This place is soul food personified. While it looks small on the outside it's quite spacious inside. The wait staff was super nice and accommodating. This was our first time trying this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised for our meals my mom opted for fried fish (whiting) her two sides of choice were coleslaw and sweet potatoes but she got an extra side of corn pudding my meal I opted for the smothered chicken livers and added a crab cake my sides were spoon bread and collard greens with an extra side of cabbage. Everything I tasted was delicious my mom didn't care for the coleslaw but she said it wasn't bad just wasn't for her. We had to eat kind of fast because the flies started coming in I also took a piece of apple cobbler home but I should've eaten it inside. All in all my only critique was I wish the food was a tad bit hotter I wanted to see smoke but the flavors were on point. I will be back on a Friday for turkey wings! They really make you feel like family there! Almost forgot the cornbread with each meal melts in your mouth!

Clockwise from the bottom: Meatloaf, cabbage, spoonbread and cornbread.

We were passing through and found this cute restaurant. They greet you like you are family when you walk in. Kira was our server and she took great care of us. We both had the special of the day - meatloaf. I come from a long line of southern cooks and my grandparents owned a restaurant for years. This was the BEST meatloaf I've ever had. Everything was just delicious. If you find yourself near Ashland, this place is a MUST.

Smothered pork chops.

Great food, excellent service and southern hospitality. I'm from the west coast and in my area we do not have access to soul food. Highly recommend the smothered pork chops and fried chicken.

Stopped by this spot while traveling through the area. Fried chicken was amazing. Sides were just average to me. Service was super friendly and helpful, but server left to go on an errand and got forgotten about - so I had to go to the register to get another drink and ask for my check.

Southern hospitality on display. The staff wee so laid back, cheerful and helpful. The restaurant has the feel of home and a spot in a small town - very authentic and welcoming feel. The highlight of this dinner was the potato salad. It tasted amazing, creamy and hearty. The gravy with the por chop was so good I slurped it down fast! The plate had 2 big slices of chops that were so tender. The amount of onion was just perfect. The plate may not look appetizing but the food tasted so good and felt like grandma was cooking in the back! Mac and cheese was ok - this is subjective because I am not a mac cheese person. The corn bread would have been beter warm and with soft butter. Good place for families!

Club Sandwich

A great phone find by the wife while we were zipping along 95 headed to N.C. This little place (in corner of a big strip mall) is welcoming and feels fgood from the moment you walk in. Annie (I guess) greets you like your family, and you seat yourself. The decor is simple, and clean, almost Spartan (I like that, can't stand over decorated spaces). The menu is one-page front and back (I like that too). The wife tried the Baloney Burger, I got a club sandwich and fried okra. We started with onion rings, ended up with two orders of fries as well (server mistake). I guess there is really no mystery how we put back on the 40lb we had lost during covid ! Anyway, the food is simple, well prepared and certainly demonstrates the wonderful personal story behind the restaurant. The baloney was thick slab, fried perfectly, her only minor complaint was the burger bun didn't quite hold up to all the goodness happening from the meat, mayo, lettuce, fried onion. Maybe a texas toast or sourdough or kaiser would be better than traditional burger bun? My club was straightforward, lots of lunchmeat turkey, ham, good bacon. The bread was standard loaf, toasted nicely. Again as an upgrade a sturdier slice/bigger slice would carry all the stuffings better. All the fried things were well done, clean oil obviously. The place smelled clean and looked clean. Annie and her team has done well, this is a quality place. We would certainly come back.

If you are trying to support a local business over a chain, this is the place you need to go! This…read morespot is an absolute gem. It was a bit hidden but great location next to an actual train track. Interestingly enough, a train passed through while we dinned. I'm sure the outside experience it better than indoors. However, the outside tables is more limited. They feature a small menu, but you can tell they focus on fresh ingredients. Quality over quantity. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, and it was easily one of the best I have ever had! What really elevates it is the inclusion of thinly sliced apples; they provide a fantastic crunch and a perfect sweet-tart balance. You have to try it! We stopped by during a busy Tuesday lunch rush, and despite the place being packed, the staff was very attentive. Everyone was kind and clearly working hard, doing their absolute best to check in on us and keep things moving. Highly recommend this local spot for a fresh, high-quality lunch!

What an amazing lunch today at The Caboose Market & Cafe in Ashland, Virginia. The cafe is located…read morein downtown Historic Ashland near the railroad tracks. The old building has a nostalgic flare with a cozy interior atmosphere! The cafe was full and for good reason, the food was excellent! We started with the grilled cornbread and Frico wine. The cornbread was absolutely delicious and the wine was perfect! My husband had the Caboose Burger and said it was good but nothing special. I had the Fig Pro Quo and it was spectacular! I had a side salad which was simple but really delicious! It was a great first experience and I'm looking forward to going back! My kind of place for sure!

I thought the…read moresandwhich was a letdown it was pretty bland tasting didn't have much flavor the roll was nice and soft and tasted good. We also got chocolate chess pie. It was nice and rich with great flavor. Nice dark chocolate flavor mixed with buttery crust. My view on this place has pretty tiny portions too.

Last Friday's lunch decision directed me to this small town delicious spot. I hadn't been there in…read moreyears. First, I checked out the menu that is posted on the wall, and tried to make the right decision. EVERYTHING is homemade. Ok, I decided on the Tuna Salad on a white homemade yeast roll. You can select one side, so I had cucumber, tomato and onion salad. I couldn't pass up on fresh lemonade and a slice of one of the most delicious coconut pie I've ever had. The lady that took my order was soooo sweet and of course knowledgeable of the menu. I didn't feel rushed, just relaxed. Soooo we had the most interesting conversation that concluded her parents knew my mother back in the day. I didn't expect tears of joy at lunch. It was lovely! I didn't get her name, but I'll never forget her until I return with friends and family to experience this "small town" treasure. Ok, the food. The roll was golden brown, soft and screamed HomeMade. It was filled with a white flaky and well seasoned tuna salad, topped with fresh crunchy shredded lettuce. YUM ! The cucumber, grape tomato and onion salad had a lite vinaigrette dressing. Fresh !! There is freshly made strawberry lemonade, lemonade, Iced tea and the Pepsi fountain drink products. Ok, the star of the show. That slice of coconut pie was Perfect. The crust was brown, very flaky and filled with a thick creamy coconut filling. This little cute old town restaurant is next to the railroad track and train station that's across from Randolph Macon College. It's popular to the students and residents of Ashland. If you would like A DELICIOUS Lunch in a warm and cute small town restaurant, come to Homemade's by Suzanne!!!! Thank you
