Lamia's Crepes

★★★★★ 4.5 (224) • $

"Sweet or Savory, sweet or savory get one of eachService is wonderful and crepes even better.I happen to pop in during the cocoa wars which is an annual event in downtown Norfolk and I will say that this hot cocoa was impressive! Give it a try and vote for them I will definitely be back to try more"

Lava Fried Chicken & Teriyaki

★★★★☆ 3.7 (9)

"Just tried the new Korean fried chicken place in Chesapeake and wow! The chicken was insanely crunchy, exactly how I like it. Their sauce had great flavor and the spice level was perfect, not too mild but not crazy hot either. I got my food delivered and it was piping hot, which is awesome. Portions were good for the price, totally worth it. Definitely ordering from them again. So happy with the food and service. Five stars!"

America’s Best Wings

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (40)

"Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal opinion and my personal opinions alone, so with that being said let's go!!..My wife and I decided to get some old bay seasoned wings from here because the night before we had them at a friend's house warming party because we both felt they were really flavorful. To make a long story short we ordered them and also placed an order of lemon and pepper to go along with the old bay wings and unfortunately we weren't as happy as we were with the old bay ones! First we requested the wings to be cooked extra crunchy and they were not ( luckily for us we were eating at home so we popped them in the air fryer for that crunch we desire on our bone in wings!. Second the wings had absolutely no flavor at all, no lemon or pepper flavor of seasonings!. I would try them out again but I wouldn't by that particular flavor of wings anymore!!."

"Cheap prices fanatic cookies and food and amazing verity of food to fill u up great people and amazing service."

Barley Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (45)

"The tuna salad club with waffle fries is an excellent choice. I added pickles to mine, the tuna salad is simple with mayo and spices.In the picture, you can see half a sandwich the other half is underneath the fries. Come hungry because this will fill you up.Cheers!"

Wawa

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"We love this location! They just opened late summer. They have been great. A few little issues here and there, but they managed well. It's never really crowded there. When placing food ordered it does not take too long. All workers do have a mask on and some wear gloves. The food is usually stocked well and the drinks. This is not a huge Wawa. But, has almost everything you could need. It is clean and well kept."

Zaxbys

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (17)

"With it being my first time at this location, my daughter and I decided to stop by for a quick bite to eat on a Sunday around 5pm. The line in the drive thru was pretty long but I figured it was due to the time of day so we patiently waited. Once it was our turn to order, we decided on the #1, a Big Zax Snak (3 chicken fingers & fries) and the #3, a Wings & Things (5 wings, 3 chicken fingers & fries). For the wings, my daughter wanted them coated in bbq sauce and we both ordered our drinks. For some reason, the associate taking the order could not comprehend all that we were ordering and it literally took us repeating the same order several times before he understood...or so we thought.As we approached the first window to pay the $30 for the food, which is absurd, we asked that he read back our order to ensure it was correct and unfortunately, he still read it back to us wrong. After we carefully explained what we asked for, he read it back to us correctly.We pull up to the next window to receive our food and thankfully I checked the bag before we left because it was not correct. There was a sandwich in the bag and other additional items that we did not order. We were asked to provide our receipt and waited patiently in hopes they could figure it out. Once we received our food and checked the bag, we realized the wings were coated in the wrong sauce but we had zero patience left and drove off. The food was mediocre. The chicken fingers were smaller than I remember but I hadn't been to a Zaxby's in years so things could have changed over time. I'm hoping our recent experience with Zaxby's was due to happenstance and not how they normally operate because if so, I'd probably never return."

Star Food Mart/Zeros Subs/Krispy Krunchy Chicken

★★☆☆☆ 2 (6)

"Definitely rivals pollards chicken ! There is precooked fried chicken or you can order fried or party wing styled chicken fresh and cooked as you order! This place is awesome I had the fried chicken gizzards...sounds weird but totally delicious and worth the 10 minute wait!!! Add sides like mac n cheese , blueberry/honey muffins ,red beans and rice or gumbo(I didn't try). This place is a hot commodity , I can gas up my car, play the lotto and order dinner haha .Life is good"

Zero's Subs - Norfolk

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (29) • $

"What can one say? It ain't pretty, but I love zero's grinders and most of the other sandwiches. Been eating them since I could reach the counter. Add some chips and a drink and I'm good for two meals! Of course I'll be back!"

