Reviews of 17 South Family Restaurant (Restaurant)

Mike Eaton

Good food and service.

Manny Binford

Incredible food, helpful service, cute decorations, and excellent prices. Green beans are some of the best I've ever tasted and cobbler is to die for! I can't wait to come back here soon.

Leroy Mcallister

Good food. Hamburger Steak was delicious.

Roy Lewis

Breakfast was great. Service outstanding. Everything was just great

Doris Webb

Very good homestyle cooking

David Shaw

Some of the best bacon I ever had. Tappahannock area is not known for great food experiences, but this 17S breaks the mold. Had eggs, bacon, pancakes, and fried potatoes that were all great and reasonably priced. Decor is cute with weathered wood trimmed banquettes and local wall accents. I plan on stopping back sometime to taste their lunch menu.

Diane McLellan

Always have a good lunch here. Never leave hungry. Great service.

This was our 3rd time trying out this restaurant. 1st time was just New Years day mimosa's and a light brunch. Not a bad experience. 2nd time was a group of 11 of us, and everyone's food came out at different times. Like 10-20 mins apart. Food seemed good. One family member was disappointed with the amount of shells in his crab omlet. Picking the shells out was more work than it was worth. 3rd time was yesterday for my husband's birthday. I ordered the open face roast beef. Gravy was excellent. I have to say i have never been served roast beef like that before, unless it was on a lunch meat sandwich. It was seriously the thickness of sliced lunch meat that had been thrown on a grill to crisp it up. See attached pic. I've always had roast beef that is 1/4"+ thick and can be cut with a fork. This stuff was brittle, paper thin pieces cut in squares. My husband ordered the ribeye (around $34) and asked for it to be cooked "medium, just pink inside". What he received wasn't like any ribeye we had ever seen before. It was approx 1/2" thick. A ribeye for that price is thicker than that. The weirdest part is it was nearly blood raw on one end of the steak and cooked more than the medium he asked for on the other end. Don't even know how you do that. And it came out 10+ mins after my roast beef! I'm sorry, but this is a party of 2. Pretty sad to not be able to get the food delivered at the same time for a party of 2. While sitting there, my husband mentioned to me that all that food is going to be cold. He was noticing the plates of food that had been sitting on the counter to be served for several minutes at that point. We overheard the ladies next to us complaining that their collard greens were cold and sent them back. But they appeared to be friends of a few of the waitresses so they likely won't ever voice what they really think. Upon checkout, my husband noticed he was charged for the cheaper ny strip steak and not the ribeye he had ordered. Not sure if the waitress noticed he seemed unhappy and gave him a discount because of the delay in receiving the food. It would have been nice to know if his steak was substituted. The steak was disappointing for even a ny strip, if that's what he received. We did try to love this place. I feel they are just another NN Burger. They have just enough local people that will stay loyal to them no matter what, and that will keep them afloat.

Roger Hundley

Joseph Stacy

I had a rare sirlon steak. It was delicious, but tough as leather. It was even hadto Pierce with a fork. So sad for a traveler.

Gerald Collier

This was the first time me and my wife stopped to try out the restaurant. When we order I was told the where out of steak so my second choice was the crab cakes. They were awesome. The waitress was supper nice and so was the cashier. The only down fall to our visit was the cook, he had his underwear showing most of the time and I didn't feel that was appropriate because he was the cook. We will be back hope we don't have to see that again. Worth your time to try.

United Real Estate Admin

We would go back there again. Food is good, service was good.

Virginia Gamble

Very good food, very pricey and would expect better dressed employees as such. They largest steak dinner (48 oz) was $80. Why? Its tag line is "eat at the farm", but not farm prices. Still excellent food and unusual dishes and condiments.

Matthew Ellis

Amazing place, very friendly staff, and great food.

Derek J

Great food at great prices

Joshua Schroeder

Out of this world flavor. I had the seafood special, she had the BLT. My sides were Mac n cheese, fries. Hers were Brunswick stew and baked potato. There wasn't a bite we didn't love... The wine from the local Vinyard was a great pairing. They make a (blackberry?) butter that was so good we had to buy some to go. I can't believe how good this place was..unreal.

Edward Thornton

Wanda Mclennan

My husband and I have been to this restaurant before and enjoy it. When you can get a piece of their coconut cake take advantage of it. Yes, very moist.

Joyce Dillard

Nice place to go in the northern neck. Food was good though something we ordered wasn't ready, ever, so we got a free piece of cake. Overall definately will return

Awesome food

Heart Feathers

Customer service had a rocky start. I don't take issue with it taking awhile for us to be seated because it was crowded. However when we were finally seated our waitress walked away without taking our drink order, so we had to wait even longer to even get started. After that at least the customer service was good. Food was brought to us in about the amount of time you normally wait for food to be cooked. Unfortunately the food was not very good. The noodles in the Mac and cheese were soggy and the cheese was lumpy. The fries had no seasoning to them not even salt. The chicken was stringy and dry. Overall it was just meh.

