My first visit, my husband has been several time. Wonderful, home cooking food. Large selection of southern sides, delightful!Husband says best fried catfish heâs had. I had fried shrimp. Oh my they were large shrimp and got 12 on the plate. Some of the best yams I have ever eaten. Very small inside so get there early if you plan to eat in! Service great, prices in line.

Historical building, halfway between Richmond and Petersburg, VA. Visited by George Washington and fellow patriots. Food was outstanding, service was superior. We were a large group and were in the dining room upstairs there was also a basement area. My favorite were the cinnamon rolls!

Husband and I stopped for a late dinner. Waiter was very nice, offered us food item suggestions. He had ribs brisquet and chicken 2 sides. I pulled chicken platter 2 sides. The lady that brought our food was super nice. My husband asked her for a knife he dropped on floor. Then he wanted more sauce, without skipping a beat she filled his request and was very happy to do so. Was nice to see even though she was not our server she still took care of the guests demands. On the way out we received a free bottle of sauce for being a first time guest. Great non chain resturant..please support by stopping in.

Our menu is filled with classic American dishes like steak, salmon, burgers, sandwiches and salads, as well as other traditional favorites like slow-roasted prime rib and our famous chicken tenders, all at a great value.

We were traveling and decided to stay overnight in Chester, Virginia. We asked the desk clerks at the hotel for a restaurant recommendation and they were enthusiastic about O'Charley's.We ordered the Peach Chutney Chicken and the Seafood Combo Platter. The chicken entree had peach chutney, broccoli, and mashed sweet potato. The chicken breast was a fairly good size. The peach chutney was good and the sweet potato and broccoli were fresh. The seafood combo was very large. It had fried shrimp, imperial stuffed crabs, and cod. The platter is served with coleslaw and french fries.Rose was our server and she was very personable and knew the menu well.The seafood combo platter was reasonably priced and the chicken was very reasonable. The total bill with tax, tip, and beverage was less than $40.O'Charley's is a chain restaurant that has a diverse menu. The food is similar to other chain restaurants with respect to quality and price. This O'Charley's is located near the other restaurants and stores at the intersection of Jefferson Davis Highway, US Routes 1 and 301, and W Hundred Road, Virginia Route 10. The restaurant is north of Route 10 on the west side of Route 301 near several other restaurants.

We were staying around the corner at the LaQuinta Inn and after a long drive, needed a good meal. We were not disappointed. The Halfway House delivered! The service was wonderful, the homemade bread and spread were delicious. We had the artichoke hearts appetizer and they were very light and tasty, as was the dipping sauce that accompanied them. I had the rack of lamb and it was cooked to perfection and a very nice portion. I wanted dessert but was too stuffed, unfortunately. I noticed some of the reviews said it was overpriced.... If you're looking for a great meal and know what good food is, the Halfway House is definitely worth every dime, and then some. Enjoy.

A rustic and homey atmosphere serving up Southern favorites from hand-breaded catfish and pork chops to our award winning brisket and baby back ribs...letâs not forget about our fresh, never frozen hand-chopped BBQ!
Reviewed By Fadipadi
Tender brisket, amazing ribs and homemade side dishes to die for. The sauce is mildly sweet with a little spice. Hush puppies are elongated which makes them easier to eat. The butter for the hush puppies was âPromiseâ - keeping you heart healthy. Service was prompt. For desserts, the banana pudding was good and served in a pretty bowl. The apple cobbler- what was that mess? Ice cream was on one saucer and the cobbler was upside down in a styrofoam bowl-cafeteria style. But Iâll be back anytime Iâm in the area.We love hearing a great review! See you again next time.

I frequently choose Howlett's for business lunches. Therestaurant is nicely appointed and the atmosphere is pleasant and quiet so that it is an ideal place for quiet discussions. The food is very well prepared and served at appropriate temperatures. Service is always very good and prices are reasonable priced. The menu has good variety. They frequent offer buy one, get one half price specials. There is rarely a wait for seating.

Love to come here in the spring and summer when they have live music on the patio, Thursdays are our favorite when Rich Moore performs. Met here with a large group, super friendly, helpful staff. The wedge salad is the best, but the seafood is some of the best in the area. The cheesecake was delicious, as was the peanut butter pie.
