Spicy miso with crispy pork on my side and veggie ramen for my husband.
Jessica L.

It's been about a year since my last review. We finally made it in on a Monday night for ramen. We started with biscuits because... I mean we love their biscuits, lol. My husband got the veggie ramen and I got the spicy miso. I'm sad to say, I didn't love the ramen. I wanted to love it, the toppings on mine were great, but the broth wasn't quite as good as our favorite ramen spot. And the noodles were kind of mushy. I'm not sure if they were overcooked or if that's just the noodle type they use. My husband did not like his at all. But my cocktail was delicious, service was on point. As always, atmosphere was still bright and clean. When the bill arrived, the waitress told us she took my husband's ramen off, since he didn't eat any. Today's visit was probably a four star day And we will be back. Just because we didn't care for one item on their menu doesn't diminish our love for this place.

I'm obsessed and see this being a regular breakfast place for us. I've been twice in the past month. I will say they have specials that change often so you never know if you get to try something new or not. The only downside is since it's still cold out there is limited seating so if you have a large party, you will end up waiting. We waited about an hour because when we got there, everybody else had just got there as well, so there were no open tables to fit us with the baby. People that came in and were able to sit at the bar, sat down quickly though. I think this will be much less of a problem when it starts to warm up because they do have outdoor seating as well. 10/10 for the Christmas Mimosas Flight 10/10 for Frescas con crema (totally shareable) 8/10 for the Battlefield Breakfast (didn't care for the turkey sausage and they were out of the pork) 7/10 for the Baja breakfast skillet, which I ended up getting as a burrito - except not all the potatoes were cooked all the way 9/10 for the hot chocolate 4/10 for the biscuits. You have to really like rosemary. I'd pass on these in the future. 4/10 for the coffee. It was meh. If you're gonna do hot coffee, go ahead and grab it from pale horse, a couple of doors down. They did have a good selection for iced coffee, but I didn't try any of those. Can't wait to go and try more items and excited to see what they have on their changing menu.

An easy 10/10! Cozy and comfortable outdoor seating with plenty of shade, incredibly kind customer service, delicious desserts and smoothies. All food tasted fresh with a diverse menu. Highly recommend for an early dinner or brunch.

The Stockpot Chesapeake is located in the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake. They are located along Battlefield Blvd. in the Expressway Shops Shopping Center. My visit here was on December 2, 2025. I haven't been to this part of Chesapeake. I was here for a team holiday lunch. It was a bit confusing to get here with the GPS, but at least I was finally able to get to the right spot. We would be eating inside for sure, as it was a rainy day. Parking was not an issue during this visit, and you can see the outdoor patio in front of the restaurant. Once I came inside, you could see that this place was a casual restaurant. A table was already reserved for our group. After coming inside, I sat down for a moment and then looked around the place for a few moments. There is a bar area. The place isn't large, but they were able to accommodate everyone here during the time we were here. We would talk and mingle for a while until everyone arrived, but our server came around each time asking for drinks while we waited, though I just stick to water with lemon. They are a breakfast, brunch and lunch type of restaurant. I took some time to look over the menus they had. They have their main menu, as well as a Two For You Lunch Combo menu. After everyone was here, we had some time to look over the menus. Our server came around for the ordering. I decided to go with the BLT Lunch Combo with the deluxe version (includes avocado and egg. A side was included, and I chose the Route 11 Kettle Chips. After about 10 to 15 minutes, the food started coming out to the table. I will say all the food looked really good too. When my order came out, it looked really good too. I was ready to indulge in that sandwich. The sandwich was great and had lots of flavor to it with the items included in it. The kettle chips were really good too, but I hadn't had chips with that many carbs in it for quite a while. Finally, we were able to choose a dessert brownie, and I went with the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake. This item really hit the spot too. I know it spiked my glucose that day, but it isn't something I do often. Overall, this was an excellent experience here. We all had a great time and great food. Service was great too. They have a great unique food menu. I will likely be back, but will probably go to the one in Virginia Beach as that one is much closer to me. If you are looking for another local breakfast/brunch/lunch place to visit, this place is worth checking out.

Holiday Mimosa flight
Rebecca G.

We have been to The Stockpot a few times now since moving here and have always had a great experience. The food is so good and gives that warm and cozy home cooked feeling. We will continue to come back here because there are still a lot of things I want to try. For example, their Monday ramen nights sound very enticing. Their desserts look phenomenal as well, but I have yet to try them. Service is always great too. The servers work together and check in often and are very friendly. There is usually a wait on the weekends, but it's never been an issue for us. Overall, we love The Stockpot and will definitely keep coming back. P. S. I really hope the blueberry cheesecake French toast comes back in the summer!!

