The sandwiches are very good, but don't give customers the very hard, crusty end of the bread that is way to hard to eat. Half of the sandwich was this hard end piece. This is not worth the expensive price for a sandwich. read more

Taste - The Boardwalk sandwich - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I really like this place, I have been here a couple to times and the other day had the chance to take my in-laws out for lunch. They all loved their sandwiches and were very impressed by all the different kinds of chips they have in the store. I had the corn and crab chowder soup. It was tasty, a little bit spicy and very hot! Their sandwiches are pretty big, if you are not very hungry, you can easily split it with someone else. I wish we can reserve tables, this restaurant is always busy, you order, get your food and try to find a table. Although they have a second floor, which helps a little bit. They also have gelato and a gift shop! They use natural ingredients and have tons of flavors! They have gift baskets that can be the perfect gift for anyone! read more

If you want to have the best sandwich in the 757 you go to one of many Taste locations. Taste has been a staple for folks here for many years, using fresh ingredients and beautiful pairing to create tastes that aren't found at your typical sandwich shop. The menu is very extensive and not limited to just sandwiches. Tastes prides on supporting local which has caused a butterfly effect for excellent offerings throughout Virginia. There isn't enough words to detail the endless possibilities you can get wrapped up on at Taste so drop by and give them a try! Pro tip: order a side of house dressing and try to find the Mama Zumas habanero chips for an awesome spicy kick! read more

Taste - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

While I don't frequent Taste as much as I used to (because let's face it, it's gotten pretty pricy), I try to go in when there's a good Peter's Pick on the menu, or I feel like splurging a little. Also, for a while after moving into this location, Taste was becoming really hit or miss with me. Lately, however, I've been excited to see them get back to good form! They seem to be getting their groove back. Fresher bread, and better fixin's between the slices. I have also been rather impressed with some of their chalkboard specials. it used to be the same old 2-3 Peter's Pick on rotation, but they've even been changing that up to. Not sure what's motivating the change in the right direction, but I hope they keep it up! read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. Ordering is easy too. Feels like a Whole Foods cafe. Very clean and welcoming when ya want to dine in read more

Tried the Virginian sandwich today and it was out of this world. Ordered online for takeout and it was ready on time. The service was excellent! Definitely going back! read more

I've been going to Taste for 40 years... the last few times have been incredibly disappointing. I just had the hilltop sandwich. The bread is sub-par ( not the first time) and the sandwich was completely thrown together. I couldn't taste anything but bread; not sure what happened to the turkey and cheese?! I really wish I had taken a picture. The decreased size of the sandwich and the lack of meat, I felt like I was at subway. Taste used to serve a VERY consistent sandwich. Not anymore. Very dissatisfied for the price. Not sure I'll be back since there are a million other options for a good, quick sandwich. read more

Yummy! The service is always good. The food is always yummy. It's consistently the same thing every time. No surprises. I wish they would bring back half orders because now I have to stop myself and save the rest for later. Really big portions. It's close to work and I always bring coworkers when they come to visit from other regions of VA. read more

Taste - Caesar salad with tomato added - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Taste is one of my go-to lunch places! Many times I have found myself craving one of their delicious sandwiches on their scrumptious homemade breads! Their Cobb salad is also a winner! I love that they have a little market that you can browse while waiting for your food! It's a great way to kill time, and it's also full of yummy snacks! read more

Fantastic shop. Expensive but worth the price. They have the best raw vegan cake. Yay!

