Was born on the east coast but have lived in California for years. Flew into Norfolk to meet my family for Christmas in (on?) the Outer Banks, and we stopped here to pick up food on the way to our rental. It was a great start to my holiday. It's hard to find acceptable cheese-steaks where I live, so this was a great treat, and I'll be sure to return if ever in the area again! read more

Love me a Philly Cheese Steak Deluxe! Delish need this while watching my Phillies never disappointed

They have fallen off. Their cheese steaks used to be decent and so was the cheeseburger sub but it's just overpriced and nasty now. Little options this clown claims while they charge $15 for a sub and fries. Embarrassing and nasty. read more

I had excellent late lunch with friends. It was after 3 but still had steady stream of customers. I personally never heard of this place until my friend raved about how he loved Mister Jim's for many years. Well I must say it was worth the visit. I got lost few times getting there with my GPS hiccups. The place was fairly small with a lot of take outs and I did spot their delivery vehicle outside in the parking lot. Two registers were ran like a fast food order stations and once ordered they hand out buzzers to let you know to get the food when it is ready to enjoy. Cajun chicken sub that I had was delicious but next time, I am going to have ask for extra spicy. Cookies were excellent and fresh. My friends had pizza sub and steak fries and grandmasters and potato salad. Everyone enjoyed very much. I ordered philly cheese steak sub for my husband to go and my friend order ed deluxe philly cheese steak sub to go. And of course those cookies. I will definitely have to try other menu items next time. Too bad it is 30 minutes away from me. read more

We came to this restaurant last year and it was great, so we came back this year and ordered the same stuff, they said it will take 15-20 min and we waited for almost an hour, when we got the food there was more lettuce than meat on the sandwiches and 3 people asked for their money back. We will never go back. read more

This place has great cheesesteaks and American based food. I used to go as a kid and liked it, went recently and it was great... Fries are great and the cheesesteaks are as well.. read more

My husband and I haven't eaten here since 1993. It's been the standard we have held sub shops to and all the others gave always missed the mark. When visiting my parents we decided to make the 30 minute trek and re-visit our youth.... 28 years later Mister Jim's is still is the best sub shop ever! If you're near Great Bridge (or anywhere in Tidewater) stop in. You won't be disappointed! I know we'll never wait this long again. read more

Yeah, decent I suppose for Virginia... But, I wouldn't know. I'm a new yorker, there for, a pizza snob and a sandwich snob Eh. read more

This is my first time ordering from Mister Jim's and it was not good. I ordered a chicken Parmesan sub and fries. The fries were over cooked. I ate them though because I was hungry. Plus they weren't terrible and things like that are a matter of preference. However, the sub was not good at all. The chicken was so tough and kind of rubbery. I hear great things about this place from other locals but I was generally disappointed unfortunately. read more

The wait was crazy long and the food was just okay in my opinion. the fries were soggy and they forgot out cheese sauce. I will say their cookies are amazing. my boyfriend got their chicken philly and it was def not a traditional philly. i got the Mr. Jim's sub and it was just okay in my opinion. read more

Soggy bread, check. Grease that drips down in puddles, check. Throwing up all night after eating from this place? Check All we bought was the steak and cheese subs and it came along with all the toppings mentioned above. Id rather eat at a generic subway which I hate then come back for more torture. read more

My GF and I went Saturday May 30th 2015 and were impressed on how easy it was to locate. When we first walked in we looked for the menu; I asked if they had any paper menus and was told no. Which is weird because they had a take out service . how do you have a take out service with no paper menu? We were directed into the eating area to view the menus on TV screens that were filled glare. Idk who's idea this is but someone needs to change it. Have paper menus and one above the ordering area. Great customer service though. The Food: I ordered the Grandmaster sandwich which had ham, 2 kinds of salami, pepperoni, lettuce, mayo, oil, vinegar, tomato, onion & a hot red chili paste. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Enjoyed it. My girlfriend ordered the Smoke Turkey & Applewood bacon sub. She said it was dry, not enough mayonnaise & oil & vinegar. She said it was alright, light flavor. All in all, this place has a huge variety of things to choose from & will please your taste buds. We will be returning to this Chesapeake staple soon. Side note: they have WINGS..... :) read more

Ordered 3 mr Jim's specials. I ordered online and did curbside pick up. Everything went great. Order was correct. Subs were still warm when I got home. As for the subs wow. Super yummy. Everyone ate their entire sub while saying this is the best sub I've ever had. I'm just disappointed I hadn't tried sooner. Love the curb side pickup. So convenient when your running around with kids to just pull up and grab really good food. Best thing we ate all week! I will also note the place was busy which is a great indicator that the food's awesome. read more

