After loving my first visit, I had to come back to Ms. Peach's -- and I'm happy to say the second trip was just as satisfying. The fried chicken was every bit as incredible as I remembered: perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with that signature Southern flavor that keeps you thinking about it long after you leave. The biscuits were still warm, fluffy, and buttery, proving this place knows how to stay consistent. What really stood out this time was the welcoming, homey atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even if you're just passing through. It's clear that Ms. Peach's isn't just serving food -- they're serving comfort, tradition, and a whole lot of heart. Coming back confirmed it for me: this spot isn't a one-time treat, it's a go-to whenever you're craving real Southern cooking done right. read more

Great Sunday brunch. We got fried chicken and cat fish. Potatoes, greens on the side. Large portions; very tender, moist. Cornbread was yummy. We opted for the fixed price. Limited menu and that's okay. Very attentive service. We will be back. read more

Excellent food and even better customer service! My family is considering moving to the area and having restaurants like Ms. Peach's helps the case for sure read more

I normally wait for at least 3 visits before I review a restaurant, but in this case I'll make an exception and give this review after just 2 visits. Ms. Peach's is a GREAT addition to the LoCo restaurant scene. When so many of my favorites are disappearing, I'm so happy to be able to add one to my list of favorites. I'm an old school soul food lover (are we still allowed to call it that?), and so many places have come and gone that have been bad (So Damned Soulful- microwaved trash, Johnny Ray's- he can't stay in one location and he has clearly switched to a lot of frozen food), but Ms. Peach's is off to a wonderful start. I loved seeing the restaurant packed when I went there, and happy people were leaving. I love the fried chicken, it's cooked perfectly- crispy outside and moist and juicy inside, with just the right amount of spice added to the breading. The mac & cheese is really good, it's not mushy like so many other places, and the cheese is delicious. The greens are great, and the biscuits....oh, the biscuits! Listen, I'm not really a biscuit guy, I always find them dry and they make me drink half a gallon of water, but these are perfect, and the honey and peach preserves are a great addition. Best biscuits in the DMV if you ask me and my biscuit loving wife. The waffles are great, and the salads are terrific as well. If I could add one thing to the menu, I'd add fried okra- it's a staple on soul food...er...comfort food restaurant menus, and it should be added here. Also, I found the peaches in the peach cobbler to have a bit of a sour taste and so did my family, but that's an easy fix. I am going to be a very regular customer at Ms. Peach's and I'm going to love every minute of it. The service is fine, everyone is friendly and working hard. If anyone is complaining about service, please understand this restaurant just opened and are very crowded, they will be just fine. read more

Danny was a great and helpful server he was very nice and kind to me and my family. I plan on coming back soon

Their food is bland. And there is no black ppl that cook in the kitchen. It is a clean location though. Very pretty! read more

I went to Ms. Peaches today 1130am My review Food notes: * Deviled eggs -- good! (No vinegar, please.) * Eggs -- 4 as an entrée, 2 with brunch. * Catfish bites -- tasty * Honey biscuits -- good, but not Milk & Honey good. Chicken & Waffles: I ordered dark meat only -- a leg, wing, and thigh. I ate the leg and wing, both were seasoned perfectly, piping hot and not too salty. But when Tommy opened the thigh, there was a stringy, semi-bloody situation going on -- not ideal. The manager came over promptly, addressed it, and apologized. The waffle, however, was not waffling -- room temperature at best. Desserts (included with the $32 brunch): The brunch deal includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. We tried all three dessert options: * Pecan pie -- just okay. * Bread pudding -- dry as the Sahara Desert. * Peach cobbler -- more like a peach empanada impersonating cobbler. Tip: Confirm with your server whether brunch is available during breakfast hours -- it's a better deal at around $32 for apps, entrée, and dessert. SERVICE WAS GREAT ! read more

There's nothing "bad" to say here. Just kinks that with better workflow and recipe tweaks can be fixed. The food is good and the service is exemplary. I went on the 3rd day they were open and they were behind but working to get ahead. This is a southern restaurant, but it is also someone's interpretation of the southern food. They grew up with. That being said, the greens are not what you typically expect for that type of restaurant. While they are tasty, they are not traditional, southern greens. Same with the catfish nuggets. They are battered in a sweet dough and it just doesn't work for that appetizer. All in all, I hope they stay around and I look forward to coming back for dinner. read more

