I love this little grocery store, Graves Market. It is not the closest market to me, Black Bear…read moreMarket is way closer, but this is my go to Market. I love this place because they are nice to me. They remember my from year to year, and they just make me feel welcome and happy. Okay, Ashley's Market does that too, but they are way further up the road! Oh, and my husband loves this place because the gas is corn free, and the price is always right. Plus, he gets a kick out of filling from the old style pumps from before the pumps became gas dispensing ATM machines that play non-stop commercials. Parking is limited, but if you live in Wintergreen, Graves Market should be your go-to stop before you start up the mountain and check-in before you go because there is not a cell service at that location.

Sometimes the best food is in unlikely places and according to Saveur Magazine and The Washington…read morePost, Mac's is a hidden gem truly hidden in middle of nowhere backwoods Virginia. It's in cellphone reception-less Roseland, Virginia off a few country roads. Once you see the only gas station for miles, it would be easy to move on, but just wait...Mac's is in the gas station! Passing a beaten up truck and a few overall wearing locals, walk inside and order the fried chicken sandwich with all the fixins (onions, lettuce, a jumbo slice of a tomato, and mayo) for a whopping $4. If they ask if you want potato wedges, save $2 and skip it. They weren't very good and you literally get 5-6 of them. The chicken sandwich itself was good for being in a gas station. It's definitely better than Chick-fil-A but not as good as the best you've ever had. If you stumble upon Mac's randomly, you'd be blown away by how good a simple gas station in literally the middle of nowhere could make such a good sandwich. However, if you're coming from a city with good food, save the trip. Sorry Saveur and The Washington Post.

The Washington Post used to publish a food column called "Crummy But Good" which highlighted places…read morewith great food but little in the way of aesthetics. To be sure, Mac's is such a place... Mac's is a nondescript country store and gas station on Highway 151 in Roseland that happens to sell outstanding fried chicken - crisp and moist with just the right seasoning. This is what fried chicken is about, not that greasy junk at KFC. Indeed, Mac's chicken is as good, if not better, than Mitchell's in Lynchburg (also in the Crummy But Good genre). Choose the number of pieces, white or dark meat and whether or not you want a side and dinner rolls. Mac's offers other items, but it's hard to make a case when the chicken is this good. The store managers are friendly and there are a handful of rustic tables in the back of the store should you wish to dine-in. Mac's is a great place to stop for lunch while visiting the local orchards. If you're willing to overlook the exterior, great fried chicken will be your reward. Just be sure to top off your tank before heading back to town.

For a few years I heard about this place. First from my husband from his work travels then from…read moreacquaintances then on the news! I finally had my first experience with Buc-cee's and I could see what all the hype is about. I was blown away when we were just approaching the area! The many cars coming and going! I was blown away again when I entered the building. It was like going to a pro game or concert, so many people! But this crowd had a different vibe. It was like a frantic vibe. Like wanting to get in or out of the building or to make sure they were not missing out in getting the popular fried chicken or something else. When I mentioned to my hubby I was going to a Bucc-ee's he asked me to try the Brisket sandwich. Brisket is always last on my list of food to try. But, I will because my hubby asked me to. He's always trying things I ask him to. Well, I am glad that I did because that sandwich was very good. The meat was not dry and it had just the right amount of bbq sauce in it. I just added chopped onions that they already had in little containers to take. Together it made it a perfect meal. They did have an option of sliced or chopped tri-tip. My friend was trying to get an order of the chicken strips but every time it came out fresh people swarmed and immediately grabbed them. She decided not to be part of that swarm. I bought a handful of snacks to try on our road trip to NC and I wanted gift to my dad (an assortment of nuts) with a fave snack of his. This place had a section (2 of them) for drinks, for cooked food, and desserts. In another area there is a gift section. We visited this place in the midst of lunch time. I wonder if this place is just as busy during late hours. Although there seems to be plenty of parking it's still madness. Be sure to pack some patience with you.

Early day. Long day. Hot day. If you're driving along TN Hwy and feeling parched because you…read moredropped / spilled / forgot your cup of ice, learned (painfully) the metal water bottle is hotter than the pavement outside, the a/c is not working well, the car spews waves of heat into the air as it gasps on the last drops of gas fumes in the tank, and now you're hallucinating palm trees, coconuts and umbrella drinks on every broken stripe on the highway, take heart. Around the next bend is Shady's. Shady's is a standard convenience store/gas station. It's a little drab on the inside, but the people who work here are pretty awesome and that brightens it up. The a/c functions (I think), the beverage coolers are well stocked with every type of liquid refreshment, there are plenty of snacks, the gas pumps work, and the stray cats outside begging for food are really good at it. The day I stopped in, Shady's air conditioning wasn't working and the employee was sitting outside in the shade; but compared with the inside of my car, I could have been at the north pole. The cold water numbed my frustration, but then so did the friendly employee who apologized for the lack of air conditioning and then spent time commiserating. I don't know though, she only might have been pretending empathy once I started talking about the umbrella drinks in the middle of the highway.
