Great food, great service. The only negative was they put our 4 some at a table in the back room where the air vent below the table blew out really cool air. The waitress brought in a couple of laminated menus to cover the vent and you had to keep your feet on them to hold them down. The front rooms seemed much warmer and more comfortable. But the food was worth a little bit of discomfort read more

We stopped by for lunch while traveling north on I-81. Great spot--super friendly and good service. Food was great. The three of us had spinach quesadilla (best ever), Caesar salad, and peanut sesame noodles. All were great. Warm and cozy/friendly atmosphere. Will look forward to our next travel along I-81 so that we can return. read more

Friends in Roanoke recommended this cafe so we made a small detour to try it out. The cafe was very busy on a beautiful sunny day but the wait for a table was worth it. Staff was very pleasant and professional. Our meal was served quickly and the food was very good. I enjoyed my green tomato and pimento cheese sandwich. It was a perfect day to eat on the lovely covered deck. read more

The service here is top notch. Had the potato soup followed by a large Caesar salad with the grilled chicken. The dressing is extremely tasty and could eat that every day. The soup is equally as delicious and have ordered that each time I've been there. My boyfriend tried the Cubano sandwich, which is worth ordering. The dish came with small fries that were nice and crispy. I highly recommend checking this little place out. The inside is a little tight but well worth the wait! I will hitting this place out quite a bit while I'm in the area. read more

Ordered a quesadilla to take back to work and it was delicious! Wished I could have stayed and ate in cause the atmosphere seemed so relaxed and fun! Plus the music selection was AWESOME!!! will definitely go back and try something else that I'm sure will be just as good:)! read more

Stopped by here on a road trip after seeing the ratings, and it definitely lived up to those ratings. The turkey bacon cheddar sandwich was great and the chocolate espresso bread pudding was I think the best tasting thing I have ever had. Just sad that I don't live near enough to enjoy this place more often! read more

Tucker is a incredible server! Pace of meal was spot on. I gave him free control of my meal. Personal I find not ordering you get a great meal. Tucker hit the ball out of the park on his selections. Kudos to the chef. This was a limo trip straight through the middle of flavor town! Certainly a must visit! Thanks team. read more

So glad we decided to try this place after a day on the Creeper Trail. It's an intimate setting with nice patio seating if you like the outdoors, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Though we were just stopping by town for the day, they made us feel like regulars and owner, Jack, greeted us personally. We decided to try the pimento cheese and pita bread for a starter, which was hands down the best I've had. It was baked with another type of cheese in its own casserole dish and the pita bread was perfectly seasoned. You must try it! Next we had garden salads with blue cheese dressing, which was homemade and had nice chunks of blue cheese. I've had plenty of mediocre salads in my day, but this was not one of them. They used high class lettuce/greens (no iceberg or romaine) and it was a perfect mix. For the entrees we tried the jerk chicken which was so tender and juicy, well-seasoned, and had a perfect pineapple salsa, along with cilantro, pico de gallo and black beans/rice. Yum! I wouldn't recommend the chili rubbed steak as much, since there wasn't much seasoning, but it was certainly a generous portion of meat. For dessert, you must try the chocolate mousse cake....moist and RICH, but so worth it. This place is charming and should not be missed if you're visiting Damascus or Abingdon. read more

Found this place driving through on our way east. We couldn't have been happier! The service was second to none and the staff was so friendly and gracious. It felt like a cozy local place. On top of that the food was incredible. So fresh and flavorful and very well priced. I give this place 5 stars and will definitely be coming back!! read more

We stopped for a late lunch on a long road trip in late May and enjoyed a relaxing lunch on the patio. Our waiter, Sam, was delightful and gave us great service and super hospitality. I had a black and blue burger with fries and my wife had a meatless option. The burger was juicy! read more

Stopped in on Thursday for lunch and dessert. Friendly, quick service, pleasant atmosphere, wonderful bbq with red cabbage slaw, and the triple chocolate truffle was huge and wonderful! Had to walk most of Abingdon to burn those delicious calories! Looking forward to returning to try their fish tacos. read more

