On a trip from the mountains of VA back to NC, we stopped in for a quick bite! We knew of this place from their well known peanuts but decided to give it a try! Overall I was impressed! The pricing was pretty cheap considering the quality of the food! They had a buffet as well but I had a philly cheese steak. The waitress was incredibly kind and was constantly ensuring that my party was taken care of! Would definitely stop by!!

Stopped here with a friend for Sunday lunch. Heard about this place from being on TV. It's good southern home cooking to me. Enjoyed the meatloaf, Mac and cheese, and collards. Nothing fancy but worth the money. Nice little store in front as well. Service was quick and food out fast. If ever here again, I will definitely be returning.

Very nice restaurant that we discovered almost by chance, reading the signs along the road but that would have been a pity to miss! The BBQ pork is very good along with a large choice of sites (try the sweatened yam and the carrot soufflé that is very original) Thanks a lot for the quality of the menu and of the service, and especially the kindness of Jevonne.

Conveniently located right off of 460 in Wakefield Virginia this restaurant has it all from a buffet down to the locally grown peanuts. The food was amazingly delicious and our waiter Nae was super awesome! She made sure we were taken care of and was there for every need which made the Virginia Diner experience amazing. Everything that we ate was so delicious. The sweet potato casserole, bread pudding, and the peach cobbler was so good I had to reframe myself from eating too much. Next time you're in Wakefield Virginia driving down 460 be sure to stop at the Virginia Diner

Homestyle cooking, hearty portions with something for everyone. Between the 4 of us: we had liver and onions broiled scallops, and a club sandwich. Fried pickles as an appetizer, and the sides included fries, mashed potatoes, candied yams, spiced apples, and Mac & cheese. I don't think any of us left any food on our plates. We planned on trying dessert but everyone was too full. Wish I wasn't just passing thru: I'd love to come back!

Probably the best smoked brisket of my life. Potato salad as good as my Grams and seasoned green beans you just don't get from restaurants. And homemade Banana Pudding to round out the meal.

Welcoming diner. Plenty of parking - even with a camper. Service was pretty good. Biscuits and gravy was good. Big, fluffy biscuits and hot gravy. Potatoes were old and cold. :( They need to know how to "scramble" an egg. :( Hubby got fried eggs, and were really good. Ham is always delish. Grits had zero seasoning, and were so watery. Literally like they added water to done grits. :( Tea and coffee were both good. Got peanut pie to go. Staff were really nice. restrooms were clean.

1st time going an had Pulled Pork with 3Sides & a appetizer of onion rings there. Went home had (3)Sandwiches (The Pork). Compliments of My Son Trent!!! Is a Very Nice Food an Service. No issues for my 1st visit !!!! This Place is Historical I've been hearing about this place since I was a kid just never made it here and they didn't Disappoint One Bit !"Bet This" 💯✌🏼

This is the second time I have stopped here to eat. The first time, we had the buffet and way before I was participating in Google Reviews. From what I remember, the buffet was excellent. This stop the cheese burgers we ordered looked great but were not delicious at all. Not fresh (frozen patty) and tatsed weird. I could not finish mine. The service was top notch! The establishment was clean and comfortable.

Easy to find with plenty of parking. Has a real welcoming feeling. Staff made our dining experience feel like we were family. Forgot to take pics of our Liver & Onions with Collards and Potato salad, Famous Fried Chicken with Green Beans & Mashed Potatoes w/ Brown Gravy but believe me, it was very tasty down home cooking. Desserts were great as well. The Peanut Pie (pecan but with peanuts) surprisingly very good. The Apple Pie was outstanding as well. Free peanut samples too. Their roast is a bit different and provides a crisper crunch which I really liked.

Food was good, portion sizes were great 😃 , I was thrown off by the texture of the spoonbread but the taste was there. It was a full house so service was a bit slow, as to be expected.

It’s a famous diner that everyone knows. Came on Sunday for lunch there are a lot of people dining after church. There’s a store front selling Virginia peanut products and the back is the restaurant, quite large space nothing fancy just a typical diner set up. There’s buffet option and also a la cart, buffet has a lot of options as well I would go for buffet next time as it has less wait time. Good selections from a la cart menu, and they made to order so it took a while if you have time to wait. The portion of the food are huge. None of us could finish what we ordered. Food is delicious. Service was slow, we were not given straws and nowhere to find our waitress.