It was my first time trying this place out, after a gym sesh. Post workout meal! Ordered the Northender, which consisted of smoked turkey, avocado, bacon, tomato, and basil mayo on French bread. It tasted really good, got the combo that also comes with a fountain drink and chips. They give you a buzzer when you order, and you don't pay til you get your food. Noticed they had gelato, but instead I got their Lemon bar. It was really good, you gotta try it! Gonna try their gelato next time I go there! They had seating inside and a little porch area outside to sit out on a lovely day. The place was really neat, they even had a table long enough for "The Last Supper" lol. Overall, their food was good and had ok service, but I'm gonna stop by again to try out their gelato! read more

Okay - totally funny going to this location. It is hidden from normal travelers. You are definitely looking for this location because it is not visible as you travel on the main roads around the shopping area. The regulars here are just as impressed with themselves as the regulars at the oceanfront. How dare that newbie darken our doorstep. Funny! They look as if you showed up to Ruth Cris in shortie shorts and flip flops. Taste is a private restaurant - Correct? The location is well organized and very clean. The outdoor seating is so cute. I will be back just to sit outside and enjoy my sandwich while I people watch. The parking here is 100 percent better than the other two locations. I pulled up to the front door and parked at 1 p.m. A first for me at Taste since 1985. I always come around lunch time no matter which location I visit. This place is for foodies. Freshness everywhere. Great tasting novelty foods that will amaze your taste buds. Love my Gluten free Tate's cookies in every flavor. Samples of lovely food greet you at the door. The sandwich of the day was the Northender with a side of shrimp salad coupled with a tasty bit of tea. Everything was amazing. The service was good. The cashier was so sweet and the cook has amazing attention to detail. Just the way I love my sandwiches made. No complaints from me on the service of the order taker and the cashier. Thanks! Now to address the issue of the lady looking at me looking at items on the shelves. Not sure where in my no room for a pocket shorts with credit card in hand that I was going to hide anything. I kept smiling at her and making loops around the shelves for a few minutes to see if she would get dizzy "watching" me. I commended her on her surveillance of me as I left. She gave that uncomfortable you noticed me watching you smile that made my day. I wanted to say - "Yes I see you walking two feet behind me in a circle. Ha ha! Now go take an aspirin for that dizzy spell." I have not experienced that treatment since Rices and Nachman's in the Mall (circa 1981). I will be back because all Taste stores serve amazing food and the portions always cover two meals. The prices are so low for such high quality food. All the sides are fresh and well prepared. You cannot go wrong. Always a winner. Yummy! I like the attitudes of the staff at the oceanfront much better. All customers in the other two locations are treated equally and the wine tastings at the oceanfront are a lot of fun. I will not give up on this location because it is 20 mins closer to my home. 'The watcher' just needs a reality check. There is no one type of customer that she needs to follow around. Provide great service to each customer and all will be fine. Taste is a location for foodie 'folks' of with many different physical characteristics. I will be back. Next time I will hug her for fun. Taste is my sandwich place no matter what decade she mentally resides in. Smiles! read more

Since I last worked out in the Greenbrier area 4 years ago Taste Unlimited has moved from their old space that was behind Cracker Barrel over into a new larger space in the Greenbrier Townplace shops. We walked in and the first thing you notice is that the new location is easily 3-4 times the size of the old one and contains a larger deli, dining area & store. It's actually a bit 'over the top'. I ordered a Northender and I believe my co-worker William ordered a Beach Club. We were given little flashing light disc's and told they would let us know when our sandwiches were ready. After a short wait the device went off and we grabbed our food. I have to say for the almost $10 I dropped for this artsy sandwich there wasn't much to it. My co-worker agreed. The meal was kinda flavorless actually... mundane to say the least. I finished my entree however my co-worker only ate about half of his and tossed the rest in the trash. We decided to grab some Gelato. Mine was a sorta peanut butter creme with chunks of chocolate in it while my co-worker went for plain chocolate. Again, off the mark, even more so than the tasteless sandwich. This Gelato, if you want to call it that, was like eating raw sugar. I can't put my finger on it but there was something not right about it. Neither of us finished our Gelato's. I was really disappointed with this visit. Something has happened, Taste Unlimited has changed. Their locations used to be cool little sandwich shops that was a bit over priced but always had great food with decent portions. Now the theme they seem to be going for is a upscale corporate hipster executive soccer mom kinda place with bags of designer cookies and coffees. It reminds me of that scene from the Steve Martin movie LA Story when they're all ordering coffee http://bit.ly/1mZ3Q4C. There's certainly plenty more bang for your buck around Greenbrier and for now I'll stick to downtown Norfolk for my Gelato. read more

