Nanny's Restaurant

The fried chicken in this place is outrageous. Pork belly is great desserts. Were awesome, mashed potatoes unbelievable. Let's just say you gotta try the place if you're in the area or on a road trip right off. I95.

Nanny's is fantastic 👏🏾 A short walk from a hand full of hotels like the Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn off S. Crater Rd in Petersburg, VA. We went for dinner and the all you can eat buffet is $21 and great value for all the offerings. Like many others have said, the fried chicken and Salisbury Steak are awesome. But, the real star of the show was the BBQ Ribs! Real smokehouse flavor and fall off the bone tender. We also loved the pineapple cake. Other things we thought were delicious were the greens (they were more sweet than savory) the green beans, Yams, sausage and BBQ sauce that was provided on the table. The desserts looked very appealing (bread pudding, peach and apple cobbler) but after two full plates and the pineapple cake. We needed wheelbarrow's to get us out of there.

The service was absolutely great! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, even though there weren't many POC's. I will tell you that the food is definitely unseasoned, but with the amount of elderly people thats probably the reason why.

Saw this place driving past between jobs, decided I wanted to try. Their hours are pretty hard to work with, lunch Tuesday - Friday, dinner Friday and Saturday. Finally, my wife and I were able to catch them open for lunch. The cost is very reasonable for a buffet. The food fresh and very tasty. Being open only 3 hours for lunch on a weekday, the food stays fresh. And the parking lot was full, ensuring it stays that way. I loved the sausage, in particular. But, everything was very good. If you can catch them open, give it a shot, you'll like it.

Heard about Nanny’s quite a bit but have never been here before. Heard the homestyle southern comfort food on the buffet is amazing. Rumor was that the cheeseburger was the best. And that wasn’t a lie. This is how a cheeseburger should be done. 👌🏼 It was so good. Fresh onions, lettuce, crisp pickles. I opted for no tomato. Soft Fresh bun. Melted cheese. Meat was cooked perfectly. 🤌🏻 However the fries were not my style. They were soggy. I like my fries crispy. Maybe next time I’ll get onion rings instead. Will for sure come back when I have worked up an appetite to try the buffet offerings. It all looked so appetizing. Was completely packed on a Friday at lunch hour. Steady patrons coming and going. I see why this restaurant is popular. Too bad the hours are limited.
