    Rack of lamb with mushrooms and a baked potato
    Great B.

    This is a family owned business since 1993, every time in visits Altavista I always eat here. The staff are friendly and efficient, they grill right out in front, amazing food from burgers to steaks to fish. My favorite is the Cajun crawfish for appetizer it's sooooo good I could eat it twice over, the soak up all the soup with bread mmmmmm Then I get the rack of lamb, medium rare it's absolutely delicious juicy tender and lots of flavor, if this is not on the menu I then have the sea food platter, this is a tuna steak scallops and shrimp Mmmm perfectly done and full of flavor!! I had to buy a t shirt Love this place, never had a bad meal

    Literally the best prime rib I've eaten in my life. Absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection!!! The sides were fantastic. Amazing environment and setting in the country! Service was second to none!

    Petit Filet, done to a PERFECT medium rare,, green beans and mashed potato with brown gravy.

    Doesn't look like much when you walk in, but be prepared for the best steak of your life. I'll admit, the salad and sides aren't great, but the crawfish étouffée is amazing. Available as either an appetizers entree size. The fried mushroom app is great, also. The hamburger is awesome and Rick makes the best Bloody Mary's in town (tell him Mary sent ya! He'll know what you mean.).

    Perkeys is a local Steakhouse Restaurant known by everyone locally! If you are not from around here ( central VA) or never been; I will strongly suggest that you make a reservation and wear a mask. If you want to go from their menu order before 5pm!

    One star for the steak and one for the service the rest I could have done without. First, I want to say I came into this with a open mind and being fully aware this is not a chain steakhouse. The inside is very small and cramped which wouldn't have mattered if the food lived up to the hype. To sum up the food it was like going to your grandpa's house for for dinner and he breaks out his family famous steak. The salad was a palm full of lettuce with a couple tomato dices and cheese, the baked potato was the size you'd find in a 5lb bag at your grocery store, and my wife's upcharge mushrooms were the ones that come from a jar and we're heated up and the butter were the tiny square packs you get at dinners. My wife made the remark it's like they did the bare minimum so they could say you got a steak "dinner". The steak was good on par with Texas Roadhouse but for $25 all I got was a 10oz ribeye where at TR you'd get 16oz. The $10 scallops I got were good as well but only four so I was disappointed there too. I'm sure the local older crowd are thrilled with the food and prices but for me it's a pass!
