    Wonderful service by Cassandra! Bobby was also very helpful. Visited Second Sunday on King. They were busy, but the wait wasn't long at all. Fried ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and perfectly moist. The Carolina BBQ sauce was sweet and spicy, went very well with the ribs. Fried chicken was fresh and well-seasoned, per usual. (There's a disclaimer about the 18-min cook time on the menu.) Fried green tomatoes were piping hot in the middle with a crispy crust, served with a side of herby ranch. The brown gravy on the smothered pork chops tasted like it was sitting too long inside of the metal pot so that entree was replaced with shrimp and grits (not pictured). Staff were very accommodating and understanding. My main complaint -- it seemed as though their oil wasn't fresh, because everything we ordered fried had a burnt oil taste. Hope that makes sense. Would have given 3 stars, but the customer service was so great. I'll be back!

    I recently visited Virginia’s on King in Charleston, and it was an incredible experience. I had the meatloaf sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious—comfort food at its finest, with rich flavors and the perfect balance of ingredients. My girlfriend tried the double loaded potato special, and it was nothing short of amazing—creative, flavorful, and so satisfying. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere had that cozy Southern charm that makes you want to stay a while. Virginia’s on King is definitely a place we’ll return to for more incredible dishes and great hospitality. Highly recommended!

    Had heard a lot about Virginia’s and had it down as an option for breakfast/lunch. We were headed up in that area and decided to stop in. Atmosphere was great and so is the location if you’re moving around on upper king around the Bennett Hotel. I had shrimp & grits. It was a lot of food and I felt like the sauce/gravy was good. The grits were pretty wet but I thought they were good. My wife did not like them. She had the tomato pie and pimento cheese plate. The tomato pie was not good. Pimento cheese was average. Service was okay. She was pretty attentive but a little disconnected. Didn’t seem very inviting or personable. That’s not to say the service was bad. Just had a lot better but we hit a lot of spots in Charleston and most seemed to have great service. Probably wouldn’t return based on our experience but I’m glad we tried it. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from giving it a shot. Some of the other dishes looked fantastic. We had a lot of outstanding shrimp & grits on our stay so the standard was pretty high. And we had the best tomato pie ever a little further south on King so the bar was really high.

    Great, little local diner. The menu has a wide variety of options that look appealing. We were immediately seated on a Friday morning for brunch. Our waitress was so friendly. The food was homestyle cooking and everything was good. Would recommend for a convenient stop! The crab cakes Benedict were super good!

    CHEERS! What a great little bar. It reminds me of the quaint atmosphere of a Cheers-like place - everyone knows your name. I had the salmon with a Tabasco maple glaze and it was INCREDIBLE!! I had Mac-n-cheese for a side and slaw for another side. The MNC was dynamite! It had a great, rich, cheesy flavor with a thin crust of cooked cheese on it. The slaw was a mayonnaise and vinegar blend with a light flavor but tangy and good. The banana pudding looked great in case you want dessert. The service was fast and friendly.
