    When we immediately walked in we were greeted by staff. To me that's important regardless if you have a wait or not. Once we got seated only took a few moments for our waitress to come over. We asked questions about items and she was very knowledgeable answering them. Food was splendid and wjll def return in the future.

    Always a good place to grab a bite whether it's breakfast or lunch. Portions are large and service is fast. There is usually plenty of seating unless you go on the weekends, then you may have a wait. Place is open and airy and a mix of tables and booths. Have a four star for today's visit because our waitress rushed me to make a decision on my order rather than coming back in a few minutes.

    We love Pops Diner and get their breakfast on a regular basis. I haven't really tried their lunch food yet so I can only speak for the breakfast. Absolutely delicious. Everything seems like it's cooked with love and the recipes were put together by a mastermind. I highly recommend that you check out Pops Diner.

    I've been looking forward to coming to Pops Diner for a few months. Finally, I fitted into my calendar decided to go to have a birthday breakfast before going to enjoy a spa day!! Being I was by myself, I sat at the counter. It took a minute for me to be greeted at the counter. I ended up being greeted by the hostess, because she realized that no one had came over after that it was smooth sailing. The restaurant wasn't too busy. There was one other person at the counter, and a few tables were filled. it was a Friday during a work week so I guess I wouldn't expect it to be too busy. I have been wanting to try the bananas, foster French toast I also ordered bacon and the home fries that apparently everybody loves and recommends. The French toast was very good perfectly grilled the bananas foster sauce was really tasty. The crispy or crunchy pecans was the icing on the cake. I was not impressed with the home fries. It reminded me of like mashed potatoes that had been fried. They were very mushy inconsistency and didn't have too much flavor. Not to mention I thought they were a little overpriced for potatoes. I did notice that the person that was sitting at the end of the counter was there before I got there, and her food was already sitting there. Not much of her food had been eaten and not once did anybody go over and speak to her or check on her at all . She did end up leaving. I don't know what transpired but I just know that the whole time I was there she was not checked on via waitress at all and I was checked on at least 3 to 4 times. Maybe it's none of my business, but it's something that I noticed when I'm in a restaurant. Funny thing is I ran into another birthday twin wearing a princess crown while eating my breakfast so I decided to treat my birthday twin to her breakfast. She was a young girl I would say she probably was turning five or six happy birthday to my birthday twin don't know your name, but I hope you enjoyed your day. I definitely would go back because it is a cute little restaurant. I would probably not order the potatoes again because those were not as good.

    I had high expectations because I was told how great this place was. They are OKay. It is small and they only have one bathroom. For so many people in this one restaurant they need several bathrooms. Staff are friendly and service was quick enough for the volume of people inside. This is a busy place. We got the waffles, and they were good. We also got the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders have to much breading. They were not very good. I will not be ordering the tenders again. The fries were OK. My friend liked them more than I did. I am all about great fries so when they are just ahhh. We maybe trying them again and hoping we can pop up those stars

    My new must go to spot when visiting VA beach. Beat the touristy crowds & overpriced foods & come here instead. Staff is super friendly, portions are HUGE, affordable. The food is all very very good I wanted to come back the next day I love that they allowed me to sub out my breakfast meat for grits which were super tasty

    I stopped in for lunch and was immediately impressed by the cleanliness, modern decor, and peaceful atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the food arrived quickly. I enjoyed everything I ordered. I ordered the BLT and with the She Crab Soup. I will definitely return for breakfast or brunch the next time I'm in Virginia Beach in the early hours.

    Hungry for breakfast one Sunday morning before hula and decided to stop at Pop's Diner. So happy that I did. I normally go to the Northampton Blvd location, but was happy that I stopped in. Service was just as friendly as the Northampton location. As you can see from the picture the over easy eggs were perfect. Thank you Pop's for another wonderful experience.

    Banana Nut Waffle

    We had dined here a long time ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the banana nut waffle since. Your typical diner but with great flavor! We ordered the banana nut waffle (fluffy, flavorful) and the bananas foster French toast (the sauce makes the meal) and we're both really happy. It's only a 10 minute drive from the beach and a great pit stop on your way back home. 10/10 recommend.

    Food: was really good I had the chicken fried steak skillet the hangover . The sweet onion kinda throws off the savory taste but very good. Service: Moises was very nice and on point this morning. The staff was very friendly. This location definitely got and upgrade . Very nice and clean . Definitely worth coming back .

    Sausage Breakfast, eggs over easy

    Pop's Diner is a solid neighborhood diner. There isn't generally a wait at this location but the place is always filled up during weekends. This is a great spot for family, friends and diverse groups. Menu is adequate for most diets, (vegetarian and vegan with request and modifications.) Service is fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean and sanitized thoroughly. Award winning waffles and burgers. Multi-flavored mimosas, coffee and juices offered. Breakfast is served up hot and everything taste decent.

    The hangover special.

    I think that I might have found my new brunch spot in the area! As some might know, brunch probably is my favorite meal because you get the best of both worlds (breakfast and lunch) with alcoholic beverages. Pop's reminds me of a non-chain version of Denny's BUT with WAAAAAAY better food. For my dining pleasure, I went with the Hangover Cure (I think that's what it was called) which was a breakfast bowl with eggs, home fries, sausage (or was it bacon) smoother with gravy. Even if you do not have a hangover, this dish will definitely make you feel better about yourself (unless you are on a diet). Yum Yum Yum. Our service was pretty top notch so there are no complaints. Fortunately for our visit, we did not have much of a wait but I can see this place being quite packed on weekends. From my POV, the prices are pretty fair and in line with what you would spend at similar establishments. I cannot wait to try some of Pop's yummy breakfast/brunch items.

    The Brick House Diner is located in the Providence Square Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. This…read moreshopping center is accessible from both Providence Rd. and Kempsville Rd. 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.

I was sitting in the parking lot of a large chain breakfast pulled up Yelp to see what I might be missing. Glad wasn't lazy...15 mins later I was in the parking lot for 185! If you haven't been to 185 on Little Florida Road in Poquoson, you are seriously missing out. This charming, family-owned neighborhood gem is everything a great local restaurant should be and then some. The moment I walked through the door, I felt it. You're not just a customer here; you're a guest. The welcome was immediate and genuine and set the tone for the whole experience before I even sat down. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries, and wow, it delivered. I was surprised the blackberry chipotle sauce worked BERY WELL! The brisket was tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Paired with perfectly seasoned sweet potato fries, it was the kind of meal that sticks with you long after you leave. This isn't reheated, thrown-together food, you can taste the love and craft in every bite. It was like Woman Power this morning with all ladies from front to back. Their whole vibe was awesome from the front of the house to the back. I have to give a very special shoutout to my waitress, Tiffany... she was absolutely AWESOME. Attentive, personable, and full of good energy, she made the whole experience even better. The kind of server who makes you feel like you're dining with a friend. Looks like 185 was ranked #87 on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in 2023, and after my visit, I completely understand why. The owners obviously had a beautiful vision and it is being executed incredibly...to my benefit today! Five stars, without question. When I am back in the area....I'll be back, and I'm bringing my wife will tell everyone I know.