Chic-A-Sea Restaurants

★★★★☆ 4.1 (29) • $

"Super weird location but I kept hearing great things about this place. Fries were pretty cold but sandwich was good, seasoned great and especially with their signature sauce. Customer service isn't all that and be prepared to wait for a little or you can order ahead (we ordered ahead)."

HWY 55

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (6)

"Nice looking new place compared to the old greasy-floored restaurant. However...the whole fast-food drive through concept needs to be rethought and/or improved upon. Sure...having a drive through and being new makes this a popular place with cars lining up to order. Nevertheless, it took precisely 36 minutes for me to get up to the ordering speaker box from the time I'd pulled in to line up at the back of the line. Then there issues at the box. I could barely hear a whisper from the employee taking orders and not sure if my replies would get through while wondering if my order would be correct.From the ordering speaker box, it took another 15 minutes (all timed on my iPhone) to get to the drive-through window, where I found out the name on the order is completely incorrect ... as I suspected due to either the poor quality of the two-way communication system or lack of training of its use or both. I paid for the order and got my foods and on my way.The food is good but is NOT quite the same as from the old place...the burgers tasted different (like a premade...can't put my finger on it yet), as did the buns they were made with. Cheesesteak is okay, and tatertots were not as greasy as before.If you come to dine here and see a line of cars in the drive through, I'd recommend going inside or be prepared for a long wait...I actually saw some friends over at the carwash next door and chatted with them to pass the time waiting in line for my foods!!!"

Shake Shack Newport News

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (24)

"The place is brand new and opened early and my family could not be happier! The parking lot is a little tricky to get into, but once you're parked, prepare yourself for a really good burger experience!When we arrived on a late Thursday afternoon, the line was just out the door. They do have some seating inside. The place was clean and run like a well-oiled machine. We ate at one of the tables and service was friendly and courteous. A couple of managers stopped by our table to either ask us if we wanted water or napkins, or to ask how our experience was. (It was great!)The menu is fairly limited with burgers, chicken sandwiches, a hot dog or grilled cheese. French fries, shakes and soda rounded out the selections. We all opted for burgers, shakes and fries. It was a little higher priced than I expected to pay but the food really was very good. We are already planning when we can go back. When we left, the line was out the door and down the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Go early if you can. They aren't set up in their app yet, but when they do get set up, we will order ahead and save some time. I wish them huge success and look forward to eating there again. It really was delicious and the vibe was just right. My kids are already choosing what they will order next time. That's when you KNOW it's good!"

"Fantastic spot with fantastic food! Jeff is the best! Very friendly spot to roll up and chill for a bit. Will definitely be back very soon."

Bo Bo's Fine Chicken Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (333) • $$

"BoBo's has been on my list for a long time. I finally got to go and get some take out. Next time I want to sit inside. Friendly people, She even gave me recommendations. I ordered exactly what she told me to. It was their fried chicken. Very good ."

Hardee's

★★★★☆ 3.5 (10) • $

"I don't expect much from fast food places but whoever the lady was working drive through at 7am this morning deserves a raise or a promotion! She was so sweet and detailed. She asked about every condiment I might need including for the coffee. Food was hot. Coffee fresh. It was just what I needed for my road trip."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (30) • $

"Freaky fast and freaky good, I stopped in for a "to go" lunch today and brought it with me to the airport.I've decided that I do not care for the oregano on the sandwich, so today was the Gargantuan in the "Unwich" format (lettuce, not bread) with a few other customizations including adding cucumber and adding dijon mustard. What ended up was a delicious sandwich that fit almost perfectly on my keto (no carb) diet.Great sandwich, clean restaurant, prepared super quickly. Jimmy John's does deliver within a 5 minute radius. Probably a good idea because this is not a very large parking lot. They do have an outside table.Round number special review... this is my 1000th review in the Commonwealth of Virginia! That includes 420 in Virginia Beach, 109 in Norfolk, 91 in Chesapeake and 84 in Winchester.[Review 10880 overall, 651 of 2019.]"

