    Honey sauce packet

    I picked up dinner tonight, Friday April 19, 2024, and was a bit surprised. I placed my order on the phone with the Tidewater Drive location. First, the chicken was good. The sides, cole slaw and potato salad, were good but small. The price was very high. Now the items that really disappointed me; the honey "sauce". The ingredients listed high fructose corn syrup first. It also listed other corn syrup, sugar, honey and natural flavor. That is ridiculous!

    Soo you know I love fried chicken wings! Like honestly who doesn't? My issue with pillars today Is that they gave me two of their driest wings- now what I order was a 5 wing dinner! It's suppose to come with 5 wings 2 sides and 2puffs! I got what ordered but I ooeb the box and things wings we're so small! I paid 10$ for this! Now I didn't let the food go to waste for 2 reasons. 1st reason. I'm fat! 2nd reason- this bird gave his life so that I might life thru it's nourishment! Lmbo lmbo Seriously I was disappointed with my food - the sides were tho !

    Not impressed at all. This is one of the newer franchise Pollard's. It's located in a building that used to be a bank in the Woods Corner Shopping Center on the Centerville Turnpike. Next door is a Sonic. The newly renovated building has been completely redone inside with a vary large dinning room that can seat a group of just about any size. There is also a banquet room just after the main dining room on the right. The food was excellent. I had a 4 piece chicken tender dinner with fries and a regular sized drink. Ran just over $9.00. What killed this visit for me was the experience. It stunk. Plain and simple. They got my order wrong. I ordered dine and and received my food in a carry out box. There was no sense of urgency and everyone just seemed to be meandering around back behind the counter and in the kitchen. Adults and teens alike just hanging out. The leadership definitely needs to be looked at here if they intend to have repeat customers.

    Alleluia...alleluia...praising fried chicken. Can't even think right now because I am in a food coma. My tummy is full and my heart is satisfied. Whoaa, I am for sure going to spend more time at the gym to burn some calories...lol^_* Seriously, I must agree that Pollard is the best fried chicken in Hampton roads. The chicken itself is cooked to perfection - golden and brown. The meat is tender and juicy, just addictive and insanely delicious. With my lunch combo, I ordered the hush puppies and sweet potato on the side. The hush puppies is greatly portioned and probably one of the best I ever tasted. It was crispy on the outside and soft inside. while the sweet potato is seasoned well with sugar and cinnamon. Overall, thought it was wonderful place. My only criticism is the distinct smell of fried is quite alarming. It can be forgiven once you try the FRIED CHICKEN. Apart from that, I am well satisfied. If my tummy needed a greasy and unhealthy fried chicken this is definitely the place to be. Hang on, is there such a thing as healthy fried chicken?

    It's fried chicken, nothing special. Grease, grease and more grease, but that's what you were looking for if you stopped into Pollard's.

    If you're ordering anything other than chicken or bbq do not eat here. Everything is gross & frozen.

    As the bride and groom, we wanted to create a truly unforgettable environment for our big day as…read morewe've been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented catering team, East Beach Catering, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from the East Beach Catering, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding palette without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the quality of food and service provided by the East Beach Catering team! It's 52 days later and our guests haven't stopped raving about the delicious food they received! Chelsea and her team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the East Beach Catering team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They even went above and beyond to assist us in providing a full alcohol shopping list (even when we chose not to use their bar services to save money). They were also true champions to set up (and move from one location to another in between events) many different catering options throughout an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! During our tasting, the East Beach Catering team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) during the tasting and were more concerned with making everything 100% perfect for our big day. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute "must haves" and even suggested some things we hadn't thought of. They took great caution to note allergies and food preferences for guests and even ran some of our favorite cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to us while we were in a separate location working on getting additional bride and groom portraits. Working with Chelsea and her team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding catering! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary tasty wedding sweets! - The Canavoses

I started communicating with Cathy (the kindhearted and fearless leader of the entire operation) via phone calls and e-mails and felt that we would be a great fit together. My husband is in the military and we tried to work out a taste test session that could include him, but it just wasn't going to happen. She was so understanding that he couldn't be there and was fine with me bringing my friend in his place! The tasting really sealed the deal and made me even more excited for the big day than I already was! The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful (which was very important to me), and the customer service was top tier! It was an all-around fabulous experience leading up to the big day. On our wedding day we were so thrilled to see it all come together and it exceeded our expectations in every way! We are about a month into our marriage and we still have guests contacting us telling us how delicious the food was...the appetizers during the cocktail hour were a HUGE HIT!! My husband got to try everything for the first time just as the guests did and he was extremely satisfied and is still talking about how tasty and perfect everything was! We highly recommend East Beach for any event that you might have! Delicious and gorgeous food, the perfect bar set up (very important to us!), and an extremely patient and hardworking staff...what more could one ask for?! Thank you so much to Cathy and the entire East Beach Catering team!!

    Potential customers beware!! Norfolk Catering Company was an incredibly disappointing experience…read moreand I will NEVER use them again for catering! VASTLY OVERPRICED, 28 minutes LATE for a luncheon delivery for health care workers that get 20-30 mins for their luncheon. I conducted a 42 person lunch for Radiology week (November 7th) and opted to order directly from the caterer to save him costs associated with the fees charged by EZ Caterer. My usual process is to go through EZ caterer to ensure responsiveness and accuracy. Big mistake that I trusted the owner Theodore Papafil to be on time, even though he had plenty of notice for the big order, to send appropriate quantities of food. I should have taken a picture of the pans of food I received for a whooping $777.04!! We barely had enough food and this is exactly what we received on the "BBQ buffet". 1 pan of coleslaw, 1 pan of buns, 1 pan of bbq pork and one pan of baked beans. NO cookies, NO choices of bbq sauce- only packets of hot sauce like you see in Chinese restaurants. I requested and paid for two vegetarian meals and one vegan meal and he sent three grape leaves and a SMALL (think something you would hold a squirt of ketchup in at Mcdonalds) cup of veggie beans. Hardly enough to count as lunch for someone. Did I mention the outrageous price tag of $777.04!!! I got completed hoodwinked by this caterer! He should be so embarrassed to have that represent his brand!! Charging $12.95 per person for ONE sandwich with coleslaw and beans is truly a ripoff!! My drinks consisted of 2 jugs lemonade, 2 jugs of tea and a dirty, labels torn off case of water!! What an absolute joke!! I just looked at my receipt!!! $84 for the dirty labeled case of water that may have cost him $8-$10 tops thievery!

The food was excellent--fresh, well-seasoned, and served in generous portions. Everything tasted like it was prepared with care. Even the restroom was clean and fully stocked, which always says a lot about a place. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be back again.

Staff were accommodating and friendly. The restaurant has a nice ambiance fit for an enjoyable fun night of drinks and food. To drink, I tried their $5 Cranberry Crush (7/10) it was refreshing and slushy, but not strong at all really just a slushy juice and the Georgia Peach (10/10) loved the flavor and was a decently strong drink. To eat, we started with the Pork Rinds appetizer (10/10) they were definitely fresh and flavorful; I loved the sauce that came with them. I also ordered the Catfish basket (5/10) I was excited when this came to the table because it looked as though it would taste good and was a great portion size; however, it didn't meet my expectations at all. There was no flavor to the fish or batter and the Mac and cheese was very much the same way, bland. Though I am giving a lower rating, I would come back for drinks and to possibly try a different food. Feel like I must've ordered the wrong thing or the cook was having a bad night? I have no clue, but I'm open to returning in the future. My overall rate of experience : 6/10
