The Stockpot Virginia Beach

I have been to The Stockpot a couple of times now, and it’s always a delight. Go on a Monday to enjoy their Ramen Night! They have their standard options, but there’s a delicious special every now and then. I got the sunrise ramen which had tomatoes, basil, spinach, and amazing spices that created such a robust flavor profile. Also 10/10 on drink selections, vegan and gluten-free options, and service. The staff are all so kind and personable. Great vibes and a tasty meal!

A Birthday Highlight at The Stockpot I recently celebrated my 50th birthday in Virginia Beach and spent quite a bit of time at The Stockpot, including having them create my birthday cake! Months before arriving, I reached out about a custom cake for my "Glitter & Gold" themed party. The lead baker, Becca, was wonderful; over just a few emails, we designed a perfect treat. She accommodated my request for a vegan cake at no extra cost. The 12" Snickerdoodle cake was covered in edible gold leaf and easily served 40–50 people. It was moist, flavorful, and a highlight of the party! My other visits were just as memorable. A friend and I attended Ramen Night, which featured multiple ramen creations. The staff was knowledgeable and I chose the Spicy Ramen and a specialty basil vodka cocktail that were recommended, and both were fantastic! I also stopped in for breakfast with a few friends the day after my party. The portions were surprisingly filling for their size and, of course, delicious! I highly recommend The Stockpot for their incredible "comfort cuisine." I can't wait to visit Va Beach again so that I can try even more.

Pleasantly surprised with how our visit turned out to be. We got the table instantly but We waited 15-20 mins to be attended by the waitress, since they appeared to be short staffed on a busy Saturday afternoon. However the food was delicious. I would recommend their OG Fried Rice and Avocado Toast. Both of our dishes were perfectly made. Definitely worth visiting again.

Great atmosphere, staff, and food. I went for breakfast and had the best breakfast skillet I ever had. Flavorful with fresh ingredients. The Avocado Toast was delicious as well. And don't forget the flight of Mimosas! They were very refreshing. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone to at least give it a try and be amazed.

Delicious farm to table fresh food combined with a talent for complimentary flavor combinations. Lots of gluten free and vegan options (that were absolutely delicious). Super friendly staff with a love for the food they serve, and making guests feel welcome. We tried a lot of different places to eat in Virginia Beach and this was our top pick!

Really great spot with great food. My fav is the fried rice with eggs and kimchi. I have ordered it a lot and the quality is the same every single time. They're consistent and its good quality food!! I have only ordered to go, so i bet eating in would be even better. I will try someday!

This place is outstanding for brunch. Been a couple times while in town and everything has been really delicious. We were in a hurry today and the staff were very accommodating and even mindful of our time. The avocado toast was perfectly smothered in a limey/lemony salty sweet dressing. The eggs Benedict had an awesome twist on the classic sauce with country ham and a perfectly poached egg.

I’m pleasantly surprised how good the new menu is! We ordered Baja breakfast skillet and carnitas in a toast. A whole lot of flavors for each entree. This is our favorite spot and typically order the carnitas. They modified it a little bit which I love. This place is a gem! Definitely worth coming multiple times!

It had been a while since being here but im so happy I went recently. The chicken noodle is very good (what i used to purchase regularly with bone broth to go!) lots of cilantro! This time I had the special which was a Ramen dish... kimchi coconut chicken something....see my picture. It was awesome and i took a lot home, had leftovers twice! Also remember the squash soup being amazingly delicious and the minestrone (on special). The service as always was super friendly, attentive and helpful! They were working hard on that monday!! I love the open kitchen, watching all the dishes coming out, its bright, very clean, has bar seating, long booth with tables and chairs, on big hightop, and outdoor seating! Cant wait to go back!

Got it! Here's a polished Yelp-style review that includes ambience and staff friendliness: --- The Stock Pot Review The Stock Pot is always a favorite of mine. Every time I visit, I have to order the OG Fried Rice! !t's my go-to dish. On my last visit, it was a little heavily seasoned compared to other times, but still absolutely delicious. The drinks here are consistently good, which makes the meal even better. The only downside is the drinking water, it's never quite up to par and always leaves me a bit disappointed. That said, the inside of the restaurant is really nice. The ambience is warm, inviting, and makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. Despite the small hiccups, The Stock Pot remains a spot I'll keep coming back to, especially for that OG Fried Rice!

