Hermie and Elliott Sadler Restaurant: Southern Cuisine in Emporia, VA

The food is fresh and tastes like homemade. The atmosphere is pleasant and quiet. The staff is caring. Your hearty meal will cost $15.50. The restaurant has access to a truck stop where you can buy souvenirs and drinks for the trip.

Good service. Decent food. I ordered a Fried Chicken Sandwich w, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and bacon. 1 star off due to false advertisement. No buffet option is available. You can only order what's available on the menu. Personally, if I hadn't shown up early in the morning and would have arrived in the afternoon or evening, I would have walked across the street and ate at El Ranchero IV Mexican restaurant.

This restaurant serves delicious food buffet style! I just found out about it last year, I went to get my mother some of the soft serve ice cream and I thought it was on the Convenient Store side. A cashier directed me into the restaurant and I walked in and let me tell you, the delicious aroma of the food met me at the door! Let me tell you, I love a good old fashioned Rice Pudding and they had an entire fresh pan of Rice Pudding on that buffet! I was in heaven! They have several desserts that are all so tasty such as Bread Pudding and that's so delicious! They have fried chicken, baked chicken, a salad bar, a soup bar, hot rolls, desserts, and the atmosphere is really nice. If I were to compare it to another restaurant, I would compare it to Nanny's in Petersburg, VA. If you enjoy Nanny's, you will certainly love Hermie and Elliot Sadler Restaurant! I'm sure the Truck Drivers really love it because the food really is a Wholesome and Really Tasty Home Cooked meal. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed!

I saw a billboard for this place on I-95 and it was about lunch time so... Don't blink or you'll miss this place. Also, don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. This place serves up some good country food. I stopped in to get something to go. There appeared to be a lot of locals inside for some Easter lunch, which I took as a good sign. I'd describe the buffet offerings as southern comfort food. Fried chicken, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, cabbage, mac n cheese, corn, banana pudding, etc. There' was also a salad bar. The staff was friendly and the buffet to go price was $9.25/lb. What you see in the pic cost me $11 and change. Everything was delicious. I ate every bite. The mashed potatoes were definitely made from scratch. You could taste it. Not sure if I'd recommend this place to vegetarians as there was no non-meat entree options, but if you're good with just eating some tasty sides, you'll have enough to choose from. I definitely would not recommend this place for vegans. Happy travels!

I have made this my favorite place to come sit down and it..After traveling up and down 95 this has been amazing. Northerners CAN'T COOK. So if you're traveling from Florida on I-95N going towards Jersey Or NY please stop exit 11B and grab you some good cooking. The buffet is small it is worth every bite and penny you're going to spend..Service was amazing.

This was my first visit. My cousin and I came down here to a funeral. Very impressed from a person who was from the north eating some good Southern breakfast. If you in the area I recommend to stop. Enjoy yourself or you can eat buffet breakfast, lunch

I ordered breakfast from the menu. It was good. The grits were a bit hard. The buffet looked good. It had many home-cooked favorites, and the salad bar portion looked tempting. The service was outstanding. The waitress here was very friendly and very attentive for coffee refills, condiments, checking ok status.

Not your run of the mill truck stop restaurant. Plenty of seating and good food. The staff is friendly and the kitchen serves some pretty good food. The buffet is packed with choices too. Try the fried chicken. You'll be happy you did!
