    This is a great little diner. Went here for breakfast with a couple of friends and it was quick, simple, and easy. Food was good and the prices were also good and service was relatively fast. It's a good spot for a little meal or like a stop before a road trip!

    My breakfast.

    Everything you'd want in a diner. I had eggs, grits, bacon, biscuits, orange juice, and coffee. All of it was top notch. Service was excellent.

    Villa Cheeseburger*

    This was my first time. Went at 11:00 am so I could have had breakfast or lunch. Decided to go with Cheese burger, onion rings. The hamburger was cook excellent. Medium well. Had to wait a little but it went fast. Server was always checking on me; very friendly.

    This is just a good ole diner. Food quality is good, service is good, ambiance is good, price is good. Nothing major to write home about here. If you want a solid breakfast at a good price point this place will do just fine. I haven't tried every menu item here but I feel like there really is no need too. Give it a shot. Even if the line is long. The place turns people over quick.

    Delicious food, extremely friendly service and a cute location. We loved it so much we went back two days in a row while in town for a wedding. We had breakfast items, lunch items and bought more than one pack of homemade cookies on the way out. Everything was fresh and tasty. Highly recommended if in Charlottesville!

    Good old fashioned American diner. My only wish is that this place opens 24/7! I don't think anything from here was bad! Definitely a place to chill

    Cute diner near the UVA campus. Delicious breakfast food. Nothing to write home about but very enjoyable experience from the comfortable environment to hospitable service to quality breakfast food. It is evident it's a local hotspot because it was packed on a weekday morning. Stop by!

    Deluxe breakfast-great! Eggs your way. Biscuits or toast. Hash browns or grits. Bacon or sausage. Served with a smile. Will go back.

Each meal is cooked by Shaun who is especially nice, friendly, and puts love into each dish he prepares. You can tell. Just take a breath when you walk in and take it in. Service is good, but like I said - its a one man operation so just be patience. The Fried Chicken and Devil Eggs are EXCELLENT. We would go back. Keep up the good job Shaun. Nicely done.

I tried the Babyback Ribs and Fried Chicken Soul Sandwiches. The Babyback Ribs were really good. The ribs are taken off the bone for the soul sandwich and plated on slices of potato rolls. The Fried Chicken was good but not the best I've had in Charlottesville. I would have liked the outside to be crispier. The cornbread that comes with the order was also good. It was not traditional cornbread-- it tasted like carrot cake corn bread. The Mac and Cheese was a little too overcooked for my liking. However, for the meat sandwich and two sides were a large portion and cost 12 dollars which was awesome. Overall, Soul Food Joint is a charming locally owned soul food place downtown. It wasn't the best fried chicken or barbecue that I've had in Charlottesville, however the food was good and the portions were great for the price.
