Old Virginia Ham Shop

Such a cute shop! A must try, Juile is amazing in her service and vibes.not only do they make the best ham in Virginia. They also have daily sandwiches, sides, and drinks.I also hear coffee bar might be coming soon. Can't wait to see it!

I ordered a large charcuterie tray and was not disappointed. It was lovely and a hit at my neighbor's happy hour event. I'll definitely be using the Old Virginia Han Shop the next time I need a charcuterie tray. We also had lunch here when we picked up the tray. The Ghent sandwiches were great and the service was top notch! We'll be back.

Let me paint this picture for you...A rainy Saturday and you step into this quaint shop at the end of 22nd street and you are taken aback. It's cute, it smells like love and comfort and grandmama's house as she cooks Sunday dinner all at once.You order a half a pound of ham; you grab a jar of peach, pecan, and amaretto jam and on a whim--you get a Va ham sandwich with that same jam on it. Soft music lulls you as you sit on a swank couch that could easily be found in the corner of a speakeasy or a jazz club in the French Quarter. Your sandwich arrives and thought it's simple in its construction, the flavor explodes on your taste buds! Trust me on this bit of advice, order the Freaking Fabulous Fullers sandwich and switch out the mayonnaise for that peach, pecan and amaretto jam. I felt like I was HONORED to be here! Yes, it's a whole vibe, folks and the customer service--they are personable as the decor! You will come here and you will love it. I know I do!

Update: The pecan pie was delicious! I made a single deep dish instead of 2 standard dish pies. If you enjoy pecan pie, I definitely reccomend it. I want to try the chocolate pecan pie next.

Pork and pork products.Did you ever watch the Simpson's where Krusty the Klown drools over pork? That would be me in this place... I'll have to remember that though when I'm on a gurney waiting for a bypass someday...In any case, this place specializes in - well pork. Hams and bacons in every permutation you can think of: cooked, uncooked, with and without bones, sliced, smoked, sugared, salt cured and whatever else there may be.Grab yourself a cured bacon in a cloth sack and you'll saunter out of there feeling like a settler from the colonial days - hack off a few slices, fry it up and after the initial chest pains subside you'll agree that these are some really good bacons... salty as all hell, but sooo good...They also do a mail order business in the event you do not want to drive 6 hours to your doom...Parking lot.

Love to hit up this spot during the holidays. Always can be sure to get some great Virginia ham and sweet potato biscuits. One of these days, I'll have to get some country sausage links.

This place went above and beyond as far as service! When we couldn't make it on time to pick our Easter ham the owner waited for us 15 minutes past closing in the parking lot! To top it off she let me take the ham without paying for it as long as I promised to call in with my credit card on Monday. The ham was also delicious, the instructions were easy to follow, and everyone raved at our dinner. We will be back!

Franco C. said it right. Pork and pork products. That pretty much sums it up. I feel like it was a Virginia right of passage to go to a ham shop. I'm not really a meat eater and I don't really do ham but that didn't stop me from buying awesome souvenirs and a little bacon! I think this place is great to bring out of towners too. It's quaint, old fashioned fun!

We were terribly disappointed in the country ham we received. In our opinion, it did not appear the same as the one I purchased in December. The taste was not what we were expecting. I can not recommend this business to anyone. I would never purchase anything from then again.

Very beautiful place! The ambiance and food were amazing. The sweet potato rolls are definitely a must try! Absolutely delicious! Dana, the owner, is so warm and friendly! Come visit...you wil not be disappointed!
