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.

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!

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.

(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.

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!

We were turned on to Rustic Spoon a couple years ago when visiting family in Norfolk. Now, it's a must STOP whenever visiting the area. On our last visit, I realized I've checked in and posted pics but never reviewed. Needless to say, I've been gate keeping this little gem as long as I could. Sadly it's been a known spot for locals for years. Whenever we visit, the food and service has been spot on. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Just yesterday, Isabel was our server. As with previous visits, we were taken care of with personable and friendly service. She was a good sport about some minor issues we kind of made jokes about and went along with them... Food wise, they have a regular menu with some great options as well as some specials they change and rotate seasonally. I've enjoyed the Soft Shell Crab Benedict, Fried Shrimp Benedict, Shrimp and Grits, Short Rib Hash among the various brunch items. I've seen and wanted to try their dinner options but sadly have only visited during brunch hours. They have a main dining area and bar area, patio dining and an upstairs area for dining. All are comfortable and service from the kitchen is prompt. Definitely a worthwhile stop when in the area. Keep on Yelp'n!

We like Rustic Spoon quite a bit and look forward to a return visit!

I was taken care of by the chef and she was very helpful with the menu. They have so many appetizing options on their mostly healthy, all fresh menu. I love soup, so I love that they offer several each day, with some standards, plus a soup of the day, which on the day I visited was cream of potato. Where I sat at the counter, I could watch them making all the food and I was impressed to see that they don't just ladle soup into a bowl to serve it, they actually cook and prepare, then dress it to plate it perfectly. Their cream of potato was really good and not the traditionally made where the potato is pureed into the soup - rather they make a creamy soup base and then add potatoes to it. The combo of the soup, a small piece of potato, scallion, and a small piece of bacon really made for a great spoonful in each spoonful I enjoyed!! My coworker got their Asian Chicken Noodle and that looked amazing! He said it was incredible. Next up was the entrée and we both got their lamb gyro.... It's not the traditional gyro, it's an openfaced style, just like their chicken salad toast. It was really good! The tzatziki was great on it! And we also got a side of their cucumber feta salad... this tasted fresh and the feta was vibrant, with the combo of the cucumber and feta together being incredibly tasty. Overall, another very nice visit to a Stockpot restaurant... Looks like I need to try their Chesapeake location to get the trifecta of Stockpot! Highly recommend stopping in!

The restaurant was very clean, and since it wasn't too busy, we were seated right away. The staff was welcoming and friendly. A few minutes after we placed our order, we were informed that they were out of breakfast potatoes, which was surprising since it was still before 10 a.m. This limited some of the breakfast options, so I ended up ordering the Selden Breakfast (a biscuit sandwich), a kid's chicken noodle soup, a biscuit on the side, and a lavender matcha. The sandwich was delicious, especially after adding the garlic aioli. My only complaint was that the biscuit wasn't served warm, and I think warming it would have elevated the sandwich. The biscuit we ordered on the side was also not warm. The lavender flavor in the matcha was enjoyable, but the drink itself missed the mark. The color and matcha flavor seemed off, and it wasn't mixed well--I could see clumps of matcha powder sitting in the ice. On a positive note, my nephew really enjoyed the chicken noodle soup. Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to come back and give it another try.

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.
