    Chicken and waffles
    Cindi W.

    Decided to come here for brunch after church. While it was busy, the wait for a table. This was my first time here, I loved the different options they had. I decided on the crap dipper sandwich with grits, and my husband got the chicken & waffles. I got my eggs over medium & added spinach to my sandwich. The Crossiant was fresh & I enjoyed the she crab that came with the sandwich. My husband ate the chicken tenders, he didn't really care for the waffle. I think this is a nice and simple spot for breakfast or lunch.

    Great service and tasty food! That is all I ask for and no doubt Pops Diner delivered in both categories. Shrimp and Grits had some of the creamiest Cajun cheese grits I have eaten in a long time. Fair prices all the way around and not a single complaint

    This was my husband's and I first time going to a Pops Diner Co. We absolutely loved this location. Leslie was our server and she was an absolute blast. She was relatable and didn't feel like a generic cookie cutter server. You can tell she made her guests feel comfortable and she was super proud of the place she worked at. I wish I took more photos but the mural in the building was amazing and the whole vibe felt super cosy (the booth seats could use a bit more cushioning lol). I ordered the Peach Crush and the Pops Smashburger. The Peach Crush was their special of the day and it was delicious. I could taste the alcohol but it was pleasant. The smashburger was to die for; however, I wish it included more of the honey chipotle sauce. Overall, we will be coming back to Pops Diner Co because both the service and food were amazing and there is more we'd like to try!

    Shrimp and grits

    Every time my husband and I visit Virginia Beach this is the one place we have to go to before leaving or our trip isn't complete. The staff is always welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere is just right. The food is epic!!! We love the skillets, it's everything!!!!

    When I went to Pops Dinner it was 2:30 pm and they closed at 3:00pm. I was welcomed in and was not rushed. The music was just right. The waitress was very friendly and made sure I was fine. I ordered the crab soup and Pops's Smashburger with fries. The crab soup was thick, tasty, and crab in every spoonful. The Smashburger was hot and juicy and enough for two meals. The bacon bits added a nice crunch to the burger. I will be back for breakfast.

Our server was very nice and helpful she checked on us regularly to make sure we were good. The restaurant was nice and spacious. All our food tasted so so good and fresh. Will definitely be back.

    Sliced Turkey Breast Sandwich
    Monica G.

    I love pops diner! It's so delicious! I always have great service here. Their fries are literally my favorite, I would be satisfied with them alone. I had a bacon double cheeseburger and my husband had a turkey breast sandwich both were delicious and absolutely no complaints! The restaurant always gives a cozy comfy vibe. This place is worth the drive each time!

    16 adults and 3 kids.....we were a lot.

    I was here on a busy Sunday morning. Plenty of parking. I was part of a huge group and we had the whole back section with 3 tables.....2 four tops and a larger table that could seat around16-20. We had separate checks amongst the couples so we were a lot. The service was great and our server ( I didn't get her name) was wonderful!!! She truly handled everything with a smile. This is a good solid place to go for breakfast or lunch - especially with kids. But it wasn't my favorite. I didn't love my chicken salad - I found it a bit dry and not a lot of flavor. I only ate 1/2 and took 1/2 home and doctored it up a bit. I didn't hear any complaints really from anyone but honestly we were there to catch up with old friends. They were very patient with us and I know they probably needed our tables. I would probably go back if someone chose the restaurant. It just wasn't my favorite.

    Biscuits & Gravy breakfast
    Mickiela M.

    The food was so good, came for breakfast. Ordered biscuits and gravy breakfast meal. The biscuits were so moist, fluffy and good. The staff from the moment you walk in through out dining experience is so friendly. And can't believe KIDS EAT FREE every day! Place is also really clean. Happy & attentive staff. Great experience. Ready to come back for dinner. Really like the music they play as well.

We always choose the Greenbrier location in Chesapeake since there's ample parking available, and the service is very good. Tonight I tried a new salad, the Lemon Basil Harvest Blend, and I appreciated our server, Jackeline M for asking if I preferred the dressing on the side. Yes, please! I'm so glad she asked! This mixed greens salad has some star ingredients that caught my eye: charred artichokes, green olives, and grilled balsamic chicken. Yum. I'll be ordering this salad again. My bestie ordered her favorite bc combo with Tomato Soup and the Wine Country salad. She says that soup and salad combo never disappoints. She finished it! But, we always save room to share a trusty bc favorite dessert: the Wimbledon (strawberries with whipped cream crepes). Although it's no longer on the menu, the Greenbrier location always whips it up for us when we ask. It's an oldie, and a goodie! We enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Baker's Crust and find that our dinner catch ups over their delicious food and dessert are always long overdue. I boxed half of my salad to take home and Jackeline was kind in bringing me extra salad dressing to go. Very thoughtful. We'll be back soon!

Jennifer was our waitress and her service was absolutely spectacular. I was celebrating with my sister and ordered the closest thing to steak and eggs... which just happed to be the Steak & Hash.! I asked for the potatoes to be super crispy, eggs scrambled soft and a medium rare steak. Jennifer advised that I cannot order the steak to the temp of my choosing because, this dish does not come with a whole steak. This dish comes with cut up steak pieces. She requested for them to be cooked light. This dish also doesn't come with eggs. I ordered it on the side. Overall this dish was very pleasing to the eye but my darn potatoes were COLD... I was breaking all the rules and ordered carbs after my intense workout just to be heavily disappointed with cold taters lol... the fish looks amazing but this goes to show you that looks can be deceiving. The eggs were cooked to perfection.. not just anyone can scramble eggs soft. So the kitchen does get a point or two for that. The steak pieces are very small and thin my sliced.. not much flavor but at least they weren't chewy. Overall I did not eat my dish. I just packed up the entire plate and enjoyed two glasses of champagne with grapefruit juice. My guest ordered a dish called the chicken chimichangas or chickichangas. I believe and she devoured it!!! I didn't get a picked but it looked like a chicken omelet with hollandaise on top and some fresh fruit! Overall I am eating this place a 3 only because my service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and had ample parking.. the bathroom was clean and I just happened to be in great company. Side note. They do not sell regular size bottles of champagne. Here. You can order champagne or mimosa and they sell small individual bottles of Barefoot Prosecco I believe.