Poor quality of food. My husband Got a Philly cheese steak and the cheese wasn't even melted. I got a gyro and since when does a gyro have sautéed onions? It's usually with raw red onion. The gyro sauce tasted like Mayo. My son got a pizza sub and the way they just slap on pepperoni shows they didn't care how they prepare the food. It wasn't proportionally laid out on the bread. Never ordering from them again! read more

My mom and I went on a slow day and still waited over 20 mins to get our food. I really dont understand the obsession with this place. The sub I got was soggy and bland, my mom's they forgot the oil and vinegar, and the fresh cut fries were grease filled, limp, sad potatoes. Also they charge 2$ for a large cup of water. I understand that you have to make money but the cupxosts you pennies and the water and ice are the same. Dont make people take a baby cup that holds very little water when they are getting food. Not a fan. I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

Been coming here for 20 years! Italian grinder melts in your mouth! Always the same and always delicious! Can't go wrong here! My mouth is watering just writing this review! Go and enjoy! read more

Nothing bad to say here. Mister Jim's is an inexpensive sub shop that puts together an amazing sub for a very reasonable price. Ended up having the half version of the classic sub with a side order of fresh cut fries and some cookies for dessert. The classic sub was a great old fashioned sub that one could tell had quality ingredients...oh! and the fresh cut fries, boy are they fresh as can be (a regular order is big enough for two people to share). Lastly if you have a sweet tooth grab a few of their cookies I got the chocolate chunk, Royale and oatmeal cookies one can not go wrong with any of them. Wish I had pictures to share, however, it was all to good that me and my girlfriend ate it all. read more

Best place for a sub in Chesapeake. Making my way through the menu and can't find one I don't like yet.

My toasted turkey and bacon sub was good, and the prices were very reasonable. Staff at the counter were polite. Wish I hadn't ordered the fries and cheese sauce though. The fries, though hot, were limp and in a soggy pile. The cheese sauce had zero flavor. The portion of the fries was absolutely massive, but that doesn't do any good if they don't taste good. I gave them the ol college try, but ended up throwing them away. Would return for the sandwiches, but not those fries. read more

I was at a friends house Jan 23 2021 ! They live right here in the Great Bridge area ! I have never had Mister Jim's ! The sub was excellent and just the way I wanted it ! I wish you had one in Virginia Beach ! Would definitely order from them again ! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Now I bring my kids and I'll probably bring my grandkids! Me Jim's special all the way with hot peppers and a birch beer. Doesn't get better than that! Thanks Lamar for the great food and service throughout the years. read more

I love this place! Our Go-To for everything Whether it's last min dinner, on the way home from a ball game, ordering late, sub or Pizza craving and great when expecting last minute peeps. My kids ask to eat Mr Jim's every night...it's annoying. Love the staff... everyone is super nice!! You can totally tell that the management has things on lock!! It's a well ran establishment read more

I'm not sure why this place has a 3 1/2 star!!! Every time I come here with my daughter the food is great! The subs are delicious and the cookies are VERY good! read more

So good!! I love the tuna sub and the Gb club. My husband usually gets the grand master (similar to Italian club) I hear the pizza is really good too but we haven't tried it! And they have lumpia! My Only complaint is the fresh Cut fries often seem soggy so I ask them to Cook them Extra - otherwise you can't go Wrong read more

Look - this is a Great Bridge fixture. They're rightly known for their delicious subs and portion sizes on the fries are just insane. I hadn't been here since I was a teenager and I'd forgotten how awesome they are. I can't elaborate on anything with the food that most people don't already know or haven't heard. If you want a fantastic sub then go here! The Italian sub options are THE BEST, in my opinion. Just be prepared for the line during rush times and also for the fact that you may not get a seat inside. I took away one star because an older lady, whose name I cannot remember, behind the front counter was fairly rude to us twice - separately. I know she's been there since way back when (per restaurant write-ups in the VA Pilot) and sometimes people in those circumstances forget that the other half of a good restaurant involves friendly service. There is no need to angrily and repeatedly scream "Next!" at someone if they clearly aren't ready to order and standing at the back away from the registers. Nor do you need to roll your eyes and basically throw condiments when someone was clearly missing something from their table. "And that's all I have to say about thaaaat..." read more

This place is pretty good. Co worker bought me over here for lunch today and the place was packed so I said to myself it must be good . They have good menu selection and prices are good . They move at a fast pace to try and get everyone's order out quick. We dine in and they have lots of space inside and outside . Place was keep and the atmosphere was good . I got the lunch special and the sub was good and also there fries are great . read more