Ms. Peach's - Southern Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Really enjoyed the unlimited brunch. The bartender, Diego, is amazing. He was entertaining, informative, and honest. The food came out at a good pace. The restaurant was busy, so it was impressive that the service was on point for their opening week. The chicken & waffles was the stand out. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly through. Everything we tried was good, although the collards and peach cobbler were not our favorites. I hope this restaurant is successful! read more

What a vibe! If you're missing some southern home cooking and amazing cocktails, this is your new favorite place! Catfish bites are out of this world and I don't even usually like catfish. Fried green tomatoes are fantastic. Get the peach salad and the juiciest pork chop you've ever eaten. The magnolia margarita is incredible with Patron and Hennessy as is the spicy marg. Outstanding! Great hospitality, you feel like you're at a family reunion with all your favorite relatives. Have a milkshake for dessert or bread pudding. We will be back! read more

After reading the mixed reviews, I was quite nervous to try this place. Our experience was wonderful. We had an excellent server Ziniah and not a single dish that we tried was bad. I learned from Ziniah that most of the negative reviews were from people who had not made a reservation. So be sure to make a reservation. It took me almost 3 weeks to find an after-church lunch reservation. But I am glad we waited. We had the unlimited brunch. As a party of three, we tried deviled eggs (excellent), catfish bites (very addictive), cornbread (this was my favorite, I'm still dreaming about having it again), biscuits and honey (excellent), shrimp and grits (good), chicken and waffle, Southern breakfast, peach cobbler, pecan pie (excellent), and a chocolate milkshake. I can't remember the last time we tried a restaurant that had so many standout dishes paired with excellent service. Ziniah, you belong in the hospitality industry. I hope you keep climbing up the ladder! God bless! read more

Hey guys, I've been looking for a great soul food restaurant and found it in my backyard. What a great place to spend time I had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic. I can't wait to come back many many times in the future. Let me also say the cocktails were outstanding and they matched up to the quality and authenticity of the food. Soul food done, right you won't be disappointed. read more

Very good food with great service. We are definitely looking forward to going back! ..

I highly recommend Ms. Peaches. I had the fried chicken, collards, fried okra, and biscuits. The okra was not breaded, sliced long. It was delicious! The collards are perfectly seasoned as well as the fried chicken. The biscuits were the showstopper with honey butter. The whole dinner make you want to "slap ya mama"!! read more

After having a good carryout experience here we stopped in for dinner on a Sunday evening. Total opposite of the carryout experience. The place was moderately busy with about half the tables occupied and they were doing a brisk carryout business. There was plenty of staff, but they seemed really disorganized. What stood out though, was that all the unoccupied tables hadn't been bussed and were filled with dirty dishes. They had to clear a table so we could sit. So maybe they just finished up the dinner rush and didn't have a chance to bus and clean the tables. Wrong. We were there for over an hour and the dirty dishes sat on the tables around us and weren't touched, even though the staff had plenty of opportunity to clear them. Apparently busing dirty dishes and cleaning tables is not a focus of this establishment. We ate our dinner surrounded by empty tables of half-eaten food, crumpled greasy napkins, and dirty dishes. Totally disgusting! Our server was new and awkward and forgot to bring the glass of wine we ordered. It sat on the bar for 10 minutes before we reminded her of it. She totally forgot. She wasn't that busy. The person who we were told was the manager, wasn't managing. She was processing carryout orders and walking around looking important. She wasn't interacting with or directing the staff, who clearly needed her direction. The food came out in a reasonable period of time but wasn't the same quality as the first carry out we ordered a couple weeks prior. The fried chicken and Gumbo were hot but the side dishes were cold. Some thoughts on menu items: The Gumbo is excellent but order it dry--the broth makes the rest of the ingredients soggy Shrimp and grits were good but skip the Cajun cream sauce or order it on the side. It overwhelms the rest of the dish and makes it watery. The fried chicken, while not bad, is totally forgettable. Catfish bites app was good, but the portion was extremely small for $14 Ms. Peaches is part of the Thompson Restaurant Group, a local chain like Great American, but nowhere near as good. In general, the prices are expensive for what you get. Not a good value. The wine and beer selection is a joke. Overpriced and terrible quality. Only three bottled beers (Miller Light, Blue Moon, and Modello) for $9 a bottle. Nothing on tap. For a restaurant that has entree prices in the mid $20's to low $30's the wine selection was more reminiscent of a local dive bar than a wannabe upscale restaurant. The same wine would be much cheaper at the dive bar though. Food is overpriced for a neighborhood strip mall restaurant. Might try carry-out one more time but not going to eat in the restaurant again. read more

