Ms Angie was very kind and worked her magic on the grill in just a short time, and we were enjoying our hot breakfast sandwiches. One in our party opted for a cheeseburger and it looked delicious, too. Kaleb was very friendly and checked us out at the register. This quaint convenience store & grill has so much to offer at its Marathon gas station location in Ebony, Virginia. Southern hospitality at its best!

We felt the love at Love Cafe! We were greeted by a very nice young lady that was running the…read moreeclectic cafe by herself today. She told us to help our selves to tea or water and she would be right with us. She was making a wrap that looked amazing! We settled on the build your own bowls. I had a steak bowl full of tender steak strips and fresh greens, it was great to have riced cauliflower as an alternate grain option. Vast menu full of healthy options of smoothies açaí bowls and wraps. The vibe was very laid back portion sizes were large and served in cute boxes. No issues with parking. All of the customers were friendly to us and we all conversed as we waited for our lunches. We are traveling but I'm going back tomorrow for zoodlesagne!! I felt the love at love cafe!

Driving from Winston Salem to DC and I am not one to stop at chains or fast food places, even when…read moreI'm on the road. Found the Love Cafe just a couple miles off the highway, and definitely worth the little "detour". It's small but charming with an open kitchen and literally everything done in front of you. If you are the type that doesn't want to know what a real working kitchen looks like, keep rolling because this isn't your place. Love Cafe offers soups, salads, bowls, smoothies, breakfast, tacos, and wraps. We popped in at about 1:30 and they even offered to serve us breakfast, if we wanted it (typically stop serving after 10:30) which was very sweet. I got one of their bowls which are customizable or you can order one of their staple options. Bowls are served with your choice of protein options, base (quinoa, rice or Cali rice), 6 toppings like black beans, cheeses, veggies and sunflower seeds, and sauce/dressings. I got the chicken bowl with sesame ginger dressing and it was made fresh and a great healthy option for something fast. My travel companion got the Shrimp tacos with mango salsa. The "tacos" were more like a large burrito type tortilla cut in half to make two "tacos". Shrimp was ok but not really seasoned or special. This felt like an open wrap more than a taco. But still a nice option for a quick lunch on the healthy side. All in all we were very happy that we found this cute spot, would be happy to return and try other items. Friendly service and a bright spot to our day!

The gentleman selling "Uncle Chuck's" stew from the Alberta General Store had such passion about his product, I gave it a try. The sample was so good, I purchased more to take home.

Check their schedule necause they do not have regular days in Richmond.

My husband and I decided to have dinner at 313 for my 63rd Birthday. After being seated and…read moreordering, my husband ordered a cup of coffee to drink before his meal. This cup of hot coffee ended up in my lap after the waitress mistakenly spilled it. She offered an apology and went about her chores. After sitting for a few minutes (awaiting a manager who never came out), we decided to scrap ALL plans for the evening and come home. Although the waitress did not do what was expected of her, we then encountered the host when exiting and he gave a weak apology and continued his day. Two employees with two chances to try and make things better. So disappointed!! Wish there was "0" stars!

From the outside it doesn't seem like much but the lie building definitely helped us find it. The owner herself greeted us and was very nice. It's small inside with 6 tables and a few seats at the bar. It's a warm atmosphere and definitely has the small town diner feel. I picked the Club Sandwich and substituted the fries/chips for a house salad. My partner had the cup of soup. He said his was really good and piping hot. I enjoyed my house salad and was anticipating the sandwich. Well, it didn't let me down. Very well prepared and tasted fresh. It's a big sandwich too! Great place and I would come back anytime to try more on the menu.
