    Was so good first day, when back second day and had the same meal. Very good. Left a long-lasting, good feeling that only really good food, well-prepared can give. Great help with a reservation that needed to be changed, and Open Table worked well for someone not really computer savvy.

    We love Virginia’s on King for weekend breakfasts. The service is always great and the food is consistent. This visit my omelette was over cooked, but we didn’t have time to have it made again so we just chalked it up as an unusual occurrence. We will be back because we love it there!

    We loved the food - unique takes on Southern fare. Had the Fried green tomato Benedict and the pimento cheese BLT. Probably the best bacon I ever had. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quick service and right level of attention. Very accommodating for special requests. Highly recommend.

    Intimate setting, exposed brick wall; service was attentive and knowledgeable. I went for restaurant week with friends - we all enjoyed our food! I had the egg, cheese, bacon quesadilla and toppings with the included mimosa. Good timing for wait of food and drink. Quick service! Would definitely come here again!

    Service was excellent! Our server was energetic and attentive. The food was ok, just ok. We ordered fish and grits, the flounder was good, the grits and tomatoes were average. The portion was enough for two to share after we’d had drinks and appetizers at another restaurant earlier.

    I gave the service 5 stars because our server was amazing and very sweet. But being completely honest, the food was not good at all and the server was kind enough to take care of one of the meals. Maybe it was just an off night, but we just did not enjoy it. Might be a cute spot to sit at the bar and enjoy cocktails though.

    We were in town celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. Read the reviews on Virginia’s on King and decided to try it out. Our waiter Robby was very pleasant and welcoming. The food was great - wings, she-crab soup, seafood combo with Mac n cheese and collards, garlic Parmesan ribeye with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. We ate well and brought enough home for dinner tomorrow. Robby took a pic for us and offered dessert on the house to help us celebrate our anniversary. Very nice touch! We def recommend and will be back!

    Virginia’s was good, nothing special. The fried foods were overly fried and while this is a southern restaurant and we were expecting fried foods, it would be nice to have more non-fried southern food options. Everything we had was good, but not awesome. We might go back and try something else on the menu.

    We had dinner Saturday night. Order the Tomato pie. It is one small slice for $10. It was microwaved an flat as a pancake. Don’t order it not worth it. Had the fried chicken. It was ok, very hot. Fried chick is fried chicken. I’d go back and try something else.

    Everything was good at first until it took approximately 45 minutes to get our food. When we finally got our food our salad had a hair in it and the burger we ordered was cold and the bun was charred to a crisp. Otherwise the omelet and Lima beans we ordered was good. Coffee was good too.

    I love Virginia's. It's what's great about the South. If I were to have a last meal on earth......it would be Virginia's. The eggs Benedict with country ham is fabulous, the deviled eggs are perfect and the she crab soup...... there's no comparison. I travel to Charleston annually, Virginia's is my last stop before returning home. If I could reproduce this restaurant...... I'd be a millionaire.
