After reading the reviews here my wife and I decided to try this place for Sunday brunch. It was extremely disappointing. She ordered eggs benedict and the canadian bacon was rubbery and the english muffins were cold and soggy. We both got corned beef hash which essentially looked and tasted like the cheap canned stuff only they burned it. I had biscuits with sausage gravy and the biscuits were dry and cold under gravy that was very bland. To top all that off, there was a wait to get in! I'm baffled honestly. We were hoping for some really good food based on the reviews and the fact that there were people waiting to get in. In the end the only positive thing I can say about the place was that the staff was very friendly.

I reviewed this restaurant back last fall and unfortunately the restaurant managers must now read these postings.Although I've found breakfast to be pretty darn good (on most occasions) I have not seen any indication that this place has received any deep-down cleaning of any kind and it desperately needs it.Sometimes there are jars of homemade jam on the tables and they don't look like they're ever wiped off nor the other condiments. Also, there are a couple waitresses there that shouldn't be working there as they're always down-right rude. I guess they think they add to the charm of the place - who knows.Yes, this place is very popular for breakfast but I'd sure like to see them take a day and close down for some very much needed improvements in the restaurant in terms of ambience plus give it a very thorough cleaning from top to bottom (including the walls and window sills).I'll check back later and see if there's any improvement. Stay tuned.

I was looking for a decent breakfast place after work (Night Shift) a quick vicinity search pulled up Virginia Kitchen, Fresh squeezed OJ was great, Steak was cooked a little more then i requested but still close enough, it was a little bland and lacking, eggs were cooked well and home fries are decent, my wife had the country fried steak which was rather good (samn sides as mine) Overall the service was good, but you could find better food at a local IHOP which isn't saying much. 5 out of 10.

I've been going to Virginia Kitchen for the past 5 years. I had out of town guests in January and I raved to them about the food and the restaurant. We went there for breakfast and were sadly disappointed. The freshly squeezed OJ is always so good, but the breakfast of creamed chip beef was sout, my guest's eggs, omelts etc were tasteless and stale. My guest ponted out to me that the above ceiling fans were filthy, full of grease and dirt. I was horrified and embarrasses. I truly hope this all changes because I have really enjoyed going there up to this point.

My favorite breakfast place. I can go for a huge breakfast of waffles, eggs, hasbrowns, bacon or a simple breakfast of egg, fruit and banana nut bread. I can stick to the regular breakfast of eggs, meat, and hashbrown or be adventurous and go with one of the fancy specials. My last visit I went with my regular of two eggs, bacon, toast, and hashbrown. Bacon is crisp and the orange juice is fresh squeezed. The service is fantastic.