I miss the charming little cafe it was, but a place has got to grow. This newer location is much better, if only for parking purposes. There's finally lots of it. The store is bigger, but they crammed more stuff inside. They sell a lot of randomness. Not just food. You can buy a patterned tote, some notebooks, a shirt, old-school candy, and a stuffed animal. Just weird. It's like some sorta novelty store on the sly. I always call in my order as soon as they open. I can't be a part of their lunch rush. It's like none other. My order varies from the Lynnhaven to a PB&J on a croissant. Depending on my mood. They excel at both. However I don't care for the salads. While they're very large, they don't offer a salad dressing that complements any of them. The Buttermilk Boursin is almost acceptable. But I think they need to go back to the drawing board with the "housemade" dressings. Their housemade pimento cheese is EVERYTHING. Which is mostly why the Lynnhaven is my favorite sandwich. There's something about the chicken, as well. It's so full of pure flavor. It's hard to explain. Something to try, though. You will NOT get a sandwich like this at any other sandwich shop. read more

Unfortunately at this restaurant I think the tastes are truly LIMITED. The service was extremely bad and I received several unwelcome tomatoes on my sandwich. Don't get me started with the bread. This lump of poo they call bread was NOT taste nor worth $15. That's all I have to say! Xoxo Chatty Chick (P.s. the cheddar cheese was a MUST!) read more

Delicious delicious delicious!!!! I am so glad we decided to come here for girls day out!!!! I had the Northerner half sandwich which was absolutely refreshing, light & delicious!!! It had smoked turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce and some kind of sauce on a French baguette. Aaaaaaamzing... Also had some Cajun corn chowder with crab. Yum!!!! It was creamy, hearty & crabby!!!! Unfortunately i had a few hard crab pieces in it from the meat. other than that it was so so so good!!! It also came with a big piece of freshly baked bread with a little piece of butter. I broke it into pieces and put it in the soup. So good! Tons of little gift shopping inside the Taste. Wine, cheese, little salad mixes, candy, dips and so much more. Perfect for a one stop shop for the holidays. Place was very clean. A little pricy though. For a half sandwich, cup of soup and fountain drink it was $15.02. I did not expect that. But you get what you pay for. The place still smelled for fresh paint. read more

This is an excellent Taste location. There are a lot of little shops in this strip mall area and it's near my hair salon and spa, Natural Elements, so I love that I can run over here for a meal after or between treatments and spoiling. It's good to know there is a really yummy spot so close. I've reviewed some of the other Taste locations before so I don't know how in-depth I should go but they have lots of sandwich options on the menu and you can build your own. Their salads are really yummy as are their soups and pastas. I really love the Boardwalk - yum. I also love their brunswick stew. The raspberry sammies are always a nice way to wrap up a meal here - or take them to go. read more

This review is based strictly on the gift shop and the gelato!! 5 stars seriously for me! On a little corner tucked away on the side beside the Hyatt and apartment complex of the greenbrier area is "Taste!" I love the name and the concept! I was so excited to see they have a wine selection and went straight for that area! Seriously because I love me some wine I had To grab me a bottle of prickly pear Riesling and their gluten free chocolate chip cookies to bring home. Beverages and a little freezer of assortments to buy, cheese, crackers, cookies! They also had samples of the Virginia nuts to try and an assortment of goodies that are awesome take homes and evening for gifting. It's a little market, restaurant and gift shop in one. I'm seriously enjoying my Thai coconut gelato and the classic 70's music outside in the patio. It's a casual environment but with a classy flare with simple foods and sandwiches that I did not order. I will definitely be back here and "taste" all menu has to offer here. I'm in love with the ambiance great for groups, dates and hang outs with the girls. My boys will certainly love the gelato! Will be back soon! read more

Taste - Beach crunch trail mix, white chocolate cranberry cookie, sour bears - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

