“Authentic and fantastic food- our go to spot for brunch or lunch, and we have tried just about everything on the menu. The staff is friendly and always provide great service! If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!“

“We was looking for a Canes close to where we were staying in Norfolk and Waze led us to the NAS Norfolk. The food was very fresh and hot“

“I just had an amazing experience at Five Guys Burgers and Fries! I ordered the Little Bacon Cheeseburger with Cajun-seasoned fries and a vanilla milkshake. Let me tell you, every bite was fantastic! The burger was made from premium meat, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. The fries? Freshly cut and made daily, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. And the milkshake—absolutely incredible! Freshly made every morning with top-quality ingredients, it was the perfect treat to round out my meal.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Emily, who was both welcoming and incredibly helpful. This was my first time eating here, and she really knew her stuff when it came to the menu. Honestly, with her knowledge and customer service skills, I’m surprised she’s not in management or a corporate role—she’s that good!

JR was on the grill, and I could tell right away that he knew exactly what he was doing. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors really shined.

This definitely won’t be my last time at Five Guys. Thanks again to Emily for the exceptional service! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out!“

“Absolutely one of our favorite places in Norfolk. Whether with coworkers or family, this restaurant has never failed to deliver great food and amazing customer service.“

“I had such a delightful experience at Chick-fil-A in Norfolk, Virginia! The staff was incredibly welcoming and efficient, making our visit truly special. A huge shoutout to Desi, who went above and beyond to make my 3-year-old daughter feel special. Desi gifted her a plush cow toy and a complimentary drink gift card, which completely made n day. It's rare to encounter such genuine kindness and care, and it turned a simple lunch stop into a memorable moment. The food was great, as always, but the exceptional service is what really stood out. Thank you for the experience!“

“Love this place, such good food. I love their chicken and it’s like a true home in a busy world. They have the best chicken, but I would not recommend for vegetarians because there are very limited non chicken options. However, they have any kind of chicken you can want. So many sauces too. The bathrooms are clean and they have very fast service that is to die for. Also, they have a great work environment. All the employees seem happy and healthy and very productive and ready to help. Love this place and it’s a true gem in the rough. Chick fil a you have my heart and could never be taken away. Cannot explain how much this place means to me. I’m so glad I found it.“

“Store is well organized, prices are more than reasonable, customer service is neighborly and attentive. Gyros are divine comfort food, and the portion of fries is very generous.

I hear they were acquired by the Watergate chain this past week, and I'm not surprised at all!“

“giant fish sammich, grilled salmon“

“they do well here considering the high demand, but its frustrating that most of the time when i order a sunjoy with unsweetened tea, i am given one with sweet tea, so i end up paying an upcharge for a drink i dont even want. would be nice if i could get a discount for not getting a drink with a combo, or if they had iced coffee“

“I was helped out by two team members. I think one of their names was Eva or Eve? She was very helpful, and so was the guy that helped as well. Definitely would recommend the salad. It was fresh and tasted great.“

“Arby's food always hits nice when you go there, yk? The employees were friendly and happily refilled my drink 4 times. Lol
The restaurant itself was in bad need of a mopping in the lobby. The floor was quite sticky and visibly dirty, like it had been sticky for quite a while. We might have gone right after a rush. Anyway, the food outshined the floor situation. Would go again.“

“I was the only customer in here at this time and I just had to give an excellent review at this Hardee’s because when I walked in it was the cleanest Hardee’s I have ever seen in my entire life! I mean it was absolutely spotless!! Also, the young lady who took my order, Quanaisha, was absolutely superb!! She and her fellow coworkers are doing a remarkable job keeping everything unbelievably clean and providing absolutely fantastic service. This experience was like a breath of fresh air!! Keep up the great work!!“