Went here for brunch on their first weekend after opening. We got the family style brunch, and everything that we tried was very tasty. Deviled eggs were no frills and tasted fresh. I'm not a fan of restaurants adding a dozen ingredients into their deviled eggs, so this was a home run for me. Chicken and waffles were very good. Chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Bone in, too. So many places seem to just do tenders now, which is just sad. One of the better chicken and waffles I've had. Avocado toast has a generous helping of salmon and avocado, and the pumpernickel toast was very good. And finally (or really at the beginning), the biscuits, served with peach compote, were the star of the show. Biscuits were light, fluffy, and flaky. I don't know how they accomplished all three, but those are the best biscuits I've had in the DMV area. A++++++. The peach compote was also fantastic. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying out the other dishes. This place is a winner. read more

The food was good, but portions are small, service was messed up, and room was tightly packed inside.

PLEASE READ! This is NOT a Soul Food Restaurant or a Southern Kitchen. The items are not seasoned with salt or pepper at a minimum; not to mention any Lawry's or Slap Yo Mama seasonings. Im writing this incase you drive far to try it. This advertising is incorrect. In all Southern Kitchens they use SALT! One because I had to. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I'm a southerner so good fried chicken is something I look forward to finding in the area. Ms. Peach's isn't it. When we ordered we were told we couldn't pick white or dark meat. We would get what they served us. I personally don't like dark meat chicken. Nothing wrong it, just a preference. They did give both of us breasts, so kudos for that. The breading was more of a semi detached crust that wasn't actually adhering to the meat. They obviously don't brine their chicken because all of the seasoning was in the crust. The breast itself had no seasoning and was bland. I don't really remember the sides, so obviously nothing stood out. Anyway, pretty disappointing and we obviously won't go back. read more

Food good, service good, outrageous prices! Small warehouse ambiance! Food good, outrageous prices for basic food, strip mall ambiance.

High level, the atmosphere is great, but the food is ok (not bad just average). I got the Southern Classic Breakfast. For its price, I would like to see more than the 2 small pieces of ham. Small water cups, I would invest in larger cups or a dedicated "water runner". Service wasn't bad but not great. As a southern, a peachy introduction from the server and southern hospitality was severely lacking. Lastly, food came out at different times, for breakfast foods I'd really like to this synced up. read more

Clean establishment. Welcoming environment. Superb customer service w/Zania. Thank you for serving us! read more

A friend recommended Ms. Peach's. We came for a late brunch on a Saturday, arriving at 2pm. The unlimited brunch ends at 3pm. So we had an hour to indulge. Our waiter did a great job touching base and letting us know when it was last call for brunch. Everything was amazing! It was so good that we are heading back next weekend! read more

First time visiting. The food was okay. The good thing was we went for the unlimited brunch which was $34 pp, so we got to try a variety of items. My fave was probably the avocado toast. Our server, Danny was wonderful. However there was a woman in a green dress with long brown hair seeming to be the manager that made us feel awkward because she noticeably skipped checking on our party of 2 and instead repeatedly returned straight to the two tables we were sitting in between. Like lady we don't want you over here anyway but just because of how weird you were, we definitely aren't interested in returning. I really don't want to say the "R" word but she was weird like it's so obvious you don't want to speak to us and we didn't need her to. But stop staring and coming near our food. read more

