Walsh's Chicken & More

This place was a wonderful find today. Visiting from SC & found a gem!! The food was so delicious and very reasonable. The staff was so friendly & courteous and they really made you feel welcomed and at home. The atmosphere in the entire place was amazing. It must be a local favorite cause most of the people that came in were called by name & greeted openly. Me & my daughter witnessed the best most friendly interactions between the customers & staff. It was truely a wonderful day to enjoy such wonderful food & friendly folks. I had a 2 piece chicken dinner with potato salad, Mac n cheese, blackberry cobbler and my daughter had grilled cheese, hush puppies & chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Had to get my husband a dinner to go he loved his fried chicken and mashed potatoes & gravy. Best fried chicken I’ve had in a long time!!

Delicious! Chicken tenders were perfect. Peach cobbler was divine. Coleslaw was actually pretty terrible/flavorless (just pick a different side!) But I can’t wait to come back here again!

We needed a gift card from Kroger grocery, so to Martinsville, VA we went. Naturally, I researched restaurants in the area because a girl’s gotta eat! Uptown Martinsville is a really cute town with two main streets. They have free parking on the streets and several free parking lots. Did I mention all parking is FREE?! We parked FOR FREE and walked around. They really keep their town clean and you can tell the residents are proud of their town. Everyone was friendly and would speak as they passed by.

Our goal was Walsh’s. This is a small, counter service, eatery with maybe 8-10 tables. They had a sign on the door stating they were short staffed and to please be patient. I’ve seen this same comment on a lot of businesses and I get it. However, they run this restaurant like a well oiled machine. They use preprinted order pads and then write in special requests. They pass the ticket thru the kitchen window and say ORDER UP. I felt like I had stepped back in time and I loved it! When the food is done, they bring it to you. I ordered the clam strip dinner with a chicken thigh on the side. Don’t judge me. Hubs got the 3 piece all white chicken dinner. Most places would give you a breast and two wings. Walsh’s gives one wing and two breasts! The clams were good but that chicken…delicious! The skin was well seasoned and really crispy and the chicken was really tender and moist. The potatoes were instant but ok. The biscuit was fantastic! We would definitely get the chicken again but we’ll try different sides.

Walsh's Chicken & More is a friendly down home restaurant which still cranks out great chicken, burgers and fish even after the previous location toppled from a wildfire. I think it is a treasure and a much welcomed part of the community whole. I am able to use wi-fi inside of the establishment The customer service is good and the meals are priced decently.

My first time eating here and everything was delicious!! Great customer service!

I love their fried chicken!
I took some to a friend's house and his kids were on it like white on rice.
I need to buy it more often.

Quite the classic this little restaurant. The food is always fresh and delicious. Prices are really really great considering the times we live in. Definitely one of the top places in town that's easy on your pocket, without a doubt. As for the atmosphere, it's lovely. The people are great, it's usually bustling, but small. Close quarters if you choose to dine in. But given the fact that they relocated after a fire and we still get to enjoy them, and the fact that you can get cobbler in a variety of flavors whenever they're open makes up for anything they're lacking.

The food is always delicious and the people that work there make you feel so welcome.

Always good food & always friendly service !! Try the chicken club salad !! It's yummy

Great food but busy - because of great food! Will go again.

Good food and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Great little place. Best part was the super friendly staff. There for lunch with my mom. We shared the jumbo chicken dinner and a side salad. Chicken was nice and crispy without being dry or oily. Looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer.

Absolutely amazing experience here today. The best cheeseburger I have had in quite some time. Staff was very very nice and polite. I do recommend and will be back.

I’m an out of Towner and I love some good fried chicken but this is so good if I think about it before bed I can’t sleep goooood. Service is equally amazing as the sumptuous dark and white meat that falls off the bone. This is obviously an unchanged recipe that has been kept a secret because NO PLACE does it better. If I could marry it I would, seriously. If your hungry go get some and if you disagree I’ll fight you.

The place was clean. And the food was fantastic.

Great place to get a quick lunch or get takeout for a large crowd. The chicken, both roasted and fried, are the best anyone in my group has ever had.

sooooo amazing!! i had the tender dinner, had green beans and mac for the sides. The walshes always do a fantastic job with the meals, and their freshly made desserts are hands down the best!! i always look forward to eating there.

Even with a short staff very friendly and service was quick and food was excellent.

The best chicken club salad I have ever had! My daughter really loved the catfish sandwich that she could customize the ingredients 🙂 owners and staff are just wonderful..This place is a definite must go when in Martinsville!

Great small town restaurant. I knew we picked the right spot when the Fire/EMS folks came in! Green beans needed flavor, but chicken and fries and biscuits were excellent. Service was down home and friendly.