3 stars for My first time at this location. The line was 5 deep coming in the door which left me blocking the main entrance and exit at the regular counter (non express pickup) at 1130 Weekday. Also, Unfair they don't offer a substitute for chips when you order chips and drinks. After waiting in line to order my sandwich, I was informed if I wanted something else I could grab it from the to go fridge/store section and she would ring in separately. While she offered this, it was clear that I would lose my place in line. Tip for future newbies at this location, as I was wanting a borjo Cafe latte with my sandwich this location only has canister pump coffee carafes available... no borjo. Then after I paid $14.25 for a sandwich chips and 20oz fountain soda I went to find a table. They give you a number on a stand so the server knows where to deliver the sandwich. I couldn't find a two top that wasn't wobbling significantly. So, I sat down at a four top as a single during busy lunch hour. After all that, when the sandwich came... no chips. I didn't realize it at first since I didn't want chips really. When I did I had to go back to the counter to ask why didn't they come with the drink. She then told me they are in the store section and you just pick anyone you want. (Ok so it is ok to do that for chips but not a fresh fruit cup... boggles the brain). Mind now that my coat and food had to be left at my table on the other side of the restaurant unattended... as I am a single for lunch this bothered me. If the lady behind the counter could've taken the time to ask if I'd been here before or the foresight to tell me where to pick up chips before I sat down this experience might have been different. But as a whole the sandwich was good and enough to eat, the lady who delivered my food (short brown hair) was so nice and greeted me not just dropping off the food, and the cleanliness of the place shined. As for the rest above and the Luke warm turkey and stuffing sandwich I may stick to the Shore Drive or Ghent location for awhile. Good luck. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. I've never been disappointed by anything I've ever ordered. Their sandwiches are delicious! This particular trip, I ordered the Tidewater and my sister ordered the Great Neck. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The chicken salad in my sandwich was the best I've ever tasted. Their cookies and chips are are great as well. I love their cheese straws! I love trying all the different snacks and drinks that they have on their shelves! read more

From the bathrooms to sample table, no messes here.

Taste has been one of my favorite places to eat since moving here two years ago! I don't know why it's taken me this long to leave a review, so let's get right into it. ~ The Good ~ Taste has a huge variety of sandwiches, soups and wraps. They also have gelato and bakery goods right up front where you place your order, so you can plan for your dessert! Their artisan breads, meat, and cheeses are always fresh. My go-to sandwhich is the "Ghent" which comes with oven roasted chicken breast, basil mayo, roasted red peppers and THE BEST provolone cheese. In the winter around the holidays I get this turkey and stuffing sandwich, I wish it wasn't just seasonal because it's so good! I crave eating here at the very least once a week. Aside from the delicious made to order foods they also have a pretty impressive craft beer selection (they also serve beer on tap, great stop for growlers), house made wines, chocolate and other gourmet snacks and spreads. You can make your own gift baskets and they also have premade ones, all using locally made items. This place is like a little market place and eatery in one. ~ The...slightly not so good ~ I definitely won't say there's anything bad at Taste but I'd like to be real with y'all, it's pretty pricey. BUT you get what you pay for. They use the freshest veggies, breads and meats. I'm pretty sure it's farm to table which means you should expect to pay a little more for the high quality of food, which I don't mind (even if my bank account does.) This location also gets pretty busy around lunch time so prepare to wait a bit if you're on your lunch break trying to do a grab and go. I wish they were open later than they are, they close at 7 on weekdays/weekends except Sunday when they close at 5. ~ Conclusion ~ This is a top notch sandwhich shop and little market. I love Taste and would recommend it to anyone craving an awesome sandwich experience. I'm on my way there now for lunch! :) read more

Always friendly, efficient and delicious. A real go to place! Highly recommend the classic chicken salad over romaine.

Taste was well ..... Pretty tasty ! Actually a pretty good sandwich shop. I had the Chop Salad with Green Goddess Dressing & a Build your own sandwich.

