I love this particular location of No Frill, I have never visited the VB location. The menu has many unique options to choose from, favorites are the london broil salad and funky chicken. I've gone here with children in tow, and with adults and always have a nice time. The wait staff is prompt and smart to the local area.... More

We visited this restaurant during one of our few nights off on a recent work trip to Norfolk, and enjoyed it so much we went back again on our last night in town. Tasty food, not too expensive, and clearly very popular even on a week night. However the first time I made the foolish error of ordering a ribs... More

I love coming here! The servers are always friendly, and the food is great. I really like the side salads because they are so fresh, and they have so much variety. The sandwiches are great- I usually get the turkey wrap or a burger. The meal sized salads are also good. My husband usually gets the ribs (which are falling... More

Hadn't been to No Frill in awhile so we ventured in again. Almost did the brunch breakfast but decided on lunch instead. Got a chicken flatbread. Stacked high and messy. Could only eat half of it and took it home for phase 2 eating later. Food was enjoyable. Very crowded as we knew it would be on a Sunday mid-day.... More

Family of four ate here, including two high school teens. We ordered: - Seafood Trilogy (catfish, shrimp, crab cake on bed of spinach and rice): Outstanding meal. The sauces on the catfish and the spinach were what made the meal stand out. - Shrimp & Chips: Excellent large shrimp. Very tasty - Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich: Uses rib eye for the... More

Great food and great value. They only take reservations if you have 6 or more in your party. Get there early on a Friday or Saturday night the place is popular

Today was or second visit and I can't wait to go back again! We ate at the bar as there was a line for tables. The bartender who also took our food order, was so friendly despite the fact he was doing six things at once! He conversed with us for a few minutes when he could. He was very... More

Just visited this past weekend. The veggie pita (add the hummus!) was stuffed with fresh vegetables.. so big I had to tackle it with a fork first! The sweet tea was perfect, and on a warm spring day the bright atmosphere can't be beat.
