Driving through on my way back to Tennessee and they were super busy at lunch, but my waiter was incredibly friendly, as was the gentleman seating folks at the door. My grilled chicken Caesar was on point and when I asked about a local coffee shop, the server brought me a half cup of their coffee to try for free. Would absolutely recommend. read more

The only bad meal I have had in Abingdon . . . how's that for a start? The only notable exception to my poor experience was the tomato bisque, which was perfect. Besides the bisque, I ordered the Cobb salad with Bleu cheese dressing. The chicken was rubbery, the Bleu Cheese dressing tasted like store bought mayonnaise and was almost completely devoid of Bleu cheese, and the price, especially considering the quality, was outrageous. Then they ran out of iced tea. Wow! How about brewing some more? My advice: go elsewhere! read more

Such a cute little restaurant with really good food!! We started with the Parmesan fries and like please do yourself a favor and get these!! They are FANTASTIC!! I then got a Caesar salad and that was also amazing! The fish tacos I got were good too but maybe a little too fishy (maybe I just don't really like fish idk) The sauce on them was so good though!Would definitely eat here again!! If you take anything from this recommendation get the fries though!! read more

EVERYTHING was an "OMG" moment! We were greeted warmly and fortunate to sit outside on the patio. The staff was very interested in making sure everything was good. The food! The tomato bisque was perfection. I could eat a very large kettle of that be happy. The special of the day, herb crusted rock fish, was recommended and very, very good. The patio was so nice to enjoy the fresh air and relaxing environment. Highly Recommended. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by a local. The atmosphere is very nice, the staff is even nicer, and the food was better than everything else. I had the Meatloaf, which comes in a serving size big enough to fill the hungriest person on earth - topped with a side of mashed potatoes and some green beans. My wife had the artichoke chicken pasta. She tried getting me to taste it, which means she loves it. They have a bar and drink specials. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

128 Pecan - Main Hall - New American Near Me - Abingdon, Virginia

Disappointed and dissatisfied are the best way to describe our experience. Starting off, our server seemed disengaged and unconcerning with serving us. We ordered trout, but was told they were out of trout. The server claimed they had yellow snapper prepared the same way as the trout. Being naive I guess on our end, we said sure. What a mistake! What came out was unrecognizable as any kind of fish we had ever seen. It was so tough we couldn't cut it with a knife. I guess we should have said something, but didn't out of respect to the customers sitting close to us. I'm not sure what happened, but please do some quality control with staff and food prep. I think it'll pay off down the road. read more

We had an outstanding meal here. It was from yelp reviews that we chose this place and we were very happy. Next time in the area, we'd go again. read more

128 Pecan - OMG - try the parmesan fries. - New American Near Me - Abingdon, Virginia

I highly recommend this place, but you may have a short wait, parking is everywhere, front, side, back, church. Entrance is covered by bushes/trees but it's right off alley and Pecan, you'll see a sign that says "Jack's" 128 Pencan under the Jack's sign that's the entrance. The staff was extremely friendly, the food was awesome, we had the Salmon taco special and smashed burger, salads were good size, the tomato bisque was great. Dessert can't go wrong we had creme brulee and butter brown cake both awesome. We would go back and we do recommend. read more

This is an old house converted into a quaint little restaurant. The staff was pleasant and courteous . I ordered fish tacos and house made chips, my husband ordered a Cuban sandwich and fries. Followed by blueberry cobbler served warm with vanilla ice cream. We sat on the porch and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. If we are ever back this way, we will be sure to stop here again. read more

Hidden treasure. In a neighboring town for a wedding, ask a local and he didn't disappoint. Great building, great atmosphere, and most importantly great food! All four of us left full and extremely happy! read more

I was in the town of Abbington overnight for work. Had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at 128 Pecan. The chicken Caesar salad was on point and the service was absolutely wonderful. If I had the time, I would've definitely stayed and spent some time at the quaint bar near the front of the restaurant. The mixologist looked like he was serving up some wonderful cocktails! I will definitely be back to try those. read more

This is a toast of Abingdon and a reason to come back to the city. Abingdon is quaint, special and a great place to be near outdoor activities. Then when you are hungry for healthier craft food, you come here. The service is so genuine, nice and authentic. The food was yummy. The tomato bean soup on a cold day hit the spot. It was fresh with a good mineral/earthy (natural the way it should be) flavor and had quality ingredients. If you are a foodie and like local, come here. The menu is just right in size, but everything sounded so good, I had a hard time deciding. If you like veggies and some spice, the cauliflower app with a curry aioli was perfect. They also dust their fried oysters better than I could ever attempt to try. It made me want to come back for their mushrooms and I only eat fried foods on occasion which brings me to the fries; They were skinny and perfect. We were also happy that you could get a burger medium rare which says a ton about the beef quality. They had a quality bar as well and made a nice pour. The entire staff was a blessing... Thank you! read more

