Padows always hits the spot. Sometimes we pop in just to grab a drink from the cold case or a snack, other times we grab a sandwich made to order. Service is always kind and the food is always fresh and delicious. read more

I've lived in the area for 10 yrs and never went in a Padow's. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many choices. Reminded me sort of like a deli in NY! Their sandwiches are delicious! read more

I'm giving it a three and not a five star because they do not add enough veggies like lettuce or tomato. I have barely any lettuce on my sandwich. It's mostly meat and typically that's not a bad thing. The only thing they need to do is add more veggies like stop holding back on the veggies now we need to be healthy in America.!!! The service was impeccable. The only thing stopping me from giving it. A five star is that they did not know how to properly wrap a burrito wrap. And that is horrible coming from people in the restaurant business yes I'm in the restaurant business. The sandwich is falling apart. There is not enough veggies in the sandwich to even call it a sandwich. It is just meat, cheese, and a wrap with sprinkling a veggies. I was really hoping this was gonna become my new subway, but if they do not start adding more veggies to their sandwiches that I'm only going to refer this place to people that like meat and not to people who like sandwiches. In the below picture is how they decided to wrap it. I had to re-wrap the second part of my rap to properly eat it. read more

Padow's Hams & Deli - Sun dried tomato wrap number 26. Padow's Club - Meat Shops Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I reserved and pre-paid for a suprise meal package through Too Good To Go App and when I arrived, I was told--dismissively--that they no longer participate in the program, despite the offer still appearing daily on the app. There was no attempt to help or explain, and I left disappointed and needing to request a refund. Unfortunately, this experience ensured I won't be returning. read more

First time here ever and was in the shopping center and was early to meet a friend so walked on in to check this place out. It's a casual order at the counter and they call out your name when your order is ready and you pick it up. Have a large variety of sandwiches, as well as soups, desserts and salads (garden, but macaroni, potato, pasta, and even prepared deviled eggs!) I grabbed a slice of their carrot cake for later and it was delicious! Very moist and tasty. read more

Filthy. Furniture, counters bathroom all suffering from lack of maintenance and cleanliness. Wish I'd seen all this before I ordered. This says as much about the local community that patronizes a business like this as it does about the lack of effective management. The one in my hometown is 1000 times cleaner. Service was slow but the sandwich was tasty. read more

The food is great..customer service is excellent. This shop never disappoints. No matter what I get, it is fresh and delicious!

I've never written a yelp review in my life, but I couldn't leave this establishment and not. I used to live locally and had eaten here several times with good results, unfortunately this time that wasn't the case. The service was extremely slow, waited half an hour for 2 sandwhiches and party of ten that came in after us was served there food long before we were. There was mold on several cakes in the display case, and not just a spot or two. The bacon is pre-cooked, which for a $14 sandwich is outrageous to me. The soda from the fountain tasted like dish water, and I tried a few to see if it was a specific kind, but I couldn't even drink it. The sandwhich was mediocre at best, I ordered the Virginian and was not at all impressed, especially after waiting 30 minutes for it. read more

A true deli that offers a wide array of delicious sandwiches and a host of handmade sides. Everything is made fresh, to order. They also offer spiral sliced whole and half hams that are wonderful and lean. Indoor and outdoor seating is available with ample parking. read more

Grandma got a Rueben at around 6:30pm and by the next morning had severe food poisoning. Beware when eating here!

Good food, fast service. When deciding whether to eat fast food or good food fast, try good food fast at Padow's. Padow's has An extensive sandwich menu. They use high quality meats and cheeses. The sandwiches are large enough to split. They have wonderful fresh soups, salads and sides. Try the macaroni salad, it is fantastic. The cookies are great. This is the place to pick up a Healthy lunch for the office, pool, or picnic. You can dine in their large dining area inside or the patio outside. Padow's claim to fame are hams. They offer a full selection online that can be mailed. I use this service to order hams at Christmas. The hams Are always well received and packaged well. Everyone is so happy to get a Padow's ham for Christmas or Easter. I can't forget the Virginia Peanuts-they have those too. While Padow's is not gift shop per se, I have found gifts for family and friends here. The folks working here are very helpful and friendly, the shop is spotlessly clean and neat. A great neighborhood shop. read more

Padow's is a great, locally owned and operated deli that replaces the standard Subway or Jimmy John's. By far, this this one of the best sandwich shops in the are! Recently new management took over and fixed a lot of issues, namely the weird hours. Since the new owner was originally just a customer, they experienced the let down of the shop closing mid-afternoon. Because of this, THIS Padow's now stays open later than their other locations! It was a very welcome surprise. Padow's also offers little rewards cards with a special hole punch that earn you a free sandwich, but they WANT to go completely paperless and instead track them with a QR code for your phone. All the same, they are still honoring and using the cards as they know not everyone has a phone or wants to use it for anything else aside making and taking calls, so if you choose, you can stick to the card system. Personally I'm glad to see business actively trying to limit it's impact on the environment! My go-to here is the BLT, but their menu is MASSIVE, so odds are whatever kind of sandwich you want, it's on the menu (If not, one assumes they'd gladly make it for you!) The soups are also good, along with their desserts. The dining area is nice and clean. If you're considering this place, I suggest you try it if you want a truly delicious sandwich! read more

