I met Joe DeFazio at his stand at the South of the James market, and boy can he talk a good game…read more He's from the north-east, moved to Richmond in the early 80s, and has been cooking italian food down here ever since. I think he used to have an actual restaurant, but now he just focuses on catering- corporate events, weddings, etc. He was at the market making sandwiches (which looked awesome, he was sneaking me pieces of proscuitto and arugula while he was making the sandwiches, and it was delicious!) and he had a few risotto balls and scotch bonnets ... I had never had a scotch bonnet so I tried it- turns out its a giant ball of sausage with a whole egg inside it! The sausage was really flavorful (homemade from what I could tell), though the egg was hardboiled inside and I like'um soft-boiled (although I am sure they are supposed to be hard-boiled) since they are sitting inside a sausage ball... but overall very tasty. So, would I talk to Mr. DeFazio if I had an event I needed catered? Yup. Will I visit his stand next time I am at the farmers market? Oh absolutely. I'll be the small woman ordering half a dozen sandwiches to bring home...

I'm not often in Powhatan, so I was thrilled to try 1933 Public House for the first time last…read moreThursday night after work with a couple of coworker friends. We booked a reservation and that seemed like a good idea, as it was quite full inside. We were seated in a corner booth in their dining room, directly across from the expansive wrap-around bar area. I noticed a cute little fireplace in the dining room too. All around, the vibe was perfect for a chill dinner. I ordered the Abita root beer ($5) to drink, which is always a good choice. One of my friends ordered a Sangria, which looked lovely, and she said it was good. I'd consider ordering that in the future. For food, I started with a small ceasar salad ($5). I loved the dressing on it so much, I wish I could've bottled it up! I would return JUST for that dressing. One of my friends ordered it for her meal and added salmon, and she also liked it. Another friend ordered the spinach salad and *loved* it. I ordered the blackened mahi with pimento grits and brussel sprouts for my entree ($30), the brussels subbed for the broccoli that originally came with the dish. Everything on the dish was delightful, and my leftovers warmed up well the next day too. We each ordered a different chocolate dessert, including the chocolate peanut butter pie, the chocolate pot de creme, and (myself) the brownie sundae. We all enjoyed them quite a bit. Prices were super reasonable, especially considering how much food we ordered. Everything was clearly high quality also. Can't wait to try more of their menu in the future!

My daughter's wedding was May 25, 2025. The food tasted fine, but the service was beyond…read moredespicable. It was supposed to be served, but they set it up as a buffet. They did not bring plates or silverware. The wedding coordinator had to send someone out to get them. They acted like they could not even be bothered to refill the hotplates when they ran out of food. Worst of all, they ran out of steak. We made it work and the wedding was ultimately beautiful, but Woodhouse Catering was horrible! Beyond horrible! The whole amount paid should be refunded.

A close friend's father passed away,…read moreand although we couldn't be at the funeral, we wanted to send something thoughtful for the family. Food always feels comforting in moments like that, and a charcuterie board felt just right. I reached out last minute, and the owner was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. She put together a beautiful board on short notice and ensured it was delivered the very next day. The presentation, quality of the food, and attention to detail were outstanding, but what stood out most was the genuine care and compassion behind the service. I can't recommend Bite by Bite highly enough. They made a difficult moment a little easier, and I'm so grateful.

The menu offers a nice variety and they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the evenings they have music. So yes--they are pretty much "the scene" for Powhatan and given they are always busy this seems to be for very good reason. Our server was super awesome and gave us many recommendations for the area. I explained I was local and wanted to know about all the good stuff. She gave me the scoop on the Vintage Shack. THANK YOU! Really, the food here was good, staff are friendly and care about their business, and it's a great place to relax and enjoy a decent meal!

I went Saturday and had the breakfast buffet and unfortunately I was disappointed with the quality…read moreof the offerings. Normally this buffet is usually very good with ample fresh breakfast foods but this time that wasn't the case. The bacon was way over cooked almost to the point of being burnt. The breakfast potatoes had some type of spicy seasoning on them that made it very hard to eat. The sausage gravy was like water gravy. And the grits were not completely cooked. In fact they got so many complaints that they took it off the line. Overall not a good value for a breakfast buffet over $12.00. This was the second Saturday that I experienced this level of cooking. But to be fair I did hear that they had a new line cook with little experience. That said I'll give it another try but if It's the same again then I'm afraid that will be my last visit.
