I CANNOT believe the service at the Greenbrier location is getting so terrible. This is what happens when you become greedy and decide that service comes second. I stopped in and noticed it was a slow period with at least 10 employees standing around. I stood at the counter for at least 5 MIN waiting until someone decided who would take my order. After my order was placed, another employee asked for my name for my ticket. After my sandwich came out, it sat on the counter with 2 people walking by looking at it and moving on. One of which decided to go in the corner and FACETIME! Then someone came over and saw I was waiting and decided to help. I've always loved TASTE...anytime my family comes from out of town, they have to come to your location. PLEASE take note in the quality of staff you hire because it's hurting your Greenbrier location. read more

This is place is like the Anthropologie of food. I think I just made many females out there swoon. There is so much to look at. OMG want it all. A purse? A grab and go? Wine? GELATO! Plus fresh veggies and affordable prices. Swoon. Grabbed a salad, bottle of wine ($11) to split out of real glasses and some gelato. Love that they recycle and the outdoor patio. Panera- like experience with some more icing and sparkles. Downside closes at seven during the week and 5pm on weekends. Thanks for letting us hang out on the patio until 7:30pm. read more

Just a warning to anyone that try's to eat here for lunch, make sure you call in your order ahead of time even if you're going to dine in. The lunch rush at this place is crazy and it only seems to stop after 1:30 if that. After they expanded I think it helped settle some of the congestion they had since the line would literally be out the door to the parking lot. This place is pretty great and the food is wonderful. There menu has a great variety when it comes to sandwiches, salads, and wraps. I usually get the Northender as a wrap. I've also had a few of their salads which are great also. One of our clients loves this place so we always go pick up lunch for them whenever their in town. My coworker and I also love to order our food out. It's convenient that there is a separate register just to pick up to go orders. It helps us avoid the crazy line that forms. Their desserts are really good too. The snicker doodle and chocolate chip are among the favorites in our office. The variety in chips are pretty interesting too granted I don't get them often but everyone else seems to be quite fond of them. They also sell various cheese spreads, wine, and gelato. The place is pretty much full of interesting things to eat. If you're in the area for a good eat this is a great place to stop by. read more

My favorite sandwich place in all of Chesapeake. The Northender is a must try and all of the soups, especially the lobster bisque and Brunswick stew, are amazing! Love the country market feel of the place. Always super friendly and ready and eager to help. read more

Went for gelato and the taste was excellent. However, the service was poor. We bought 3 large containers of different gelato and had to ask for them to be labeled. They were not labeled for us but instead a sharpie was provided for us to write it ourselves. Then when we checked out, we had to ask for a bag. Instead of our items being placed in the bag, the bag was placed on the counter for us to put our items in ourselves. This is piss poor service that should be improved upon. read more

Okay, as stated, the sandwich I had was delectable, excellent in every way, however, I too ventured over to the retail space just to check it. Wow, felt these eyes on me like I wanted to 'steal' something. Needless to say I am a black male, but hey, I am an old man and I can afford anything they sale and more... come on, please give us a break. read more

Love this place! Such a nice change from all the chain restaurants in the area.

My husband and I really like the sandwiches here. They are always very tasty and everything always taste fresh. They get pretty busy around lunch time so I would recommend calling in your order. read more

I usually go for lunch every once a week. However I feel like they're falling off. I get a wrap and it has avocados in it, but the avocados would be OLD. If I'm paying 8-9$ for a wrap, I expect it to be fresh. read more

Great variety and lots of delicious options. They have the most AMAZING iced tea that is phenomenal. Its like a vacation for your mouth. They have some fun and trendy treats to take out for entertaining when you don't quite feel like doing the work yourself. Great selection of local items too. read more

Love the food! Amazing, and friendly staff...the only thing is the prices...far too pricey..the Peter pick is the way to go off you're ordering from there read more

Gourmet sandwiches and other yummy products like craft beers, seafood, pasta salads, gelato, rubs and sauces. Friendly service. Clean open dining layout inside and an outdoor seating area. read more

what a great sandwich place with daily Peter's Pick specials for $8.99 that includes a sandwich, small chips, and a regular drink. They have a variety of artisan meats, cheeses, breads. They also have a little side market section with a variety of yummy take home stuff, beverages, etc...Taste is a European vibe delicatessen. They have beer & wine. They also use antibiotic free chicken, no nitrates or artificial growth promoters in their meats. All of their items also do not contain MSGs and other nasty chemicals. They have plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options as well. Great place, always fresh! I totally recommend checking them out. Plus, they are always accommodating when I take my impatient kids there. So, that's an unexpected nicety. The restaurant is always clean and usually busy but they do offer delivery, call ahead, & take out for added convenience. I really cannot say enough great things about Taste. read more

The menu is overwhelming but you can't go wrong! Everything is great including the grab and go items (succotash was perfect!) excellent cheerful service, giant cookies to share! read more

Food is always good but don't try to go at lunch. The line is out the door! Order ahead.

Awesome place. I love the idea of a deli and a store taken upscale. The fresh ingredients are to die for and all the healthy options anyone would want. This was right next to our hotel so we stopped before we got on the road. The cookie I got from here made me want to drive all the way back down here. The mozzarella was super fresh and so was the bread I loved everything about this place. read more

Overpriced and overrated. I live 50 steps away and I don't consider this place because the food is average (fresh, but nothing special) and a bit on the high end. Not a place I want to go for lunch, not even with money to spend. There are much better options nearby. read more

Hipster spot in Chesapeake. Super tasty sandwiches packed in fat and calories that are all so worth hundreds of hours at the gym for.

