Blackdog Catering

Anybody that knows me knows how much I love Southern California Mexican food. This is the first place in Virginia that I have found crispy fish Baja style tacos. The fish was crispy and plentiful served on just a little bit of lettuce on a nice fresh warm tortilla the taste was fantastic. My wife opted for a sandwich that was piled so high with meat and so tasty with a homemade mustard it makes you want to smack your mama. They also delivered a cake while we were having lunch that looked amazing. Miss it at your peril.

Ohhhhh my goodness. I ADORE Blackdog. And to clarify, yes, there is a little café; it’s not just catering.
My fave is their grilled cheese sandwich; delicious, fresh baked bread, tons of gooey melty cheese, tomato, and «cajun dust» to give it a little interest. I usually add bacon, avocado, or both…
They roast their own meats (ham… turkey… pork…) and bake the most AMAZING bread fresh daily. Very high quality stuff, y’all.
Their salads are practically bursting out of the containers they are so large. Always fresh, always full of lots of interesting ingredients.
They always have wonderful weekly specials; (EDIT) they post them on facebook, but we can’t get to it from our work computers, so it’d be nice if they were also posted to their website.
I will say… I have a couple things that are not perfect: because they keep a small staff, it’s hard to get hold of them on the phone to place an order (in our experience), because everything is so fresh and high quality, the price is a little higher than I’d normally like to pay for lunch — BUT that said, you get what you pay for!!! Just makes it more of a splurge than an everyday option. As for their sides, I’m not a huge fan of the three-​potato salad. Lots of other great choices though! And lastly — and this is super nitpicky — the big huge couch they have in the café smells like a wet dog… I always forget until I sit on it. I LOVE dogs… but I don’t want to smell like one when I go back to work… so I just stand and wait for my food.
However — bottom line — AMAZING food!!!

This place is so freaking good! I’ve eaten here 4 times while here in Norfolk. Everything I’ve had has been fresh nothing pre-​made. The staff is so nice.

I was training at a close by facility center and I heard people talking about this place. So I made a point to try it out for lunch the next day since I’m hardly in this area.
The place is welcoming, almost like you stepped into someone’s living room. When you first walk in there is this big COMFORTABLE sectional couch with a TV. In the back there’s a little bar table, also a longer table for a larger crowd. Great customer service, she knew the employees that worked in the building on first name basis and greeted everyone with a smile!
They had specials of the week so, I opted for their BLT with Avocado on homemade french bread. After I ordered, I thought to myself why did I ordered bread that can be possibly hard. Oh well, I’ll see how it goes.
By the time my coworker and I went around the corner to wash our hands our food was ready. Boiiii… my BLT was a huge sandwich with tons of bacon! The bread was fresh and soft and the whole sandwich was just pure perfection! Oh I had a spicy kale salad as my side and that too was just so awesome! The BLT sandwich isn’t your «make at home BLT» it was much more special than that!
Listen up people, if you are in the area check it out! I can vouch for the BLT!

So good! Love that their so close to my job. The food is delicious especially their grilled cheese, and the service is impeccable. Everything made to order.

I have yet to have a bad meal! I have nothing bad to say about this hidden gem. Great food friendly service laid back atmosphere. I only wish they had more seating. They even make the bread fresh!

Not sure why no one reviewed them yet, but this place serves the best/​most delicious and healthy food in Norfolk! The café side open for lunch only, they have limited seating inside their store, so the best bet is to order to go, but there is room to sit and wait while your food is prepared. Everything on the menu is made in house, and made to order. I can not recommend anything specific since the entire menu is so delicious, however the bean burger is my favorite! Make sure you top it off with their home made cookie, it is so worth it!
