“Highly recommend! Great menu, great homestyle cooking. And huge portions. Unbelievable meatloaf, and it’s massive. Two can share and still have leftovers! Wonderful Shepards pie. Well prepared sides (potatoes and veg). Nice little restaurant, very clean and funky decor. Very nice folks work there. Really want to go back to try the sandwiches.“
“(I received an email stating they had extended the Garden of Lights and that they offer a mobility shuttle on value nights. )This was a perfect opportunity to enjoy some lights with my husband, and bring another family member who otherwise wouldn't have been able to walk the entire route. The mobility shuttle is included in the price of admission, however one must contact the office to make reservations. They have a limited number of seats on the tram and will assign you a row ( each row has four seats).We had to arrive between 4:30-4:45pm to check in at the visitor center. The tram left at 5pm to tour the entire route of the lights at a good leisurely pace. It took roughly 30 minutes to complete the route. Since it wasn't completely dark when we started the tour of lights, the first half/three fourths weren't as magical and twinkly & sparkly as i'm sure it looks when it's completely dark and the lights illuminate with such fervor and vibrancy.We did enjoy the lights and they are a beautiful, mystical electrical sight, however we weren't able to witness it's full spectacular until the last part of the tour. It would have been a 5 star experience had they started the tram later for better visibility of the holiday lights. I'm guessing several reasons the tram starts right when the lights open are due to high foot traffic during open hours which isn't conducive for a tram to navigate,the other being for everyone's safety. Maybe the idea of starting much later would present additional safety and challenge issues with loading/unloading people on the tram due to lower visibility. If logistically and economically possible, maybe next winter season they can push the opening time a little later to accommodate for sundown and have portable floodlights surrounding the tram area for loading and unloading if those are partly the reasons? If at all?I think it's wonderful they strive to be all encompassing, as everyone should be able to enjoy the outdoors, especially without having to be concerned about navigating the logistics of a desired activity/event. Staff were safe, expeditious, efficient and friendly! Make sure to dress according to the weather, it's an open tram. We made sure we had hats, layers on, including long johns. That night was so frigid and even being bundled up I could still feel the cold creeping through. When we visited, we arrived early prior to check in & loading. It would have been helpful or appreciated if staff had offered /suggested to visitors the food vendor availability & location information to utilize that wait time for us to grab some hot drinks and snacks. We didn't see the food vendors until everyone went outside to load. Nor did anyone else. My husband was a tad irritated that he didn't know he had an option to get some drinks & snacks from Bear house coffee, duck donuts and another vendor prior.“
“I don’t write ratings so consider this even better…. This place slaps. I came in here after cutting down some trees with the crew down the street and clearing a back lot of growth debris. I ate the steak and mushroom with provolone. Seriously, that stuff slapped so hard. Simple, amazing, and I wanted more than the footlong. I will definitely be back.“
“We have been going to Virginia Cheese Company since Ashtyn opened it... right in the middle of the pandemic which took real courage and commitment. We have an annual wine and cheese party and prior to VA Cheese, we ordered in cheeses from Murray's, Zingermans, Rogue River, etc. Ashtyn now sources any and all of those cheeses but keeps the cooler stocked with all sorts of cheeses we otherwise never heard about. The sandwiches are made fresh and are delicious if you want to sit down and eat in the friendly, Parisian like setting in Freemason, or you can take it to go to the Pagoda and sit outside. We who live in Norfolk are lucky to have a cheese monger on par with Neal's Yard or Murray's (pre-Kroger takeover) right here in the middle of our little city.“
“Simply the best sandwich shop in town. Food is awesome. Too many good sandwiches to choose a favorite. Start at the beginning of the menu then order the next sandwich down each time you come back till you hit the end. Then REPEAT!!!Make sure you sit on the saddle once. :)Four Horseman is my most recent!! YUM!!“
