This restaurant is a sort of time machine. It's set in "the country" not far from the town of Rocky…read moreMount, Virginia. The food: There are daily specials: usually fried chicken and another meat. It also includes two veggies, a biscuit or cornbread, and a beverage. The fried chicken is awesome! It is tasty, well-seasoned with crispy skin and moist, tender meat. Remarkably, none of the fried foods were greasy and it was clearly fried in fresh oil. For the other meat, my wife got the fried catfish; it was just as great as the fried chicken. I ordered the grilled catfish, which I found very tasty, well-seasoned and tender. Hot and cold sides are available; I really enjoyed the sautéed spinach and pinto beans (which is available with minced onions and "chow-chow" on the side). The cornbread was deliciously moist and sweet. The portions are amply sized. I didn't leave room for dessert, but we took a couple home, the banana pudding and apple cobbler. I'd order them again. There is clearly a not-so-secret ingredient in each meal; it's named TLC. I really think each meal we had was prepared as if we were more than just customers, but family members. The service: Although we had never set foot in it, our party of four was warmly welcomed and treated like family by the owner and his daughter. "Boots" (ask him how he got the nickname...) greeted and seated us. His daughter (and owner), Cindy, provided the menus and stayed to answer questions. The food arrived in a timely manner. Hot foods were served hot, cold foods were served cold. Beverages were refilled as needed. The restaurant: It's not the fanciest, but the "front of the house" is clean and orderly. Behind the counter are some interesting things such as an antique toaster. The restaurant has both 4-person booths and a few tables. The music, mostly from the 1960's oldies playlist, was great to listen to and volume was not obtrusive at all. The bathrooms are very clean. The parking lot is gravel but there's plenty of room. Overall: Great family restaurant, great food, great service. Worth the drive, especially if you have the craving for exceptional country fried chicken! If you're staying at one of the local bed and breakfast inns or are in town for a concert at the Harvester, check this place out. It's a 5 minute drive from Rocky Mount. Looking forward to returning for another meal.

We were longtime fans and frequented the previous restaurant at this spot lots and lots. It is very…read moredifferent so I think you just have to go in knowing that. It must be fairly popular, as they have an extensive menu, but for me it's a solid three stars. The photos speak for themselves in a lot of ways. I can't help but think with a little more attention to detail, and possibly being able to do that with a smaller menu, things would improve. The waitress told us they make everything in house and while that may be true for some things like dressings etc. I think that's a stretch. The fish with the fish and chips is certainly not fresh fish prepared on site, The portions for the meatloaf and barbecue plate were small in my opinion for a dinner portion, and the sauce I received with the chicken gnocchi special was not a cream sauce. I realize it sounds like I'm having a go at the restaurant, but I'm not. I would equate our meal with a diner type experience and there is certainly a place for that in the restaurant world. I miss the farm to table vibe though so while we probably will get back there at some point to try some other things but perhaps not rushing to do so.

Missing the food photos because we ate it too fast, but this tap room is excellent! The location is…read moreright by a river overlook near the tracks, housed in a beautifully refurbished industrial building that nails the rustic-modern aesthetic. We sat on the patio, and I loved that our server, Lauren, greeted us with a smile and let us pick our own table. Patio seating can be a gamble with the direct sun, but they have plenty of great shaded options here. Lauren was wonderful--she walked us through the specials and happy hour (can't beat $4 drafts!), and even shared her personal favorites from the tap list. As a cider drinker, I was also thrilled to see they had two distinct options available instead of just the usual Angry Orchard. For lunch, my husband ordered the crab cake sandwich with sweet potato fries, my mom got the chicken tenders and fries, and I went with the tender wrap and fries. Everything was spot-on. The fries were perfectly seasoned, and the portions were just right--filling and satisfying without leaving you feeling heavy or bloated. This is definitely going on our list of regular spots to revisit when we visit the area again!

We are originally from Vermont so seeing a Vermont brew - from Lawsons - is an automatic win. Food options are great and we opted for a burger, fish Sammie and turkey Reuben.

Service was great and we never lacked attention. Looking forward to a return trip!

We did not end up eating here, because there is no place to park a pontoon that we could see.

Maybe next time, we will drive there and try their tiple berry pancakes!
