Aunt Viv's Homestyle Cooking

We were travelling for a wedding and this place was perfect. I worked in the food industry for 10 years and have never had better bbq. If you want great food in this area stop for sure. You wont be disappointed.

The food is great!! Family recipes!!! Great Prices!! The staff is extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are happy and enjoy the food!! I will definitely be back for more amazing food!! Just had fried chicken and a pulled pork grinder. Amazing food!! The grinder very good sized. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with great flavor!!! I highly recommend getting the peach cobbler!!

My son and I were driving from Maine. to Virginia and wanted a good place to eat. After reading reviews about Aunt Viv's we decided to backtrack several miles to try it out. It was well worth the drive. Not only was The food excellent but the service was also outstanding. The owner was there and was such a lovely man. The catfish was the best I have ever tasted, The greens had a surprising kick and my son loved the pulled pork with fries. This place is a hidden gem.

Food was excellent. Not over priced for the meal. Btw, the fried wings are full of flavor. My mom and aunt came along with me and they loved it as well. Definitely worth returning. Staff is friendly and very helpful.

I was surprised by this because I've been to this place numerous times before and never tasted the Mac like this. I couldn't eat it, unenjoyable and wasted money. But other than that the sides and whiting is good. I also enjoy there wings! This is a great and appreciated soul food restaurant that was well needed in this area. There's not a lot of good and non expensive soul food places near by.

I've tried this place several times now. The owner is a nice guy and loves his cooking. Staff is friendly. However I will say I'm disappointed in their service, food quality, and prices. They charge an extra 3$ for certain meats such as catfish, brisket, and ribs. The sides are too small for the price. I believe a small side is 5$. They charge you extra for brisket however I'm not sure why because often it's served with little meat and it's mainly all fat. The catfish is definitely tasty, but you're charged an extra 3$ and the last two times I got it there was just one small fillet. I haven't had their ribs to comment but my friend enjoyed them. Be mindful of your order. They have forgotten items on me 3 out of 7 visits. Not fun when you live 30 minutes away. You should receive corn bread with your meals but they usually forget it if you don't remind them. A meal with 2 speciality meats and two sides with easily cost you nearly 25$. I don't know about you but I find this to be a bit pricey for a take out meal. The people are nice but wow don't expect to get in and out of there. Only once out of my 7 visits was it quick. Expect to wait. They are slow and order way in advance if you're working and ordering lunch. I ordered food prior to work and was told it'll be 15 minutes. Well I arrived 20 minutes later and I still stood inside for an additional 20 minutes. There were two other people in the place waiting for food. I'm not sure what they would do if it was packed! Order way in advance watch your order and request less fat if ordering the brisket. And it's not a place to go if you have kids to order for too. It would run you a pretty penny. This last visit really annoyed me and I'm probably not going back. Dickeys'- franchise- brisket is much better.

We are so happy to have such a nice, authentic home style meal available so close to our home!!! I don’t find the prices expensive at all, good quality food isn’t cheap. If you want cheap fast food go somewhere else...this place might take a minute to get an order ready but they are so busy and friendly that I don’t mind. You get what you pay for, and we hope that other people will help this business keep going for years to come!! Their bbq sauce is outstanding as well! Thanks again Aunt Viv’s, you will be seeing us again soon!!! Joe and Jess!

Hate leaving reviews like this because everyone at this place seemed nice but these things have to be said sometimes. I was told there would be a half hour wait for my order which was fine. The half hour wait turned into an hour When I got my order, the sides were wrong. My chicken was not cooked all the way and still pretty pink on the inside. I brought the food back to the restaurant. They corrected the issue but when I got my food back, one side was still wrong and I was missing another. I don't know if there was some kind of miscommunication but over all this was a pretty poor experience. Food was alright, nothing to rave about Good luck

Hello to everyone I came here with no expectations . The staff is extremely inviting and very cordial and just great people in general , They even let me try their food before I actually ordered it . This place comes very highly recommended if you like home style cooking that you would expect on your dinner table on a Sunday lunch . The food was beyond expectations ! This place will be getting a lot of money from me .. very highly recommended , if there's something that you especially like just ask them and they will try to accommodate you .. A+++++. Put it this way their food is so good when I go there to eat I go buying food for the next couple days .

This is a great family run restaurant. I had there pulled pork sandwich with homemade barbecue sauce, broccoli coleslaw and banana pudding. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was also very friendly. I most highly recommend Aunt Viv's, go visit her!
