Steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas.

Excellent food and service. Steak fajitas best I've ever had. Great prices. Gorgeous views.

We have become regulars here. Love this place. This is the first time I have tried the shrimp and grits. It is possibly the best I have ever had. Highly recommend! My husband had the glazed salmon and really enjoyed it.

Our server was on it with drink refills and getting our courses to the table well timed. We started with a half loaf of bread, which was good. The half garden salads were excellent and a decent size. I appreciated being able to order just oil and vinegar. The hubs had bbq flank steak sandwich, which he really loved. I had the lemon encrusted trout. Perfectly crusted, moist and piping hot. Delicious! All the staff were very attentive and checked in on us.

Grilled chicken dinner

Holy cow what a great meal! We visit Fries, Va twice a year to enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking and this time we tried the Fries Dam Steakhouse. I ordered the trout dinner and my wife ordered the apple cider grilled chicken. It was Saturday night and the hostess warned us about the likely long wait, so we weren't expecting super fast service. Almost an hour to the minute of placing our order, the food arrived. All I can say is that it was fresh, hot and incredibly delicious! Also, our waitress was very attentive and made sure our drinks (water) were always topped off. We're not ones easily impressed by food but we know it when we get it... and when we don't. Last year we ate at a neighboring restaurant and it was simply awful. I can happily report that Fries now has a high quality, fairly priced restaurant that has amazing food!! We can't wait to go back!

Our family of 6 had a great dinner at Graze on our way through town. Outside seating was wonderful…read moreas long as you were in the shade. Our waiter was quick and helpful. We ordered the oysters rocker fella, Brussels sprouts, salmon, burger, shrimp, pork chop, tuna tacos, carrot cake and brownie. All was great.

Stopped in for a late lunch one afternoon while in the area. We were passing through on a trip and…read morewanted something better than aberage and Graze on Main did not disappoint. Located inside the Bolling Wilson hotel on the ground floor, in the front left corner of the building as you walk in from the street front. An updated traditional small interior, with lots of seating outside both on the porch and side patio. We were greeted walking in and opted to sit on the front porch since it was a nice afternoon the day of our visit. Service is professional, kind and attentive. Our server was prompt with our drink orders, appetizer and entrees, and checked on us enough without being overly intrusive. We enjoyed a leisurely meal in a beautiful setting. Starting with the Griddled Focaccia eith balsamic reduction drizzle. A great starter, simple, well prepared and delicious. I opted for the Mustard grilled Pork Chop with a Devils backbone Lager. The chop was nicely prepared but a little overcooked (dry) not bad but still overcooked. Good flavor and a nice presentation, however it was dry which made it tough to cut. The flavor and the sauce made it palatable though, just wish it had been tender and not dry. 4 Stars - All in all, still a decent meal with great service in a nice comfortable locale. 01236

My Man and I spent several hours just seeing the sites. Since it had been many years since either…read moreof us had enjoyed 13 Bones, we decided to stop. First, our Server was a delight!! He made sure everything was perfect! We started off with the Cheese Sticks with both ranch dressing and marinara sauce! The marinara sauce was really good! The ranch dressing was too watered down for my taste!!! The cheese sticks were hot and fresh! Very gooey and good! He ordered the 13 Bones burger with fries. The burger had amazing flavor! The fries were a bit too salty, but they were perfectly cooked and served hot! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with their homemade chips! I ordered an extra side of dressing for both my sandwich and the chips. I just cannot rave enough about how amazing my entire meal was! Those chips were PERFECT!!!! Already looking forward to our next visit! Most Sincerely, Dayla

I had high hopes. The food and reviews looked good…read more We arrived and there was a full parking lot, always a good sign. We were sat quickly. The server was super nice. It was very cold where we were sitting and the server allowed us to move to a warmer spot. We ordered a fried mushroom appetizer. This was very good. They came with ranch and I think it was the horseradish sauce. The orangish sauce was very good. I ordered 1/2 rack of dry ribs with mac & cheese and green beans, and 2 hushpuppies. You get a choice of Texas toast, hushpuppies, or rolls. My coworker ordered salmon. When the food came out, my ribs were wet. I told the server that I had ordered dry rub. He stated they were dry but had sauce on them. I'm sorry, that is not a "dry rib", in my opinion. The first piece of rib meat I ate was soft and juicy. The next two were super dry and I could not eat any more of them. My coworker joked that that was probably what they were referring to when they said "dry rub". The green beans were ok. I added a ton of pepper and some hot sauce. I saved the mac & cheese for lunch the next day. The hushpuppies were dense and needed a little more flavor. My coworker commented that her salmon was ok but nothing to write home about. I should have went with my first instinct and ordered from the kids menu. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is nice.

Walking into a hallway, you are greeted by the hostess and seated. We sat in the rear dining room…read morewhisk can be sectioned off for a private party or meeting. There is a tv they showed cornhole tournament while we were there. Porky's has something for everyone due to large buffet. We tried the breakfast buffet, lunch buffet, and a soup and salad buffet. There is a full menu as well. With a party of 5 adults, We all opted for various combinations on the buffets. Good home cooking is what you get here. Golden fried chicken, delicious hot yeast rolls, BBQ, Macaroni and cheese and much more. The salad bar was good. Really liked the seafood salad, and macaroni salad. The dessert bar had cakes, excellent cobbler, puddings and soft serve ice cream which Is good on the cobbler. The service was excellent. All of the folks there were courteous and helpful. This is a family restaurant serving home cooking in a relaxed atmosphere.

We went into Porky's after a long day and everyone in my group was starving. We wanted something…read moreeveryone could enjoy so we chose a buffet. Choosing this place was a huge mistake. The buffet was tiny and overpriced for what they offered. The food on the buffet was of the lowest quality. While some of my party was ok with it, because they were so hungry, a couple of us decided to try our luck by ordering off the menu instead. As we sat and watched the rest of our party eat, we waited and waited. After about 35 minutes, our waitress who was also very rude, finally brought out the food we ordered, but the order was wrong. Not only was it wrong, but she tried to argue and tell me that I ordered something I would have never ordered because I can't eat it. To top it off, the side dishes she brought were empty and when I asked why, she took the empty dishes and filled them from the buffet!!! Shortly after we left, those who are from the buffet started to get ill and were sick the rest of the night. Lucky for me, my food never came or was corrected so I didn't actually get to eat but I did have to argue with the waitress to have my portion of the check removed, but at least I didn't get sick like everyone else. This place is a disaster. Avoid it at all costs.