My husband and I enjoy ordering two items and splitting. Always good! Priced well given quality ingredients

Not sure what is going on with Taste, but for the cost the food is not what it used to be at all. The sandwiches are over priced, mine today was $11 and the 'full-size' sandwich was not even the size of my palm, add a lemonade and it was over $15. Absolutely not worth it anymore. Service was also lackluster. The staff could have cared less that a customer was in front of them and basically whipped the sandwich at me when it was ready. Might want to consider getting your existing stores right before adding anymore. Truly sad, it's close to my work and I used to enjoy other Taste locations. It is no longer worth the price and lack of customer service. read more

I used to go to Taste once or twice a week. The food is yummy and filling. However... 1) They have raised their prices when the food was already expensive to begin with. 2) there is not great consistency. One time my sandwich will be stuffed and its fresh. The next time its skimpy. I had to eventually start getting the sauce on the side because sometimes it would be dripping and then the next was almost dry. 3) They took out their Barbecue Chicken Salad which my co-worker got at least a couple times a month. Now we pick up for me and go somewhere else for her. read more

Food is great so far, gelato is tasty. Nice little selection of wine and special items. Pricier but worth it for fresh and local!! This place was tucked away too. read more

Taste is a great sandwich and salad place! I love the way the place is set up, you can order your food and then check out the fun little gifts and food they have in their store. It's always pretty good as well. This last time I went I got the lobster salad roll, I would recommend it. It had a good amount of lobster in it and it was only $12. The lunch crowd can get pretty hectic sometimes, so plan accordingly. read more

My boyfriend and I's favorite place to go get lunch. The staff is consistent, friendly and seems to genuinely enjoy their job even when they're slammed. They certainly aren't afraid to get someone who can help you if they can't answer your question either (ex: questions about wine/beer.) The food is great but the staff makes the whole experience even better. read more

It's ok. My mother and I decided to stop here and eat and I was pretty disappointed. Normally I like places that have simple food options but this place wasn't hitting on much. My mom liked her sandwich (Boardwalk) but I got chicken salad on a buttered croissant. I personally didn't think it was anything worth writing home about. read more

Really nice experience, first time from out of town and had our small 10 lb dog with us. Sat outside in a nice gated off area. Nice ppl, clean and fresh. read more

I have been going to Taste for over 15 years. I really love the quality of the food and they have a great selection. The Hilltop is one of my favorite sandwiches. I also love the Taste dressing that they use in the sandwiches and have purchased the bottle to use at home. They also offer a great variety of wines and snacks...perfect for entertaining guests. I recommend the pimento cheese spread, which is prepared fresh in house. I recently brought a problem to their attention and they quickly remedied the situation. Great customer service! read more

Great quality food, bright and open interior, and so many specialty food items that would make great gifts!

I love this place. Their house dressing is so good, I've bought it and served it on sandwiches at my own house and refused to tell anyone where it came from! The staff is "okay"... but what they lack..the food makes up for... Now, every sandwich I get is always perfect...but anytime I order a soup or get something refrigerated like a noodle salad... I'm disappointed...so, I've been sticking to the basics!! read more

Great quality fresh food a little on the pricey side but once you get your food it's worth the cost. Excellent (tastes like) homemade pecan bars for dessert and a great selection of gift ideas read more

Taste Unlimited is a little pricey, but the food has always been excellent. I haven't been to the Greenbrier location since they moved, but the staff will remember you by name if you are a regular. Service is always friendly and fast. read more

I had the Hilltop sandwich (turkey and provolone on French bread) paired with the red pepper and Gouda soup, which was an incredible mix. Definitely worth another visit! read more

Tried the hilltop sandwich. It was rather bland. Bread, turkey, cheese, and a dressing. I couldn't really taste the dressing. I'm thinking it was a type of mustard mix. Quality ingredients, but rather pricey for the amount of food you get. I would not eat here again. read more

Never disappointed with Taste! Try the Inlet sandwich. It's awesome and a delicious vegetarian option.

I am not sure if anyone has let you all know this, but the link to register the TASTE.BUD rewards card hasn't been working for days now. I have called every day to try and get in touch with someone, but no one answers the 800-339-8055 number. Your customers are being told to register their cards in order to get the rewards....but the link doesn't work. read more

Every time I find myself in the greater VA Beach area I make time to eat at Taste. Their sandwiches are delicious and I love that they have gluten free bread available. The gelato is also amazing. read more

Taste never disappoints. The sandwiches are always fresh and delicious. I obsessed with the Northender (Honey smoked turkey, hardwood smoked bacon, havarti, avocado, romaine, tomato, basil mayo)...AMAZING. I love to peruse the store and taste the sample spreads while deciding on what to order. Definitely my go to! read more

Delicious but kind of pricy . Still worth it wish there was one in Naples, Fl. Freind took us here on vacation and we went back twice. Loved sandwich and salads and cheese dip sampler read more

Just a winner. Everything fresh good well priced and clean. Great prices. A must try been there 3 times this week

It's a pretty good and "natural" type of place. It's a place to go if you want to eat clean and healthy and don't mind paying +$10 for a lunch. I usually go for the salads because they are a perfect size for the price. read more
