  First Visit — Delicious Food and Wonderful Hospitality MOM and I made an impromptu first-time visit to C & E Southern Bites in Sterling, VA while exploring menu options for an upcoming Black History Month program at her retirement community and we are so glad we stopped in. We were quickly greeted, and three young staff members answered questions, promptly took our order and served us with friendliness and efficiency. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the fish was clearly cooked to order. The swai catfish and whiting were perfectly seasoned and fried hard just as requested; crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. We also enjoyed a wonderful variety of Southern comfort favorites, including collard greens with smoked turkey, crispy fried okra, delicious cornbread, and classic southern candied yams. The mac & cheese was especially memorable; made with multiple types of cheese, enriched with chicken broth, and prepared without egg, resulting in a creamy, savory, perfectly balanced dish. The hush puppies with onions were a standout, and the jumbo fried shrimp were cooked just right. And the gumbo deserves special recognition. It was beautifully crafted from a deeply developed dark roux and finished with tender chicken, hickory-smoked CONECUH sausage, aromatic vegetables, and traditional Cajun spices. Rich, hearty, and full of authentic flavor. Before leaving, we were especially grateful to Evans, one of the owners, who engaged us in a pleasant conversation for about 20 minutes. His warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality made our visit even more memorable. This was more than just a meal. It was a welcoming experience filled with great food and community spirit. MOM is excited to consider C & E Southern Bites as part of her meaningful celebration during Black History Month and will definitely be back.

  Good food but horrible customer service! Came in person to place a small catered order a week in advance and the person at the register wouldn’t take my order. Said I had to order online. I did as instructed and didn’t get a email back for 5 days (day before event) with a “we can’t fill this order” the person also got rude in the email response back to me…. This place will be lucky to survive another year with that customer service.
