Service was fast and friendly. In terms of the smell noted in other reviews - kinda smells like someone's grandma's house back when they didn't have AC - like a little musty and old smelling. Didn't really smell like cigarette smoke as much as just like old cooking oil and like that damp Grandma house smell! Place was clean but everything in it is old and a bit beat up/tired looking. Doesn't affect the taste of the food though which, again, was overall very good. If you are looking for an old school diner this place def hits that hard w friendly service and solid food family fav type of foods. I noticed the waitstaff calling several regulars by name- it is that kinda place.

Just something to keep in mind if you're visiting in the summer. The back patio does not have air conditioning. If you sit by the large front windows, be prepared for the sun. The building faces east, so by late morning the sun is shining directly through those windows. I was sitting with my back to it and was so hot. I probably could have asked them to lower the shade, but it's something to consider when choosing your table. Shana was our server, and she was great. Friendly, attentive, and checked on us regularly. Now for the best part. The sorbet mimosas. We ordered two, one with mango sorbet and one with lemon and raspberry sorbet, and they were incredible. If you come here, these are an absolute must order. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They were good, but they were clearly made from frozen slices rather than fresh-cut tomatoes. I ordered the salmon cakes with eggs and a pancake. Everything was delicious. No complaints at all. The food easily earns 5 stars. The decor has a classic old-school diner vibe with black and white checkered floors and chrome accents, which I really liked. My only real complaint was the bar seating. If you're on the shorter side, the stools are not very comfortable. The seats are not very deep, there is no foot rail to rest your feet on, and since the stools are bolted to the floor, you cannot scoot in to get comfortable. The backs of my legs started going numb, so we moved to a table as soon as one opened up. Ironically, it was the table directly in front of that hot window. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Great food, excellent service, and those sorbet mimosas alone are worth the visit. Just be strategic about where you sit if you're visiting on a warm, sunny day.

Coopers Restaurant provided an exceptional experience for our family's repass for 50+ guests on a…read moreFriday at noon. Initially, I resisted choosing Coopers due to its lack of aesthetic decor and worries about how it would compare to pricier local venues requiring steep deposits. However, turning to Coopers turned out to be the best decision we could have made for a celebration of life repass. The staff accommodated our diverse group seamlessly. Cheri and the servers delivered next-level service, expertly managing a large crowd and handling every drink order with absolute grace. They seated family and friends up on a riser while thoughtfully arranging floor seating for our mature guests in their 80s using walkers and wheelchairs. While the venue's interior is basic, the food was the true highlight for everyone from ages 1 to 100. The Meats: The fried chicken was seasoned to perfection, and the baked chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. The smothered pork chops with onions were so tender they could be cut with a fork, and the hot wings were a massive hit that disappeared quickly. The peel-and-eat shrimp was well-seasoned, and the shrimp fried rice--though a unique spin with plenty of shrimp and vegetables--was just average. The only real miss was the fried fish (Tilapia or Whiting), which had a fishy smell that could be resolved by washing it after defrosting. Pig feet looked tender and well seasoned I was told. The Sides: The candied yams were the undisputed star of the side dishes with just the right amount of sugar and syrup. The mashed potatoes tasted genuinely homemade, and the cabbage was a hit for most with a nice flavor profile. The collard greens, green beans, and macaroni and cheese drew mixed reviews, leaning middle-of-the-road, while the salad bar and cold salads like potato and macaroni salad were solid additions. Vegan/Vegatrian - Salad bar (Please ask question on the other sides) Collard Greens and String Beans may have meat or meat broth. Pescatarian - Peel and eat shrimp and fried fish STANDING OVATION to the cooks in the back they need more recognition of being able to cook for a diverse age and taste buds. Please keep in mind these cooks are cooking for a large diverse crowd some patrons have food restrictions due to medical issues and cannot have highly seasoned and spicy foods. So, the cooks cannot be creative with the seasons like other restaurants or your home. A must try is the Chicken (Fried and Baked), Smothered Pork Chops, Turkey Wings(Sunday), Cabbage and Yams. These are solid staples everyday of the week. Coopers restuarant offered incredible value, avoiding the exorbitant hundreds or thousands of dollars charged by traditional catering halls/restuarants for uncertain headcounts, and ensured we didn't waste food. Most importantly, it gave us a spacious, welcoming environment to fellowship and honor a loved one together. If you need a accommodating venue with great food and reasonable pricing for a large group, seriously consider Coopers restuarant.

