    This restaurant has a nice welcoming feeling to it. The staff was really friendly and the mimosas were amazing. The only reason that this establishment does not get a higher rating from me is because there were not any pescatarian/vegetarian options for my wife and I. Not an ideal place to eat if on a special diet.

    Really great food in the historic district of Petersburg! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was super nice and attentive. Parking is iffy because there is a small lot near the restaurant and then the rest is street parking. The Pimento Cheese BLT was my favorite! Highly recommend this place

    Awesome customer service & fresh tasting food! I had two cocktails as well that were nice and boozy with fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was delicious!

    Great little spot. I made it just in time to get served before they shut the kitchen down at one. My French toast and bacon was wonderful. At a time when I have had to wait better than 30 minutes for my meal, I got mine in less than 10. Hot and delicious. The serving staff are friendly and helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. inside and outside dining, and pups welcome.

    Service is amazing very cheerful, smiley, and positive. I thought I figured out the owner but all the ladies have the same vibe of helpfulness and caring. The food was fresh and hot. We got the Cheese Steak Smash, the Cuban Smash, and perfectly seasoned fries. Must go! We'll be back.

    We made a reservation for brunch to celebrate my upcoming birthday and let me tell you, it was the best experience!! We’ve gone to Alibi many times for the nighttime bar festivities but I’ve always wanted to go for brunch to try their cereal French toast and mimosas! When we got there we were greeted by staff and seated immediately. Two of our guests were running a little behind but nothing too crazy. Once our final person made it (probably 20 minutes into our reservation), a waitress came up and apologized that nobody had come to serve us yet and that she would be glad to take care of us. We placed our drink orders and the next thing you know, our drinks our being served to us by our waitress and the owner Kat. Kat was so sweet and kept apologizing for the delay and thanked us for our patience by comping our drinks for us. Not only was that awesome of her but she was SO sweet coming to us personally to apologize! The Caribbean mimosa was out of this world and the food was AMAZING!! I’m a waffle girly myself but I ordered the famous fruity pebble French toast and let me just say…. I inhaled it. So everything about my birthday brunch was amazing and I can’t thank the staff enough for that 🩷 We will be returning within the next few weeks!

    Cute little place. Took a very long time to get our food because they were short-staffed but they comped us a meal which was so sweet. The service was very nice and helpful with what to order. The food and mimosas were good. Great brunch place!

    Thank you for a yummy lunch! The cheese steak sandwich was delicious and the flight of mimosas was spectacular! The staff were on par! They all worked together as a team. I left two painted rocks for someone to enjoy. I painted the flower rock and I previously found the rainbow rock at a park.

    Had the buffalo wings and they were delicious! Crispy, tasty, not too spicy! Then had Nashville hot chicken sandwich: fantastic! Spicy, saucy, the bun was even good, and great coleslaw! We tried a few of the "crush" drinks and I would absolutely recommend any of them. I love the fresh squeezed orange juice in them, they went down way too easy! Fun and very friendly atmosphere, it seems like everyone knows everyone here. Very mixed crowd of patrons and I loved it. Feels like a place where anyone could fit in. The service was outstanding, attentive and caring. Most definitely will be back.

    The service was great! We loved the environment they have there! I would recommend old Towne to anyone who has been yet! We got the country fried steak and we both fell in love with it.

    The mixed cocktails and crushes were better than the food. Great service from our waitress. My friend was not a fan of the batter on the fried green tomatoes. Portions were huge for the salad and steak hibachi fries. Interesting Asian fusion dish. Flavor was a little underwhelming and had a sweetness to it. Laid back casual atmosphere. Great place to gather for drinks and bar type food. Would come back to try different drinks and entrees on the menu.

    Highly recommended. 👍🏻 The food and service are exceptional. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

    Great menu, even better weekly specials. Beer bucket for $15 is the greatest deal around.

  • 4/5 Eze- O. 2 years ago on Google
    The best was our server. She was very intuitive and helpful. The location and the vibe is awesome also. The food is okay. Fries seem to be frozen. The portions kind of small for the price (specially the sliders - only 2. Usually you expect to see 3) And a takes a while to get your food… Still! Taking that out it was great to have one of the long family tables, with games and a relax atmosphere.

    Favorite Local Brunch spot. Delicious bloody Marys and yummy Irish coffee. The fried green tomatoes are so good! They always have fantastic specials!

    Saw this lovely restaurant on the news and made the 30.minute drive. Well worth the trip. Brunch was wonderful. The brunch board was amazing and we got the small one along with the egg salad BLT and the cinnamon toast crunch French toast. Everything was great. Our server Kalah was warm and friendly and a pleasure to spend time with. Looking forward to Loco Kitty opening soon.

    I absolutely love this place! It’s so worth the drive from Richmond. There’s never been a bad experience and the food is incredible. The fact it’s owned by a phenomenal person who does so much for the community is a huge plus.

    Enjoyed brunch here over the weekend. Quick service, friendly staff and great food. I got the fried green tomato BLT and added pimento cheese. SO good!

  • 5/5 laflorestudios 5 months ago on Google
    The burger was one of the best I have had, juicy meat, fresh veggies, and crisp bacon. They even cooked the caramelized the onions for me. And the pasta salad was amazing, it reminded me of my time in Italy. The pricing for the meals is very affordable, roughly 15$ per person. 10/10 reccomend this place. Will be dining again there very soon.

    Cool place, nothing fancy, but busy so obviously busy. Good food and drinks. Surprised how cool Old Town Petersburg was to hang out. If you haven't been to that area, give it a try.

  • 5/5 Richard K. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an awesome place with great staff to go with it. Definitely a must try if your in the area great food items and great drinks atmosphere for everyone.

    My favorite gem in old Towne! Currently having lunch here & the Staff will always make you feel welcome, and will take great care of you. Every week there’s something new and fun on the schedule. We frequent at least once a week and it’s never a disappointment. Highly recommend!
