    Crab Cake Benedict & Sausage Gravy Biscuit, Corn beef hash
    Konnie L.

    Great breakfast, nice vibe, and Rebecca was incredibly kind and attentive. Monday morning no crowd.

    The Egg Bistro has an excellent menu for everyone! This time I got the chicken n biscuit stack. It was phenomenal! The chicken was extra crispy, the biscuit fluffy. I love their gravy recipe. And you get to pick how you want the egg on it. I got a sunny side up egg and it was perfect. Staff is amazing. Place is always full of this awesome energy. I loved my breakfast at The Egg Bistro. They always have delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere!

    Brisket Benny
    Jared H.

    Headed out to Egg Bistro, my favorite breakfast spots in Chesapeake. Parking was a breeze on a Sunday morning as they are the only business open in the shopping center. The Staff was Awesome as always and they have a new seasonal menu for winter. I opted to go with the seasonal menu and ordered the Brisket benny; a version of eggs benedict on toasted baguette, topped with brisket slices, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, BBQ sauce, and fried onion straws. I elected to sub my hashbrowns for home fries and DANG glad I did. It was so much food I had to take some home to enjoy later. I will definitely have to get this again!

    My Wife and I had lunch recently at The Egg Bistro located just off Kempsville Road, near Greenbrier Parkway in the heart of Chesapeake. The staff is always friendly and helpful with menu questions and suggestions if you're on the fence about what to order. I highly recommend this wonderful eatery!

    Smoked Brisket Benedict

    Great quick diner service, with amazing food and rotating specials. The Smoked Brisket benedict was one of their specials and was tasty. The toasted baguette was a little tricky to cut cleanly, so a bit messy, but still delicious. The spicy bloody Mary was perfect. The Country Ham was good, perfectly salted. Will be back here many times in the future.

    Chicken salad wrap and potato salad

    I really enjoy this restaurant. I really like their chicken wraps over their breakfast . This is the chicken salad wrap which was very delicious. It also had a very good portion size. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very kind. I will be going back!!

    2up 2down french toast
    Katelyn W.

    LOVEDDD the food here. It was so good! The 2up 2down french toast was amazing, especially with some Cholula on top if you like sweet and spicy. Our server was sweet and did a great job given how busy it was on a Sunday. We only had to wait a little for a table but definitely worth it.

    This was very underwhelming. The biscuit was overcooked and had browns were salty. The only reason I finished it all is because my cousin paid for it and I didn't want to waste her money.

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Girlie M.

    First time here based on reviews and the yelpers came through! Came on a Thursday and the place was already filled with hungry customers. The fried green tomatoes were the highlight--especially with that orange sauce tying it all together. Portions were just right, the ambiance was laid back, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Bonus points for the seasonal apple cider mimosa--so good!

    Carnitas burrito
    Deborah W.

    I usually get the shrimp and grits Santos. Today I tried the Carne Asada burrito, which was also excellent

    Cuban Shrimp Bowl
    Grace P.

    We are so glad this little gem is near our home! Their menu is super extensive, and also comes with some lighter fare, healthier options. I love that they offer dressed greens (arugula salad with a super good lemon balsamic dressing) as a breakfast side, so you have a low carb alternative when ordering in the morning. This time we had the Alpine, which was a featured/seasonal entree: ham/cheese croissant that came with the greens and red pepper Gouda soup. The sandwich was tasty and the soup was super cheesy, almost too much, as each spoonful had to be dragged out pretty far to "cut the cheese"! See you next time, Egg Bistro!

    Iced Caramel Latte
    Diane H.

    The Egg Bistro was so busy!!! The food was great! The service was fair considering how busy they were. It is extremely loud in there. You definitely get what you pay for in the way of the portion size of the meal. I totally recommend making a reservation if they take them. I'm curious and look forward to trying the other locations.