Tucked just off 19th Street near the Oceanfront, The Stockpot is one of those spots that manages to feel like a hidden gem even in a busy area. One of the best surprises? They actually have a private parking lot, which is almost unheard of that close to the beach - definitely a win if you've ever tried to parallel park at the Oceanfront in the summer. I went with a friend and we split the Trio Dip Platter to start, super fresh and colorful. It came with a solid scoop of chicken salad, creamy green pea hummus, crunchy cucumber and celeste veggies, warm pita slices, and a small side of tzatziki. It was light but satisfying, and a great sharable option if you want to sample a few things without getting weighed down. For my main, I ordered the Chifrito Salad Bowl, and honestly, I was not ready for how huge and hearty it was. The bowl was practically overflowing, packed with flavor, and the pork carnitas were seriously next level: tender, juicy, and falling apart in the best way. It was one of those rare salads that doesn't feel like a compromise. My friend went for Anne's Chicken Noodle Soup, which had a bit of a twist with soba noodles. She couldn't stop talking about how good the broth was, super savory and comforting without being too heavy. Overall, The Stockpot feels like a place that genuinely cares about fresh ingredients and thoughtful prep. Whether you're a local or just spending a beach weekend, it's absolutely worth a stop.

Came here for brunch this morning and everything was amazing. I am reed a blood orange mimosa and the Baja skillet breakfast. The food was so delicious. The employees are always so nice and friendly. I love having w this restaurant is so small and intimate. I always like to sit at the bar when I'm dining in. One of my favorite brunch places.

Loved it here! Took a quick drive a little ways from the beach because there were lines everywhere for breakfast. Found the Stockpot. Nice people, great food. Known for their toasties, different flavors each day. We got one to try-Mac and cheese & pork belly was the flavor. It's like an uncrustable. Delicious! Breakfast was fantastic.

Great spot! I've been here twice and have had good experiences. More recently, I got the avo toast-- this was delicious and I would order it again (they were super generous with the avocado which I appreciated. The balsamic-like taste also made it tasty). The brookie I ordered was quite dry and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. When the waitress said they had hot chai, I was expecting a latte not a cup of tea, but I guess that was on me. Last time, I got the chicken noodle soup which was super flavorful and unique. The staff is very friendly. The vibe of the restaurant is cool too-- very warm and relaxing. I thought the pricing was pretty fair too. Recommend to anyone in the area!

came here for brunch with my friend who recommended it! super sweet and kind staff, food and drinks were delish, the vibe was super cute, definitely going back!

This is probably my 10th visit in the past year alone. I absolutely love this place. Especially on a day with perfect weather, you can sit outside on the covered patio and enjoy mimosas! Mimosas 5/5: I've lost track of all the flavors I've tried. But my favorite is the lavender! OG fried rice 6/5: I can't help but get the same dish every time. It's just too good. The rice is so good and crispy! Rosemary biscuits 5/5: I first tried this with their soup of the day. In the fall they have butternut squash soups. They'll had a small cut of their biscuit to the order. You can order the biscuits alone, they're sooooo good and made fresh. They also have drink happy hours each day of the week' not sure what times since I never make it. Breakfast specials from 7-10am, includes coffee and sandwich for only $7! They also have food specials such as ramen or paella. I just follow along on social media to find out the special. Limited but free parking. Otherwise street parking but very walkable and close. If you're at the convention center it's only a short walk over.

I visited the Stockpot twice in one day! I was in the area for a conference and stopped in before for breakfast. My avocado toast was very hefty and hearty. The bacon was divine. I came back with the group I was with for lunch. I had the Cypress sandwich and soup. Very much so recommend the mushroom miso soup and my country ham sandwich was very good. Everyone in my group also enjoyed their meals. We got there before noon and were seated quickly. As we were leaving, around 12:30 it was quite busy and there was a wait. However we never felt rushed and were welcomed the entire time. Both times the service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back!

These folks knock it out of the ballpark every single time. What an amazing place to enjoy a meal. Surrounded by happy house plants and nice decor and wonderful culinary scents, this place was the best find in Virginia Beach ever...! Since I'm not local, I feel drawn to my all time favorite breakfast, the Turkish breakfast (pictured) AMAZING array of flavors and choices. I always add the lamb patty and falafel. It's hard to finish, but I give it my damnedest...! They also have exotic juices, like the pictured blood orange juice available. The servers are very personable and take great care of all patrons! Enjoy this amazing restaurant experience!

Wow. The OG Fried rice was amazing. The speedy hot sauce was good with it too. My wife got the egggs scrambled and wished she had gotten mine. Hers was fine but mine was filled with flavor. Everyone was nice and glad we stopped in. They support local which is nice and have a few beers on tap and mimosas. Would definitely go back.

