The best fried chicken! Went over Memorial Day weekend and was amazed! Wanna visit lynchburg again…read morejust to stop here! Also, saw this ride parked outside :)

A lot of people say they have the best fried chicken. NOT. The best hidden treasure here is their…read moreBURGER! Omg these burgers are comparable to Five Guys, with a cheaper price tag! They put a nice crisp on their burgers and I love how simple they make them (everything on it includes lettuce, tomato, mayo. I always add grilled onions too.) You can get a combo with a burger, fries and a drink for under $10. We found this place through word of mouth and yes it is in the "hood" inside a small convenient store but well worth it. Tried the steak and cheese for the first time yesterday and OMG best sub in Lynchburg. I've tried the most popular sub shops that people claim to be good but this one was the only one that didn't disappoint. LOTS of meat and everything was evenly distributed. Not super greasy and seasoned very well. Wish I would've gotten a 12in instead of a 6in! They have lots of food options, I see a lot of people getting the fried fish platter but I'm not a fan of fried fish. Don't go off how the spot looks! The food is delicious!! Including the fries. and the food is always made fresh to order so you'll never get any old food that's been sitting for a long time. They will forever get my business!

I love this little grocery store, Graves Market. It is not the closest market to me, Black Bear…read moreMarket is way closer, but this is my go to Market. I love this place because they are nice to me. They remember my from year to year, and they just make me feel welcome and happy. Okay, Ashley's Market does that too, but they are way further up the road! Oh, and my husband loves this place because the gas is corn free, and the price is always right. Plus, he gets a kick out of filling from the old style pumps from before the pumps became gas dispensing ATM machines that play non-stop commercials. Parking is limited, but if you live in Wintergreen, Graves Market should be your go-to stop before you start up the mountain and check-in before you go because there is not a cell service at that location.

Sometimes the best food is in unlikely places and according to Saveur Magazine and The Washington…read morePost, Mac's is a hidden gem truly hidden in middle of nowhere backwoods Virginia. It's in cellphone reception-less Roseland, Virginia off a few country roads. Once you see the only gas station for miles, it would be easy to move on, but just wait...Mac's is in the gas station! Passing a beaten up truck and a few overall wearing locals, walk inside and order the fried chicken sandwich with all the fixins (onions, lettuce, a jumbo slice of a tomato, and mayo) for a whopping $4. If they ask if you want potato wedges, save $2 and skip it. They weren't very good and you literally get 5-6 of them. The chicken sandwich itself was good for being in a gas station. It's definitely better than Chick-fil-A but not as good as the best you've ever had. If you stumble upon Mac's randomly, you'd be blown away by how good a simple gas station in literally the middle of nowhere could make such a good sandwich. However, if you're coming from a city with good food, save the trip. Sorry Saveur and The Washington Post.

The Washington Post used to publish a food column called "Crummy But Good" which highlighted places…read morewith great food but little in the way of aesthetics. To be sure, Mac's is such a place... Mac's is a nondescript country store and gas station on Highway 151 in Roseland that happens to sell outstanding fried chicken - crisp and moist with just the right seasoning. This is what fried chicken is about, not that greasy junk at KFC. Indeed, Mac's chicken is as good, if not better, than Mitchell's in Lynchburg (also in the Crummy But Good genre). Choose the number of pieces, white or dark meat and whether or not you want a side and dinner rolls. Mac's offers other items, but it's hard to make a case when the chicken is this good. The store managers are friendly and there are a handful of rustic tables in the back of the store should you wish to dine-in. Mac's is a great place to stop for lunch while visiting the local orchards. If you're willing to overlook the exterior, great fried chicken will be your reward. Just be sure to top off your tank before heading back to town.

Kyle met us when we arrived and was very nice and friendly. The parking area they had for us was a really pretty feild next to the store which was mostly flat and large, making for easy in & out for us pulling a 29' tt. There was a large deck behind the store with chairs and we had some nice downtime after driving all day, just sitting and listening to the sounds of the country. We had a very restful night. The next morning we had breakfast at Carters General Store & Deli which was really good, they had some of the smoothest great-tasting coffee! Best of all, owner Kyle sat and chatted with us and then other locals came and sat at the family-style table and joined us. It was such a comfortable, pleasant experience! I hope all the Harvest Hosts that we visit are like this one!
