ViolaJames Restaurant and Lounge

My family and I had the opportunity to visit Viola James Restaurant and Lounge and lasts just say we will be going back . Food was great service was excellent. I highly recommend It!!!

I had the pleasure of dining in at Viola, James restaurant and lounge. While traveling the I-95 corridor, I reached exit 8 right off the exit that was just restaurant called Viola James. I decided to stop there. I was blown away with the food and services provided. I learned soon after that the restaurant was fairly new. I had the steak, macaroni and cheese and a salad. When I tell you, I will surely be back. It’d be an understatement if you’re in the Emporia skippers Greensville, Virginia area. I highly recommend this place. It’s minority owned as well. This hidden treat will have you making multiple stops if you’re in the area. The atmosphere was amazing as well

if you don't stop to eat, you are missing out. we were just passing through but was treated to great burgers, chicken sandwiches and awesome mac and cheese. convenient off of 95. customer service was phenomenal as well. don't let this gem pass you by.

I'm so glad I happened upon this lovely restaurant today. Customer service is very important to me & theirs is amazing. Our waitress was a sweetheart and the owner was invested in our experience. We went in shortly after opening. The food was served nice and hot. I ordered fried fish, cabbage & yams. The fish was seasoned & fried to perfection. The yams were good, a little more heavily seasoned than I prefer but still good. I was not a fan of the cabbage. It had a very strong smoky flavor and was a little dry. When the owner came by the table and asked how the food was, I expressed my concerns about the cabbage. She offered me an alternate side & I chose mac & cheese. The mac tasted like it came from a a Big Mama's kitchen...10/10! My sister ordered an extra side of mac to go home. I was surprised when the owner returned with another side of cabbage, more juicy & less smoky that the first. It was much better. My sister ordered fried chicken wings, mac & yams. The chicken was seasoned & fried well. I ate most of my sister's chicken skin because she doesn't eat it. She wasn't a fan of the chicken legs because they were so huge. We both plan to return & try more items. They also have a small banquet style room to accommodate parties. I wish this new business the very best.
