Did a pick up order and from the moment you call to order to pick up, you feel like family. I ordered 7 different meals and they got my order right and cooked just as we requested. It was delish! I had the catfish dinner. Price and portions are good. When in town, I'll definitely be back!

The guy at the bar took my order and told me it would be about 15-20 minutes. Once I got to my car I opened the top because I didn't want the fish to get soggy from steaming. Immediately it smelled like Gorton's fish sticks. I take a closer look and the fish is fried in bread crumbs. What soul food restaurant doesn't fry fish in cornmeal/cornflour??? Absolutely no seasoning. The macaroni and cheese was bland and basic. The cabbage was actually good. The sorry piece of cornbread isn't even worth mentioning. I paid $22 for this meal. Never again. Richmond's soul food scene is sadly disappointing to me.

You usually don't know what is on the menu that day, but they always have two options for the main dish. And several side dish options as well. There is also a salad counter, a pizza counter and a sandwich place I think. We usually find something yummy at the main line. The prices are very reasonable. The dining room is modern, light and airy. The staff is very efficient and friendly. Two thumbs up!

If you've worked on base for any reasonable amount of time, you'd know that there have been lots of changes over the past 10 years in terms of food options. You got chains that have moved in like Subway, you have a new Exchange at one end of the base with places like Boston Market and Popeyes, and you have sandwich shops and food trucks. What isn't talked about much is the Hospital Cafeteria! Check my picture attached to this review. That isn't photoshopped baby! Guess how much it cost! It was less than $7 and that's because I eat a lot. Usually I can get two meals there for $6-7. If you are a normal human, you can get away with spending $3-4 on a lunch. I've been there for breakfast too and the prices are even cheaper. Depending on when you come, they have food grill areas opened or closed. They also have a fire pizza oven that is open every now and then which is decent. Overall, nothing else comes close to healthy and best bang for your buck food. Almost makes bringing your own food to work seem crazy!

I looked up the history on Google because I was curious about how old this diner was. This little diner has been open since 1920 and in its current location since 1939. We both ordered the country-style steak. It was excellent. Service was also very good; the waitress was very attentive to us. If we ever ever driving up this way again, I would definitely visit this place again in the future!

The food is good. The grits and greens are made with water so it's a little more runny than I like (I like my grits made with milk). The potatoes pancakes are always good, definitely a staple. I also ordered the biscuit and gravy, I will say this was not a favorite of mine. The gravy wasn't a smooth consistency and again made with water vs milk. The eggs and bacon, are just that. I ordered my eggs over medium they came out more so over well. Overall I like the Dixie, I go back every now and then. The inside feels and looks like your typical diner. It has pictures all over the walls of its past so that's pretty cool.

I was vacillating between 4 and 5 stars for this latest restaurant offering from the company that…read morebrought Mango Mangeaux a block down the street. I went with 4 stars this time but could be inspired to bump it up next visit. This eatery is open very reduced hours, Thursday thru Sunday from 1130am to 5pm. We got there at noon and followed a large group in the door. None of us were sure where to go exactly, but had I not been stuck behind them it would have been easy to figure out. Basically there is a large, beautifully appointed dining space with lots of seating configurations. This is not an all you can eat buffet. This is a cafeteria. Everything is a la carte. You approach the glass food cases, grab a tray and silverware and wait for one of the staff to offer you your choice of salads - I saw a pasta salad, fresh fruit, and the fixin's for a tossed green salad. We opted for the fruit salad and the tossed green salad. Then we approached the entree case where I spied liver and onions, meatloaf, baked chicken and some other offerings. The special of the day was a mango sauce pork chop. My friend opted for the pork chop and I got the liver and onions. The liver portion was huge - two large pieces of liver which was very tender and tasty. My granddaughter got the mac and cheese which appeared to be very cheesy and of the homemade variety. She ate all of her fresh fruit and some of the mac and cheese, which is more than she has eaten most places we go. I did not get any food photos as I forgot until we were well into our meals. There were some bread options including corn bread muffins. I got one that came with a small dollop of butter and it was sweet but not anything special. There was only one dessert option that I saw that looked like sweet potato pie and we passed on it. Drink options include sweet tea and mango lemonade. I would love if they offered the mango iced tea they have down the street. I did not see unsweet tea which is my drink of choice. Now to the reason I went with 4 stars. I had no idea what I was getting, what came with it, and how much it was. I paid for the pork chop, liver, salad, fruit, corn muffin, mac and cheese and 2 drinks and it came to about $35. That seems very reasonable and certainly not shocking. But I could not tell what the offerings were as they were not labelled, I did not know what came with sides and what didn't, and after the fact I noticed a very small sign about a children's meal, and found out it is spaghetti, bread and a drink for $4.99. I would really like to have the various options clearly identified and know the prices. I believe prices are posted on very small signs but not in a way that caught my attention or made sense to me. I am just one of those people that likes to know what my options are and know what I'm spending. Call me quirky that way. Limited hours must meet some demographic they are hoping to reach, perhaps the Sunday after church crowd fits perfectly in those hours. Still, a cafeteria concept can work and fill a niche in the revitalization of downtown Phoebus. Depending how long the serving line gets, because standing in line is not how I like to spend my meal time, I would like to give this eatery another chance soon!

I kept seeing rave reviews of this spot and finally visited at the end of March. Tried the stuffed…read moreportobello. Omg! Everything about it was good, the texture of the mushroom, the cheese (vegan?), the plant based sausage. I inhaled it and the carrot soufflé, which I'd never heard of though apparently everyone else has. ;) My first time trying maque choux as well - decent. This meal was amazing and I had a great time inhaling it at the waterfront a block away from the restaurant. 2nd visit, April 1st- more carrot soufflé please! Tried the cabbage - a green herb is included in the seasoning, tastes like basil or oregano or a blend. Different. I like it. Their salmon croquettes have a crust I'm not used to - maybe cornmeal? Some of the edges were overdone. Inside was meat only, maybe a few grains of rice, which isn't the best for salmon cakes, as they need something to keep them moist. These were on the dry side but edible. 3rd visit - more carrot soufflé please! 4th visit - went on a Sunday for the first time, which is when they have turkey wings. I ordered carrot soufflé and cabbage as sides. Was told that it comes with rice as a side and normally the soufflé would have to be an extra, separate side, but she went ahead and allowed me to opt out of the rice and have both my sides of choice. (I would have gladly paid an up charge for a premium side). Lots of turkey, good gravy. There is no picture evidence. Inhaled. 5th visit - cousin treated me to a delivery today. Turkey wings, rice, and cabbage pictured. I was trying to fight a carrot soufflé addiction and didn't request it. I regret it. ;) Cuz said thanks for hipping her to the spot - she walked out with 4 entrees herself ;) :O
