“Food was delicous, I got the smoked wings with a side of collard greens. Some of the best wings I have had. I hate big wings and I hate soggy wings. These wings were normal sized and the skin was super crispy with a lot of seasoning on them. When I get them again I will get extra spicy ranch on the side because it was just so yummy.“

“Ordered the deep dish pizza yesterday. I’m from Chicago so I was expecting to be disappointed somewhat. Was I ever wrong! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you a million times over for bringing a bit of my hometown to RVA! Can’t wait for a nice thin crust or maybe a beef - wet. If you’re from Chi you know what that is… Again, thank you.👍🏻🤗“

“Menu choice was consistent as in past visits, however this visit was a bit disappointing overall. Slipping and falling while turning the corner to the restrooms was not how I expected to end the visit. While attempting to get up, noticed entirely too much water left on the floor (same as in restroom), and NO "wet floor" signage placed. I alerted a staff member of what happened and that signage needs to be up. Staff needs to ensure to NOT leave excessive water when mopping and throw up signs.“

“My friends and I had a fantastic time indulging in multiple rounds of Lemon Drop Martinis, along with delicious appetizers like cornbread and wings, followed by a delightful dinner. Our server was exceptional, making the evening even more special as we celebrated my friend's birthday. To our surprise, they treated my friend to a complimentary glass of Prosecco adorned with a birthday candle. We couldn't resist sharing our entrees, which included smoked brisket meatballs, pan-roasted shrimp, and fried catfish, all of which were incredibly tasty. The portions were generous enough for sharing, and the fried catfish was simply the best we've ever tasted, prompting us to order some to take home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a cozy evening with friends or family!“

“What a spectacular find! We are out of towners and made a reservation about a week in advance so it was easy to get a spot and we were seated right away. The food is next level and so are the drinks. We shared a tomato and steak tartare for appetizer that was 10/10. I had the Beef Swellington and my wife had the lamb with dumplings. Both were 11/10. Dessert was unbelievable too. The only 'but' is that, being new to the area, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy and we had to park a couple of blocks away. It's ignorant bias, I'm sure, and we felt perfectly safe. It's just that it did not feel like it was on a super curated touristy area. We'll be back for sure. Many times.“

I was quite happy in my own company after long day at work watching the Basketball on big screen.“

“WOW WOW WOW. I have stumbled upon the BEST barbecue I have ever had. I enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, Christmas beans, and smash & cheese (5 cheese) macaroni and cheese. Princess enjoyed the brisket. The meats were smoked to perfection. The sides were out of this world. The relish and sauces were superb. For my birthday they gave me a cupcake and hot off the smoker pork belly. The atmosphere was casual and relaxing. Soul music was playing as me enjoyed my birthday lunch. The staff was outstanding ... so friendly. I felt like I was eating with family. This is now my go to place for barbecue. Give it a try ... you will not be disappointed.“

They were so good, almost like a she-crab bisque flavor gravy-absolutely wonderful. I ordered the chicken biscuit, was also wonderful, the hot honey with the fresh homemade Bisquit was so flavorful. No wait to be seated, the waitstaff was very friendly. Definitely recommend and definitely will go back!“

“TJ’s is awesome - we went here for breakfast twice during our hotel stay. The food is phenomenal and the service truly outstanding. The inside area feels a bit dark as there isn’t a lot of windows, but it probably adds to the charm. The one complaint I had was that the chef was stingy on the yogurt & granola bowl. The fruit and granola were delicious but there was barely any yogurt in the dish, and for $14 I would expect to get more value. The second day I got the same thing but asked for extra yogurt and it was the perfect amount. I was happy I didn’t get charged for asking for extra yogurt as well.“
