    Virginia’s on King has the best southern food I have ever eaten outside of home and my Grandma’s cooking. I had the vegetable plate and everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection. A gentleman at the table next to me ordered the fried chicken and it looked like it was fried in my Grandma’s kitchen. When his server asked how he liked it he responded with “oh my God. Mmm mmmm mmm”. Needless to say, I will try the chicken next time. The atmosphere, service & price were equally as good as the food. If you’re looking for excellent southern comfort food, give Virginia’s a try.

    We were looking forward to the dinner tonight. Menu looked good. We entered and the place looked nice. But there was a chemical smell like varnish or paint thinner. The host was nice and said there had been some painting work earlier in the day. It smelled bad to us and unappetizing so unfortunately we decided to leave. Perhaps we will return another time. Seems like a good place usually

    We just left and all we can say is WOW! It was great. Nice relaxed atmosphere, excellent and friendly service, great cocktails, and delicious food. We started with pimento cheese as an appetizer, then we had fried chicken and crab cakes. It was all amazing, including the sides, and it was so plentiful. We had enough for another complete meal for two! If I lived closer, they’d know my name because I’d come back so often. Outstanding!
