We got the bacon wrapped shrimp for an app. and it was phenomenal. The shrimp was giant, and the bacon was tightly wrapped and cooked to perfection. I wish it had came with some sauce though! My boyfriend got the burger, which was very very dry to the point where it was burned. Im not sure if thats the way of cooking it, or we just got a very well-done burger. I would give that a 2.5/5 because the flavor was good. The fries that came with it were delicious! Thin and crispy, reminds me of mcdonalds fries kind of. I ended up with the Rueben and it was delicious! I have had many rubens in my life, that one hands down was the best one I have had. Always get extra sauce on the side! It was packed with ,eat, that was more chopped than shaved, piled high, and the sauce was amazing. It was giant and perfectly cooked. I would go back just for that. Overall, besides the burger everything was great. We will go back!

Tavern on the James is a strange contradiction: it has all of the unfortunate elements of being a…read morebig-city spot and also all the unfortunate elements of being a small-town spot. I came here with a friend after an ill-fated tubing trip hoping to drown our woes with some good food and drink. Instead, we got subpar food at crazy prices, and I didn't even grab a drink they were so expensive. This was extremely surprising since, and no offense to the folks who live here, but Scottsville isn't really close to anything, it's a small town with no real claim to fame. I begrudgingly got a Reuben (which was $16!) and I can tell you as a Reuben-afficionado: it was not world-class. In fact, I would put up a generic Arby's Reuben against this any day. The experience itself was unfortunate: our server made virtually no call-backs, with my drink remaining empty for half our meal. To top that off, the restaurant has its smoking area adjacent to the patio area, so that was a nice aroma to add. I strongly recommend against Tavern on the James, it preys on folks who have no other local options. Skip it, drive if you have to. Overall: 1.0 star --- Pros: - Interesting interior decor, and the patio looks nice. Cons: - High prices for substandard fare, and the drinks are no cheaper. - Service is poor and inattentive. - Parking lot is weirdly arranged. - Overall experience was generally unpleasant and clearly conveyed a "you can't do better nearby" atmosphere.

On top of that the waitress flips the tip screen and you feel obliged to comply with 17 per cent tax. The use of your credit card added another tax food: the she crab soup was too thick and greasy.

At Bentleys those practices are written in tiny little print I dare anyone to be able to read without glasses- at end of menu.

Four of us grabbed dinner at Dr Ho's Humble Pie this past Friday after we got situated at our…read moreweekend getaway in the area. We weren't sure what this restaurant would be like, since we drove through a dark and narrow road to get there. Much to our surprise, this was a full sit-down experience, and we had to wait 30-40 minutes to be seated. We decided to share the TRIPLE THREAT COMBO! (49.99) which comes with cheesy garlic bread (their signature!), one large salad, and one large specialty pizza. This was a lot of food, and we had enough leftovers to feed another mouth and half. THE FAT AND SASSY Their menu claims that this is the "best garlic cheese bread ever". And indeed it was because I wolfed down seven pieces of that bread within 15 minutes. I love that this was practically a pizza -- round pizza dough topped generously with cheddar and whole cloves of roasted garlic. The cheesy grease and pungent aromatic flavors exploded in my mouth. After seven pieces, I knew I had to stop because there was other food to come. CAESAR SALAD This was a typical Caesar salad with above average Caesar dressing, but there was just way too much of it mixed in. Besides that, pretty solid! I would ask for the dressing on the side in the future. THE HEAVY HAND This is Dr Ho's version of the Meat Lovers pizza, which was topped generously with sopressata, capicola, Italian sausage, and other ingredients like shaved onions, mushroom, and variety of cheeses. We got this one because we wanted more protein, but unfortunately, with the amount of cured meat that was slathered on, it was overbearingly salty. After my first slice of pizza, I started taking meat off my slice because it was too much. Overall, 3.5/5, but bumping to a 4/5 because we were pretty sure we would have had a better experience if we chose a different pizza. Still, I'm happy we got to try a restaurant in the Charlottesville area that is popular and well-loved by locals. Also, fantastic pricing with honestly the best cheesy garlic bread I've ever had. I would recommend getting here ASAP especially during the weekends because they don't take reservations or call ahead orders for dine in.
