FIRST TIMER AS IT JUST POPPED UP FIRST ON YELP WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR LUNCH. LET ME SAY ALL I GOT WAS A SALAD BUT BELIEVE ME I HAD MY EYES ON MULTIPLE THINGS! Upon entering, I was greeted by the staff. I asked for opinions on pescatarian options and the man was very helpful with different options as I thought I was set on what I was getting. He suggested the Arrostito salad && it didn't disappoint. From the perfectly cooked tuna to the roasted veggies AND the generous bombdotcom salad dressing portion (and flavor). Its cute with plenty of space to sit. Good vibes going and good food. I will be a regular! 2ND VISIT: Took my partner and we went overboard but in a good way. It's only been a week but i couldn't resist because all Ive been talking about is that salad. This time I got the salad x partner got the Saint Ana sandwich; I added a side French toast, matcha pistachio latte, chai latte and a cinnamon roll (Will report backback)

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.

Service is prompt, salads are good, parking sometimes can be an issue due to the narrow streets and…read morelimited parking.

The location is convenient with plenty of parking right next to the Hilton Garden Inn, making it easy to find and access. The venue offers nice variety in seating -- you can choose between the well air-conditioned indoor space with attractive decor and high-top tables, or head outside to their spacious outdoor area. There's even a rooftop area that looks promising (though I didn't get to explore it this visit). Inside, you'll find TVs for catching the game and a pretty good bar selection, though it's not quite a full bar. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which really elevated the experience. I tried the Southern Brogue stout and it was excellent -- definitely worth ordering. Fair warning: it does get loud since it's an active brewery, so it's not the place for an intimate quiet conversation. But if you're looking for a lively atmosphere with good beer, friendly service, and flexible seating options, New Realm delivers. Would definitely come back to check out that rooftop!

This was my first time trying it out, and it really hit the spot. For those who don't eat pork and are tired of the usual turkey bacon or sausage alternatives, the beef bacon here is a welcome change. The cinnamon French toast was freaking amazing. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and cinnamon, with a soft center and a slightly crisp edge. The fresh strawberries on top made it even better. The beef bacon was cooked to perfection, flavorful and satisfying without being overly greasy. The cheese eggs were also on point: fluffy, creamy, and seasoned so well that I didn't even need to add salt or pepper, which I usually do. Portion sizes are very generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. The service was great too. Everyone was friendly, and I didn't have to wait long at all for my food. Just keep in mind that seating is extremely limited. It's more of a takeout spot than a dine-in restaurant.

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.

When placing an order now, you will be assisted by a call center representative instead of a restaurant staff member. This transition is unfortunate for a family-owned business. It appears they are shifting towards a more corporate structure, prioritizing profit over the well-being of hard-working Americans. It is disheartening to witness the transformation of the store in this manner. read more

The Pork fried rice brings a smile to my face every time. The only negative thing I have to say is that the eggrolls have changed in the past year or so. They used to be perfect. I would order only egg rolls at times as a snack if I was in the plaza. Honestly, egg rolls are how I define how good a Chinese food place is. A year and a half ago, I would have given Golden Star 5 stars, but the egg rolls have changed. Not sure if they started using a different vendor or what. They used to be flaky and full of fresh goodness that made my heart sing in Chinese. I had no clue what my heart was singing because I don't speak Chinese, but it was lovely. Now, the egg rolls are mushy on the inside and it makes me sad. This is not based on one or two visits. We eat from here at least once per month and the last year has been disappointing when it comes to the egg rolls. The rest of the food is delicious, which is why we keep coming back. But I must admit that if we find a place with better egg rolls, there is no telling what might happen. But if you don't like egg rolls, this place would be 5 stars for you! P.S. Bring back your old egg rolls.

The dinner combo special also comes with an egg roll. For starters, the place is takeout only. So, know that before you get hungry. You wouldn't want to go there thinking you are sitting down to eat and be disappointed. Second, due to staff shortages, sushi is not available. The sign saying that looked pretty old. I'm guessing sushi isn't coming back. The pork fried rice was pretty good. A-/B+. Others complain it is bland, but I think they might have ordered regular fried rice instead of pork. I thought the rice was the right texture, with a little veggies, and the correct amount of pork. Egg roll was okay, not great, but not bad. A little bland, needed some salt. C+. The cheese wonton - crab Rangoon - was a solid B+. Right size, flavorful cheese. It's not crabby, but the word crab isn't in the name. There is a little imitation crab in there, but not a lot. Could maybe us a little green onion? Still, I'm glad I ordered it. The general tso was a solid A-/A. Quality chicken. No gristle or yucky pieces. Perfect flavor profile. Just a little heat. If you want it hotter, make sure you ask. The dinner combo was about 10.75 for egg roll, fried rice, and general Tso chicken. I'm a big guy with a healthy appetite, and I still didn't finish it.
