Restaurants in Norfolk

“This quaint restaurant serves up the best sandwiches I ever had. The Earl of Sandwich himself would approve! Not to mention the staff members are great! If you are stuck on an item, I would choose the Greek lamb hoagie as my last meal!”

“Great food! We are from out of state, visiting family and loved this place.”

“The atmosphere and staff was very nice. It was our first time and we enjoyed our food! I definitely would recommend this restaurant to others.”

“This was our second time at Four Eleven York—and it was just as wonderful as the first! The ambiance is so cozy, and we genuinely felt like we had the place to ourselves. Nicole, our server, was fantastic—professional, friendly, and somehow always there right when we needed her. The food was not only beautiful to look at but absolutely delicious, and we were touched by the special surprise for our anniversary. You just don’t find restaurants that care this much anymore. We’ll definitely be back—and as often as possible.”

“Simply amazing! Great customer service. The food is beyond compare… I had the smoke show plate absolutely delicious 🤤. If you are in the area, go! DO IT!!!!!! FYI: grits are on point!!”

“The lavender cake latte was amazing and the lime pistachio one was pretty good too. We tried both savory waffles and were delightfully surprised at how amazing their combinations were. Would happily come again. The staff was super nice and it didn't take very long to get our coffees or food.”

“If you want to feel like your in a home environment with amazing food and amazing staff. I highly recommend”

“I have finally found my favorite restaurant after living in the area 2 years! The food was so good I woke up this morning still imagining every delicious moment last night. The visit started with incredibly friendly staff, an original mocktail made by the talented bartender, and warm, fresh focaccia. Both appetizers ordered were superb. My main course, the butternut squash ravioli with Italian sausage...omg...the flavor in each bite...the way it hit on the palette with just the perfect blends of texture, spice and sauce was nothing short of revolutionary. It made me want to stand up and proclaim that I had FINALLY found the love I had been looking for my entire life! Luckily for those around me, I didn't do that, but I really wanted to. Our entire table was blown away as we ate varying dishes from the ravioli special to the spaghetti limone to the fresh flounder. I'm afraid anyone overhearing our table commenting on the absolutely outstanding orgasmic flavors of our food as we ate might have thought we were under the influence of psychedelics...but we were only under the influence of the exceptional food, wine and mocktails being served from the superb Chef and staff. As if that wasn't enough, we ended our meal with the chocolate mousse, which was able to give us that one last flavor climax with its perfectly balanced dark yet so satisfying chocolate tones. OMG. MIND BLOWN. Blanca reminds me of food I would find at a high end restaurant in San Francisco or NYC, yet with the friendliness, comfortable ambiance and welcoming energy of a smaller city. Wow. Just Wow. Amazing. I can't wait to go back. The world is a better place with the food and people of Blanca in it!”

“My wife and I have consistently enjoyed Swell for several years. Service and food are exceptional! However, I'm posting this review because of something that occurred this evening. Two days ago, I received an email informing me of a new addition to their menu ...... she crab soup. My wife and I were thrilled and decided to check it out this evening. We arrived, order wine and a beer, and were informed that the she crab soup ran out yesterday. I'm hoping that, in the future, if the owner is going to advertise a new menu item, that item should be on the menu. If it is not available, the owner should consider sending an email to his VIP members.”

“The food here is excellent and the owner is very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend!”

“Great time . Big place where you can sit and talk while eating. Great tasting food and attentive servers and staff”

“As my friends and family know, I owned a pizza place in a past life that had some pretty great reviews. I’m not a review guy typically, but this pizza was one of the best, if not the best, I’ve EVER had anywhere. 17/10 would recommend and will eat again.”

“Food was great except the spinach was a bit salty today. Almost everything there is made from scratc. Though prices seem high, the portions are large and likely enough to split into two meals if desired.

It has a very cozy atmosphere. Wait staff was fantastic.”

“Stopped by for the first time today. Billio was extremely nice & walked us through the whole menu as four tv screens full of options can be overwhelming. There was no rush to make decisions, everything was cooked to order. Appreciate you guys!!”

“The only place to go to for shawarmas. You won't find a better place.”

“Husband took the family out to dinner and it was amazing. Best restaurant we've eaten at in Norfolk. My 3 year old ate the spinach that's how good this place is. The drinks were excellent, the food was extremely well done and full of flavor. No wonder it is regularly booked up.”

“This is by far the best restuarant in Norfolk. Chef Ticha is a magician with food. The prawns were the best I have ever had in the USA. All the Food prepared and presented beautifully. I come here without exception when I’m in Norfolk. The bartenders are fabulous as well and create some fabulous cocktails.”

