So where do I begin? The place was a pleasant surprise. I had a few qualms about the style In which a couple of dishes were served but overall? The flavors were good. I would go back. We had the "crispy Brussels" as an appetizer. They were served dressed in a bowl and therefore they were not crispy... Rather they were floppy Brussels but tasty all the same maybe consider a name change on the menu. We ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich. It's served with fries and we ordered fried green tomatoes, which I prefer with a lighter breading, but with the green goddess dressing it seemed to work well. Delicious. My cohort on this visit also had the Caesar salad and corn chowder both of which I reportedly heard were delicious as well thanks for the pleasant surprise rustic spoon and a great meal !

I visited with family over the Christmas holiday and enjoyed the items I ordered, sweet potato biscuits with ham and gumbo. I had never visited before and would go back. My family also enjoyed their meals. There was a significant wait despite open tables and we learned they seat in that manner so as not to overwhelm the kitchen. It's very considerate of the staff and is a business decision my sister uses at her restaurants

Overall great quality food, great flavor, and good price. Ordered the chicken and waffles and “The Spoon” (eggs, bacon, potato, and toast) and tried their apple pie pancakes. The chicken and waffles drizzled with hot honey were one of my top 3 on chicken and waffles I’ve had. For the other breakfast plate, the scrambled eggs were really creamy and buttery. But the toast was heavily burnt, almost like charcoal, but I suspect it’s a one off thing? Even the potatoes were seasoned well. The apple pie pancakes tasted like apple pie! I wish there were more chunks of apple in it, we had one piece of apple 😅 We didn’t try any of their drinks, but they do have a bar. Overall, we would come back again. The price, flavor, quality of food along with portion size is great. Service was ok. Surprisingly there is a second floor with additional seating!

What a gem! As a visitor to Virginia Beach, The Rustic Spoon was such a fun find — cozy vibe, amazing food, and top-tier service. We all loved our food. I made a few tweaks to the shrimp and grits, and the chef Kevin, personally came over to make sure I knew how the change might affect the flavor—now that’s service. Turns out, it was still absolutely delicious! He even tweaked my drink to perfection when I mentioned it was a little strong. Both he and our server, Everett, were personable, attentive, and genuinely caring. It felt like five-star hospitality. They turned a great meal into a great experience. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town—thanks, guys.

If this isn’t on one of your favorite brunch spots in the Hampton Roads, you’re doing brunch wrong. If you can, I recommend making a reservation as they can get pretty busy quickly during brunch. Parking is fairly easy to secure in the parking lot out front. Today I wanted to deviate from my normal carnitas hash and I ordered the special of the day, carne asada hash that was loaded with meat and fresh jalapeños and crumbled cheese. So fresh and flavorful with every bite. Another sweet treat from the specials, we tried their cinnamon roll with extra additions of candied walnuts and caramel rum butter. My boyfriend got his usual shrimp and grits—absolutely to die for with the savory sauce and plentiful amount of shrimp and sausage. The mimosa flight is always our go to pick for drinks. Our server was attentive and we always enjoy a lovely, filling brunch from the Rustic Spoon! Rating: 5/5