After a truly disappointing culinary journey through Virginia Beach, the Stockpot was a nice ending. I got the corn beef hash and cypress salad. I recommend skipping the basic bagged salad. The hash was pretty good. They did not skimp on the meat; I took some home after I got tired of chewing. I thought the dish could have used more kale.

Everything was absolutely phenomenal! The OH Fried rice is SOOOOOO complex! The ramen was excellent as well!! Service was fast, friendly & very informative. We sat outside & it was nice!!

The food is simply outstanding! Very small space but sitting at the bar is perfect. Dan and staff make everyone feel at home. It's a great place to eat within walking distance to the convention center and other venues.

Great option for brunch! I stopped in for a solo brunch on Father's Day. They were having a special steak and eggs entree for the holiday so I went ahead and got that. Amazing service from the moment I stepped in the door. Staff are so friendly and helpful. I got the pineapple ginger quencher as a drink and it was delicious and refreshing. The rosemary biscuit was to die for! Great flavor and that homemade feel. The jam and butter were the perfect addition. The main entree was also delicious. The steak and potatoes were well-seasoned and the eggs were just as I requested. Can't wait until my next visit!

Really enjoyed our breakfast here. Ambiance is cozy, staff is super welcoming and attentive, food is the perfect mix of comfort favorites and unique creations. I loved the pumpkin yogurt granola parfait and also really enjoyed the warm bone broth. I was surprisingly not as impressed by their fried rice, which seems to be one of the most popular items. I would definitely come back for the parfait, which I didn't expect to love as much. Overall, great spot!

Amazing Food & Even Better Vibes! Stockpot VB never disappoints, but this visit was extra special thanks to Kat, Holly, and especially Sky! Holly was super helpful in recommending the Anne's chicken noodle soup and salad combo! P comfort food. Kat gave great insight on how the salmon could be cooked, which made the meal even better. And then there was Sky... her stellar ad-libs during one of the songs on the playlist? Iconic. She took the whole vibe to another level! You can tell the team here genuinely enjoys what they do, and it makes for an unforgettable experience. Great food, great service, and great energy... can't wait to come back!

The chicken soup is the greatest--perfect blend of heat with chili flakes and cool with cilantro and Udon noodles. Yum! I felt like I was coming down with a colds and this chicken soup was the cure. And the service person was great!

Perfect day for soup! Wet, and dreary outside! I was in the mood for some soup and The Stockpot did not disappoint!! I ordered the soup de jour it was their take on chicken and dumplings instead of dumplings it's their delicious biscuits! The soup had great flavor lots of chicken and vegetables (peas, carrots, celery, and onion) the usual! I definitely recommend!! I should of ordered the larger portion! I also ordered the carrot ginger soup for later. It sounded interesting, and I overheard that the new menu will be coming out soon and that soup will no longer be on it so I had to give it a try. Excited to see the new menu!

Food is very good! Original and homemade! Friendly staff too. Our server was friendly but not the most attentive. Coffee and water stayed empty even though it was not busy.

This is ridiculous to charge $7.47 for a thumbnail piece of cake. If I had known the waitress was going to do this to me, I would've never purchased it. Update: After returning home, about a mile up the road, and sampling the cake, I was even more displeased to discover it was dried out and flavorless.

Lindsay was awesome; she was attentive and prompt with the plates. She was very knowledgeable about the food offerings. A very pleasant experience. Amazing food. We sat outside and the environment was superb. Thank you Stockpot Virginia Beach.

We loved the Stockpot! Such a cute spot with delightful decor and elevated cuisine. I ordered a special, the seafood pot pie with crab, shrimp, and scallops topped with cheddar biscuits. It was amazing. My friend really enjoyed the Southender as well! My only pieces of constructive criticism would be the price of coffee/tea and to have cream and sugar on the table instead of having to ask or have it added in the back. Hope to return!

Ehhhh, it was ok, I was hoping it would be blow your socks off type of food. The kiddos got the peanut butter and homemade jelly (3 out of 10), kids chicken noodle soup (3.5 out of 10), and we got the gyro with the lamb patty. This is where it got annoying, we asked to do an add on of falafel which would have been an extra 3.25 but instead they charged us for the gyro falafel and added the lamb patty for an extra 8.25. That was an extra 5.00 that they didn't tell us until I left the restaurant and looked at my receipt. We spent 70 dollars on 2 main entrees and 2 kids meal. I understand inflation but I don't understand straight cheating for 5.00.

