Tags: Southern
Situated on King Street just a block north of Marion Square, Virginia’s serves up classic home-style Southern fare — think chicken and dumplings, brown sugar glazed ham, and fried chicken with all the fixin’s, which includes Hoppin’ John, Carolina Gold Rice, and baked sweet potatoes. The dark wooden tables, exposed brick walls, and old paintings and portraits with gold trim make you feel like you’re dining in a grand South of Broad home. The dessert menu features classics like pecan pie and key lime pie with raspberry coulis. And whether you’re there for dinner or supper, don’t miss our local favorites: okra soup, tomato pie, and Lowcountry boil. —Eric Doksa