Peter Bell

Love this place! Been in a few times for lunch and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. Can't wait to stop in for their new supper hours.

Jacki Schroeder

Ample portions. BBQ and burgers were great. Prices are good. Frozen fries but mashed potatoes were delicious! Staff could be friendlier.

Cropmadness Vance

The food was amazing! Best breakfast we have had in a while. One of our daughters is vegan and our server Abi went above and beyond to make sure she had enough to eat. We live an hour away and will definitely be coming back.

Sandra Nice

I have to say not as good as last time over cooked my steam shrimp had to send it back and the server said none of it was worth sending out not what I expected but my salad was great black,& blue _ the blue cheese not a fan my date ordered the hamburger steak & gravey and FD oysters he said the same not as good as the last time so I guess they need a little help in kitchen and the server needed more help with his memory but will try it again

Ann Delano

This eatery should be a must try for everyone. My hubby and I are not food critics but we LOVE to eat and we know good food and this place has GREAT food. The service we've recieved from Ashley has been above and beyond. Try 17 South, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Sheila Hammond

Did not have a good breakfast on Saturday... service was slow!! 10+minutes to get a waitress to come to table for coffee which was at best lukewarm ... the actual meal came 45 minutes later.... I understand lunch and dinner are good but I won’t try breakfast again.

It was very busy and very hot in Sunday. The staff was pleasant and worked very hard. I had a delicious omelet, my husband had a Reuben sandwich that was a little dry, but fabulous onion rings! Pleased with this experience and will return!

Roger Hutt

No salads , no hush puppies :( first time customer for my dads birthday and wasn't even asked if we'd like dessert, not a happy guy .

Deborah Wilkins

Food mediocre service lousy we were seated in front of the kitchen. Very noisy with loud voices will not return

Nick Horrific

One of the best dining experiences I've had, staff was very nice, restaurant was clean and appealing, and the food was unbelievably good. I ordered a 4 meat plate which was huge and came with two sides. Tried to eat the whole thing because it was so delicious and savory, but I had to get a box and take the rest home. I will be returning very soon.

Ruth Bracken

The food is Excellant and the prices are great! Service is also Excellant!

Sue Shearwood

Best crab cake I have ever had!

Allan Jordan

Good food, but higher priced. Also, slow service.

SAMUEL GOLDEN

Good country cooking but be close to a bathroom.

Laura S

We had high hopes for this place. Farm to table in the middle of a fast food wasteland sounds heavenly! Unfortunately, the steamed shrimp was not fresh (my wife has very decerning taste) and the burger, ordered as medium, was overcooked which ruins whatever fresh local beef flavor there was on offer. We did not bring this to their attention as nothing could be done about the shrimp and we wanted to get back on the road and didn't have time to wait for a corrected burger.

matthew sanders

Went there with a group of friends. I ordered the crab dip tortillas as a appetizer and it was a lot and delicious. I ordered the pork chops and they were the best I've had. Why go to richmond, when we have a gem just outside of Tappahannock. Everyones plate looked and tasted delicious in my group

Jessica Lou Ellen

The best southern food around! They have a large menu with a wide variety of items to select from. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Penny Geiger

This restaurant is an experience. Such a cozy , down home ambience with good comfort food. A super restaurant to look forward to on a trip going 17 South between Tappahannock & Port Royal . Pristine clean & interesting decor.

Wanda allen

Great family restaurant. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Sherry Pardon

Had dinner there for the first time and ordered stuffed rockfish. It was delicious and all the side were too. Good service and clean. It's a small place so it can be noisy at peak dinner times and it was very warm inside. But I will go back again.

Kenneth Geffers

Very good

Nicholas DeCanio

Just stopped here on our way up to Maryland. Really great food, nice staff, and an overall great restaurant.

Stopped in when I saw a line of pickups in the lot. Figured it had to be good and it was. Great omlete and sausage. Coffee was a good brew strength. I will stop again.

Jennifer Braun

Staff were very welcoming. Was seat yourself at the time. Service was attentive and fast while not rushed. Very casual, tasty desserts on display everywhere. Food was fresh, homey, and comforting. Pay at the counter for first timers!

Donald Morrow

Food was cold

Toray Bryant

Service was off the chain great food

lisa clinger

Extremely friendly place breakfast was delicious .

Jessica Chamberlain

Friendly service and great food. My husband's steak was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. My Reuben was great but thought they buttered the bread too much before grilling. Delicious regardless. We'll be back!

