Virginia's on King

Yesterday a friend and I went to Virginia's on King. Since it's restaurant week here in Charleston, I figured why not try a new restaurant especially since that's one of my goals this year. I paid $20 for an appetizer, entree and dessert. For my appetizer, I got the house salad. I requested it without mushrooms, but it came with mushrooms. I had already started eating it so I just picked out the mushrooms. The waiter asked me if I wanted a new salad, but I told him it was ok and that I just picked them out. The salad was ok. It tasted a little weird to me, but maybe that was because it also had tomatoes on it and I don't like tomatoes. Anyways, my friend, Krista, got the fried green tomatoes. Those were actually really good and like I said earlier, I don't normally like tomatoes. We both ordered the fried chicken. Since it was on the restaurant week menu, we didn't get to choose our sides. It came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. I tried the collards but didn't like them. I don't normally like collards to begin with so I wasn't expecting to like them. My friend chicken was really good. However, it wasn't boneless. I'm not a big fan of chicken on the bone. The mashed potatoes were really good. I enjoyed them a lot! Anyways, for dessert I got the chocolate cake. YUMMY! Dessert is definitely my favorite part of any meal. I ate all of my cake. I tried Krista's chocolate mousse. It was good and a little rich. Anyways, I think I would eat there again. I definitely want to try their chicken salad and pecan chicken.
