No Frill Grill
American · Breakfast · Norfolk, VA
About
No Frill Grill isn't the bare-bones diner its name might suggest. Open since 1987 in Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood, it started as a no-frills counter service spot but has since evolved, adding some frills while keeping the focus on big, classic American dishes. The menu spans breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, seafood, and Mediterranean-inspired options, with a full bar and outdoor seating for a casual, mixed-gay-straight crowd.
You'll find pierogies, chili, and burgers served in a comfortable setting that feels more like a friend's hangout than a restaurant. The Yelp rating sits at 4.4 out of 5 from over 1,100 reviews. Go for Sunday brunch or a relaxed weeknight meal; the hours run 11am to 9pm most days, closing at 8pm Sunday and Monday.
