    Bayville Farms - roast beef/havarti cheese
    John K.

    My wife and I went there as we were wrestling with a few other choices in the area and were happy we landed there. The menu has a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and salads that everyone will find something they will enjoy. I grabbed the Bayville Farms roast beef with Havarti cheese with a house dressing. This was on a nice French bread and was a very solid sandwhich. It had a nice slice of the Havarti and was really good. My wife had the Lynnhaven roasted chicken breast, Pimento Cheese, bacon, spinach, tomato and basil spread on ciabatta bread. Again this was a pile of meat and vegetables on a good piece of bread. Both of these came with a bag of Route 18 potato chips that are locally made. The service was real quick and delivered to our outside table within minutes of finishing grabbing our sodas. While they also offered inside seating, we sat outside because it was warm and comfortable in the sun. Both are good options for the spirit of the moment. Once we left we drove by other Taste restaurant we then realize this was a chain that I would not have an issue visiting another one. This was a quick and very enjoyable lunch

    Turkey Brie

    Turkey Brie sandwich was very tasty. I wish the apple slices were a bit thinner so the sandwich distribution was better. Overall a great loaded lunch for a reasonable price!

    I had a lovely weekday lunch here. Food was delicious and fresh! Staff was friendly and personable. I just love the setup of this place. They have indoor seating, a little grab and go area, a small "grocery" store with their goods, and a cute outdoor patio. I enjoyed the outdoor seating on this gorgeous day! Would highly recommend!! They have sandwiches, smoothies, salads, dessert, wraps. Did I mention their fountain pop all has CANE SUGAR!? ( so much healthier for you!!) Will 100% be back here and will be bringing all my friends!

    I was on my way to an event so a friend suggested we stop by TASTE to get some sandwiches to-go. It was close to closing time so the place was emptied. The wait time listed was 20 minutes but I figured since we were one of the only people there, we would get our sandwiches fairly quickly but it still took quite awhile. I ordered the Lynnhaven sandwich with a snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. The sandwich itself was alittle expensive but the ingredients tasted fresh. I was in a hurry so I didn't get to browse around and see if there was anything else I wanted to try but they seem to have a variety foods and drinks.

    One of my favorite places to grab a sandwich, some gourmet snacks and wine. Such a cute local sandwich shop. It's been a few years since I've been here. I've been in Charleston forever and so glad to be able to have my favorite sandwich again.

    Taste is a chain restaurant but it's always a local fan fave and a go to for those looking for healthier alternatives in fast food. This location is one of my faves. It is HUGE! This spacious eatery has inside and outside seating. There is a cute bar with coffee, brews and wine.. Staff is friendly, and menu options are plentiful. Taste offers a variety of Hot and Cold Sandwiches, soups and salads. TIP: check out the grab and go section, upon occasion you will find markdown items at a 50% discount. This restaurant is great to work remotely from or for a quick lunch meetup. Check them out...

    My temu version on the Cobb salad
    Paige M.

    Norfolk why do you skimp out on the avocado and you don't even cut the bacon. Unbelievable! I felt like I ordered this salad from temu, doesn't even look like the Cobb salad advertised on your website.

    Good sandwich options with a specialty food item store inside to peruse while you wait. Open and airy. Great place to relax inside or outside if the weather is nice.

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
 Chicken Noodle Soup
    Young K.

    Taste is my boyfriend's new favorite sandwich place to go. They have reward points, so that you can get a free sandwich or soup once it builds up. I'm not the biggest sandwich gal, but my boyfriend wanted me to review this so here we go. I got the Chicken Salad Sandwich, and it tasted like any other chicken salad sandwich. However, I appreciated how thick the sandwich was. It had a lot of filling in it. I thought the Chicken Noodle Soup was a bit salty. I got this because I wanted the specialty soup, but they said I had to wait 30 minutes for that, which we didn't have time for. They have their own parking lot, so parking is pretty easy.

    Bag o chips

    Here on orders again after a year in Africa. Saw this place as I was passing by and figured I could go for a sandwich. Man, was that a good choice! I had the Virginian. It was ciabatta bread with prosciutto, turkey, ham, provolone, romaine, tomato, banana peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Taste if you're looking for a quick bit to eat or want a sandwich or salad. It really is a great little place.

    Thai Salad
    Rebecca C.

    Atmosphere of this restaurant was AMAZING!!! What a lovely place to study, bring a family, relax, or enjoy a date! Talk about picturesque, scenic, sunlit, and fall perfect! There is outdoor seating, upstairs indoor seating, and backyard seating! Quite a bit of extra goodies to enjoy such as a wine wall, seasonings, healthy snacks, and homemade desserts. The Thai salad has a delicious peanut flavor, all the veggies tasted homemade, and there was a good portion of chicken too. Relatively busy on a Saturday. The wait was 20-25 minutes, but we got our food faster!

