My first time coming here and I am loving everything from the atmosphere/old school vibes, the menu and its delicious simplicity’s, and the staff. I had a burger and it was HUGE, and delicious. My mom had the chicken salad cold plate which was also, you guessed it, delicious! I can’t remember our servers name but she was wonderful and attentive. All other staff we came in contact with were great as well. Can’t wait to come back!

A++++ we had a great find driving through. Looking for a steak to celebrate my husband achievement. This sweet find had a manager Hunter that certainly encouraged us to find this spot again. Great food, an old school reborn. Go find out for yourself

While visiting the small town of South Hill, my husband and I stumbled upon this gem – 313 Franklin – Cocktails and Kitchen. The name itself was intriguing, so we ventured in. The atmosphere is inviting, with a rich history and beautiful decor.  I loved that they turned the old high school into a charming restaurant; although you wouldn’t know it by the looks of the chic furnishings and the tablescaping. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. All of the restaurant staff were attentive without being overbearing.

My husband and I enjoyed the specially crafted cocktails, a blackberry sour and a smoked old-fashioned. The cocktails were balanced and tasty. Our appetizer, the crab dip was creamy, but not heavy or overpowering. For lunch, I enjoyed their burger of the month, which was so delicious. I can’t tell you all of the things on the burger, but normally, I would not have put all of these meats and cheeses together, but they blended very well on my burger. The burger was cooked to order and was very juicy. My husband’s lunch sirloin was also cooked nicely and was just the right portion. For dessert, we tried their homemade lemon cake, which looked and tasted amazing, an excellent summer treat.

We will definitely be back! The ambiance was exquisite from point of entry! Customer service is important to me and 313 didn’t disappoint. The prices were reasonable.

I stumbled across this spot when asking ChatGPT for a restaurant recommendation and was genuinely surprised to find something like this in town.

First off, kudos to the developer for finding a creative way to reuse the space—it’s a little unconventional, but they’ve done a great job making it work.

Service was excellent, and as someone with a background in hospitality, I really appreciated the energy and friendliness. They clearly enjoy working together, and it shows.

I sat at the bar to get some work done and was grateful to find an outlet nearby—such a small thing but a big win for people who need to work.

Food-wise, the Brussels sprouts were outstanding, and if that ranch was made in-house, it deserves its own shout-out.

This place is truly a gem, and I hope the town realizes what they’ve got.

Finding Your Center
I have been twice. Once to dinner and once for a party at their ” Dogwood Room”. Both really nice times. Dinner was way more, I mean way more expensive than I anticipated, and I didn’t have any cocktails. Also, our dinner order was accurate and the food was yummy, my Brussel sprouts were almost too hard to eat. My friend ordered No Shrimp in her Alfredo ( asking if she could get a no shrimp version before she ordered ) and it came with shrimp. It was lucky for all involved she wasn’t allergic like I am, because they just took it out. So, I would be really really careful if you have food allergies. The second visit to the Doog wood Room was delightful with catered service that took special care for food allergies.It was Really nice! The room is big, high, high ceilings and a stage ( just as you might expect in a delightful repurposed school ). So go and enjoy. For people needing an easy in/ out entrance use Franklin Street. Park in the back for all others. That parking lit is big, but kind if a tricky walk if you have a stroller, or a rollator or have a lot to carry.

A Hidden Gem in South Hill

Nestled in a beautifully repurposed old school building, Restaurant 313 offers a unique dining experience with both a front and rear entrance for easy access. The back entrance opens to a spacious parking lot, making it incredibly convenient for guests who don’t want to park on the Main Street.

The service was nothing short of exceptional—attentive, friendly, and warm throughout our visit. Every staff member ensured we felt welcomed and well taken care of.

The food was outstanding. The Salmon Tarragon was cooked to perfection, accompanied by creamy, flavorful mashed potatoes that were simply delicious. Another standout dish was the fried catfish—crispy, well-seasoned, and a must-try for any seafood lover.

The ambiance was equally impressive, with tastefully designed rooms and versatile seating arrangements to suit both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The thoughtful decor added a touch of elegance without feeling overdone.

We also indulged in a bourbon flight, which showcased a diverse selection, including a few new finds that were a delight to discover.

Restaurant 313 is a true gem, offering exceptional service, delectable dishes, and a charming atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot for any occasion, and I can’t wait to return!

My first stop into 313 and I was amazed. I love the small, home town charm where everyone was friendly and welcoming. The scallops were perfect, and the cream brulee was homemade on site. This will be a regular stop for me in South Hill, VA. Highly recommended for I-85 travelers looking for a quality meal, or folks in town. Much thanks for the fine food, excellent service, and southern hospitality.

Easily the best place to eat within at least 50 miles! Atmosphere was great. Service was great and very welcoming. Ciara was a great server. Food was amazing. Best scallops I’ve had in a while and I get them whenever I see them on a menu. They had a perfect sear and tender. Great selection of drinks too. I visit South Hill occasionally for work and I always make a point to eat here.

We made a reservation last week for 6:30 PM today and arrived early at approximately 6:00 PM, which we understand is common practice. Because the restaurant was busy, we were told a table was not yet available, which was completely acceptable. The owner informed us that once a table opened, the hostess would seat us, and we waited as instructed without complaint.

When a table became available, the hostess came over and asked our party of four to follow her. While we were walking toward the table, the owner abruptly stopped us and stated we could not be seated yet because the server was not ready and that we had to wait until exactly 6:30 PM. We were then seated at 6:30 and our order was taken shortly afterward.

The appetizers were excellent; however, several issues occurred with the main courses. Roughly 20 minutes after our order was placed — and shortly before the food came out — we were informed that the kitchen was out of rice for the salmon entrée and asked if fries could be substituted. While we agreed at that point, the timing made it difficult to choose an alternative and resulted in an odd pairing of fries with salmon.

Additionally, one entrée arrived missing the shrimp skewer and grilled onions that were ordered as additions to a steak dinner. The classic burger came out overcooked and without the requested cheese. On top of that, one entrée had not even been started until after the other plates were delivered, resulting in us needing to cancel that entree.
The compensation provided for the overcooked burger was a $2.40 discount on a $14.00 item, which did not reasonably reflect the overall service problems experienced. When we raised our concerns and stated that we expected a higher standard of service, the owner responded that it was not a five-star restaurant and then immediately asked whether we had already paid.

We are not unreasonable diners and understand that busy nights happen. However, the sequence of events — being stopped from sitting after being called to the table, multiple order errors, delayed food preparation, and the dismissive handling of our concerns — left us disappointed and uncomfortable. We hope this feedback is taken constructively so that future guests do not have a similar experience
