I LOVE Maw & Paw's Diner - this cute local eatery, literally nestled in Eagle Rock, is one of those…read morehidden gems that offers daily specials, a great variety on their breakfast/lunch/dinner menu, and holiday buffets. Real talk: I stumbled upon this eatery years ago, but never had the opportunity to go 'off the beaten path' on our road trips to stop by - I couldn't wait to check this local eatery with their super cute logo! The hubs and I stopped by here and had a biscuit sandwich, a Hot Roast Beef dinner, and one of their famous hand-pattied burgers (which we actually stayed for an additional hour or so, as they weren't serving the burgers until later!). While the biscuit was forgettable, the hot roast beef was so scrumptious! It was so hearty, savory, and stick-to-your-rib deliciousness, and such a comfort meal on a plate! The burger was ginormous, and you can tell that they hand-form the fresh patties; the patty was super juicy and all the toppings were fresh. Service was so friendly, welcoming, and with a smile! The restaurant itself has such a charm, and I'd love to be able to return again to check out their holiday buffets!

So Maw and Paw's Diner is like a local's favorite in Eagle Rock. The town is small and there…read morereally isn't anything else around for a while unless you drive to Subway at Sunset Market so begger's can't be choosers. My dad used to love to come here for the buffet after Sunday services at the church and we would stop in here for a burger during summers after he picked me up when he got off work. Their burgers are handmade (meaning they are hand pattied) and used to be very good. During certain times when you stop in there will be buffets offered with things like frog's legs and the like so if you want to get some local country fixings you can try to haunt the board for those things. I tend to stick to what I know and go with simple items and wouldn't order anything other than a sandwich or the burger from here. It's simple food with a simple kitchen and it's very good for what it is. But this is not a fancy place. It's a small diner in a small town run by friendly locals. Temper your expectations, if you find yourself here and hungry, it'll hit the spot.

Wow! As a little family, meat & 3 type place back off the road between the highway and state park I…read moreexpected a nice, tasty basic meal. What I got was professional chef level FLAVOR, A+ service and just all-around satisfaction! Hubby & i considered ordering the seafood platter and sharing it because we are working on portion control, but I was considering the trout but it's a pasta featuring dish and I'm limiting refined carbs. I ordered the southern fried fish (swai) but opted to get it grilled so I could "justify" the hand cut fries I spotted when we were being seated. It was the perfect choice! The fish was perfectly seasoned and perfectly plated. Soft and tender and no extra grease. Of the sides, it's difficult to pick a favorite! I cannot recall if I've EVER such phenomenal collards! Truly, the texture, balanced mix, of onions & bacon & vinegar without being soupy. Each bite was savored. Homemade hush puppies with just a touch of corn kernels and buttery batter- mmmh- chef's kiss! The handout fries were everything I hoped for and when she arrived with the "London's Pub" brand I knew they took their work seriously! Nothing fancy just good eats! Hubby opted for the grilled shrimp with old bay and the portion was generous and again, tender! The food was gone too quick for photos, so I snapped these. The server enjoyed her job and knew all the details of the menu and you could see the rapport among all the staff and kitchen leads which as someone who worked in the industry for 8 years many moons ago, I appreciate how much that impacts the customer's experience! Way to go, team!

I was hungry and not in the mood to move my vehicle from the hotel parking lot as street parking in Lexington can be a challenge. I arrived at about 9AM and the only other customers were 2 college age girls who never exchanged a word with the other since they were on their phones. I ordered a Hillel and a large coffee. The only available creamer was pumpkin spice which I'd never had in my life. What is a Hillel you ask? It was salmon, caper, onion, and cream cheese in a bagel for about 10 bucks, however either it was tasty or I was starving and would have enjoyed a spam sandwich. The college aged staff were reasonably friendly, accommodating, and my order was ready in a jiffy. The cafe is located on the campus of Washington & Lee University whose current president has a left-leaning agenda for its students. Not a bad deal for a quick meal if you're hungry. The portions aren't huge, but probably more in line with quantities more conducive to health, and prices are somewhat high. PS I don't like pumpkin -spiced coffee

Their selection of Virginia brews is seriously impressive -- local favorites, hard-to-find options, plus a solid lineup from beyond the state. You can tell they actually care about what's on tap. It's not just "a lot" of beer -- it's great beer. The food totally holds its own too. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and the kind of comfort food you want when you're settling in with a pint (or two). No afterthought kitchen here. We happened to be there on a live music night and wow -- what a vibe. The music was fantastic, the sound wasn't overwhelming, and the whole place felt lively without being chaotic. The patrons were kind and friendly, and the staff? Absolutely top-notch. Welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there -- which makes all the difference. This is one of those spots that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. We'll absolutely be dropping in every time we're in the area. Highly recommend.