So nice, I had to do it twice! I was in Abingdon for a work trip this week for only 2 days. Thanks to the popular Yelp reviews for this place, my colleague and I landed here for dinner around 7 pm on Wednesday. This was our first time in. I ordered Justa Burger (comes with a side) and we split a peach cobbler for desert. I believe my colleague had the trout (can't remember the details). Although I was considerably hungry anyway, the experience far exceeded my expectations. Immediately as you walk in, you're greeted with the stories of patrons' past via the signed dinner plates adorning the walls. There was no wait whatsoever, in fact I only noticed a few other parties eating there at the time. It really has the local, small town feel if that's what you're looking for. We wanted some outdoor patio seating, but the closest thing they have an indoor space that, to a small extent, feels like a screened in porch when the windows are open. The trout was SO fresh. My burger was nothing extraordinary, but it was good, had all the toppings and fixings on the side so you could add what you want onto the actual sandwich. It was a nice serving that I was unable to finish despite my severe hunger after traveling 6 hours across time zones that day. I boxed up the rest and nibbled on later that day. The cobbler was everything I should not be eating. It doesn't have the typical hard crust you may be used to, it comes out almost like a bread pudding and is served with ice cream. Unless you still have a big void to fill in your stomach after you meal, one order of cobbler is good for 2 people. Last, but certainly not least, we had the pleasure of being served by Elizabeth who was just delightful. We called in another order ahead of catching our flights and heading out of town. I got the caesar salad with blackened chicken and some of that peach cobbler. There was a warning the blackened chicken may be spicy..it is not spicy. If I'm ever back in Abingdon, 128 Pecan will be one of my initial stops. read more

This place is my favorite in the town! I've gone for several years. I've never had a bad meal or experience. The tomato basil soup is always great - thick, warm, very flavorful. The black bean cake is a personal favorite - filling, tasty, and simply delicious. If the fried oysters are on the menu they are super pleasant- light, fresh, sweet. However many you order won't be enough. read more

My husband and I were recommended this place while in town and it did not disappoint. We shared a Philly steak sandwich & each had a cup of Tomato Soup. The food was great, the service was amazing and the ambiance was just right as we visited later in the evening for a quick bite. Staff is efficient, friendly and professional. We will definitely eat here again when visiting the area. read more

This place is AMAZING! I work one week a month in Lebanon,Va. the hotel I usually stay in was closed due to lack of staffing. (Welcome to 2021). I ended up staying in Abington and looked for a restaurant close to the hotel that wasn't a chain. This one popped up and i am so happy that it did! I was greeted promptly and eagerly by a young man who quickly showed me my table. Within seconds I was greeted by Amy, a super friendly gal who quickly brought my drink and took my order. I ordered the fried oyster tacos and they were amazing , with Parmesan fries. Sooooo good. This place is amazing. The service was superior! Everyone that enters the door is treated like a friend. I will be back!!!! read more

Oh my gosh! So God I ate here for dinner last night and lunch today. Both were excellent! My good friend invited me to Abingdon VA for a girlfriend getaway and took me to her favorite place for a celebratory birthday dinner. The cracker encrusted trout was a amazing last night...so Fresh and moist and flavorful, without the crust overpowering the fish. And the tomato bisque was the best I've had. Today's lunch was even better. We shared the black bean cake salad and the oyster tacos and the fried green tomato pimento cheese sandwich. I can't remember anything tasting that good and could not choose which was best. Then the chef owner surprised us with a slice of yummy home made coconut cream pie and delicious coffee. We will be back! read more

Very friendly. Huge portions and food is tasty although nothing new. Cool art and nice ambience.

So this was our second option after finding out The Tavern needed reservations. After waiting to be seated, we were seated in a room with three other tables. On a date night without our little one, we looked forward to a quiet evening. Sadly, this wasn't to be since the table behind us had a rather loud talking young woman. She decided that it was appropriate conversation to talk about the most horrific patient she's ever intubated in the ER. I almost lost my dinner. Speaking of dinner, we were rather underwhelmed. The parmesan fries were pretty good. The salads were ok but served on cheap glass plates with captain's wafers. !! My ribeye was really good but the mashed potatoes were dry. Hubby was fine with his shrimp and grits. The portion just seemed a little small. (Weird to note, my steak was served with a paper placemat under it with Chinese zodiac. ??) We won't hurry back. Next time, we'll make reservations at The Tavern. read more

128 Pecan - Parmesan fries. Yummy! - New American Near Me - Abingdon, Virginia

Upon walking in, it seemed like it was a very small place, but it opened up a lot more than I expected and they have several branched off dining rooms. The food was, frankly, incredible. With the Parmesan fries as an appetizer, we all left very satisfied. I highly, highly recommend the low country pasta. It was not only a big bowl, but simply so delicious. They offered a good selection, but was small enough to let you know that they're working hard on each dish and stick to their specialty. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Great selection on the menu without being overwhelming. Wonderful service. The gentleman who served me did a great job recommending dishes. I ordered the pork belly sandwich with a house salad. Food combinations were well selected and tasted wonderfully. Every employee was on there best game and did a great job anticipating customer needs. read more

