    Old Fashioned
    Natalie R.

    Checked this place out on a Friday night when we were looking for a fun and casual place to get drinks and dinner with our family of four. There was a sign on the door about being short handed which was no problem. We received great service. My husband had a Bloody Mary and I ordered an Old Fashioned. Our family ordered chili dogs, chicken tenders, bacon cheeseburger and hamburger steak. Everything was hot and served quickly after ordering. We will be back!

    3 piece chicken tenders with roll
    Fran T.

    Totally disappointed with the quality of the food. Chicken tenders $6.50 for 3 with a roll and they were burned. Ruben $11.25 and was a joke. Loaded potato wedges $9.50 and were mixed with some cheese and bacon thrown in. Will definitely it eat here again as the last 2 times have been a complete disappointment. And charge way to much for what you get. $53 and most was thrown in the trash.

    2 sets of flights

    We were having a mini vacation and visiting distilleries. Came upon this one by looking thru google maps. Decided we were close so we went to visit. Selected 2 flights for tasting - smoothest Vodka and so many flavors to choose from - currently they have about 30 at the end they are saying they will have about 39...guess that means another trip. So to say the least we ended up bringing a Whole Case Home. They guys were all so nice and helpful with everything. Appreciate their help.

    This place is outstanding. Moonshines with WAYYYYYY more flavors than on the website. As well as other vodkas and liquors. AMAZING mixed drinks. Food and for those who don't like liquor there is a few beers on tap. Truly something for everyone. Our server was friendly and not overbearing. 12/10 would suggest this place to everyone.

    The Smurfette drink was delicious

    We visited for the first time this weekend. The drinks were great. Everyone was so nice. I would definitely recommend the Franklin County Distillery. I can't wait until the restaurant opens.

    Cocktail nirvana.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Now that we have a kitchen, according to the health department, we can no longer let pets indoors, however we still allow pets on the patio.

To get there I had to drive on the highway and with the change in time, when I arrived, night had already fallen, and it was dark. With no traffic lights to turn to the small parking lot of the restaurant, I had to wait until cars stopped coming from the other side to be able to turn towards the restaurant. You could say it was an adventure just getting there on a Sunday evening. Once inside, the place was clean, cozy and had a comfortable ambiance, with eclectic dining furniture and decor. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review for a better sense of the place and the quality of the food. A young lady who would be my server, greeted me and took me to my table, leaving a copy of the menu with me and taking my drink order. I had a fountain drink. When she came back with my drink I ordered a House Salad with the House dressing to start with, and a Klukin Pig Sandwich with Homemade Chips. The sandwich had ham, chicken, bacon, provolone and Chef dressing on a Ciabatta bread. The salad was a nice size salad, served in a plastic bowl. I enjoyed eating it with the House dressing very much. The sandwich was not too big but good tasting. And the chips were pre-cooked, so they were somewhat dry. I had expected they would be fried at the moment, like in other restaurants I'd had homemade chips before. For dessert I had a Funnel Cake Sundae. It was huge and delicious. The other desserts they had were mostly slices of cakes and pies packed in plastic containers. I could see the locals or tourists of this small town dining here, but I wouldn't make it a trip just to dine there.

After waiting about 20 minutes our server brought us a roll baked inside of a small crock and served with a tiny serving of cherry butter. The roll was warm but not warm enough to melt the butter. The cherry butter was amazing and something I've never tried; it was the best part of our meal. Our meals finally arrived after another 15 or 20 minutes. The chicken had clearly been grilled to order and was cooked long past done. It was a dry, flavorless morass. The dry, flavorless "stuffing" was unlike any other stuffing I've ever had, but it clearly had been cooked in the past. The promised hot honey was MIA. My sweet potato casserole had likely been sitting in the cooler until scooped up in a cup, thrown in a serving tray and moved to the oven. If the casserole had been freshly prepared it would have been excellent, but as served it was lukewarm, unattractively presented and tasted like leftover sweet potato casserole that was past its prime. My dining companion tried the corn pudding and thought it wasn't bad but it also looked like it was dredged up from the cooler. Olde Liberty Station's kitchen is in need of an overhaul. We wont be back.

Our boys play football @ Ferrum & we found Dudley's when looking for somewhere to get breakfast together before leaving. I'll admit at first we were all a little skeptical because the "Truck Stop" in the name evokes the smells of cigarettes, watered down coffee, & a greasy spoon dinner that no one wants to go to. None of that was true! As mentioned, you can tell that this is a local favorite. We sat by the door & the staff greeted many folks by name & asked "Are you having your usual?" Walking in you take a step back in time to the days when roadside diners like Dudley's were popular. I particularly loved the Dale Earnhardt memorabilia. Our party of 7 were seated quickly & welcomed by all the staff. The staff were all very friendly even giving us recommendations of where to buy some local things. We were fortunate to meet Gina (I think that was her name) & chat with her. She's the owners daughter. While there & speaking with Gina, we caught a glimpse of the owner on her way out the door...90 years young & still coming in to work daily. Ok, I'm sure you want to hear about the food, but honestly the service itself would bring me back! The 7 of us had a range of things from pancakes, country ham, home fries, hash browns, biscuits & gravy, & eggs cooked all kinds of ways--not one complaint other than being too full, but all plates were cleaned. The only wish was from our red meat/steak lovers & that they offered steak & eggs. What a treat & what a joy! Can't wait to go back!!

    Yelp reviewers, thank you for the recommendation! I'm just passing through (Louisiana to Niagara…read moreFalls) and did a quick search for a good place to eat in this area before I booked my hotel & I'm thrilled I made time for Angelle's Diner! I made lots of friends in the outdoor dining area since I have my sweet dog. My new friends recommended hamburgers & the BLT. I decided to strike out on my own & ordered the Country Fried Steak with white gravy. Now I'm from Texas & I love CFS, so when I tell you it was good, that means something!!! It was fresh & hot! Fresh okra that you can tell was hand breaded (amazing, my first of the season since we've had so much rain in LA)! The onion rings were also awesome. The ranch was a little runny but it tasted great (I just would have liked more sticking to the ORs)! Patty was great!!! Super helpful & attentive. She brought my pup water & then brought him refills. That has never happened to me before! Doggie owners, I felt welcomed. All that plus a really nice fruity cake for dessert cost $23.58! I feel weird giving my meal a 10 (since I'm from TX & the food is a Texan staple) but it's well deserved. Great ending to a very long day driving!
