Updated Review: R.A.S is located inside of the handsome biscuit. There isn't really any seating inside so you have to order to go or sit down outside. The sandwich is just as the store name suggests basic, if you like a classic simple sandwich then this is your spot. I would have like to have seen a slightly higher quality meat for a sandwich shop. The meat on the sandwiches seems like regular prepackaged deli meat, given the price point there's nothing wrong with that. Most if not all of the sandwiches start at 8$ so everything is decently priced. If you want a sandwich but you don't want a jimmy John's or subway sub this is a nice alternative for a little midday lunch. Original Review: The yelp page says permanently closed however it is not, the sandwich just moved locations. It is now located inside of the handsome biscuit restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant. I have attempted to try it a few times however they're "closed" each time despite the neon open sign being lit. The business should clarify if they are only open until they sell out or they may need to adjust the hours of operation that they have posted across various platforms as it causes confusion. read more

Located inside of Handsome Biscuit, Regular Ass Sandwich offers fresh delicious deli faves with a spin. On this visit I had the Just Roast Beef Sando with the Basil Peso Aioli. The sandwich was delicious with an adequate amount of meat and fresh toppings. The aioli was chef's kiss. My only gripe is the lack of cheese selection. The service was fast and efficient. I'll definitely be back to try more sandos. Pro tip: They have limited hours. Ps. Sorry for the bitten sando pic. My definitely did not eat first! lol! read more

Didn't quite match the pictures but it was ok. Not my taste but hope with the best. Service was quick

I love the name "Regular Ass Sandwich" lol. I think they used to have their own building, but now they share with Handsome Biscuit. The staff were super nice and fast. We got the chicken salad sandwich and guess what, it was a regular ass sandwich. I'm a little picky with my chicken salad to be honest, but they had the perfect ratio. The potato salad was yummy as well, creamy! I would totally go here again! Especially when I'm craving a hearty sandwich that feels like home. We also got fruit roll ups on the side just to add to the 2000s feel. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it didn't wow me with flavor. It was good for sure, but nothing crazy. There is also no in person location so that makes me sad. Overall, thank you for the food! A good meal! read more

The owners of Handsome Biscuit and Toast set up an interesting yet simplistic concept with Regular Ass Sandwich; a specialization in "regular" sandwiches, sides, and drinks, with no frills or gimmicks. They're an online order only operation, and everything has a base price of $10. The food here is reminiscent of when your mom packed you that good good lunch for a school field trip (especially with available side choices like fruit roll-ups, oatmeal cream pies, and big league chew bubble gum). I personally ordered the "Regular Ass Club" and opted to add pimento cheese for a $1 extra. The sandwich was a nice size, came piled high with meat, and the pimento cheese set it off just right! *chefs kiss* Overall, I recommend putting in an order here if you're looking for a regular ass, yet delicious and nostalgic lunch. read more

"Yay! I'm a fan." If you want to be wowed, visit their sister restaurant Handsome Biscuit right across the street. The sandwiches you can get here are simple, regular ass sandwiches. Very "mom packed my lunch" vibes. Not something I'd suggest going out of the way for. Combinations start at $10 with a side and drink. You can make it at home, but if you're not at home and you just want a quick, simple sandwich for an affordable price- this is your spot! So I'm clearly not describing a five star sandwich. So why am I giving them five stars, because they aren't trying to be something they aren't. I respect that. They set the expectation in the name and across their website and social media. They don't call themselves a regular ass sandwich so you are set up for a mind blowing experience when you're shocked that it is a bomb ass sandwich. Nope- they know what they sell. They know sometimes that's all you need for a quick lunch. They know sometimes it's all you need for an easy/affordable catering order. I like knowing what to expect and they give me that so I've gotta give them 5 stars even though I'd rather just go to Handsome Biscuit across the street. read more

