On the way home from Norfolk today, driving along the Princess Anne Road route, my vehicle made a…read morequick U Turn when we remembered that Lew's Hot Dogs was closing permanently on October 31st. It's one of the few old school Hot Dog Shops that still feature the iconic Norfolk Dog. The spot closes at 3pm each day. There was plenty of time to stop. The location is on Azalea Garden Road about 2 blocks north of Princess Anne Road. Don't expect a picturesque spot. This building is located in the midst of warehouses, car repair shops & such. Lew's was obviously packed with people wanting those few last days of the wonderful Norfolk Dogs. Parking was around the front & side of the shop & on the street. Even the "no parking" area was filled. We stepped directly into an earlier time. And I loved it. Seating was mainly around the counter. I would have loved to have eaten there. But we had just had donuts in Ghent. So we ordered at the cramped takeout counter, The cook, who I suspect was the owner's wife, cooked on a small grill near the front window. A young man took the orders, writing each takeout order on a paper bag for the cook. The proprietor busily did everything. He was personable & funny. He had his rules, just like his long gone competitors, We sat at the counter and talked to a customer who had driven down from Arlington. He obviously knew the place well as the owner bantered with him. When our order was ready we left, a little sad that we couldn't stay and eat. It had been so much fun. The Norfolk Dogs were wonderful. They're snap dogs, customarily served only with mustard, chili & onions. Lew's did allow other condiments added, even serving French fries. You could get thrown out of some of his former competitors for asking for catsup or potato chips. There must be a return before they close. I want to sit and eat at the counter. I want to come out with that familiar smell of onions in my hair. By the way, they're still open to selling the shop. It comes with the secret recipe for their chili sauce. Norfolk Dog lovers need this eatery to remain open. Don't let them be lost to time.

Locally and Black-owned in Norfolk, this lunch counter style gem is nothing short of classics you don't see that much anymore. So, on arrival, you can have a seat, and a hostess or cashier will come out and take your order. The chef will take your order if you sit at the lunch counter. Either way, your food will be cooked to order right when you order so that it will be fresh! The main star, hotdogs, is on the menu, but you can also get burgers. Crinkle fries come with the meal or chips. Now, these hotdogs come in all ways, so review the menu carefully of the options. The ingredients are made fresh all day to ensure you get your food that way. Did I mention they serve breakfast? Yes, they have a breakfast menu as well. Seating at the counter is a treat because there is TV to watch, and you can see the Chef prepare your food. The price is excellent, too; two hotdogs, fires, and a drink were about twelve dollars. This place is GREAT for lunch and breakfast; I will be back. Happy Yelping.

I'm definitely impressed with the hotdogs at this place. I didn't like that the chili was cold, but…read morethe hotdog is really warm, so that made up for it. Been in search of a good hotdog location, and being at this place has several different locations, this one particularly was good. The gentleman that took our order was pretty knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us make some decisions. I love that the hotdogs were well done and a little crispy, that's just how I like it. We also got fried pickles delicious. The atmosphere was like an older type of vibe, it was a little hot, but we were okay under the fan. You can definitely tell that there are a lot of regulars that come through here. The bathrooms are clean, and the food came out in a pretty good timely manner. Check out one of their locations and see how you like it!!

What a cute little hot dog shop!!! I'm wondering why (aside from the fact that I haven't, until…read morerecently, been eating meat) I don't stop here more often... It's a small shop, at best, with maybe three or four tables and a few seats at the grill. Today it's half full, so I slid right into a stool in front of the grill. And since I'm such a fan a sauerkraut, I ordered the Suicide Dog with sauerkraut. This!!! Is definitely NOT a good spot for a date, not even a blind one where you don't want to be on the date but you have to. The hot dog I got was oozing with messy, delicious goodness!!! Omg I'm pretty sure I'm wearing cheese on my nose. No matter, at less than $4 a hot dog, it was worth it!!!

So-so. At $17+ for two dogs and drink it's a little disappointing…read more Service ok. Young man showed his lack of experience but was trying his best. Dogs are steamed? and held in water. Normally always better if grilled. Buns are split top type steamed. Dogs are good size but with steamed buns and water for the dog makes for a soggy bun, Not for me. Also buns are larger than normal split top type. Making bun to dog ratio way too much bread. Tried dog with mustard onion and chili, And dog with mustard and sauerkraut. Chili and kraut low on favor. Hotdogs ok but a natural casing are always the best. (I still miss the hormel tough skins.) Plenty of other choices for toppings. Toppings seemed to be chopped too fine. Coarser toppings add texture and favor. With tweaks here and there it could be much better. Might try again in future. There a Al's about two blocks away. There are several other dogs places closer to home that are better and cheaper. The best places are serving the Norfolk dogs. Place inside was new and clean. Weak three. Better options at lower prices.

I had an opportunity to order from the Hangry's food truck at a recent LARP event in Wakefield VA…read more First, a disclosure: I'm a native Philadelphian. Every time I see a "Philly Cheese Steak" menu item, I understand what u will get is not the cheesesteak I grew up on. That's okay. I'm not a die hard purist. I generally, however, don't order one. Hangry's, though, they had a Mexican Cheese Steak. That was .. interesting. I ordered one. Gentle reader, it was a really good steak sandwich. Great blend of flavors, cheese was creamy and yum. Truck staff were awesome, friendly and fun to talk with. They had quite a task feeding several hundred hungry warriors, mages, alchemists, bards and rogues. My only suggestion for improvement is one I make often with newcomers to the glory of the cheesesteak: you need a roll with good structure that absorbs the ingredients without falling apart. One with a serious crust and soft interior. Amorosos. Paganos. That kind. I would definitely order from their food truck again and I'd visit their restaurant next time I'm in the area.

We've been here a couple of times, ordering new items, and loving everything. Things we would order again: spicy bloody mary, lemon ricotta pancake, chilaquiles, grilled chicken ciabatta. The owner is passionate and creates almost everything from scratch. They are mostly Mexican style dishes but add flares of different cultures in their weekly specials. Small restaurant but makes for an intimate feel. They are usually busy but we've always been able to get seat.

I've never heard of them before, but shrimp po'boys are one of my weakness. When I got there, there wasn't any line probably because it was 30 minutes before they close. Their menu is simple and the meals are quite affordable compared to the other food trucks that serve po'boys. Of course, I ordered the shrimp po'boy with extra sauce on the side. The fries is already included on the meal so that was a plus. I waited for about 5 minutes as they cook my food. It was kind of awkward though standing next to the truck because the staff closed their window. I had some questions regarding the meal, but I had to wait until she opened the window again. As for the food, I was surprised to see that they use some kind of sour dough bread or french bread (sorry I do not know the difference). Usually whenever I order po'boys there, it is served in a hotdog buns. Therefore I really liked that it is served with a different kind of bread other than hotdog bun. The po'boy has a very good amount of huge shrimps. There's nothing special about their fries though. Overall, if they are in the area and I am having po'boy cravings, I will definitely be back.
