28 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Portsmouth

“Went to restaurant on my son birthday Friday morning around 11 the food was delicious well seasoned definitely soul food cooking was my first time there & surely will not be my last. Keep the good food taste the love in it ?“

“Staff was very welcoming on this day 8/6/2025 around 12noon our first time in this part of Virginia from New York City and the welcoming service along with food was amazing. Will definitely recommend this. Location and we will try to have breakfast here once more before leaving this weekend to go back North.“

“Really quiet, could use some music. Can here people in the kitchen talking on the phone, wait staff was wonderful very attentive.food was great, and the amount given was decent compared to the price. I had the hamburger steak and eggs, he got the seafood omelette. He says that it was good.“

“Don't put powdered sugar on your pancakes unless you're going to advertise it. When somebody tells you they can't have powdered sugar on their pancakes don't try to scrape it off and flip them upside down and hand them back. Get another Chef because the cook and the kitchen today was rude and did not care about any of the people that were there. Took forever to get food and when it did come everything except for the bacon and the potatoes was inedible. Listened to other people in the restaurant return food and listen to the chef give lip about it and say it was not his problem. Waitress was pleasant, she even tried to tell the cook that he couldn't scrape powdered sugar off the pancake but he did it anyway, only downside about her was that she was concerned about her phone than anything else. Will never return again. I should have paid attention that the reviews on this page are two years or more old. definitely not the place that was reviewed previously. Don't know what's happened but it's not good.“

“service was guick, fast and professional. 👍👍👍“

“Food, service, and drinks were great. We come here often and every time is wonderful. Can’t beat the half off Mimosas for back to school. Perfect for us after sending the kids off on their first day. Thanks Rebecca for your great service and recommendations!!! We will be back again soon!!“

“We stopped in at the Norfolk Biscuit Belly for brunch today! The staff are super friendly and the comfort food enjoyable! We met Andrew & his co worker outside on our way in and asked for their recommendations, they both said the CHICK 'N DITCH THE WAFFLE & THE ROCKWELL plus recommend the home fries! We decided to order all 3 and they were yummy! Hubs actually got the Rockwell supreme which includes an egg and bacon, a must! We also had a strawberry mimosa and tequila sunrise which were good. We signed up for the Belly Bucks rewards program and look forward to the free Bonuts on our next visit. I hope what we spent today gets added to our rewards balance!“

“What a cute step back in time! Friends invited me to go to breakfast this morning. It was really good! I cannot eat shellfish, but I understand they have a wonderful She Crab Soup. I wish it was closer to me because I would use the pharmacy, too. I prefer independent pharmacies over the chains, but no longer have one near me.“

“Spacious, clean, great service and friendly atmosphere. Crab, shrimp and spinach omelette was delicious.“

“I came here a few weeks back and had the best experience ever! Today I brought my wife here for breakfast and she loved her food! The Atmosphere is pleasant and the staff were very friendly! The manager Carla Thompson is doing a great job! We’ll be back!“

“This business came up in my FB feed while visiting the Town Center area. I had not heard of it before, so as a bread lover it was a must try. I ordered online the night before received notifications when my order was ready; which was on time and let’s say that bacon, egg w/ jelly biscuit did NOT disappoint. I WILL be returning! so glad I ordered 2 plan biscuits for the road.“

“Amazing service, great vibes, perfect morning breakfast to go!“

“Called in my order to surprise my fiancé with breakfast for his birthday. 🎂 I mentioned this to Karen, when I picked it up she told me she put a candle in his pancake. Such a kind gesture. She even wrote Happy Birthday 🎉 on the container. So very sweet. Excellent customer service. I always encounter a great experience whether I’m dining in, calling in, or ordering online. But I most definitely wanted to shout out The lovely Caring Karen. As always I highly recommend Belaire Pancake House.“

“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“

“😀😀😀😀😀👍👍Great food“

“We had not returned to eat at this restaurant for awhile because the service was so bad , short staffing .
However our most recent visit service was fantastic with a big smile and best deals in town or anywhere on the Favs menu“

“Great food, fast service,friendly staff healthy choices“

“Those moments that short staff wows you. We are traveling and found this location late at night. There was 1 employee for the entire restaurant front and back. He was friendly, professional and cooked the best food we've had this trip. Service was so good we went back for breakfast. There was slightly more staff but still short handed. We had a server she said she was new. Only 19yrs old I cant remember her name. Very sweet and attentive. All staff was quick to say hi and acknowledge us. Food was phenomenal again. Would 1000% recommend this location. I'm not usually an IHOP fan but they knocked it out of the park!“