It was dry and tough, but other than that everything was good. read more

Taste - Chip Salad with Green Goddess Dressing and Half a sandwich - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This is a great place to grab lunch... if you don't mind paying a little more for it. The food is delicious and the ingredients are of the highest quality. I've tasted the Hilltop sandwich and the crab cakes and both were very tasty. The crab cakes are 100% meat and no fillers. My sandwich had a high quality deli sliced turkey with delicious provolone. I like it because the food doesn't make you feel sluggish and slow after, but instead you feel satisfied and ready to carry on with the day. So if you have a lot of errands to run, eat here first and you won't be lazy afterwards to do what you need to do haha. The only downside is that its a little pricey for what you get. Then again, most healthy places are always more expensive. read more

The food here is usually great as well as the service. I placed an order for lunch as I usually do and was surprised at the hour wait time I was told.

Overall, we had a good experience here, but it wasn't anything spectacular or mindblowing. We were staying at nearby hotel within walking distance, so we tried this for lunch. I ordered the Northender and my fiance ordered the seasonal chicken parmesan sandwich. He enjoyed his sandwich, though it could've been warmer. My sandwich was also fine, but the bread was falling apart. I asked for my sandwich to be heated, but it wasn't really hot at all. Toasting the bread would help. Also, the french bread slice was a bit awkward to hold/handle. It might be a better sandwich on different bread. We had some of the fountain sodas, which were fine. However, the next day, my fiance went to get a bottle of wine, and he tried to get me an iced coffee, but they were apparently out of ice? Bizarre. read more

I don't come to Taste nearly as much as I should, but I always forgot about this location. It's located in the back of a shopping center so it's easy to miss if you don't know it's there. I love that taste is like a mini mart that sells a variety of snacks, drinks, cheeses, dips, and much more immediately when you walk in the door. I usually look at a menu before ordering, but I have a couple go-to sandwiches when I'm craving taste. I love the First Landing and Inlet veggie sandwiches as well as the Northender. You really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches because they are all delicious. I usually get a half with chips and drink as well. Once you place your order at the front, you get a number or buzzer that lets you know when it's ready. You also pay when you pick up your sandwich. It usually only takes 10 minute at the max depending on how busy they are. There is seating both inside and outside with some umbrellas to block the sun. I like coming here on nice days enjoying the weather. There are a couple other Taste locations in the area, and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I should really remember to come back more! read more

I am so surprised I have not completed a review for Taste yet! I love this place. Anytime I have family in town or want to treat myself to a nice lunch I go here! Taste is a fresh take on a dine and shop. Very farmhouse esque (is that fair)? Everything on the menu has a local component whether it's the name of the item or even where the ingredients are sourced. My favorite sandwich here is the boardwalk! I'm not sure if you can just choose one but I am always so happy with that choice as it is a pretty large sandwich and it keeps me full for pretty much the rest of the day. I usually get their crab chips (yum) and cream soda! While you can probably get a meal for under $10 - but let's just say it's easy to meet the $25 minimum for delivery if you're ordering for more than one person. It's probably a tad higher priced than a Panera but I think you get more for your buck and if you're into aesthetic then it's the way to go. How do you get free sandwiches? We'll get a tastebud card! 10 sandwiches later you get a free sandwich and it doesn't even stop there! Also I feel like I should say this - I don't work her nor do they pay me for glowing reviews I just am obsessed with this operation haha read more

Lately I've been pretty patient about a wait for food as I know places are short staffed but this location was just plain unorganized. My husband and I waited 25 minutes for two sandwiches while we watched others get served that came in after us. When my husband asked about our order the girl just handed him the two wrapped sandwiches without a "so sorry for the wait" or "thanks for your patience". Not to sound like a prima donna but likely the sandwiches had been sitting around as my bread was soggy. We definitely won't be coming back to eat off their overpriced menu. read more

