“ I went for a dinner pop up fried chicken buffet and it was delicious! They had grilled chicken w cheese tomatoes, fried chicken, chicken tenders, and spicy chicken tenders. Mac cheese, mashed potatoes w two options for gravy, brown white, corn, green beans, and fresh baked rolls as sides AND a salad bar. There were 3 5 types of cookies for dessert as well. All of this a drink came to 24. Definitely well priced as it was all you could eat! There wasnt a single item I would improve, every dish was excellent. If you havent checked out Mom Pops yet, get yourself there ASAP! as an out of towner getting to Petersburg during their normal business lunch hours is tricky, so Im happy they do dinner pop ups hopefully theyll make dinner service during the week a permanent fixture! ”
“ Visited for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I were able to sit and have a conversation while our young kids played in the kids corner within view . I ordered the pot roast. Portions were great, food was delicious and presented in a visually appealing way. I feel like the pot roast is the most expensive item on the menu at 17 well worth it for the amount and quality. The fresh baked bread was the cherry on top! Highly recommend if youre in the area. The shops on the square are close by, too ”
