What a surprise!…read more We had a quick bite here before going to the Chartway Arena for a show and my husband wanted something for lunch. It was packed, probably with people doing what we were doing, but there were several seats at the bar so we snagged three and were greeted pretty quickly by a very friendly waitress. She made recommendations at my husband's request and suggested the special which was two hotdogs with topping of your choice, half order of fries or tots and a drink. He went with that and we ordered a single cheeseburger for our toddler. Food was out quickly - probably less than 10 minutes and the burgers and fries were piping hot and very good. My husband was pleased. Their menu is much larger than I expected with tons of burgers, sandwiches, some salads and other things. Our waitress and a few others checked on us while we ate to ensure we didn't need anything. Very good service. I think we will definitely come back.

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.

Another piece of Norfolks history is set to close at the end of October. Lew's Hot Dogs has been…read morearound as long as I can remember and its closing makes me feel like I'm losing an old Friend. On the way home from the Yelp Event at O's Donuts, I remembered Lew's was closing this weekend. Luckily Lew's was right on our way home so we decided to stop and get orders to go. We walked in to a packed house and lots of others placing orders to go. Cash only signs were posted in several places so I was prepared when it was my turn to order and pay. Everyone was friendly and greeted each other and engaged in conversation. I felt like I had stepped back in time to a kinder, gentler place. I'm very sad that we are losing another piece of Norfolk history. The hotdogs were just as good as I remembered, as well as their French fries. One thing that caught my attention as we waited was the stools at the counter. This old Norfolk girl immediately said to my Friend, "these aren't stools, they are chairs with backs on them just like the lunch counters in Peoples Drug Store and Woolworth's when I was a kid." Loved this little walk down memory lane today. Happy retirement Lew, You will be missed.

Please take me back to Chicago with that delicious Chicago Dog they have…read more So this "Mom and Pops' joint is everything of the word. 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.

We tried one of their famous all-beef hot dog with chili and onions, and a NY beef hot sausage, 'all the way', with chili, mustard, and onions. I really liked the all-beef, as the NY sausage was a bit too spicy for me; the hubs preferred the latter! The chili was tasty, and it was the perfect blend of spices; the hot dog and the sausage had a nice snap to them. Get a combo, as it comes with a side of fries or tots and a drink; I recommend in getting the tater tots, as they were super crispy and this place makes it very well! YUM! Currently, they're carry-out only, so you can call ahead or order in-person; some items may take about 25-30 minutes to prepare, as this is a BUSY place, especially during the lunch rush! The staff here are super friendly and welcoming; definitely will try to always stop by this place when I'm in the area! +tasty hot dogs! +great tater tots! +friendly staff! +parking in the strip plaza lot

There is limited, free parking spots in their lot, which they also share with another restaurant, so be mindful of that. Not sure how street parking is like; it is on a busy street. I arrived before a rush of people, which was around 2:30 pm on a weekday. The inside is a little unassuming but has character and charm. I enjoyed seeing the dog theme decor on the walls. The man working there was welcoming and very friendly! Service was wonderful. There are plenty of hot dogs to choose from, and there are plenty of options for hot and cold toppings. Went with the pittie dogs, fries, and chocolate cheesecake brownie. A good, simple hot dog! Fries were crispy and warm. Brownie was pretty good and sweet. I look forward to trying the other items on the menu like the bratwurst. Another cool thing I noticed is for their rewards system instead of it saying points on the receipt, it says "spots"! How creative and fun is that! I love how they kept the dog theme even for things people often overlook. Definitely a fun, little spot for affordable hot dogs! Try it out for yourselves!
