    Service was great. We were seated right away and wait staff was very friendly. Problem: food was mediocre…with one of us not eating the dinner at all. Serving size is horrendous — much too large. Overall we would not go back nor recommend.

    Went to dinner celebrate Mother's Day. We had fried green tomatoes & fried pickled okra for appetizers. Both were good. However I cannot say that about our entrees. I had the Meatloaf (mashed potatoes & collards). Wife had the dinner special Country Fried Steak w/ Peppered Gravy (mashed potatoes & seasonal veggies). My meatloaf was very salty. My wife country fried steak was greasy & had a lot of fat on it. It was literally a battered steak piece, not a cubed steak! Seasonal veggies were mushy. Peppered Gravy was way salty. Ordered a side of Mac and Cheese which came over baked & greasy. Manager asked how we liked the meal, told her the steak was full of fat & her reply was "yeah we hear that a lot". WTF??? Then don't offer it as a dinner special!!! We won't be back again & I wouldn't recommend.

    This was our first visit to Virginia’s. We both ordered the seafood platter which was very good. The Tartar Sauce was pretty tasteless. However, the fried fish, shrimp and crabcake were very good. I ordered Lima beans and rice which was something different. While I liked it, it did lack some much needed seasoning. The collards were very tender and tasty. We will definitely go back and try some other menu items.