    After work, some coworkers and I decided to check out The Egg Bistro. The atmosphere was lively and busy, but our server's high spirits and amazing suggestions made the experience even better. The food was overall delicious, though our group wasn't too impressed with the house potatoes--nothing major, just something to swap out next time. On the bright side, the bartenders nailed it with the specialty mimosas, and I enjoyed trying a few beer samples. The space is a bit small and limited, but the energy and service made up for it. I'll definitely be back, especially for the Mimosa Flight--it's a must-try!

    Do they take reservations?

    Not that I am aware of. They change things all the time though but since I've been going they don't.

    Is breakfast served all day here?

    Yes

    Is this a good place for dates?

    Yes, great place for dates, especially in the evening and they have a wine night during the week also. Just make sure you arrive early because they tend to have a long line at times! Enjoy and you can thank me later ?

So, I was hopeful that the WXYZ lounge and bar in Chesapeake would be similar and provide a great atmosphere to get together for a fun, chill hangout with our friends. We were not disappointed. There was ample seating and a large table where we were able to share a meal and play board games. The lounge has games in the lobby area, which we weren't expecting, but was nice to see. We had brought our own games. My friend ordered a mocktail and enjoyed it. The four of us ordered chicken buffalo dip and fish and chips to share. I couldn't eat the chicken buffalo dip because I have a dairy allergy, but everyone said it was good. I did really enjoy the fish and chips. The fries were hot, thick, and well seasoned. The cod was very tasty as well, the skin was perfectly crispy but the meat was tender inside. While we didn't take pictures of the menu this time, I took a look at the menu online and there are some options listed on the website that were not printed on the physical menus we saw, but for what was the same the prices matched. The fish and chips isn't on the website but was on the physical menu and was affordable (two pieces or cod and ample fries). Our server (also the bartender) was nice and provided good service. The hours that they're open make it a great hangout spot for Friday nights and weekends. The restrooms are clean. The noise level was moderate and fine. We definitely recommend for hanging out with friends and will be coming back in the future.

It's in the same group of buildings such as Michael's (around the corner). My visit here was on October 27, 2025. The outside view of the business is simple, but effective. They have a specials chalkboard next to the entrance. Parking wasn't an issue on this visit, but I'm sure it can fill up at busier times. 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.

We started the night with drinks: I went for a cold Modelo, while my friends both ordered margaritas, and wouldn't stop raving about how good they were! For appetizers, we shared the Union Trio! Fire roasted tomato salsa, creamy guacamole, and queso served with crisp tortilla chips. All three were fresh and delicious, a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I mixed things up with a taco trio! Carne Asada (marinated steak, onion, queso fresco, avocado, cilantro), Chicken Tinga (marinated chicken, refried black beans, avocado, greens, queso fresco, cilantro) and Blackened Mahi (mezcal pickled onion, red cabbage, red pepper pico, chipotle sauce, cilantro). The blackened mahi was my hands down favorite. It was super flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My friends tried some awesome dishes too! One had the Coconut Curry Mahi (blackened mahi, jasmine rice, edamame succotash, with a rich coconut curry cream sauce) and the other had the Duck Confit Taco (with cherry salsa, pickled carrot salad, and cilantro-lime creme). Our waitress was phenomenal and definitely suggested great choices.

Server wasn't very attentive and also forgot some of our items we had asked for, multiple times, so it took multiple attempts to try and get their attention and get what we needed. Pretty disappointing service, especially with the restaurant being empty. To drink, I got a Margarita (10/10) it was strong and had good flavor. To eat, I decided to try T2 (8/10) it came with corn, potatoes, a lobster tail, shrimp, mussels, and sausage. I enjoyed the flavor and everything was cooked well, there was just little to no sauce in the bag though. I like to have a good, decent amount of sauce to dip my seafood in while eating, but there wasn't much even in the bag. With the service being slow already, I didn't want to sit and have a long wait for extra sauce, so I didn't ask for any extra. My overall rate of experience : 6/10
