Came to the Rustic Spoon to try the "cloud" pancake, only to realize they stopped serving it on the weekends , but that didn't stop us from having a good time. The signature scotch egg was one of the best I've ever had. The meat outside was cooked to the perfection with the egg inside still soft and yolk semi-runny. Soft shell crab was freshly in season, batter outside seasoned just right. See video for how tasty inside of the soft shell crab looks. We also ordered the meaty omelette and the stuffed French Toast, and was fortunate to have Ryan went over the ingredients of the stuffed French toast with us, made every bite a tasting trace The simple rustic interior decor create a very cozy and inviting atmosphere . Service was great from wait staff to bar tenders. Highly recommend! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsZQkH-gN2S/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsYx0pcgENB/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsXKQ6igLUF/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

Was recommended by a friend to try this place and they did not disappoint for the most part. The only dish that was a little disappointing was the Spoon Stack. Everything else was good. I really liked the French Toast bites. Our waitress was very kind and gave us ample attention although she seemed pretty busy with the amount of other customers she was attending to. The atmosphere was also nice and relatively clean. I liked the theme they went with matching the name well. May go back in the future but for now I'd give this place a 4.5 read more

So yummy! We got the calamari for an appetizer, and I got the scallop risotto for an entree Calamari was delicious and paired with truly some of the best dipping sauces I have ever had Scallop risotto was good, not overwhelming but a solid choice! 4 stars because the service was...weird. It seemed as though other servers were more attentive to our table than our actual server. They were great about clearing the table, but was hard to get another drink Overall I would recommend!

Rustic Spoon Pleasure House Road We love the food at Rustic Spoon. One of my lunch groups met at the Pleasure House location of the Rustic Spoon. We ate Pancakes to Crab Cakes and Meatloaf to a Monte Cristo Sandwich. Everything was nicely plated & very tasty. Service was wonderful too. The Stuffed French toast is also yummy and a site to see. Great atmosphere and wonderful food and service. read more

Cute trendy atmosphere. We were sat upstairs at a high top table. Scotch eggs were the best part of our meal. Avocado toast was second, it was topped with cherry tomatoes, balsamic glaze and pickled radishes (nice touch). Would have been nice to add an egg or something. It alone was not enough to call it a meal. Chicken was pretty good the waffles were ok. As was the kids pancake. I really would have liked to rate this higher but I felt overall the dishes were overpriced and service was a little slow. But wouldn't mind going back for drinks and scotch eggs. read more

Quaint restaurant with very friendly service. We absolutely loved that they had a variety of mimosas to offer. The more mimosas available means the better the brunch experience. They offer mimosa flights so that you can sample a bit of each flavor. Absolutely everyone in this restaurant was friendly from the bar to the owner...all absolutely amazing. Everything here is made to order so you will wait a few minutes. The food is worth the wait! Pancakes are fluffy and tender. The coffee is hot fresh and strong. The scotch eggs are phenomenal... Yolks perfectly cooked simply divine. The kiddos demolished their pancakes and asked to come back with their mouths full. One of our favorite brunch spots for sure. There is ample free parking here BUT this place is popular so there is a steady flow of traffic in and out. Happy Eating Yeeps!!! read more