The first thing I'll say is service was above and beyond. Had an early dinner there on the day of the "grand opening". Love the idea of the peach tea in the take-home jar, very pretty decor. The deviled eggs were unremarkable - I'm used to a bit more flavor. The appetizer gumbo was a generous portion and tasty. But the fried green tomatoes were a huge disappointment, they were heavily floured and then deep fried so instead of a nice crispy stack of tomato slices I got four soggy slabs on a plate. My dining companion was likewise disappointed in the fried chicken, which came out looking lovely, but turned out to be mostly breading, no great seasoning there, and very little meat. Back to the peach tea, I'm an iced tea lover and enjoy flavored teas. This tea was extremely watered down with neither tea nor peach flavor. Having said all that I would go back for cocktails and maybe try a different appetizer. I'm hoping that with enough feedback some of these things can be worked out or maybe attributed to opening day missteps. I'd love to see a good restaurants succeed in that location! read more

Everything was on point! We wait, but it was very well worth! I will come back to the Brunch next Saturday, 10:00am -3:00pm!

Everything was just really mediocre. The corn bread was okay but was a tad bit dry. I had the fried chicken which was decent, but would have liked some type of sauce. The biscuit was alright but needed butter which was not offered. The Mac and cheese kind of reminded me of Stouffer's. The cole slaw was kind of watery and sweet. Service was okay, but when I'm out of water I expect my glass to be refilled in a timely manner. read more

Delicious! Our table loved the biscuits, fired chicken, waffles Catfish bites, yams, greens, and mac and cheese. The only complaint was that the gumbo didn't have enough rous. read more

My guy and I had breakfast at Miss Peaches yesterday. I didn't know what to expect so I made a 1045 reservation. We arrived at 10:45 and we were seated by the hostess. The restaurant was not busy. We waited what seemed like 10 minutes before our waitress came to our table. Another couple who arrived after us were seated and served their beverages before our waitress showed up at our table. By the time she took our order they had their food. This was curious, as there were a number of wait staff gathered in the back of the restaurant. When our waitress finally came to take our order, I commented that we were wondering where she was. She just giggled nervously, didn't apologize, and asked what we wanted to drink. My guy ordered water, coffee, and orange juice. I ordered a cranberry mimosa. When the beverages came, she didn't bring his orange juice. She had to go back and get it. I ordered the shrimp and grits and he ordered the classic breakfast. the shrimp and grits were delicious. However, my guy's food was room temperature and he only ate the scrambled eggs and cheese and bacon. We like experiencing different restaurants. my guy is a big guy 6'3" loves to eat. Unfortunately, he wasn't very comfortable. The table for two was very small and his knees hit the bottom of the table. The decor was pleasant however, the overall restaurant is very small. I might come back with friends, but my guy won't be back. read more

I'm so happy to have a southern restaurant in Sterling. The food is delicious-I especially liked the French toast, catfish, and shrimp and grits. I love the decor (pink and green!) and the ambiance. I can't wait to go back. read more

Ms. Peach's - Berry French Toast - Southern Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

wow, is an understatement. Eight of us Queens visited today for the first but definitely not our last time. The service, facility, Everything was top notch/5 star. our waiter Danny & his General Manager went above & beyond for our Queens. Lawdy the food was a 10plus. We all got the buffet. The only thing we needed at the end was a pillow & a bed & wake up there the next day to start over. The ambiance was superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant. They might have to relocate to a bigger facility. Don't worry if you relocate we will find you. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! So glad we came for Sunday brunch and will definitely come back. Did not order the unlimited brunch but very happy with what we ordered. read more

This place does not know how to cook eggs properly. After sending the eggs back, they cooked them a second time and still overcooked. The chicken and waffles were equally terrible. Chicken was dry and had no taste. The staff had poor excuses for the bad food. They said because it was busy the kitchen messed up! Are they saying that the restaurant has to be empty to cook a decent meal??!!! Will not be returning again. Go to IHOP for a better and cheaper meal. My husband got ill after eating here and I wished I looked at previous reviews where others got sick. Next time I will read reviews before going to a new place. read more

What an amazing experience! My family ordered the unlimited family style brunch so we could have a taste of everything, and nothing disappointed. The catfish, chicken, and cornbread were superb! And don't forget the deviled eggs! Diego made us feel right at home with helpful service and hospitality. Thanks for a great time! read more