Great service and loved the two dishes I got! The OG fried rice was delicious and the biscuit sandwich with house made sausage was very good. The menu has a great mix of breakfast/brunch and lunch goodies that is served all day. I look forward to coming here again next time I'm in VA Beach!

The food is fresh, healthy, clean and delicious! That's not a combo you come across every day. The staff is a host of lovely souls who strive for excellence every day. Great job, y'all. I'll be back!

UPDATE: ramen night cannot be missed! I tried the seasonal one and it was so delicious! It had sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carnitas. Sooooo tasty.

I got some food to deliver as a part of a bereavement gift for a friend; they were very appreciative of course but they made a point to express how GREAT the food was! I should've gotten some for myself but what i CAN speak to is excellent customer service and very pleased friends on the other end of special delivery. I'll be back to try them myself soon!!

I really loved this place. It is a cozy, attractive small diner with outside seating. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and able to find a seat. The staff were very friendly. The AV toast was so fresh and filling. The rosemary biscuits were amazing with and without the homemade jam. The place is about block away from the VB sport center. A perfect stop for breakfast or lunch.

I started coming to the sock pot when I was still living in South Carolina. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is perfect little breakfast place for me. They even have organic coffee. It is my favorite breakfast place in Virginia Beach. Now that I am living here. Highly recommended.

I came here for breakfast and lunch several times while I was in Virginia Beach. For breakfast, I dined in and ordered the scrambled egg. It was tasty and the portion was just right -- not too small and not too filling. For lunch, I ordered the OG fried rice for takeout. It does take a while for them to cook everything so call ahead if you do not want to wait long. The smell of the fried rice was amazing. The rice they use was almost a crispy brown rice which added so much more depth and flavor to the whole dish. The chicken wasn't fry and marinated just right. All the ingredients were super fresh. I definitely recommend trying the OG fried rice. Note: they charge a credit card fee so if you pay cash, it's a bit cheaper.

Love this place. Very healthy food at great prices. Please give them a shot you will love it

This place was great! Sat at the bar, right across from the chef. My mind was made up after I saw him sending out dish after amazing dish of beautifully presented, healthy options. I had the tuna tacos. He recommended a great beer as well. Will come back again and again.

You already know this place is great- friendly staff, bar seating that lets you watch chef cook your food, food coming out look delicious and large serving size. We ordered:carnitas toast, Turkish breakfast, lamb kofta. Turkish breakfast has salad with cucumbers, pickled onions and several dried apricots, heaping large scoop of hummus, two sunny side eggs, lots of pita wedges... The carnitas toast was served piled high with cubed (not minced) perfectly seasoned pork and a sunny side egg. Lamb kofta came with 3 large meatballs on bed of pita and side salad. Everything was super delicious!

Delicious, fresh dishes coupled with lovely attentive staff. We ordered falafel, a toasty, a couple breakfast dishes. I'll be back when I'm in town again.

Every time we have come to The Stockpot we have been greeted immediately and seated in our choice of seating. They have inside and outside seating. We really like inside. It is a little pricey but for the quality of food and drink is good. The flights of different drinks are fun. I cannot resist a flight of anything. We have also gotten the specialty lemonades. YUM. Last time we were there they offered a flight of coffee. I will be getting that next time, for sure. OOO and they come up with special drinks and flights for seasonal. So make sure you check out every season. Let's talk about the food. The menu changes. I always like looking at the special board. The smoked salmon toast is A-M-A-ZING!!! Lots of flavor and very fresh toppings. Soups are always great. Not only delicious but the presentations is so pretty. We have also had bowls. Everything is always seasoned nicely. I have really enjoyed the flavors of everything we have had this past couple of years. Service here is my favorite. Very Friendly. We have had many different servers and all have been great. Sometimes we have questions and they take time to answer and they always look like they enjoy working at The Stockpot. Oh and I like the live plants inside and that big beautiful mirror. The VB location is smaller than the Norfolk location but I still love the VB location. I'm all about friendly wonderful service.h

Great little spot with fresh food and desserts. Our server was amazingly helpful. I loved the Turkish breakfast as I like to have a little bit of everything. My dad wanted a basic sandwich and was told which items fit what he was looking for. Bohemian ambiance. My only complaint was that we were asked to share a high top table by the window while the manager was doing interviews. We really couldn't have a private conversation nor they.

