This place is so cute! I've been wanting to try this place but I've had to find a great moment for when they're open with their hours that work with my schedule and I'm glad I found a moment. The business is laid out very clearly. It is the owner working. She's doing all of the work so there isn't anyone to greet you out front but as a small business that is apart of the charm. The answers to your question are somewhere written down in the store. This is a very easy morning type deal. Patience and appreciation is needed when you go in. Take the time to take it in. It's decorated beautifully. She has her regulars that you can tell care about the business. It's a real community affair. This is true gourmet subs. Very delicious. read more

Edited my review after one too many sad Saturdays without a Siren Sub. To be clear, the sandwich is a 5! The ability to actually get a sandwich is a 0. My spouse and I love this sandwich shop. Unfortunately, that love often leads to disappointment. Their hours (11-2, Tuesday-Friday) make it nearly impossible for us to go. Too many Saturdays have come and gone where we've craved a Siren Sub, only to remember they're closed--and we're SOL. read more

Making another review for this place because I think it's noteworthy that this place is a one-woman show! I didn't realize this the first time I went. The hours definitely make sense now. The sandwich I got was so delicious the last time, that I got it again. Maybe next time I'll try a new sandwich but so far I can't get my mind off the melts. It was busy this time I went, but the place has plenty of seating so you can chill as you wait for your sandwich! I enjoyed a nice iced tea while I was taking the place in! Definitely recommend making a stop here for lunch! read more

You walk into an empty shop to find no one around, a simple sign says order at kiosk. You decide to place your order and with zero contact from anyone it asks you to tip them. With an $18 price tag for one sandwich and no customer service or workers present in the front of the shop. Why even ask for a tip? You wait patiently for your sandwich, still no workers to be found. Waiting patiently hoping you didn't just charge yourself nearly $20 for nothing. A sign on the wall says order"locals only" making you feel uncomfortably unwelcome as you're not from here and just visiting for work. You get a text stating your sub is ready and it's only 8" long, not even a full footlong for $18 price. It's hot and smells delicious. You get into your car because you got it to go as you have to get back to work. It smells amazing and you're starving so you eat half the sandwich. The flavor is good but parts of the sub are cold taking away from full enjoyment of a toasty hot sub. They use fresh mozzarella so you're wondering if that is what contributes to the price. Overall the sub was phenomenal, but the price is very high for a shop without any front of house workers. I'd say if you want an expensive but great sub with no contact with any other humans it's perfect. I'd prefer a bit more interaction from employees and a lower price. read more

Sirens Subs - The Amore Zach's Way - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I think the reimagining of the Virginia Cheese Shop to Siren Subs is a success! I was so excited to see the sandwich shop open in West Freemason and couldn't wait to try their sandwiches. As you walk in, the mermaid branding welcomes folks to a new but familiar space. The menu is varied and seems to have something for everyone: more traditional subs, fancier sub sandwiches or focaccia sandwiches, grilled cheeses, sub bowls, vegetarian options, and tons of add-ons. We ordered and received our sandwiches pretty quickly! We tried two of their subs, the Sandbar and the Amore (Zack's way!). Both were on tasty bread, were well constructed and deli-wrapped, and all the meats, cheeses, and veggies were fresh and delicious. The subs were super balanced as well, and it didn't feel like any one item in the sandwich took over. They were super solid subs. I can't wait to come back throughout the summer and work through the menu! I'll always welcome another stellar sandwich shop to the neighborhood, and Siren Subs is no exception! read more

Sirens Subs - Menu- Siren Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Think of your favorite sub place in the area. Jimmy johns? Subway? Firehouse? Jersey mikes? And allow siren subs to challenge everything you thought was good about them! I really do wish the Yelp for Siren's Subs was set up on opening day because the amount of excitement I felt after tasting the Italian sub! I wanted everyone to know! It was SO juicy, garlicky, twangy on top of a delicious bread that I cant confirm is made in-house but trust me the bread is a treat on its own. Make sure to get it Zack's way if you happen to try it - that add's a spicy pickle relish. The owner and crafter-of-subs you will see briefly when she brings you your food! This is a small, if you know you know type of sandwich shop perfect for locals or those looking for a new treat on their lunch break. Theres bar seating and a few tables inside and outside. read more