Delicious tomato bisque soup. Pasta with bay scallops was great. Tasted like homemade pasta! Wish they had used regular scallops as bay scallops were lost in full flavor of great pesto. Trout served with nice veggies. They wouldn't take a reservation but service is good and fast if you are going to theatre later read more

We had dinner at this restaurant Wednesday evening March 26, 2014. We truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The waiter, Josh, described the selections and even offered us a taste of the special. The food was delicious and the service was the best. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and Josh brought out her dessert with a candle in the middle and sing Happy Birthday to her. I recommend 128 Pecan for any special event or just a night out. We will visit again. read more

Perfect girls night out dinner. Lots of tasty choices, great service and all at reasonable prices.

Our hotel recommended 128 Pecan. Noticed that it was listed as #1 in Abingdon. We had only a short wait. Food and service was excellent. Enjoyed grilled salmon served over grits, the dinner special. Finished off with warm blueberry cobbler & ice cream. We really enjoyed our dinner. Great friendly staff, and the owner came by to make sure we were happy. Now we know how 128 Pecan has earned the #1 rating. Definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Ate at the restaurant tonight with some friends. This is not the place to go to if you want healthy food options. Most of their entrees are fried. Food was ok. Nothing special. read more

Every time I travel through Abington I stop here for dinner. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service.

The best Ceaser salad in town. Great service, good food, I send lots of visiting people to 128 Pecan!

This is (sort of) our neighborhood restaurant, so we wind up here fairly often. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is always professional in the best possible ways, and the atmosphere absolutely fits the location, which means it's quaint and cozy and fun! Be prepared to wait, as it's a very popular but small space. We're delighted to have some really outstanding restaurants in Abingdon, but this is our favorite. read more

Great meal. I had the shrimp and grits and my wife had the grouper dish with shrimp instead of grouper (they had sold out of the grouper). Both were delicious. Our server, Elva, was super! Very attentive and personable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Abington, VA. read more

Fantastic restaurant with great service. Everything we had was very good, could go here every week!

What a GEM. Stopped while passing through on biz and got the trout. AMAZING. Even the side salad used honest to goodness field greens instead of bagged iceberg, with home made blue cheese dressing. If back in Abingdon, I'll be back to this place! read more

Delightful! Service was wonderful and food was even better. Thoroughly enjoyed and would certainly go back when we are in Abingdon again!

This place is great! Very local feel but in the best and warmest way possible. And most importantly, the food is super tasty! We were just passing through town on a road trip, but the owner Jack and his staff made me feel right at home. If I ever find myself back in Abingdon I'll definitely come back! read more

We came to Abingdon for Thanksgiving but, after reading all the positive reviews, we were looking forward to trying 128 Pecan on Wednesday. The website listed the hours but didn't say that the restaurant was closed the week of Thanksgiving. We found another wonderful restaurant in Abingdon. Maybe next time. read more

Just had a perfect evening and meal at 128! Went there to splurge on a particular dish that I had only had one other time and was disappointed that it was not on the menu tonight. However, my disappointment quickly turned to excitement when our excellent, kind and funny waitress Elba asked Jack if they could make it and he gladly obliged. It was every bit as good as I had remembered if not better! I know that in the difficult, fast paced restaurant world, this would not always be possible but it sure was a special treat this evening. Thank you both!!! Although we were happily satiated after the meal and delicious goat cheese crostini appetizer, Elba magically (as she can :) talked us into trying the perfected key lime pie, much to our delight! Every staff member there gave us a warm greeting, thanked us and waved or said good bye as we left; we felt like Norm on cheers... special, appreciated and welcome! Thank you!! read more