It's been years since I have been here last. It has been well updated. Nice. Nice outside seating. My son really enjoyed his BLT. But how can u really screw that up. My wife had the gyro and gave it a 4/5. My chicken sub was a total let down. Basically a frozen breaded chicken breast, probably Sisco, that was an overcooked hard dried out shoe. Definitely not fresh. When r these restaurants gonna realize Sisco food is crap. It takes little effort to make your own fresh chicken and not over fry it. They definitely have changed their menu. Some good, some not so good. I will try again but not the damn chicken unfortunately. I would prefer not to have processed meat type products. Also got beef lumpia. Another frozen turd. Couldn't find any beef. Don't waste your money on them. read more

I literally can't say enough great things about this place. I live in Seattle now and dream of this place. I grew up eating here as a kid, teen, and young adult. My first trip here was probably 1984-85. I often dream of opening a place like Mister Jim's in Seattle. Maybe it's Mister Brian's? Hahaha seriously to the owner and crew who I've seen in this place for many years, thank you for always making my return to Great Bridge a familiar and tasty one.I hope this place stays open forever. read more

I love this place and order from them all the time. There pizza steak is delicious and add a large home fry with cheese sauce and you have the perfect meal. Never had a bad experience. read more

Popular locals sub shop. I came here a couple times when I first moved into the area. Ordered a tuna sub both times and liked it. A little on the greasy side but tasted good just the same. You order at the counter and pick up at the same place. It's a no muss no fuss kind of place. Better fast food than most comparable chains. read more

Excellent subs ! Friendly staff, appears to be a well run business, looking forward to coming back. Got take out, but dining area had a vintage feel but was clean and comfortable. read more

2 out of last 3 orders have been wrong. After waiting an hour to fix their last mistake I called and asked them to just refund. Driver showed up while I was on the phone. I guess I wasn't thinking so I grabbed the order while holding the phone. The manager finally came on and was kind of an ass, no apology and said they couldn't refund. I will just throw sandwich out, but I doubt I'll ever use the credit. Just sad because this was about the only delivery that family could agree on. The "manager" just hung up on me before I felt things were resolved. If the owner can't find better " management" in the future they'll lose all of their customers. read more

I'm a huge sandwich/sub guy, and love checking out new sandwich/sub places. I have been hearing about Mister Jim's subs for years! I was in the area and I figured I should check this place out finally. Am I happy I did? Hell yeah. Does it suck that I have gone so many years without? Oh yeah. This place was delicious! My friend (a former regular) and I ordered two sandwiches for me to try. The Beef Bacon Cheddar and The Chicken Parmesan. Both hit the hungry stomach spot nicely! The Beef Bacon Cheddar trumped The Chicken Parmesan by just a bit. The Chicken Parmesan had just the right amount of marinara, and it didn't invade the whole sandwich. The roast beef, bacon and cheddar flavors that blended together in the Beef Bacon Cheddar sub that was delicious! I need to try more of their subs, for sure. Now here's some philosophy that a foodie friend shared with me "if the fries are awesome, then you know the rest of the food will be awesome. If the fries aren't good, the the food may be iffy." This philosophy did not prove false at Mister Jim's! Those fries were made right complimenting the sandwiches awesomely! However, I did have to keep tabs on the fries when they came out. They weren't sent out with the sandwich. Must try this place more!! :) read more

Truly this is a jewel in Great Bridge. This restaurant has been in business for 40 years and every time I've been there with my wife the food has been awesome. We had one error in all of the nine years we've come here and it was well taken care of. My wife orders the pizza steak and I have to have the special lightly toasted and spicy. I love supporting the local places and this is one place that needs everyone's support because it's that good. Lunch Date: It's a great place to start with outside seating Cocktails: I have to disqualify them because they don't have alcohol Business Casual: Maybe not as much... it's a very relaxed and friendly environment, but the wolverine poster by the bathroom is pretty freakin epic Romantic Date Night: Not so much...i don't see myself suited up for a sub and a coke, it's not meant to takeaway the atmosphere by any means of the word read more

I wanted to like this place....I really did. I ordered the Mr Jim sub special and was excited to try it. Mediocre at best...it tastes exactly like Jimmy Johns except more expensive. After eating I immediately felt sick and let's just say things didn't end well for my stomach. With all of the meat sitting on the counter being weighed in the morning I think the risk of food born illness is present since the process isn't fast. Will not be returning, not wanting to get sick again. read more

I didn't go to the location. Only had a delivery to a friends house who lives in Chesapeake. This was my first time and most definitely not my last! I had a (jims combination sub?) special... I cannot remember everything on it but it was delicious. Eating the chicken fingers with hot sauce took me back 23 years to a favorite spot of mine I used to frequent in Vegas. Sooo juicy and delicious. The fries are freshly cut potatoes... I made the mistake of ordering a large when it was way too much to eat. Sooooo Delicious and I believe they are locally owned.. don't quote me but if they are, THEY WILL FOREVER GET MY BUSINESS WHILE I LIVE IN THIS AREA! read more
