine but not delicious. My friend ordered a Philly steak that she trashed as the meat resembled steak in no way. The ambiance is worn and pretty abused looking. The seating couches/chairs were grungy (not sure how they expected to keep white cushions clean looking) and accommodate only 2 parties if you want to sit at a table. The food is Halal so if you want that, great, but I prefer my Deli to also serve pork products which this place does not. We were disappointed and will not be back.

Bread not toasted enough so got soggy with dressing pretty quick. Meat was sliced very thin with little fat. This is always a recipe for dry sandwich when heated. This sandwich was no exception. $14 for sandwich and 16oz soda. Only pro is that it is open late. Weak three.

Updated Review:…read more R.A.S is located inside of the handsome biscuit. There isn't really any seating inside so you have to order to go or sit down outside. The sandwich is just as the store name suggests basic, if you like a classic simple sandwich then this is your spot. I would have like to have seen a slightly higher quality meat for a sandwich shop. The meat on the sandwiches seems like regular prepackaged deli meat, given the price point there's nothing wrong with that. Most if not all of the sandwiches start at 8$ so everything is decently priced. If you want a sandwich but you don't want a jimmy John's or subway sub this is a nice alternative for a little midday lunch. Original Review: The yelp page says permanently closed however it is not, the sandwich just moved locations. It is now located inside of the handsome biscuit restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant. I have attempted to try it a few times however they're "closed" each time despite the neon open sign being lit. The business should clarify if they are only open until they sell out or they may need to adjust the hours of operation that they have posted across various platforms as it causes confusion.

It has been nearly three weeks; I can stop thinking about No Frill Bar and Grill…read more I'm a military spouse, so I know my time in Hampton Roads is coming to an end soon. I visited a Hampton Roads Restaurant group on FB and asked if someone was visiting from out of town: What is your go-to place to take them? Out of 90+ comments, No Frill Bar and Grill was mentioned the most - six times! So when I finally had a day off and some other business to tend to in Norfolk, it was the perfect excuse to finally try them. No Frill Bar and Grill has been open for nearly 30 years by Jerry Meltsner. Jerry's nephew Jon Kliner helps co-own and manage operations. It originally opened on Tidewater Drive, but the space didn't allow for much growth - 10 years later, he moved to a location off Colley Avenue and Spotswood Avenue. Growth continued, moving from counter service to table service. The second location, at 1620 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, opened in 2005. The restaurant's longevity stems from quality, consistency, price, service, and staff who genuinely care about the business and serving the community. I asked the server for her opinion on two options - Salmon, Shrimp and grits won. The dish was incredible: lightly blackened salmon, for once blackened food that doesn't just taste like salt. I don't dine with the swine, so I asked for no andouille sausage. The sautéed shrimp, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and spinach simmered in Norfolk Canyon ale sauce over cheesy grits and Boursin lavash cracker. The cheesy grits were smooth, and the Boursin lavash cracker was a nice touch. The Boursin added extra creaminess to the meal. The cracker wasn't really a cracker - more like little toasted bread. After this first meal, I know two things for sure: 1. I definitely understand why it is such a local favorite, and 2. I will be back.

The venue manages to strike a perfect balance between laid-back vibes and a lively, energetic crowd. You can tell from the moment you walk in that it's designed for great live music and a fun night out. First, let's talk about the space. It's open but still feels intimate. Mo matter where you stand, you get a good view of the stage. The sound quality was impressive; clear vocals and just enough bass to feel the energy of the show without being overwhelming. The lighting setup added a great ambiance, especially once the main act took the stage. One of my favorite things about The Annex is the full bar and food options. I started the night with a local craft beer (they have a great selection!) I didn't get food, but they had plenty of options. There's something for everyone: wings, sandwiches, sharable snacks. It's much more than just bar food. Prices were fair, cheaper than most concert venues I've been to, which I really appreciated. The staff behind the bar moved quickly and were always friendly, even when things got busy. What really set the night apart, though, was the vibe. Everyone from the security at the door to the other concertgoers was there to have a good time, and it showed. The Annex is a solid spot for catching live music, grabbing a drink with friends, and actually enjoying some good eats. I look forward to returning for another show in a few weeks.
