First let's start off with the parking, parking is so tight here and hard to find. I was lucky when…read moreI arrived that someone was leaving out of a parking space. There is a business next door but they have strict signs up that for state no parking for "the pod" only their business. Which is understandable. Once entering I was greeted promptly by a smiling male employee. He was super friendly, made me feel welcomed, it definitely made me feel that I was valued as a customer. Thank you young man! The inside is beautifully decorated, they have a variety of things for purchase also. It's so clean, super DOOPER clean!! The restroom is so clean also. The menu is not overwhelming which is good. Enough variety to please anyone. I ended up getting the chicken and gnocchi soup, homemade pimento cheese sandwich. The soup was the bomb, very chunky, carrots, celery, plenty of gnocchi, the chicken seemed grilled and it was a good amount of it. The pimento cheese sandwich was very good, very stout sharp cheese flavor, it's pretty strong, with lots of flavor. I got the bread toasted which is so good, try it. I did try a speciality coffee, Cupid Kiss, it has notes of white chocolate and raspberries. This combination is so yummy together. It was definitely awesome! They do have oak milk, which I prefer. Highly recommend this business keeping this as a routine on their menu. They do have a variety of pastries and other sweets if you would like to give them a try. They looked super yummy! I was full so no room for any sweets. I would definitely, highly recommend , you better stop in and give this place a try!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Service is off the charts!!!!

I usually keep in mind that most Bojangles pile their biscuits up with a lot of egg and bacon, but this biscuit wasn't as loaded. It still tasted great. The fries were on point and the sweet tea with the right amount of sugar the way southern folks make it. There were a lot employees working and working together. It was nice to see the teamwork. The man at the register had good patience as the couple in front of me seemed like they were the type to test it and he was very nice, polite and professional. This Bojangles gets lot of business as there is a truck stop nearby, and heavy traffic headed through from larger cities. Bathroom was clean and had hot water to wash up with. Definitely appreciated that.

I've given this location several chances, both through DoorDash and by ordering in person, and…read moreunfortunately the experience has been disappointing every time. My most recent visit was around June 20, 2026, at approximately 7:03 PM. The food was extremely greasy, tasted old, and was honestly hard to enjoy. Looking at the meal, it was clear that quality control is not a priority here. What concerned me even more was the condition of the restaurant itself. The establishment did not appear clean, and the overall environment gave the impression that basic cleaning standards are not being consistently followed. The staff was polite, but it seemed like many of the younger employees were not properly trained in food preparation, customer service, or sanitation procedures. When I requested a refund, the manager on duty told me they had to contact the general manager for approval first. I've never experienced that before over a straightforward food quality issue. At this point, this isn't a one-time complaint--it's been a repeated pattern whether I order through DoorDash or pick up food myself. I will be reaching out to corporate because customers deserve better food quality, cleaner conditions, and better-trained staff. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

Other people in the lobby had waited over 10 minutes for a small coffee. Another lady with a pickup order had waited well over 20 minutes in the parking lot for her order. There were plenty of employees there working, just zero urgency on anyones part. The kiosks did not print out receipts so half the people didnt have, or remember an order number and the staff was clueless on how to track down an order without that number. To top it all off, after waiting for over 20 minutes for our food, we got on the road, opened the bag and our order was incomplete. Zero hashbrowns for either combo. Weve been to this location many times over the years and it continues to get worse. Over 20 minutes for 2 breakfast combos is absurd.. they honestly just didnt care at all. I will never visit this location again. There are plenty of other options

I don't blame McDonald's for this, though. Anyway, things were not moving, so I pulled around, parked, and went inside to order while everyone else waited in the car. When I got inside, the line was just as bad. It wasn't even lunchtime, so i'm not sure why the crowd. There are a couple of kiosks to order, or you can order from the register. I don't like to use kiosks or self checkout, so I waited in line at the cash register. The space in front of the cash register, where the kiosks were located was quite small and crowded. The line trying to get to the cash registers was crowding out the people trying to get to the kiosks. It was a terrible layout. I would not recommend going to this location.

