    Antipasto sandwich
    Victoria D.

    I've always loved Taste Unlimited for their fresh ingredients and high-quality sandwiches, and their February special, the Antipasto Sandwich, did not disappoint! Packed with salami, fresh mozzarella, grilled artichoke, roasted red peppers, pesto and a zesty balsamic drizzle, this sandwich is bursting with bold flavors. The combination of salty, savory, and tangy notes makes every bite delicious. Served on their rosemary ciabatta bread, it has the perfect crunch on the outside with a soft, airy inside. Pair it with one of their house-made soups or a side of their addictive chips (dill pickle ones are my FAV) and you've got a meal worth coming back for. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere at Taste is always welcoming. If you're a fan of classic Italian flavors, don't miss out on this limited-time sandwich!m

    Taste was a fun stop on our way to Virginia Beach. We grabbed a fresh shrimp salad to go and ate on the beach. It's also a great place to dine in, especially on Fridays with live music in the summer ! Don't forget to stop by the outdoor produce stand on your way out!

    Despite a large crowd and a warning of a 30 minute wait, our sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes. Since the weather was nice, there was plenty of seating to choose from both inside and out.

    After spending $35.00 for 2 sandwiches I was asked for my phone number so they can text me when my order was ready. I explained that I am the only guy here and I will be standing right there waiting on my sandwich. I even tipped her. I was told next time I will have to provide a phone number. There won't be a next time if a guy has to carry a phone to order 2 sandwiches for $35.00 and not even get a Thank you.

    I was visiting Taste for the first time, with my adult daughter who lives in Virginia Beach. She had been to this Taste numerous times, as well as to some of their other locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Our visit was for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Sunday morning in mid-April, 2023. For a first-timer, I found the layout of the store/restaurant to be a tad confusing. When you enter, there's a wide variety of take-out items -- refrigerated packaged sandwiches, salads, juices, bakery items, wines, pantry items, and more. My daughter thankfully directed us to the counter where we could order fresh sandwiches, salads, and soups. I ordered the Thai Salad ($12.99), which features house-roasted chicken breast, red cabbage, shredded carrots, cucumber, roasted red peppers, and crushed peanuts on romaine with a Thai peanut vinaigrette and topped with crunchy noodles. It's served in an eco-friendly bowl with a bread end. My daughter ordered a Princess Anne Signature Sandwich ($8.99). This is a meatless sandwich which features Havarti cheese, avocado, roasted red peppers, romaine, tomato, and roasted red pepper aioli on multigrain bread. We both also "made it a meal", which added a small bag of Route 66 chips and Boylan's fountain drink for an additional $3.99 each. Food quality. 5/5. Our food tasted fresh, and was very tasty. The quantity was also good. I had leftover salad for lunch the next day and my daughter had half of her sandwich. Atmosphere. 4/5. The restaurant/shop is large, with plentiful seating on the 2nd floor. As mentioned, it is a bit confusing with options for eating in or take out. Tables were clean, as was the restroom. Service was fast and efficient. Value. (3/5). We found the restaurant to be a bit a expensive for a sandwich or salad, and even more once you add chips and a drink. However, the quality of the ingredients used was good as were the portions. Parking was also easy on a Sunday morning in April. I could imagine though that it might be tight in the summer. We also noticed bicycle racks, and some patrons buying provisions for their bike ride.

    We had lunch at Taste on Shore Drive. It is their flagship location and it's huge. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside where there was plenty shaded seating. Not only is it a very nice sandwich shop but has a grab and go section , gifts, assorted wines, beer, and all kids of delicious food (dinners, snacks, cheeses, deserts etc) to take home. I my favorite and go to sandwich is the Northennder but today I tried something different, the Inlet. Everything is good so you can't go wrong. The kids got Turkey bento boxes They have a rewards program and the first cashier did not ask me for my number and I forgot as my grandkids were in a mad rush to play outside in the fenced in yard. I went back to get them more BBQ chips and the next cashier was nice enough to ask me and get my last order on my account. You just have to ask.

    Taste is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. I absolutely love their fresh ingredients in their sandwiches and soups and also how they offer specialty foods and wines in their stores. The staff in every store I've been in have always been super nice and welcoming. My go-to sandwich is always the Virginian, which is a signature sandwich made with prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine lettuce, tomato and banana peppers on ciabatta bread! It's simply perfection! I also purchase the Tortellini Salad to go with it which is also just as great. My daughter always builds her own sandwich which consists of meat, cheese and lettuce on ciabatta bread, simple but very tasty. I tried the Chicken Pot Pie Soup for the first time and it was different due to the slight sour taste but very delicious. It consisted of pot pie ingredients just without the crust but it was great! Taste is the perfect spot to get a great tasting sandwich or even items for a fun picnic or party. I've never had a bad experience with Taste and I love trying a new item every time I go whether it be a new drink, soup or dip!

    After Biking through Bayville park with my girlfriend, we decided to stop and grab a bite at TASTE. There is a large selection of quality snacks and treats as well as a mouthwatering menu of healthy meals. We got the "Northender" on ciabatta and the "Granny Goat Salad". Both were delicious and we felt great after. TASTE is also perfect for ordering a meal to-go to take to the beach.