The Rustic Spoon is located on Pleasure House Rd, not too far from the intersection with Great Neck Rd. They are located in the Thoroughgood Commons Shopping area. It is at the end closest to Pleasure House Rd. with outdoor seating available as well. My visit here was on January 20, 2023. This was my first time coming to this place. This area is in the northern part of Virginia Beach, which I rarely come up to. I am usually in the southern area of the city. There were a few reasons I came up to this location to try it out. The first was because they are opening a new location soon that is much closer to me in the Red Mill Commons area. The other is because they are part of the 2023 Virginia Beach Restaurant Week. When coming up to the place, you can see that it's a small shopping center type of area. They are at the end closest to Pleasure House Rd., so it was easy to get to. The outside of the area there looks normal for most places I have been to when it comes to restaurants. Once you come inside, there is a host stand there. You can see both parts of the bar area, as well as the fact that they have seating on a second level and outdoors as well. The inside of the place definitely has a rustic modern feel to it. There are some televisions over by the two bar areas. Restrooms are located at the right back side of the place. We were immediately greeted coming in, and it wasn't too busy at the time since it was at an off peak time. It would start to get busier though by the time we were done with our experience on this visit. It took a few moments for our server to come to the table, but I did notice overall they were low on staff at the time, so I wasn't totally surprised. Logan made it over to our table as our server and asked us if we wanted something to drink. After he brought the drinks over, he asked if we had any questions on the menu, which we didn't as we had checked out the menu even before coming in. Since it was during 2023 Virginia Beach Restaurant Week, we planned to order off that menu. For the appetizer, I went with the Firecracker Shrimp and Fried Shrimp as the entrée (no tartar sauce). My mom went with the Corn Chowder for the appetizer and Rustic Meatloaf as the entrée. We would order the dessert portion later after having the main course. After a few minutes of ordering the appetizers and entrées, the appetizers came out to the table. The Firecracker Shrimp looked really good. They were also very hot, so I had to wait a few moments to partake. Once I indulged on them, they were really good, and had a great kick to them too. The flavors fit well with it too. My mom noted that she liked the corn chowder as well and had a great flavor to it. A few minutes after we finished our appetizers, the main courses came to the table. The Fried Shrimp looked really good, along with the Rustic Meatloaf my mom ordered. The shrimp were hot, so I let it cool down first before eating. Once it was time, the fried shrimp were really good and flavorful. It was nice too that the shrimp were not overly covered in the batter. The fries that came with it were good, along with the coleslaw. I was worried at first the coleslaw may have been too vinegary, but it wasn't. My mom noted that the meatloaf was good and was a much larger portion than expected, so some of that came home for another meal. Our server got my mom a box for the meatloaf, and then asked us what we decided for our desserts. I went with the Peanut Butter Pie and my mom went with the Crème Brûlée. A few moments later, our desserts came to the table. The Peanut Butter Pie was really good. It had great flavor and if I could lick the plate clean, I probably would have done that. My mom really liked the Crème Brûlée that she had as well. Overall, this was an excellent experience here. I was so glad to come here with the help of the 2023 Restaurant Week. I may not be back at this location too often due to distance, but I will definitely frequent the upcoming new location that will be much closer to me. The food and service were phenomenal here. If you're looking for a nice casual local place, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Food was outstanding. I had the shrimp and scallop fettuccine. More shrimp than scallops but portion size was perfect. The sauce was amazing. Pumpkin praline bread pudding for desert was divine!!! Great service. Good over all experience. Unfortunately there was a birthday party going on and they were loud. Since the restaurant is pretty open with vaulted ceilings the acoustics made it uncomfortable sitting in the lower part of the restaurant. Happy hour drinks were reasonable but were a bit heavy on the ice. Roving service people made it very easy to have dishes removed very promptly and drinks refilled. We will definitely go back. read more

Wonderful experience through and through! A bit weary visiting on Valentine's Day weekend for brunch, especially since they open at 8am. Arriving at 930 with a party of 5 and we were immediately seated + it was not packed until more people started coming around 11 when we left. If there's one thing you need to know; the double sorbet mimosa is indeed a double. Great mimosa that lasted me just fine through the entire meal. Started off with the biscuits which were great with and without the seasonal jam. The menu choices are a bit limited and I am a bit picky, so I ended up with the veggie omelet & home fries. Mind you, I'm not a fan of eggs so I'm unsure what I was thinking, but I am so glad I still enjoyed! Big cuts of the veggies (mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach) to have in every bite. The home fries weren't as potato-y though had a nice crunch and seasoned well. Overall great experience and our waitress was super sweet + down to earth. Great location & inside design. Outstanding playlist as well! read more

Always bringing a unique breakfast menu options, Rustic Spoon is a go to treat for our whole family. Their service is excellent, servers were very attentive. I really enjoy their outdoor seating when the weather is good. Their indoor seating is also very comfortable. If you haven't tried their Japanese Cloud pancake which they call the Spoon stack, that is a must at least once. We have ordered different menu items every time we have visited Rustic Spoon. The one item we always order is their Scotch Egg, which is perfectly prepared. I have had Scotch Egg at other restaurants and Rustic Spoon is the only restaurant that has not over cooked their egg. This is a must try for locals and others visiting the area. Their menu items are also priced appropriately. read more