The unusual sign, a red and black circle (the colors of anarchism!) and bold lettering drew my attention. The window display of vintage/odd toys kept it and the door collaged with band flyers sealed the deal. It was closed at the time, but I knew I'd be back. A few days latter, I was. The inside was better than expected a "WE HAVE WINE" sign displayed prominently near the drink cooler, swag section. Quotes of the famous adorn the walls, in chalk so they can be changed based on whim (I hope). Gandhi, Toni Morrison, F. Scott-Fitzgerald to name a few. Everything on the walls likely has a story, known only to the initiate. I am but a humble pilgrim, seeking knowledge that is withheld, but the meatloaf sandwich did not disappoint. 10-Top has been a Norfolk/Ghent institution since 2001, the current owners have been in charge since 2011.

We live in the area so it is convenient to stop in; and we do almost every Saturday for breakfast; and sometimes during the week for lunch. Whether you're looking for protein (eggs, meat, etc.) or carbs (pancakes, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy) or some combination thereof you will find all the selection you could want. The portions are generous and the food is very good. If you are looking for lunch or dinner (only open for dinner on Friday) you won't be disappointed either. They have something for everyone. Burgers, cold plates, spaghetti, salads, chicken, daily specials, even fried green tomatoes. Desserts are home made and choices change daily. Yumm. This is a family owned restaurant and the family is from Michigan; which is an immediate plus for me since I grew up in Detroit. The service is very good whether your first visit or when you've become a regular. I enjoy being a "regular"; because it feels more like being a friend than a customer. Hope you get the opportunity to stop in and give it a try. read more

Today we visited and were surprised by the updates and clearly they invested money in decor and layout with the addition of a bar type counter top and seating for a true diner feel. Unfortunately the prices absolutely reflect the cost of the updates they have made. The menu seems to have lost the plot in regard to a true diner. The simple diner items you'd expect like normal pancakes, waffles, etc are almost difficult to find on the menu which is a sea of gimmicky very over priced indulgent items. The menu is essentially a menu a 6 yr old with an extreme sweet tooth would want. I'd say that is the ratio of indulgent items was what there normal items are, then it would have been fine. But there are multiple $20+ items which seems quite steep for a diner which most people are coming for pancakes and waffles usually. Not sure we will be back unfortunately. #lost_the_plot

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

Nothing bad, but also nothing that really stuck with me. It was one of those meals where I finished it and thought, "Yep, that was food." My biggest disappointment was the coffee situation. They don't have any flavored or seasonal coffee lattes, which feels like a missed opportunity for a brunch spot. BUT they do have alcoholic coffee drinks... so apparently my options are either black coffee or coffee with a hangover. Our food also took a while to come out, which wasn't ideal, especially since it wasn't particularly busy when we arrived. I'm not sure if I'll try again.

Eddy's Cafe is located in the Red Mill Commons area of Virginia Beach. This part of the Red Mill…read moreCommons area where the restaurant is located is basically just east of the Walmart Supercenter and can be seen from Upton Drive. The two main roads they are located in between is Nimmo Pkwy and Elson Green Ave. My most recent visit here was on June 6, 2026. With the place being located in a shopping center, parking wasn't an issue, even though it was on a Saturday morning. The outside of the place is simple, but you can see the place easily with the green lettering. When my mom and I came inside, we were able to just find a table and then they would come by in a moment. It was a bit busy, but I was surprised that it took them several minutes to finally come to the table to get the menus and drink orders placed. Once the drinks came to the table, our server asked us if we were ready to order, but we weren't quite yet. I went with water with lemon for a drink while my mom went with Pepsi since they have Pepsi products here. She came back a few minutes later, and we were finally ready to order. I decided to go with the French Toast Breakfast Specialty along with Crispy Bacon, 2 Eggs, and a Biscuit on the side as a la carte items. My mom went with the 2 Eggs & 2 Items Breakfast Special. She did hers with French Toast (1.5 Slices), Crispy Bacon, and two scrambled eggs. It was less than 10 minutes for the food to come out, which was a nice surprise considering how busy they were on this visit. The entrees looked really good and hot when they came out. I don't do the syrups any longer due to the high sugar content, so I just did the French Toast with butter on it, which was good the way it was. The bacon was nice and crispy, along with the scrambled eggs being good too. The biscuit was a great way to finish off the meal. Although the meal did elevate the glucose higher than I thought, it was still good. My mom said the food she had was good too, and there were no issues. Overall, this experience was better than the last time I was here about ten years ago. The service was a little off at first since it took awhile for them to get to the table originally. There was a feeling of being rushed to order, but I guess that's because it is a small space inside with limited seating. One thing to note about that is if you come on a weekend or a holiday, there is a limit of 90 minutes to be there. If you're in the Red Mill Commons area and looking for a breakfast spot, this place is still worth considering.
