    Antipasto sandwich
    Victoria D.

    I've always loved Taste Unlimited for their fresh ingredients and high-quality sandwiches, and their February special, the Antipasto Sandwich, did not disappoint! Packed with salami, fresh mozzarella, grilled artichoke, roasted red peppers, pesto and a zesty balsamic drizzle, this sandwich is bursting with bold flavors. The combination of salty, savory, and tangy notes makes every bite delicious. Served on their rosemary ciabatta bread, it has the perfect crunch on the outside with a soft, airy inside. Pair it with one of their house-made soups or a side of their addictive chips (dill pickle ones are my FAV) and you've got a meal worth coming back for. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere at Taste is always welcoming. If you're a fan of classic Italian flavors, don't miss out on this limited-time sandwich!m

    Taste was a fun stop on our way to Virginia Beach. We grabbed a fresh shrimp salad to go and ate on the beach. It's also a great place to dine in, especially on Fridays with live music in the summer ! Don't forget to stop by the outdoor produce stand on your way out!

    Despite a large crowd and a warning of a 30 minute wait, our sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes. Since the weather was nice, there was plenty of seating to choose from both inside and out.

    After spending $35.00 for 2 sandwiches I was asked for my phone number so they can text me when my order was ready. I explained that I am the only guy here and I will be standing right there waiting on my sandwich. I even tipped her. I was told next time I will have to provide a phone number. There won't be a next time if a guy has to carry a phone to order 2 sandwiches for $35.00 and not even get a Thank you.

    I was visiting Taste for the first time, with my adult daughter who lives in Virginia Beach. She had been to this Taste numerous times, as well as to some of their other locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Our visit was for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Sunday morning in mid-April, 2023. For a first-timer, I found the layout of the store/restaurant to be a tad confusing. When you enter, there's a wide variety of take-out items -- refrigerated packaged sandwiches, salads, juices, bakery items, wines, pantry items, and more. My daughter thankfully directed us to the counter where we could order fresh sandwiches, salads, and soups. I ordered the Thai Salad ($12.99), which features house-roasted chicken breast, red cabbage, shredded carrots, cucumber, roasted red peppers, and crushed peanuts on romaine with a Thai peanut vinaigrette and topped with crunchy noodles. It's served in an eco-friendly bowl with a bread end. My daughter ordered a Princess Anne Signature Sandwich ($8.99). This is a meatless sandwich which features Havarti cheese, avocado, roasted red peppers, romaine, tomato, and roasted red pepper aioli on multigrain bread. We both also "made it a meal", which added a small bag of Route 66 chips and Boylan's fountain drink for an additional $3.99 each. Food quality. 5/5. Our food tasted fresh, and was very tasty. The quantity was also good. I had leftover salad for lunch the next day and my daughter had half of her sandwich. Atmosphere. 4/5. The restaurant/shop is large, with plentiful seating on the 2nd floor. As mentioned, it is a bit confusing with options for eating in or take out. Tables were clean, as was the restroom. Service was fast and efficient. Value. (3/5). We found the restaurant to be a bit a expensive for a sandwich or salad, and even more once you add chips and a drink. However, the quality of the ingredients used was good as were the portions. Parking was also easy on a Sunday morning in April. I could imagine though that it might be tight in the summer. We also noticed bicycle racks, and some patrons buying provisions for their bike ride.

    We had lunch at Taste on Shore Drive. It is their flagship location and it's huge. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside where there was plenty shaded seating. Not only is it a very nice sandwich shop but has a grab and go section , gifts, assorted wines, beer, and all kids of delicious food (dinners, snacks, cheeses, deserts etc) to take home. I my favorite and go to sandwich is the Northennder but today I tried something different, the Inlet. Everything is good so you can't go wrong. The kids got Turkey bento boxes They have a rewards program and the first cashier did not ask me for my number and I forgot as my grandkids were in a mad rush to play outside in the fenced in yard. I went back to get them more BBQ chips and the next cashier was nice enough to ask me and get my last order on my account. You just have to ask.

    After Biking through Bayville park with my girlfriend, we decided to stop and grab a bite at TASTE. There is a large selection of quality snacks and treats as well as a mouthwatering menu of healthy meals. We got the "Northender" on ciabatta and the "Granny Goat Salad". Both were delicious and we felt great after. TASTE is also perfect for ordering a meal to-go to take to the beach.

    Taste is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. I absolutely love their fresh ingredients in their sandwiches and soups and also how they offer specialty foods and wines in their stores. The staff in every store I've been in have always been super nice and welcoming. My go-to sandwich is always the Virginian, which is a signature sandwich made with prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine lettuce, tomato and banana peppers on ciabatta bread! It's simply perfection! I also purchase the Tortellini Salad to go with it which is also just as great. My daughter always builds her own sandwich which consists of meat, cheese and lettuce on ciabatta bread, simple but very tasty. I tried the Chicken Pot Pie Soup for the first time and it was different due to the slight sour taste but very delicious. It consisted of pot pie ingredients just without the crust but it was great! Taste is the perfect spot to get a great tasting sandwich or even items for a fun picnic or party. I've never had a bad experience with Taste and I love trying a new item every time I go whether it be a new drink, soup or dip!

    Every time I go to Taste I'm not disappointed. All ingredients are fresh and all meals that I've had have been tasty. If I had any gripe it would be the overall cost.

    Outside picnic table seating
    Mary-Ann L.

    I would have given this place 5 stars but am holding out on hope that they'd serve coffee concoctions like their Norfolk location. This place has ample parking, staff to take orders, lots of outdoor picnic table seating. Inside they have refrigerated displays for to go food like soups, brownies, quiches. They have wines, cheese, etc. They have a whole length of display of different flavored chips and everything you can order at the counter:sandwiches, salads, sides.

Stopped by for a burger and a beer to drown in my solitude. Had great service. Prompt, attentive and genuine. Only downside was some pretentious guy named Jeff kept whining about the hostess and the service being "special needs" because he couldn't get his group prompt service under 15 minutes on a special holiday. If it wasn't for some derogative guy whining off the bell about how the service wasn't up to par every couple minutes I'd have enjoyed what would've been quite a depressing day for me. Other than that, burger was damn heavenly. Beer was cold and good. Service was grand. Some people just ruin it for others. Great spot, great burger, good beer and good folks. B.W.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV
