Came here for dinner with my wife, it was a couple hours before a UVA home bball game so there were a lot of people getting dinner before walking to the stadium. They had some great happy hour deals - beer, cocktails, and apps. The food we got was actually very good. I got the meatloaf sandwich, which I would get again. The fries are very well seasoned and delicious. The Nashville hot chicken wing appetizer we got was very good as well. Not sure why there are some very low reviews,...

Food was good, but a little overpriced. Super convenient location to all the shops, Dennis was a great server, and the shrimp and grits were on point. That’s not grease, it’s cajun butter. The skillet mac and cheese starter was straight fire!

We had a wonderful dinner! We were traveling and stopped here to split the drive, and we’re so glad we did. The Nashville Hot Tenders as an appetizer were juicy and full of flavor; the main dishes (we had pasta, steak, and vegetarian) were perfectly portioned and all were really flavorful. Mark, our server, attended to all our needs, service was efficient and courteous. We will definitely be back next to we pass through C’Ville.