Perfectly Frank

★★★★★ 4.5 (146) • $

"I've gone here several times throughout the past couple years, and I've been satisfied every time! Their menu has simple yet delicious options that are super affordable, which makes it ideal for a college student like myself. I've gotten their burgers, fries, onion rings, and some of their desserts, all of which I've enjoyed. The inside has a plethora of writings from customers on the walls, creating a very unique charm. One thing I've noticed that is popular is their "cheapskate" meals, offering certain budget-friendly meals on specific days, which seems like a great way to get the most bang out of your buck."

MOD Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (77)

"I'm a huge pizza lover and I've wanted to try this place for a while now. I decided to give it a go last night. When entering you can tell it's a newly developed shopping center with all new stores & very nice decor. The MOD pizza concept was pretty cool allowing you to either make it your way with unlimited toppings or choose one of their specialty pizzas. I was very excited and already figured out I wanted the same toppings as the Margherita but with a twist and add all my favorites. So I got up to the front to place my order and ordered everything I wanted, was very excited but the place was busy and a lot of people were waiting for dinner at the same time. I noticed some stress from the staff with the busy lobby but I was anxiously waiting and super excited to say the least. I watched several pizzas go in and come out and I timed and watched who was in front of me with my expected time to watch for my pizza arrival. I saw my pizza come out and got up in excitement as I saw all of my favorite toppings on the pizza freshly baked in the inferno and I knew it was ready for me to eat. So I approached the check out point and inquired if that pizza had my name on it...the staff said no your up next..in my mind I thought hmmm..that looks exactly like my pizza with all the same toppings I ordered..I added black olives, spinach, mushrooms, onions and red peppers and I thought hmmm..I guess there's someone else that likes the exact toppings as me as I went and sat down. Lol. My order arrived and I was ready to dig in of course only to a discover that my pizza was switched with another customers and the pizza I had in front of me was not the pizza I ordered. Sadly disappointed I go back to the front to let the staff know they did give me the wrong pizza and the one I inquired on was indeed my pizza. They apologized and explained they were short staffed and it appeared the tickets got switched and they would take me back to the drawing board to pick again so I did but forgot some of my topping this time feeling rushed and disappointed. So I got my pizza and this pizza they did not stretch the Dough out bc I'm sure as she said they were short staffed and busy. With everything happening in the world I totally get it. I've seen a lot of small business's shut down through the pandemic struggling to make ends meet. I do love the idea here and although I was initially disappointed I do feel they have a good idea going and I may have just caught them on a bad day. So I would still try this place out again and hopefully have a much better experience my next time."

Mama Easley's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (511) • $$

"THE BEST PLACE WE ATE IN OBX!!! I'm not even kidding you, this was my favorite place we ate in Corolla & all of OBX. The shrimp basket... the shrimp is perfectly fried and seasoned, same with the fries, and you can tell it's super fresh. The remoulade sauce it's served with is what dreams are made of. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic, loved the textures, and various flavors. The crab-cake sandwich was probably the best one we had on our trip too! The hush puppies were okay but we liked the fries way more. We ended up here three times and brought more and more people with us, each group saying they also loved it. Lastly, the service was SO GOOD! The gals working up front were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, 10/10!"

