I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken poblano pot pie. The cornbread is also wonderful. I will happily return. The Deviled Eggs my friend ordered also looked delicious.

A small gem in cville! The bread pudding is to die for and I never leave google reviews but the food at this place is so tasty and well seasoned it’s insane. I recommend the crispy Brussels sprouts as an app and obviously the bread pudding. Love this little place!

Parking is limited but you can park on the street or in the business parking across from the diner. Unpretentious, Cheers-like diner. They have booths and tables to choose from. It is a small place with a raised platform for the various activities there like karaoke. I imagine it could be pretty loud. We arrived around 5 pm on a Tuesday in January. There were only a couple tables taken. The service wasn’t the fastest … or slowest. The wait staff was friendly enough but not overly chatty. Ding – they only serve wine by the glass, and it’s not very good wine. In this bustling wine region of Charlottesville, they offer no local wines. The menu is fairly small but there are enough options to please just about anyone. My spouse and I shared the Farmhouse wedge salad and the meatloaf. And that was a good thing as the servings are huge. We couldn’t even finish our split meal. The wedge salad was a variation of the norm. It had corn and black bean salsa, tomatoes, red onions, blue cheese crumbles and ranch dressing. I’m a die-hard wedge salad eater so I prefer the original, but this salad was still good. The meatloaf came with mashed potatoes which were just ok because they were kind of dry. However, with enough of the tasty gravy, we made do. The brussels sprouts were roasted and tasted very good. They were my favorite. The meatloaf was pretty good. The prices are very decent especially considering the size of the servings. We would return.Parking: We found parking on the street

Ive been here twice so far with plans for more visits. The meatloaf was very good and huge. Even if you are hungry, you still might take some home. I really enjoyed it. And the fish tacos were terrific too.Both times I was here with a large group and the service was excellent each time. And they have great music. Love this spot.

Visiting Holly's is like doing the time warp to a glorious past. Wonderful comfort food, served with class. Fried bologna sandwich for dinner? Why the heck not?! Amazing cocktails. Wonderful people. All at a fair price. We absolutely love this place!
