Lunch menu, October 2022.
Laura S.

We visited this restaurant while on a visit to the Appomattox Historical District, after first touring the Appomattox Court House Historical Park. it was a non-holiday Monday in Oct, 2022, around 12:30 pm. The restaurant is a quintessential diner, which could be found in many American towns. What's unique about Granny Bee's is the Civil War-themed pictures (for sale) on the walls. Food. (Rating: 3/5). As is our habit, my husband and I shared our food. I ordered the chuckwagon entree (which was a chicken fried steak, with gravy) (3/5), and 2 vegetables ($8.95, lunch menu) -- macaroni salad (5/5) and turnip greens (2/5). This was also served with 3 warm, but dry, dinner rolls. (2.5/5). The highlight was the macaroni salad, which was creamy, delicious, and tasted homemade. The chuckwagon was okay, but was somewhat thin, and tasted bready. The collard greens were watery and bland. Adding salt and pepper helped, and perhaps adding vinegar might have too (it had been offered). My husband ordered a cheeseburger ($6.45), to which he added lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo ($0.50) and French Fries ($2.99). All of these were prepared, and tasted, as expected. (3/5). Service. (5/5). We we're seated promptly, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere. There are 2 large rooms with tables, and there was a steady stream of both sit-down diners and those picking up take-out orders. Most of the patrons appeared to be "local", and were familiar to the waitresses, though it also seemed that we weren't the only tourists. Many of the patrons, while we were there anyway, appeared to be of retirement age. Value. (5/5). These were fair, good-value prices, especially in these inflationary times which has to be hard for small businesses. We overheard a waitress mention to another customer that a large tomato is now costing them $3. One small pet peeve. It had not been mentioned that we would be charged the 50-cents extra (total, not per item) for the lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo for the burger No big deal, but it should've been mentioned on the menu before it appeared on the bill. Some final notes. *The restaurant offered a number of lunch specials, some of which sold out while we were dining. (Examples: salmon cakes; beef-vegetable soup with grilled cheese; Lima beans) *They offered 15 different vegetables to choose from with lunch platters -- from mashed potatoes to fried okra to cole slaw. *A sign at front door said that they offer breakfast all day, but we were not offered a breakfast menu *We overheard that the owner was the only cook in the kitchen. She was running "a well-oiled machine." Food was coming out efficiently. *A small salad bar is available, and the restaurant is using good practices in the continuing COVID environment. Individual items were covered with Saran Wrap, and users are required to wear masks while at salad bar. *Restaurant, and rest rooms, we're clean. The ladies room also had pumpkin liquid soap and lotion -- a nice touch. *We would eat here again if in Appomattox again.

Coffee

Amazing stop in Appomattox for lunch! We read about this place online and it seemed to have good reviews (it was also recommended on the local pamphlet guide we got while visiting Appomattox Court House). It was very cheap, the service was great and everyone was very friendly and nice. For less than 10$ each, my boyfriend and I had a filling lunch with coffee and water! I'll be happy to come back to Granny Bee's soon!

Hot bread

I took my Grandma 5 years ago and didn't have a great experience, but thought we'd try it again upon visiting the area recently. On a Friday night, we originally chose Mexican, but it was overly crowded so we decided to go here. There was parking right out front, which is more convenient for our toddler. We noticed they have a salad bar, which we didn't try. I looked up the menu before we arrived so there was no wasted time in ordering. I selected the Granny Bee's Special which is a 6 oz ribeye steak with grilled shrimp. Online the price is $17.95. Be advised they've raised the price to $19.99. My two sides were a baked potato and green beans. My husband ordered the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and green beans and we ordered a grilled cheese for our son, which was not on the dinner menu. You get rolls with your meal. It came out steaming. My husband didn't care for the bread, but I thought it was good (I don't usually eat bread so that might color my perception). Service was incredibly fast. I've never seen such a thin steak in my life, but steaks come in a variety of thickness and the flavor was acceptable and so was the texture. The shrimp were smaller, but I was impressed by the flavoring. The potato had plentiful butter and sour cream and the beans tasted homemade. All in all, I enjoyed my meal. My husband did too, although the mashed potatoes seemed instant to him. Honestly, I've never been in an affordable country restaurant that had real mashed potatoes, so that wasn't a shock. They have real iced tea, while some country restaurants serve instant (please ask and never accept instant). I have been told they have a good breakfast. We would probably visit again while in the area. I don't care for Confederate art, which adorns the walls, but there is a very cute child's drawing framed on the wall I'd love to buy if it were for sale.

Cheeseburger plain

Food was ehh the service was less than that. I stood at the door for five minutes and was never acknowledged I finally asked someone if we just sat ourselves and she said yes. I asked the waitress what she suggested and she literally rolled her eyes and said uhg. I ordered a cheeseburger which was good I got chicken salad which would be good if you like sweet chicken salad I don't and the potato salad was typical store bought mustard sweet potato salad. The rice pudding I tried was good. Nothing special. I would try the place down the street if I was back in town.