Chic-A-Sea Restaurants

★★★★☆ 3.9 (33) • $

"Before I start I would like to say that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's begin!.When I first moved to the state of Virginia from Brooklyn NY I moved to what they call the peninsula where I first noticed the chic-a-sea restaurants. Believe it or not I have never tried any of their restaurants for whatever reason, I can't say!. You're probably wondering why I decided to try it now, well a co worker and I had to bring a work truck to this side of the water from what they call the south side. My co worker made this seem like the best restaurant he had on this side of the water, so I said to myself. Why not?...I ordered a big chicken combo that comes with fries and a drink, then I called my wife and asked if she wanted anything and she wanted a big chicken but just the sandwich not the combo. My co worker also recommended the corn fritters which were ok, not bad at all.. my wife thought they were decent as well. But she said her big chicken sandwich was thin and it seemed like they cut the chicken breast in half and put it between the bread. I would hope they didn't but in any event she was not too pleased with it.. she also stated the chicken was bland and unflavored...My big chicken sandwich was not thin but was blend and unflavored as well. I will say my fries came out hot so no complaints there other than it was a kid size amount of fries for the amount you pay for in the combo price!!I would like to add my beverage that came with my big chicken combo was full of ice and very little beverage which after a few sips I was still thirsty because I had minimal beverage and a cup full of ice. I was not happy about that!. The overall cost was kind of pricey for what you get. Overall I gave 3 stars for my first visit. I would consider trying them out again but getting something different on the menu!."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 3.5 (37) • $$

"First timer ever to any Cane's and I thought it was pretty dang good! Went through the drive-thru and our order was taken quickly. We got the Canetastic combo which included 6 chicken tenders, fries, coleslaw, Texas toast and a drink. It's a good portion for $18 and can serve 2! The chicken tenders were very good and the crinkle cut fries were also delicious. Texas toast was good and the coleslaw average. Found out that the only sauce that they serve beside the cane sauce is honey mustard and ketchup and hot sauce. The honey mustard was very good!!! Will be back for more delicious chicken tenders when the craving hits!"

Fast 5 Grocery & Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (23)

"This food is always good. My office orders from here pretty regularly and I have yet to hear them complain. There's always at least one dissatisfied person when we order from anywhere else, but never from this place. Plus, the service is always top notch."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (16)

"I was able to come here soon after they opened. They had Good sandwiches with meat that they slice in front of you. Service was fairly quick ad well which was nice. Since this restaurant is new, it was very nice and clean. Parking was easy and close by. This restaurant is right in front of the Obici apartment complex and near Aldi and Dunkin Donuts."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"This would have been a 5 star rating however if you want to order online you have to use your debit or credit card. I have a gift card but since there will be a remaining balance I can't place order online. So I have to personally order in store at the counter. Today, there was no wait at counter. Food was prepared exactly as requested."

Wawa

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (8)

"Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's go!!..I stopped by during my lunch break to grab a quick bite to eat before I went back to work, I walked in and realized the hand sanitizer automatic pumps that are located right by the door as you enter were not operating so I had to go into the restroom in order to wash my hands ( even though I was going in the restroom anyway ) but it's still an inconvenience not to sanitize before the sanitation of my hands.. we all know your hands can never be too clean, that's also comparing to a individual who has too much money! That phrase is non existent and you will never hear anyone in their right mind speak those words! Well let's get back to the review,I apologize for getting off the subject!. I ordered a shorti sub toasted with honey roasted turkey and cheddar cheese. When I got the sub and began to eat I I realized how they over toasted my sub roll, it was so hard that I couldn't even bite into my sub because the roll was too hard, the meat and cheese was also nonexistent because of the amount of meat and cheese that they attempted to put on it!, it was very unsatisfying to eat so I ended up throwing it away! I took off one star:-1 The sub roll was too hard and the meat and cheese was near nonexistent!.-2 The sanitizer pumps not operating for my hand sanitizing needs!.I would return but I will have second thoughts on purchasing another sub!."

