Little Creek Diner in Norfolk

J and I went to the Little Creek Diner on Halprin Dr. in Norfolk for breakfast this morning. I'd heard about this place from a patron at another local establishment that we go to for breakfast quite often (Charlie's also in Norfolk.) At the diner, I ordered the MonteCristo sandwich w. a fried egg and home fries. J had 3 scrambled eggs w. a thick and juicy slice of ham, home fries and toast. Everything we ordered was delicious! The french toast on my sandwich was crispy, had a hint of vanilla and perhaps cinnamon? The melted swiss was delicious and the turkey complimented both beautifully. I added a fried egg just to make the sandwich extra rich and thought that it was a good compliment to a great classic sandwich. Though they don't use real maple syrup (don't think there are any restaurants in our area that do :-( ) the provided syrup on the table made this dish a sweet/savory delight. The home fries that accompanied were simply prepared; cooked then griddle fried until crisp and crunchy on one side. I would def recommend this place for breakfast. I haven't had lunch here but they have all the diner classics from melts to open faced turkey sandwiches. The Diner is owned by a Greek family (read somewhere that the family also owns the Ship's Cabin) and they have a lot of good specials and an enormous menu. Both the size of the menu and types of food are the closest I have come to a traditional northern style diner fare. The decor and ambiance are a bit shabby but the coffee is hot, the food and service are great and the cops, blue haired ladies and locals sitting at the counter make this place a favorite locals joint in my book. I foresee many more meals to come at this local treasure; we'll be back soon!