“These heroes took care of business! This privileged man drove through the drive thru the WRONG way and expected me to back up! I absolutely refused. He told an employee he was prepared to stay put until sundown. I said bring it on! The employees implored him to back up but he refused and tried to bully me into backing up. An employee even came outside to talk some sense into the privileged man. Long story short they finally threatened to call the police. Since he was going the wrong way he finally backed up and went thru the drive thru in the correct direction like a normal sane human being. The employees apologized to me but they didn’t owe me an apology. They were professional and courteous to me. I really appreciate the way they handled a situation caused by an idiot.“

“Wow, where do I start?! I placed an online order and popped in before the estimated time of readines. The gentleman (Earl) running the register immediately acknowledged my presence without neglecting the customers before him and assured me that my order would be ready momentarily. He remained attentive throughout my brief wait, all while managing the register and assisting with other duties. Earl is the Epitome of what great customer service looks like. Please let him know that he is greatly appreciated!“

“This is just a Subway and with that said, this is also one of the most consistent, well managed, and clean fast food resturants I have ever been to. The owners and staff are fantastic and do an amazing job running this location.

Working in downtown Norfolk, I am very thankful to have them for a quick and affordable meal option.“

“The Dairy Queen in the Ocean View area of Norfolk is a consistent and delightful spot for anyone craving classic American fast food and, of course, their iconic frozen treats. It's a reliable local favorite that delivers on its promise, making it a solid four-star destination.
First and foremost, the Blizzards are always on point. Whether you're a fan of the classic Oreo, a seasonal special, or a custom creation, they consistently blend them to perfection – thick enough to hold upside down, as promised! Their soft-serve cones are also a nostalgic delight, and the Dilly Bars never disappoint. When it comes to the frozen desserts, this DQ is a winner, providing that perfect cool-down on a warm Norfolk day.
Beyond the treats, their hot food menu is also surprisingly good for a fast-food joint. The burgers are consistently hot and satisfying, and the fries are usually crispy. It's a great option when you're looking for a quick and easy meal that isn't just about the ice cream.
The location in Ocean View is convenient and generally clean. While it's a standard fast-food setup, the staff is typically friendly and efficient, handling orders with a smile, even when things get busy. There's a pleasant, casual atmosphere that makes it easy to pop in for a quick bite or a sweet indulgence.
Why not five stars? Like many fast-food establishments, the dining area can sometimes feel a bit basic and could benefit from an occasional refresh to enhance the overall ambiance. While service is generally good, during peak summer hours or busy periods, there can be a bit of a wait, which is understandable but can be a minor inconvenience.
Overall, the Dairy Queen in Ocean View is a fantastic local spot for a consistently good fast-food meal and, more importantly, those beloved DQ treats. It's a reliable and pleasant experience that brightens up any day, earning its four stars as a go-to neighborhood favorite.“

“I’m only giving five stars because the gentleman working tonight seem to be working by himself at that I was running the store like a champ and he was still kind at the same time. He deserves a raise because I stopped coming to this location because how badly it is managed, there’s never enough people working the people working normally have an attitude And half the time the food would come out bad, but I decided to give it another shot tonight and the young man that y’all have working is the only reason why I’ll still keep coming back because y’all got some issues to fix that y’all keep overlooking. it’s constantly busy, but y’all never have enough stuff because y’all probably don’t wanna pay people enough.“

“The most underrated seafood restaurant there is... came in not knowing what kind of experience to expect and the results where just insanely good. The food was crisp and fried to the correct degree, along with the service being incredibly helpful--combined with amazing quality seats and even plastic plates makes this a full-on 5 Star Review.“

“Amazing food fair price, unlike the other places here. The Mexican restaurant has good verity, I would recommend the bowels and only the burrito if you're on the go. Never get the tacos they aren't bad, but they are worth the price, and you get very little toppings and i don't think they make smaller tacos they could qualify for the record smallest for high cost. This restaurant is like a cheaper Chipotle for reference. Sushi place his is really over priced and the food is not fresh. I would normally recommend Subway because of the price, but they put little vegetables even if you ask for extra, and if you ask for light sauce, they pile it on.“
