Soul Food Restaurants near Dale City, VA

“Ordered 5 meals EVERY THING was delicious“

“I had the large curry goat with some rice and peas, mac and cheese, collard greens, and some of their new salmon nuggets and everything was SO good! Everything was very well seasoned, especially for the main dish. The salmon nuggets are a hit for me. The jerk sauce and the tartar sauce were just icing on the cake. Will definitely be coming back again for more. 10/10“

“I visited today for the first time. I assume this is a "Champ's Chicken" franchise location inside a local gas station, given the name Charlie Bob's not being on the packaging for the food or any of the products... As such, this should be the same quality of food you'd expect at any of the Champ's Chicken locations. I've never had it before, so this was an adventure for me...

The fuel cost at the location was high for the area. When I visited, it was $3.19, while a station just down the road was $3.03.

The food I ordered from Champs Chicken was the 4 pc fried fish (catfish) special, for $15. For $15 I had expected it would come as a meal, but nope - it was 4 pieces of fish in a box. The fish tasted alright, but was extremely salty, which is a shock to me because I am one of those family members which everyone else knows for dumping salting on nearly everything, and is the first one to reach for the salt shaker when eating out anywhere... This fish had the traditional crispy crunchy breadcrumb batter, with a nice flaky hot interior. The food was pretty good, but probably not worth the $15 - Maybe $9.99-11.99, since it came with no drink and no sides. The food was ready pretty fast. The staff were friendly and polite.

Since this is essentially a franchise restaurant inside another location, what they have you do is this: They write down your order, they give you the ticket, you walk over to the gas station clerk counter, you hand them the ticket, they ring you up and mark it paid, you take the ticket back over to the Champs counter and hand it back when you get your food. An interesting way to do it for sure, but I can see why they do it like that.

Parking: 4 spots at the pumps. 4-7 spots for cars in front.“

“I order food last week from the restaurant. I forgot her name was but she’s so sweet and professional when she took my order . She suggested to get what is good from the menu . I ordered fried fish and fish combo . My mom and my sister still taking about to get them more . Thank you and I will definitely comeback soon .“

“I have been going here for years! Love the food and the owner is an amazingly kind guy who treats every customer with respect and professionalism. Did I mention the food is amazing! I have eaten everything on the menu and never dissatisfied. Def try the Cassava leaf with goat meat or the Egusi stew with banku! And all soups are delicious. The food can be definitely be considered comfort food.“
