Stopped in to support the owner of the well known "Ray Rays". Good classic Americana stayled dinner which is small and quaint. Staff was pleasant and served up some great coffee. Ordered up the following: -Cream chipped beef over toast w/ two eggs over easy -Eggs, pancake and Ham Got the orders but bacon came instead of ham.. One grill chef doing his best. Creamed chipped beef was spot on, pancakes had great flavor buy were a bit thick. Batter may have needed a bit more water. Wait time took a bit, but enjoyed a second coffee. Single chef was doing all he could. I would request that the original "Loco Moco" be added to the menu! 4****

Visited VA Beach the 1st week of April. The entire week I just wanted a hearty breakfast, not some hotel bagels, waffles and cereal. Halfway through my week, I had to try something. After searching the strip, I decided to send my daughter over to Moxy to try out Belvedere (To Go). This was the best breakfast we had our entire week on the beach. The food was prepared just as ordered. In the pic is the breakfast bowl I had. The grits were a side order, but I dumped it into the box with the bowl. This bowl was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned really well; even the cheese grits was tasty. My daughter had the French toast, also with a side of grits (pictured as well). Scrambled eggs and sausage. Everything tasted phenomenal and the prices are extremely reasonable for the amount of food you receive. Check out the menu for the specifics and stop in if you just want a nice hearty breakfast. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely make this my go to spot whenever I visit VA Beach.

Only had breakfast but I wish I stayed here. Beautiful property, amazing lobby, right on the ocean but has a pool on site. Breakfast service was great - greeted by the cook upon entry and taken care of by wait staff, the food was served quickly and was exactly as ordered. Clean and well-lighted, the restaurant is long and offers a view onto the street and out to the ocean.

This was a great hidden gem. By far, the cleanest restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. AND the staff was terrific, AND the food was fantastic. Really great breakfast made fresh to order. I loved the French toast, eggs, and sausages. The grits were perfect, too!

The most hospitable and welcoming experience of our 4 day stay in Virginia Beach. The food was delicious and the staff was by far, the most friendly and accommodating that I’ve interacted with in years. The grill is in full view and the cooks wore gloves when preparing food. Even the staff side conversations were mindful and professional. Everyone seemed to be happy to be at work. This is a true gem, highly recommend!

Belvedere Coffee Shop is a Virginia Beach gem! The new location inside the Moxy Hotel is stunning, with bright, warm vibes and unbeatable boardwalk ocean views. The Restaurant Week special was amazing—biscuits & gravy, fruit-stacked waffles, eggs, bacon, grits, and more for just $15! My husband and I split it, and it was delicious. Our server, Thomas, was super friendly and quick, making the experience even better. The retro vibe with cobalt blue accents, counter seating, and cozy booths made it feel classic yet fresh. Highly recommend for a perfect beachside breakfast!

I am honestly surprised at the previous reviews. This has to be the worst breakfast we have had in a long time. The bacon was dried and burnt to a crisp. Completely petrified. The eggs were fine but the hash browns were shredded and burnt with the same burnt flavor as the bacon. I watched them take the bacon out of a stainless container already cooked and recook it to serve. HORRIBLE! French toast was not great. Way too much vanilla in the batter and they used regular thin sliced white bread. We were never asked if we needed more coffee. I had to ask for silverware. Just a bunch of young people running this restaurant with what seems like very little training in hospitality and basic cooking. Bonvoy should take notice since it’s a poor reflection on their brand.

