The Virginian

This place is a true Cville staple and a big part of what makes UVA feel like UVA, which is why it’s getting four stars instead of three. It’s kind of funny to think about the fact that I ate at the very same table that my friends and I have stood on during a Friday night out. Regardless, the food was solid. The real highlight—truly excellent—was the mac and cheese!! It was perfectly creamy, and using pepper jack cheese was such a great choice.

Stick to the bar food or burgers. Do not order an entree or “signature” plate. Very sad. Worst plate I ever saw— crab cakes. It looked like shoe fly pie and taste was not far from that. We’ve had hundreds.. from Maryland and know these are “Virginia” but not even a real meal. This is closer to a prison loaf. Bourbon Chicken also should be removed from the menu. Cobb salad was great, how can you screw that up? Great service and vibe.

Still very reminiscent of a bar and restaurant founded in the early 1900’s. The atmosphere was very good. Has an upper and lower level. The food is amazing! Great choices. Our food came out hot, fast, and correct. Service at first was very good. It tapered off after our food was served. There are a few TV’s, but not considered a sports bar. Price was reasonable at about $30 a person. We did not partake in any drink specials. Dinner menu starts at 5PM.

Gameday traffic doesn’t slow this place down. Friendly and quick service when it was packed. Grabbed a quesadilla and a Happy Dad. Julia was great behind the bar

Excellent food large portions ! We had the baby back ribs , steak and cheese sub, chicken tenders for our son , potato soup was amazing, along with the mashed potatoes and gravy and salad as our sides . We will be back very soon! I raced about the food to our server ! 20/10!!!
