We also ordered the fried pickles and cheese curds as well as some beers and ciders. It was a good place for us to meet up and catch up. The service was fast and very friendly. The seating is limited. They have outdoor seating but it was raining the day we went. Everyone liked their burgers although one person said it was a bit small. The cheese curds and pickles were over breaded and overfried. The grilled cheese had hardly any cheese on it but the cook did accommodate my request to add tomato which was appreciated. This place has potential.

I had been excited to visit this restaurant since hearing such great things about it - it did not disappoint! The menu changes daily so check the website to ensure you like what's being offered. Most often you will. All entrées are served with a salad and bread, and the same sides of a starch and vegetable. This Saturday night I had the yellowfin tuna and it was so tender and cooked perfectly. M husband had the chicken, and while he does not prefer chicken thighs he really enjoyed his meal. We enjoyed a glass each of "house" Pinot noir and since wine is what they do very well it was a great choice since we didn't want a whole bottle. The ambience is country comfort and the service was charming and welcoming. This is after all a small town; the food quality was fresh and delicious. Will be back, and next time with friends.

Food (5/5): Best grilled cheese! We always split one and get the daily soup. We've not been disappointed. If you get a bottle of wine you pay a corkage fee. Service (5/5): Always nice service here! Ambiance (4/5): This reminds me of being in an eclectic country house. The rustic decor reminds me of a grandma- perfect for the country grandma vibe!

When we arrived we noticed a tastefully decorated dining room and were seated promptly. They have some lunch specials and a full menu. You'll find something you like. We ordered off the lunch menu. My wife had the chicken wrap and loved it! I had the cheesesteak. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and cheesesteak purists would be unhappy with this sandwich. I thought it was very good. The sandwich comes with steak, Swiss cheese, onions and mayonnaise. I asked for peppers and they only had jalapeños. They were a very good addition to the sandwich. This isn't a cheesesteak per se, but it's a very good steak sandwich. We'll be back when we travel US 29.

I also got The Yardbird sandwich after the server recommended it. It's basically just chicken salad and lettuce between a ciabatta roll, but it was simple and great. And what the heck: I can't visit a bakery that has multiple sweets without getting one. I also listened to the advice of the server when she recommended the orange scone. She was right again! It was tender and tasted like a Froot Loop. Blue Sky is located on the corner of a busy street. There are lots of tables, but if you can, sit at the bar that looks out onto the street to see the hustling and bustling college town.

It's in Lexington, home of VMI, and the shop itself is diagonal from a post office built in 1911 with large columns lining its edifice. Sometimes, when college students leave great reviews, that means good food that isn't too expensive. True here, especially for what you get: generous servings on amazing bakery breads. I had the "Sorry Charlie" on a slice of focaccia -- topped with tomato slices and melted cheese and a satisfyingly crunchy, warm crust, with a simple but nicely refreshing black bean and corn salad. Dessert treats are also worth a splurge. The people couldn't be friendlier with customers of all ages enjoying themselves. (And they have a coffee bar. And a "speakeasy"!)
