The Egg Bistro is a popular brunch spot & has several locations. I went to the Chesapeake location. The Chesapeake location is pretty small, but they do their best to get people in & out. I don't believe there are reservations but you can put yourself on the wait list when you arrive and you'll receive a text once ready. It took 20 minutes for me to get seated (2 people). It then took 40 minutes before our food arrived. I built my own omelette, with hash brown and french toast. The omelet was good however I felt like it needed more cheese. I think they only put cheese on top of the omelet and that slice was in the middle. As a result, the middle tasted the best. The end pieces definitely needed cheese. I also ordered the steak & eggs with home fries. The steak was cooked perfectly. For those wanting to attend The Egg Bistro, just plan accordingly. Since this is a popular spot and small building, the wait can be long. If you're okay with that, you'll be fine. The food and customer service was fresh and delicious. I also enjoy that they have a rewards program where you can get points per visit. read more

The food here is always on point and they give you so much. I was able to sit at the bar today with my husband and watching the cooks and bartenders was an amazing experience while waiting for our food. They all work their butts off and always has a smiling face and friendly to all customers. Please tip them well! Our favorite dishes are the infused pancakes with banana, corned beef and the Philly Philly omelet. My daughter loves the chocolate chip pancake. We always have leftovers for the next morning. Love that we can come on a busy weekend time and give them our phone # so they can text us once our table is ready. read more

the food here is always amazing and David was a great waiter! the Pancakes were huge and so were the rest of the portion sizes. The mimosas are the best in town! read more

The mimosas were the way we started and they were fantastic. I don't think you could go wrong with any flavor you choose. Then on to churro donuts for breakfast. They were fantastic! The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The service was quick and friendly. I bet the locals love this place. read more

Always great service but the food could use some extra flavor/love from the back! So much on the menu to choose from though, maybe I need to explore a little more and find the hidden gems! read more

I came here for brunch on a weekday and it was busy busy! A friend recommended us coming here and I thought it being busy was a great sign! We were sat within 15 minutes of arrival. Our server was very sweet. I ordered the almond joy alcoholic coffee and it was so good! We also ordered blueberry limón shots and those were really good too! We shared the gingerbread pancake and it was delicious. I also ordered the Cuban shrimp bowl which turned out bangin. 10/10 experience and food. We're always looking for good brunch spots and this one is definitely at the top of the list! Highly recommend read more

Not gonna lie. This place definitely has the sauce. The aesthetics were pretty good and definitely trendy. I did like how the hostess made sure to find out who was next in line to be sat. Our waitress was definitely spot on and helpful. The food portion sizes will not leave you wanting to more this I assure you. I had the Monte Cristo and the pancakes, and they absolutely slapped. Definitely give this place a go if you want an upbeat brunch experience. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for awhile now but the wait time is always 1hr+ and we are always too hungry to wait until... one rainy Sunday for breakfast we lucked out and there was no wait! It was seat yourself at the time which was odd because it was busy and we didn't know what tables would be open. A lot of the open ones we past had not been bused yet. We finally found a seat in the back against the wall. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We ordered two coffees and waters while we went over their massive menu. We settled on, for me: the gravy biscuit breakfast (had a different name) came with two eggs any style and a side, I chose the home fries. Hubby ordered the regular French toast (again not the actual name) and it also came with eggs, side and his had an additional meat selection. Once our food came it all looked promising. Big portions. The eggs were cooked perfectly on both our orders and hubby said he loved the bacon. However, the gravy tasted like it was out of an instant powder mix with scarcely any sausage to label it a sausage gravy and the biscuits it was paired with were super hard. My home fries were burnt and hubby said he could make better french toast at home. We were super disappointed in the end. We had high hopes for this place. It's getting 3 stars because of the great service and the perfectly cooked eggs. Other than that it was a 1 or 2 star at best. read more

The Bistro has upped their to-go game with checklists to accompany the orders. The last 2 orders we've placed have been perfect and the hubby and I have returned to dining in at least once a week, if not more. Hopefully soon, they'll be able to open the bar here like their sister locations! Our last couple of times dining in, service with Madison & Abby has been prompt and friendly. We are most often in around 7am when they open - the coffee is hot and waiting for us and ticket times are somewhere from 5-10 minutes on the weekdays. It's impressive! I've always been overwhelmed by and super impressed with their portion sizes. Hubs and I could probably split one meal (even an early bird meal) and be happy! We each end up taking, at most, half of the order home. The early bird prices until 8 are unbeatable. My forever go-to for breakfast and brunch... love this place! read more

