Our guide to American restaurants in Norfolk
American restaurants cover a lot of ground: the neighborhood diner with a counter and bottomless coffee, the family restaurant with a long laminated menu, the gastropub doing elevated comfort food, and the “New American” kitchen that builds a short seasonal menu around local farms. What ties them together is a menu built on familiar staples – burgers, sandwiches, salads, steaks, fried chicken and pasta – plus regional favorites that change as you cross the country.
Regional dishes are the best reason to seek out a local American place rather than a chain: a hot brown in Louisville, a pork tenderloin sandwich in Indiana, green chile cheeseburgers in New Mexico, chowder in New England or a loco moco in Hawaii. Ask what the kitchen is known for – the answer is often something you will not find on the other side of the state line.
