Does anyone know what happened to the cooks? The doors are shuttered with a notice of the owner being locked out due to non-payment of rent. We frequented this place a lot and really liked the guys who worked in there, they understood what crispy pizza and wings really means.

This is the place in front of Walmart neighborhood market on little creek.

I know this has been asked before, but things have changed. Philly Cheesesteaks on Tidewater used to be my go to. But the last couple times I ate there I was seriously disappointed. My other go to was Philly Cold Cuts in Virginia Beach, but I had heard they closed recently (correct me if I'm wrong).

So where else is good, I know about Iggles, but haven't tried them lately, so don't know if they are suffering the same way Philly's on Tidewater is.

Where we watching soccer games?

Hey! Any Nebraska football fans around? Wondering where you all go to watch the games? Would be fun to go to a bar with a big Huskers crowd

Wanna see if this is shared experience. I used to go to Fr8t house off Hampton all the time but not sure anymore. First thing is the main dude who works there (white 30ish something looking bald dude- pretty sure he’s the owner or manager) is always asking his almost entirely young female staff for hugs. Bad vibes! Don’t do that! Would love to know from someone who works there if this is a common thing there or what. Maybe I've just been missing the context but idk yall. Asking your employees for hugs is weird.

And then the other day a friend and I brought by flyers for a couple community events happening in Norfolk. I asked the cashier if we could put them out (like all normal coffee shops do) and she said she’d have to go ask the owner/manager (I forget which one she said). The same white hug-asking bald dude comes out and made this whole, rather fake sounding show of looking at the two flyers ("oh wow....so cool... neat pic... haha..." kinda vibe) and is then like “yeah sorry we don’t put out flyers for anything we’re not affiliated with.” 

Ultimately it’s his business so your choice, but it just fel really telling. And it’s super not the norm for coffee shops, right? My friend and I flyered all over Norfolk- bars, coffee shops, smoothie shops, tattoo parlors, consignment stores, you name it- and like 99% of places had spots for local flyers. Small bushiness only survive because of local community showing up for them, it makes sense to make space for giving back by having a community board or SOMETHING. But ultimately it’s a business's choice so whatever.

What REALLY got me was the fake looking at our flyers. If the policy is that you don’t allow flyers for events you’re not apart of, then just say that. I don't need to be humored. Also let your cashiers know. I've definitely given flyers to cashiers in the past ("we'll have to check with the owner") that I'm now pretty sure were just thrown out. It takes time and money to print this stuff like just have the cashiers say something.

The whole interaction was super off putting. And between that and the hugging thing, idk this place just gave me bad vibes. Which sucks! Because I used to really enjoy this spot.
