    Wings, fries and Mac and cheese!  Yum
    Laura M.

    We are passing through the I95 corridor on our way home from FL and saw the sign on the highway and decided to stop in. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly young lady behind the counter. The place is clean and bright and they had music on that made you feel like this is a fun place to be. I ordered the fried whiting, mac & cheese and green beans and the fish was seasoned and fried perfectly. The Mac and cheese was good and the green beans were good as well. Hubby loved the wing too! Definitely we will be back again when traveling through and I already told friends in the area to try this spot!

    The employees and owner is very nice however, service is a bit slow. I wouldn't have mind if I didn't try to call my order in but the young lady on the phone said they would not be taking phone orders since the line was out the door. I arrived 5 mins later and the line was minimal. The shrimp were well seasoned just sucks they don't have homemade tartar sauce just regular packets that isn't quite good. The Mac and cheese was good as well. Now, I had higher hopes for the chicken but it was basic fried chicken with no flavor. Maybe they should season the chicken the same as the shrimp. The chicken was only flavorful when dipped in their special sauce. As far as the cabbage, I wouldn't order it again. I also had the banana pudding which tasted store brought not like someone's granny was in the back doing her thing!. I would try eating here again with a follow up review.

    Everyone has been talking about this place lately, so I decided to stop by. When I walked in, they were packed. There was a line, people waiting on orders, and more people coming in behind me. The person taking orders at the register was Trinity, or at least that's the name on my receipt, and she was GREAT. She answered questions, stayed respectful, and kept the line moving. I ordered a barbecue sandwich and a piece of catfish. I'm not usually a fish person, but it was surprisingly good and didn't have a strong fishy taste (8.5/10). The barbecue sandwich was my favorite though. I got it with slaw and their barbecue sauce, and it was so good (11/10!). I'll definitely be back. I just need to come earlier next time because they were out of mac and cheese and baked beans, which I really wanted to try. Note that I got there around 6:10-6:15 after work, and they close at 6:30 .. so that was on me.

    I had been chasing Hot Rod's food truck for over a year, got a taste at VSU homecoming last year and it was delicious. I needed it again!! Today I had the opportunity to stop by his restaurant... and let me tell you--it was worth every bit of the wait! Now that he has a restaurant, I can get my fix whenever they're open and I'm in town! The catfish fried hard was cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. The mac and cheese was rich, cheesy, and everything you want in comfort food. And those candied yams? Sweet, buttery, and absolutely delicious! If you're in or around Petersburg, do yourself a favor and stop by. The food is amazing, the portions are on point, and you can taste the love in every bite.

    I love a good food spot and traveling always brings it out. Hot Rod's is conveniently located next to a gas station and there is plenty of parking. I ordered white meat, potato salad and baked beans. I'm sorry I forgot to take pictures of the beautiful fried whiting, potato salad and string beans. Each bite was delicious and just to let you know.... The customers keep coming & share stories of eating from the food truck See you there real soon

    I went in 40 mins before closing and it seems like that's one of the busiest times. My food was made fresh and was hot. It did not take long to come out. I sat in the parking lot to get a quick taste and I am happy I did!!! The food was delicious!!! I will be returning to try other menu items!

    Yes, it's attached to a gas station. YES the food is incredible!! I had the fried catfish platter and when I tell you it was perfect, I mean it was "roll your eyes back in your head and do the happy dance in your seat" perfect.

    Fried wings, shrimp, Mac & cheese, and potato salad.

    My husband and I came here while traveling because he wanted a little mom-and-pop place. Perfect…read morechoice! It is a little quaint diner in the middle of downtown Petersburg, Virginia. I looked up the history on Google because I was curious about how old this diner was. This little diner has been open since 1920 and in its current location since 1939. We both ordered the country-style steak. It was excellent. Service was also very good; the waitress was very attentive to us. If we ever ever driving up this way again, I would definitely visit this place again in the future!

    Dixie has been around for a long time, it's a pretty small space but has extra seating on the patio…read moreoutside. If you during peak hours you'll have to wait for a table but it's pretty quick. The food is good. The grits and greens are made with water so it's a little more runny than I like (I like my grits made with milk). The potatoes pancakes are always good, definitely a staple. I also ordered the biscuit and gravy, I will say this was not a favorite of mine. The gravy wasn't a smooth consistency and again made with water vs milk. The eggs and bacon, are just that. I ordered my eggs over medium they came out more so over well. Overall I like the Dixie, I go back every now and then. The inside feels and looks like your typical diner. It has pictures all over the walls of its past so that's pretty cool.