I first had Bojangles in the Fredericksburg area and thought it was excellent. I went to ones in Prince George's County, MD as well as Union Station DC, areas closest to where I lived. All the MD & DC closed in late 2023. I remember liking the New Carrollton, MD location often when I had work travel pre-Covid. I went one time in early 2023 on work travel over there, and I was underwhelmed with that location. Although the food was great, they were as slow as molasses and was kind of dirty in there; not the experiences I had in the past. Although they had their issues, I was disappointed when I saw they had closed. So, when in Rome, I wanted to make to Bojangles on SML trip. Fast food is limited in the area. It's Bojangles & Wendy's, which is weak, and I live within 5 miles of a Wendy's, so I wanted to get something I can't get at home. I was very impressed with how friendly, fast, & tasty the food was on both visits here. I also was very impressed how clean it was in this location unlike the former MD locations. They also had American flags up for week of 4th of July, which was nice. This location was better than any of the MD locations I went to, DC, Fredericksburg, & one in North Carolina. Both times I got the chicken tender platter, which is tenders, fries (well seasoned), & biscuit; all delicious with Bo Sauce along with sweet tea, a nice Southern delicacy freshly brewed here. Next time at SML, I'll try to make it back to Bojangles.

So in this edition of "random reviews that Erik writes" we have a Subway in Chatham, VA that may…read moreend up being the highest rated Subway in the history of Subways. As with any chain, my rating is based on expectations for the chain, it's not a comparison to all sandwiches I've ever eaten. Me giving this Subway a 5, is not saying it's the greatest sandwich ever, but it was the best Subway experience ever. Truth. I have not had a sandwich at Subway in more than a decade. I either make my own sandwiches, go to a local place, or have the grocery store make them. In this particular case, my wife and I were hungry, we didn't want anything heavy, and also were not sure when we would find our next meal option. Also, there is definitely not much to speak of in Chatham, and upon looking at reviews in the tiny town, this Subway was the safest bet. Just gonna say, I've been sleeping on your Subway, and the guys you have working at this location made it a great experience. For one, I didn't know there were so many sub options these days, or that you are slicing meat on site now. I got a california club, and the avocado was fresh, no browning at all. Bread and meat fillings tasted great, and the guys crisped up my bacon in the toaster even though I didnt ask. Made everything better. Service generally was friendly, quick, and efficient, and I enjoyed my sandwich. I don't think there is a TCBY operating out of this same building anymore as shown in old photos. In the realm of Subways, this was certainly a 5!

Today was my first visit at this Subway, which is kind of unusual, since I come to Chatham often…read more I saw a good review, and decided to check them out. The food was typical Subway food. I did notice that my 6 inch Italian sub had 2 very small (maybe a half of a piece) of thin ham, and maybe 2 small pepperoni. I usually get much more meat on my subs elsewhere, and from other Subways. The sub also had a minimal amout of vegetables. What I really liked was the atmosphere. The workers were pleasant, and the atmosphere is overall pretty quiet, at least when I was there on a weekday at noon. There were maybe 30 customers in the restaurant. Nobody was talking loud, or yelling. The floors were cleaner than most fast-food establishments that I have been into, but the bathroom was not real clean. It was tastefully decorated, with minimal pictures. Music was playing, but not real loud. It was a nice volume. There are windows all around the seating area inside, so you can view the Rt 29 traffic, and businesses. There is also a seating area outside, and they had adequate parking space when I was there. It was starting to get busy.

There was no ranch on it- I couldn't even taste a hint of ranch. I later asked an employee about it. She stated that she thought that it was supposed to have come with a ranch packet to add to it and asked of it did. Neither sandwich came with one. She then asked if it was good anyway, to which I replied yes, I was just confused on the taste without ranch since it was called a ranch club. She started that thought the bread was made of buttermilk ranch type but said that she had never tried the sandwich. I also got the Sprite Hibiscus Strawberry drink. No flavored refills available if you ordered that (which I think is the norm for most places) but I could come back and get a drink refill. Not a bad experience, but chick-fil-a is fairly expensive in my opinion and almost always regarded as a treat.
