16 Best Sandwich Shops in Norfolk

“(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.“

“A cool little neighborhood eatery that's nestled away right off of the main street. This neighborhood gem is easy to miss. The food is delicious. The inside is small . The menu has an array of sandwiches, soups, and salads. The food is really good and the staff is super chill. I've consistently gotten quick accurate service.“

“Mouth watering, amazing food!! Their burgers are the best I've had in the area. Well worth the price!“

“Born in Philadelphia, 1946. If you want a better Italian sub, Philadelphia is 7.5 hours North.“

“Delicious food made with love and served with it too! Dog friendly place to grab a sub and a beer with outside seating available.“

“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.“

“really disappointed spending 40 bucks on 2 sándwiches and a salad to get home and have the wrong sandwich“

“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.“

“Ordered from Grubhub, got the Typical Veg w Mozzarella, Roasted Red Pepper and Basil Pesto. The potato salad was delicious, sandwich was so fresh and just overall great quality. Will definitely be ordering from them again!“

“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)“

“Man we love this place! You can not get better service, food or atmosphere than this place!!Kudos to Trey, Payton, KY and Walter!! You all rock. The food was amazing.Vegetarian options: You can customize however you want. They even have lettuce wraps.“

“A little storefront restaurant, with the usual Jersey Mike's fair. The staff are very friendly, and my sandwich was very good. A nice quick stop. Not very busy when I was there, but it was a Sunday and I'm not sure but I think college is out for the summer“

“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.“

“Awesome, friendly place!!“

“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!“
