The service was amazing! Basically one young lady (Kasey) handled the entire restaurant with ease. The food was excellent. Great bread, great meats, and excellent flavors. I have nothing negative to say. I want another one right now as a matter of fact. lol The place is chill and comfortable. I'll be back! read more

Neat little shop in a vintage neighborhood. Friendly and GREAT food! I ordered the Ruben and it was incredible. I only wish Waves was closer to home. Regardless this sando is worth a 2 hour drive! read more

Stopped by for lunch today since I have been kind of disappointed with my old sandwich place. This is definitely going to be my new go-to lunch spot. The parking situation is surprisingly easy for a downtown area, there were so many parking spots back behind the building. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe here is very peaceful and pleasant. There are tons of well-maintained live plants, plenty of colorful tapestries, a beachy blue and sandy brown color scheme, and a ton of fairy lights and fake plants decorating the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is exactly how my house looks, and I love it. The food is amazing. We opted for a smash burger with bacon, a cheesesteak, a turkey bacon pesto sub, and a basket of fries to share. Everything was so ridiculously good. The bacon was thick and so crisp, which is exactly how I like it and it added so much texture to everything. The subs are thiccc and so good. They do not skimp on the meat here. The burger was awesome and definitely add bacon if you order it. The fries are perfect! They are slightly thicker than shoestring, and so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The basket was the perfect size to split between three hungry adults. The service was great, everyone was friendly, the food came out really fast, and refills were brought pretty promptly. I will DEFINITELY be back again and again, this place is awesome. read more

The bartender or owner was on it. He bounced from table to table to bar-that man is getting his steps in and he did it with ease. No one really had to wait for any real length of time. The sandwich's are great. Our table got the cheesesteak, the turkey bacon pesto, the Italian and the roast beef. The cheesesteak was great- it was pretty cheesy, if I was ordering for myself I would ask for slightly less cheese but really it was perfect and piping hot. Everything else was also good as well. It's a little pricey but it was good. I wish the sandwiches/subs did include a side for the price. We will be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Side note-Everclear was playing when we sat down so extra points for good jams.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The way this was hyped up on TikTok.... I think I set my expectations higher than what they should have been. I love a great sandwich... and if you grew up in Richmond when Padows was at willow lawn mall, then you know, that was a great sandwich... this was mediocre at best. I wouldn't drive out of my way again to come here. I will first start with customer service. When I first got there, there was a man and a woman behind the bar. Not once was there a hello, welcome in... there was nothing but a look up and they continued with whatever they were already doing. Normally, I would just leave when the customer service starts out like that... but again, this guy on TikTok hyped this place up... There is a baby sized tablet that is the kiosk to order on... so make sure you read the signs when you go in because of the lack of communication, no one told me that... i was just in there looking confused because the employees, i guess, thought that I would just figure it out... and I did... the BEST thing I got was the macaroni salad. It could have been a little more of a creamy texture but that doesn't take away from the flavor it had. It was very good. The meat on all 3 sandwiches seemed overcooked and a little tough to chew. The cheesesteak lacked flavor tremendously. And the meat on top seemed a little burnt. My man who is a cheesesteak fanatic (from up north) even said nahhhh this ain't it... and I agreed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is cute... but i don't have to have it again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very empty in there. Maybe that's because of the customer service or maybe it's because it's just a okay sandwich.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The man that was behind the counter was nice when he handed me my order. But that was the only interaction I had even though I did sit in there while I waited for my order. Even while sitting, there wasn't a How are you today... or your order will be out shortly... it was nothing else... read more

This restaurant receives high reviews and was located only a couple of miles from my client's site, so I decided to give it a try. Most seats at the bar were taken, so I chose a table next to the bar. It's a little strange to see a sandwich shop / cocktail bar back in Texas, but I guess it's more common here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music playing on the speakers was all over the place but ranged from Latin to rock to pop to reggae mostly during my visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't try a cocktail, so I can't comment on those, but they do offer a full bar. I looked over the brief menu and chose the Philly since I was pretty hungry. At $15, I was thinking it must be good and huge. I subbed the American for provolone and added grilled green peppers and jalapeños. I chose fries as my side. It turns out the Philly is indeed delicious and packed with beef, so the meat to bun ratio was high. This is more like a torpedo in shape, as the buns are not very wide or long. It was also plenty cheesy and even has a little grease taste without being completely grease soaken. The fries came out hot and fresh, and salty, but these are just frozen French fries so nothing super special. Service was very friendly from the woman behind the bar who was hustling the entire time and handling bar customers, a handful of customers at tables, and the take out customer like a champ. This was not her first rodeo. read more

You absolutely cannot go wrong stopping in Waves. Every meal we've had here is delicious. The menu isn't huge, it's a sandwich/burger stop in. Sometimes they have specials. The smash burgers are delicious! We've asked and the meat is sourced, everything is fresh. It's always clean and the owners/servers are down-to-earth and great. Might want to skip "lunch" time, if you don't like crowds...it's always busy, especially because of their location. Go!!! It's amazing! read more

Stopped by on my way to school after seeing so many great things about their cheesesteak! I can say this is now my #1. Unfortunately it's not "in Richmond" but well worth the drive ! It was sooo cheesy but not soggy at all. It was packed full of meat but not too heavy. Delicious. read more

Sandwich was SO GOOD and it was big, definitely got two meals out if it. Definitely recommend!!

