Went here Sunday while attending the fall pumpkin festival and decided to get a drink from the bar…read morebefore we left the market area to ride the hayride to the pumpkin patch. The staff were friendly and nice; our waitress even made some conversation at our table for a little bit. The outdoor dining area had a cute setup; def would like to see how it is during the summer. I don't remember the name of the drink I got because I asked the lady at the order window to make whichever one was both fruity and sweet. I'd give the drink an 8/10; it was pretty good, but became watered down really really fast. Didn't try any food off the menu because we were already planning to go eat after we left the farm, but after looking at the menu, I definitely see myself going back here soon to try their food and whatever new seasonal items/drinks they'll be adding to the menu in the next month or so. My overall rate of experience : 8.5/10

So thankful that Greenbrier Farms finally worked things out with the city & they are back OPEN!…read more I stopped to grab a bite to eat. I ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich with fresh fruit & a Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail. The chicken salad was horrible, lol like I actually took one bite & couldn't eat anymore. It's like the chicken salad was ground or puréed. The fresh fruit was delicious & ripe! The Strawberry Lemonade was delightful, a little heavy handed for my liking. I'm so happy this place is open that I'm still giving it 5 stars, despite not eating the sandwich.

I've lived in VB for almost 11 years, and have NEVER gone strawberry picking! Crazy, I know. I knew…read morethis season I had to go, so I grabbed my friend and her two kids and we decided to give Hickory Ridge Farm a try! What a gem. They have buckets for you to grab, or you can bring your own. You get charged per pound that you pick and pay when you're done! They had so many strawberries ready to pick, I had so much fun doing this with my friends kids! I was already planning on making a homemade strawberry shortcake when I got home. They have a cute little coffee truck which I obviously had to stop by. If you have a strawberry latte during strawberry season - you can count on me to grab one! It was so good, and not too sweet or tart from the strawberry! I also had to grab their strawberry donuts from the farm stand. Which, needless to say ... they did not make it home with me. We scarfed those down! Incredible. I loved the "petting zoo" area. You can feed the goats, sit in the rabbit pen and give them some pets, and play with the piglets! Such a cute add on to this experience; and the petting zoo was no charge! They also have a ton of toys and bounce houses for the kiddos. If you're looking for a fun strawberry picking experience, give them a try!

I've been coming to Brookdale farms for several years now - primarily due to it being the closest…read morestrawberry farm to our house in the Kempsville area. This farm always participates in the strawberry picking season and the price is about $4/lb for U Pick. The employees are friendly and it's a no frills strawberry type of farm. The farm itself is on the smaller side but still has enough rows of Strawberries for your picking needs. Our recent trip resulted in a Ton of great looking strawberries but weren't as sweet as we were expecting but it was still tasty. The parking space here can fill up quickly. Recommended wearing closed toes shoes, esp when there is a recent rain storm. Still love to come here and pick some strawberries and will continue to come.

I've lived in this area for many years now and it's my first time to…read more Brookdale Farm. I came here yesterday on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in hopes of picking some strawberries with my family. The place was hopping! Which got me confused when I saw the sign "U pick closed." Evidently they've been so busy with people picking strawberries they were pretty much picked over. They had a fun inventory of gifts, fresh produce, fresh dairy, drinks, jams, and candy. I will definitely be coming back!

My first encounter with the chain was many years ago down in Georgia and was one of the things I knew I would miss when I moved back home. Fast forward a couple years later, and ALDI starts popping up all over Hampton Roads. Praise the Lord! Now, there are certain things I will still continue to buy at other markets, just because I think their store brand or the name brand tastes better, but I always do the bulk of my grocery shopping here. I'm sure I could find better deals on some items at another store, but I simply don't have time to coupon or cost compare. The prices here are outstanding, especially for organic produce and dairy as well as meat and frozen foods. Bonus: they have Blue Bell ice cream! My recent love affair is with Aldi's curbside pickup. The online website for pickup or delivery is easy to navigate, there's no additional fee, and it saves me so much time (and in store toddler meltdowns). Once you get to the store, check in through the text message link, and they'll load your groceries in no time flat. Oh aldi, how I love thee!

Probably the dirtiest and most rude Aldi I've ever been to. I came in today since we were closer to…read morethis location, the bathrooms were disgusting and the rest of the facility matched. The employee who checked us out wasn't rude but he threw heavy items on top of our meat and fresh produce which could have caused them to pop open or get smashed. Their merchandise was also not organized either, very messy. This is the first time visiting an Aldi that is this way so it caught me off guard.

Ran in to the store last night with one thing on my mind! We saw a Facebook post about them selling…read moreHalloween pasta how cute!! So far don't have it. I will start by saying if you have never been inside one it is almost completely all brands you never see or see in your everyday grocery store. If you need a basket bring a quarter!! Also bring your own reusable bags! Or you can buy some up front. They are not expansive the paper is 10 cents. They put it in your cart and then they have a bar along the wall where you go and bag it yourself. These are all things I wish I knew they every first time I went! I was confused at first!! It has a decent amount of options not a whole lot of Isles but you can probably find a big chunk of what you are looking for. We have noticed we definitely save money on cream cheese and fresh fruits and vegetables depending on the sales. And always save money on chips 84 cents for a bag. I always for get about this grocery store and then will randomly go and I always find something good. We found some Taco Bell chips I have never seen. I got some little ice cream cups for the kids. And a few other things. We got 6 food products and two toys for $30.