I have been to the Stockpot Chesapeake twice since my first visit 2 weeks ago. My first visit we came for my sister's birthday brunch, it was a great experience where we left saying "I can't believe we've never tried this place." Our Second visit was less impressive but great nonetheless. My first visit I had the Merry Mimosa Flight, Fresas con cream pancakes, and a side of bacon. Every little thing, down to the crumbs was consumed. The flight was adorable already (That grinch one stole my heart and my pallet) but they were all very good. The Fresas con cream pancakes were so large you could share! Bigger than my hand! The bacon was really good, not too crispy or soft. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. Now my second visit all the items I wanted to try were either gone from their seasonal menu or not available so I tried the yogurt with granola and honey and grabbed a side of bacon. One kiddo had a stock gyro and the other had a hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup. Which were all received well. The only negative for me is how the use plain Greek yogurt, it was good as long as you had the granola and honey with it but once it was done the yogurt was too thick, plain, and made it feel as if I was eating sour cream. This second time we came we had 6 people, which I assume is when that add gratuity. Our waitress was less attentive this visit as well. The place is pretty small, but if you get there at the right time there's not really a wait.

Having been to the Stockpot in Norfolk and VB, I wanted to check out this Chesapeake location. I came in on a Monday morning, just before lunch. I noticed that this location easily has the best parking situation of the three, as it's located at a small shopping center with amply parking directly in front of the restaurant. I was seated quickly upon entering and water (and a menu) was provided immediately. I glanced around and liked this location immediately - it's spacious, it doesn't feel crowded and they have a big outdoor patio for those who enjoy al fresco dining. It was my lucky day because Stockpot offers ramen on Mondays. I decided on the Stockpot Shio and Anne's chicken noodle soup. I waited a little while for the soup, but if I remember correctly, they make it the chicken soup to order, so no big deal. The chicken soup justified the wait. It was hot, delicious and comforting. I only ordered a cup (I was technically having more soup for my entree anyways), so next time I will likely upgrade to a bowl. The Stockpot Shio soon arrived, which came with Yuzu sofrito & sea salt tare, chicken & pork broth, shredded chicken, napa cabbage, black garlic oil. My goodness, this bowl of ramen was fantastic - I devoured it. It's so good, I'm gonna have to make it a point to come in as often as I can on Mondays. My server was quiet, but nice. She helped me throughout most of my stay, but once my entree arrived I didn't see her again. Another employee, who appeared to be the manager on duty, dropped off my check, dropped off a togo order I placed early on, and returned with my card and receipt after I paid. Not sure it that's their protocol, but it seemed weird that my original server didn't check up on me or finish up with me the rest of the way. Regardless, this dining experience was fantastic. Despite the distance to this location from Norfolk, this might be my preferred Stockpot (because of the parking). I look forward to future visits. Thank you, Stockpot! JV

Irish Benedict special

Solid brunch choice with fast service and reasonable prices. The decor was very basic, but the delicious food made up for it. We did wish the menu had some more options, but we enjoyed ourselves.

Huevos Rancheros
Theresa M.

After a morning of pickle ball, my friend and I decided to go for some brunch at The Stockpot. We both liked the one in Norfolk, so we thought we'd give this one a try. We were happy we did. I really enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros Fried Rice with over medium eggs, and she enjoyed the Battlefield Breakfast. We both added a rosemary biscuit which was delicious, too. The wait staff were very nice and helpful. It's a cute place with a relaxing atmosphere, located in a strip mall. In the area, Check Them out!

Bui Bowl with Salmon
Heidi S.

I've been to this location of The Stockpot a few times now and feel more comfortable giving a comprehensive review. This particular location sits on the end of a small strip shopping center off south Battlefield Blvd. There is ample private parking. They have a large canopied patio in the front of the restaurant for those peak weather days, which is a nice draw as well. I have been drawn to The Stockpot on multiple occasions because they have an excellent selection of vegetarian and vegan options. They have unique dishes that you will definitely not find anywhere else. The food that we have tried has been hit or miss. I have tried the Bui bowl multiple times with eggs (breakfast) and salmon (dinner). I would recommend ordering without the oil - it can make a meal that you think would feel light very heavy. Hubby has tried the OG fried rice, which he liked and a daily special toasty, which he really liked. They're kind of like a grilled cheese uncrustable if you can picture such a thing. The kids meals have disappointed our little one a bit. The side of fruit has been only 1 type rather than a combo. On both visits, she didn't care for their selection of green apple and the cantaloupe last visit was flavorless. The waffles are also not impressive. It's almost as if they were cooked on a waffle iron ahead of time then deep fried to order - VERY crispy and greasy is the only way I can explain it. Note of caution: they automatically come slathered with way too much syrup and butter. Request it on the side if this is not your preference. Overall, service is decent. We've yet to have a super friendly server. They always seem busy and to-the-point. On our 2nd visit, our server had an excuse for everything - food delays, cold coffee - but never an apology. Service was much improved and attentive on our most recent visit. Overall, three stars. I will likely return to try some of their other menu offerings.

