I've always loved Taste Unlimited for their fresh ingredients and high-quality sandwiches, and their February special, the Antipasto Sandwich, did not disappoint!Packed with salami, fresh mozzarella, grilled artichoke, roasted red peppers, pesto and a zesty balsamic drizzle, this sandwich is bursting with bold flavors. The combination of salty, savory, and tangy notes makes every bite delicious. Served on their rosemary ciabatta bread, it has the perfect crunch on the outside with a soft, airy inside.Pair it with one of their house-made soups or a side of their addictive chips (dill pickle ones are my FAV) and you've got a meal worth coming back for. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere at Taste is always welcoming.If you're a fan of classic Italian flavors, don't miss out on this limited-time sandwich!m

We really enjoy how fresh everything is here. They also have a nice balance of traditional flavor combos and more unique options. It's always hard to pick only one item for lunch when I'm there. The only real negative is the limited amount of seating compared to how busy this location always is. I'm sure it's different when the weather is perfect, but I always seem to visit when it's cold and raining.

I was visiting Taste for the first time, with my adult daughter who lives in Virginia Beach. She had been to this Taste numerous times, as well as to some of their other locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Our visit was for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Sunday morning in mid-April, 2023. For a first-timer, I found the layout of the store/restaurant to be a tad confusing. When you enter, there's a wide variety of take-out items -- refrigerated packaged sandwiches, salads, juices, bakery items, wines, pantry items, and more. My daughter thankfully directed us to the counter where we could order fresh sandwiches, salads, and soups. I ordered the Thai Salad ($12.99), which features house-roasted chicken breast, red cabbage, shredded carrots, cucumber, roasted red peppers, and crushed peanuts on romaine with a Thai peanut vinaigrette and topped with crunchy noodles. It's served in an eco-friendly bowl with a bread end. My daughter ordered a Princess Anne Signature Sandwich ($8.99). This is a meatless sandwich which features Havarti cheese, avocado, roasted red peppers, romaine, tomato, and roasted red pepper aioli on multigrain bread. We both also "made it a meal", which added a small bag of Route 66 chips and Boylan's fountain drink for an additional $3.99 each. Food quality. 5/5. Our food tasted fresh, and was very tasty. The quantity was also good. I had leftover salad for lunch the next day and my daughter had half of her sandwich. Atmosphere. 4/5. The restaurant/shop is large, with plentiful seating on the 2nd floor. As mentioned, it is a bit confusing with options for eating in or take out. Tables were clean, as was the restroom. Service was fast and efficient. Value. (3/5). We found the restaurant to be a bit a expensive for a sandwich or salad, and even more once you add chips and a drink. However, the quality of the ingredients used was good as were the portions. Parking was also easy on a Sunday morning in April. I could imagine though that it might be tight in the summer. We also noticed bicycle racks, and some patrons buying provisions for their bike ride.

Taste is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. I absolutely love their fresh ingredients in their sandwiches and soups and also how they offer specialty foods and wines in their stores. The staff in every store I've been in have always been super nice and welcoming.My go-to sandwich is always the Virginian, which is a signature sandwich made with prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine lettuce, tomato and banana peppers on ciabatta bread! It's simply perfection! I also purchase the Tortellini Salad to go with it which is also just as great. My daughter always builds her own sandwich which consists of meat, cheese and lettuce on ciabatta bread, simple but very tasty. I tried the Chicken Pot Pie Soup for the first time and it was different due to the slight sour taste but very delicious. It consisted of pot pie ingredients just without the crust but it was great!Taste is the perfect spot to get a great tasting sandwich or even items for a fun picnic or party. I've never had a bad experience with Taste and I love trying a new item every time I go whether it be a new drink, soup or dip!

Always a great place for a classic sandwich. The service is great. Decor screams deli as it should. This is must go for a quick lunch or a deli craving hunger.

First time here and the food and ambiance was great! I ordered the BYO sandwich and got blackened tuna salad, on French bread, lettuce , cheese , onions, and house dressing on the side. I loved it! The house dressing made me want it in the bottle. Now for a beautiful Sunday morning, the wait time was long-- 30 mins when we arrived and about 45-50 minutes by the time the crowd started. We sat outside and it was nice and pretty clean (it rained the day before so a little muddy but not too bad). The only downfall was they messed up fathers order and forgot our bread ends so we had to take it back. Other than that, I will be returning! 9/10 recommend.

We had lunch at Taste on Shore Drive. It is their flagship location and it's huge. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside where there was plenty shaded seating. Not only is it a very nice sandwich shop but has a grab and go section , gifts, assorted wines, beer, and all kids of delicious food (dinners, snacks, cheeses, deserts etc) to take home. I my favorite and go to sandwich is the Northennder but today I tried something different, the Inlet. Everything is good so you can't go wrong. The kids got Turkey bento boxes They have a rewards program and the first cashier did not ask me for my number and I forgot as my grandkids were in a mad rush to play outside in the fenced in yard. I went back to get them more BBQ chips and the next cashier was nice enough to ask me and get my last order on my account. You just have to ask.
