    50/50 burger

    My avocado eggs Benedict had soggy English muffins and also the avocado was basically a thin spread, not fresh avocados. Hubby got a Reuben and fries. I did it again, I forgot to ask for unsalted fries. Our server brought me a steaming hot separate bowl of tots without any extra charge. There is a bar in back but the dining area was clean.

    The ambiance is ok, may need a little more to make it feel a bit more special. The food and service makes up for the ambiance having a dull feeling. I had the carnitas omelet and it was delish. My friend had the avocado sandwich and it was also excellent. As apps we had the Brussels and they were good just a bit in the too much vinaigrette and needed some salt for me. The tomatoes were so yummy and don't like tomatoes. The drinks were all great!!! The manager or owner was so attentive, totally will return

    I finally tried Rustic Spoon & on a night when there wasn't a large crowd! Food was yummy & the service was great! Looking forward to going again to try more of their menu!

    Plenty of parking Great service staff are attentive and friendly Ordered studded french toast, coffee, & a la carte bacon. The French toast was fluffy and sweet and filled with an amazing merengue with fruit on top. It was so sweet and delicious. The bacon was crispy and firm. Coffee was hot and smooth. A great meal altogether, a wonderful brunch experience - will definitely return!

    Me and my girls got together for a turned up brunch!! We had a reservation and got seated with no issues. Our waitress was friendly and she was attentive to our needs. It was almost a full house, so I'm glad my friend made the reservation. We ordered the berry compote biscuits with cream cheese lemon glaze, the rockfish benedict, calamari, risotto balls, carnitas hash, and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese never came, so I just took that as a sign that I didn't need it. Lol. The rockfish was fried well, alone it was bland, but as a whole dish with everything else it was good. You get a grilled green tomato with it, but I feel fried would have been better. But I enjoyed it. The calamari was delicious, the Thai chili sauce was popping popping!! My favorite!! The berry biscuits were good also. They forgot the lemon glaze at first, but quickly fixed it. The risotto balls were good but the sauce that came with it was bland and didn't go well with them. We enjoyed our meals for the most part. I like the Rustic spoon and will certainly return... Ask about their specials!! Check them out!!

    My friends and I met up for brunch at The Rustic Spoon on Sunday. The place was pretty packed but thankfully, we made reservations and were able to be seated right away. Our server greeted us and was very friendly. She brought over waters and informed us of the brunch specials menu. After looking everything over, I decided to order the Fried Calamari and the Carnitas Hash, along with a Summer Berry Mimosa. Our food came out fairly quickly and I started by sampling a few things my friends ordered. The Berry Patch Biscuits were definitely on the sweeter side thanks to the berry compote and lemon cream cheese icing, but they were absolutely amazing. The Risotto Bites, on the other hand, were pretty flavorless and underwhelming. The Fried Calamari was fried perfectly and delicious as always. The Carnitas Hash tasted okay, but the potatoes were very hard and overcooked, which was disappointing. Overall, we had a decent time at brunch. A few hits and a few misses, but the atmosphere was lively, and service was good. I'd be open to coming back to try some other dishes.

    Stopped by Rustic Spoon for a late lunch/early dinner on a busy Sunday, and I'm so glad I made a reservation. The parking lot was packed, the waitlist was long, but we walked right in and were seated at a great booth--no wait at all. Highly recommend reserving ahead if you're planning to visit, especially on the weekend. I wasn't super hungry, so I kept it light and ordered the homemade biscuits (which I'd heard a lot about) and the fried risotto balls. I also couldn't resist trying the Hot Honey Peach Margarita--and that was the true standout of the meal. That margarita? Five stars. Sweet, spicy, and dangerously good. I'm still thinking about it and honestly want to recreate it at home. The biscuits were warm, fluffy, and delicious--the butter had a unique flavor I almost identified as bacon grease? Not bad, just unexpected. The risotto balls were okay, but the sauce tasted like straight canned tomato paste--thick, bland, and not my favorite. The service was amazing. Our waitress was super friendly, helpful with suggestions, and checked in with us often. You could tell she really cared about making sure we had a great experience. Would I go back? Definitely. Would I order the same food? Maybe not. But for that cocktail, the vibe, and the great service? Absolutely.

    Carnitas Omelet
    Molly H.

    I liked the decor and ambiance of this spot and their menu is pretty big so there's something for everyone. We ordered the Japanese style pancakes (they take 25 min to make) which were tasty - very light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness but I'm not in a rush to get them again. I got the carnitas omelet which was also tasty but was deceiving because they stuffed it with some of the breakfast potatoes so it made it look bigger and fuller than it actually was. The meat was nice and tender though. Negatives - my breakfast potatoes were insanely salty though - I only had a few and I didn't care for the red pepper flakes they put on top of my omelet. Also we were debating what to order for my 22 month old and ordered a couple of sides, not realizing they had a kids menu. We were surprised our server didn't point that out. Overall I liked it but would probably order something different next time.

    I've been here several times, and the food is excellent. We made it for happy hour and visited on a Wednesday, and they had a special on burgers. The smash burger, fries, and drinks were fantastic. Service is top notch!

    Mushroom Toast
    Melissa M.

