Royalty Eats

I ordered the Lemon Pepper Dry Rub Wings (as usual) & the wings were cooked to order, crispy & seasoned to perfection. The owner, Nakesha is ALWAYS welcoming, professional & overall a whole good vibe. If you're looking for top-notch wings and/or good soul food in general, this place is it! Hands down, best wings I've had in a long time. Thanks sooo much Nakesha!

WELP, where do I begin? First off, my Lodge brother was very confident in the lady whom had prepared the oxtails. I’ve had oxtails from all over this country, the West Indies, and in other countries across the Atlantic. These oxtails were OUTSTANDING (especially considering how the dinner was $33.) Cabbage was also top tier and the greens were almost as good my own homemade ones. I can’t wait to come back and get the smothered turkey wings. So I have to confirm: Keisha’s oxtails are arguably the best in Virginia. I WILL be back soon, considering I’ve kept a close eye on this place for years and was extremely happy they’re open on Sundays now.

Royalty Eats does not miss. The food was excellent — real comfort food made the right way. The collard greens were especially good: well-seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell time and care went into the food. Portions were solid, everything tasted fresh, and the quality was consistent across the board. This is the kind of place you try once and already know you’ll be back. I’ll definitely be returning.

First I want to thank the lady that took care of us when we arrived she was friendly, shared conversation, and had amazing energy!!!! I just stopped by while I was in town and I’m happy I did!!!! We got two different meals, Catfish and Lemon Pepper Wings with 4 different sides and everything was 10 out 10 for me!!! But to go back to the cook with having that amazing energy shows that when you cook with love the food HITS on another level of goodness!!!

The catfish is phenomenal — perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. You can tell right away this is made with care, pride, and serious skill. Every bite tastes fresh, hot, and done right — no shortcuts, no grease overload, just straight-up quality food. The owner deserves special recognition. You can feel the passion behind the business — welcoming, professional, and genuinely invested in putting out great food. It’s rare to find a place where both the product and the leadership shine, but Royalty Eats nails it. If you’re even thinking about catfish, stop looking. Royalty Eats is the standard. I’ll absolutely be back and recommending this spot to everyone I know.
