My other half enjoyed his breakfast of eggs, bacon and a homemade biscuit (the diners last one for the day).

Prices were very reasonable as well.

Todays visit was our third to the Virginia Diner and it was by far the best, though our earlier…read morevisits were great too. My wife and I both got the the Country Fried steak (again) because it was wonderful last two times. My grandson got the Gunslinger Burger. Our waitress, Caitlin was excellent and brought everything promptly. The presentation of the country fried steaks is a bit plain but the flavor could not be better. I did have to send my mashed potatoes and gravy back to be heated but Caitlin came back with a fresh replacement which is so hot I couldn't eat it. And this time they were as delicious as the steaks were. The green beans were also well seasoned and the biscuit that came with the dinner was superb. My my grandson's burger was clearly juicy, and so big he couldn't finish it! For dessert, I got the chocolate chess pie and my wife got the peanut pie with ice cream. The chess pie was a bit too chocolatey for me, and so my chocoholic wife and I swapped. We both loved our new choices. This is probably the best country food restaurant I've ever eaten at. I hope to repeat today's experience at the Virginia Diner many more times in the future.

Don't fall for the advertisement. We were visiting Virginia Beach and surrounding areas from Texas…read moreand since there is so much construction on 64 we had to take a diff route. We were looking for a place to eat and and since there ain't much to choose from in the area we decided to stop. Once we sat down which didn't take long we asked for a few mins to look through the menu. Our waitress just took her sweet time. When she finally came back to take our order she was just plain rude. A friend of ours didn't want her eggs runny. Instead of the waitress saying "I suggest over med or over well/hard" she just kept rolling her eyes and making faces. The place wasn't really full maybe about 10-15 people and most already had their food. So once we ordered our food it took forever to come out. During the whole meal I'd see other waitresses asking tables if they needed more coffee and what not and our waitress barely came around and never once asked if we needed refills. Now to the food part. I got some egg and ham breakfast with a side of cheesy grits. Ive never had VA ham and since I saw it on the menu I said why not? IDK how y'all eat this ham it was like eating spoonfuls of salt I was regretting adding a bit of salt to my eggs. The "cheesy" grits were not the best. I was expecting cheesy grits not just cheese over grits. I did finish it all considering we still had a ways to go to our next stop and the meal wasn't cheap. In the end we decided to get their famous peanut pie to go. Again idk how y'all eat this,it was literally the worst pie I've had in my life.

This place is not closed…read more Boy oh boy do I love soul food. I found this place a few months ago. I saw a teacher at my job enjoying a hot bowl of soup and a huge grilled cheese sandwich and I had to have one. I left during my lunch break to find the best hole in the wall ever. My first trip I had the soup and sandwich. The soups was full of chicken and piping hot, just the right seasoning and a perfect consistency. The grilled cheese was nice and thick and perfectly grilled. My next visit I had the baked spaghetti. Oh my I wanted more! It was cheesy, not too sugary and mouth watering. I then had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and cabbage. The meatloaf was perfectly seasoned, I opted for the gravy on the side. Next, I tried the smothered pork chop. The chops were juicy and well cooked. The gravy was awesome. I also had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was juicy and flavorful. I also tried their chicken n dumplin! Pretty good. Lastly, the sweet tea was sweet and refreshing! Please support the small family run business!!!!
