Yorkies VB — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

A bit of a tardy review after checking out Yorkie's VB soon after opening Fall of 2024. After three visits I can weigh in and proudly provide a full 5 star rating.

The location is on the edge of the Vibe District by the interstate 264 exit. You can see signage before the turn. They offer their own parking that seems adequate. The cinder block building exterior that was previously a commercial business looks great!

The owner Kip Poole has been around the culinary block in Hampton Roads for years. It's a dream come true to finally be his own boss and open an authentic deli shop at the beach. I'm happy for him and staff to have their new home in the Vibe.

The interior is open from top to bottom. Concrete floors and views of the ceiling provide a cool atmosphere. There is a small event, conference room space that closes off to the public. Another area makes you feel you're in a 70's living room. Most of the dining area is tables and chairs with a few seats at the bar to watch the sandwich making operation. Everything was spic and span.

Yorkies offers grab & go sandwiches and drinks. If lucky enough you may score on their limited bottles of Gin & Juice. A deli counter is available for customers to get meats and cheese, but the variety was weak on my visits. Unique merchandise is also offered with some branded items.

Restrooms are on the far left after entering. I found them spacious, clean and offered the needed supplies.

Counter service was immediate friendly and helpful each visit. Hand menus and a special board will direct customers to options. They do not offer fountain soda. Everything is bottle including beer and wine. Self serve tap water with ice is available.

I got three different sandwiches. BLT, cheesesteak and a chopped cheese special that were for dine in. Sides were macaroni and slaw. The large sandwiches come with a pickle spear. All baskets were delivered to the table. Although it is a fast casual set up I received a follow up from one staff and the owner himself.

Out of the three my favorite was the steak and cheese special. I wanted to love the cheesesteak more, but the grease bled through the second half of the bread making it soggy. Taste was still there and their sesame seed hoagie was the bomb! The sides are good, but underwhelming in size.

I think they are easing into a new business well. They're growing they're figuring things out and they're improving. I have no doubt that they will just keep getting better and better. 4.5...

I was not going to place a review, because I assumed my experience here was an isolated incident. So I came to this site to see if it was isolated. WOW after reading so many other reviews with the same problems, I now realized it was not isolated at all.

THE ISSUES… myself and two friends walked into Yorkies at 11:33am hoping to beat the rush and we were fourth in line to order…. We did not place our order until 12:02pm. After placing our order, the first of three sandwiches came out at 12:39pm with my buddies coming out at 12:45pm. (How do I know the exact times, because I glanced at my watch walking in and with so much time waiting, I started to keep track). Everyone around us were voicing the same concerns, the delays were simply unacceptable. Since we sat at the bar, I overheard the cashier express her concerns about long wait times to another staff member, but didn’t tell those ordering, they just continue to accept orders, and not advising the customers that they were backed up

Now the food was very good, the place had a neat atmosphere with that “Starbuck” vibe of all the beautiful people. For a second, I thought I was in an episode of “Friends”. I can tell you, their Wi-Fi is outstanding, we watched ESPN while waiting. Let me be clear…. I had no place to go and in no rush at all, but so many were and I really did feel sorry for those who were on their lunch break because none of them made it, and a few gave up and walked out.

So, if you have an unlimited amount of spare time on your hands, and willing to sit around for a while waiting for a very good deli sandwich, this...

If you’re looking for the best new sandwich spot in Virginia Beach, look no further than Yorkies VB! This place is an absolute gem, delivering incredible flavors and high-quality ingredients in every bite. Whether you’re a sandwich connoisseur or just looking for your next go-to lunch spot, Yorkies VB is where you need to be.

We tried the Chopped Cheese, and let me tell you—it was phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned beef, gooey cheese, and crisp, fresh toppings all packed into a toasted sesame bun. It’s exactly what a great chopped cheese should be. But the Nile sandwich? That one was next level. Every bite was a perfect balance of textures and flavors, making it an instant favorite.

And we can’t talk about Yorkies without mentioning their Cucumber & Tomato sandwich—a total standout. Refreshing, flavorful, and proof that even the simplest ingredients can shine when done right.

The only small critique? The sides were a little on the smaller side. But honestly, when the sandwiches are this good, it’s easy to overlook.

One thing’s for sure—this won’t be our last visit. We’ll be back many times over the summer, ready to work our way through the entire menu. If you haven’t tried Yorkies VB yet, you’re...