What a great little spot! We made a reservation via open table. I love it when I can make a reservation! I dislike it when I walk in and I am told there is a 30-45 min wait at places. I like knowing there is a table available, especially during covid. The moment we walked in we were greeted instantly than sat in a little corner in the back. We were very comfortable. Every table seemed to have a hand sanitizer bottle. Ours happen to be kissing, but I was prepared. I had some in my large mom purse. We order a little bit of everything. We had scotch eggs, crab cakes, mango sorbet mimosa, pancakes, chicken and waffle sliders, the grilled cheese special and the burger. Gosh did I miss anything? Ha! It was all amazing. I like that they have specials and a few different things here and there on their menu. Stuff like that makes us want to visit more often. Knowing that there is a change and not the same old same old it nice. The me thing that was amazing that my husband was highly impressed with was how they handled the scotch eggs. My husbands scotch egg order came to the table. Instantly our waitress told him there was another order coming out because these were not up to their standards. About 5 minutes later new scotch eggs came out. The fact that they took care of that in their own and made it right was beyond impressive! That type of thing makes me wonder what other great things do they do for their customers. All the food was amazing! We devoured 95% of it. Our waitress was amazing! She was so polite and attentive. We will definitely be back when we are in the area... which is often even when we live on the other side of the water. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and we were finally in the area this morning. Right out of the gate the service is fantastic!!! This is a restaurant that takes their customer service seriously. We received such a friendly greeting the second we walked in the door. I am wearing a brace on my leg right now and the hosts were concerned enough to ask if I was able to walk upstairs (I can) and we were immediately seated. The decor is beautiful, modern and rustic all at the same time! We were in a breakfast mood, so that's what we went with. Although the lunch offerings sounded yummy. I got "The Good," which is an egg combo. I always try scrambled eggs the first time at a new breakfast place - that's my benchmark. Eggs aren't as easy as they look. These were scrambled with cheddar and they definitely passed the test, though they were a little bland. The bacon - oh the bacon!! I have a real thing for maple bacon and this was super tasty. It could have been a little crunchier (if my hubby had ordered it), but it was fine for me. I was a little disappointed with the home fries - potatoes and red pepper, but really lacking in flavor. Get something with butter, because that honey butter is a wonderful surprise! Hubby had the pancakes and they were the size of his head! They were huge (and so is his head - haha)! They were not overly sweet, but add that tasty butter and some maple syrup - YUMMY! Again, the service was on point. Our coffee and iced tea were kept full. The staff really seems to work as a team running food, etc. Even the busser was on top of his game. We will definitely be back! Next time I am looking forward to trying that grilled wedge salad!! read more

The avocado toast was a great appetizer to share filled with fresh Haas avocado smashed to tasty perfection with plenty of chunks and seasoning then topped with cherry tomatoes, grilled balsamic red onion, grapefruit vinaigrette, pickled radish all on a nice toasted ciabatta baguette. The carnitas hash is made with a well-seasoned braised pork, sunny side up egg, roasted corn, roasted red pepper, tomatoes, queso fresco and topped with crema, lime, and cilantro. The chicken and waffles is also a delicious entree as the spicy buttermilk fried chicken thigh is drizzled with hot honey. It's a solid brunch option for its menu, quick service, and nice lighting. read more

I found the Smashburger to be quite good, although they could back off the sauce a little so as to lessen the chance of the dish self-destructing and thereby requiring a fork to finish it. The restaurant space has a good feel about it to me. I'll happily return. read more

The Rustic spoon is a wonderful place to go. My review as of this day may have just been an off day as they are typically consistent. The breakfast crush was a sweet oj and bourbon drink that I feel went well with a brunch style meal. As for the crabcake appetizer, it had good flavor, yet the grease was either old or too hot as the outside was darker in color and had a burnt taste. The pancakes were done well and no complaints there. However, the crabcake Benedict was done completely wrong the egg was hard boiled and whatever they used vinegar on in the building of the Benedict was overpowering and the home fries tasted hard and bland. I still have faith that they can recover. read more