I highly recommend!! We waited for about 20-30 min on a Saturday during brunch, and it wasn't bad! We sat at the bar near the kitchen area, and we loved it! Our server was great and friendly, but the girl cooking on the griddle area was the best! We loved her and loved talking with her a bit (she was super busy, but still set a good tone). The mimosa flight legitimately had me a little messed up for a minute there- it was SO good (picture included). The food was literally the best I've ever had in my life- I had the carnita with eggs toast with added avocado (MUST DO!), but I had scrambled with cheese eggs instead of the sunny side up. I cannot wait to go again!

The food and service is always good!! I love the modern diner style decor and urban fusion crafttails!!

We visited for a Father's Day brunch around 1030am and were seated immediately. I was surprised there wasn't more of a wait. Unfortunately we did wait 15 minutes before anyway even came to the table to bring us water or see how we were doing. Once the waitress came we ordered everything. Our drinks came first, the lavender lemonade didn't taste as lavendery or lemonadey as I thought it would, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't get again. My husband's manmosa with pineapple mango was very good! The iced coffee flight came with some fun, unique flavors, but did taste a little watered down as a previous review mentioned. The Og fried rice was delicious! However my breakfast fell a little short - the sweet potato hash just wasn't what I was familiar with a 'hash' being and left me feeling unsatisfied with my meal. They run dinner specials on different nights - we're likely to return to try their ramen night, but would probably opt out of breakfast

We had to wait for a table of 7 for an about 3i min, but oh my goodness, it was absolutely worth it!!!!! we seriously want to come back tomorrow! Every one of us got something outstanding on the menu, we started off with the biscuit basket with two different home spreads, and they were to die for!!!We loved the BB's Benedict, the Chifrijo bowl, the chicken salad with toast, and the chicken noodle soup. Everything was truly phenomenal. Most of all our server, LYDIA, was wonderful, actually sat down and went through the menu with us and told us her favorite things and how every single thing is homemade. She was so kind and attentive, and we loved her to pieces!!! One of the best servers we have ever had!

I hate to ruin availability for myself at The Stockpot but it's just too good to not share with everyone. Everything is amazing! The food, the ambiance, the staff (GM, Chef, Sous chef(s), wait staff, etc. all are fantastic! They run specialty dinners occasionally and they too are unbelievable. Get in there and enjoy!

Food, service and vibe all 5 stars! Ordered the OG w scoop of avocado, did not disappoint.

If I were a local, I would definitely frequent The Stockpot. The food is fresh and delicious, with lots of intriguing flavor combinations, and there really is something for everyone in your party. Staff is super friendly and helpful. There is outdoor seating that is well spaced and comfortable. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we were all sharing samples of each dish because everything was, "Oh my gosh you have to try this" good. The highlight for me was the peaches and halloumi salad, which was incredible--local, ripe peaches and grilled halloumi cheese with sweet and chewy house-grilled tomatoes and walnuts on greens dressed in a perfectly-seasoned basil and balsamic vinaigrette. The autumnal pumpkin tortilla soup was lovely and very unusually flavored. The seasoning was just perfect. The variety of soups alone would be a reason to return, and they are constantly changing up. I seriously could see myself frequenting this establishment just to sample all the soups on offer. The biscuits are tasty and fresh. The egg and chicken salads were perfectly seasoned. There are a selection of smoothies available. There are great selections for kids. This is a great brunch spot too. It appears that the menu changes pretty regularly, as the dishes are seasonal and based on the fresh, and often local, ingredients.

One of my favorite local vb spots! I mainly go here on Ramen Mondays, but you really can't go wrong with anything here. Their desserts are also spectacular! The service is always great and the vibe of the restaurant is beautiful & warm. Check it out!

Clean foods, cozy eating inside, or delightful outside under the gazebo--you can't go wrong with breakfast or lunch at Stockpot. (I haven't had dinner there,) We love this little place. The service is always on point, and the food is not only delicious and fresh but also healthy. Bonus~Their coffee is excellent as well as their desserts!

A decent place, but for the price there are better options. Very small inside. Minimal vegan options, but they do have a few.

I came here yesterday while down here for work. It was a lucky night to go because they had trivia. The food was amazing, I cannot stress that enough. I got the huevos rancheros and then I got a piece of the French toast as a dessert. The atmosphere was great the people in there were so nice too. I went in solo bc I'm up here for work by myself and it was just a very inviting place. Could have been because it was trivia but either way if I'm back here again I'd go here again for sure.

This my favorite breakfast/ brunch place I visited while in VA Beach. Service was great, the food was great, and the weather was amazing to sit outside . We were promptly sat and food was on table very quickly . Everyone worked together and it made service really nice . If in VA beach and looking for a chill brunch spot before the beach the Stockpot is it.
