Loukaniko with scrambled eggs, home fries, and a biscuit.
Conrad L.

Outstanding neighborhood restaurant with a comfortable feel serving Greek and American dishes. Friendly, efficient service and really satisfying meals make this place a must if you're on Shore Drive in Virginia Beach.

Spinach, tomato, onion, feta omelette... with home-fries and rye toast.
Sharon C.

The food was wonderful, with great portions and quick fabulous service! I had the spinach, tomato, onion and feta omelet. It was a crepe style egg and then stuffed with a nice portion of spinach onion, tomato, and feta cheese. I also ordered extra crispy home-fries with onions and rye toast. Everything was made to perfection and service was pleasant and super fast! I can't wait to come back and try the other delicious looking menu items!

Great food! Cute little diner off Shore Drive - folks were nice. Would recommend but small so you may have to wait a little for a table.

Cornbeef Hash with grilled onions (onions added on)
Fina K.

Umm.. just a big WOW! This place is a treasure! I truly mean that! Set back from the street you easily pass it and takes a little effort to find parking, But folks it's all worth it! The decore is simple when you walk in, but soon as the waitress brings out the food plates my eyes and smile was ear to ear! The Lobster Beni was made perfect and very generous along with the home fries. The Cornbeef Hash was awesome added grilled onions on top. And it's so nice they can make it to order The Stuffed Berry French Toast was so stuffed with FRESH berries and they put even more on the side witj whip cream! I was so glad the owner "Milton" came by to see if everything was good! Cause I just wanted to tell him how fabulous my experience was! So for you foodies find this treasure and give it a try! Definitely will be back plenty of times!

Inside seating.
Lisa O.

To me this is a locals spot. It is an ok size inside. Not a super big place but roomy enough that your not sitting right on top of another group. The wait staff are good. Not overly friendly but like I said a lot of locals go here so if you know them they talk to you more. They are good at taking your order and they get it right every time. Even when you put in special request. We have been a few times now. My bestie loves this place. This is her favorite place to go. I personally think the food is fine. The Classic eggs benedict is ok. Their sauce is not my favorite. I have a couple other places I like better. The omlette is good. House hashbrowns are ok. Bacon could be a little more crisp for my taste. But that is my preference. I do ask for extra crispy and they have done that but the first time I had it was wimpy. So you have to know to ask to make things crispy. I am not use to telling the chef how to cook everything I order. For me this is a solid 3 1/2. Food is a 4 or 4 1/2. Staff are a 3. Parking lot is small but we have not been when it is busy. I would NEVER go on a busy time. Ya know there is always room for improvement . So for now I I will stick with the 3 1/2 With room for improvement

Sweet potato pancakes with corned beef hash

We were camping at First Landing State Park and sought out a hidden little gem of a place for a quick but tasty breakfast. Milton's Cafe fit the bill. My husband had the Western omelet with home fries and rye toast and I had the sweet potato pancakes with corned beef hash. Both dishes were very good and service was great (we sat in the bar area). It's a small establishment with a big menu. Would highly recommend.

Lobster and avocado omelette
Mary-Ann L.

The ambiance is downright homey, cozy, like what a neighborhood cafe should be - the owner sitting at the bar sharing pleasantries with customers. Service was quick and friendly. It wasn't on the menu but my friend got creative and asked if we can get lobster omelette. The waitress even said they can add avocado slices as well! The lobster omelette was delicious, generous chunks of lobster meat, very fresh avocados in the omelette.

Brunch spots are a dime-a-dozen. They can be found in most areas of any town, USA. Finding a good…read moreone though is like finding a diamond in the rough. We were turned on to Rustic Spoon a couple years ago when visiting family in Norfolk. Now, it's a must STOP whenever visiting the area. On our last visit, I realized I've checked in and posted pics but never reviewed. Needless to say, I've been gate keeping this little gem as long as I could. Sadly it's been a known spot for locals for years. Whenever we visit, the food and service has been spot on. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Just yesterday, Isabel was our server. As with previous visits, we were taken care of with personable and friendly service. She was a good sport about some minor issues we kind of made jokes about and went along with them... Food wise, they have a regular menu with some great options as well as some specials they change and rotate seasonally. I've enjoyed the Soft Shell Crab Benedict, Fried Shrimp Benedict, Shrimp and Grits, Short Rib Hash among the various brunch items. I've seen and wanted to try their dinner options but sadly have only visited during brunch hours. They have a main dining area and bar area, patio dining and an upstairs area for dining. All are comfortable and service from the kitchen is prompt. Definitely a worthwhile stop when in the area. Keep on Yelp'n!

The noise level was not crazy and we were greeted by our server shortly after being seated. We had several of the drink options, including some local IPA's and the famous Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager. We ordered some of the burgers that were half-off, being the Wednesday Special, and Steak Bite appetizers among other delicious items. We like Rustic Spoon quite a bit and look forward to a return visit!

The setting right on the Lynnhaven River is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxed but lively. They have a great bar with delicious drinks, and the food is always on point. My favorite dishes are the flatbread and their sushi both are consistently excellent. It's definitely a local favorite, perfectly located right down the water from Chick's Back Deck and Bubba's. Great vibes, great views, great food. Highly recommend The Porch if you're looking for a classic Virginia Beach waterfront experience.

I gave up and went to the bar. No joke. Food was good but holy crap worst service.... Until the end for the burn. When we finally got water we sat with empty glasses... long enough for me to go to the bar and get refilled and still not see her. Even my son went to the bar for a freakn soda. All of a sudden a table of 6 sat next to us for her to attend and we got our plates removed while my husband was still pulling the food off his plate. Dishes weren't fully clean- I'm being told by my husband and son- and apparently a white hair and residual of soy sauce or something so dishwasher step up your game. I dunno man- 6 years ago we came and hated the service and the food was bland. We came today for our anniversary dinner with an attempt for redemption - service continued to suck, bartender was a bad @$$- food was better than last time. Oysters were clean- so maybe next time we will just sit in the bar. My kid said for the gen A - "overall bunions service; good food- vibe chill but What's the deal with all these flies inside !!!??? Bunions. I'm gunna rate this place a 6/7 ‍out of 10 but overall mid- def bunion service

Unfortunately, the food took super long to come out. By the time it reached our table, the mallorca toast, eggs, and sausage were cold. The only thing good were the potatoes, which were somehow crispy. We asked for extra syrup for the pancakes but our request was forgotten. It was just something to put in the belly at the end of the day but not memorable.

We put our name on the list, but they forgot about us and sat people before despite us being on the list. Our food food took over an hour and the order was wrong. Our waiter was AMAZING! So sweet and great suggestion! She noticed the food was wrong but she didn't want our food to get cold, so she still gave it to us. I could tell she was overwhelmed, but every time she spoke to us she smiled and was very pleasant! Overall, the food was good, but not memorable. I think it was overpriced for the taste. I also think service and time waiting for food could use improvement. Their twist on Hispanic food didn't land well. The pastelon eggroll was simply an egg roll with ground beef. They need to spend more energy improving the menu items.
