a fantastic breakfast/lunch place (finally). it's so hard to find a decent breakfast or lunch in virginia beach. nothing wrong with waffle house or ihop, but there are only so many rooty tooty fresh n' fruities i can consume in a given month.

located a stone's throw away from the beach in an old beach home, the setting of the restaurant suits its style very well: the atmosphere is very homey and casual, allowing the diner to relax amongst the visible controlled chaos going on in the open kitchen. the closed patio also adds a nice touch, and in the winter, seats near the fireplace give it more of a touch of home.
service has always been pleasant and timely, no matter how long the wait is. most of the selections are what you'd expect from a breakfast place - pancakes, eggs with choice of meat, etc, are found. the difference here is that they actually do a good job by being thorough and can get the food out quickly, which is something other local breakfast places should take note on. other choices like "the stroke" add a nice element of humor and are just as delicious. all selections are very affordable, which is a hard find on the oceanfront.
breakfast and lunch done right with consistently excellent service - the reasons i continue to go every time i'm in virginia beach.