If you have been to the previous iconic Belvedere Coffee shop that was located where the Hyatt Place now sits you become nostalgic. New owners painstakingly recreated the 1960's shop and did a fantastic job recreating the vibe. The new location is in the Moxie Hotel further South. They have their own entrance. Parking is easiest by hotel valet, but off season easy to locate options. On season more challenging for pay lots, but it's just across the street and convenient. I have fond memories of the old place and even though they made every attempt to recreate it's still a miss without the beach view. They elected to not position the shop a few hundred feet back which would have been ideal. Anyone that knows the Belvedere will tell you their signature is the Eye Opener sandwich which I did get. Orders are by counter only, no wait staff unless this has changed. The young employees that helped were energetic and friendly. Food came out in about 10 minutes and was delivered to my retro style blue booth. The visual looked great and tasted fantastic! The Eye Opener consist of an onion roll, tomato, fried egg and choice of ham or bacon. If you're looking for a diner style atmosphere come to the Belvedere Coffee Shop. I hope to return soon.

Had a lovely diner styled breakfast at Belvedere, inside the Moxy Hotel. The cozy and clean diner design right by the beach is very charming. We got two types of cheese on the ham and cheese omelette and it was delicious. It was my first time trying creamed beef on toast, which is cool but I don't know if I'd go for it again. The pancakes are really nice, fluffy and aromatic. I liked that their jams for toast included the selection of apple and orange marmalades on top of the usual strawberry and grape. Apple is my fav now & the hot sauce they carry really impressed me with its flavor Lastly, I appreciated their flexibility to whip up an "affogato" with their coffee and ice cream. Our server was very outgoing which made the vibes even cooler. It does get super busy & you'll have to be more patient for service around 9am even for a Monday.

My partner and I did not know what we wanted for breakfast. We knew we wanted a breakfast sandwich. We looked on yelp, and we looked on DoorDash, but nothing came to mind. Then we came across this restaurant. It was the best decision of our vacation. We both ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for nine dollars. And my partner got a side of fries. I also got the sliders with a side of onion rings. All of this came up to a total of about $35. When the food was cooking, we could just smell how good the cook was putting her love into this food. We knew that we were going to get something better than waffle house and way better than IHOP. Once the waitress came back and said, here's your food and took it up, so we took it up to our room and , I cut the sandwich diagonal, because it was on Texas toast. I took the first bite of the sandwich and it was not soggy. It was not salty. It was the perfect combination of bacon, egg and cheese. I highly recommend getting this sandwich it does come with a side of hashbrowns. I would have recommended to ask them to be fried a little bit longer.

This is a must stop for a diner atmosphere breakfast or lunch. It's located in the Moxy hotel and it's replicate of the original Belvedere Diner that was torn down a few years ago. It's small inside so it's not great for large groups. We sat at the counter and we got there early on a Sunday morning. Hardly anyone there but by the time we left the place was packed! I got the breakfast sandwich with a side of hash browns. Loved the Texas toast. It was more than enough food. The scrambled egg was perfect - not overcooked at all. Absolutely loved sitting at the counter and watching the cooks who were providing us with some funny entertainment. The cook; Meghan, was wonderful and made sure we enjoyed our food. Very friendly and truly cared that the food was good. Our waitress Maddie took great care of us. I will absolutely be back.

Love this place! It is your classic diner inside one of the coolest hotels at the oceanfront (The Moxy)! Prices are very reasonable and gratuity already included in the check. Service was friendly and food good! We will definitely be back!

Virginia Beach, Virginia - the "Belvedere Diner South" located in the "Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront" on 12th & Atlantic Avenue offers a super oceanfront view of the beach ... the ORIGINAL "Belvedere Diner" (since 1968) was originally on 36th & Atlantic Avenue, but was demolished in 2019 ... my 1st meal at the "Belvedere South Diner" was pretty darn nice - the "spirit" of the original "Belvedere Diner" can be felt here ... the smile-riffic serving team of "Shannon" & "Kirsten" made me feel glad I selected an 18 block "Wheelie-Nelson" oceanfront breakfast cruise today ... grill-master "Ryan" served up a good LK'n "Creamed Chipped Beef" over hash browns & toast (aka "SOS" for any WW II veterans) - darn tasty too ... super-server "Shannon" introduced me to "Team Belvedere" members - "Kirsten", "Ryan" & "Tim" ... the view, the atmosphere, the diner-seating and the interactive staff have won a new groupie - "Run-A-Way Bill" will return ... server "Megan" (not here today) gets an honorable mention for her smile-riffic greeting on my 1st peek at the "Belvedere South Diner" on "Friday da' 13th" - her positive-attitude smile made me anxious to return ... #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabBelvedereDinerSouth #BelvedereCoffeeShopSouth #rabDiner #Diner #rabMoxyVB #MoxyOceanfront #rabWheelieNelson #rabVirginiaBeachOceanfront #rabVirginiaBeach #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia 10.18.23 Wednesday

