Foodies - The Local's Market — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

I'm retired, single, and in my 60's. I was looking for a meal service that would provide a healthy dinner. I found it through Foodies. I originally placed my orders on-line and had them delivered; however, since they were so close to my home, I decided to shop in-store. Patrick and Melissa are most open to requests and have an awesome display of their chef's culinary craft in the store. Vicky does an exceptional job of welcoming everyone, taking their order, and making sure you're pleased with your order. While they offer a wide range of options from a lunchtime menu, to ready prepared meal selections, to catering, and cooking classes; visit the website to see all that is offered. Daily in the display case to purchase for dinner are a variety of fish (Salmon, Mahi-Mahi, Crab Cakes, & Shrimp); Meat Loaf, Lasagna (Sausage is great but watch calories); Pastas, always Mac and Cheese to please the children; several varieties of chicken, as well as nuggets; a wide variety of vegetables; and every so often, Stuffed Peppers! I have always tried to exercise and eat well; however, by only changing to purchasing my dinner from Foodies the majority of the time, I have dropped my weight from 270 lbs. to 243 lbs. (5 months.). I know I am purchasing a healthy, tasteful, and filling meal. This store has so much to offer, check their website and visit the store in-person & don't forget to check-out the chicken salad, salads, and desserts in their cooler.

1/11/2025. I continue to visit Foodies and enjoy their great lunch and dinner selections. Last Friday, 1/10/2025, while selecting my meals for the next couple of days, I saw a new addition to their selection, Juggernaut Cookies. I am not a sweets person; however, these cookies looked too good to pass up. So I tried the Pecan cookie and I was correct, these cookies are...

I cannot speak highly enough of this place. If you are reading these reviews, seriously just stop right now and go check them out.

A few weeks ago, we were looking to try somewhere new, found them on Google, and knew we had to give it a try. When we went into the shop, Vicki greeted us so kindly and asked if it was our first time in. We said yes, and she went to the back, then came back and informed us that the sandwich line was supposed to be closed because they were catering a wedding, but the owner said he wanted to make us sandwiches. We said it was no problem and we would just come back another time, but she insisted. We ordered the The South Philly and The Keller (Vicki's recommendation) and shared them so we could try each one. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious. When we were finished, I had a little left over (the sandwiches are huge) so we asked for a box, but instead Vicki packaged it up so nicely and even gave us more of their house made chips to go with it as we had already eaten all of ours. When we were leaving, Vicki also gave us a sample of The Julia (their chicken salad sandwich), which, no surprise, was also amazing.

We went back again today and had the chance to meet the owner, Patrick. He is such a genuine person and speaks so passionately about his food and his vision. He truly wants to support other local businesses and create a community for locals to connect with these local businesses and eat great food.

We are definitely customers for life and have been telling all of our friends about them as well. Give this place a try, you will...

Run, don't walk to Foodies! Situated in an unassuming plaza near Lynnhaven, it's truly a hidden gem and word needs to get out! A few girlfriends and I took a cooking class (they offer classes for 4-6 individuals) and opted for one of the pre-fixed autumn inspired menus. I cannot say enough good things about the head chef and owner, Patrick, who encouraged us to have fun and be creative while sharing tips, tricks, and techniques from his culinary training. His assistant Mason was also fantastic and guided us through the preparation and plating of a multi-course meal.

The atmosphere at Foodies was cozy and comfortable, and we enjoyed dinner in their private dining area accompanied by some wine from nearby Virginia Beach winery.

Beyond the cooking classes, the market features a selection of prepared foods and made-to-order sandwiches, all with a focus on quality, nutrition, and sourcing locally. Patrick is committed to supporting the community and delivering the freshest, most flavorful food to everyone.

They also offer catering and private dinners. We will...
