The Rustic Spoon

Dropped by for a quick meal after running errands. As always, my meal was fabulous. The blackened shrimp, Parmesan risotto and green beans were each perfectly cooked. Truly one of my favorite places for a consistently wonderful experience.

Best burger in Virginia Beach! Service was great and friendly. Staff will definitely go back.

Walking into the restaurant for brunch and being immediately greeted by a sign that says we're only allowed 90 minutes at the table was very off putting. There was no wait and plenty of tables were available during our entire visit, but we immediately felt unwelcome and rushed. Instead of a leisurely brunch with a couple of cocktails, I felt like I needed to order, eat, and get out. That feeling was magnified when we had 4 different people asking to clear our plates before we were finished eating. I know 90 minutes is the standard, but with plenty of open tables, I'm not sure what the rush was. In the end, we were there for only 45 minutes. The food was fine. Service was very slow initially but then became nearly aggressive after we had been served.

Always great food, family friendly. Food was a little slow to come bc a big party was in front of us, but the staff kept us informed and were gracious about the wait time. Really great experience. We sat outside to hopefully disturb fewer ppl with our toddlers

Best grits I’ve ever had in my life. Scallops & steak were perfectly cooked, incredible flavors, and excellent service. Thanks Chris!

We ordered 3 steaks, ( med, med rare and med well) they all came out well and shoe leather tough. Crab cakes were just ok.
Crab dip was great and service was good. We would go back but not order the surf and turf.

I'll be honest, I was hesitant to try this place because I'm not usually a southern food girly. But this place was like a warm hug in Grandma's kitchen. The food was high quality and comforting, the service was quick, and everyone there was hospitable. The place itself is very clean, well maintained, and the music was at a cozy volume with a playlist that suits the low key ambiance of this place very well. This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a nice meal, alone or with others! I loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back! ❤️

Chris was our server and I don’t want anyone else as our server bc he was the best server we have had in so long! He was attentive, engaging, he wasn’t pushy with upselling but definitely made some recommendations and we took them! He was friendly and welcoming and natural. The food was so delicious! There is definitely an actual chef back there in the kitchen. There was so much detail and flavors in our meals. My husband has the biscuits and gravy and it was gone so fast! I had the Carnitas Hash. That is a must get! Our 4 year old had a side - pancake - it was a lot bigger than I thought and surprisingly he ate almost all of it! He kept saying “wow this good!” I wish I had taken pictures bc the presentation was great! The atmosphere was wonderful, the presentation of my hot herbal tea (probably Chris making it fancy) was upscale but it still felt comfortable and like home. The Rustic Spoon makes total sense.

Enjoyed a delicious brunch and chose the special of a delicious pesto and burrata grilled cheese and tomato bisque. The service was friendly and our table was ready since we reserved ahead online. Excellent meal.

Our server, Kate, was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. We ordered the Crabcake Benedict, Crabcake Bites, Firecracker Shrimp, Fried Calamari, and Seafood Omelet…everything was delicious! The shareables being 50% off every Thursday was an awesome bonus. The atmosphere was clean and well-maintained, especially the restroom, which made us feel comfortable and cared for. We had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to return to try more of their menu. Highly recommend!