Regular Ass Sandwich is the latest venture from David Hausmann and John Porter, the creative duo who conceived the ever popular Handsome Biscuit and Toast. I am a fan of both. This one is located inside a former convenience store across the street from Handsome Biscuit in Park Place. When the store closed, its parking lot provided extra spaces for their customers. The owners took over the store as well and began to convert it into a commercial kitchen, serving as a base for prepping ingredients for their other restaurants. Their new sandwich shop actually opened in June, but it was not well known. I only found about it earlier this month. It existed as a sort of "phantom" restaurant for those in the know and who had their delivery apps. Their food was only available through third party delivery services. The name doesn't exactly excite me. Two definitions of "regular" I looked up were "average" and "ordinary." If I am going to order a sandwich from any type of eatery, I want one that goes above and beyond the average and the ordinary. Their concept was explained further by the ownership in a recent article from The Virginian-Pilot: "I don't think people are looking for anything intense. They're all a little nervous, looking for traditional things that bring them comfort." That doesn't fit me. I am always looking for bold and intense flavors that go beyond the traditional and expand my comfort zone. Another quote: "There's nothing to lie about: it's a regular ass sandwich, and the goal is to catch you on the day you forgot about lunch, and you don't want to risk eating anything bad." That doesn't fit me either. Lunch is my main meal of the day and one I never forget. I do not eat out with the sole intent to avoid "eating anything bad." I want something good. Inside ordering for pick-up is now available. With no dining area at this time, their ordering space is attractively decorated with what they describe as a "Rad" look and vibe. Colorful skateboards dangle from the ceiling as Rap tunes provide an upbeat mood. Service is friendly. You order at the counter from a touch screen by credit card only. You can customize your order with various add-ons with small up charges. I didn't see any jalapenos listed, which was a disappointment. Any sandwich plus a drink and a side is only $10 with no add-ons. You can actually order for less. For my first visit I ordered my sandwich with no drink, no side, and no add-ons for only $7.68. Their sides and drinks are listed on the menu of their web site. Their Trading Cards feature MTV Rap Artists. Each sandwich is served on Wheat Berry Bread. It is a cut above the Wonder Bread my mother used for the sandwiches she made me as a kid. Otherwise, I find it quite ordinary with an average taste and texture. During my customary three visits, I tried the following: JUST ROAST BEEF: Hormel Thinly Sliced Roast Beef, Shredded Iceberg Lettuce, Tomato, and Horsey (Horseradish) Sauce on the side. I ordered this one with no drink, sides, or add-ons. The flavors of this one fell flat for me. The slices of roast beef were stiff and chewy. The lettuce tasted dry and lifeless. The "horsey" sauce added a bit of zing, but not enough. Overall, I found this sandwich bland, ordinary, and uninspiring. My Rating: 3 Stars A SIMPLE PIMENTO & HAM SANDWICH: Hormel Pit Cooked Ham stacked high with Pimento Cheese. I ordered Tomato and Bacon as add-ons, as well as a Dr, Brown's Root Beer and an Oatmeal-Creme Pie for my drink and side. I had better luck with this one. The thickly layered pimento cheese provided a pleasantly tangy flavor that perked up the flavors of the ham and other ingredients nicely. It wasn't the best pimento and ham sandwich I've had, but it managed to deliver a decent taste. My Rating: 4 Stars. REGULAR ASS CLUB: Traditional Club Sandwich with Smoked Turkey, Hormel Pit Cooked Ham, Hardwood Smoked Bacon. Iceberg Lettuce, Tomato, and House Made Herb Mayo on the side. Ordered with a Dr. Brown's Root Beer and a bag of Kettle Chips. The flavors of this one fell totally flat for me and were very bland, killing my hopes of rallying my review to a higher rating. It didn't taste bad. It just didn't taste particularly good. My Rating: 3 Stars. If I could tweak their concept, I would upgrade the quality of their sandwiches to a cut above the "regular" and maybe change its name to "Kick Ass Sandwich." I would find that more enticing. There are a number of nearby restaurants in walking distance from this one, where their sandwiches give me a much better taste experience. I get the nostalgia they are trying to capture with their sandwiches, but not at the expense of quality. Let quality become job one. Their "regular" concept just doesn't work for me. We all have different tastes. If you are curious, give this place a try. You might like it better than I did. I plan to return in a few months in hopes I can post an updated review with a higher rating. read more

I was at work, starving and did not bring a lunch. It was also too windy and cold to want to drive anywhere! This place popped up with a delivery option right underneath it! I'm a regular ass person with a regular ass pallet. I like very simple things because I can be very picky. I got the regular ass club with a Dr. Browns and chips. The chips are the kettle cooked which are the best. Not sure who Dr. Brown is but that black cherry soda was very good. And the sand which was HUGE! So much meat! Highly recommend! Food got to me fast and packaged great! Also I had every piece of my order! Also props to the grub hub person who delivered it, made this place even better to me. read more

Regular Ass Sandwich - Turkey club - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

It is what it is -- delicious sandwiches you could make at home. We get turkey clubs. But if you don't have the ingredients , here's an easy answer with fair prices. Love the brown paper sacks the lunch comes in. Pickup or delivery. read more

The title certainly says it all. There's almost no service and it really is just a sandwich. That doesn't make it a bad thing, it's a functioning model. If you need a bite to eat fast it's a fine choice just keep the expectations congruent with the name. read more

Regular Ass Sandwich - Pimento Ham - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Tried the chicken salad and the pimento ham sandwiches. Neither were bad, I mean, they were exactly as you'd expect them to be if you made them yourself. If you like it, you like it, and that's it. But that's the issue... $10 for a sandwich that's 2 ingredients on the world's okayest bread. It would take me the same amount of time to get to the grocery store and back, and make the same-tasting sandwich for myself. And all of the ingredients would cost the same amount to make about 10 sandwiches. The only appeal I could see for this place is if you were on your way to work/school, forgot to make yourself a lunch, and this place was on the way. The only problem: they don't even open until 10am. Did I like the sandwiches? Sure, they weren't bad. Did they blow me away? Not a chance. Would I eat there again? Absolutely not. They completely live up to their name in being "regular", but the price certainly does not reflect the level of quality. I tried it once to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just cannot imagine myself ever being interested again in paying that much for a sandwich that a person with zero culinary ability can put together in 5 minutes. And since there's no dining-in, I just ended up eating the sandwich at home as if I had made it myself anyway. Again, not a bad sandwich by taste standards. Just very regular, and completely not worth it. read more

The name drew me in. Got the turkey, no cheese sandwich, which was piled high and wrapped in classic checkered paper with an envelope tuck. A regular ass , but generous sandwich! The only disappointment was the quality of the turkey which appeared to be in the category of Jennie-O compressed turkey vs actual turkey breast. Maybe with this current govnt's inflation agenda, they have been forced to cut corners to stay afloat. Still a fresh sandwich and a great concept. read more

A regular ass sandwich with the audacity to only have wheat bread. We walked in and proceeded to not have a word spoken to us and be stared at. They should change their name to I could've made that shit at home. read more

Like a mom-made sandwich but fatter than anything I took to school as a kid--their sandwiches are classic and simple and beyond satisfying, piled high with the goods. There are very few menu options, which makes it easy to decide what you're in the mood for instead of staring at the menu blankly for what seems like hours. And even then, the sandwiches are relatively customizable (can add tomato, customize meat, etc) and come with some kind of AMAZING spread on the side for which recipe I would trade my right arm. Love that they don't try and pose as something they're not--no need to try and sell their clientele on gourmet sandwiches and sides. It is what it is, and its good. read more