Excellent Smash Burger, bun, sautéed onions and pickles, yum! The Club Sub, according to two family members who ordered it, was delicious and packed with lunch meat. The have a deli slicer, it must be as fresh as can be. We ordered the frie and onion ring baskets which were overflowing. We are here for a concert at the Beacon, and we wanted to try a different place...so glad we did! Our server must be part Octopus! She ran the bar and a room full of tables by herself, as well as the take out orders. She's a whirlwind! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's a fantastic place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sorry no pictures, we were so hungry! read more

The subs are delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you ever thought that a night out (they close at 7) at sub shop wouldn't /couldn't be fulfilling, think again[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My favorite is the cheesesteak sub. That's until I order the Italian sub. Then that becomes my favorite and then the vicious cycle repeats! read more

Everything I've ever tried here is awesome! Best sandwich shop in the area! Just wish they were open on weekends

We ordered our food online and it was pretty quick to be ready in 15 minutes which is about how far we live from the place. My husband said the place was clean and you could eat there but we took ours to go. There are different types of sandwiches but we had our eye on the cheesesteaks since people rave about it. It was definitely tasty and had an over abundance of meat and cheese. It's a pricey dish but I think it's worth it. I also had a side of the potato salad and that tastes just as delicious. Great eats! read more

Heard about this place from a group I'm in so wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Upon arrival, we were advised that they were out of quite a few items on the menu. Luckily, or so I thought, they had the items I came for. I ordered buffalo wings and a side of fries and my mom ordered the cheesesteak with a side of fries. The cheesesteak was 8" and was packed with meat and cheese. It was pretty good. The wings were okay but when we asked for another side of ranch we were informed they had just run out. The waitress told us they make it in-house. Overall, the food was good but go early in the day because they run out of menu items. We got there around 5pm on a Friday. The restaurant itself had a cozy feel and there was a decent sized bar. read more

This place was good! Got the Philly Cheesesteak and it definitely hit the spot. A little overpriced, but the sandwich was really big, wish they had a half option! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't eat inside, but the inside of the restaurant was set up super cute, especially the entryway area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and the lady that helped me was super nice! read more

I had the pleasure of going to Waves Sandwich Shop in Hopewell, VA. First, I have had plenty of fried chicken wings in my day, but none can compare to the crisp and well seasoned flavors that came from these wings. No heavy greasy aftertaste, which was a plus. The price point is $13, and you get 10 wings that you will not soon forget. There are many reviews that rave about the cheesesteaks. For many good reasons, they do not disappoint. They're jammed packed with delicious seasoned meat and worth the $17 price. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be back. read more

Been hearing about this place for months and finally drove the 25 minutes from Richmond City to go there. Called to place my order for pick up and was happy to see the sandwich was ready when I arrived. Got back to my car to take a bite and the sandwich was piping hot still. This tasted like an authentic cheesesteak from the Philadelphia area. Have to admit this is the best Cheesesteak I've had in the RVA Area!! WAVES, I'll be back for another Cheesesteak and I'm bringing friends so they can all experience your delicious sandwiches!! read more

Took a drive from east end to this location. We ordered online and when we arrived it took us a while to locate the place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we talked in it was a good amount of people there which made us excited to try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the Philly which was packed with steak and had a decent flavor. We also got the chicken salad (due to no chicken Philly available and I don't eat beef) unfortunately it lacked favor. If they ever get a chicken Philly we would definitely be back but for the limited menu we would probably pass on trying it again. read more

Ruben and Italian subs were excellent. Asked for the Ruben with no cheese and no butter and they got it perfect , great meat portions on the Ruben and Italian (which I came back for the next day ). Someone in my party had the avocado toast, and it was very skimpy with avocado and diced tomatoes were on there...the online pic had what appeared to be nice big plump tomatoes slices (that was disappointing to them, unfortunately). Prices are a little up there, but in general 2/3 of the sandwich portions were stacked with protein. read more

Loved this place, Philly cheesesteak and turkey pesto wrap were spot on. Customer service was perfection

