    Todays visit was our third to the Virginia Diner and it was by far the best, though our earlier…read morevisits were great too. My wife and I both got the the Country Fried steak (again) because it was wonderful last two times. My grandson got the Gunslinger Burger. Our waitress, Caitlin was excellent and brought everything promptly. The presentation of the country fried steaks is a bit plain but the flavor could not be better. I did have to send my mashed potatoes and gravy back to be heated but Caitlin came back with a fresh replacement which is so hot I couldn't eat it. And this time they were as delicious as the steaks were. The green beans were also well seasoned and the biscuit that came with the dinner was superb. My my grandson's burger was clearly juicy, and so big he couldn't finish it! For dessert, I got the chocolate chess pie and my wife got the peanut pie with ice cream. The chess pie was a bit too chocolatey for me, and so my chocoholic wife and I swapped. We both loved our new choices. This is probably the best country food restaurant I've ever eaten at. I hope to repeat today's experience at the Virginia Diner many more times in the future.

    Don't fall for the advertisement. We were visiting Virginia Beach and surrounding areas from Texas…read moreand since there is so much construction on 64 we had to take a diff route. We were looking for a place to eat and and since there ain't much to choose from in the area we decided to stop. Once we sat down which didn't take long we asked for a few mins to look through the menu. Our waitress just took her sweet time. When she finally came back to take our order she was just plain rude. A friend of ours didn't want her eggs runny. Instead of the waitress saying "I suggest over med or over well/hard" she just kept rolling her eyes and making faces. The place wasn't really full maybe about 10-15 people and most already had their food. So once we ordered our food it took forever to come out. During the whole meal I'd see other waitresses asking tables if they needed more coffee and what not and our waitress barely came around and never once asked if we needed refills. Now to the food part. I got some egg and ham breakfast with a side of cheesy grits. Ive never had VA ham and since I saw it on the menu I said why not? IDK how y'all eat this ham it was like eating spoonfuls of salt I was regretting adding a bit of salt to my eggs. The "cheesy" grits were not the best. I was expecting cheesy grits not just cheese over grits. I did finish it all considering we still had a ways to go to our next stop and the meal wasn't cheap. In the end we decided to get their famous peanut pie to go. Again idk how y'all eat this,it was literally the worst pie I've had in my life.

The mangoes were an unexpectedly pleasant touch and even though I was full, I kept grazing on it throughout my meal. And of course I also had to try the fajitas.

We stopped by on a Sunday evening after a long trip up from Florida. We were seated immediately in the one room dining room. Nothing fancy but it has a big menu. Basically all your favorite Mexican dishes. I ordered the enchiladas nortenas, which was delicious. It was cheese enchiladas smothered in pork, tomatoes, onions and peppers in a broth and accompanied by rice and guacamole (with lettuce). I'm here for it. It was messy and yummy. My dining companion got the beef quesadilla which he described as a bit messy too since the grease from the interior was bleeding through the tortilla. While service was friendly with chips and salsa, I found the kitchen to be unusually slow particularly for a Mexican restaurant. Each table got its food in a very measured way. So a quick meal it is not. But overall, that shouldn't dissuade you from going. We liked it after a long day of travel and a nice sit down meal overall. Nothing fancy but reasonable prices and good food is a hard combo to beat.

    I had just started a 6-hour road trip when I realized I totally forgot to properly caffeinate…read moremyself. As a lover of all things local, Yelp came to my rescue and brought me to Storehouse Coffee shop. I have passed through Franklin many times and never realized they have a downtown(?)...central(?)...main street area. I'll have to go back just to check out all the shops that hadn't opened yet. The coffee shop was bustling with morning energy. I was told there was a meet and greet event going on so I tried to stay out of the networker's way while I admired the art of the walls. I love an impulse purchase and each print had a QR code that took you to payment options right there. I LOVE THAT. What a wonderful way to have unique art in your home and support local artists. And not just any artist but pieces by CLAYTON SINGLETON. I recognized his work from a mural at the oceanfront. I had to stop myself from picking up the beautiful Chadwick Bosman piece right then and there. I might go back to get it because I'm still thinking about it 4 days later. When I stepped up to the counter the entire staff was friendly and helpful with their suggestions on what to get. I love my local craft coffee and was excited to hear their beans were sourced from an "up and comer" in Virginia Beach. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the provider but I'm sure we will be hearing about them more. I went with a basic black cold brew that was exactly what I needed. It is businesses like these that keep an area vibrant, diverse, and attractive. I stopped for a coffee but left feeling light and bright from the atmosphere and service. I live an hour away from Franklin but Storehouse has me planning a day trip with friends to come back and see more...and probably buy some art as well.
