   I recently dined at Virgil’s Gullah and, while the food remains consistently amazing and true to the rich culinary tradition they honor, I feel compelled to share some honest feedback about the overall experience. We arrived on time for our reservation, yet still had to wait over an hour to receive our food. In today’s economy, I completely understand the challenges of staffing, but when guests make reservations, there is a reasonable expectation that service will be more efficient. Having a reservation should minimize wait times, not extend them. Additionally, as patrons, it feels a bit disheartening to be immediately given a full disclosure upon seating about having only two hours to dine, the limitations on substitutions, and the automatic 20% gratuity. It sets an almost transactional tone rather than a welcoming one. Substituting sides should feel like a part of hospitality, not something akin to ordering at a fast-food restaurant. And while I understand and respect automatic gratuity policies, I can’t help but notice this practice seems far more common at Black-owned establishments, and it can leave an unintended impression if not handled delicately. Despite all of this, the food truly was outstanding—just as it always is. The flavors, the authenticity, the creativity—everything on the plate was excellent. But each time I dine here, I’m reminded why I don’t visit as often as I’d like: the service experience unfortunately doesn’t match the quality of the food. I’m not writing this to tear down Virgil’s or to discourage others from visiting. I’m writing because I believe in the power of constructive feedback. I want to see Virgil’s thrive, especially in a competitive market like Atlanta. Great food paired with exceptional service could elevate Virgil’s to even greater heights and create an experience that keeps guests returning more frequently and enthusiastically. I truly hope management and ownership continue to invest in refining the service model. Settin

   This was our visit to Virgil’s. We had a reservation for 6 people. My rating is based on details that matter to me when dining out e.g. sticky & worn menus, smudgy glasses, etc. About the food - presentation was good, food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t necessarily anything we would return for. Ambience was good, music was on point though. Overall Virgil’s fell a little short for my preference.

   What a fantastic experience we had at Virgil’s…never had the honor of trying gullah cuisine until now…goodness it was good. 👍 My partner and I elected to order a series of starters rather than a dinner…it clearly gave us a wide selection of their cuisine. So, a sampler platter, fried oysters (orgasmic!), okra gumbo and collard greens came to us piping hot. Plenty of food for two. Gotta say that everything was over the top good…even the collard greens…although historically not my cuppa tea…were great! Oh, their cocktails were to die for…try the Yella Boi…fantastic. Service was wonderful too…kudos to Montel our server.👍 This is authentic soul food in an authentic setting. Highly recommend for sure!

   So freaking good! Had the "Plattuh" with catfish. Next time I'll try the flounder. They forgot about me for awhile, but well worth it!

   The servers were very nice. The music and the atmosphere were good. I expected the food to be much better. The best part of the food for me was the chicken and cornbread. The sweet potatoes were not completely cooked, the greens were salty, the macaroni and cheese was overcooked. The macaroni look so bad that our server didn’t was to serve it. Some of my party complained, but I was just grateful that we were together celebrating my birthday. I think they were short handed. We didn’t have to wait long. I will try again.

    The server we had was pleasant and accommodating. The food was good,but could have been better only because it came out luke warm. I got the salmon dish. The flavor was there but it was luke warm. I enjoy the bussin muffins.
