    Tried their Philly steak sandwich and meat ball sandwich. Both are ok, but the Philly steak one has very little meat. The staff is polite, place is clean.

    I do love a Zero's sub. Warm and toasty with Olive Oil and Seasonings. Conveniently located with a parking lot. They have seating indoors but I always take it home. If you like Cheerwine.....they have it!!! Glass bottles. Prices have gone up but all prices have gone up. They always have a sub of the month and other specials. Friendly staff. The owner does a lot to help the local kids so I love supporting this particular Zero's.

    Every time I come to VA I'm beach Zero subs is definitely on the list of places to go! Technically, I have given up subs but how can I resist this place‍‍. Bread is like none other! Parking not a issue as this is a stand alone restaurant. Bathrooms and store nice and clean. If I had the option of choosing more than 5 stars I definitely would give it more. You are doing yourself a huge favor if you stop by! You won't regret it! The best around!

    Since 1967 Zero's Subs founded in Virginia Beach has been cranking out delicious subs. So before Subway they were making it fresh! Since 1967 the original location is no longer, but they have expanded and franchised out of state. Their name recognition is still local to Hampton Roads. I've had a few visits to this location that have been solid and thought it was strange their business listing disappeared. So I have added and expect Yelp HQ to locate the original. When pulling in the tiny lot your greeted by a large VW bus mural by local artist TALENT which is darn cool! The business retains a surfer type atmosphere with roots at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. A recent visit I grabbed a BLT with chips. I received friendly customer service from both staff at cash register and sandwich maker. The price was above chain sub places, but not by much. The beachy atmosphere was small with table and chairs. Everything was clean and inviting for guest. My order was called up in less than 10 minutes. The bread was fresh and it was loaded beyond expectations of bacon. Check out one of their many Coastal Virginia locations and support local.

    My fiancé and I went here for lunch after driving from Richmond. We wanted something that we could take on the beach with us if we didn't finish, so we chose subs. We've never tried Zero's so we ended up here. Upon walking in, it smelled weird and was really hot. While waiting for our food, we have a fan blowing on us and it smelled like onions. There's seating inside but we opted to eat in the car. Staff was friendly to guests and made conversation with the regulars there. I ordered the Turkey and cheese sub without lettuce and tomato. My fiancé ordered the Grinder with everything on it. My sub was OK aside from something spilled on it (smelled spicy) and my lettuce was very warm. My fiancé liked his sub!

    I think this was the original Zero's location. So, I grew up with Zero's as a VB "native" and whenever I get to come back....I always have to get a grinder. Usually I go to the Hilltop location but wanted to try the original location....though I am sure as a kid I went here. Never disappoints....these grinders. Something about them that just brings back the memories and nostalgia....and they are just so good! I called ahead and placed my order. This is a busy location and the line was literally out the door, yet it moves fast! Everyone is friendly and polite, and my order was made exactly as requested!

    It's a little curmudgeonly of me, but I didn't want this place to be as good as it actually is. I…read moredo work around this area and had been curious about Yorkie's for a while; about a month ago I had the opportunity to stop in. It's kind of like Taste in that it's like a Hip And Trendy Sandwich Spot - the staff is mostly perky, cool, and very competent college students - and the prices are about on par with Taste as well, but for what you get here, it's probably double the value of what you can get there. I got their tuna melt, which stuck with me for long enough that it had me craving another sandwich like that when I was in the area again. So today I was in the area again and I brought a friend, who also got the tuna melt and loved it. The thing about that sandwich is that they probably put about a half pound of bluefin tuna salad on it, and it's not mayo or filler-heavy. It's very tuna-forward, which is a plus to me. This time I got the Kevin's Bday, which was turkey, bacon, cheese, LT with this amazing garlicky green onion aioli, because honestly I was like, "Well, the tuna melt was really good. But what about just a Normal Ass Sandwich??" Both those sandwiches come on thick toasted (I think potato?) sandwich bread and my god it was all SO delicious. Again, the portion was enough for two meals, and it was just a turkey sandwich! The turkey was super succulent too. One small detail i really appreciated was that I believe they cut their tomatoes on the slicer as well; they're incredibly thin, and they add a lot to the sandwich without overpowering it. Also their tots are unreal. Sorry for rambling. I'm very passionate about sandwiches apparently. All I'm saying is that if you're at the oceanfront and you're trying to pick a sandwich place, it should be this one.

    I saw Yorkie's advertise their Wednesday "Girl Lunch" special and immediately knew I had to try it…read morebecause it combines some of my favorite things: tots, Caesar salad, and a fried chicken cutlet. It was definitely busy during the lunch rush, but worth the wait. The dish was so good! The lemon zest really brightened everything up and kept it from feeling too heavy despite the Caesar dressing, tots, and fried chicken. It added a depth of flavor I wasn't expecting and absolutely loved. At $18 (+ an additional $2 for a can of diet coke), it's a little pricey IMHO, but I'd order it again without hesitation because it's that good. Yorkie's is such a cute spot, the staff was friendly, and while parking can be a bit sparse around lunchtime, it's worth it. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and open gooey deliciousness! Today, Baker's Crust catered breakfast at my office, and I was excited to see a table overflowing with bagels and cream cheeses. It was like Christmas morning for carb lovers! Unfortunately, none of the bagels or cream cheeses were labeled. My excitement quickly turned into confusion when I took a big bite of what I was sure was my beloved strawberry cream cheese... only to discover it was definitely not strawberry. And let's just say an onion bagel paired with the wrong cream cheese is a combination I wouldn't recommend. The food itself was great, but a little labeling would go a long way. A simple sticker or note on the bottom of each cream cheese container and small tent cards identifying the bagel flavors would save future customers from accidental flavor roulette. Still a fan, but next time I'd like to know whether I'm biting into strawberry bliss or an unexpected onion surprise! For a side note it's so easy to order online for a quick stop on the way to work. Perfect every time!!!

I repeated that I was eating in ... the young man said "let me put it in a bag for you. ' I am eating in ... don't need a bag for my bagel ... take a dime off my coffee price and save the bag. The raison d'etre for this visit ... a bagel with veggie cream cheese... well it was a very good bagel with crunch and a decent schmear of veggie cream cheese. The bagel shop itself has a huge empty except for me dining area with lots of room to work if you choose to do so but I'd pick a place with reasonably priced coffee that includes refills if I was working. Sugar in my coffee uh no ... having to order off a tablet on the wall ... no ... a good reasonably priced bagel yes... maybe call in an order for bagels and get your coffee elsewhere or better yet find a nice diner with a waitress who comes to your table.

It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!
