The serving was generous. The coffee was good. The difference from Edith's, where I had breakfast yesterday and Orange Cafe where I had breakfast today was within $2 difference in cost. Orange, bigger portions but also, gravy not homemade and hashbrowns not homemade. Ediths was homemade. It was very good though, dont get me wrong. People working there today were very nice.

The flavors were good, but the crab cake was a bit overdone. Wayne enjoyed a creole rockfish - although it was a bit lacking in the creole spice. We had a really good small caesar and each thoroughly enjoyed a baked potato - done just right - the potato was the star of the meal - as well as the Barboursville Chardonnay. Our server was great, the room had a nice feel - not too pretentious - as indicated by the signs on the restroom doors.

The bacon was not crispy, rather limp and sad. The burger was cooked well. The fries were soggy, limp and lackluster. Service was great but overall, it was meh.

("There's someone smoking outside, is it open? The sign says closed?") This dragged on for a few months, then finally they were clearly re-open! But I heard things had changed, so I was slightly hesitant to go back in case the Holly's I fell in love with was now a tattered dream. After some new reviews rolling in, I decided it was worth the trip back. It looks super nice and clean inside now! It was admittedly slightly dingy before, so way to go, Holly's. It seems like they still need to add some lighting; once the sun went down we were basically in darkness at our table. There was a fixture connection hanging empty above us, so I assume they are still adding things and finishing things up slowly. We were there on Thursday's "game meet-up," where the gamers of Cville crawl out from their holes and head to Holly's for a pint and a game or two with like-minded folks and friends. Our group, a party of five, came together and sat at a table to play our own game. It's a fun environment when the beer is flowing and all the tables around you are filled with various board games (think: catan, ticket to ride, pandemic, and many others I've never heard of). There was only one waitress who was also on the bar, so she was worked off her butt and would have benefitted immensely from even one other person to help. But because we had our game going, the slow service wasn't too much of an issue. Unfortunately my beloved, bigger than my head Club sandwich is off the menu, and they've streamlined their sides service with the sandwiches now, so you always get a side salad and fries unless you ask otherwise I guess. I got the reuben and it was huge, stuffed full, and delicious. I felt like the melty cheese wasn't as present as it could have been, but it was still good. The side salad is meager, but I'm always thankful for fresh greens when eating greasy sandwiches, so no complaints. The fries were hot and delicious. My husband got the BLTA, (a blt with avocado) and it was also huge and looked great. Definitely something I'd think about ordering another time, once I know tomatoes are in season. So, to wrap things up. Some menu changes left me a bit sad, but what they are delivering is still tasty and still priced fair especially for the portion you get. The service is friendly and the renovations made a nice difference. Still looks like a dive from the outside, but inside it's clean and tasteful. The bathroom upgrade is especially welcome and appreciated. Go. Avoid Thursday if you don't want to be crowded by gamers, or go on Thursday if you're into that. I assume other week nights aren't quite as hopping. Glad I finally returned to Holly's!

This was a fabulous evening, arriving at around 5:30 pm to a packed parking lot but the inside was not at all busy. A few folks at their dart boards but most people were outside for "Music Bingo" and that gave us choices to be comfortable. David at the bar was a delight, taking and filling orders. Mrs. K. and I chose our drinks and meals. I very much enjoyed my Very Italian Pilsner and later the Lemicky Light Lager. We dove into a Cowboy Bill Burger, onion rings, cheese curds and perfectly seasoned fries. It was all the food groups and delicious. I'd say my only complaint is that they closed this evening at 8. If they were open until 9, I would have stayed longer and had another beer. Still, it was a lovely time and an easy five star review. [Review 1106 of 2026 - 1555 in Virginia - 26285 overall]

I really would recommend a non-ipa beer "Chesterfield Secret Voyage", which has a high alcohol content. It was a nice smooth drinking malty brew! The staff at the counter were friendly and knowledgeable. We tried several sandwiches. Enjoyed the fried Chicken sandwiches which came with a side. We got the onion rings. Each sandwich was $13 which we felt was a bit overpriced but the food was good. The hot dog is $8 plus $1.50 for chili and cheese plus another $.50 for a tiny sprinkle of onions. The bun was hard and broken. Wife felt that she should have returned it and was way overpriced. The inside beer area was clean and roomy but very loud. They have a few arcade games and the kids were screaming.

It was a perfect way to end the evening until the torrential rain came down as we were about to leave, and as they were about to close. When a situation understandably could have been met with a "not my issue" attitude, we were instead reassured that there was no rush on their end. Our wonderful and attentive bartender, Tatum, continued to treat us with kindness and great customer service, even while they were doing their job in closing up. I appreciate that that our safety was prioritized and valued over their workday ending. As Annapolitans, we continue to discover the gems of Charlottesville, and this is high on our list. The beer was superb. I had trouble narrowing my choice. Thank you, Tatum! You made our visit memorable and enjoyable.

Brewery #453…read more Selvedge felt a little boujee. When we walked in someone who acted like and resembled Dieter from SNL (Google it young whipper snappers) took our orders. I asked if they had flights and he acted like I asked him for a Busch Light. As if this beer was being pissed out by God himself into my glass. So, I just got a pint of Hummingbird Ale which was a hazy IPA. It was good but came out with a hug head (too much foam) which seemed odd for a hazy IPA with a pretentious server. We also ordered a thing of nacho fries which I think was just cheese sauce, cilantro and banana peppers. These were very delicious. Dieter never came back by, so I didn't get to try any more of their beer. The place seemed nice. Had a cool arcade area. The food and beer I had was good. Just let there be flights so people can try more of your beers and maybe remove the snooty waiter.

The corn pudding was tasty and just enough to keep me satisfied. The salad was a bit small and the dressing was packaged but still okay. The fried catfish my wife ordered was good, maybe a bit undercooked, affected the cornmeal breading ( made it soggy) but it was okay. The fish itself had a slight muddy taste, I noticed, she did not! So personal preference I guess. Service was on point! Jamie waited on us and made sure we were taken care of. Music was top notch! I will definitely be back and try more of the offerings!