We had such a great experience here that we came two days in a row for breakfast during our stay at the Moxy! We're a family of four, and everything--from the food to the service--was spot on. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance made it even better: lots of natural light and relaxing music in the background. Shallah, Maddie, and Hannah were all incredibly friendly and efficient, making us feel right at home. And a huge shoutout to Ian and Telly for cooking up some truly amazing meals. Highly recommend!

The Belvedere South hits the spot as a real diner. It's newly remodeled and fresh. Our waitress was very attentive. It was a great place to watch the sun rise over a crisp morning over the Atlantic. The Breakfast Bowl hit the spot and I recommend it for people that enjoy sautéed peppers and onions. It was great overall experience.

This is a great place to eat breakfast. The omelette are huge and fluffy. The pancakes and French toast are old school good. Hash browns are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The staff is super nice and the prices are very reasonable. Love the old school cafe feeling as well!

While staying at the Moxy hotel we saw this cute little diner attached. It's not huge at all with one row of booths against the wall and one counter's length of seats facing the cooks. But the staff and food were amazing! This place can get a bit busy but usually you can get a seat pretty quickly. The menu is not extensive with it being mostly diner breakfast and lunch options that have been staples of roadside diners for years (eggs and bacon, pancakes, blt's and so on) but they are done just a little bit better here. Nothing fancy or pretentious but fresh tasting ingredients cooked right in front of you so you know what's happening with your food. They also have a few adult beverages such as mimosas, manmosas and a local drink called a "Waterman's Orange Crush" that was spectacular and was made with a local vodka, fresh squeezed oranges and some other stuff. Prices are great, staff is extremely friendly with our waitress Courtney being wonderfully attentive but not TOO attentive. You know what I mean. Anyways, amazing decor, food and staff. Must try for yourself!

The scenery overall of the moxy hotel and the diner was amazing, we were wowed when we first walked in. However, our experience shifted when we were rushed to sit down and order because they were closing soon at 2pm (it was 12:58). From this point on our expectations were let down by the poor service and food quality. Our pancakes were burnt and tasteless, the chefs & servers were very loud and unprofessional (you would think the restaurant was crowded of people). Every now and then, the other servers would remove things we were using from our table while we were eating (ketchup bottle & syrup). The other server was the rudest of them all, we saw a family come in and he rudely turned them away because of "last call", he even made them feel dumb by saying "didn't you see the last call sign on the door? It says 1:30pm!" Overall, weird restaurant, servers make you feel uncomfortable

Meh. The place itself was small but modern looking. My friend and I sat at the counter. The service was not great. They forgot about one of our coffees, and it took a while to get our food. A few people came in after us and got their food first. The food was great. Eggs were flavorful. The bacon was perfectly crispy, as were the hash browns. And the pancakes were perfection. So tasty and fluffy. The food is really good, but I'd probably call in to pick up.

This place has been open for the past hour and we walked in and waited for someone to come help us, we even sat ourself down but the staff was in the back talking FOREVER. Couldn't find or make the time to come out and greet their guest. They never came out so we left. Ridiculous!

Cute little spot, super friendly staff, the food tasted great better then most breakfast and it wasn't pricy at all. They've only been open a month so it's might take a little long for your food but it's understandable and worth the wait.