I read other reviews about trying to get on a waitlist beforehand but I found it futile. We show up and were told 1 hour. It was roughly 45 minutes. I scanned the QR code on the table and wanted to order a latte as my drink, but the waitress seemed confused and informed me that they don't do that. Funny, the menu has it listed? Anyway, I went with steak and eggs, while my husband got the chicken and biscuits. Both were just okay. The steak was very thin, so my medium-well steak was well-done. The cubed potatoes and hash browns were good though. I tried my husbands hash browns as he added cheese and onions, and it was the star of the dish. The eggs weren't good though. My husband was pretty upset that they aren't offering cronuts at this time either. He didn't love his second choice dish. His chicken was very dry and chewy, I myself was not impressed. The gravy for his biscuits was decent enough. My brother got chicken and waffles and he mentioned the same thing about his chicken being chewy. His girlfriend got chocolate chip waffles and she was very happy with her order. I don't think we'd come back but it was nice to try something different. All and all, the waitress was good, food was quick, and their busser was really helpful with removing unwanted plates/dishes. read more

Came here with the family on a Sunday. There was a wait, but not too bad 15-20 minutes. They took down our number and we waited in our car for a text to let us know the table was ready. Once seated, service was excellent and the various orders were all delicious. Only suggestion was the scrambled eggs could have been cooked longer. Nice decor and not too loud to have conversations among each other. We will definitely be back!! read more

I stopped by here on a Saturday morning hoping to miss the busy time, it was like 9am and I think we barely made it before the rush. We were seated quickly at a table kind of in the ease way and i almost elbowed a few folks coming/going. Their latte is decent, but it's about the size of a mug of coffee. I rather have gotten a refillable cup of coffee since I need more caffeine in the morning. The bloody Mary was awesome and came out quickly! My mom got a Mediterranean omelette, she liked it but said she wasn't keen on the cubed hash browns. She thought they were going to be chunks of potatoes on the grill top, not little square fries. I made my own omelette and it was awesome!! I recommend this to get all the goodies you want. The turkey sausage was a weird and lumpy shape versus other meats, but it was good!! The omelettes here are a wrap style with the ingredients folded in nicely. They save a tad of filling to "label" them on top, it's a clever way to differentiate. I like that the grits were plain and not the kind which leave shell kernels in my gums. Food came out in decent time and waitress was cheerful. They have two unisex bathrooms which were clean and stocked when I visited them. Parking is hit or miss as to whether you come at a peak time. read more

There are so many great restaurants in VB, Norfolk, and Chesapeake. The Egg Bistro is not one of them. Came in today for breakfast and it was fairly empty. Our server spent time talking to her friends before acknowledging our table. We asked if a dish could be made without pork due to dietary restrictions, and she responded, "no." There was no offer for other dishes or suggestions, just a flat out "no." It was obvious that our server was having a bad day from the start and did not want to be working. We waited a long time for our food, which was quickly dropped off by another server. The food was dropped on the table with no chance to ask for napkins or condiments. We had to leave our table twice for things that would normally be offered in any dining situation. Our server NEVER came to our table to ask how the food was. The hash browns I received were rock hard and clearly were old and had been refried multiple times. Disgusting and inedible. The eggs were not cooked medium and were runny, but the grossest part was biting into multiple shells. I would have loved to order something else just so I didn't have to sit for over an hour without food, but our server never came to our table once. She had three tables including ours and spent the entire time with a table of younger guys. When she came to drop off the check, I explained the situation. No apology or offer to make the situation better. She came back with a small discount applied to the check but the full price of the meal remained. What blew us away was that the tip options started at 20% and went up to 27%! So you pay far more than any other breakfast place for disgusting old food and are expected to pay a minimum of a 20% tip no matter how bad the service is. I am blown away with how bad this experience was. read more

The service was fantastic! Meagan (or Megan?) was our server. Very kind and attentive. The food wasn't as good as we expected with all the reviews. But it wasn't bad at all. The service is what made the experience more than anything. With how much traffic and volume this place gets, I could see an upgrade in food quality and ambiance. Overall I think it's worth trying out. Just wasn't exactly what we expected. read more

I have reviewed this restaurant once before but our breakfast this morning warranted another review! It is Fall season right now and if you're like me and love pumpkin goodies this breakfast is for you!!!! They had two fall specials pumpkin pancakes and a sweet potato hash bowl. I had the pancakes and my husband had the hash. I believe they were both $12.99 each. We brought our 3 babes and had to get sides of scrambled eggs. As always the service was superb and the food was absolutely delicious! Take a peek at my photos and you can see the awesomeness!!! The pancakes were probably the best I've ever had and I've tried them everywhere! Go and give it it a try and thank me later read more

It's been a couple of years since I last visited but this was once the spot. The food was always well-prepared and delicious. I have eaten many brunches here. But today was very disappointing. I should have sent my meal back, but really don't like having to do that. I did not get my order as requested and it was not tasteful. I got sick on the way home so I think that's it for me. The service was also lacking. read more

Awesome food and service . Awesome space and great vibe. Staff very attentive and quickly gets out orders

I recently visited a friend in Chesapeake and was delighted to breakfast at The Egg Bistro! I chose Eggs Benedict with bacon instead of Canadian bacon, and boy, was I happily surprised. This change was a very good idea and the saltiness of the bacon helped balance the mildness of the grits served with my Eggs Benedict. In fact, it was just what I needed to get my day of sight-seeing going and it kept me full until lunchtime. The price was good too and I was surprised to see my friend, who normally eschews dining out, really enjoyed his meal of eggs, potatoes, turkey sausage links, and a biscuit. He's very picky and couldn't believe how good the turkey sausage tasted. When I return to town, which I generally do a couple of times a year, we will be visiting your establishment again. I can't wait. read more

