HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS! PLEASE SUPPORT!…read more I have lived in California, New York, Washington, Kuwait, Iraq, and now Virginia and this eatery is where I have found the best food! The service was amazing and the people were so kind even when I ordered way too many items for 2 adults and a child. You can't go wrong with anything here but I highly recommend the chicken noodle soup, the club, and the cold plate; the pasta salad was to die for and SO fresh! Had to end up taking food home because we couldn't finish everything and we definitely weren't letting it go to waste! Overall, this place makes you feel like you're apart of their family. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and really care about the people they serve and the food they put out. I can't wait to come back to try different sandwiches!

We stopped by The Downtown Eatery today, located on High Street in the heart of downtown…read morePortsmouth. This is a fantastic place to enjoy a great sandwich for Lunch. Wendy was doing double duty handing both the counter, as well as making the sandwiches. I ordered a Corned Beef and Pastrami Sandwich with a side of Potato Salad. My Wife had a Turkey Sandwich with a side of Macaroni Salad. Both were excellent. They are generous with the meat on their sandwiches here, and we probably could have split one for both of us along with the sides that we ordered, but what the hell, you live only once! Chris, the owner popped in, just as Wendy finished making our sandwiches, and chatted with us for a while. He and Wendy both made us feel right at home! If there one small critique, I would encourage them to get a liquor license. Otherwise, everything was great! I highly recommend this wonderful eatery in Portsmouth!

Very cool crowd of people to talk to, listen to their cell phone conversations on speaker. Five stars! It's a market that has a bunch of Mexican stuff, some Korean stuff, some American stuff I'm not really too sure what's going on there. Bathroom was well a bathroom. Bar soap and the toilet look like it could been cleaned but hey look it's a bathroom. Fries were probably the worst thing here. Don't get them. Too soggy. But that chopped cheese really hit the spot! Lots of people ordering food so it can't be that bad!

I have had their fried chicken, their amazing 4 meat salad, and their pickles, and cakes. The restaurant is in downtown Portsmouth and I know the stigma associated with Portsmouth but I have been going to this location for office lunch pickups, girl's night gathethings, and we have never experienced a problem with anything. The people coming to this spot are here to eat and chat while the orders are being prepared. The parking lot has security and the overhead lights turn on at dusk. The owner is a very kind person. Check it out, you will be pleased.

The smell drew me in the first time while visiting Lowe's and so glad I took a chance. A line is always a good sign that there are likely regulars and that spells something good is going on. The menu is posted on the outside and is simple fair type with burgers, sausages & cheesesteaks. The one young guy running the grille was friendly and recommended the cheesesteaks which I gotta say as a lover was suspicious. However I was willing to risk it on the off chance this food stand in a parking lot could actually deliver a fabulous steak. The price was affordable for a footling around $10 and added a bottle water and tip came to $13+ The cheesesteak was completed in around 8 minutes wrapped up and in a bag with napkins. I popped it open in the car and was amazed at the pure size and amount of meat. The smell was glorious with steam waffling above. The bread was fresh and authentic to Philly. The only thing left was a bite and it did not disappoint one bit, just wowzers! It was good enough to return prior to writing a review. It ended up being a carbon copy of my success with another incredibly delicious cheesesteak. This time I used a nearby picnic table to enjoy. This is a chain food stand. The owner has two located at Lowe's in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach on Holland Rd. If you love cheesesteaks then Dominic's delivers a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. A 4.5 rounding up and later learned Yelp friend Terry was a super fan of their steaks which was cool. Don't forget to pick up a punch card when you buy 6 your 7th is FREE!

I don't see myself returning.

However, since the reopening they went so downhill I can't even believe that it's the same place. We arrived and they were busy, we grabbed a table and the staff came over we got coffee. Then we ordered, while waiting we had to get there attention to get more coffee which in a busy place is no big deal. When the food came over the waitress said can I get you anything else? I said how about some utensils to eat with? She left and never came back! Thank God we got spoons for the coffee or we would have had to eat with our hands!!!! Extremely disappointed, the staff was walking around but no utensils came? Then I got up to pay and the prices must have gone up without them putting it on the menu? If you decide to go, i wish you luck! As for me if I plan on spending over $30 for breakfast I will be doing it someplace else. I can't believe in the times we live in where the prices are so out of hand when you decide to spend the extra money to go out, it should be worth it!
