Wonderful BLT with fried green tomato and chipolte mayo.. we prefer our traditional bbq but it was a must to at least try the Charleston bbq with mustard based sauce

Saturday brunch is fantastic with bottomless mimosas. The French toast is excellent! If you want a more "old southern" feel, ask to sit upstairs for a quieter environment!

Wow, great southern food. Fried green tomatoes, she crab soup, and shrimp and grits were all excellent! Five stars!

What went wrong?· Brunch reservation wasn't ready for our group· 10:30am and out of fried chicken· Took 1hr to get food · Several other tables came in after us but ate before us

Disappointed by the Mac and cheese. Shrimp and grits and she crab soup are awesome.

Average... Mac & Cheese was okay, not the "best ever" as someone else posted. Grilled cheese was great, tomato soup was like marinara... Mimosas were plentiful :) overall average food experience

Try the shrimp & grits ... AMAZING! Oh and definitely make sure Shannon is your waitress! She's awesome! :)

A must get is the she crab soup!! So yummy!!!
Meredith WrightOctober 18, 2012
Whatever you do, Do NOT get the Chicken and Dumplins! They are nothing like your grandmama used to make. Everything else is great but they missed the mark on this dish. Sad.

She crab soup - a must have!

Virginia's is great deal

Don't miss the pecan pie
Angela PilsonMarch 10, 2013
Waiting an hour for our food and still nothing. Server doesn't come check on us, didn't introduce herself, barely explains or apologizes for the extended wait. Takes her time getting us a box. Not ok.
Anna CreechNovember 8, 2012
A reservation does not guarantee a seat here.
Alexis JohnsonMay 30, 2012
