Northender sandwich
Sarah M.

I had a lovely weekday lunch here. Food was delicious and fresh! Staff was friendly and personable. I just love the setup of this place. They have indoor seating, a little grab and go area, a small "grocery" store with their goods, and a cute outdoor patio. I enjoyed the outdoor seating on this gorgeous day! Would highly recommend!! They have sandwiches, smoothies, salads, dessert, wraps. Did I mention their fountain pop all has CANE SUGAR!? ( so much healthier for you!!) Will 100% be back here and will be bringing all my friends!

I was on my way to an event so a friend suggested we stop by TASTE to get some sandwiches to-go. It was close to closing time so the place was emptied. The wait time listed was 20 minutes but I figured since we were one of the only people there, we would get our sandwiches fairly quickly but it still took quite awhile. I ordered the Lynnhaven sandwich with a snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. The sandwich itself was alittle expensive but the ingredients tasted fresh. I was in a hurry so I didn't get to browse around and see if there was anything else I wanted to try but they seem to have a variety foods and drinks.

One of my favorite places to grab a sandwich, some gourmet snacks and wine. Such a cute local sandwich shop. It's been a few years since I've been here. I've been in Charleston forever and so glad to be able to have my favorite sandwich again.

Taste is a chain restaurant but it's always a local fan fave and a go to for those looking for healthier alternatives in fast food. This location is one of my faves. It is HUGE! This spacious eatery has inside and outside seating. There is a cute bar with coffee, brews and wine.. Staff is friendly, and menu options are plentiful. Taste offers a variety of Hot and Cold Sandwiches, soups and salads. TIP: check out the grab and go section, upon occasion you will find markdown items at a 50% discount. This restaurant is great to work remotely from or for a quick lunch meetup. Check them out...

My temu version on the Cobb salad
Paige M.

Norfolk why do you skimp out on the avocado and you don't even cut the bacon. Unbelievable! I felt like I ordered this salad from temu, doesn't even look like the Cobb salad advertised on your website.

Good sandwich options with a specialty food item store inside to peruse while you wait. Open and airy. Great place to relax inside or outside if the weather is nice.

Chicken Salad Sandwich
 Chicken Noodle Soup

Taste is my boyfriend's new favorite sandwich place to go. They have reward points, so that you can get a free sandwich or soup once it builds up. I'm not the biggest sandwich gal, but my boyfriend wanted me to review this so here we go. I got the Chicken Salad Sandwich, and it tasted like any other chicken salad sandwich. However, I appreciated how thick the sandwich was. It had a lot of filling in it. I thought the Chicken Noodle Soup was a bit salty. I got this because I wanted the specialty soup, but they said I had to wait 30 minutes for that, which we didn't have time for. They have their own parking lot, so parking is pretty easy.

Here on orders again after a year in Africa. Saw this place as I was passing by and figured I could go for a sandwich. Man, was that a good choice! I had the Virginian. It was ciabatta bread with prosciutto, turkey, ham, provolone, romaine, tomato, banana peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Taste if you're looking for a quick bit to eat or want a sandwich or salad. It really is a great little place.

Thai Salad
Rebecca C.

Atmosphere of this restaurant was AMAZING!!! What a lovely place to study, bring a family, relax, or enjoy a date! Talk about picturesque, scenic, sunlit, and fall perfect! There is outdoor seating, upstairs indoor seating, and backyard seating! Quite a bit of extra goodies to enjoy such as a wine wall, seasonings, healthy snacks, and homemade desserts. The Thai salad has a delicious peanut flavor, all the veggies tasted homemade, and there was a good portion of chicken too. Relatively busy on a Saturday. The wait was 20-25 minutes, but we got our food faster!

BEACH CLUB: Honey smoked turkey, baked ham, hardwood smoked bacon, cheddar, romaine, tomato, red onions, house dressing (on ciabatta)
Darlene N.

If you haven't tried the Cobb Salad yet, you are missing out! Always fresh, filling and delicious. From lunch to early dinner, this salad hits the spot and it's an absolute fan favorite! If you want to surprise someone with a tasty treat for lunch, this salad never fails me!

First off, this is not my first, second, or last time coming here. I've been here to study, for lunch dates, quick coffee runs, and to grab some wine for a girls night. Taste is a great place for any of the above and I would highly recommend to anyone. I love that they have a parking lot. There is also A TON of space on the inside to sit down and eat and a cute patio outside as well. The staff has always been kind to me and I really like their variety in food. I've had multiple signature sandwiches and to go sandwiches from their cold section and they're tasty. My recommendation would still be their warm fresh sandwiches though. A plus- their French bread is SO soft and tasty. Their coffee and drinks are also great to get. I'm always here to study so I always get a latte and they never disappoint.

It's been a while since I last reviewed the No Frill Bar and Grill located just off Colley Avenue…read morein the Ghent section of Norfolk. This local favorite has maintained a loyal following since opening its doors in 1987, and after one visit it's easy to understand why. Having grown up in Norfolk, I still make the trip over from Chesapeake from time to time because some places are simply worth returning to. Our favorite bartender Lauren is always friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu suggestions if you're undecided. She also happens to make a fantastic drink, which certainly never hurts. My wife ordered the Sesame Shrimp Salad consisting of fried butterflied shrimp, organic mixed greens, fresh vegetables, mandarin oranges, crispy wontons, and their house Red Dragon dressing. The presentation alone was impressive, but the flavor balance is what truly stood out. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that I never even managed to get a taste myself, which is saying something. I decided on the Shrimp Platter and the portion size alone was enough to get my attention. The shrimp were fried to a perfect golden brown, served piping hot, and properly seasoned throughout. The crinkle-cut fries delivered that ideal contrast of crispy exterior and soft potato center, while the coleslaw brought a refreshing balance of sweetness and acidity that tied the entire plate together beautifully. No Frill continues to prove that you do not need unnecessary gimmicks when the food, service, and consistency speak for themselves. If you enjoy well-prepared comfort food served by people who genuinely care about the experience, this Norfolk institution remains well worth the visit.

The service is always great and the hosts/servers are always friendly. Our go to is the meatloaf. when you're looking for a good ol' comfort food - that's the best.

We skipped the starters but ordered cocktails. I had the Lavender Lemon Cocktail & my friend ordered the blood orange mimosa! Alex, our waiter was kind, professional & took great care of us! He offered some great suggestions with a smile too! I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake French toast & it was even better than it sounds. The filling was light & fluffy without being too sweet.

Good taste With all of these dinner items, the food was enjoyable. Nothing blew us away but also nothing disappointed Lava cake -- hot and chocolatey. Breakfast: pastrami hash--. Very chunky version. Not much in peppers and onions and they are very very small, mixed with big chunks of potatoes ( home fries) and big pieces of meat. All this is topped with 2 fried eggs. It was good and I'd order it again Shakshuka-- more like tomato sauce, and the avocado was meh. Basic breakfast -- as expected and good This place has half price pizza on certain evenings and the wood oven smells great Service was friendly and they brought us a sample of cheddar tomato soup since it was our first time Will be back as this is a reliable local restaurant.

Updated Review:…read more 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.

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!