    Every time I go to Taste I'm not disappointed. All ingredients are fresh and all meals that I've had have been tasty. If I had any gripe it would be the overall cost.

It wasn't too spicy if you can handle the heat and it had a tangy taste to it too.

    Decided to go here to try it out…read more First of all, the inside is a bit too hot and stuffy. Portion size was a lot smaller than I anticipated, based on other Indian places I've been. The "Virginia Iced-Tea" was really good. I don't know what made it Virginian. Maybe the fact that it was cold and had ice did. The Naan was good, albeit crispy. I'm used to more of a softer, chewier naan and so that was surprising. I had to try the butter chicken and it was a little different too. I still like it just fine, though. Rice was absolutely perfect! Some of the stuff on the online menu didn't match the menu in-house. So I would not believe it if you're looking at the one on their website. Shrimp was so spicy! Now, for the really bad parts. At first, I was pleased to get the complimentary water... until I realized that it was room-temp. Everyone else's was so chilled, there was condensation. Everyone else in the place got very large portions, mine were small. Everyone else got checked at least half a dozen times, I was barely acknowledged or straight-up ignored. When there was interaction, me and my party were treated very rudely. My guess is that it was because 1. they were scarred by the other people there that were being very rude and irritating first. And 2. some of the staff are very preferential when it comes to certain demographics and not very partial to others. Love that old double standard, it's even more delectable than anything on the menu! Final word on this place: not the best, not the worst. Service could be a LOT better.

Six of us came in around 6:30 for a college reunion weekend, wanting one proper local seafood meal out of the trip. We put our names down and grabbed drinks from the bar before choosing a space to sit outside. The restaurant is really big, with indoor seating, outdoor sea-facing tables, and a little market in the back. There's also a picnic table area with some giant lawn game going, which is where we enjoyed our drinks, making the wait genuinely pleasant instead of something to endure. For our first round, we tried the "crush," the local specialty, and ordered one of every flavor. Fresh squeezed juice, flavored vodka, triple sec, Sprite. Grapefruit and cherry limeade were the winners. The pineapple was awful. None of them were very strong, so after the novelty wore off I moved on to something more my speed (nothing beats a tequila soda). They also have a respectable beer selection. Our table ended up right by the water with a view of the boats, and our waitress was so helpful walking us through the menu, including the fact that lumpia is a local specialty here thanks to the area's Filipino population, which I did not know. We got oysters and three other appetizers, then split one entree between every two people since the portions are enormous. The fried shrimp was the unanimous favorite, and the spinach crab dip, lumpia, blackened crab cake (almost everyone ordered it), potato salad, and hushpuppies were all excellent. All of that, plus roughly two cocktails a person and tip, came to about $50 each, which felt like quite the steal for high quality seafood! Big attached parking lot, docks if you're coming in by boat, and the market sells shirts, hats, fresh crab meat, take-home versions of the appetizers, and fishing basics. There was a bit of a line/wait if you wanted to use the women's restroom (but isn't that the case everywhere?) I would definitely come back here next time I'm in town!!

We arrived about 4pm and the parking lot was kind of full but it still was a spot available for us. We walked in was greeted promptly and we had the option to sit inside or Dine Outdoors...knowing myself I love an outdoor adventure so outdoors we went... The Hostess mentioned they have a bridge that was open as well and I believe the bridge is open on Fridays and Saturdays if I'm not mistaken ... nevertheless we decided to dine on the bridge this past Friday. Omg so so so in love!! I can make this review probably about 2 pages long but I'll cut it short for you. Our super cute waitress Haley was the best... attentive informative personable a gem and made our first experience all the more amazing. We did ask for suggestions... she made suggestions for us... I ordered a cocktail and my bestie ordered a beer. My cocktail was just ok but he loved his beer of choice. We didn't want to order anything that was going to be heavy so we decided to split the Godfather Pizza and OMG it was so good so good. We knew we were returning before his departure. Here we are again Sunday during brunch hours and this time we invited another bestie it's a trio yes! We arrived about 2:00 p.m. and still decided to dine outdoors. I believe the bridge wasn't open for whatever reason on Sunday nevertheless we were able to sit on the patio. Our lovely waitress Katie was super as well. Haley and Katie kind of look like twins so I was like okay this experience will probably hit the same as Friday and needless to say it did. Katie was super awesome as well ...super attentive super patient I mean New River these two ladies are keepers and Katie shared with us that she's getting married soon so congratulations again pretty girl. Even though brunch was taking place you are still able to order pizza from the lunch / dinner menu. We ordered the Godfather again of course we ordered the chicken Parmesan pizza I forgot the name of that and the Hawaiian pizza all of them were good but my favorite on this go around was the chicken Parmesan pizza. I ate all of it even though we did share slices amongst us all the Godfather is definitely a close second. We tried the Mimosa flight it was okay I'm not a mimosa girl but the other two in my party they enjoyed it. I did have a glass of the Pinot Noir wine I'm definitely a red wine girl so the wine was right on time...right up my alley. We decided we love it here and when my bestie is visiting from Florida he already said this place is a must dine. And whoever was responsible for Designing the bathroom decor for the ladies very nice very nice. Have fun and enjoy life. :)
