Lunch buffet is about $10, and it includes very good fried chicken, tasty (but slightly overcooked) ribs, country style veggies (greens, yams, mashed, green beans, corn, those sorts of things), and on this most recent occasion, pineapple pudding (think banana pudding but with pineapple) and blackberry cobbler that was replaced with an apple cobbler later. Meals come with cornbread and fluffy rolls. I've also seen ham on the buffet before. Everything was hot and delicious, better than most steam table fare. You leave stuffed, no matter how hard you try to avoid overeating. Hardly gourmet food, but it is just plain great country eatin'. For the price, it is an excellent meal.

Service is always good and I really am impressed with how large the restaurant is and how well they do at turning tables and getting people in and out really fast so don't be intimidated if there's a line out the door they've got it under control.

Hands down, my favorite place to go!…read more Molasses Grill has easily become mine and my husband's favorite date night spot. The ambiance is always perfect, from the music to the lighting, candles, decor, and of course, the absolutely delicious food! Everything is always fresh and you can tell that the chef really puts his time in when making these amazing dishes. The attention to detail, flavors, and diversity of the menu truly sets this place apart. One of my favorite things about dining at Molasses is talking to the adorable women who work here. Everyone is always super friendly, but if you get the chance to dine with Jordan the bartender or Cristina the server, you are in for a great time. They both have such an awesome presence and bring amazing energy to the restaurant and overall experience for their guests. I highly recommend going in and dining with them!

Went here on my way to Richmond for a band event. Restaurant is tiny but it's cozy- not a problem…read morebut if you need to have a super top secret conversation then probably go elsewhere. Lovely decorations and definitely has a 50s feel to it. I got the bacon jalapeno burger omelette, fries and 2 slices of toast are included. The omelette was delicious and chock full of toppings, my only possible complaint would be that the cheese coverage didn't reach the far end. However, that can probably be specified beforehand and its not enough to knock of a star. Regardless of this, I loved it. The bacon and burger were full of flavor and the grilled jalapenos had just the right amount of spice. The grilled onions on top were a great touch. When you're done with your omelette and there's leftover toppings on the plate, you can use fries to sort of scoop them up (awesome). The service was also great. The waitress was talking to regulars, and even asked us what we were up to today. Food came out pretty quick and she asked us if we wanted refills the moment our cups were low. Overall, nice little place. Forgot to get a picture of the food because I was so focused on eating. If I ever come back through the area between the operating hours of 8 and 2 I will certainly be going here. If I happened to pass through after they closed I would probably break in for the pie. (Kidding)

This is a must-visit for diner enthusiasts. The building sits on the north-south main thoroughfare…read morethrough historic downtown Farmville, an area once lined with tobacco warehouses. It is very small, with about fifteen stools wrapping around a classic service counter. According to the menu, the diner is a "One-Master Model 15-Stool Valentine steel building," made by Valentine Manufacturing Company of Wichita, Kansas, in 1955. They have a small parking lot in back of the diner. I parked there and then saw a bathroom entrance sign -- after a 2 1/2-hour trip, nature was calling. It is a very clean bathroom located at the rear of the building, with a separate entrance from the parking lot. There is no access to the restroom from inside the diner -- a unique and nostalgic feature you don't see much anymore. I walked around to the front of the building, entered, sat down on a stool, and was greeted with, "Y'all having a good day so far?" I had a half sweet/half unsweet tea and the Cheeseburger Deluxe with no mayonnaise. It came with lettuce, tomato, pickle chips, onions, French fries, and cole slaw. I put ketchup on the fries, but the fresh tomato alone provided plenty of flavor for the juicy, delicious burger. The French fries were crispy and delicious -- exactly what you hope for at a classic diner. The cole slaw was outstanding and clearly tasted homemade. The pies looked incredible, and because the cheeseburger platter was so good, I had a piece of blueberry buttermilk cake topped with whipped cream -- wow! There is also a clearly posted 3% surcharge if paying with a credit card. Prices are reasonable, so it didn't feel like an issue. This was a great overall experience, and I would recommend this classic, nostalgic mid-20th-century diner to anyone traveling through Farmville. It closes at 2 pm, so plan accordingly!