Chip Noland

Great stop on 17 between Port Royal and Tappahannock. We travel this route several times and found this to be a refreshing change from the usual stops close to here. The service was very quick and friendly. The restaurant was inviting and clean. We ate cups of Brunswick stew, chicken salad sandwiches and they served Devils Backbone lager. This is comfort food in a decent, traveler friendly environment.

Donald Wyant

Great food friendly service. Would stop again.

Coleman Courtney

Always good food and service. The restaurant is clean, the menu is clear and the music is not too loud. It is easy to walk in and feel welcome whether your are dining alone or with others.

Jacqueline Ambroe

Outstanding service and food. Hands down best crab cakes around. Highly recommend this charming restaurant.

Mike Rash

Great. Fresh. Delicious! What else do you really need on this extremely boring stretch of 17?

Michele Oshman

Sorry to post a bad review but this place does not live up to its farm-to-table claims. It serves mediocre diner food at best. And the prices were higher than the experience merited. My crab cake platter consisted of a flat, salty mashed lump of crab meat, a half filled cup of cold baked beans and another half filled cup of CANNED green beans. My sister got a thin, fried hockey puck cheeseburger with okay-tasting Mac and cheese. The sweet tea was only slightly sweet. The best thing served was my sister’s Mountain Dew. There was no pretense of any kind of plating and no atmosphere. Sorry to say but keep driving.

lewis stanley

Portion of what I ordered didn't match size listed. Overall was good will good back again.

MA C

Rae Boyd-Awa

Food was Great Service at the Table was Great...Unfortunately the Young Man who was the Cashier was Unpleasant...Mostly a Good Dining Experience

Tia Day

This was our checkpoint for Day 4 of Hot Rod Drag Week 2019, so we decided to have lunch while we were there. The staff was great and very friendly. Our table ordered a lot of food and everything from the sandwiches and chicken salad, to the crab cakes, shrimp and scallops was excellent! We will definitely stop again if ever in the area, even if next time it isn’t required to finish our first Drag Week!

Marti Lloyd

Loved it! Outstanding food and our waitress was awesome! We got there on a Sunday afternoon, 45 minutes before they closed. They greeted us like family! We went there on recommendations from a friend who had traveled through there yesterday. We loved it, and have already decided to stop there in a week or so when we go back through...

Michael Holt

Absolutely the best place I have eaten in quite a while! Home cooked food - great atmosphere - excellent. We found it on our way down to Hampton. Now we always stop either on the way down or the way back! Pork Chops are the best!

One of my favorite places to go out to eat. Food is excellent, service is quick and the folks who work there are wonderful. If you go, try the Fried Oyster Po Boy. My husband's favorite is the hamburger steak with gravy and mashed potatoes. I highly recommend 17 South!!

Andrea Sydnor

Theresa Ross

Very friendly and good eating!!!! Always, this place is a part of our road trip!

Michael Thomson

Steak and eggs. Steak lots of grisel. Potatoes cold. Good service. Good biscuits. Overal average

Amanda Jordan

I had the chicken primafredo. The portion size was good and the Alfredo sauce was yummy. It was all well seasoned, but the price was high. $19.99 for something that you can get at Olive Garden for less. I don't mean to compare the two, because this restaurant seemed like it was farm to table, which is nice to see, but you pay the price. The way it is advertised on Google is a family restaurant and it's not. It's a farm to table and expensive.

M Vern

Really enjoyed their breakfast and service was fast and friendly.

michelle gathercoal

Amazing food at a great price

Patricia Dalton

larry cavin

The servers are friendly and make you feel welcomed. However the food is another story. Breakfast today for two was $20. Way over priced for the quality. Don't know if I'll be back again. Second time I've tried this place, second time I've been disappointed.

Dennis Jones

Excellent breakfast fast and great service

anna harris

My family and I just left out of there we were in the far corner to the left. It was very disappointing! I ordered the shrimp and Alfredo and it came out cold and nasty I politely asked her if I could have it warmed and she came back 2 minutes later I could already tell it was microwaved, it chucked up the Alfredo and was even worse. One of my family had the breaksfast meal and the bacon tasted hard and old and the meats of the hamburger was just old and dry. We will never EVER eat there again NOT what we paid...

Gary Dye

I loved it I'm 10 years old and I loved it the food amazing the service amazing everything I loved and I definitely recommend to eat here

vinalove07

Really wish they would treat their employees with more respect. Especially as a black owned business. Would prevail more if lose the crab in a bucket mentality. Good food...from past cooks my experience.

Jeffrey Homewood

The food is excellent as was the service. A very friendly staff and the country decor was very good. Clean in every aspect. We will stop there whenever we are in the area.