Honey ginger green tea - lacking ginger taste
Mary-Ann L.

* Let me preface this review: Food is 5 stars* The left to be desired 1 star is for service. I really hate to give stockpot a less stellar review since I love Stockpot food and have been repeat patron with great experiences at the Norfolk and VA Beach locations! First time at this location. I am not surprised that they're busy at lunch time on a weekday, with no other " competition" within a half mile radius. Service is dismal. There are tables not cleared, which is unacceptable at a busy timeframe. I was fine with being offered a seat at the bar/counter. There is only one chef on the grill, one sous chef seemingly busy with salad prep. I had to let the waitress know I was ready to order as she was walking around just filling sauce cups?? The second waitress was just chatting away while clearly there was another group of 3 that also sat at the bar after me. After chatting, this waitress started asking the party that sat AFTER me for their drinks. Was it because I was one person probably with less tip potential? The same waitress can also be found taking quick breaks to check her phone! The food and drinks: I ordered the iced honey ginger green tea. Can't taste the ginger. Towards the end when I was given their device to add tip to the bill, the waitress said "thanks for your patience, it's been busy out here". It's great for the awareness and reflection but doesn't service have to be great impervious to how busy the restaurant gets? Ambiance: There are also tons of flies indoors (see photo).

After trying the sister locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, I knew I had to check out stockpot Chesapeake. As expected, the food was fresh and varied. We sat at the communal table, and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right as we arrived despite the typical 757 Sunday brunch rush. I highly recommend for a healthy yet satisfying brunch!

Southwest skillet
Diana M.

Not my first time here and definitely not my last! The Stockpot has such a classic diner food feel, with an elevated atmosphere. Service here is always excellent, and I recommend almost everything on the menu. The stockpot is also a major community hub! They host weekly ramen Mondays, and have plenty of community classes and events throughout the month Today, for Valentine's Day brunch, I got the OG fried rice with a side of the Yukon potato's, and a vanilla honey matcha. Let me tell you, good matcha is so hard to find, but oh my gosh I found it here. The perfect mix of sweet and earthy + served in the cutest little mason jar! Also, the potatoes here are to DIE for. So absolutely delicious. A must have if you're coming to the stockpot. The OG fried rice is delicious, topped with kimchi, which is not usually my jam, but with this it's perfect! The OG fried rice is their best selling dish, so you have to try it at least once. Also pictured is the southwest skillet that my boyfriend got. Also super delish and again, has those iconic potatoes!

Didn't try any food off the menu because we were already planning to go eat after we left the farm, but after looking at the menu, I definitely see myself going back here soon to try their food and whatever new seasonal items/drinks they'll be adding to the menu in the next month or so.

The waitress who helped us was incredibly nice and took the time to answer all of my questions. Unfortunately, my excitement was cut short when I went to order the #6 breakfast special and found out the fried rice was pre-made with ham, and there was no option to get it without meat. Since the fried rice was out, I pivoted and ordered the #1 Special: 2 eggs (requested soft scrambled with cheese) 2 pieces of bacon (asked to hold the bacon) White toast Home fries Side order: Egg rolls to go The execution of breakfast was pretty disappointing. The eggs weren't soft scrambled, the cheese on top wasn't melted, and the home fries were very hard. To top it off, the whole plate came out at room temperature. I didn't make a fuss or send it back because it's a small, family-owned restaurant and they clearly have a lot of loyal regulars who love them. Overall Verdict: Breakfast Food: 5/10 Egg Rolls: 7/10 The service alone makes it worth giving them another shot. While breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I would definitely return to give their lunch menu a try.

What Made It Memorable Photo 1 shows the Reuben sandwich from October 10, 2024, and it was unforgettable--the kind of sandwich I could not stop thinking about. Since then, my family and I have returned at least once a month. When family visited from out of town, this was one of the first places we wanted to take them. What Has Changed Fast forward to 2026, and the quality over the past few months has gotten worse with each visit. The sandwich no longer feels like the same thoughtful, well-made item that made us keep coming back. * The bread seems different. * The ingredients feel sparse. * Today's sandwich was burnt. * The dressing was missing. Overall, the quality control just does not feel consistent anymore. I truly enjoyed this place, but I cannot justify paying $17 for a sandwich that is so clearly not what it used to be. A Hopeful Note The employees are kind and friendly, and the service is usually quick even when the restaurant is busy. The food used to be amazing, and I am genuinely hoping this is just a bump in the road and that the team can make a few adjustments to bring the quality back to what it was.