Based on a recommendation from a friend (who tells me that their cheesesteaks are the bomb), I was able to finally check the place out since I was in the area. There is a large parking lot located right next to the business. I was expecting a bit more of a sandwich shop where you are just quickly in and out. To my surprise I walked in to a vibrant, cute and cozy restaurant. I arrived around lunch time on a Thursday. On a sandwich board it states you can seat yourselves, there were 2 open tables that weren't cleaned off yet but it did not take long at all for that to be taken care of. The menu is simple, yet I still had a hard time choosing what I wanted. I went with a pastrami sandwich while my coworkers opted for a cheesesteak and an Italian sub. Be prepared to pay an additional price if you would like a side as it does not come with any. It seemed like there was only one server doing everything from tending the bar and running around to tables, but she killed it. Our food came out in no time. The cheesesteak looked great - the closest to the real thing with the amaroso roll, meat to cheese ratio, etc. Came out piping hot as I could see the steam arise from it. The Italian looked delicious as well. Onto my pastrami sandwich, absolutely delicious. An excellent amount of tender meat, the pickles definitely helped make the sandwich! Crunchy and vinegary which I love. Fries were okay, a bit over salted for me personally. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, I am eyeing the corned beef sandwich next! read more

The Italian sub is Excellent!!! I'm from Up North!!! I grew up on Great Subs. I am absolutely surprised at how Great the sub was.

Everything is good here, but the cheesesteak is AMAZING. Just go if you are in the area or drive there if not.

Great sandwich fantastic service and the bread is fresh. I'll be back .... Please come to midlothian

Such a great smash burger!!! Melt-in-your-mouth kinda burger. Perfect amount of food for a quick lunch. The fries were great as well. I'm not in the area often, but would certainly come back if I am back in town. Got a great beachy vibe and service was friendly. read more

Ok the hype was spot on with this place. I went to college in Philly and spent some good time in the surrounding cities and for 30 years I have not found a cheese steak that can rival some of my favorite haunts in that area. And I'm not talking the touristy south street cheese steaks. I'm talking Dalesandros, Chubbys, etc. the waves cheesesteak I had tonight rivals anything I ever had in Philly. The bread was perfect as you know the bread is one of the most important parts of a good cheesesteak and the flavor and the amount of meat and cheese you get is amazing. They have a full bar and a good draft menu. There is plenty of parking next door as well. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly recommended. read more

Meredith the Great has done it again. Her latest venture is a kickass and cool sandwich shop in Hopewell. Huge serving sizes, delicious and beautiful food married with a tropical vibe.

First of all, I am not big on how many stars or good reviews an establishment has. Honestly, I usually think ratings and reviews are staged. However, the sub never made it home. I was definitely wrong because I can't figure out why they only have 4.7 stars. Everything thing was perfect. True no one spoke when we initially walked in but there was a kiosk just waiting for my order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was a little disappointed that the Nintendo 64 wasn't plugged in but the drawing pads kept our attention for the very short period of time we waited for our order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh yes I said very short. Hot food was delivered faster than McDonalds. And it tasted sooooooo freakin good. I went for the cheesesteak with mushrooms and jalapeño. My son decided to add bacon. Next time I will definitely be going with the pastrami. I can't make this up.... You just need to come check them out‍ read more

Best sandwich shop! Customer service is amazing. The employees really take time to get things right. Even though the sandwiches are a bit pricey, I would definitely pay for that level of quality. Cheesesteak, cheesesteak, cheesesteak read more

Good food and ice cold beer on tap. The food came out pretty quick and was hot and fresh. The service was ok, I sat at the bar ... grumpy guy waited on me and didn't come back after the food was served to check on me and I needed some ketchup . I ended up going to the other end of the bar and grabbing myself. I will be back though, probably an off day. One last note-- a lot of Gluten Free options for the bread which is great, my wife and daughter are Gf and hard for them to find places with burgers that have GF buns. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a cute place and a lot of natural lighting coming in from the front windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Delicious and a lot for the money. Nice surroundings and well worth the drive. Service was great and attentive!

Everything taste amazing here! Hands down, the best cheesesteak sandwich in Virginia. Gosoon... you'll love it!! read more

Oh my goodness this was such good sandwich place and the in house made pickles. I ended up stealing them from all my companions. I land even for a small town it had a vegan options for sandwich which was an avocado blt on the best bread with bacon tempeh. I got potato salad instead of French fries and that may have been my only error. The potato salad was fine but not as good as the fries. read more

Incredible subs. Love the Pastrami. Friendly staff and service. A great place to go for lunch.

Food was quite expensive for what it was. Server told us the potato salad was overcooked and still served it to us which I thought it was a little strange. Not many options around here so this was fine, just pricey. Not bad but not great read more

We LOVE Waves! Any time we visit our friends in Chester we ask to go to Waves. The decor is fun. The service is wonderful. The margaritas are fantastic! My husband likes the beer selection.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was great and so was the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the cheese steak but unfortunately found a hair in it, waitress put in an order for a new one which was nice but I saw the cooks had no hair nets on. Also our waitress never came up to check on us, we sat for 20 minutes waiting for our bill. A gentleman that was not our waiter checked on us very often. Again, the food was amazing but service was not. read more