We started with the fried cheese, which I can only describe as pure, unadulterated bliss. It's less of an appetizer and more of a spiritual experience. If you're looking for a sign to forget your diet, this is it--crispy, gooey, and likely the reason I'll be doing extra cardio until 2027. Then came the "33" pizza. I'm not entirely sure what the "33" stands for--maybe the number of minutes I spent in a silent trance while eating it? Whatever it is, it was incredible. Even the cheeseburger "slapped," according to my son, which in teenager-speak means it's better than anything I've ever cooked at home. (I'm not offended; I've had the burger, he's right.) The real kicker, though? The service. It legitimately rivals Chick-fil-A. I was half-expecting our server to hit me with a "My pleasure" and follow us home to make sure we tucked the leftovers in safely. It's rare to find a spot that handles a crowd with that kind of efficiency and genuine politeness.

My mom and I were both in the area as she wanted to go to the Michael's store here. When we came inside, it wasn't busy, as it was around 3:30 pm when we got here. We were greeted by the one who would be our server for this visit. He gave us menus to look at and asked us for our drink orders. I generally stick with water with lemon, which I did here. We were there during the time where it was still the lunch menu (though for us, it was more like dinner for us that day). When he came back with the drinks, he asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't just yet. He also asked if we had any questions about the menu and options and gave us more time to mull over the menu. When he came back, we weren't completely ready, but asked a question about the specials of the day. After that, we knew what we would get and placed our food order. My mom ordered the Meatloaf Lunch Special with mashed potatoes and spinach. I went with the Meatball Sub Lunch Special with mashed potatoes, though I don't normally do potatoes that often. After about ten minutes or so, the food came to the table. The food looked really good, and it was hot too. The bread for the Meatball Sub was very soft and easy to eat. The meatballs were huge and made for a worthy meal. The mashed potatoes with gravy was really good and fulfilling too. My mom loved the meatloaf, and their meatloaf doesn't have ketchup on it like some other places do. She loved the meatloaf, spinach, and mashed potatoes too. After we were done, he asked if we wanted any desserts. We both declined as I normally don't do them anymore. Overall, we both had an excellent experience here. The food and service were on point. The food I had that day did spike my blood sugars, but I expected that with bread and mashed potatoes. I don't make a habit of that though. They are a great local business. There are lots of food options to choose from. If you are looking for a place to eat while in this part of Chesapeake, this place is worth coming to.

I have had a few visits here now, and the most recent visit was on January 12, 2026. At the beginning of each new year, I like to try a place that I have never been to before, so January 1, 2026, was the first time I had come here. My mom was with me. Depending on when you come in general, parking can be limited at times with all the other businesses in this shopping center. Upon first look at the place from the outside, you can see the name and logo pretty easily. It looks similar to other places that happen to be in this same shopping center. We got here around 8 am on that first visit. When we came inside, it wasn't too busy yet, likely due to others probably still sleeping after being up past midnight for the new year. The inside of the place has a modern diner type of vibe, which fits the restaurant well. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Brooke came over pretty quickly and asked us what we would like to drink. I just do my usual of water with lemon, and my mom had gotten coffee. It would take us a little while to choose since there lots of good items to choose from. When she came back to check again, we were ready this time. I figured I'd get something I don't normally do, so I went for the French Toast Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon, and baked apples. My mom decided to go with the Ultimate Skillet with rye toast. The food would come out pretty quick. It was around ten minutes or so. Both breakfast entrees looked really good and they were hot. It felt like an indulgence when I started on the French toast since it has been a long time since having it. The baked apples were great too, and something else I don't normally have. I will note that I didn't get a blood sugar spike after this meal either that day. My mom enjoyed the Ultimate Skillet as much as I did with the French Toast Combo. After the experience from that first visit, we came back to try the lunch/dinner menu options for dinner that day. This visit was on January 12, 2026. After being seated initially, we moved over to a table since the booths were a bit tight. Kellie was our server on this visit. She asked us what we wanted to have to drink, and I went with water with lemon and my mom went with a coke. After taking some time to look over the menu, we were ready to order. My mom decided not to have too much, so she just went with the Loaded Baked Potato side item. I decided to try the Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with the homemade chips as the side. Just like the last time, it took about ten minutes or so for the food to come out. The sandwich I had was really good, and so were the homemade chips. This time, this meal did spike my blood sugar levels, but it was so good. My mom told me afterwards that the loaded baked potato she had come out cold. It was then that we let the server know, and she asked if she wanted to get it redone. She said no but wanted to take it home instead. The server did take off the cost of that item. It was likely due to it sitting before my sandwich was ready to bring them out together. Mom did get a box to bring it home and had it later that evening, and she said it was good when it was heated up at home too. Overall, we have had a few very good experiences here. The food and service were good, and the issue for my mom was handled well too. That shows they truly care about the experience of the visitors here. Both menus may be just two sides, but there is quite a bit to choose from. I think anyone would find something they would like here. There is one thing I want to note when it comes to paying. There is a 3% surcharge added to the total including taxes if you use a credit card instead of cash. In the end, if you are looking for a diner type of place, this one is worth checking out.
