    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.

    We had a very good meal. Everything was served promptly and was hot and tasty. Our table had the fried chicken (very good), tomato pie (over the top), limas and rice, onion casserole, she crab soup, cornbread and peach cobbler for dessert. Our server was excellent! He was friendly, efficient and made us feel at home. The restaurant is attractive and the noise level was not bad for a full house.

    We both had salads. Granted, they were huge, but waaay too much iceberg lettuce - yuck.

    Be sure and try the fried green tomatoes and the fried okra - the fried okra was some of the best we’ve had!

    We were late to the reservation but the manager welcomed us and sat us. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. We had only been here for brunch a while back but the dinner was awesome.