“I have to speak out- now their sandwiches are bomb you can’t deny that. I will sing the praises of the Lynnhaven, Tidewater, Boardwalk, etc but DO NOT ORDER from their frozen prepared meals. I tried the crispy Asian meatballs, Bacon wrapped meatloaf, and ham and gruyere quiche. Meatballs- so salty they were inedible, also crispy?! How meatballs in sauce go from frozen to crispy is beyond me, but I assure you they were not. Meatloaf- the recommended cook time was all wrong (it was cold in the middle), the only flavor came from the sauce (which I’m pretty sure was just sweet baby ray’s), and when I cut into it and tried to put a piece on my plate it crumbled like taco meat- the texture was all wrong. Quiche- flavor was actually pretty good and balanced but it was SO watery the crust on the bottom didn’t stand a chance. All over- they do fresh very well but that frozen section just isn’t working and could potentially hurt their reputation. I feel like I wasted my $47- wish I had spent that on sandwiches, salads, and chantilly lime bars“
“My husband and I love Greater Grinders! He had a steak and cheese. I had a Greater Grinder (added sweet and hot peppers...mmm!) The toasted bread is the best! The seasoning and oil and vinegar take it to another level. We had a whole sub and neither of us could finish it, even though we really wanted to. The price is really reasonable too!Parking: The lot is not a large lot, but it seems to be ample parking.“
“I love the name "Regular Ass Sandwich" lol. I think they used to have their own building, but now they share with Handsome Biscuit. The staff were super nice and fast. We got the chicken salad sandwich and guess what, it was a regular ass sandwich. I'm a little picky with my chicken salad to be honest, but they had the perfect ratio. The potato salad was yummy as well, creamy! I would totally go here again! Especially when I'm craving a hearty sandwich that feels like home. We also got fruit roll ups on the side just to add to the 2000s feel. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it didn't wow me with flavor. It was good for sure, but nothing crazy. There is also no in person location so that makes me sad.Overall, thank you for the food! A good meal!“

“I’ve eaten a lot of sandwiches, but this place definitely has the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. My favorite is the Roast Beef French Dip sandwich. I’m from out of town and will definitely lobby to get a Which Wich where I live. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.“
“The owners are very nice considering their store is in downtown Norfolk and having to deal with the homeless, cheap no tipping blk ppl, and the entitled who have moved into the condos that have now blocked the view of Waterside. The wife is very cultured and personable. Won't accept my tips but she says she's been franchising Subway for 35 years and is happy with her life.( in other words she's saying she manages and is well off financially)“
“The food is outstanding using all fresh ingredients and the staff is absolutely fantastic. It is always a joy and pleasure going in there. Fast easy and pleasant, you really can't ask for anything more than that.Parking: Just pull up in front of Jersey Mike's and park. Fast easy and free.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes this location is wheelchair accessible. ♿️“
“This is truly one of my favorite firehouse sub facilities to visit. The owners and team members are always so attentive to my orders, and provide top-notch service with top-notch food. Anytime there is a new item to the menu their team is always happy to inform and by doing so, I have found new items on their menu that I like. The Service is a 10 out of 10!! just remember that when you order your sandwich to stand behind the black line ?? ?“
“One of our SPECIAL joints for a takeout meal. Service and meal options are ALWAYS on time. The staff greets us in the most friendly manner EVERY time we visit!!! It is like coming home!!! We make it one of our FAVORITE destinations for a sub or bowl meal.“
“On this stormy day finishing up my long weekend I was craving a spicy all beef sub from Chicago. But alas I was no where near. So in my pursuit of this food through rain and crazy Virginia drivers, I found this place. When I walked in I was greeted by three workers: Javi, Hanna, and Anthony. These three were fantastic and hard workers. After asking each their favorite sub I chose Anthony to make it. He made me a #43 and to make it how he likes it, but spicy. Let me tell you it hit the craving I longed for. Such rich flavor, just spicy enough to keep you going back for more. Like when a woman bites your lips during a kiss. Absolutely wonderful. Their boss should be Absolutely proud of these three and are quality employees that go above and beyond.“
“I had the most great experience at this Subway.The staff was awesome. They provided me and my mom with great customer service.She's an older lady and a handful. And they were very patient with her as she placed her order.They made her happy and that's a plus in my book!“
“The wait was a little long but definitely worth it. When you order your food it is made to order which is the best way to have it, that way you known it is nice and fresh. The portions are extremely large so if you late you will definitely not need to eat dinner. The food is absolutely exquisite. Treat your self and definitely go there.“