Sirens Subs - Restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Today I was out and about running errands, doing some shopping, and I figured I'd try another sandwich spot I had on my list. It wasn't too far, and parking was easy to get. It's in a lovely neighborhood, right near the docks, you can grab your sandwich, take a little stroll, and eat it while watching the water if you wanted. I had one more quick stop, so I just waited to eat it at home. I had gotten the Cypriot Halloumi with lemon whipped feta, roasted garlic aioli, and additional provolone. I also requested it be toasted. Now, am I sure I should've done that, no. It was messy because of the toasting. But, it was a really great sandwich besides that. It took a little under 10 minutes of waiting, and while it wasn't busy at first, more people started trickling in as it seemed about time for lunch. I loved how cute it is inside, and the convenience of the electronic ordering pad. I could customize as much as I wanted, see all the options I had, and not have to worry about being slow or picky. When you finally decide on what you want, they do give you warnings as to allergens and everything on the pad as well, which is very important in this day and age. Overall, a good spot, especially if you're on a date or want some peace for a little. I'll definitely have to come back and try some more of their menu! read more

Despite undergoing some renovations, place is well kept. You order at the kiosk when you walk in and everything is pretty straightforward. The worker who prepared my order was friendly when she came out to give me my food. Got the Amore (Zack's way). Phenomenal sandwich. I wish the roasted garlic aioli were a tad bit stronger, but otherwise no complaints. This paired well with the orange soda and to top it off, they offered a delicious chocolate chip coconut cookie that day. read more

The food itself is alright, I've gone twice and the subs are decent, but maybe a bit overpriced. There is no option to toast your sandwich on their iPad so both times I've gotten it cold, and theres no one who works upfront to tell any order modifications to. Their hours are absurd. Tuesday-Friday 11-2? Do you even want to be a business? It's so unfair to hog up such beautiful real estate that a real restaurant could use rather than this 12 hrs a week restaurant. Very cute decor though. read more

I've been living downtown the past few years and I used to come to this shop when it was the Virginia Cheese Shop. Ohh yay! The sandwiches haven't changed one bit. I love the rebranding name Sirens Subs. Anything mermaid I'm all for because Norfolk's mascot is obviously a mermaid. This cute little sandwich shop is a go to of mine because it's honestly the closest shop to my house. I'm thankful to have this shop in the area. If you know me then you know that I will try anything twice. I've only had great sandwiches here. The local sub names are a cool touch to the menu. My goal is to try as many sandwiches on the menu as I can. As of right now, my top two subs are the Norfolk Club without ham and the Lemon-Whipped Feta on rotation. I hope they bring back some grilled cheese seasonal sandwiches in the fall and near the holidays like they had at the Virginia Cheese Shop days. I really would go more often if they were open after my work hours. The service is fast with a simple order kiosk at the front for in dining and to go orders. A must go to on days off though or I would spend all my money here. The hours for Sirens Subs are Tuesday-Saturday 11am-3pm. Go check out these subs and show them some love by giving them a review. read more

Cool place, nice clean welcoming hoop atmosphere, it's kinda different as I walked in there was no one around, you order from a kiosk and they call out when ready. Had the Italian, very good. Only bummer is small sub was $15 but that's the price of supporting a local small biz these days I guess. read more

Sirens Subs - Italian sub, it is twice this size typical 8" . I ate half - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Is this actually a business, or the owner's odd idea of a hobby? I will say that the sandwiches are excellent and I've never had any concern about the quality of the food and it's a cool space. What I do have a problem with is the hours and service. They are only open 12 hours/week - Tuesday through Friday 11am to 2pm! Even with that limited schedule, it is not at all uncommon to go in well before closing time only to be told (and not always in a pleasant manner) that they're sold out. It is also not unusual to try to go in during their posted hours and find that the door is locked and they're not open at all. I have precious little time to spare during my workday and walking to get their delicious subs is a luxury. I won't waste my time anymore. read more

I'm so glad this place is finally open with the same owners from the cheese shop. The subs were served quickly, the service was friendly, and the interior is gorgeous. read more

The sandwich I ordered was excellent and I'd love to have it again, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. You have to order from a tablet and there's no opportunity to ask questions or make substitutions. As a person with food allergies, this is dangerous for me. The person who brings out the food tries really hard not to make eye contact with any customers and just plinks bags down on a shelf. They done even call out the names. You get a text that your food is ready and then it's up to you to search the shelves to find what's yours. I wouldn't mind this so much if it was an online order, but they don't allow that. Don't go there if you're in a hurry but if you've got time to kill and don't mind some aggravation, the food is very good. read more
