The falafel wrap yielded a fairly tubular creation; adding hummus made it a bit messy as drippage would occur. The flavors were mild, but I did enjoy the hint of carmelization on the bread. I was a bit surprised that there were no fries on their limited menu; maybe that's fair enough to wherever they're from but falafel and fries is just such a classic combination to me. Regardless, a good meal but not the best one of this sort I've had in Charlottesville.

We met the owner and could tell she took such great pride in providing not just a nice setting but high-quality food. Without a doubt, you need to order the dough balls for an appetizer. We got the ones stuffed with cheese and sauce as well as the dough balls stuffed with cheese, jalapeños and ham. They were fantastic and didn't last long! For the main course, we ordered a straight up cheese pizza. It came out hot and fresh. Our kids just loved it and so did we. Everything about the meal was spot on.

The space is urban chic with a moderate sized dining room and small bar. I would describe the menu as "upscale comfort". Elevated pork chop, meatloaf, pasta for example. At our table we ordered the swordfish nightly special, the wild mushroom pasta, the pork chops, and the potato croquette appetizer. All were beautifully plated and delicious. We also had two exceptional glasses of Chardonnay, and some beautiful cocktails. We enjoyed our evening. This is a great place for a special night out without needing to be fancy or fussy.

There was a heater, so we figured we could stand it. The hostess rearranged the tables to seat us close to the heater, and left menus. Soon a waitress came with water and took drink orders. Not long after she returned to take our food orders. While we were waiting for the food, someone brought us some warm blankets. All through our meal people kept checking to see whether we needed anything. It was the best service I have seen in a long time, and I arrange a bi-monthly lunch outing for a club I belong to. The food was delicious. The salmon sandwich was incredible, the burrata appetizer was to die for, and I wish everyone had such good French fries.

It has been a safety lifeline, but also very convenient when on the road. My husband and I were on our way to DC and we placed our lunch order with this Chopt in Charlottesville as it was on the way. They provided real time updates, and our food was ready, bagged, and on shelf by the time we arrived. Chopt offers all kind of salads and bowls as well as the ability to make and customize your own creations. You get decent size salad and to-go orders come in a resealable plastic container. My go to is the Asian Crunch Salad (FreeBird grilled chicken, rainbow carrots, broccoli, pickled red onions, crispy shallots, romaine, cabbage & cilantro blend) with Sesame Ginger dressing. I also added edamame because I love them. With each order you have the option for an included slice of bread. It's a nice and bright salad, lots of vegetables, not heavy, and I found easy to eat in the car. My husband likes the Kale Caesar Salad (Parmesan, Homemade croutons, kale & romaine) with Creamy Caesar dressing.

Serving American classics with high quality and great hospitality…read more Sandwiched between two floors of antique malls, Jack's was the perfect stop in the day to get some no-frills nourishment. Their breakfast is incredibly generous and made with ingredients that were fresh, clean, and meticulous in detail. The design of their menu is just so promising with unique twists that are not unheard of, but just an elevated touch when it comes to American diner food as a whole. Things like truffle infused hollandaise, fried green tomato BLT, pairing balsamic with goat cheese, a blackened pork, even mushrooms on the breakfast menu all hint that people developing their menu are confident in their skills in offering something more when it comes to breakfast plates and sandwiches. Their homemade aiolis (highly recommend their pesto aioli) and hot sauce tie any dish together-- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Things made to this quality are not to be unremarked. Came in with friends so we can try everything on their menu, and we were pleasantly surprised on all fronts. Presentation, ingredients, preparation all elements that made our meals great and were evident across all dishes ranging from protein to carb. Details like toasted bread with already spread with butter, perfectly poached eggs, and brioche as the bun of choice were things we peeped. We would have left satisfied if these details weren't accounted for, but we were so impressed this became a revisit during our short vacation. Their space is greatly spacious, with an open drinks station so its just not pretentious. There is even a section in the front to pick up goods made by local artisans. This is a great place to dine in, no notes.
