We stop at Sheldon's for their lunch or dinner buffet fairly frequently since it more or less…read morehalfway between home and a relative's. Lunch buffet is about $10, and it includes very good fried chicken, tasty (but slightly overcooked) ribs, country style veggies (greens, yams, mashed, green beans, corn, those sorts of things), and on this most recent occasion, pineapple pudding (think banana pudding but with pineapple) and blackberry cobbler that was replaced with an apple cobbler later. Meals come with cornbread and fluffy rolls. I've also seen ham on the buffet before. Everything was hot and delicious, better than most steam table fare. You leave stuffed, no matter how hard you try to avoid overeating. Hardly gourmet food, but it is just plain great country eatin'. For the price, it is an excellent meal.

The BBQ sauce options were limited and frankly not very good. I had been looking forward to eating here based on things I had heard but it was very disappointing.

Hopefully they were just having a bad day.

The interior is clean with no particular accents or decorating themes followed. Looks like a place that locals come to when they don't feel like cooking themselves. Everything is made to order so plan on waiting a bit. Ok, food review. This chicken is now my favorite. I've been on the hunt for the best chicken in Virginia and this is it!! The okra and collards were spot on also!!! Don't let the gas station facade fool you. This is the place for southern chicken!!

This review is for takeout Tuesday run by the Southern Inn. This is the second time we got takeout…read more The first one was not too good, vegetables were raw and inedible, pork was so so. We decided to give it another try but this time will also be our last. We ordered the chicken and dumplings. What we got was 2 big containers of chicken broth with little scraps of chicken floating in it. It was like lousy chicken soup. The dumplings were not bad but when I found that some of the "chicken" was skin and even a bone I was disgusted. There was not even a half chicken breast total in the 2 orders. I don't know who is really doing the cooking for this takeout service but it is not good.

There is also a ready to bake option for those eating at home. They also kindly provided us sets of utensils and paper plates for our meal. We got two family meals: Pork carnitas and blackened chicken penne pasta. The pork carnitas meal came with tortilla, rice, lettuce, pico, cheese, sour cream and carnitas. The pork was perfectly cooked- extremely flavorful and juicy. The meal for 2 came with 6 tortillas. The portion sizes are good for the price. The blackened chicken penne pasta was AMAZING! So flavorful and filled with delicious blackened chicken. The pasta came with a salad. This pasta dish for 2 was on the pricier side ($40). Both meals were delicious. The complimentary tomato basil bread was also great!

VERY busy on a Saturday night but well worth the wait. Don't let the crowd fool you - the lot was…read morepacked to the brim with folks even parked in the grass, and the waiting area was so full people had to stand outside, but it didn't take more than 20-30 min before we were being shown to a seat. Again - Well worth the wait. I have to emphasize that because at first glance, there doesn't look like much. There's one buffet stand with a small salad stand at the end, a carving station, and one dessert stand tucked in the corner. I consider myself quite the connoisseur of down home Virginia cooking, and it can be hard to find a place that gets it right, but Nanny's knocks it out of the park. The parking lot isn't jumping for nothing! A lot of the reviews mention the items available in detail, and the menu rotates a little, so I'm going to stick to the highlights. Navy bean soup - outstanding and very soppable. String beans - perfectly cooked. Mashed potatoes topped with some hamburger steak and gravy - homemade and melt in your mouth. Crispy crunchy moist fried chicken. Seasoned and tender greens. All the BBQ offerings - traditional and flavorful without doing too much. The desserts? Fresh out of your gramma's kitchen. I did almost take off a star because the banana pudding didn't have any whip or meringue on top, but everything was so outstanding I'll let it slide :) The price is, I think, more than fair for the quality of the food. They also never let anything run out for too long and fresh supply was in and out of the kitchen regularly. Top that off with friendly faces, quick service, and an atmosphere that's more like being at a family reunion than a restaurant, and you've got one heck of a spot for good eating!

Stopped by for the lunch buffet on a weekday. Buffet ran about $15 and we found it to be worth…read moreevery penny. First trip to the buffet, I tried the fried chicken (skin was a little too salty for me, but the meat itself was juicy and delicious), the hushpuppies (so crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside: delicious!), mashed potatoes with hamburger steak and gravy (soooooooooo good!!!), cabbage (good), Mac n cheese (soooooo cheesy and delicious. I could feel my arteries clogging, but that's how you know it is good), chopped bbq (tasty, but I would have loved a different bbq sauce, theirs is a little too vinegar heavy for my personal preference), and a sausage (soooooo good! I could have eaten about 50 of them!). Also had some potato salad and Cole slaw on the side that were both straight out of my childhood in Georgia. My second trip to the buffet, I had to get more mashed potatoes and hamburger with gravy, Mac n cheese, and hush puppies because they were awesome. Added some chicken and dumplings (yum!), corn (sooooooo great mixed with the mashed potatoes), as well as the peach cobbler (I wish the peaches were chopped smaller so they weren't so hard to swallow), apple cobbler (pretty good), and banana pudding (amazing!!!) I wish I had room for a cup of their ice cream, it was all those little cups but they had a bunch of flavors like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and COFFEE! I'll save some space next time. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and the decor looks like every barbecue restaurant I've ever been in with pig decor everywhere. I really like that They used more spices than just salt. This is one of the very few buffets I've ever been to that. It was not just overwhelmingly salty I also really liked their waiting room for when the restaurant gets too crowded and you have to get put on a list. There was so much seating that I would not have been annoyed standing around waiting for my table.We did not have to this time, because we were seated immediately, but it's good to know that you have options if you're ever here during a really crowded time of day. I will say that the temperature was a little too warm for my likings, so even though a lot of the clientele of a certain age shall we say were very comfortable, we ended up sweating and feeling a bit nauseated by the time it was time to go because it was just so hot. Definitely going sleeveless clothes next time I come here. I cannot wait to come back and demolish their buffet again. It was all so good.

We were passing through South Boston at lunchtime and saw this place on Yelp…read more We got there right at 11:00am when they were switching over from breakfast to lunch. The place was clean and welcoming. We ordered the Holler and the Green's folly sandwiches with a side of Hash brown casserole. Oh my goodness, both were two of the best sandwiches we've ever had, and that hash brown casserole was fabulous, we were lucky that was still available since it is a breakfast only side. The staff was working their tails off and you could tell they cared very much about the product they put out. Great downtown location. Will definitely be back if in the area again!!

This small, cozy restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and delivers that unmistakable Southern hospitality--warm smiles, friendly chatter, and a sense of community that makes you feel right at home. You order and pay at the front, and the staff brings your meal right to your table. Even though there weren't many people working, the service was smooth and timely--and honestly, we weren't in a rush anyway. The food was good, comforting, and true to that Southern flavor I love. And yes--they serve mimosas, which made the experience even better. Would I come back? Absolutely. Southern Plenty captures everything I adore about small-town dining: good food, good people, and a place that just feels like home.

Everything was savory and light, cooked to perfection. We were both stuffed as we walked away from this gem!

The server, Briana, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Personable, great smile, friendly, and knew her stuff. We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.
