Zero’s Subs

We just moved to Virginia Beach and my boyfriend was looking forward to having some food from Zero’s. Our visit today ended any hopes of returning. The tables, floors, walls, and chairs were all dirty. Their was a film of an unknown substance on everything. After we started eating, my 3 year old daughter needed to use the restroom. Having a touch of OCD, I thought I was going to vomit. Aside from all the trash laying on the floor, there was also a cockroach… No time to go to the tanning place next door, so I had to cover the seat and hold the poor child in mid air. The sink had bits of something in it, so paper towels to turn the water on, off, then to open the door. The staff were less than warm. They seemed to be disconnected and gossiping about other coworkers the entirety of our stay. Truly an unprofessional demeanor. It sad, because overall, the food was really good.

We luv in Richmond and until a few years ago, Zero’s was our favorite sub shop until they suddenly shut down. When we went to Virginia Beach on vacation we tried it again and it was just as good. They still make the best sub I ever tasted. Maybe they will reconsider Richmond again.

Can you eat TWO 12″ HOT meatball subs? Can you eat them in UNDER 30 minutes? Not leaving a crumb or splotch of sauce on the paper plate? Do you enjoy watching the endless stream of traffic pass by on First Colonial Road while you eat? Do you like refill after refill of Root Beer in a styrofoam cup with little, round ice balls in it? If you’ve answered NO to any of these questions, then go to your silly new age tofu salad restaurant and shut up. I’ll be at Zero’s shoving food into my face hole. Burp.

The best two subs these guys have, and beat any sub shop anywhere are:
Meatball and cheese
Tuna and cheese
Optional crushed hot pepper relish. I love it on both.

2 stars for a Zero’s from a guy who loves Zero’s uh OH! I will start with the food 4 subs for a family get together and all special’s in one form or the other and all were Perfect! hmmm not the food. The Service the guy at the counter was nice and neat and did a good job taking the order and making the subs. THE GOOD ENDS There! No A/​C portables set up that did not work and were so dirty they had been there a while. Odor, Subs shops should smell like, well subs not rotting food uh oh good news it was the overflowing trash can not the kitchen! Super bad news the dining room was disgusting (glad it was to go) black greasy dirt on the floors, baseboards, chairs, ceilings… So lets finish with the Bathrooms! When your feet stick to the floor and when the sink is so dirty you decide to wait to wash your hands until you get to where your going thats bad. To end on a good note the door to the kitchen was open and suprise it looked clean! I would suggest the manager (i guess that wa him) get off his cell phone and look at how dirty his restaurant is! To wrap food great, service great sanitation needed!