    This was my first time at this location as we typically go to their other location, the service, food and ambiance was on par with their original location. Food was very delicious, it's honestly really hard to pick one thing when I come here because everything is delicious. Their scotch egg is a must for us, funny I do have a picture because we were so excited to dig in that I forgot to take a picture of it. We also enjoyed their risotto bites, which were a perfect appetizer, salty, savory, creamy, acidic, and with a great texture. Their corn chowder is addictive, it's so good. Their mushroom toast is a delicious fresh dish. We also enjoyed their special which was a cornbread French toast with strawberries and cream - best dish of our visit!

They've made some updates since my last review. I noticed they swapped out the bar stools for what seem to be a bit more accommodating in style. They added cushion to the church benches, although they are a bit "grippy". They updated the other bar and also the outside area. I believe they have a cornhole section and from what I could tell, an area that could be really fun during the warmer months. The overall vibe is so quirky, cool, different, and I just love how it's decorated. The other locations have the same sort of intrigue but in much different ways. I still love the OG Bay Local and probably need to visit there again to be reminded of why we fell in love in the first place, but the location on General Booth... hard to beat, especially being so close. Another positive is the food quantity, quality, and price for what you are getting. Sure, almost every food establishment had to raise their price, but Bay Local seem to be very reasonable, ESPECIALLY for what you get. I know several other places that have good food, but you are paying several dollars more for what Bay Local offers that is similar (in some cases) but not slacking on portion control and quality. That is huge! Bay Local is a "well-oiled machine" with management, staff, and operations (not their first rodeo). The staff are attentive, friendly, fast in service, including fixing anything that may not have been correct, and still hold the quality of what they offer. Congrats to a great establishment, and it will remain on the top slots of our brunch list!

Although we sat outside (because we were dining with a dog), we never had to wait too long for the waitress to check on us. Every 5-10 minutes, she dropped by to make sure things were going well and to refill our coffee. Since The Egg Bistro has a HUGE breakfast menu, I'm sure everyone should be able to find something that they will/might enjoy. For my dining pleasure, I tried something new and went with the Bennie & the Grits. This dish piqued my interest because I never heard of grits cakes in the four decades of living on this planet. For about 20 bucks, the dish included three fried grit cakes with ground sausage, grilled shrimp, more sausage, two poached eggs and a side. Although the serving size was HUGE, I was not a bit fan of the dish. Note, I didn't think the dish was prepared badly, I just didn't get the concept of the fried grits (this from a grits lover); however, everything else with the dish was pretty good. If you are a Bloody Mary lover, you might some interesting varieties of Bloody Marys here. Additionally, I really appreciated that The Egg Bistro ranks the Bloody Marys based on spice level. Overall, I definitely would not mind visiting this location during a future trip to Va Beach. The only (very) minor issue that I had was that the outdoor seating is right next to the parking lot so you might experience some exhaust fumes/smoke while eating if you chose to dine outside. Again, this would not have been a (very) minor issue if we were not dining with a dog.

Service was friendly, welcoming, and impressively fast from start to finish. The water was also crisp and refreshing, and I appreciated that they were generous with the lemon slices. The menu leans heavily toward fried foods, but I was glad to see several grilled seafood options available as well. The grilled flounder and the grilled shrimp and scallops were the standout dishes for me. Super fresh and well prepared as they were all super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The scallops in particular were incredibly tender, fresh tasting, and completely free of any sandy texture. The seafood honestly did not need help from any sauces because the flavor and texture stood well on their own. That is why I found the condiment situation a little puzzling. Each plate came with a large serving of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter sauce, while the grilled tuna additionally came with a pink sauce that reminded me of sriracha mayo, Thousand Island dressing, or yum yum sauce. I personally only used a little of the lemon butter on my broccoli but nothing else. We took the rest home so not to waste it but largely still found them unnecessarily. While the seafood should have been the star of the show, the condiments ended up being a much larger serving size than the seafood was. Rather than automatically serving several large cups of sauce, it might make more sense to simply ask guests which sauces they would like to have. There were six shrimp, though they were fairly small, and only two scallops. Given how exceptional the scallops were, I would have happily traded some of the extra sauces for a few more of them. The portions for the grilled tuna and burger however appeared much larger than the grilled shrimp and scallops entrée or grilled flounder. The sides however were much more generous. The broccoli was perfectly steamed and paired nicely with the lemon butter sauce. The hush puppies came automatically with every meal. While I would personally prefer having a healthier alternative available, my brother enjoyed them and described them as crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a genuine corn flavor and just the right amount of salt. Overall, these were very enjoyable meals; the service was excellent, the outdoor seating was pleasant, the seafood was fresh and skillfully prepared, and the sides were generous. One thing to keep in mind is that if you order the grilled flounder or shrimp and scallops as a lunch meal it may not be enough food to keep you full.

The rest of the staff seemed like all they wanted to do was hurry up and get out there. We got there about an hour before closing time, and they were already cleaning up. For example, the cheese sauce was no longer in the warmer. It was in a container next to the warmer. So it was very clumpy. There was ketchup, mustard, and mayo on the counters. There were no cups for us to put condiments in. Based on the presentation of the store, I would not return. However , I will be going back because the burger was that good!!!! So yes, please give this place a try but definitely go during earlier hours. I would have given it 5 stars if the counters were clean and I had everything I needed.
