    Small menu with boring choices. Decor is dated. Service is pretty good. Not a place I'd recommend

Plenty of parking on street and on side street area in front of water. Skip the franchise places and head on over to this quaint locally ran restaurant. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a small bar area. They do have ice cream and milkshakes when you enter. You can pick out your dessert before your meal. There is a bar with beet on draft, canned/bottled alcoholic drinks, and even wine. The menu offers a variety of choices from burgers, salads, wings, quesadillas, cheese steaks, etc. Lots of options. You will not have a hard time finding something to tempt your tastebuds. We ordered the homemade pork rinds for an app. They came to the table popping!!! So fresh and delish. Highly recommend if you like them. We then ordered The Hunter (cheeseburger with bacon) and wings. The wings were saucy and delicious. The burger was awesome! The roll was pretty fantastic as it was buttered and toasted. We upgraded to onion rings as a side which were great as they weren't heavily breaded. All in all, a terrific meal. The people here make the experience even better. Natalie waited on us and she was very friendly and attentive. John was the other server who was just as equally friendly and attentive as Natalie with his tables. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. Just a fabulous find. Don't pass this one up!!! Show them some love. You won't be sad. PS - tore into the burger before remembering to take a pic (it was just that good)!!

    This review is for takeout Tuesday run by the Southern Inn. This is the second time we got takeout…read more The first one was not too good, vegetables were raw and inedible, pork was so so. We decided to give it another try but this time will also be our last. We ordered the chicken and dumplings. What we got was 2 big containers of chicken broth with little scraps of chicken floating in it. It was like lousy chicken soup. The dumplings were not bad but when I found that some of the "chicken" was skin and even a bone I was disgusted. There was not even a half chicken breast total in the 2 orders. I don't know who is really doing the cooking for this takeout service but it is not good.

    We were driving through Lexington and decided to stop for a quick takeout lunch. Southern Inn was…read morethe perfect place for us because they offer family meals that are hot and ready to eat! There is also a ready to bake option for those eating at home. They also kindly provided us sets of utensils and paper plates for our meal. We got two family meals: Pork carnitas and blackened chicken penne pasta. The pork carnitas meal came with tortilla, rice, lettuce, pico, cheese, sour cream and carnitas. The pork was perfectly cooked- extremely flavorful and juicy. The meal for 2 came with 6 tortillas. The portion sizes are good for the price. The blackened chicken penne pasta was AMAZING! So flavorful and filled with delicious blackened chicken. The pasta came with a salad. This pasta dish for 2 was on the pricier side ($40). Both meals were delicious. The complimentary tomato basil bread was also great!

The North Star is a clean Virginia roadside diner offering delicious food. My neighbor and I were visiting Buchanan to have his John Deere mower serviced, and we asked the salespeople where we could get a good lunch. The staff unanimously recommended the North Star, but we were cautioned not to order the double-cheeseburger unless we were very hungry. They were right. It is rare to get a burger prepared exactly the way I prefer one (cheese, ketchup, and loaded with grilled onions), and the North Star didn't disappoint. My friend ordered the double-cheeseburger and loved his meal as well. The fries were really good, and reminiscent of New York diner fries. My wife and I have been back more than a few times when we are in the mood for an excellent burger.

Real talk: I stumbled upon this eatery years ago, but never had the opportunity to go 'off the beaten path' on our road trips to stop by - I couldn't wait to check this local eatery with their super cute logo! The hubs and I stopped by here and had a biscuit sandwich, a Hot Roast Beef dinner, and one of their famous hand-pattied burgers (which we actually stayed for an additional hour or so, as they weren't serving the burgers until later!). While the biscuit was forgettable, the hot roast beef was so scrumptious! It was so hearty, savory, and stick-to-your-rib deliciousness, and such a comfort meal on a plate! The burger was ginormous, and you can tell that they hand-form the fresh patties; the patty was super juicy and all the toppings were fresh. Service was so friendly, welcoming, and with a smile! The restaurant itself has such a charm, and I'd love to be able to return again to check out their holiday buffets!

    So Maw and Paw's Diner is like a local's favorite in Eagle Rock. The town is small and there…read morereally isn't anything else around for a while unless you drive to Subway at Sunset Market so begger's can't be choosers. My dad used to love to come here for the buffet after Sunday services at the church and we would stop in here for a burger during summers after he picked me up when he got off work. Their burgers are handmade (meaning they are hand pattied) and used to be very good. During certain times when you stop in there will be buffets offered with things like frog's legs and the like so if you want to get some local country fixings you can try to haunt the board for those things. I tend to stick to what I know and go with simple items and wouldn't order anything other than a sandwich or the burger from here. It's simple food with a simple kitchen and it's very good for what it is. But this is not a fancy place. It's a small diner in a small town run by friendly locals. Temper your expectations, if you find yourself here and hungry, it'll hit the spot.