Every time I head up from ENC to visit my bestie in Chesapeake we always have The Egg Bistro early Sunday morning. This trip was no different. As always I snagged the delectable Banana Nut Bread French toast with eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese and potatoes with onions/peppers, but switched it up with sausage links instead of bacon. As always the French toast was light and not heavy at all, with perfect fresh bananas and sauces you just want to roll around in because it's sooooo good. The mimosa flight was all great too!! Definitely will be back next visit to VA!! read more

Alright y'all..... this is BY FAR our favorite place to eat in the state of Virginia. Every single visit has been exceptional. The food is great but the service..... is beyond reproach. Callie was our server this time and when I say we had such a great visit, it really was. I normally do not update reviews to add another five stars but I cannot speak highly enough. Callie, thank you for making me and my daughter weekend even better than it already was. I really wish I could meet the owner because let me tell you, very few restaurants have this many amazing people. Please give a shout out to Callie... raise, promotion, lol... definitely a bonus. However, THANK YOU and I wish all of Egg Bistro such a Happy Thanksgiving. read more

Ok if you come on a weekend be prepped to wait. Is the wait worth it. Well you get a great meal for the money and excellent service. Our waitress today was personable, laughed at my horrible jokes and was extremely efficient. All in all the wait is worth it The way they do the wait is to take your phone number and text you when ready. We have been there several times and each time they under promise and over deliver. Today told us the wait was thirty minutes. We were seated within twenty. All great stuff Food is regular breakfast with a slight flair. My steak and eggs was a real decent steak. Usually get the tough piece of meat. Again under promise and over deliver. Easy five stars. Why the crowd. read more

One of the only brunch spots I visit in Chesapeake. The wait (despite how long it sounds) is never really too long. The servers I've encountered have always been pleasant and knowledgeable. My only drawback is the mimosas are a little too pricey for what you get. Maybe I'm spoiled by my favorite Brunch spot (I'm used to paying $2.50) but I just can't find the value in buying more than one mimosa, especially when it comes LOADED with ice. Outside of that, the food is always great, I tend to lean toward the omelets which have never failed me. read more

Solid place. Very popular. Their marbled rye toast is really good. They said they get it from Baker's Crust. I've been here a few times. The last time I just wanted a basic omelet with toast and a side of sausage or bacon. The only disappointment was that the omelet was not at all a fluffy kind of omelet. My guess is it's ready made egg that they pour on a skillet, add the cheese and other items and fold it. It's not whipped up it appears. So it was a thin and rubbery omelet. So other food is good but I wouldn't come here expecting a nice fluffy omelet. read more

First time here, wow. Long lines outside surely tell the story of this restaurant and why it's the restaurant to go to! Nice ambience , cute vibrant decor. Staff greets you with smiles and compliments (what a way to jumpstart your weekend!). Came alone but don't feel lonely! Simone served, very friendly. Their menu reads like a book, lots of variety. Love that they have breakfast bowls and of course the healthy choices! I ordered the avocado toast but boy, it's not just your average avocado toast. They have the the avocado toast but loads of stuff on the toast like sprouts, carrots, tomatoes - really fresh. And the toasts come with hard boiled eggs ( yes two of them) on a bed of arugula ... should I say more? Definitely the place to go.. Oh and with me sitting at the bar I have a clear view of how the kitchen staff just churn out all these orders so quickly, no wonder no one minds the wait...! And they wear chin nets for health compliance , how cool is that? Recommend you try this place. Will be coming back to try their hundreds other choices! read more

This Egg Bistro location is in Chesapeake and I met my family here while my dad was in town for breakfast last weekend. At 9:45 there was a short wait and people sitting inside but it wasn't too bad and we waited for about 10-15 minutes for a party of 5 to be sat. The menu is large and in-charge. Tons and tons of items to please pretty much everyone. Standard breakfast items and then some good savories like bowls, wraps, benedicts, pancakes, waffles, and much more. Our tables spanned the gamut in terms of choice but my dad chose the Dig In Breakfast bowl which was basically all the usual things you love, in a bowl, eggs, peppers, onions, sausage, a biscuit and potatoes. My cousin got the avocado toast and it was a huge portion in terms of size, with about 4 slices of toast with avocado and sprouts and an egg on the side. I chose the oatmeal breakfast which was a giant bowl of oatmeal with some mix-ins on the side (think cinnamon, bananas, brown sugar, honey) and a warm toasted sliced bagel with peanut butter. It was a giant bowl. No way I could've eaten it all. But very good. Our waitress was busy but very friendly, prompt, and capable. She took good care of us while she was very obviously busy as can be. Brought me black teas to choose from, creamer when asked, and checked on us just enough that we weren't left needing refills or anything else. Great experience. This is a good spot for breakfast with friends and family. Plenty of parking in the strip lot and easy to find with GPS. read more
