Sunday Brunch Buffet

“Believe the hype… hands down the absolute BEST soul food around. It has been extremely hard to find a good, consistent soul food place, and let me tell you, there isnt a place around that can compare. The entrees and side are delish. A little pricey, but well worth it. The food is made to order so, there is a little wait, but when I tell you its worth it… you will not be disappointed.“

“Always greeted immediately. Small take out only location, sometimes it may be a slight wait if a line has formed but moves quickly and you won't even mind, as the owner engages with each customer as he fixes their food. The prices pretty much match up with other similar food places, the food tastes great, and nobody can beat the portion sizes here. It's definitely worth checking out“

“This was my first time at 7 cities the service was wonderful everyone had a great vibe about them. Bree waited on me with the most beautiful smile and took care of me. My pork chop wasn't quite to my liking and the owner Miss Dion took care of me and two other customers without charging us extra. The oxtails were amazing the macaroni and cabbage with seasoned to perfection. This will be my go to spot for Jamaican food. MP Island was my number one but now 7cities is by far the best in the city of Norfolk Virginia thank you so much ladies and gentlemen for taking good care of me. Hugs and kisses 10 out of 10 taste buds approved“

“My family and I had brunch here. I wasn't sure what to expect but I gave it a try and I was glad I did. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it came with mac and cheese so I had that on the side. Normally I don't enjoy mac and cheese at restaurants but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was delicious! I washed down my food with a mango mimosa, yum! The service was a bit slow but that was probably because the restaurant was packed and I understand why. They played really good music but it was very loud. I would definitely eat here again.“