Good day, Thompson Restaurant My family and I are long-time patrons and enthusiastic supporters of your establishments, including Matchbox, Big Buns, Markers Union, Wise Guys, Velocity Wings, Hen Quarter, and Milk & Honey. We were genuinely excited to visit your newest venture, Ms. Peach's in Sterling, VA, just yesterday, Sunday, September 28th. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly turned into a night of horror and continued to affect our family today. We were a party of five dining in, and I am writing to express my grave concern regarding the quality of the food and the severe gastrointestinal distress that has affected six people in total. Visit Details and Positive Feedback We arrived around 3:30 PM and left around 5:00 PM on Sunday, September 28th. I want to first note that the atmosphere was great, and both our waiter and the host were highly professional and hospitable. The only minor flaw was a typo my son noticed on your Instagram handle listed on the blackboard. Our Order and Food Quality Concerns We began with the deviled eggs and cornbread. My mother, sister, and I opted for the Family Unlimited to allow for sampling. * Chicken and Whiting Fish: I noted that my chicken was a little pinkish toward the bone and immediately stopped eating it. I switched to the whiting fish, but one bite was so intensely salty it was like a "salt lick." We decided to take the unused portions of the fish home. * Sides & Other Items: We had the collards, yams, and mac and cheese (which was bland). My son ordered the Shrimp and Grits. My sister and I had the peach cobbler, and we all (except my 6-year-old grandson) drank the peach tea. * What was safe: My 6-year-old grandson, who only ate butter pasta, was thankfully spared. We took several pictures of our food during the meal and can provide these upon request. Subsequent Illness Affecting Six People The contaminated food quickly began causing illness and continued to sicken others who ate the leftovers: * My mother had to use your restroom before we left, as the meal "went right through her." * I developed a headache soon after arriving home, and from 11:30 PM until 3:00 AM I was violently ill with vomiting, diarrhea, and the shakes. * This morning, my sister and son woke up to similar, severe experiences. * My brother-in-law and two other adults who ate the leftovers we took home also became ill overnight and this morning, experiencing severe discomfort. I am profoundly thankful that no one ended up in the hospital and that my grandson avoided consuming what we ate. Conclusion As loyal customers of the Thompson Restaurant Group, this was the single worst dining experience we have ever had at any of your establishments. For a total of six adults to be simultaneously struck with such severe illness from your food points clearly to a serious and widespread issue with food safety and preparation at Ms. Peach's. I urge you to immediately investigate your kitchen operations, sourcing, and food handling procedures for this location. I have sent two emails and expect a prompt response and a sincere attempt to resolve this deeply concerning situation. read more

Tried this amazing new restaurant. Food was fresh and delicious. Outdoor seating area was comfortable and relaxing. Gabby our server was on point and was helpful in making suggestions. Don't skip the mixed berry french toast! read more

I was not going to write a review but after reading what I believe to be too many exaggerated reviews, I decided to be "honest" and helpful. First let me say REAL CHEESE please. SEASONING or abandon the "southern" marketing. It is disappointing beyond measure. Do a search for mama or call Rachel Dozier. Hurry up before the novelty of supporting another one of THOMPSON's ventures takes a turn. The ancestors don't understand this. Nice venue. Overpriced. Where's the banana pudding? With the real vanilla wafers. COME ON! read more

Upon a new soul food place opening in Sterling I was really hoping that this place would hit the spot but I was highly disappointed. I ordered take out and this has got to be the worst "southern" food I've ever tasted. The greens are not done; not tender as greens should be. The fried whiting is very thick and lacks flavor; not even sure it's actually whiting‍. The mac and cheese barely has any cheese or sauce, white in color and the yams also lacked flavor; missing butter and brown sugar. My son got the fried chicken that I didn't even bother to try due to my disappointment in my dishes. I'm not sure who the chef is but I suggest this establishment get one that knows what they're doing. As the daughter of a father that was in the food industry for many years, I know what good food taste like and how it should be prepared. Oh, and the biscuits were very hard and way too brown. Now getting to the environment of the restaurant; small but quaint. Unfortunately, I will never come back here to eat and would truly appreciate a refund. read more