A lot of people have told me that I need to go to the Rustic Spoon, unfortunately I'm not sure why. We were seated right away next to the door that leads outside to the patio. It was chilly and there were people dining out on the patio which was surprising seeing how chilly it was and it doesn't look like they have outdoor heaters or fire pits. We asked to move closer to the fire place and away from the doors. We were told we could once we got all settled we were then informed we had to move because the table was reserved. The place is very cute. On to the food...we originally came to get dessert but we both decided to get a small bite to eat. I figured I would try the corn chowder it sounded good, it ends right there sounded good. The bowl comes out let's talk about serving food in a chipped bowl then let's talk about the food temperature. The chowder was lukewarm at best that might be an exaggeration. It was so thick I could plaster a wall with it. I've never had chowder that thick. Not too much flavor hard to get over the temperature and thickness so I had two bites and I was done. When I went to order my food I specifically asked the waitress if the fries were fresh cut fries she informed me that they are so I ordered them. When they came to the table I could tell immediately that they are not fresh cut so I mention it to the waitress. She informs me that they are in deed fresh cut she even goes on to tell me that she watched the chef peel and cut the potatoes for fries. I said well I will tell you right now these are not fresh fries they are frozen. So he must of cut them for something else. So I don't eat those either. Now it's dessert time! We should of just stuck with the dessert and skipped the food all together. The brownie sundae is okay not the best or worst. As if things couldn't get any worse it's time for the check we get separate checks I get my check I said wait a minute why would you charge me for this when I sent the chowder and the fries back. She said the manager came over and you didn't tell him anything was wrong. Me and my friend were so confused because we both didn't recall a visit from a manager. Then my friend said are you referring to this man and points at someone. She said he came over to thank me for the toy donation he didn't introduce himself or ask us about anything. So the waitress said so you want me to have him come by? Of course I'm not gonna pay for something I didn't like or eat. Well then she comes back a few minutes later with a check and the items removed and the waitress says to me the manager removed the items. Mind you he never came by the table. Not very good customer service. Will I go back I doubt it! I don't know what people like about the restaurant. read more

Although I no longer live in the 757, the Rustic Spoon definitely will be one of my brunch go to spots for my future Va. Beach trips. My primary reason for giving 5 stars is because of the Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict. I cannot remember if is a part of the regular menu or if it was a special, but it was ABSOLUTELY amazing. Just writing this post is making me crave the dish. Our waitresses were pretty much on point with everything, and we did not really have to wait for anything. Since I was driving back to NYC, I did not have a chance to check out some of the fun brunch cocktails, but trying out the speciality cocktails definitely will be on my to do list for my next visit. Seriously, I was thinking about the eggs bendict for most of the 8 hour drive back to NYC. ;) Also, the place's location is great for folks traveling north because it's right on the way to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. read more

First time trying the Rustic Spoon, and From what I had was pretty good. Lilly's biscuits homemade that is. Are really good crisp like on the outside and fluffy buttery goodness on the inside mmhmm. And the other good thing is that you get two biscuits lol one for now and later. I also had the calamari yeah I know crazy combo right , lol I didn't have them together but back to the calamari. They are good but definitely could of been fried harder some were kinda soft and felt weird in my mouth. But good thing I have an air fryer and that brought them around yesss once that good crunch was established they were pretty damn good. Oh and the sauce they give for their calamari. I enjoyed it to my surprise, because usually I don't need anything extra for my rings of crispy deliciousness. Will be back to try more. read more

We checked out this place and it was super delicious! I had a meatloaf with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, and broccolini, and it was so flavorful and delicious! I even enjoyed the sprouts on top. I also had the chicken and wild rice soup that was on special. And it was so full of flavor, I could have ate another bowl. MDP had ham and eggs Benedict and potatoes. She said it was very tasty as well. She also had a coffee and said it was really good. Our server was very attentive. The place has a great ambience. We went around 2 o'clock on a Sunday. It was very busy and lively. It was decorated nicely for Christmas. The only drawback was it was extremely loud in there. I didn't mind that it was busy, but the acoustics make it really loud.
