Ok I just had a flashback to my childhood and Sunday Mornings at Grandma's house. I had fried…read moreflounder, scrambled eggs and grits for breakfast today!!!! That combination only happened in my childhood so needless to say Pancakes and Things brought back some happy comforting memories today!!!! Then they started showing out and served me a homemade panda seared biscuit with Syrup!!!! What you talking about, I can't eat birthing else for two days because of this meal!!!!! It was so good I may or may not have been humming a tune and swinging my legs while I ate!!! I will definitely be back!!! The customers all looked like regulars, a couple of them made suggestions while we ordered and gave us their suggestions!!!! This is my kinda place it was "home." I will be back and bringing my family when they come to visit!!!!

Sometimes you just want a traditional breakfast from a family owned diner. Pancakes N Things is…read moreperfect for that! The interior is simple, but the staff are super friendly and happy to be there. The menu is huge and includes all the breakfast classics you could want plus some extras. They also serve lunch items and have a kids menu. I went with a classic Greek omelet with home fries and a biscuit. The omelet was cooked perfectly and I loved the feta cheese chunks. I can be picky about home fries, but these were great- crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a little bit of flavor. The biscuit was probably the best thing on the plate. Again, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and great flavor. This is the place to go for breakfast!

So full disclosure I have eaten their food at least 2 other times during the year since I first…read morefound this gem and both times it was take out. Needless to say the food was so good, pics proved to have zero chance. Sooo after a rough week, a Saturday late morning breakfast was calling for a much needed downtime to sit and enjoy... and well here we go: Some say happiness in a bottle, I say Happiness in a glass! Their iced praline mocha is soooo good! The right balance of mocha and coffee, not overly sweet but enough to give you a pick me up while enjoying their amazing food! Next time must try their lavender latte or pistachio... but gotta get it before 5/31 as it's available for a limited time! Definitely recommend the brekki bowl with cheese grits and fried chicken! You will not be disappointed. Cheese grits like "buhhhttah" without the oily and maybe the calories?! But honestly, so flavorful and creamy without the guilty feeling for having something that tastes so good. The veggies are fresh and perfectly cooked to give you great texture contrast. And let me tell you about their fried chicken!! Chefs kiss! Moist, flavorful lightly breaded chicken fried to perfection that had a slight kick for this girl. In full disclosure black pepper is spicy for me so take that with a grain of salt. And for those of you like me that believe there is never too much salt and add salt to your salt but need to cut that bad habit... this whole dish is the perfect amount of salt. I literally never had to add just a little more. The goat cheese crumbles gave each bite the little extra tah-dah pop that might have been otherwise gotten had you like me added a few more shakes of salt to the dish. Seriously though, if you are watching to slowly cut back on having to add salt to your food, this dish is for you! The service was great and everyone was friendly and hustling! This place is the best for a quick sit down or a group brunch. I saw a table of like 10 menly bros enjoying a huge selection of food, drinks, and catching up. Really awesome to see that as the next few tables were a mix of families with and without kids, in laws, aunts and uncles just coming together for amazing food, great and accurate service, and overall fantastic experience ina random Saturday morning!

Can't wait to go back and try other items!

The stars aligned today. My wife had the day off from work, and I didn't have any critical meetings…read moreto attend, so we were able to enjoy lunch together. We decided to stay close to home and headed over to The Egg Bistro, conveniently located just across the street from us. It's actually within walking distance, but not today--not in this oppressive heat! We love coming here because the food is consistently excellent, the staff is always friendly, and every visit is a great experience. My wife ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap with a side of onion rings, and she thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The onion rings arrived piping hot with just the right amount of seasoning, perfectly crisp and absolutely delicious. The Chicken Salad Wrap was fresh, flavorful, and every bit as satisfying. I ordered my favorite sandwich on the menu: a BLT with scrambled egg and Pepper Jack cheese on sourdough bread. It comes loaded with a generous portion of perfectly crispy bacon, which is always a treat. The lettuce and tomato were garden fresh, and every ingredient came together beautifully. I enjoyed every single bite of this incredible sandwich. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch, be sure to check out one of the several Egg Bistro locations in the area. You'll be glad you did, and you'll also be supporting one of our outstanding local restaurants.

