    Turkey sandwich
    Katrina Y.

    So, so good. Super fresh meat, bread is soft and service is friendly and fast. I had the cold turkey sandwich and husband had egg salad, both were fabulous. The menu is full of options, both hot and cold. Plenty of seating if you want to stay and eat. We will be back!!

    Was told by a co-worker to check this place out... Decided to all go check it out was so good they decided to join us and check it out lol We all had different sandwiches(refer to pictures) and we all throughly enjoyed them all definitely will be back for round 2. The only complaint we had was the Au-ju was a bit on the bland side other than that perfection. 4/5 4/5

    Beach Decor!
    Daniel M.

    Stopped by on a Friday in April 2023, kinda busy and folks behind the counter seemed a bit overwhelmed. Slow, but whatever I have converted to "beach time" so stay cool! Ordered the "Combo" and the lady behind the Counter says what kind? I didn't say, "the only one on the menu" since that would have been rude. So I read the menu back to her and what is included on the sandwich. Also ordered the Walnut, Cranberry and Feta Garden Salad with Grilled Chicken Fajita Strips. Tad's was out of a couple of the dressing options? Salad was okay, but the chicken did not impress as something they whipped up in-house. Still like Tad's but not a Five-Star Visit either service or food wise!

    This is my go-to spot heading to or leaving the water. Sandwiches are one of my favorite beach foods. You can visit Tad's in in your swimsuit + cover up and not feel out of place ordering at the counter. They have a small lot with 6 dedicated parking spaces which is convenient. They have a large menu so there is something for everyone whether you're wanting a hot or cold sandwich. My go to is the Italian, but every time I look at their massive menu I tell myself that I'll branch out "next time." Solid, consistent, sandwiches. For COVID times they do have their dining room open limited capacity. They also have a small patio area. I have been getting it to go though. Staff were wearing masks and gloves.

    10th Street Wrap
    Ryan G.

    I found this place when I was out at Dam Neck for training and I was craving a deli sandwich. I tried a few of their sandwiches, my favorite has to be the 10th street wrap with a few substitutions. Cucumber instead of avocado, house dressing instead of honey mustard really elevates this wrap IMO. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu though. The staff is what sets this place apart. I'm only able to make it down every couple of weeks, but the ladies who work behind the counter remember my order every single time. That's the kind of service I had growing up in a small town, having that same experience here is like a little slice of home. This is my favorite spot to grab a bite to eat, I highly recommend making the trip down no matter where you're at.

    Turkey club with avocado and white American cheese. Red skin potato salad and coleslaw
    Bradley C.

    Bradley Cooper loves Tad's Deli i really worked up a fat appetite this morning with a 6 mile rollerblade at the VA beach oceanfront. i sat on the beach in the sun after in order to soak up the vitamin D and I said out loud to a close friend of mine, "you know what would fuck? a good sandwich." i looked up delis within walking distance and Tad's popped up. i said, "this is it. we're going to Tad's." i ordered a turkey club sandwich with avocado and white American cheese on sourdough. i opted out of the third slice of bread which is in the middle of most Tad's sandwiches. for sides i ordered the red skin potato salad and coleslaw. i am now one of the most satisfied customers of Tad's Deli. the sandwich was beautifully made; a lot of love and care went into making that sandwich. the ingredients were so fresh, so flavorful. it was a triumph. the sides left me speechless. the potato salad was perfect and well seasoned. the coleslaw wasn't overly dressed, it wasn't soggy and you could enjoy it. i washed it down with a diet Dr. Pepper because it's beach season, i'm no fool. 5 out of 5 Bradleys

    Tad's ROCKS! It is super delicious and a family favorite. No trip to Virginia Beach is complete without a trip or two to Tad's. My fav is the smoked Mahi Mahi.

    French Club
    Mr. Whiskers B.

    Has everything a "classic" deli has to offer. Hot and cold sandos, chips, pickles, and plenty of sides. Tons of options for all kinds of sandwich lovers. I usually order the French Club and am never disappointed. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick. The close proximity to my home has Tad's becoming a frequent favorite of mine.

The shop was super cute and they had a little shop in the front section. Quick counter service. Some seating inside and a small private parking lot!

We opted for the window counter, captivated by the cool green and white rattan high chairs. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, accommodating our lack of menu knowledge. We ordered the green goddess soup and green goddess toasts, accompanied by a warm apple cider. The flavors were simply remarkable, a blend of savory and clean, allowing the freshness of the ingredients to really shine through. They also didn't skimp on ingredients, but no a one overpowered the overall flavor. As we enjoyed our meals, the restaurant gradually filled with people, confirming its popularity. The food here is not only healthy but also incredibly delicious. We will be back!

I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.

When we got there, at lunchtime on a weekday, they were packed, but there were a few seats open at a hightop, which we took. Service was great and attentive, as well as helpful as she offered great suggestions and explained how various dishes were made. I tried a cup of their red bean and ham soup (it was the soup du jour) as well as their open face chicken salad sandwich and both were very good. They were both made fresh, in-house with fresh ingredients. Flavors were great too. I really liked the touch of having Dijon mustard on the chicken salad sandwich. There were so many great things on the menu that I would definitely return and try more!
