To say this is a local favorite is an understatement. Right off Hwy 64, you can usually follow your nose or just look for the trucks parked along the highway to find it. The pulled-pork barbecue is cooked out back, and lines form early for take-out. There are a few tables inside, but take it somewhere else – that is what the regulars do. The onion rings are a great accompaniment. This is award-winning, absolutely succulent barbecue, and people come from all over the state for it!

Their sandwiches make great meals, and along with the fresh salads and daily quiches, they form an extensive menu. The desserts are outstanding, but if you have a sandwich, you may have to get the dessert to go – the sandwiches are super-sized. Alcoholic beverages are available, and there is outdoor seating in nice weather.

Even if you do not tour the winery, this is a delightful place to have a light lunch. There are tables outside in the front and back, and the ambience is California, not Virginia. There are sandwiches, cheese platters and wonderful French bread with lox, tomatoes and cream cheese. And, there is plenty of wine. This is a restful place to get away from the well-trod tourist places. Also open for dinner during the high season.

From pizza to dessert, the chef knows what he is doing here. Creative combinations abound. The Mississippi River pie and River Crab pie have plenty of seafood, and the Maui pie features pineapple, ham, spring onions and cheese. The deep-dish pies are equally good, and the pecan pie for dessert is legendary. You may want to call ahead as they are flexible with their hours.