“Really great dumplings and noodles. Second time here got Manchurian dumplings and chicken noodles both medium and they are fabulous. Flavorful and medium is just right for me.”

“The ambiance was so romantic and perfect for our date night/celebration dinner. We enjoyed everything from the ahi tuna tartare, to the porto and cheesecake.”

“I’ve eaten here now 5 times. Gone for an evening date, family gathering of 8, and a regular dinner for 4 out and about in town. They can accommodate anything. The food is excellent, creative and unique. Staff is nice and helpful, and hardworking. This is a staple for me. Parking on the street hasn’t been a problem but also garages are available or uber if you are enjoying the neat drink menu.”

“So delicious. Great buffet. Kind servers. All around loved it!”

“Kimchi and spicy peanut noodles hotdogs were crazy!!! Highly recommend!”

“Visited for the first time. Food was great tasting and a great amount for the price. My waitress Cibelis, hope I spelled her name right. She was super great. Will eat here again next time I am in town”

“The best burgers and mozzarella sticks!! Highly recommend!”

“Stopped by to check them out, got the Pineapple Express bowl and Eartha got the Sour Diesel bowl - very good and fresh. Portion was about the size of a normal cereal bowl packed with fruits, granola etc. Would recommend and we plan on coming back for “Meet Me In The Alley”, which is the back side outdoor area with a food truck.”

“We had our holiday social at The Ghent. The manager and staff were super hosts from the beginning to reserve, order food and helpful to assist in any way to make our social enjoyable. I highly recommend The Ghent!”

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving. I was well assisted up the stairs and taken to our table. The servers could not have been more pleasant. When it was time to leave one of the female employees assisted me down the front steps and to my waiting car. They made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you so much.”

“Great company and even better people running it!”

“Omg where do I start!!! Me and my wife came Friday the 16th!! We didn’t have a reservation and I promise you I suggest making one especially on I house guess the weekend. We decided to sit at the bar instead of a window seat I also let the host know if someone cancels or if a Hi top come available please let us know. After 2 cocktails in which was amazing we got lucky got a seat! All you could see was the kitchen door flying open lol as the waitresses was bringing dishes I mean we only do fine dining when we eat out but I honestly wasn’t expecting something at this caliber seriously, you know we eat alot of places and sometimes the food just doesn’t be seasoned the way you expected especially if its plated nicely. Because it’s true we eat with our eyes first! But let me tell you!!! Goddd KISS THE CHEF!! The Owner, Owners whoever lol because every aspect was on point from service to atmosphere it really was unbelievable! I felt like I was in a major city!! Miami especially because I’ve had the oxtail lasagna there so I advised my wife to get that and I got the 37oz Tomahawk for 2 top with crab meat lol I love a good steak seriously. We didn’t get any appetizers because I wanted to save my appetite and my mental was in my pocket lol if you know what I mean but a $100 for a tomahawk with roasted potatoes it was no way I wasn’t gonna have that for dinner and some left for breakfast with cheese eggs in the morning lol Now when my steak came out! I ordered medium in which I expected to see pink because medium requires pink and who orders a well done steak anyway??? I mean it was cooked and seasoned to perfection with roasted potatoes and onions OMG I’M GOING BACK THERE!! Soon!! I taste my wife oxtail lasagna because she just kept saying how much better it tasted here lol so I did and she wasn’t exaggerating I mean the pasta sauce was sweet with garlic Omg how did they make a sauce that good and it had tomato chunks in it not the big crazy chunks but just perfect everything was PERFECT THIS PLACE DESERVES A MICHELIN⭐️ if thats possible in this area Ive ate in numerous countries because of my military background but this place is one for the books!!”

“Brought my mom to this place for the first time. My goodness I give this place a 20/10! The atmosphere is great. Staff is professional and attentive. The food was phenomenal!!! Portions were very generous and food was cooked to perfection. We had the international food appetizer which was absolutely amazing! The salad was amazing as well and beef kebab platter with Brussels sprouts were also phenomenal! I cannot wait to come back to this place. Im glad I found this little gem! Reccomend if you like great international food!! Oh and the dessert eas the bread pudding. It was to die for!”

“Gotta love Waffle House always a favorite”

“Fast unload once you get into the door I talked to several people in receiving very polite very professional and when it comes to getting into this place make left on olney and left into driveway. The other way to get in I was told that gate is permanently locked so olney is only way in. I had good experience will come here again.”

“Even though it’s a fast food restaurant, I like coming here! Everyone is always kind and friendly, orders are always on time and if for whatever reason it’s a little delay they always communicate everything. Amazing service!”

