    Plain - Philly Style
    Jemesia J.

    I visited one Monday evening between 6-7:30. It wasn't overly busy but multiple people popped in when I did. I had never been here so I asked another customer what to get and she said "everything is good". I ordered a 12-in cheese steak with sweet peppers, fries and a bottled drink. I was shocked that the bill was $24 (14 for the sandwich, 7 for fries & drink). I ate a few fries on the drive home and they were good. I got a watermelon crush which I had never seen before and enjoyed it. I have mixed feelings about the cheesesteak. It didn't feel like enough cheese and the bread was pretty soggy. I think I will come back to try their pizza or non-cheesesteak sandwiches/wraps but we'll see!

    At 637PM order status showed delivery was running late.

    Based on the reviews, thought we would give ordering a try for some cheesesteaks. Ordered delivery and was advised it would he 45-55min. This was around 507PM. At 625PM food still not delivered, per the Yelp "track my order" feature; and at 638PM the app said delivery was delayed. Tried calling restaurant multiple times and it was ongoing busy. Finally called Grub-hub support and they say, they showed the order was delivered. I said well the app says my deliver has been delayed. Sure enough, food sitting outside on the ground and now luke warm. Have no idea when it was delivered, no knock, no update or alignment with the app. I understand that the delivery is by a 3rd party, though I am sharing so that you understand the experience customers may be having when attempting to order delivery from your establishment.

    My awful tasting hollow skinny Plain Cheesesteak - WHOLE , cheese is non-existent.

    Absolutely awful, a waste of my $27.10 . A 29 minute wait , 2 exhausted looking cooks ,1 cheese steak ,1 brownie, 1 fountain drink, more bread than meat , scorched tasting meat, didn't get the extra onions/mayo that I paid for . Foreign guy taking orders was so clueless . What happened to the friendly and family style like staff that used to be here with good customer service? Subs used to be stuffed fat to the max and so flavorful that you could save half a sandwich for dinner. I knew something was wrong when I read the room and the place wasn't packed wall to wall at lunch time like I'm used to seeing. I'm so disappointed and I wish I could get a refund, I've been coming here over 25 years and this will be it for me . This place used to be top tier and shake and move and have you in and out and satisfied. Great thing my other favorite cheesesteak spot in Virginia Beach -Philadelphia Cheese Steaks on Great Neck hasn't changed up at all and I'll continue to frequent there for great service and food. I'm gonna miss coming to Here when I'm Norfolk craving a good cheesesteak but it just doesn't hit like it used to. Wishing success to whoever did this!

    12" with mushrooms and all the peppers. Divine!

    ALL the ingredients tasted super fresh and cooled with loved. It took a minute for my order to come out, but great things are worth the wait. Staff was super friendly and the food was so good. It's beyond my ability to describe it accurately in words.

    Chicken Philly.. so juicy the bread got soggy

    We had 5 orders placed for my coworkers and I. The lady on the the phone was pleasant and respectful. She said it would be a 25m wait. When I arrived, there was a long line of people waiting as well as people enjoying their food. By the time I got to the front, my order was already done. All of my coworkers were very content with their Philly cheesesteak. I, on the other hand, had the chicken cheesesteak with sweet peppers and onions (12"). It was extremely flavorful and so juicy that the oil seeped through the paper lol. Putting it in the toaster oven for later tonight. Great eats for sure!

    I been going to Philly's for years. I ordered a turkey bacon club decker. I dont know what I received. I understand that things change with new management but the food that made this place the go to place shouldn't changed. When I got the sandwich 1st it was so much mayo that you can make two sandwiches with it. The manager called himself remaking the sandwich and it was even worst. Club decker is suppose to be with 3 pieces of bread but it was only 2 and very little turkey and it also was suppose to be a large for $9.75. Needless to say I would never go back after over 20+ years of giving them my business.

    Got the Philly special with meat and it was better than recent past. The prices have definitely gone up.

    The cheesesteak tasted good but for $16 you'd expect more meat. The amount of steak in the 12in is comparable to what you'd get at subway.

The chopped cheese on Doritos is like a walking taco, and is delicious. If the service/experience was anywhere close to what you see on their video's on socials, I'd give it more stars. I think it would be beneficial if they worked out the flow a little better. You pay for the food at the shop counter, then wait on line for the deli counter to give them you ticket, then wait around awkwardly in the shop for you food.

When you enter, you will see the sandwich/deli station to your left but walk forward to the register and pay for your food first. You will then go to the sandwich/deli station and hand them your ticket and they will proceed to make your food. I ordered the Chop cheese on a hero sub. The line was pretty long and there was only 1 guy cooking. They have all the snacks and drinks because it is a bodega. The Chop Cheese was YUM! Soft toasted bun, meat melts in your mouth, not salty and just like I remember when living in NY/CT. I'm excited to try the sandwiches like Philly sub. They do sell Jamaican patties but we're out when I went. You can make your sandwich anyway you like! Meaning if you want your meat in that Jamaican patty you can! If you want your Philly sub in a Doritos bag, you can! Just like they do in NY!

    While driving through the area I stopped in here for lunch. I came here after reading many…read morepositive reviews and then checking out their menu and I knew they were a fun and interesting place for lunch. I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different. There were only two people waiting for food when we arrived, and after ordering, we waited over an hour without receiving our food. We finally had to inquire about our order, and a few minutes later it was ready. Sadly, the food wasn't nearly as good as it was during our last visit. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, we all ended up eating about half of our meals and tossing the rest. It's disappointing because we had such a great experience here just a few months ago. Based on today's experience, we would not recommend this place. Hopefully this was just an off day, but unfortunately, it was not the experience we had hoped for.

    It has been nearly three weeks; I can stop thinking about No Frill Bar and Grill…read more I'm a military spouse, so I know my time in Hampton Roads is coming to an end soon. I visited a Hampton Roads Restaurant group on FB and asked if someone was visiting from out of town: What is your go-to place to take them? Out of 90+ comments, No Frill Bar and Grill was mentioned the most - six times! So when I finally had a day off and some other business to tend to in Norfolk, it was the perfect excuse to finally try them. No Frill Bar and Grill has been open for nearly 30 years by Jerry Meltsner. Jerry's nephew Jon Kliner helps co-own and manage operations. It originally opened on Tidewater Drive, but the space didn't allow for much growth - 10 years later, he moved to a location off Colley Avenue and Spotswood Avenue. Growth continued, moving from counter service to table service. The second location, at 1620 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, opened in 2005. The restaurant's longevity stems from quality, consistency, price, service, and staff who genuinely care about the business and serving the community. I asked the server for her opinion on two options - Salmon, Shrimp and grits won. The dish was incredible: lightly blackened salmon, for once blackened food that doesn't just taste like salt. I don't dine with the swine, so I asked for no andouille sausage. The sautéed shrimp, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and spinach simmered in Norfolk Canyon ale sauce over cheesy grits and Boursin lavash cracker. The cheesy grits were smooth, and the Boursin lavash cracker was a nice touch. The Boursin added extra creaminess to the meal. The cracker wasn't really a cracker - more like little toasted bread. After this first meal, I know two things for sure: 1. I definitely understand why it is such a local favorite, and 2. I will be back.

I ordered the meatball grinder with provolone, and it might be the best grinder I've had since moving to Virginia--hands down. The bread was absolutely top tier--toasted perfectly with the ideal mix of crunch and softness. The meatballs were flavorful, the provolone was melted just right, and everything held together beautifully. The only note I'd give is the sauce--it was a little heavy for my taste.