Just had one of the best salads. It's hard to find a fresh cut salad so many are pre-cut and taste like your typical bag salad which is not bad but there salads are super fresh. They said they have a lady who only made a salad for them fresh every day. Best part is it's under 7 bucks and it comes in a big bowl which is nice because you can mix the salad dressing in it. Hard to eat a salad on a plate. The customer services was outstanding super welcoming. Just wanted to share this with you. If you are in the Midlothian area right next to the Olive Garden restaurant. read more

The quality had really gone downhill and the service too. The sandwiches barely have more than a slice of meat on them and the last few times the lettuce on a cold sandwich was very wilted. Also, whilr I know how difficult it is to find good service, when you have a customer call you and specifically ask you to set aside a large container of soup and offer to pay for it, you should ensure the soup is put aside. Got there to an employee indicating she had not done that and act shocked the soup container was empty. And two weeks ago, 2 out of 3 sandwich orders were incorrect. When my Mother in law called, she was told "bring in the receipt and we will refund you". At 82 years old, she is not going to go out AGAIN for $15! Needless to say, not only was a sale lost today over the soup, but now two customers are also lost. My Mother in law and I will both visit other area restaurants. Sorry Padow's, but you are just not cutting it anymore. read more

I am a fan of Padow's Deli. It is a bit dated inside, but when the sandwiches are good who cares! My favorite is the Virginian. I think the potato, pasta, and macaroni salad cup portions are a bit odd. The small size is basically a sauce container. The salads are good. I tried the deviled eggs on my last visit. I do not recommend the deviled eggs. They were far from fresh! I also noticed on a few visits that a few slices of cake had mold on them. Just stick with the sandwiches and you should be okay. read more

The Short: Padows Hams & Deli has decent sadnwiches at exorbitant prices. Padows is stuck on the corner of a small shopping center at the end of the Powhite Parkway by Brandermill. It's very plain decor and a confused sense of whether it's a deli or a convenience store. Peanuts, candy bars, bags of chips, and a token amount of Pork products fill some shelves in the back. The customer service is sad - there were 5 employees working during my visit, none of whom acted as if they cared at all about the customers in the building. The order taker was disinterested in what sandwich I wanted, didn't know what was actually on the Reuben, and seemed confused when I asked if the bread was made in-house (it wasn't). The checkout counter employee was standing away from the counter using her cell phone. Purses and random office supplies where messily arranged with behind the registers - it's called the "back office" for a reason. The food was a rather sad portion for the price - I paid a total of $9.33 for a medium fountain drink and a Reuben that came with only a pickle. The reuben came served on a disposable foam plate ($0.012 from a local food service supplier - I checked). The corned beef itself was okay - a little tough, but not bad. The rye bread was okay, but came from a bag. The dill pickle was surpridsingly crisp - they might have actually cut it. The thousand island was okay and the saurkrat crisp, but I don't feel like this was worth $9.33. For $5 I would have a lot more satisfied with the food. There is open wifi here SSID: NETGEAR, but it may not actually belong to this restaurant. Would I come back? Nope. There's just no redeeming qualities here. Poor service, confused concept, okay food, overpriced. read more

Padow's Hams & Deli - A $9.33 sweet tea and reuben - Meat Shops Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I bought 2 pkg of country ham at this store. I asked for an email receipt, which I didn't get. Both packages had rotten meat; since they had no dates on them, how was I to know? Country ham lasts a long time; I can only assume it wasn't stored properly. Since this store was an hour from home, I did not attempt to return the products. read more

I love Padow's Deli and Hams. My favorite is the chicken salad sandwich with the slice of pickle! Always delicious! I can't say it's always the same when I go to another Padow's. This location always has sizable sandwiches and always perfectly prepared. Nice, friendly staff! read more

Food was decent deli food. Service was nice and fairly quick. I'd visit again. Their pickles were homemade.

