“Emporia, VA - the best Five Guys! The staff is so friendly and nice, they even brought out a fork to my vehicle when they saw I didn’t grab one for a burger bowl. Robert L on the register was so friendly. Recommend stopping there if you’re ever going through Emporia.”

“This is exactly what you want in a small town diner. It's nothing fancy, but it has a varied menu, attentive and friendly service, and great food at really low prices. You can tell this place is good because it's busy, and all the locals seem to eat here. If you find yourself in Emporia -- highly recommended!”

“Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon once we finished up a softball tournament in Emporia. We shocked the staff with a party of 30, mostly 9 year olds, with no warning. The staff handled themselves and the situation with the utmost professionalism that was greatly appreciated by our entire party. I'm fairly certain we were in and out in less than an hour and a half. To me, that speaks volumes to the leadership of the place. The food was great. Service was great. The atmosphere was perfect! The other parents and myself couldn't have been more pleased with our experience and we will definitely return when we are in the area again! My 3 year old throughly enjoyed the wings!”

“We are traveling, stopped in Quiznos for lunch. Met the nicest 2 young men! They did a great job of handling a crowd and fixed our subs to order very quickly. They were friendly, and welcoming. The food was fantastic! You want to make this Quiznos one of your favorites! Thank you, gentlemen!”

“This is a pretty run-of-the-mill Subway good for stopping at on a road trip. The service staff was nice and did their job and the food was good. I liked that it was connected to bathrooms and a separate convenience store. Great place to refuel yourself when you're refueling at the gas station next door.”
“Clerk at counter very nice very helpful in informing us of menu, her interaction will us was awesome great customer service skills, I didn't get her name but she is a very nice person, we would come back for her and the chicken....”
“Ms Hines is really sweet & funny. Food was prepared very well, no long wait time & good prices. I had the meatloaf dinner with cabbage, mashed potatoes, a roll and a canned soda. Highly recommend!!!Update: Ms Hines did it again!! Potato Soup with crackers for a chilly day with banana pudding for dessert! Very good!!”

“"Decent Italian near intersection of I-95 and VA-58 in Emporia" Right beside a gas station and a motel on VA-58, right off I-95 in Emporia, sits this little spot. I'd driven by it many times and usually hit up the decent Mexican place in the motel next door, but my family wanted Italian, so we tried it. It did not disappoint. The place has pizza and lots of Italian standards, and it's very brightly lit with a few of much of the kitchen from the entry counter. As we entered, it was a little unclear whether we were supposed to order at the counter or be seated, so we ordered at the counter and then they asked us to take a seat and pay afterwards. The folks were friendly, and service didn't take too long. I ordered a chicken parmigiana, and my family got similar dishes. Food came out in maybe 10 minutes. The quantity was LARGE. I got many pieces of chicken, a heaping amount of spaghetti, and a side-salad with bleu cheese dressing. The salad was pretty standard -- nothing fancy. I liked the chicken parm and spaghetti sauce. The sauce was a little sweet, which I like, but my wife was less pleased with the sweetness of the sauce on her dish. Price was fair-- it's not dirt-cheap Italian, but it was also better quality than that. The chicken parm was something like $17, which for the quantity and good quality, is reasonable. This'll be in our rotation when we drive through that area in the future!”

“We found this place on Google Maps while driving south on 95. Google Maps shows it as brick and mortar, but Yelp shows as food truck. When we arrived we didn't realize it was a food truck and almost didn't stop. Please don't let that fool you. Big Pig bbq is fantastic. I had the daily special which was fried catfish, Mac and cheese, baked beans, and hush puppies. Wife had bbq sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING was great! Fish was cooked to order and was some of the best I've ever had. Service was friendly and prompt. Fried foods are cooked to order and take a little while, but definitely worth the wait. Outdoor seating area was covered picnic tables. If this place was close to home we'd be there regularly.”

“BEST BURRITO EVER!!It was a little hard to find, unfortunately our gps took us to the building next door, and unfortunately no signs out front. However once we found it, omg! I ordered the burrito Victoria, it had beef, shrimp, and chicken in it, along with rice and all kinds of ingredients. The biggest burrito ever!! However it was by far the best tasting burrito that I've ever eaten! And I've had a lot of burritos in my time, this is a great place to grab a cheap quick bite. They have $4 meals!!! So perfect! Affordable and yummy can't beat that! Definitely will be back again and again!”

“I received the best iced blonde latte on Sunday from this location. I haven't had much luck with coffee shops making it the way I prefer since moving to the area 4 years ago. Thank you, Franklin Starbucks!”
“Happened upon this delightfully delicious bakery and it's owner by luck. Owner was delightful . Loved that she shared the history behind the building that houses her incredibly delicious confections. We were passing through which is unfortunate as it means there will be no opportunity to enjoy more of what I chose or to try other detectible items.”
“We were on our way from Busch Gardens Williamsburg filming for our channel and randomly found this diner… loved the ambience.. very friendly staff and great reasonably priced menu …. I had a chili cheese dog (the hot dog was red .. never tried those before) and a hot grilled ham and cheese with French fries … Rock had Philly Cheesesteak with Onion Rings. Total cost for all that food and 2 soft drinks was $27. They had homemade pies… but we were too full for dessert.. thanks to all the ladies working and making our first and probably only visit!!”
“Highly recommended by me Tony Z The Mercedes-Benz Guy!! Bought my winning Power Ball and Mega Millions Tickets here!! Feeling very Lucky!! #Lucky”

“The restraunt is currently carryout only but the dining room is pretty spartan anyway. Everything I've tried from there has been tasty and is prepared very quickly. The hot and sour soup is outstanding and made from scratch for every order. The downside is that I like my Chinese spicy and although I ask for extra spicy, my request is somehow lost in the translation. Still, I continue to get carryout there and the food is a good value.”

“The Wendy's in Emporia, Virginia was the only restaurant open at 10pm, and they only served through the drive thru. I ordered the Cobb Salad and a lemonade. Both were surprisingly good. The Cobb Salad was quite a good sized portion. ??”

“This Hardee's food is Always good and fresh and fixed correctly the first time. Service was ok, had a young guy training, and he forgot my grandsons biscuit. ?... But the manager on duty made sure he got it. Atmosphere was just bleh. It was clean, but it's dreary. No music, or anything special about the inside”

“While there was a really nice guy sweeping the floor, the soda machine had stuff thrown all around, and there was dried up, sticky soda all over the place. Food was good though, and the servers were friendly.”

“Stopped in during my drive from NY to FL. It's a prime location with alot of fast food choices. The manager was walking around and checking on customers and creating friendly discussions. Not normal for your typical McDonald's. He came by and asked for my order number to check in on it. A few minutes later he brought it over for me. The nuggets were piping hot and crispy and so we're my fries.This location also has a small playground for kids which is cool. I'd come back.”

“I've never been to a Pizza Hut Express before, but I assume the only difference is the size of the restaurant, and the options available. I ordered 2 personal pan cheese pizzas and an order of bread sticks, which she said would take about 10 minutes, but I feel like I only waited maybe 5, and everything was delicious!! It was an unexpected treat on a VERY long trip back home to Florida!”
