Decent food. I…read morevisited sometime ago and the food was decent but my experience that's going to be forever memorable is experiencing the bartender HySonia. I remember her last year from the War of the Wings and was able to get service from her this past Saturday at the Norfolk Street Food Festival. I believe she's apart of the Blue Moon Taphouse family so she's definitely the star of the show hopefully the food going forward can be better than decent but nevertheless... HySonia is friendly... definitely worth five stars alone! Have fun and enjoy life :)

I visited with a lager group for lunch and immediately knew that the restaurant appeared to be under staffed. The server who took our orders did a great job but the food wait time was much longer than anticipated considering we were the only group. Many of us ordered their burger and I was taken back by the server bringing out the food at different times. Their beer selection is good but my medium burger was burnt to a crisp. Recommend only coming here for drinks, especially if you enjoy blue moon.

We catch the happy hour for $5 Drinks and cheap appetizers. The drinks are good and the appetizers are delicious. The service is hit or miss in regards to speed. We usually sit at the bar for faster service. The atmosphere is a dive type of sports bar. A lot of TVs to watch any sports game and pool tables as well. I would recommend this place yo anyone looking for cheap drinks and good food before a game or event.

This night in particular, last night, we were there to watch the games playoff season is almost underway... We sat at the bar throughout the night don't recall the name of the bartender but super cool guy had locks and wore glasses he took care of us everything was cool. We ordered the catfish bites they were just okay I remember having them a time before and they were very good but last night not so much we used hot sauce to help them. We ordered the angry Asian wings they were very good so I do recommend you try those and get that flavor. The fries were just okay not my favorite but it is what it is. Parking was no issue we were able to find a parking right on the street so only a short walk to the restaurant and it was pretty packed last night but again the band was on point playing R&B, oldies and Christmas Classics so check them out if you're in the area always a good time. Have fun and enjoy life :)

My first experience here at Roger Browns Restaurant. We were greeted within five mins, but the wait…read morewas about 20 minutes due to the kitchen was backed up and larger parties were finishing up. We decided to wait at the bar for our table. Within 20 mins we were seated at a table and Jada our server came over and took our drink orders, apps, and entree. Now, I just assumed our food would take at least 30 mins. Less than 15 mins our appetizer was out and then our entrees followed. Jada was on point and we missed the live Music on last night but maybe next time.

It was decently spacious inside and there was indoor and outdoor seating along with seating at the bar. We decided to sit outside since the weather was pretty nice. I ordered their jerk chicken wrap and tater tots (6/10), it def didn't taste like "jerk chicken" at all and could've had more seasoning on it. Really was just a "sweet brown sauce chicken and cucumber" wrap lol. Def didn't order the right thing when I went, so if I do return, I'll be ordering something different and will make sure to schedule a bay wayyyy ahead of time haha. My overall rate of experience : 6.5/10

Definitely plan on going back!

We shared a humus appetizer and it was a revelation - fresh, bright and gorgeous on the palate. I had the Brizola - Lamb steak w/ Broccoli and lemon rosemary potatoes - fantastically tender cut of lamb, broccoli aldente and bright - the potatoes were packed with flavor, a perfect side for the lamb. I can only whet your appetite for the skillet cookie desert - I am obsessed with the gooey chocolate and rich vanilla and ice cream. We sat at a high top for four and it was very comfortable - not crushed by other tables. Roomy and cozy at once. Can't wait to go back.

We had Brittany today and she's hands down my favorite waitress now. She was 10/10…read more My husband and I moved our business in the area, and I eat an anti inflammatory diet, so we've been coming to Ora Pax the past two weeks. Quite literally almost every single day. And this is my honest review. The food is 10/10. I haven't had anything from here that I have not liked. The chicken soup is my favorite thing on the menu, as I have a lot of health issues that makes it harder for me to eat than most, so it's nice to have something so delish and easy to eat. I had it for dinner for 5 days straight last week. The service. I've only had one wonderful server here. We came in last night and got service that made me want to write this review. The servers here really need to learn to write orders down. So far 5 of my trips here, the servers haven't written anything down and had messed up almost every single thing we ordered. Which makes ME feel like a burden because then of course "it wasn't their fault". Even when you ask them to write things down, they're still cocky and don't. Towards the end of our night, we hadn't seen our server in a VERY long time. Didn't come back to ask if we needed refills ONCE after we got our food. We literally didn't see her again. We then were being helped by a man who made it feel like we were being shoved out the door. I still tipped 20% but I'm truly regretting it now. That was a $22 tip that honestly no one deserved. Even the woman who was delivering food for the server was getting annoyed because she kept bringing out the wrong items, because the server didn't remember everything we told her. I'll probably just continue getting takeout from here because truly I'm not a fan of the service at all. I'm sick of tipping culture especially at restaurants like this, where food is a bit pricey, so two people ends up being over $100, and that's automatically a $20 tip. I recommend eating here. But for takeout.

A couple months ago I went to the Stockpot location in VA Beach, so when in Norfolk and walking by…read morethis one I stopped in. I was taken care of by the chef and she was very helpful with the menu. They have so many appetizing options on their mostly healthy, all fresh menu. I love soup, so I love that they offer several each day, with some standards, plus a soup of the day, which on the day I visited was cream of potato. Where I sat at the counter, I could watch them making all the food and I was impressed to see that they don't just ladle soup into a bowl to serve it, they actually cook and prepare, then dress it to plate it perfectly. Their cream of potato was really good and not the traditionally made where the potato is pureed into the soup - rather they make a creamy soup base and then add potatoes to it. The combo of the soup, a small piece of potato, scallion, and a small piece of bacon really made for a great spoonful in each spoonful I enjoyed!! My coworker got their Asian Chicken Noodle and that looked amazing! He said it was incredible. Next up was the entrée and we both got their lamb gyro.... It's not the traditional gyro, it's an openfaced style, just like their chicken salad toast. It was really good! The tzatziki was great on it! And we also got a side of their cucumber feta salad... this tasted fresh and the feta was vibrant, with the combo of the cucumber and feta together being incredibly tasty. Overall, another very nice visit to a Stockpot restaurant... Looks like I need to try their Chesapeake location to get the trifecta of Stockpot! Highly recommend stopping in!

If you're only in Norfolk for a few days like I was, finding a place that actually sticks with you…read morecan feel like luck--but The Stockpot is exactly that kind of find. I ended up ordering the southwestern skillet with a lamb burger, and honestly, it was one of those meals you don't forget. The flavors were just... dialed in. Everything tasted intentional--perfectly seasoned, balanced, and comforting without being heavy. And the lamb? That slight gaminess added just the right amount of depth and richness to the dish. It didn't overpower anything--it completed it. What really stood out to me, though, was how effortless the whole experience felt. The staff were genuinely friendly--not in a scripted way, but the kind that makes you feel welcome right away. And the service was quick, which I appreciated since I was trying to make the most of a short trip. There's something about this place that feels like a local gem you almost don't want to share--but at the same time, you know people need to know about it. If I had more time in Norfolk, I would've gone back without hesitation. It's the kind of spot that makes you wish your trip was just a little bit longer.