My son and I visited on a recent Tuesday evening during a short stay in the area, as it was recommended by our host. The decor is eclectic and fun, our waitress was great and very accommodating to the plain tastes of my teenager, and service was excellent. The food was very good (plain salmon, rice and broccoli for my son, the grilled rosemary chicken pasta for me). After we finished dessert and the waitress brought the check, I placed my credit card on the tray without looking at the bill, which was face down. When she came back over, she turned over the receipt to show me that the balance was zero! The owner, Jack, had comped us our meal, which she said he like to do randomly, and that he said he like my vibe. He wrote "Happy Tuesday" on it. I left a very nice tip and thanked Jack on my way out. A totally unexpected gesture that made an already very nice experience totally memorable! read more

Amazing atmosphere with great food and drink! We stopped for lunch after the Virginia creeper trail bike ride and had a casual and relaxing meal. The seasonal berry mojitos were off the hook! The staff was very friendly and provided top notch service. We had the special tuna salad-salad, hummus appetizer and California chicken club. All the ingredients were very fresh and high quality. This little gem has figured out the right equation. Too bad we live in Maryland, otherwise we would be there weekly! Can't wait to try dinner on our next trip down this way. read more

Great place relaxing atmosphere. Fantastic food and excellent service. A real treat for a traveller or local wanting a real nice quant place to enjoy a wonderful dinner. read more

Try it. You'll probably like it, especially if you like black beans. Great service, decent atmosphere. Limited menu but what they do, they do well. And you can bring your own bottle of wine for $10. Tomato bisque, hummus, black bean cakes are all excellent. They have daily specials. If Jack is offering sautéed spinach or collards, get them. Very reasonable prices, and just a hop from the Virginia Creeper Trail. read more

Our first visit to this restaurant and we loved it. The food was suburb and our waitress was attentive, witty, and polite. The owner walks around the tables to ensure his customers are happy. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and it is worth the wait if there is a line to get in! read more

Wonderful food, service, and setting. The shrimp and grits was delicious. Wine selection was nice, if not extensive. We ate dinner out on the porch in the evening, which was a beautiful spot. Everything was well presented, but with a very casual, unpretentious, relaxed vibe. I would definitely go back if I'm ever in Abingdon again. read more

Only been there once, but the cobb salad was great as was the tomato bisque. It is an interesting place and I will go back.

Amazing food. The restaurant is tight quarters but the food is well worth the cramped space. Best food in Abingdon.

Passing through southern VA, and stopped in Abingdon for the night. Chose Jack's 128 based on the Yelp reviews. 2014 Trip Advisor award was a boost. Was not disappointed - ambiance, service, and food was excellent. Jack, the owner, an energetic gentleman with roots in Abington. Gave me the scoop on family etc. And the good - staring with Bell's Porter, a flavorful brew, followed by a delicious tomato bisque. I chose the Shrimp and Grits, as my server said "to die for". Nothing like comfort food - generous pieces of shrimp, okra, and fresh tomatoes in a signature red sauce that topped REAL grits! Simply delicious. The place was packed but turned over reasonably well, which is a testament to the popularity. All told excellent dining experience - highly recommend. read more

Great little hidden treasure off the beaten path. Great food. Owner and staff were very nice. Will definitely make it one of my regulars.

What a great little gem of a restaurant. I travel all over the east coast and always search for smaller restaurants that are interesting and appear to be run by folks that do it simply because they love it. I have found that a little over fifty percent of the establishments I find this way are wonderful places. 128 Pecan is one of those places that will go on my list of establishments to stop at if anywhere close. Wonderful fresh food served with impeccable service and a proprietor that is not afraid to come into the front of the house and say hi. Great ambiance and even better food for a price that is more than fair. This restaurant is on the top of my list and anybody would be doing themselves a disservice if they did not check it out. Great job chef Jack! read more

I was nervous about it so we got half just plain pepperoni and half with the onions and peppers and it was delicious both ways. The pizza was also very good. I don't regret getting the pizza at all, and it had that delicious sourdough on as the crust. We were also given a basket of sourdough bread at the start of the meal. Our table had a a nice view of the water too. The only thing I regret about the meal is not getting more bread or pizza for a snack later that night! read more

food was great. service great. tomato soup excellent. black bean burger delicious..carnitas quesadilla very good.