Hardee's

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (22) • $

"I don't do fast food very often but my wife and I were in the area and were hungry so we buzzed in for some takeout. This was only my second visit to a Hardee's restaurant in the past few years so I chose to skip the drive-through lane in favor of entering the restaurant and studying the menu boards. This stand-alone restaurant sports a large private parking lot with more than enough room to handle their volume of business. The lot appeared well maintained and free of debris. Entry and exit to and from Indian River road is convenient and easy. Upon approach I noticed signage on the entrance door indicating they give a ten percent discount with a valid military or public service ID, I thought it was a nice touch. When I entered the restaurant I was struck by how clean it was. It was a Wednesday evening shortly before 7 PM, there were a few diners scattered around the dining room and all the empty tables were cleared and clean. I checked the restroom and found it clean and properly stocked with supplies. Service was great. The employees were friendly and efficient, they seemed to enjoy a feeling of comradery as they worked together. All I ordered was a couple of thick cheeseburgers (one with bacon and one without) and a couple fries but they made me feel like a valued customer and I enjoyed the experience. When we got home we dug right in and enjoyed our meal. The fries were delicious, crispy outside and soft inside with just the right amount of salt. The burgers were excellent, cooked just right, constructed very well and presented attractively. We really enjoyed them. They actually looked a lot like the pictures on the menu board, how often does that happen at a fast food restaurant? This Hardee's is the closest one to my house so if I get the urge for another fast food burger I won't hesitate to pay them another visit."

Papa Johns Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (10) • $

"I usually keep it simple and order pepperoni pizzas and wings. They make good pizza and wings that are pretty consistent with other Papa John's I've ordered from. Stellar customer service. They're always polite here."

Harvest Grille

★★★★☆ 4 (4) • $$

"Had several meals at the Harvest Grille complimentary with a weekend conference I was attending here. I expected the set menus to be dry and unappealing but all the food was prepared with care! My whole family enjoyed the meals we had - especially their decadent desserts. A solid place to dine, especially if you have young kids. This is a great restaurant for a hotel restaurant!"

Tokyo Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (40) • $$

"The location is very nice, and the decor on the inside is absolutely beautiful! They originally started off as a carryout, and the food was what you expected for a carryout.I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with Jelly Boba, Volcano Roll and Chicken Hibachi bowl. The server was very courteous and was concerned that I wouldn't like the Milk Tea (she has had a lot of complaints). She brought me both the milk tea and a Jasmine Honey Lemon. I actually realllllly liked the Milk Tea-a great Matcha flavor and the jelly was great.The Volcano roll was different with a thicker crust-I actually thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was unique. When the Chicken Hibachi Bowl came out I was a little confused-not really the "normal Hibachi" I was expecting. The chicken looked like they kind of pre-prep it and then use a sauce to flavor. I am used to a butter/soy flavor with Yum Yum and Ginger sauce-they provided a Yum Yum like sauce, but no Ginger. The chicken was rubbery and flavorless and I am afraid it may have been microwaved. I am giving them 3 stars-FOR NOW. I am hoping that now that they are no longer carryout only, they may be able to expand how they make their food and I will try it again later."

Arby's Division Office

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (23) • $

"This five star review goes out to their Root Beer Float, and the wonderful service of Georgette. I ordered sandwiches for my family, I'm not too fond of the sandwiches myself as they're often dry and not fresh, but my family enjoys them. I was having one of the most difficult days in my life, stressed, exhausted, emotionally raw, but Georgette's wonderful service, kind voice and words did a lot to turn my day around, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart.Also, the Root Beer Float was absolutely delicious! Now that I can give a mega 5 stars to, hands down."

"If your lucky enough to stop in when they have the fresh blackend tuna salad special, it's a must have! The Philly and hand cut fries never disappoint. Friendly folks with great service! If your on the way down to the OBX for vacation don't miss out! If your a local then you already know what's up."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (6)

"I was in town visiting my grandson who loved Jersey Mikes. I've never had it. I am on a Gluten Free diet however and Jersey Mikes offers Gluten Free bread. We ate here twice. The first time was the Italian with GF bread. The bread is pretty good! I was surprised. They to special care in preparing mine. I appreciated that. Completely separate area from the others. Sadly the sandwich was a tad dry and flavorless. The second time I had the Roast Beef and Provolone. It was better. All in all I'd say it's worth going to for the Gluten Free. It was a clean and well lit place as well with friendly staff. Give it go!"

Prince Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"Decided to try the chicken tenders combo today and it was perfect for lunch. Three hot, crispy tenders with hot fries and a can of soda - made to order, came out quickly, and the gentleman who took and made my order was very nice and helpful. Check them out if you haven't already! Just a heads up, all food is to go, no dining in."
