Instead of too many items on the menu, like many dinners, it's like 4 appetizers and 4 entrees. There are additional daily specials (stuffed figs? At a dinner? This ain't Kansas toto). I had stuff shrimp, mashed potatoes and gravy, collards and a side salad. All were amazing all homemade (I'd even bet on the salad dressing). Only regret was I wasn't hungry enough for the pot roast (fyi- pot roast and the stuffed figs were both daily specials) but the gravy was from that; it was literally my grandmas gravy. I didn't have dessert room either. I'll have to cross the HRBT for this. I Will.

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. Everyone I have met here smiles a lot. They are enthusiastic about the food they serve. Do you want to have a bowl of soup for your side? No problem! Everything is made in house, except the bread but its great. Nothing is the same-same here. Everything you think you know, has been reinvented, reinterpreted, and reimagined in the best ways possible. You will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

Had an amazing meal last night at Legrand here in Norfolk. Place is everything a "foodie" could want its small only seating about 12 people tops and the menu always ever changing based on what they buy for the day. I had pull pork on toast with house made pickles and Alabama white sauce and also not picture "mushrooms on toast". The good: Lots of food for a great price totally left stuffed and happy. The pork was very juicy and had a nice smokey flavor to it. The pickles had a good sweet flavor to balance out the smoke from the pork along with the 'White sauce" which was mayo and horseradish. The mushrooms on toast was nice the chicken confit was nice and tender not overly oily and had good balanced flavor. The mixed mushrooms and kale that topped the bread also had a nice seasoning to them and balanced out the dish well. The bad: The pork itself was awesome, but they added pimento cheese which you don't pick up any of that flavor it gets lost. It added a richness to the dish, but didn't do much to complement other flavors. They also use a lot of butter on the bread almost in excess not to say this is a bad thing, but it can over power the dishes both very quickly. Lastly a little bit more salt would of been helpful. Overall I love this place and will be back many many more times to come! read more

LeGrande Kitchen exceeded all my expectations with their impeccable service, inviting atmosphere, and, most notably, their mouthwatering grilled cabbage dish. As soon as I entered, I was warmly greeted by the staff, who were extremely present and welcoming throughout my entire visit. Their attentiveness added to the already charming atmosphere, creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining environment. Now, onto the star of the show - the grilled cabbage. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! The cabbage was perfectly grilled, imparting a smoky flavor that complemented its natural sweetness. Each bite was a delightful experience, and the accompanying seasonings elevated the dish to another level of culinary excellence. LeGrande Kitchen has undoubtedly won me over with their fantastic food and hospitality. Whether you're a cabbage enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit. You won't be disappointed! read more

This spot in Norfolk is truly a gem--undoubtedly one of the best, and my husband and I absolutely adore it. The staff's warmth and attentiveness elevated the overall dining experience, making it truly unforgettable. You can't go wrong with ordering the butcher steak; it's aged to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and cooked with absolute precision. Now, let's talk about the specials; the bone marrow with duck meat is pure heaven in every bite. The braised short rib is insanely tender, and the lamb bolognese with cheesy polenta is to die for. The scallops are just incredible. Moving on to the burger--it's the best in Norfolk. The jalapeños kick it up a notch, adding a burst of flavor and texture in every bite. For dessert, the cornbread pudding is a must--seriously, don't miss it. Oh, and Patrick's Espresso Martini? The best I've ever had! This place is a culinary haven. read more

We visited this restaurant along with my cousins, as it happens to be their preferred dining spot. I opted for the lamb meatballs, while my partner chose the fish dinner plate. Both dishes turned out to be delightful! The quality of the food, coupled with the attentive and amiable service, certainly warrants a 4-star rating. It's worth noting that the physical space could benefit from some renovation; however, I was informed that they will be moving to a new location in a few weeks. With any luck, the new ambiance will be an improvement. read more

Service and environment were great. The selection of spices and heat levels were great. Food was delicious. My only problem...... the very very small paper plates the boil bags sit on. I know you're eating out of the bag so the plates really don't do much, but maybe a dinner plate or something more sturdy because the bag at point was moving around and the plate was not offering any tractions. Overall though, we had a great time. My family of 6 enjoyed our meals and will be visiting again! read more

When we cut into it, it tasted like it had been in the fridge too long. To add insult to injury, it was still blue inside the middle. I hate to say this but the meat tasted like an old spot buy... absolutely awful. We sent it back. The other meal was rock fish...dried out and unseasoned. Plus it was super small...about 1 inch wide by two inches long. I love rock fish and this was the worst I have ever had. I didn't eat much but we felt bad about sending two dishes back given nobody else was in the restaurant. Honestly, I should have. The overly smoked mushy vegetables were absolutely disgusting. Even after washing my hands several times I could still smell the smoke on my hands, even though I never touched it. It seemed like the chef dropped an entire liquid smoke bottle into the vegetables which tasted like they were canned from 2022. Honestly, I should have known better. Nobody was in the restaurant when the Hilton down the street and other restaurants nearby were packed. When we sat down the table was sticky. We sent the dead sirloin back and still spent over 125 dollars and left hungry. Sorry for the awful review...but this was a terrible experience.

The waiter took my plate away, explaining that someone wanted to see it. After that, there was a long delay. By that point, I was more than ready to leave.

There was no apology, no manager came to speak with me, no acknowledgment of the concern, and no adjustment was made to my bill. Later after returning home, I experienced diarrhea, which only added to my concern about the undercooked shrimp. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but how a restaurant responds when a customer raises a legitimate food-safety concern matters. I expected much better communication, concern, and customer service than what I received.

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.

The restaurant has a cool retro 1970s vibe with vintage colors, an old cigarette machine, and Bewitched playing on the TV, which made for a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was a little inconsistent. We arrived with a party of four but were seated at a table with only three chairs. When we pointed it out, the host didn't seem to realize the problem at first, which was an odd start to the meal. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. She let us know they were out of the home fries and another menu item before we ordered, which wasn't a big issue. However, it took close to 40 minutes for our food to arrive. My son ordered a burger that was advertised with fried mac and cheese on top, but when it came out, the mac and cheese was missing. Only after we asked were we told they had run out. It would have been helpful to know that before we ordered. The server apologized and offered to make something else, but it would have taken another 30 minutes, so we decided to keep the burger as it was. She ended up removing it from the bill entirely, which we appreciated. We also tipped her based on the original total because she handled the situation well. The food was good. I enjoyed my grilled chicken sandwich with pear, Brie, and honey, and my husband liked his French dip. That said, we felt the prices were on the high side for the overall experience, especially considering the long wait, unavailable menu items, and other service issues. Overall, MOD Olive has a fun concept and an interesting menu, but the restaurant could have been cleaner, communication could have been better, and the value didn't quite match the price. We'd be willing to give it another try in the future, but we're hoping for a more polished experience next time.

I chased the pancake with a hazelnut iced latte, the expreso shot in the latte was strong and lingered which made the coffee taste even better .I would recommend, the wait was worth it!

So this is an updated review 2 years after my 5 star review…read more We haven't visited in roughly 9-12 months I'd guess. 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

That said, I was predisposed to not be a fan. The space was the long time home of Frankie's Seafood, which I dearly loved. Frankie's was one of the first "old school" seafood spots to fall prey to an aging patron base. The eatery was now different, with the ambience of a beach bar rather than the old booths and tables to which I was accustomed. I'm certain that there are those who appreciate another hangout spot in the center of Chic's Beach. It's just not for me.