First of all can I just say WOW!…read more We were excited at the first because we thought the Neat Bird from Chesapeake had a new location in Norfolk Colley Avenue but there chicken sandwich was even delicious here too with a different owner! We met the owner, he is a cool band guy with a mustache name Dand. The drinks he made for us were so good and so was the way he talked with his staff and the way they worked together. My parner and I had seen that they pride themselfes on Scottish eggs, which we were lucky to try and it was also very delicious! We like that they have the vibe and also a board with many events of the community on the wall to check out while you sip on a delicious expresso martini. Good job to the Bird! now dont go opening another restaurant in Chesapeake or we will all be very confused!

Had brunch at The Bird on a Monday morning a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing. The ambiance…read moreis cozy and homey, with a few tables outside, some high-top tables inside, bar seating, three half-booth tables, and even a couch area. You order at the register, and the staff brings the food out to your table. Everyone was attentive, and we had no issues with the service. We ordered the waffle plate, which came topped with fruit alongside eggs and their house sausage. We also tried the Huevos Rancheros, the Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich, and a build-your-own omelette. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar cold brew, dulce de leche cold brew, drip coffee, and an espresso martini. The waffle was huge, and the sides were great. My only complaint was that it could have used more fruit, as there were only a few small pieces. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious and came with a generous serving of avocado. The only thing that caught us off guard was the lack of salsa, since in traditional Huevos Rancheros the salsa is a key component. Even so, the dish was still flavorful and filling. The omelette was excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was equally delicious. I was especially impressed by the house-made jam, house-made hot sauce, and the perfectly seasoned home fries. As for the drinks, the brown sugar cold brew was excellent, but the dulce de leche version was far too sweet for my taste. From what I understood, they use two flavored syrups to make it, and I think using smaller portions of each would create a better balance. We ended up adding oat milk and some drip coffee to tone it down. The drip coffee itself was solid and came with free refills. The espresso martini really tied brunch together for me -- strong, well-made, and delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and the experience, and we'll definitely be back.

I recommend the Benedict because it fills you up more. The has is delicious though. My husband always gets the carnitas omelette and he says it's the best omelette he's ever had. Drinks: You can never go wrong with their crushes. Their key lime crush tastes like a key lime pie. Service: Always good. The one time our food came out late was when the kitchen lost our ticket. Our server apologized profusely and even said our next round of drinks were on her Ambiance: Very laid back atmosphere. They have a patio if you want outdoor seating

Here's the breakdown of today's line up: Bob's Biscuit and Gravy: First of all, the portions? Massive. The biscuit is incredibly fluffy, and that savory, rich gravy is pure comfort food heaven. It's a classic done flawlessly. Chicken and Waffles: The perfect sweet and savory synergy. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired with those golden waffles? Unmatched. Traditional Eggs Benedict: A textbook masterpiece. Perfect poached eggs with that gorgeous yolk pop, sitting on a toasted English muffin with a silky, rich hollandaise. 10/10 across the board. The vibes were immaculate, the food is incredible, and the service is always on point. Which one are you diving into first? Let me know!

She offered me some really nice suggestions, offered prompt service, and kept my coffee hot! I tried their breakfast chimichanga which is a very interesting and unique breakfast entrée. And since they offered sausage gravy, I ordered a side biscuit with a small side of sausage gravy, as I enjoy trying this when it's on a menu. The food came out rather quickly and looked amazing! The sausage gravy was very nice, the biscuit was great. The chimichanga was excellent and HUGE!! I liked the crema on top of it, but I really liked their selection of hot sauces, with their house-made "gator sauce" being my favorite. I definitely enjoyed this visit and would definitely return!

We were in town and a friend recommended the Kobros coffee so we went to Toast. I'm glad we did…read more It's a cute place with an outdoor space with benches and lots of plant life. The place inside is very cute and reminds me of a nice punk pop bar. The bar wraps around and there's some tables and a side table that we sat at to eat. I ordered one of their specialty coffees and it is quite the journey but I enjoyed it with the ginger beer and the coffee. My quiche was fluffy and delicious. It jiggled when I tapped it and the side salad tasted great with dill in it and it brightened up things. The combination of both was great. The crust on the quiche was nice as well. My spouse enjoyed their sandwich but didn't realize there was mustard so he ended up just using the chips to eat his egg and sausage. His egg was also fluffy. The patrons that came seemed friendly and you can tell who are locals since they greeted by name often. I love that this place is open. They also have local wine you can purchase. Next time we're back in town, we will visit again.

I had the midnight cowboy and wouldn't order it again. It's a turkey sandwich topped with pulled chicken, but the chicken was inedible and got taken off.
