Every little rural town should have a place to eat as good as this one! We were driving through…read moreAppalachia and ended up in the little town of Big Stone Gap around lunch time, and ended up here. it's surprisingly big, with a large spacious dining area and bar and sports viewing area in the back. The decor is minimalist but nice and the seating is comfortable. Service was a little slow, but pleasant. But the food itself was unexpectedly good! Their French Dip burger was excellent. It's rare to find French Dip sandwiches using traditional roast beef these days, as roast beef has been replaced by barbequed beef or pulled pork. Here they applied the French Dip concept to a well-prepared beef burger. The au jus was excellent and when the burger was dipped into it -- it was soooo good. As a side, the fire-roasted corn was out of this world, too. Whatever spices they put on the roasted corn really take it to the next level. Also amazing was their Cajun pasta with broccoli and chicken (added on). The sauce was stated as being alfredo with Cajun spices, but it tasted to me almost like a combination of pesto and alfredo. I've had Cajun style pasta sauce in many restaurants and it usually has what you'd expect in terms of Cajun seasoning. Here I'm not even sure I'd describe it as Cajun really, but whatever seasoning they put in the sauce, they should patent it. The chicken was well-grilled, tender and tasty and the broccoli pieces were also wonderful. On top were two pieces of perfectly baked Italian style bread that I used to soak up every bit of that incredible pasta sauce. Even though this place it basically 3 hours from where I live, if I'm ever anywhere near here again, I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Family and I stopped into Robo's for an early lunch as a part of my adventure to get a hot dog in…read moreevery Virginia county. I'm glad we were early because the parking lot got really crowded and the place was hopping shortly after 11:15. It's a big menu and we took our time looking over the options. Not everything is super obvious about what it is or has on it but you can ask the folks at the window. Our group ordered hot dogs, tater babies, broccoli cheese bites, and a coffee milkshake. Everything came out pretty quickly and VERY hot. I had a footlong hot dog, ordered with chili, mustard, and cole slaw but it only came with chili and mustard. My Mom had a hot dog with mustard and relish. That one was right but looked a little odd because the toppings were under the dog so it just looked like a plain wiener. The third hot dog was perfect and definitely was looked the most appealing. The tater babies are potato wedges. They were good. The Broccoli cheese bites were just kinda meh. My Aunt gave the coffee milkshake a C grade saying should couldn't really taste the coffee flavor. We enjoyed sitting under the covered areas because it was such a beautiful day. Robo's definitely seems like a local favorite. I'd return and try some other items on the menu (especially breakfast) if I'm in the area again.

Service was prompt and waitress had some helpful recs including the fettuccini Alfredo which was surprisingly good for this type of environment. She told me they made the sauce in-house.