“I spoke to Nikki the manager about the service that I received from five separate employees at this location. Yes that's correct five separate employees helped One customer.
Triple plus rating to all employees involved in getting me my lunch today.

First off I was greeted with a smile and sat down promptly with a beautiful smile from the lovely greeter at the door.
Secondly my server was positive and thorough I could tell by the look on her face she was struggling a little bit with something in her life and she still provided me with excellent service.
The cook who served me my food was a very pleasant young gentleman with a very positive and gentle attitude asked me was there anything else that I needed or anything missing.
Dee, did not even serve me but the way that man runs around that restaurant, he can be on one end of the restaurant and still see people coming in the door telling them we'll be right with you,,,now that's attentiveness.
And lastly but not least the elder gentleman the Busman noticed that I was looking for my waitress and he stopped and asked me how can he help and I said all I needed was some silverware he stopped what he was doing and went and got me some silverware and brought it back to my table with a smile. He could have looked the other way but he saw that I needed something and he stopped to help even though that is not part of his job criteria.

Absolutely exemplary service from all the employees there both times I've been there. If I was management they would all be in line for a raise.

It's very tough working on those hard concrete and tile floors on your feet all day or night long I know because I do it as a part-time job and I know so the service that I received was very appreciated and I gave them all tips. I tipped more this visit than the cost of my meal!!!
Now that saying something about the service you receive at a restaurant.

I hope they keep all these team members and that I see them again on my next visit a truly exceptional team.
Sincerly,
The Don.”

“my server, Joao, was inattentive, disregarding, forgetful and rude. Not only did he barely greet me and my coworker, he was snotty, forgot half of my food, allowed my coworkers waffle to get cold before bringing his butter and syrup, didn't ask if we wanted refills, and barely spoke to us. then decided to get snarky when I left him a $2 tip when he didn't even deserve that... I always to at least 25%... not today”

“At IHOP I got the big breakfast platter. Shay was a very fast, courteous and attentive as my wait staff. The food was excellent and cooked to my desire. I especially love their sausage links and blueberry pancakes.”

“Kim & Crew, thanks for your attention to detail and professionalism. Kim & crew ensured we had everything we needed to complete our morning fellowship breakfast. Thanks for the "hot" box coffee. Our next breakfast is in September. We will be back! Thanks again?”

“I know people don’t want to work. Lot of times only one waitress. Then she has attitude! Very unprofessional! In this line of work need to be friendly.”

“Food was a good different, fresh not freezer burned.
Service was family orientated, like the knew the customers I'm m needs
Atmosphere was welcoming, no pressure when eating like at bar.”

“This is one of only a few locations open 24/7, and some of those hours are drive -thru only.

Hungry coming back from the airport.. service was fast, food was hot, but I asked for no cheese. Maybe @4 am, be lucky you get what you get? I did get the extra hashbrown.. food was hot!

Some of these locations are pretty sketchy @4am. I wouldn't stop, roll my window down and while waiting, willingly make myself a target of sorts. Something to think about when you stop... I did not feel uncomfortable at this location. I could see 180° easily, had a lane to exit quickly if needed, and there were no bushes or signs covering someone's approach, or go unnoticed if they walked towards me.

Order your sandwich with NO SALT and they make it fresh everytime!”

“I order on the app and do curbside pickup. They always get my order right and are super nice when they deliver my food. The breakfast is hot and a good price with the incentives provided on the app.”

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it”

“I had a cold brew with my sandwich. Then had to go back for the lemon pound cake. Super good. Everything is made fresh. Service was excellent (a little wait but worth it). I definitely recommend. I'll be a regular!”

“I was given a mini key lime pound cake today as small gift from a coworker. Words cannot describe how WONDERFUL it was!!! This was my first one but I WILL be by this weekend to pick up an assortment! THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!!”

“Fun little shop in downtown Norfolk. Great crepes and coffee! Will be back!”

“I love them so much, it’s all I ever think about.”

“Fave coffee in the area!!!”

“Unexpectedly delayed in Norfolk and happened to find this gem! Absolutely delicious! This is stuff you dream about. So freaking good!”

“My daughters name is Willow B. and she was treated like a Queen; given a free T shirt, free pool, all the games and coloring books her heart desired. The food was spectacular and the hostess was 10/10”

“The Cure in Newport News is such a comfortable environment and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The Crème Brûlée macchiato was absolutely perfect as well as their “The Hangover Cure” breakfast sandwich. I will definitely be coming here again!”