I had Padow's deliver an assorted deli platter to my cousins' house after their mom passed away. They were thrilled by the great quality of the food. Everything was fresh and delivered on time. I'd definitely use them again. read more

Great food in the world. Stephanies's my favorite sandwich maker. Always happy with everyone of my visits. read more

Padow's Hams & Deli - Padows ham and deli . Club sandwich. 30. Reuben - Meat Shops Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I LOVE this locally owned sandwich shop. My favorite is the egg salad which is one of those sandwiches that you either love or HATE. Padows definitely makes it yummy! This is a great grab and go place to get a quick sandwich if you are trying to avoid fast food but still need your food FAST. You walk up, order your sandwich, grab a drink and a side(and they have plenty of sides like all flavors of chips, potato salad etc.), pay and wait for them to make it. It comes out wrapped and ready to go with a pickle. read more

I have never been so disappointed in the service and quality of food at Padows before. It was one of my favorite places to go because I think they have the best BLT. But I'll be going across the street to waterford grill now. If you don't want to use more than one leaf of lettuce or one small slice to tomato, I suggest you get a smaller wrap. All it is is bread and bacon and usually that's a good thing but there should be two other prominent ingredients. This sandwich has always been on point but I'm guessing something has changed. I would've said something if I had dined in but I didn't see my sandwich until I got home. I also waited a very long time which is never he case either, lunch rush or not. read more

Padow's Hams & Deli - Inside the deli. - Meat Shops Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Food is pretty generic. Wish it was more flavorful since it's a deli. All of soups are bad - no flavor. Raw veggies in the veggie soup (with no salt or seasoning), the Brunswick stew is too sweet, and the chili just bland. The sandwiches are pretty much what you'd make at home. I don't mind plain-jane sandwiches, but the prices are nuts for the quality. Easily spending $10-12 for a run-of-the-mill sandwich, small baggie if chips, and a fountain drink. The desserts also look stale and the salads are pretty morning with packets if dressing. Over the years, the appeal of this deli has overall gone down significantly. I've worked nearby for 8 years, but instead of it being my healthy go-to option, I only go now as a last resort when I'm in a rush and need to get back to work. I'm finding that I've gone from visiting once or twice per week, to once or twice per quarter. read more

I have always enjoyed the sandwiches and services here. They always have a variety of nice gift items such as VA Peanuts, hams, and pies for sale. The sandwiches and sides are very good. The only con is that if you get your sandwich to go the plastic it is wrapped in inside of the plastic bag can make it soggy. I usually just open the bag and put some napkins there. I eat a lot of grilled cheese so I enjoy their grilled cheese sandwiches and potato salad or pasta salad sides and pickle. Tea is always fresh as well. read more

Good local spot for a quick lunch or full ham. Highly recommend the Virginian, it'll fill you up.

I used to go here all the time for my ritual lunch before work. However after believing I had something in my sub that should not be there I investigated and found leftover beeswax in bedded in my food. Mistakes happen, but when it comes to food and health stores that cannot keep high quality control they should not be in business. read more

It may be a good idea to at least greet your customers before approaching them at the table after being seated for 5 or 10 minutes and rudely asking..."Are y'all gonna order anything?" I intentionally support small businesses especially this year and my family and I have supported this deli for over 10 years. There was not one other customer in the restaurant either. Nor was there for the entire next hour and half. There is no way I would have sat there and not ordered anything. We did stay and eat but will not be returning. The way you make someone feel makes a lasting impression. I'll make sure I support someone else. read more

Omg the sandwiches are amazing so tasty and the bread is so soft.. Love it!

My wife wanted something to drink and we were right next door to Padows. She orders a drink and did a little browsing. The place looked clean and organized and the staff was friendly. We didn't get anything to eat this time but when I return I will have to try something. I did notice the prices were on the high side but if the food is good it will be worth it. So there isn't much else to say about getting a fountain drink, except it made my wife happy and that's a good thing. read more

Service at Padow's should only merit a two-start rating, but the ham truly was tasty. My mother ordered a holiday ham over the phone and was greeted by unfriendly staff. Upon picking up the ham for her, we were met by a very unprofessional employee who barely asked us how we were doing. The store's employees' personal coffee drinks were also placed, opened, in the deli case, which is both unprofessional and unsanitary. The owner seemed very skeptical that we had already paid for the ham as well. This review will certainly seen picky, but for a restaurant that prides itself on quality service and food, it did not meet these expectations. I unfortunately will not be returning. read more

Damn ... I was starving from having to work through lunch and thought a Paddow's chicken salad sandwich would be perfect. Grabbed one on the drive home, sat down at my kitchen table, and unwrapped ... tuna salad. They took the order correctly, but that's so not what went into my bag. Usually love Paddow's, but today? SMELL YOUR SANDWICH BEFORE YOU LEAVE. read more

Great sandwiches and quick, friendly service. I had the club and my husband had the Italian. Both were great!

We ordered a company lunch, everything was incorrect. A coworker called in the let them know we were missing an order completely and that every sandwich we received was incorrect, they decided they would correct the order and they wanted the sandwiches that were incorrect back. Not a problem. Then we received a call back from the owner and she stated there was no way they were incorrect she made them herself. She continued to argue and argue and refused to be helpful or understanding in any way. Sorry Padows but you lost really good customers read more