I was recommended this spot by a coworker while I was on a business trip, so only one experience to go off here but I really enjoyed it! Cute style, very open concept, seemed very clean, and great prices too! I have been craving the Hilltopper sandwich since I left. It was so simple but so good. Fresh bread, great quality turkey, and the most amazing house dressing! Hope to be back next time in in the area because that sandwich was seriously delicious!!! read more

What's to say that hasn't been said? They have some of the best freshly prepared salads and sandwiches, but the PRICE leaves a bit to be desired. I think $15/16 for a sandwich, chips and drink is a bit pricy. Like one reviewer said, this place is dangerous for my wallet. read more

I tried this place out for lunch with my mom and sister. It took me awhile to realize that it's part of Townplace in Greenbrier. The concept reminds me of Au Bon Pain or Panera. You order and then they call you up when it's ready. My only issue is the seating. Granted, I came during peak lunch time. Still, I was lucky enough to find a place for all of us to sit together. I like that you don't order until you pick it up. This gives you plenty of time to walk around and grab some goodies to eat along with your meal whether it be kettle chips or some yummy cookies. Both of which you can try before purchasing since they offer some samples right by the door. In an effort to be healthy, I ordered a grilled chicken caesar salad. I loved the dressing and their crouton ratio! I can't ever seem to get enough croutons until I got to this place. My salad came with toasted end loaf of bread with butter to spread. I do like this place since it seems to be a local option. I think the seating is definitely better when the weather warms up and you can take advantage of their outdoor seating. read more

Taste is a great lunch place. They have both the classics and some more modern combinations. I like the nice rustic feel of the sandwiches and soup, and I appreciate that the menu changes seasonally. Soup comes piping hot, with a nice bit of starchy bread and cold butter. I would avoid the cold pea soup if it comes back on the summer menu-- it was gluey and gloppy. What I really enjoy is the catered food. Taste's grilled vegetable platter, could turn a veggie hater into a believer. The vegetables had nice grill marks, and were super flavorful. I found myself coming back for more, and more. read more

I love this place. They have the best crab ale sandwich in the area. I think it's the brioche bread and red pepper aioli that makes it! They have a wonder assortment of sandwiches, organic drinks galore, and wonderful gift baskets! They are on the pricey side so I'm not able to eat her everyday but it's a wonderful weekend treat! read more

Taste - Newly redone! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Not what I expected. This has the look and feel of a Whole Foods market - bright, clean aesthetic, helpful people, uniquely branded food items with (sometimes) even more unique ingredients, and pricey, pricey, pricey. Eschewing the "market" portion , and focusing on the soup and sandwich portion, I was unimpressed. To be frank, I felt ripped off. We got the Chesapeake Crab-cake which was quite delicious I must say. It wasn't $11 for a crab-cake on a roll delicious, but it had nice chunks of crab, was seasoned well, and the brioche roll was buttery smooth and fresh. The only saving grace. The Lynnhaven was a sandwich with an identity crisis. Room temperature chicken with room temperature pimento cheese (which was a sort of spread, some pizazz to it, but terrible , awkward congealed texture due to temperature) with cold bacon, spinach, and tomato on non-toasted or warmed Italian flat bread.. it was almost gross and felt sloppy and ill prepared. I'm a huge fan of New England clam chowder, and also love sampling new things at new places.. so I ordered a cup ($5!) yea... I won't do that again. If you refer to my terrible photography attached to this, not only can you see the aforementioned congealed cheese but more importantly, you can see the ring of grease bouying the soup. How cooking a burger pushes the fat to the edges? That's what the soup looked like and tasted like. More potato then clam, and all lard. The bread it came with was stale and got thrown out. These three items with one (1) fountain drink.. $32. Yea.. Honestly, this place deserved a worse review, however some places have off days. If they had prepped the Lynnhaven correctly, it wouldn't have been a bad sandwich, and people seem to love their soups, and I imagine not all the bread is stale.. so perhaps I was just unlucky and in this circumstance, i'll give the benefit of the doubt. My lasting impression though is that this place doesn't live up to the hype, and is basically an expensive Panera Bread dressed as a Whole Foods, titled as an eatery. read more
