Server was nice and helpful with picking from the menu. The orders came out correct. The pancakes were a lot bigger than I expected, apparently the biggest in the area. Potato's were seasoned. Sausage wasn't too greasy. The burrito meal was fulfilling too. Had to get some of it to-go. Wish the potatoes inside of the burrito were the same as the seasoned potatoes on the side. They were very thick inside of the burrito and not as flavorful. The pricing was acceptable. Averaged 30pp without tip. I'd go back and try some other things on their menu. Especially looking forward to the cereal flavored x liquor shot creations.

The service was on point, the food came out hot & delicious (I had the Piggly Wiggly omelette w/ grits and an Espresso Martini) and the place was pretty packed! I love to support local businesses and have been here several times in my life (I am born/raised here) so I felt the need to give them a great review!! We were sat on the side of the restaurant, close to the bar and the tv was on the sports channel (yay! Football is back!!). No need to say I will return, as I have many times, but the atmosphere is perfect and you should give them a try!!

My first visit to Citrus was such a pleasant experience, and it instantly became one of those…read moreplaces I knew I'd return to whenever I'm back in the area. From the moment I walked in, I loved the atmosphere. The restaurant had such a bright, fresh, and welcoming energy. I visited on the first day of spring, and honestly, the colorful interior perfectly matched the feeling of the new season. The vibrant décor and overall ambiance made the space feel uplifting, cozy, and full of life without being overwhelming. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered a vegan bowl with vegan sausage, fresh avocado, quinoa, and a stir-fried mix of peppers and onions, and everything was seasoned and prepared perfectly. The ingredients tasted fresh, the bowl was filling without feeling too heavy, and the flavors blended together so well. It's one of those meals you keep thinking about after you leave. I also want to mention the staff because the hospitality truly added to the experience. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the visit feel even more enjoyable. Overall, this was a great first experience, beautiful atmosphere, flavorful food, and excellent service. This is definitely going on my list of go-to restaurants whenever I'm visiting Virginia Beach again. Highly recommend if you enjoy: * Fresh and flavorful food * Vegan-friendly options * Bright, aesthetically pleasing spaces * Relaxed brunch or lunch spots * Restaurants with warm hospitality

We stopped by Citrus for a wonderful outdoor Saturday brunch. We primarily stopped by Citrus…read morebecause it was near our hotel, and the patio is dog-friendly. First, the service was absolutely wonderful. At no point during our meal, did we ever have to wonder the whereabouts of our waitress, which hilarious (BTW). Also, she did a wonderful job explaining the specials and providing recommendations on what to have...and importantly what to drink. The restaurant has a huge variety of breakfast dishes, so I think everyone should be able to find something that they would like. Personally, I went with a seafood omelette (I forget what it was actually called and I'm too lazy to look it up). I was quite pleased to see that the omelette was jammed packed with seafood. Relative to the area, I thought the prices were fair. Since we arrived pretty early on a Saturday, we did not have to wait for a table. Or maybe, we didn't have to wait because we had a reservation. If we stay at the same hotel for our next Va. Beach visit, we definitely will return to Citrus for breakfast/brunch.

The night before I received a confirmation text. I appreciate the old school communication. The parking lot is small. I am disabled and had to park in the lot across the street because there was absolutely no parking available. (The missing 5th star) When we arrived we were immediately seated. The restaurant is quaint. The staff is friendly and welcoming. From the guest in our party: The Fried Flounder was DELICIOUS!! On and off the sandwich. Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The Yardbird sandwich was pretty good as well. The jambalaya on the other hand not so much (the chicken was hard). The fries were delicious as well. After we ate we discovered the outside atmosphere which is right on the water. They had a live band which was amazing. They had jenga, cornhole, gliding dinner tables, a fire pit, an entire other bar. It was a great surprise. My cousin had the best time for her birthday celebration Thank you for being such a great experience.

The quality of food has changed too. And that's a shame. Anytime you have to have a microwave IN THE SITTING AREA to warm your food that JUST came out of the kitchen , that's a red flag, My order was simple--toast no butter. There are NO VEGAN OPTIONS on the menu, so I made do. What I received was toast slathered in butter. Did I eat? No. Am I still hungry? Yes. I had a lemon slice off the edge of my mom's water as my meal. In fairness to our waitress, we were a LARGE group of 14. To compile various meals of that magnitude is not easy. Too many items, however came out incomplete, wrong, cold, and tasteless. The grits--were like white, muddy water. And we had MORE than one order of them. How can you make grits taste like, well NOTHING!? They were tasteless and cold--and even the cheese on the grits did not improve the taste. The side of ham never actually appeared with the rest of the meal. Once my husband ate ALL of his meal, the ham finally arrived. The burger was good though, so in fairness, I should mention the good if I am going to talk about the bad. This will be our last visit. We have been coming here for YEARS, but the lack of quality of food and arrival time of our food to the table is not worth the money we paid. We will not return.

This is a family operated restaurant, but clearly they may need to reach out for additional help, especially if the young lady who served us is their primary waitress. Her demeanor was immature and borderline rude. Maybe it was because we had a large group, but to me that's no excuse. The food came straight out of the kitchen cold, but there was a small microwave on the table next to ours so we had to zap our plates just so the butter could melt on grits!!! We either had to keep reminding the waitress of missing items, or just be content with the wrong thing. I had the classic 2 egg meal with corned beef, Nothing appealing as the corned beef tasted like it was dropped out the can and onto my plate, not a lick of heat was put on it rendering what looked like dog food. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT LIKE MY MOM'S KITCHEN, I've NEVER left out my Mom'skitchen planning to go get something else after paying $30, I actually feel mad !!!!

Nothing fancy, just good, reliable breakfast done right in a country kitchen-style setting. The space is full of rooster memorabilia, which adds a fun, homey vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, giving that genuine Southern hospitality. Service was very quick and the food came out almost immediately. I ordered the loaded hash browns, a short stack of pancakes, and the corned beef hash. The hash browns were made with real shredded potatoes, not those weird cubed ones, which was a big plus. The corned beef hash was the canned style, but it was cooked perfectly with a great crisp on it. No complaints from me. Just know what you're coming for. This isn't a trendy brunch spot with craft cocktails and avocado toast. It's a tried-and-true breakfast joint where you go when you want a classic, satisfying meal.
