“Went to restaurant on my son birthday Friday morning around 11 the food was delicious well seasoned definitely soul food cooking was my first time there & surely will not be my last. Keep the good food taste the love in it ?“

“Food was Delicious and very well priced!!“

“Don't put powdered sugar on your pancakes unless you're going to advertise it. When somebody tells you they can't have powdered sugar on their pancakes don't try to scrape it off and flip them upside down and hand them back. Get another Chef because the cook and the kitchen today was rude and did not care about any of the people that were there. Took forever to get food and when it did come everything except for the bacon and the potatoes was inedible. Listened to other people in the restaurant return food and listen to the chef give lip about it and say it was not his problem. Waitress was pleasant, she even tried to tell the cook that he couldn't scrape powdered sugar off the pancake but he did it anyway, only downside about her was that she was concerned about her phone than anything else. Will never return again. I should have paid attention that the reviews on this page are two years or more old. definitely not the place that was reviewed previously. Don't know what's happened but it's not good.“

“Great food and great people“

“Absolutely delicious food. The blend of all the different flavors was heavenly. I have celiac and love how I didn’t have to worry about contamination or have to compromise on food quality. The staff was very friendly. My friend brought me here for my birthday, and I’m So grateful. I will be returning and recommending this place.“

“My daughter brought me for a birthday brunch surprise. This was my first time here. I love the atmosphere, nice music played, relevant program on TV. The food and drinks were reasonably priced.

“The BBQ sandwich was very good. They did notofffer Brunswick stew but will in the Fall. I loved it. I cant wait to go back !!“

“We love Pollard’s at London Bridge Shopping Center, they are a staple in our monthly eating out rotation! Delicious fried chicken that is always hot and fresh which does require a small wait but never long. All of the sides are awesome that I’ve tried so far, potato salad, macaroni salad, mixed greens, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw. The puffs that come with the chicken meals are delicious and the perfect sweet compliment with the honey to the savory food. Their hot sauce for their condiments is awesome too! Also shout out to them because we called them when my husband forgot to grab a gallon of sweet tea that we ordered with our meal and they refunded it to my card since my husband forgot it! Best chicken in Virginia Beach, the 757, and definitely one of the best in Virginia, my comfort food!“

“Really like this location and it is probably only because I love when I get out of class I can stop here on the way home. When Tina is manager I can always depend on quick and courteous customer service. She always makes sure my fries and biscuit is super fresh. And being that I'm a struggling college student she always keeps me abreast of any current promotions or deals. That says to be she's willing to go the extra mile for her customers. Food always hot and always service with genuine kindness. If you ever choose this restaurant ask for Tina, she'll take care of you!!“

“Always (all ways) a great place to eat and shop.“

“We visited this restaurant primarily for their delicious desserts. They have a scrumptious coconut cake. I would advise not to visit an hour before closing as they secure the back area and they are stern about it. We had an active toddler that was walking around as we waited and a staff member approached us to remind us it was closed. We were not sitting, but the toddler neede to walk around a bit. This establishment is not kid friendly, as noted by a single high chair that needed to be wiped down.
The chicken is nice and crispy and the puffs are fluffy.
Stop by if you ever need to order a full cake they have been able to do this for me before.“
