Well after her college graduation, we decided we should finally stop in and enjoy a meal. I called ahead of time, since it was about 7 of us, to see if there would be a long wait. The first girl I spoke with told me that they wouldn't be able to accommodate us and then put me on hold. Either the call disconnected or she hung up but I called back again and thankfully, the lady that answered told me that they'd be able to accommodate us with no issues. Once we arrived, there was a table available for us so we were seated right away. The staff were very friendly. Once we put in our drink orders, we were able to enjoy the buffet or order from their menu. We all decided on the buffet. The buffet included fried chicken, fried catfish, greens, green beans, potatoes, corn, ham, deviled eggs, a salad bar, brisket mac & cheese, lima beans, carrot soufflé and desserts, among other things. The food was delicious!!! I'm not a huge buffet person but the food was seasoned like a southern person was back there making it lol! My family thoroughly enjoyed their meals and we all went back for seconds lol. It did take some time for the server to refill our drinks but they explained that they were short staffed so we understood. The buffet is only open on the weekends, I believe, but it was only $19.99! Can you believe that?! If I lived closer, I would probably go to Virginia Diner once a month lol. The restaurant was very clean and the dining area was very spacious. The restaurant includes a nut shop when you walk in, so we all were able to grab a few different types of nuts before leaving. If you're in the area, definitely stop in! If the buffet was that good, I'm sure their other meals are even better!!!

I went here for a business dinner. I'm a foodie, and to be honest, when I looked at the menu, I…read morewasn't sure what to expect because it looked like an unfocused/random selection of dishes. However, I'm glad to say my instincts were completely wrong on this one. My business colleagues told me all the ingredients are locally sourced, and the based of taking diner food and making it a little more modern (without the pretentiousness). The space matches the concept - modern diner. I tried the following: - Daily Bread: Very good. Nothing like freshly bread and butter. - Spaetzle Mac & Cheese: Excellent. I've had spaetzle and and I've had mac & cheese, and this was as good as interpretation of mac & cheese I've ever had. A lot of my colleagues thought this was the most memorable dish of the night. - Pickled Things: Good. I always like trying new things, and pickled blueberries and fried saltines were new to me. Really nice surprises. - Daily NC Catch (Trout): Very good. Trout was just as perfect as can be with a nice crispy sear on the skin, and meat was still tender. The risotto underneath was good, but a bit over-seasoned. Service was incredible. The server was interactive, fun, attentive and doing a masterful job of single-handedly managing a table of over 12 people, which is never easy. Overall, a great meal. Really great food with service that made us feel like restaurant regulars. If I happen to visit Greenville NC again, I would definitely make sure to return.

We started with 1/2 dozen oysters (delicious) and an order of Pickled Things (really large enough for 4).