    BEACH CLUB: Honey smoked turkey, baked ham, hardwood smoked bacon, cheddar, romaine, tomato, red onions, house dressing (on ciabatta)

Lovely people watching, yet it's not so loud that table conversation of challenging. You'll notice that this is quick-ish dining. It's not fast-casual, but you're not waiting 30 minutes for your food. Expect at least 10 minutes for appetizers to arrive. Our entrees were ready in about 20, and the place was near capacity. The great thing about the wait? It was well worth it. Piping hot food, served with that homemade flavor arrives on dishes that almost match. I chuckled at the mismatched bowls that hit our table. I felt like family before my first bite. Meatloaf! I can't make one, but I'll eat one that is well made. Dense, flavorful and portioned to take some with you. My bonus was that I got my wife's leftovers, too. It was delicious! It was even better when I warmed it for lunch the next day. Traditional sides, worthy of their own review, but I'll keep it brief. Get the mashed potatoes! Send a thanks when you're full.

The place inside is very cute and reminds me of a nice punk pop bar. The bar wraps around and there's some tables and a side table that we sat at to eat. I ordered one of their specialty coffees and it is quite the journey but I enjoyed it with the ginger beer and the coffee. My quiche was fluffy and delicious. It jiggled when I tapped it and the side salad tasted great with dill in it and it brightened up things. The combination of both was great. The crust on the quiche was nice as well. My spouse enjoyed their sandwich but didn't realize there was mustard so he ended up just using the chips to eat his egg and sausage. His egg was also fluffy. The patrons that came seemed friendly and you can tell who are locals since they greeted by name often. I love that this place is open. They also have local wine you can purchase.

Food was mid for me unfortunately. I had the midnight cowboy and wouldn't order it again. It's a turkey sandwich topped with pulled chicken, but the chicken was inedible and got taken off. Seemed like they took it from the fridge and mega nuked the chicken. It ended up being a crunchy topping on a basic turkey sandwich.

    This is THE place for gluten free meals and darn good for food in general…read more We tried egg white omelette, Maryland omelette, gluten free classic Benedict, hot chocolate, pastrami sandwich, turkey sando, roasted tomato and mozzarella gf sando Sometimes you don't get what you think you will. Hash browns are really home fries. Gf English muffins were out so bread subbed without notice. Such changes are fine-- everything still edible--it just adds to the "ok not blow me away" tendency here The pastrami sandwich is really good though! The meat is excellent and it has the traditional toppings. Service friendly Ambiance comfortable. Military discount

    Celiac review!…read more PARKING AND ACCESSIBILITY Parking is easy in a private (shared) lot. It is accessible but no automated doors. The bathroom, technically accessible (single room bathrooms), isn't great depending on the disability. One grab bar on the wall next to the sink, the toilet is high up and so is the sink. No surfaces to put items on, no hooks. SERVICE AND VIBES Every staff member here was friendly and accommodating. The music isn't too loud. Our server Athena was really sweet and gave us recommendations for activities around town. THE GLUTEN FREE EXPERIENCE I had to ask for a gluten free menu, which was separate. So many options! And the menu lists the ingredients of all their gluten-free bread substitutes. They're using Udi's for sandwich and burger buns and schar for English muffins, pizza crust, and pasta. When they take your order, make sure you explicitly tell them you're ordering from the gluten free menu, as several items are identical to the regular menu. If you have an allergy or celiac disease, ask them to note that. They have a button on their handheld device for celiac disease (and other allergies). When they set down my sandwich they said "this is the gluten free sandwich". Mine came with a sealed bag of cape cod chips (as opposed to the house made potato chips). The bread is how udi's is. It fell apart pretty fast. It was good and they didn't under fill the sandwich. The server knew what celiac was.

They sell different vegan dishes and most have what they call kush in them. It seems to be some sort of grain, but I really don't know. But I do like it. They have Alfredo, nachos, Mac n cheese, desserts, and smoothies. Some of the food is reasonable and some is pricey. A few desserts were $10-$15. I wanted to try them, but not for that price. We placed our order and looked around the store. They have updated the store/restaurant, so it's a more modern vibe. You can read books or hang out inside, so that's cool. The restroom was clean. There was plenty of seating to dine in. The store side sells books, crystals, jewelry, and more!! The cashier and cook were both very friendly!! I'm not vegan so I stick to what taste familiar to me to be safe. The chili is good, you wouldn't even know it's vegan. Definitely get the vegan nacho cheese to kick it up a notch. It also comes with chips. The alfredo came with veggies and kush. I'm glad it was saucy. I got it fully loaded so it came with a hash brown on top also. It was pretty good, but could use a little more seasoning to elevate the taste.. The last time I ate here the portions were a little larger, they seem to be noticeably smaller this time, so that's the only difference I've noticed. The kush usually confuses my stomach for a few days afterwards. It also may make you feel full faster but, I think it's worth trying. If your a vegan you should check them out, but even if you're not you can probably find something to try! Check them out!!
