excellent

by BrianMarilyn at Citysearch

I always love going to the No Frill. The atmosphere, service and food are great. The Spotswood Salad is not to be missed but don't plan on having an entree too, it is huge. One of my favorite places in Norfolk and great place to take friends.

• Pros: great food, service, and atmosphere. parking available but fills up on the weekend
• Cons: go early if you want a table for lunch

Favorite Spot

by govie80 at Citysearch

If you visit this restaurant, you'll easily understand why it has to be one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. The food is very reasonably priced (par with most chain restaurants) and you can tell it is quality from the first bite. The atmosphere is casual but professional. It's also in the middle of Ghent which makes it easy to find another restaurant if it is outrageously busy!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Quality, Ambience

You're guaranteed to have delicious food every night.

The Scene
What do you get when you cross an upscale restaurant with a neighborhood hangout? It's not a riddle but an apt description of No Frill. Just steps from the Naro movie theater, it's more popular than the balcony on a Saturday night. Clusters of khaki-clad yuppies sip microbrews at a back corner bar, while bigger groups with smaller budgets congregate at wood tables with fresh flowers.

The Food
There's something for everyone on the menu: roll-up sandwiches and Buffalo-style wings are perennial favorites, as is the meal-sized London Broil salad topping fresh vegetables with tender strips of marinated steak. The kitchen also has a creative side, serving roasted rockfish with Dijon and charred tomato, onion and baby spinach concasse on one night, and beef tenderloin medallions with sun-dried tomato infused goat cheese, shiitakes and black beans the next.

Great Frills

by Brio84 at Citysearch

Great location, ambience, service, and creative food. And a lot of food for the price - overall our favorite place in all of Hampton Roads. As close to a European experience as you can have without being in Europe. If we had to choose only one place to go, this is it.

• Pros: Terrific food/wine, Terrific service, Terrific ambiance
• Cons: Parking, A bit noisy

The best food in the world!!

by steph4887 at Citysearch

I was on vacation in Norfolk a few years ago and a friend of mine took me to the no frill bar and grill. I had the filet mignon. I have never in my life had such good food. To this day I still have never had anything so good in my life.
