Hear from our valued guests
First time here. The pizza, mimosas and biscuits were out of this world. A must try!
Just wow!!! Everything was spot on! The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, casual like a pizza place but fancy like a nice date bar, the service from host to wait staff to manager was absolutely top notch. And then the food was amazing! This place is everything you want in a restaurant! So nice to sit down and be served. We had a sample of tomato soup- the best I’ve ever had! And the margarita pizza for pizza night and the flavors were perfect.
Bakers Crust in Norfolk, VA, is a fantastic spot for a relaxed yet satisfying meal. I had the "B|C Buttermilk Biscuit," and it truly hit the mark. The biscuit was soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor, making it perfect for anyone with a big appetite. It’s a hearty portion, so I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking to fill up, but if you’re not too hungry, you might want to consider something lighter. The real highlight of our visit was the excellent service. Our server, Amber, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. My wife ordered the Shakshouka, and she couldn't stop raving about it. If you’re looking for something a little different, I’d definitely suggest giving it a try. Overall, Bakers Crust offers a great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. Definitely a spot we’ll be visiting again!
Always a sure bet! My daughter & I went for dinner on Mother's Day so it wasn't as busy. We are frequent diners, so I've had just about everything on the menu. We got the margherita pizza, fish and chips, and the pastrami sandwich- which I've never had before. The pastrami was a masterpiece! This isn't thin & shaved, no, it's thick cuts of juicy, savory pastrami. I ate it like I was mad at it. I asked and was told they get it from NY/Jersey area. So now I have my breakfast menu fave: blueberry lemon curd pancakes and my dinner menu fave: pastrami sandwich. I can't wait to go back!
Went here with two picky children learning to expand their pallets. Was this a risk, considering the cost per plate....? Yes, yes it was. It was a risk I was happy to take. This is a nice and cozy restaurant, the atmosphere is wonderful and the food is fresh and delicious. My children ordered their burgers with fried egg and extra crispy bacon, they devoured those burgers and declared them the best in town, so far. The fries were also top notch. Now they have a lot of variety, such as breakfast and sea food. I chose their maple bacon burger, the kids order had me craving one. Topped with fried red onion, this was delicious! I highly recommend this to any one looking to find something new, fresh, and delectable.
Definitely one of the highlights of my Wednesday afternoon was having Dyamond as my waiter. She was super courteous, had the greatest personality, and her customer service went truly above and beyond typical expectations. Super knowledgeable about the menu with the recommendations, she cared enough to hear me out about my feed back with my meal, and overall made sure no stone was left unturned when it came to our comfort. We will definitely look for her next time we come in.
Oh wow! We stumbled upon this wonderful place. Beautiful indoor space, cute outdoor space. Great lighting can be a little more dim. Mariah, Aries and Diamond are amazing bartenders!! They are attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and gave suggestions! Definitely will be back for the food, drinks, and enlightening conversations.
Really good service and food. Started with the Bloody Mary and coffee then ordered the Baltimore Benedict. The Bloody Mary was delicious and it was only $6. Eggs were perfect, good hollandaise and muffin. The crab was fine but it was labeled as lump, but it was pretty small pieces. It could have been lump crab meat but if it was, it had been broken down. If you put lump in your recipe, you should leave it in the biggest pieces you can. Either way it tasted good. Hash browns were kind of addicting, I thought I was done but as I waited on the check I kept eating them. My waitress, Hanna, was very nice and attentive. I want to come back and try dinner.
What a find! Really fresh food done right, super kind and generous staff. It was our first time in and they gifted us a cinnamon bun (insanely good! I would share a picture but we ate it in about 2 minutes). We came in hungry, my kids got the kid burger and kid chicken tenders and fresh cut fries—both really loved their meals. These are fresh-made kids meals—so much care and effort into everything cooked here. I had the breakfast burrito which was delicious and full of flavor. Also enjoyed the Island Ginger (NA) Mule. Come check it out!
The food was amazing!!! 10/10 highly recommended. We had the calamari, classic eggs Benedict, strawberry cheese cake French toast, smash burger, Belgium waffle, west coast omelette and French Rivera French toast. We loved everything, no note! 😝