“Hangry”s is so so good Alyssa is the best server if I could rate it one out of 10 I would rate it a 10 I love it here. The food is all homemade and absolutely outstanding. There’s nothing that isn’t good! 🥇”

“We came here as a group of 6 on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated at their smallest table. When we asked to be moved to a larger (there were 3 open larger tables) we were told that the "wait" was too long. All 3 tables sat empty the entire time we ate. 3 of the 6 people in our party ordered the blackened sword fish at $34/plate. The orders came as grilled and they were severely over cooked. When we mentioned that the orders were wrong, we were told that they could take that fish back add blackened seasoning and re cook the same (already overcooked) fish. We asked to speak to the manager, whose immediate solution was to take off the automatic gratuity and just not tip our server. We never got an apology for the food being wrong, and the manager was completely rude the entire time. The manager's final solution was to take $4 off of a $80 bill. We will not be back.”

“Great food, great service”

“I cannot recommend the food and people at Kitchenfinity enough! I had the smash burger meal by recommendation and it was SO GOOD. Definitely a must try place, you’ll get hooked immediately, I know I am! They also have so many specials and new things to try constantly! I most definitely will be bringing my people in to try for themselves! Walk in, and you’ll feel instantly like family! You can taste the quality and love that goes into every single dish! Job well done Kitchenfinity crew!”

“This place is a blast with alot of energy. There's a room for every type of vibe you might be feeling. 10/10”

“Attended the wine dinner last evening and was underwhelmed. I had called to ask if they would accommodate dietary requests such as vegetarian/pescatarian and was told no however last evening they had several people that they accomadated for dietary requests. It was disappointing to learn that too late. It was a rainy cold evening and the seating for the event was in their inclosed outside seating area. Throughout the evening you got burst of cold air in spite of the heaters it was cold. Going into the colder months I definitely would not attend if they don’t change the location of the dinner in their restaurant. The food and wine were good but nothing overly impressive. The last wine was Federalist which is a very inexpensive everyday wine that you can get at total wine for under $20. I guess I was expecting more from the wine dinner which is why I say I was underwhelmed.”

“Another excellent meal at Omar's Carriage House. The pork belly fried rice had just enough heat to it but not so much as to overwhelm the flavor.”

“construction dancing cotton abajo”

“best ice cream in the state”

“We drive from Chesapeake once a week just to get Salmich’s. Best burgers around!!!!”

“I had the Chiflet burger and it was absolutely amazing , great friendly service definitely gonna have to go back.”

“Great place for a meeting or just a relaxing afternoon with my wife. Love the Tealux Signature Milk Tea and the smoothies.”

“Be a J Juice Bar is a phenomenal smoothie and health juice restaurant with delicious healthy smoothies and drinks designed with health at the peak of importance. Exceptional friendly staff (military owned restaurant). Highly recommended also are the Jamaican patties! The detox absolutely works lost 5 lbs in 3 days and felt a lot healthier after completing the detox. Highly recommend this restaurant. Loved this restaurant! Will definitely be a return customer.”

“Every flavor is delicious. Bread pudding is the secret jam. S'mores Amore is a Downtown Norfolk staple!”

“I come here at least two times a week. Best wings of all the east coast with hundreds of combinations of spices. I prefer stupid hot. Hands down Riley the bartender does a phenomenal job taking care of me. 10 out of 10 been coming here for years and many more to come.”

“I love the atmosphere at Coasters coffee . I always enjoy my time there and appreciate the baristas recommendations as well.”

“Such an incredible experience! Popped in unexpectedly and we have found a new spot. The space is gorgeous and so open. I had the lavender coffee which was just mind blowing and hubby had the vanilla cold foam. We will definitely be returning!!!!”

“Awesomeness All around...Food, Drinks, Specials and Bills ❤❤🍻🏈🇺🇸💪”

“The signature bowls with Yum Yum Shrimp and Ahi Tuna, Oh my! Delicious!! The strawberry lemonade made with real strawberries! Must try! Thank you to Blair and Tee for taking great care of us! Be back soon!”

“Love the accepting atmosphere 🖤 seriously means so much! My gf and I will be coming back often!”

“I LOVE EL RODEO. THEY ARE SO PERSONABLE AND INVITING. THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND AT THIS POINT THEY ARE FAMILY.”

“This place is THE local lunch spot. We walked in and there was 4-5 groups having work lunches. The service is great even though there was only one waitress. She was very attentive and funny. And kept us updated when our food had to be remade because it wasn't exactly how we ordered it and she would only serve us the best. The place is small and the parking is tight but its totally worth it.”

“The BEST oatmeal I’ve ever had. Followed by the best bagel and smoothie I’ve ever had. I’m in love.”

