“El Zocalo has been a favorite restaurant destination for my family. I couldn’t even tell you the amount of times we have visited, haha! They have fantastic food and staff! This place is MUCH better than the big brand franchise options.”
“Excellent service. The kids had a blast and the staff was very nice to the whole soccer team. A+Kid-friendliness: The staff was amazing accommodating and pleasing all 10 kids with their specific requests. A+++”
“The parilla (grilled steak) arepa is incredible. Juicy, tender chunks of steak cooked to perfection topped with avocado, cheese, and garlic cilantro sauce.The burger which comes with a piece of grilled chicken and ham on top of a beef patty may sound weird but I promise you it is worth trying. The burger is juicy and the chicken and ham add even more flavor and make this burger one of a kind.The place is easy to pass at night if you don't know what to look for.You'll notice a white building with strings of lights when driving on Mountain road.Staff super friendly as well. Great outdoor seating area.”
“Amazing place to eat we found by chance while traveling. You are missing out if you don’t stop here for a meal! Food is delicious and they even have a homemade hot sauce buffet. ❤️”
“Best broth in town. My husband is a pho lover and frequents different Vietnamese places . Says this is his favorite. Went today and have to agree. Both my kids get pho and fried rice. ”
“Stopped in for lunch. It was very busy as the hostess was dealing with two large groups. She apologized repeatedly. I understood and was patient (I'm never in a rush to rush others). I ordered the mini burger, chicken tenders and fries for my two children. My wife had the hangover burger with a lemon drop martini. I had the fried fish Gripper (it was huge). The flavor and crust was perfect. They have a great beer selection. There were no IPA's on tap so I had the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat. Our server, Taylor, was amazing and attended to every requests quickly. Thank you for being awesome!”
“Amazing! I got the Friday special of turkey wings in gravy, yummy! The sides were also tasty-collards, green beans, cabbage, Mac & cheese, spoon bread, and the okra...we were stuffed and couldn't stop eating! (Other people got the porkchops that just fell off the bone, seafood platter, and sides with rice) I can't believe I didn't go before, but I sure will be back again and again. The staff was incredibly friendly, too!”
“Went here for a work lunch. The atmosphere was fantastic. Smooth lunch crowd with surrounding customers who were pleasant and looked like they were enjoying their time. The gyro lamb Philly sandwich was a culinary treat. First time I had one. Our waitress was on top of things while at the same time staying on point as she knew it was a work lunch for 4. She got us in. She got us fed. She kept our waters filled. She was quick about coming with a to-go tray cuz trust me, their serving size for lunch is no joke. You're getting a full plate for your money.”
“Very friendly staff.This food truck has great breakfast. We tried the breakfast burrito, pancakes, and veggie omelet. All three were great.Pancakes were super fluffy. Scrambled eggs and omelet were not overcooked. The burrito has A LOT of flavor, ask for less salsa and hot sauce if you like things on the lighter side.”
“Super cute, quaint creamery and gift shop with unique, snarky, artsy gifts. Stopped in for a cone and was pleasantly surprised. The attendant was super friendly and gave us samples of several of the unique flavors. If I lived in the area I would come back here for Xmas stocking stuffer shopping!Parking: Lots of spaces. Shares with several businesses. Wasn’t crowded at all.Kid-friendliness: Kids would love it here!”
“Great customer service. The food came out hot and fast. The hush puppies were good. The pulled chicken was bland (not smoked or grilled long enough, maybe idk). The chicken was tender and just needed some flavor. They have a variety of bbq sauces on the table, but they all tasted the same to me. I also tried the corn pudding since that is a side you don't usually see, and it's one of my favorites, but it was like a fluffy custard, not the usual sweet and creamy taste when home made. I substituted that side for fries, and they were a better choice. I will go back to try the wings.”
“What a wonderful experience! The staff were absolutely lovely. Due to some health issues, I'm unable to have caffeine right now. The staff were extremely validating, and named what they had available - they have decaf espresso here! They made extra care to ensure that the decaf latte I ordered was separate from the caffeinated latte my mom ordered. The drink is amazing - they make their vanilla syrup in-house. It's a lovely, balanced drink. Beautiful coffee shop, great music and vibes, and attentive and kind staff. Will return again, one of my favorite coffee shops I've been to in VA! ☕Dietary restrictions: They were attentive to ensure that my decaf drink was separate from caffeinated drinks.”
“Gelati Celesti is a great little spot to grab some ice cream. It is located in a shopping center with plenty of available parking. The shop is clean and bright with minimalistic decor. There are tables to sit and eat both indoors and outdoors. It isn't a huge shop but does not feel cramped at all; it is wheelchair accessible. They have a number of regular flavors along with several rotating special flavors. Tonight, I tried a special flavor "cherry chip amaretto." The amaretto flavor didn't come through very much, but the cherry flavor was delicious. Not too sweet or overpowering. The chunks of cherry and the chocolate chips gave it a unique texture. The employees are always friendly and attentive, and the ordering process goes smoothly. You are allowed to sample a spoonful of the flavors before you order to make sure you like it, since a lot of the flavors are very unique.”
“Decided to try something new, I'm glad I did. Definitely an interesting twist on Pizza, I described it as a gourmet pizza with Middle Eastern flavors, very high-quality ingredients and great flavor. Give it a try”
“The sweetie roll cannot be beat! Spider roll, although fried was very light and clean tasting. Miso soup is one of the best in RVA. Service is always friendly and the chef quite a character whether sitting close or not.If you sit at the bar and order stuff one at a time. He figures out what you like, or dislike, and sometimes will make something special just fir you!Parking: Easy”
“If you like a small town feel in your dining, then this is your place. It has a typical diner menu, but the food was very tasty. The wait staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable.”
“Wait staff was excellent. They were available when needed, but not overbearing and checking in too often. Food was out 10 mins after ordering, tasted great. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed”
“So tasty and fresh, perfectly cooked chicken with great flavors and amazing sauces, large delicious sides, you won't leave hungry. Place smells so good and tastes even better. Had the Tres Leches cake to top it off and what a treat!”
“Awesome service & food. The apple pie milkshake was soooo good. The Rueben sandwich was delicious.The store has so many specialty products such as Amish popcorn, nuts, jams/jelly, tea, coffee, and salsa. We will definitely be back!”
“The food here is fantastic, I come here about every 4 to 5 weeks when I'm in town and I love this place, people are friendly and the service is great. Pasta and pizza here are great options and they pair great with either a cold beer or a wine. I definitely recommend this place 10/10 friendly faces and fantastic ”
“Fast service. We like our pizza well done and they made it perfect. We also ordered 20 hot wings, the wing could have been cooked more, maybe I should have asked for well done... ”
“Seafood lovers MUST!!! I haven’t visited Ashland in over 30 years and I found this absolute jewel of a restaurant.
