What People Are Saying
from Google"Service was good but I think the food was just mid. We had the crab cake balls (Banging Balls), Light Tower Omelette, "The Hangover", and the Chicken & Waffles. In short, the steak was super salty, the omelette was a little bland, but the Chicken & Waffles were decent. Hash was good but the tater tots were pretty standard. The Hangover dish was a classic American style breakfast platter with toast, pancakes, steak, etc. The items apart from the steak were standard. Nothing special. The steak was cooked decently but very salty for some reason. The Light Tower Omelette was cooked well - shrimp was cooked and not chewy, small amount of crab, but the dish itself tasted bland. It seemed like it could use the salt from the steak. Some parts had cheese which helped to bring flavor but the cheese was sparse. The Chicken & waffles were the best item but still not extremely good or the best I had. Breading had a good amount of seasoning & black pepper and you could taste it. Chicken was cooked well, and the crust is slightly crunchy. Waffles themselves were light but crunchy. Hash was great with the mixed peppers and onions - good amount of flavor and good texture from the potato. Crab cake balls were nice and slightly on the salty side but that's because of the taste of Old Bay. It was good but I don't think it was worth the price. I've had better up in Maryland. Service was very quick and the atmosphere is very inviting. A lot of shiny and decorative fixtures that make this a great brunch spot. Outdoor seating was very inviting as well with the sunlight and abundance of greenery. It could have been the dishes that we got that weren't the best, but I don't think that I would come back here again."
"Wonderful brunch/lunch spot! Had the OG eggs Benedict and the crab cake. Delicious! The Bloody Mary’s are amazing and the staff is out of this world. By far the best place we have eaten since we arrived, and we have eaten in some good places. Definitely adding this to our list of faves. Oh and the key lime pie-do not miss."
"I loved this quirky eatery! The decor was so interesting and fun! The food was delicious and great drinks! The drink specials for the season were amazing! Try the pumpkin beer with cinnamon-sugar rim!"
"Always love coming here! It’s a bit cold on a not busy morning bring a sweater. The staff are inviting and helpful. The food portions are large and satisfying. If you like alcohol the mimosas are delicious as well as many other seasonal drinks."
"This place does not disappoint with BIG portions! We’re talking 8” pancakes. We’ve always enjoyed coming here every time we visit Virginia Beach,and will continue to do so! Menu has a very good variety from typical breakfast plates to more healthy salads and somewhere in between. Tip: plates can easily be shared by two people. You can see almost everyone leaving with a doggy bag! Add it to your must-visit restaurants in VA Beach!"
