Wow! As a little family, meat & 3 type place back off the road between the highway and state park I…read moreexpected a nice, tasty basic meal. What I got was professional chef level FLAVOR, A+ service and just all-around satisfaction! Hubby & i considered ordering the seafood platter and sharing it because we are working on portion control, but I was considering the trout but it's a pasta featuring dish and I'm limiting refined carbs. I ordered the southern fried fish (swai) but opted to get it grilled so I could "justify" the hand cut fries I spotted when we were being seated. It was the perfect choice! The fish was perfectly seasoned and perfectly plated. Soft and tender and no extra grease. Of the sides, it's difficult to pick a favorite! I cannot recall if I've EVER such phenomenal collards! Truly, the texture, balanced mix, of onions & bacon & vinegar without being soupy. Each bite was savored. Homemade hush puppies with just a touch of corn kernels and buttery batter- mmmh- chef's kiss! The handout fries were everything I hoped for and when she arrived with the "London's Pub" brand I knew they took their work seriously! Nothing fancy just good eats! Hubby opted for the grilled shrimp with old bay and the portion was generous and again, tender! The food was gone too quick for photos, so I snapped these. The server enjoyed her job and knew all the details of the menu and you could see the rapport among all the staff and kitchen leads which as someone who worked in the industry for 8 years many moons ago, I appreciate how much that impacts the customer's experience! Way to go, team!

It felt like a dream pulling in to this picturesque location (pic). Adorable classic diner from start to finish. Checkered floor, the sound of conversation and clinking silverware. Food was fantastic. Excellent prices. Real Eggs, hash browns and a huge hot cake. The staff was working their butts off. Full and bustling Sunday morning. They had a help wanted sign and the fantasy of blowing up my whole life to move here and apply was fun to ponder as I finished up my meal. I loved the way the cook said, here you go baby as she plopped my plate down, hot and fresh off the griddle. It took everything in me not to fall in love with my server. He has aura. I'll never be back and I will never forget it.

Didn't have the ingredients for the special we ordered and we weren't told until the rest of the food was started. Meaning that order would be delivered much later than rest and that person would essentially have to watch the rest of our party eat while there was cooked. The reason for the issues was probably the loud smell of marijuana that wafted through the whole restaurant. 0/10 recommend Side note. I don't know why food, service and ambience are checked green because they were not good.

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.

I LOVE Maw & Paw's Diner - this cute local eatery, literally nestled in Eagle Rock, is one of those…read morehidden gems that offers daily specials, a great variety on their breakfast/lunch/dinner menu, and holiday buffets. 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.

I think our total bill was less than a single plate at the Omni, for 2 breakfasts and 2 beverages. I think we were in around 10 AM on a Saturday.