LOVED the lunch I had there a couple of weeks ago, it was a grilled pimento and fried green tomato sandwich on sourdough bread with a side Caesar salad. I have craved this for weeks since dining there in a Saturday afternoon. read more

I love to find family owned restaurants while traveling. This was such a lovely place in a quaint area. Not far off the highway. Walking in the door you are greeted with cheerful welcome. The menu was nice but the staff even nicer. Outdoor atmosphere was comfortable. read more

Stopped here while driving through the state. Happened to be a very busy festival day which made me wish we could stay and check it out. Nice little town. This restaurant was the same. Very interesting and quaint. I had the fried green tomato with pimento cheese sandwich because "when in Rome". Or in this case Abingdon. It was an interesting combo. The pimento cheese tasted homemade. I wish there had been more green tomatoes as their flavor was masked by the pimento cheese. It was good but wished it was better. That said no one complained or didn't finish their food. I'd return and plan to spend a day checking out the town. read more

Everything on the menu is awesome! Fun surroundings and great service! After dinner you can walk on Main Street and enjoy all the cute shops. read more

The best smash burger in a restaurant that I've ever had!!! And the service was quick and friendly.

We were just stopping in Abingdon for the night, took a gander at Yelp to find dinner, and landed here. The food is really good, as is the service. The ambiance is amazing. Parking is a bit of a bear. The adjacent shops all have signs up that they will tow anyone not shopping in their particular store. We eventually found some parking on the side of the building with the restaurant, down a one lane drive. Yelp says this is casual. This isn't 't-shirt and jeans' casual, but they let me in anyway and made me feel right at home. read more

Great food with an awesome atmosphere! Service was amazing! Highly recommend this little eatery!

I go there for the black bean soup. They recently stopped having it. I don't go there anymore. read more

I can't say enough about our complete positive experience here. Noah, our waiter, gave impeccable service with a genuine smile. I am very particular about restaurants when I travel because I want to experience the best the local are has to offer. The blending together of flavors in each bite was an explosion of deliciousness. The roasted cauliflower and jalapeño hush puppies were a favorite at our table. We had a variety of dishes and all shared. To top it off the brown butter cake with pecan ice cream and caramel drizzle was to die for! Highly recommend making this a priority stop when visiting the area. read more

Took my 92 year old Mother for lunch and the staff couldn't have been nicer to her. Food was very tasty and she loved her crab cake sandwich and she is hard to please. read more

Wonderful dinner! Jack and Jill cocktail and rum punch were both delicious and well made drinks. My husband enjoyed their draft beers. Started with oyster tacos. They were perfect, with an excellent ginger sauce. The chili crusted salmon with cheese grits was a wonderful entree and the Low country shrimp was delicious. Brown butter cake with ice cream finished the evening, a dessert to return to enjoy. Our server Trey made the evening flow smoothly and gave wonderful guidance on the menu items. Glad we made the decision to eat here. We will return! read more

What a cute, sweet, eclectic restaurant. Small menu with so many options. We were on our way home from a short vacation and stopped in after looking at the reviews. Started with some Rose' Spritzers! YUMMY!. My husband selected the Cuban with potato salad and I selected the Fried Green Tomato Pimento Cheese Sandwich with Pasta salad. OMG! We enjoyed every single bite. It was great. My husband had to travel back by and almost sent me a picture saying he was going to stop in...looking forward to going back. read more

Yelp FTW. Stopped by for lunch on a busy weekend [VA Highland Festival). Told us 30 mins but we waited 15. Ate in the room behind the bar...plenty of light but less character than other areas. We got the crab cake sandwich and an oyster platter (available typically only for dinner but the waiter said it was no problem). Everything was great. Fries that came with oysters with crisp and well salted. The coleslaw was slightly sweet the way we like it. Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce homemade and very tasty. Oysters were perfect. read more

The closed sign was just put up when we walked up to the door. Defeated, we walked away. The lovely hostess opened the door and called us back. We had just had a LONG drive and wanted a good meal. We promised to be quick! The food was excellent, the decor was eclectic and really fun to look at. Our waiter (I think owner, too, perhaps) was friendly, energetic, and welcoming. I highly recommend. read more

128 Pecan is a really cute small-house type of restaurant with wonderful food. It has a great balance of casual blended with a feeling of well thought-out quality. The staff is friendly and charming like Abingdon itself. We stopped in for a quick lunch on our way to a wedding. We both had the same thing: a frosted-glass pint of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a piping hot cup of the mushroom-rosemary soup, and the catfish po' boy (with ample pickles, as served). It may sound like a very simple meal, and it was, but everything was just perfect. Coming from Colorado, I'd expect we don't really know what a good po' boy tastes like, but I've had quite a few on my travels, and let me just say this one is divine. The fish, itself, was ... perfect. So, we'd recommend this better than the beaten-path choice of places to dine with our highest recommendations. It's not trying to bat out of its league, and the overall experience was just great. read more