The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The bacon was top notch. The service was warm and professional. We've been here several times. This was our first visit for breakfast. I've never been disappointed. The food is always delicious with good hearty portions.

Homey atmosphere, ham biscuits were delicious. First time for Brunswick stew it was tasty. Rail car burger was delicious.

Best country fried steak I've had in forever. Real southern cooking with food coming out relatively quickly! We were sitting as a table of five for about... 15 minutes or so? The entire order came out around then for all of us and food was delicious! I 100% recommend this place!

First time here…..we had the BLT and BBQ sandwich…both were yummy. The pies are the best part! Great down home place and service. Will be going back to try the fried chicken that looked amazing! Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star —-front staff was not very personable and it felt awkward…more training is needed. Other than that the foot and waitress was amazing!

While traveling from Chesapeake VA to Roanoke VA on 460 I kept seeing signs for the Virginia Diner, the pictures of food and desserts did the trick. I entered the town of Wakefield Virginia, the peanut capital of the world. I found the Virginia Diner, which has been in business for over 90 years. It was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and dives. I came to the parking lot and realized there wasn't room for my truck, I took a chance and took the side road behind the building and found a huge parking lot big enough for my truck and maybe three or four others. I made my way to the front door, walked inside and was surprised to find a brightly lit, clean modern dining area that was full of happy people being served by happy people. My waitress Kay, gave me a smile, a menu and took my drink order. I decided I was going to get my money's worth today. There were lunch specials, a la carte and the buffet. I chose the latter and am glad I did. The salad was fresh and the ingredients were normal buffet salad fixings, spring mix, tomatoes, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, slaw, peppers and all the necessary things you need. Kay brought me my 1000 Island. A unique concept, it left more room on the buffet table for fixings and kept it much cleaner with no mess from spillage.+++ Them the fun began, I went back to the buffet to find fresh fried chicken, ham, corn souffle green beans deviled eggs and meat balls in a sweet marinara sauce. I returned to the table to find soft yummy yeast rolls and real butter waiting. 1. Ham, tasty sliced baked ham. 2. Fried chicken, crispy breaded, white meat, soft juicy flavorful(good). 3. Green Beans, cooked just right, flavorful. 4. Corn Souffle, I don't know who invented this dish but it was so good it was like chocolate candy on Christmas morning. 5. The deviled eggs tasted just like my grandma used to make. 6. Meatballs, these were so tasty, so savory, so good. I wish there was some pasta, I even went back to look, but no. I asked Kay about it and she shook her head. I got an idea to make little mini meatball subs with the soft yeast rolls. So Kay brought me more rolls, the meatballs were so good. I went back and got seconds. There was also a baked barbecue chicken that was fall off the bone delicious.... I ate so much of this good food, there was no room for dessert. Now I ain't no Guy Fieri, but I do know good food when I run into it, so I suggest you all run to the Virginia Diner, it's well worth the visit, I guarantee it.

Ordered 2 burgers . Order was wrong. Server took it back to kitchen. Brought it back and it was still wrong. Burgers also VERY small. Not recommended. Server was great and manager handled it but overall would not recommend nor go back. This was our very first and last experience at the diner.

A great restaurant we would visit often when we lived in Virginia. Great food, great service, real country cooking and plenty on your plate for a fair price. The buffet selections made a great Brunch in every respect. We would always get some peanuts and peanut brittle in the Restaurant Store , the unsalted dry roasted are the best VA peanuts around. Now that we live in Florida, we regularly order peanuts from their on line store and always have fast reliable delivery with every order. Great place for food and peanuts!

The coffee, food, and service were excellent. We only had ham biscuits and cheese grits. Large portion grits! The grits had to be seasoned, which is fine. The diner had a full breakfast buffet set out. Everything looked good. A gift shop is in the lobby. It features cheese straws and peanuts. All items were packaged nicely and looked appetizing. I would recommend for sure. The price was reasonable.
