On the way home from Norfolk today, driving along the Princess Anne Road route, my vehicle made a…read morequick U Turn when we remembered that Lew's Hot Dogs was closing permanently on October 31st. It's one of the few old school Hot Dog Shops that still feature the iconic Norfolk Dog. The spot closes at 3pm each day. There was plenty of time to stop. The location is on Azalea Garden Road about 2 blocks north of Princess Anne Road. Don't expect a picturesque spot. This building is located in the midst of warehouses, car repair shops & such. Lew's was obviously packed with people wanting those few last days of the wonderful Norfolk Dogs. Parking was around the front & side of the shop & on the street. Even the "no parking" area was filled. We stepped directly into an earlier time. And I loved it. Seating was mainly around the counter. I would have loved to have eaten there. But we had just had donuts in Ghent. So we ordered at the cramped takeout counter, The cook, who I suspect was the owner's wife, cooked on a small grill near the front window. A young man took the orders, writing each takeout order on a paper bag for the cook. The proprietor busily did everything. He was personable & funny. He had his rules, just like his long gone competitors, We sat at the counter and talked to a customer who had driven down from Arlington. He obviously knew the place well as the owner bantered with him. When our order was ready we left, a little sad that we couldn't stay and eat. It had been so much fun. The Norfolk Dogs were wonderful. They're snap dogs, customarily served only with mustard, chili & onions. Lew's did allow other condiments added, even serving French fries. You could get thrown out of some of his former competitors for asking for catsup or potato chips. There must be a return before they close. I want to sit and eat at the counter. I want to come out with that familiar smell of onions in my hair. By the way, they're still open to selling the shop. It comes with the secret recipe for their chili sauce. Norfolk Dog lovers need this eatery to remain open. Don't let them be lost to time.

Another piece of Norfolks history is set to close at the end of October. Lew's Hot Dogs has been…read morearound as long as I can remember and its closing makes me feel like I'm losing an old Friend. On the way home from the Yelp Event at O's Donuts, I remembered Lew's was closing this weekend. Luckily Lew's was right on our way home so we decided to stop and get orders to go. We walked in to a packed house and lots of others placing orders to go. Cash only signs were posted in several places so I was prepared when it was my turn to order and pay. Everyone was friendly and greeted each other and engaged in conversation. I felt like I had stepped back in time to a kinder, gentler place. I'm very sad that we are losing another piece of Norfolk history. The hotdogs were just as good as I remembered, as well as their French fries. One thing that caught my attention as we waited was the stools at the counter. This old Norfolk girl immediately said to my Friend, "these aren't stools, they are chairs with backs on them just like the lunch counters in Peoples Drug Store and Woolworth's when I was a kid." Loved this little walk down memory lane today. Happy retirement Lew, You will be missed.

Normally always better if grilled. Buns are split top type steamed. Dogs are good size but with steamed buns and water for the dog makes for a soggy bun, Not for me. Also buns are larger than normal split top type. Making bun to dog ratio way too much bread. Tried dog with mustard onion and chili, And dog with mustard and sauerkraut. Chili and kraut low on favor. Hotdogs ok but a natural casing are always the best. (I still miss the hormel tough skins.) Plenty of other choices for toppings. Toppings seemed to be chopped too fine. Coarser toppings add texture and favor. With tweaks here and there it could be much better. Might try again in future. There a Al's about two blocks away. There are several other dogs places closer to home that are better and cheaper. The best places are serving the Norfolk dogs. Place inside was new and clean. Weak three. Better options at lower prices.

I've never heard of them before, but shrimp po'boys are one of my weakness. When I got there, there wasn't any line probably because it was 30 minutes before they close. Their menu is simple and the meals are quite affordable compared to the other food trucks that serve po'boys. Of course, I ordered the shrimp po'boy with extra sauce on the side. The fries is already included on the meal so that was a plus. I waited for about 5 minutes as they cook my food. It was kind of awkward though standing next to the truck because the staff closed their window. I had some questions regarding the meal, but I had to wait until she opened the window again. As for the food, I was surprised to see that they use some kind of sour dough bread or french bread (sorry I do not know the difference). Usually whenever I order po'boys there, it is served in a hotdog buns. Therefore I really liked that it is served with a different kind of bread other than hotdog bun. The po'boy has a very good amount of huge shrimps. There's nothing special about their fries though. Overall, if they are in the area and I am having po'boy cravings, I will definitely be back.

While my sister was in town, she was craving some BBQ so we stopped in to Donnie's Barbecue since…read moreit was nearby. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the smell of the barbecue made our mouth water, it smelled amazing. Since we're both foodies, we wanted to try all the things so she decided on the BBQ Chicken and the Kansas City "Meat Candy" Platter. She chose Mac & Cheese and Green Beans. I decided on the Brisket & Kansas City Sweet Pork Platter with Cole Slaw, Baked Beans and Potato Salad, Cornbread came with both. We also ordered the Smoked Chicken Salad and Banana Pudding. We decided to dine in and so we could enjoy our food while it was fresh. While we waited, we sampled the BBQ sauces at the table and the Mop sauce was phenomenal. It was sweet and tangy with a little bit of spice, it was great. The food was served pretty quickly but unfortunately, we didn't enjoy most of it. The BBQ Chicken was dry, the Meat Candy was hard, and the Brisket wasn't tender at all. The Cole Slaw tasted like shredded cabbage, nothing else, and the Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese were flavorless. I did enjoy the Kansas City Sweet Pork, especially with the Mop Sauce and the Baked Beans were pretty good. The Smoked Chicken Salad was just okay. The Banana Pudding was literally instant banana pudding with a few vanilla wafers, topped with whipped cream, it was very disappointing. I've been wanting to try Donnie's Barbecue for quite a while but after that experience, I probably won't be returning unfortunately.

What a cute little hot dog shop!!! I'm wondering why (aside from the fact that I haven't, until…read morerecently, been eating meat) I don't stop here more often... It's a small shop, at best, with maybe three or four tables and a few seats at the grill. Today it's half full, so I slid right into a stool in front of the grill. And since I'm such a fan a sauerkraut, I ordered the Suicide Dog with sauerkraut. This!!! Is definitely NOT a good spot for a date, not even a blind one where you don't want to be on the date but you have to. The hot dog I got was oozing with messy, delicious goodness!!! Omg I'm pretty sure I'm wearing cheese on my nose. No matter, at less than $4 a hot dog, it was worth it!!!
