LeGrand Kitchen

We showed up with no reservation on a Friday evening just a few minutes after they opened, we didn't even think about possibly needing a reservation! There were maybe 2 people in the restaurant so we didn't know what to expect, we didn't know we'd needed to call ahead! The hostess looked at the seating and reservation books for the night and graciously fit us in. I say "fit us in" because within 10 minutes the place started to fill in quick as people started showing up for *their* reservations! Food: We got the grilled cabbage appetizer and the pork belly appetizer, both were delicious! The grilled cabbage was our favorite. My partner got the Legrand Burger and he really enjoyed it. It was a little on the juicy side so be careful! The bottom bun was a but soggy but the flavor was great! I got the steak frite special. The steak was tender and the fingerling potatoes were the perfect size side. The house sodas are so delicious! My partner got the pineapple passionfruit and he had to pace himself so he didn't gulp it all down before the food arrived. Bathrooms: There are 2 single stall bathrooms. They are gender neutral and very clean! There was a nice candle burning in there and a few tampons and toothpicks. Very thoughtful! Overall, super happy with the service and food! Everyone was super friendly. It gets a bit loud as it gets busy but you can still hold a conversation. It's not super romantic, but if those are the vibes you're going for maybe go super early or much later. If you're a single diner or have no more than 4 people you could probably get away with not having reservations if you show up right as they open! Otherwise, you might want to make some reservations ahead of time.

Good food is healing, and LeGrand Kitchen knows the art of nourishment. The shrimp & grits were flawless—fresh, comforting, and bursting with flavor. The cornbread pudding was golden, sweet, and earthy, the kind of dish that lingers in your memory. The chef’s commitment to quality ingredients and creative execution is undeniable. And while this meal was extraordinary, I’ll definitely be back to try their burger—I’ve heard it’s a masterpiece in its own right. This place is a true gem.

this place is absolutely amazing. It has been on my radar for two months now. I had to have that burger and that burger was just as good as I anticipated it to be. The bartender made some lovely drinks and was very informative to us about Mezcal as I love Mezcal. The fish of the day was rockfish so that was delicious as well as the lemon dessert we had!!! I highly recommend going ASAP!!☺️. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well!

Saturday night dinner for 4. The food was good overall. Burger was excellent, deserves all the praise it gets - super fresh, super hot, excellent ingredients. A lot of love in that burger. The flounder entree was pretty good, no complaints. The issue we had with Le Grand was the service. From the beginning, our server seemed annoyed by us - zero smiles, and practically rolled her eyes when we asked her about the options for kids and vegetarians (even though the menu actually says "ask about our options for kids and vegetarians"!). We observed her standing around a lot, yet she couldn't be bothered to ask us how our meals were, or if we needed anything else. But of course, she managed to be pleasant when dropping off the check, as she hoped for a decent tip. Super disappointing. I might go back to Le Grand if we're in that part of Norfolk again, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

The atmosphere was great. Staffing was nice. I had the braised lamb. AWESOME!! we also had the burger and pork belly. A must try.

We had been hearing about LeGrand for YEARS. Took us forever to finally get around to it and the hype did not disappoint. My wife and I keep telling each other we need to go back!

They have a limited menu but it covers all the dishes and everything is very good. They tout the burger and it is amazing. Several of us, including me had it and the flavor was unique and awesome. Good drinks , good service and unique desserts . Excellent prices. Overall a surprise and we'll be back. You need reservations for sure. They're only open for dinner.

So LeGrand is known for their burger and this was my second visit. My first visit I thought the burger lacked flavor and was smaller. But the second time they totally lived up to the hype and totally redeemed themselves. Amazing. Everything else was superb.