“Just a quick stop end friendly staff”

“Went 2 - 3 times last year. Good food and good service. I'd love to get their salsa receipe though. I enjoyed it a lot better than most.”

“There is no Jamaican restaurant in Hampton Roads that can top MP's Norfolk!! As a person who is a pescetarian it's of grate pleasure to see more delicious choices to meet my dietary needs. I never had a bad meal, and I always purchase for me and my family for the pass 20 + years. Merry Christmas to the MP's Family”

“Born in Philadelphia, 1946. If you want a better Italian sub, Philadelphia is 7.5 hours North.”

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving.

“Omg the food is delicious! Wouldn’t have ever tried it. Do too it being a not so great neighborhood! I order chicken wings and shrimp fried rice! So fresh and delicious. I will eat here when I want Chinese!”

“Without question the best Italian food in the Tidewater area. A little pricey maybe but well worth it. I have tried almost everything on the menu at one time or another. All great!!!!”

“Do you want the best pizza in Hampton Roads ? The next time you are in Norfolk going to a show or just looking for a great place to eat, don’t look anywhere else stop by Chichos Backstage you will not be disappointed!”

“This is by far the best restuarant in Norfolk. Chef Ticha is a magician with food. The prawns were the best I have ever had in the USA. All the Food prepared and presented beautifully. I come here without exception when I’m in Norfolk. The bartenders are fabulous as well and create some fabulous cocktails.”

“The setting is gorgeous, but the interior could use a designer for a more coastal environment. The crab cakes are the best in the area, but they need better healthy sides. I also had the best soft shell crab in the area there a few months ago. Hire a chef versus a cook. More healthy versions of seafood are needed versus mostly fried and salted. As an excellent cook, I could turn this place into a hot neighborhood spot that people could walk to/from. Many times the price does not meet the quality of food unless I order the crab cakes. I have seen waiters bring out broccoli with worms moving around and florets that have overstayed their time in the kitchen.”

“My wife and I have consistently enjoyed Swell for several years. Service and food are exceptional! However, I'm posting this review because of something that occurred this evening.

“I had my daughter’s bridal shower catered by East Beach Catering for a Sunday Brunch. They did a fantastic job with the food, displays and setup. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and presentation. Not to mention that everything was so delicious. I will definitely be using them again for any future events,”

“I have ordered from Cj twice. I love the braised collard greens and the Virgin Mimosa top with raspberries! It is so delicious!! It is nice to have a private chef to come to your house and cook for you, without the wait time and annoying long stand in the line . I had an gourment meal at home in a nice quiet place, without the all the holiday nose and chaos.”

“I visited The General Public restaurant for the first time in September 2025, and I visited several times thereafter! The food is scrumptiously delicious and well prepared. And they offer great weekly lunch specials. Go, see, taste and enjoy for yourself!!”

“Our waitress was too busy doing a party and completely forgot about us. We had to ask for everything over and over again. She forgot to bring almost everything or we had to ask randon people for stuff .We had to have certain things taken off the bill. We asked for a to go box 3 times manager had to give us one. I can see that we were her only customers in the front area. Besides, the group that she had to handle, but she had help she just blatantly forgot about us. Food was excellent. We were just there way too long and got very aggravated.”

“Stopped by for the first time today. Billio was extremely nice & walked us through the whole menu as four tv screens full of options can be overwhelming. There was no rush to make decisions, everything was cooked to order. Appreciate you guys!!”

“I come here at least two times a week. Best wings of all the east coast with hundreds of combinations of spices. I prefer stupid hot. Hands down Riley the bartender does a phenomenal job taking care of me. 10 out of 10 been coming here for years and many more to come.”

He could have looked the other way but he saw that I needed something and he stopped to help even though that is not part of his job criteria.

Absolutely exemplary service from all the employees there both times I've been there. If I was management they would all be in line for a raise.

It's very tough working on those hard concrete and tile floors on your feet all day or night long I know because I do it as a part-time job and I know so the service that I received was very appreciated and I gave them all tips. I tipped more this visit than the cost of my meal!!!
Now that saying something about the service you receive at a restaurant.

I hope they keep all these team members and that I see them again on my next visit a truly exceptional team.
Sincerly,

“Went with a friend for the first time Friday night. Service was great, the staff was friendly and the blueberry lime drop was delicious. We ordered appetizers and our meals. Appetizer came out hot, when our food arrived , I order the ribeye wasnt given a ribeye and it was warm not hot ended up taking most of our food to do. They might wanna change it to steak and not lie about it being a ribeye.”
