I've not had the best luck with food trucks, but am so glad I tried this one last weekend @ Big…read moreUgly. Our family was dining at a nearby, toddler-unfriendly restaurant so we decided to try out Cheese It Up. They are, by far, the quickest, most reasonably-priced food truck I've found in the area. For $8, I had the caprese appetizer. Their unique twist is what I would call a "tomato soup" drizzle which was delicious! The tomatoes were fresh, huge slices of fresh mozz and it was well-seasoned with salt and basil (I opted for no EVOO). My husband had the $11 Low Country Chicken sandwich which was a very yummy combo of chicken, pimento cheese and tomatoes, served with a pickle spear. It had a flavor reminiscent of buffalo wings without the heat. Pretty darn good! We were definitely happy with our selections and I will not hesitate to order again if I see them out and about.

I had the Tailgater today and it was pretty tasty - it has a sweet BBQ sauce which is good although…read moreI prefer spicy. No biggie, I just added some hot sauce. The staff were nice but I do wish they had receipts where you can add a tip if you want without having them ask you out loud and having to say out loud how much to add. I feel since there are only two staff right in front of you, it puts you on the spot. A little uncomfortable. Especially since it's before you even received anything yet. Other than that, they were friendly, especially the gentleman doing the cooking. I had the Buffalo chicken dip before and it was tasty, too!

We pulled up during what felt like a historic flood but apparently might just be another day in Norfolk. We arrived a bit after lunch hour and were able to order right away. You make your choices at the counter and then take the food to a covered seating area. (Good thing it's covered since it was pouring) I'll start by mentioning that every staff member we encountered was awesome, they all seemed into what they were doing and delivered a great experience. I was also impressed by the operation. They had everything you would need displayed in the seating area. Sauces, utensils, napkins, to go containers, and bags. No need to awkwardly look for anything. Hard to get this far into a review without mentioning the outstanding food. It's some of the best BBQ I've had! We went with the professional platter and added burnt ends. I enjoyed each and every item but the standout to me was the brisket, I've never had a juicier more tender piece of brisket in my life! Ribs were done really well also, the burnt ends had tons of flavor, the sausage was delicious, and the pulled pork and chicken were winners as well. The fries were better than expected, the Mac and cheese was tasty, and the broccoli salad worked really well with all that meat! Truly a feast!

We came to grab lunch on a Tuesday 2pm. They had a huge parking lot adjacent the building. It…read morewasn't busy. We had to put in the order at the counter first before grabbing a table in one of the shack style sitting areas. They had 7 different styles of meat and 9 different sides. They also sold snack, house made sauces and some merchandises of their brand. I ordered the 2 meat platter with beef brisket and chopped beef. Within few minutes of ordering, they brought the order out to the table. I liked the chopped beef but didn't like the brisket. Tried the burned end also that was good actually. The chicken nuggets I got for my daughter were the best. They were so tasty. The side of corn pudding was also excellent. The shack we sat in was really hot since there was no AC, just a normal fan was blowing air. It was self service so we got the utensils, soda and water. They had ketchup, vinegar, mustard, bbq and white sauces available in the condiment area. Overall it was a decent spot but bbq meat fell short in taste for me.

And if it's really good burger it'll make me a repeat customer. They've got me by the neck brother. I went on a Thursday because they have half off burgers? Fire.

If they got something good for everyone then why not go everyday. They ain't burned me yet. Run here don't walk,

Two weeks ago, I was in Virginia Beach for a class learning software for my position. For some…read moredays, I brought food from home to eat during lunch. Luckily, the building where class was held also included Gourmet Gang. I used to order from them a bunch when I worked in Chesapeake and Norfolk in previous jobs. So I was well aware of what they offered. Let's see how the food came out. For two days during my time in Virginia Beach, I ordered Ceasar salad from the crew. All you have is romaine lettuce, Mediterranean pasta, parmesean cheese and croutons along with Ceasar dressing. And I had a side order of chips for both occasions. Just like the many times I ordered from the previous locations, this one really hit the spot. Each order was put together well and yours truly was full after each serving. I really didn't need the chips since the salads were large, but they were a great compliment. Gourmet Gang, thanks once again for making a great customer happy and fufilled. You guys rock as always. Keep up the great work :)

The baked beans are absolutely delicious--rich, smoky, and full of flavor--but some days they lean just a bit too sweet for my taste. I'd love to see the savory and smoky notes get a little more room to shine. Still, it's good barbecue, good comfort food, and definitely worth a visit. Just come prepared for a sweeter Southern-style bite!

Gourmet Gang...where we're all part of the gang gang…read more I've been eating here for over EIGHT YEARS, so at this point this is less of a restaurant review and more of a long-term relationship. My go-to is the chicken salad with basil mayo and onion, and baby...that is my JAM. Creamy, savory, fresh, and exactly the kind of sandwich that makes you wonder why you ever bother trying something new. My 10-year-old son is hooked on the Santa Fe chicken sandwich, which was actually suggested by the cashier. So shoutout to the staff for casually creating a whole new household favorite. I am still a little salty that the lemon bars are gone. I have accepted it. I have grown. I have healed. Mostly. But the strawberry tea? PHENOMENAL. Sweet, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink way too fast. The place itself is always clean, bright, and comfortable. It's a great spot to grab lunch, knock out some work, or--hypothetically speaking--hide from screaming children for a little while. No judgment. Sometimes self-care looks like a sandwich and strawberry tea in peace. After eight years, Gourmet Gang still keeps me coming back. Gang gang forever.
