"Consistent Subway Sandwiches. Taste is good as always. Bread was fresh. Meat,Cheese, and Veggies seem fresh Honestly the price is just a little crazy. Used to be able to get a $5 foot long ( I know thats Old news) but now you can't even get a 6" for $5. You're paying $10 for a 6" sandwich here and that's without a drink and side. If your kids aren't in love with these subs you can get better ones for a better price pretty much everywhere."
"Worst subway I have ever been . Horrible tasting sub look like it was three slices of bologna on it, and it was called a cold cut. It was cold. I threw it in the trash "

"Love Long Neck Diner food. Great menu, good size portions, and delicious. Crab cake is good size, and awesome, lasagna great, 8 oz. burger is huge. Chicken noodle soup and crab soup are very good. My favorite place on Door Dash to order from. Tks Long Neck Diner and Door Dash. "
"The Hamburger was in a strange trapezoid shape, and the texture was smooth and odd. It was bigger than the bun, but unfortunately not very good. The bun was hard, so one bite and the enormous "burger" shot out the other side. It was some sort of meat and bread, nothing else. I didn't finish it because honestly, I didn't want to. The French fries were crispy and tasty, and there was also some sort of macaroni noodle soup that I didn't order or eat. The "Hollywood Salad" consisted of LOTS of iceburg lettuce with five rolls of lunch meat, a hard-boiled egg, two cherry tomatoes, a few slices of cucumbers and a handful of shredded carrots. There was also red onion, which I discarded immediately. $17 was definitely way too much to pay. I've had spectacular breakfasts here, so this adventure was very disappointing."

"Omg! We need one of these in Hampton roads! Traveling, ordered two cheese steaks with peppers onions and extra cheese. Hands down next to Philly we've ever had! And the brownie bites? Heavenly! be sure to order extra caramel! "
"not at all like what was pictured. the buffalo tender loaded fries weren't loaded with anything. barely a handful of fries. The brownie is a 2.7oz packaged dessert. the little donuts were 6.99 and there were 6 of them! Same size as a Dunkin munchkin. you'd be better off with those. Terrible first and last impression."

"the Jumbo Fried Shrimp was excellent and abundant. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and not greasy. well seasoned along with the tater tots. the coleslaw was refreshing but they could have been a little more generous with the serving. on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate an 8 only because of the spoonful of coleslaw."
"Spent almost $40 and got 6 shrimp, 1 snow crab cluster, and maybe 10 of the mussels and clams all together. The portions sucked, and I was hoping it at least tasted good, but it was very bland and not a lot of flavor. Happy Mother's Day to me!!! I won't be ordering that meal again."
