  I first ate at Virgil's over 30 years ago.  It was great then, but seems even better now.  I've eaten food from all over the world, but nothings beats good down-home cooking.  The service is fast & friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food is made with lots of love.
  
  The chittlins (chitterlings, for you city folk) are the only ones I'll eat outside of family preparation.  They're not greasy, soupy, or chewy but well-seasoned country goodness.  My wife had never eaten them before, but tried them the last time we were there and now she's a fan.  Rice & gravy, collard greens, fried chicken, green beans, macaroni & cheese, fried fish, hush puppies... I could go on & on, but I think you get the picture.  They are all fantastic!  If you're interested in revisiting your country childhood through food, you have to go to Virgil's.  If you've never had true country cooking / soul food, go to Virgil's and discover what it's like.
  
  I posted a picture of the menu from a couple of years ago.  It hasn't changed much, if at all.

  Virgil's is a nice small hideaway in Raeford, NC.  If your in the Fayetteville, Wagram, NC area You may know about this place. I ordered fried fish and it was good. the side dishes as well.  They make the fried food while you wait and all other foods smell and taste fresh of what I had.  Fish was seasoned not overly battered. The prices are very good. I give 3 stars because of the outdoor walk up window. Not sure if there is any inside seating for this restaurant so your forced to take it on the go.  I like to eat my food hot and not in the car. But otherwise nice look spot to grab lunch or dinner for take out.

  If you're going here expecting good customer service, your order made in a timely fashion, or even expecting your order to be accurate - you're going to be very disappointed. I placed a pick up order over the phone. The man who took my order also took my name and phone number. When I got to the restaurant I was told that three of the meals I ordered aren't served on Sundays. This is not printed on their menus, nor was I informed of this on the phone when I placed the order. When I asked why I wasn't called back to be informed of this, the response was "I don't know. We don't know who took your order." The food I did receive was OK. Overall Virgil's standards have fallen quite a bit over the years and I doubt I'll be back.

  My review is in 2 parts, the food & experience!
  The food is excellent probably the best country soul food restaurant for miles. They have a great selection and the pricing is good as well. However, don't come too late as they stop making food rather early!
  Now, the experience! They have the worst customer service and some of the rudest ppl I have ever met! The wait is ridiculously long and no matter what time I've ever been given my food always take at least 20 add'l minutes! The last time I went there which was 35 mins before they closed the last told me they only had 2 selections left and they couldn't cook anymore chicken which is what I wanted! When I finally got my food right after they closed the same lady was dropping chicken into the grease, idk who or what it was for but 30 mins prior I was told no more chicken

  Just moved here from San Diego and man have we missed good southern food!  We have found our Sunday Lunch after church spot! Everything tasted like my grandma made it at home.  We had the Sunday buffet.  Everyone was friendly and made my family feel right at home.  Only drawback for us was it was warm inside. We were sweating.  But maybe we still have to adjust to this nc humidity!