Battlefield Boulevard, just outside the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake. Having visited their Summit Pointe location before, we were pleasantly surprised by just how spacious this café is. The Great Bridge location offers plenty of comfortable seating, making it an ideal place to meet friends, catch up on work, or simply relax with a great cup of coffee. Their retail area is also much larger, featuring an impressive selection of branded T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, coffee beans, and other merchandise for those who want to take a little piece of Pale Horse home with them. We arrived just before the Saturday morning rush, which proved to be perfect timing. No sooner had we settled into our seats with our lattes than a group of nearly thirty people walked through the door. It didn't take long for the shop to become a lively gathering place. Despite the growing crowd, the atmosphere remained welcoming and unhurried. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to enjoy your favorite espresso drink or simply stopping by to grab a coffee on the go, Pale Horse has created an environment that encourages you to stay awhile. In addition to an excellent selection of coffee, espresso, and handcrafted lattes, they also offer a variety of fresh baked goods if you're looking for something to enjoy alongside your drink. One piece of advice: arrive early. Word has definitely gotten out about this place, and it's easy to see why. Even if you happen to visit during a busy period and have to wait a few extra minutes, the quality of the coffee and the friendly atmosphere make it well worth your patience. Pale Horse Coffee continues to prove that great coffee is only part of the experience. Comfortable surroundings, friendly service, and a welcoming community are what keep people coming back--and after this visit, it's easy to understand why. !

I liked how the chilled compote, syrup, and whipped cream were served in separate containers so that I could dip! Nice touch! The Belgian Waffle was fluffy and tasty! I also enjoyed my choice of The Lola (White Snickerdoodle Latte) specialty latte with oak milk (extra charge) that features white mocha, cinnamon & vanilla. My husband really liked his order of the Breakfast Burrito with bacon, noting how tasty their house salsa was. His specialty latte was The Moose which is their honey roasted peanut latte (toasted marshmallow, peanut butter & honey). Our orders were taken by the mother of one of the owners. She was very friendly and pleasant, telling us to take our time looking over the menu. She pointed out the month of May specials, and you could tell how happy she was to support this small business. We're thankful to have such a wonderful breakfast and lunch option with specialty beverages on the south side of the Great Bridge Locks. IYKYK

The coffee was good, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of…read morethe shop was a major issue. The environment didn't appear to be well maintained, and it made the experience feel unsanitary. What concerned me the most was watching an employee fill my boyfriend's iced coffee with tap water directly from the sink. That completely changed my confidence in how drinks are prepared. Good coffee is important, but cleanliness and proper food handling are just as important. I hope they address these issues because the coffee itself has a lot of potential.

To start, I was able to call and immediately make a reservation for the time I needed on a Friday…read moreevening. As soon as I hung up I received a notification text. The night before I received a confirmation text. I appreciate the old school communication. The parking lot is small. I am disabled and had to park in the lot across the street because there was absolutely no parking available. (The missing 5th star) When we arrived we were immediately seated. The restaurant is quaint. The staff is friendly and welcoming. From the guest in our party: The Fried Flounder was DELICIOUS!! On and off the sandwich. Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The Yardbird sandwich was pretty good as well. The jambalaya on the other hand not so much (the chicken was hard). The fries were delicious as well. After we ate we discovered the outside atmosphere which is right on the water. They had a live band which was amazing. They had jenga, cornhole, gliding dinner tables, a fire pit, an entire other bar. It was a great surprise. My cousin had the best time for her birthday celebration Thank you for being such a great experience.

We came here after a bike ride and needed some caloric replenishment.. and beer because we earned…read morethat. I looked at their menu ahead of time and I like that they serve breakfast items well into the day, because sometimes it's 3pm and I'm in the mood for an avocado toast. There were so many delicious looking items on the menu so it was somewhat difficult to choose; they have appetizers, handhelds, seafood, French district, salads, soups, and the tacos. In a seafood mood, we shared the mahi and tuna tacos. They were so perfect, and this is coming from a traditional street taco on a corn tortilla gal. The mahi tacos were not greasy and overly fried, but had crunch and held together. The tuna tacos were seared well and had a pineapple accompaniment. The lime crema on both brought the dishes together. I like that they were served with chips and salsa over fries too, although if another side is more your speed, they do ask you to verify. We sat outside with perfect shade and a view of the water and really enjoyed our experience.
