We visited the restaurant after having a great time at the drive-through zoo nearby. The service was great, and everyone was friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I really don't have any complaints. Definitely will visit again if we're back in thr area.

Ribs
Kaitlin G.

BBQ after visiting the Natural Bridge, yes please!!! Stopped by for lunch and sat inside! The ladies working were so friendly! We sat down and they grabbed us our drinks immediately, and were quick to take our food order. The food was fantastic!!! I ordered the ribs, which I was told they just took them out of the smoker!! And I got two sides, mashed potatoes and baked beans. It also come with corn bread. The ribs tasted so good and their honey BBQ sauce was a wonderful complement to the meat!! The baked beans were delicious and had pulled pork in them. I thoroughly enjoyed the mashed potatoes and cornbread too! My fiancé got a platter with pulled pork and chicken. He also got two sides Mac n cheese and broccoli. He loved their Mac n cheese!!! Stop by for some great BBQ!!! I recommend it!

My family and I were passing through from West Virginia and decided to give this place a shot and I'm glad that we did! Great food, great atmosphere and great service!

Smokehouse Nachos with pulled pork and cowboy candy jalapeños

As a rule, I try to avoid fast food and corporate chain restaurants. This leads me to small restaurants and roadside BBQ joints everywhere I travel. I rolled into Foothill Momma's BBQ while driving through Lexington, Virginia. As the last section of a strip mall, it didn't seem like a BBQ joint. Clean and well lit with ample parking doesn't feel very old-school. I looked over the menu while the blues played in the background. All that changed when the appetizer arrived. Hand cut potato chips were crisp and hidden under a mountain of cheese, pickled candy jalapeños, sauce, and real deal smoked Pulled pork. Main course was ribs, more pulled pork, garlic smashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, baked beans, and hand cut fries. (3 people in the party and we traded sides.) Portions were big. The sides were homemade and delicious. But any BBQ is measured by it's smoked meats. Mommas's leaves no doubt that they are authentic BBQ. The ribs pulled clean off the bone with great smoke flavor, the pulled pork was tender and flavorful, and the chicken breasts were juicy. If you stop by Foothill Momma's you owe yourself a dessert. The carrot cake was very good, but they have an amazing taste in my Peanut Butter Cream Pie. I've eaten way too many pies in my life, but this is the best peanut butter pie that I've had. The bill was average for a BBQ joint. The great care and generous portions make it a great value. This BBQ. Joint needs to be on your list if you're ever in the Lexington area.

I love barbecue so whenever we travel I alike to find these non-chain barbecue options. This place did not disappoint! Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive and it was VERY clean. Will definitely stop here again when traveling this way again!

Ribs, mac n cheese and collards
Brian G.

Came in town from Jersey and wanted BBQ, glad I stopped here. Everyone was friendly and the food was on point, they put a few sauces out as condiments. Vinegar based sauce as well as tomato based. Honey as well as a sweet spicy sauce. The portions are a little small but oh so good !! I had collard greens and mac n cheese. Probably best i have had. Ribs were nicely done but would like more.

See all

Pulled pork is awesome. BBQ Nachos with cowboy candy are great. Beware the ribs...they aren't KC, Texas, or any other style I know of.

Unplanned but fortunate lunch stop on a road trip from NoVA to NOLA. If you're traveling I-81, it's…read morejust 5 or so miles down Rt. 11, which snakes back and forth across '81, so it's not really a "detour". It's in Lexington, home of VMI, and the shop itself is diagonal from a post office built in 1911 with large columns lining its edifice. Sometimes, when college students leave great reviews, that means good food that isn't too expensive. True here, especially for what you get: generous servings on amazing bakery breads. I had the "Sorry Charlie" on a slice of focaccia -- topped with tomato slices and melted cheese and a satisfyingly crunchy, warm crust, with a simple but nicely refreshing black bean and corn salad. Dessert treats are also worth a splurge. The people couldn't be friendlier with customers of all ages enjoying themselves. (And they have a coffee bar. And a "speakeasy"!)

A soup and sandwich joint with lots of baked goods -- that's Blue Sky…read more It was a cold and drizzly day when I visited, and a bowl of butternut squash soup was the perfect thing. I also got The Yardbird sandwich after the server recommended it. It's basically just chicken salad and lettuce between a ciabatta roll, but it was simple and great. And what the heck: I can't visit a bakery that has multiple sweets without getting one. I also listened to the advice of the server when she recommended the orange scone. She was right again! It was tender and tasted like a Froot Loop. Blue Sky is located on the corner of a busy street. There are lots of tables, but if you can, sit at the bar that looks out onto the street to see the hustling and bustling college town.

I love this cozy bakery. I stopped here with my family for breakfast and loved the artwork posted…read moreabout. We came for a simple breakfast but found it was really really delicious. My 6yo daughter had the waffles, I got the twoseez which was basically toast, scrambled eggs and bacon (which said daughter took), pre-teen son had a bagel sandwich, and wife had an omelette. My wife's omelette was extremely flavorful. What really made it wonderful was the owner's kindness and honesty. Knowing we were tourists asked us what we planned on doing and when mentioning the near by safari park, he said "oh don't play to feed the animals" which was exactly what we needed our kids to hear because two week prior the kids had a field trip to a petting zoo and my daughters class including her all got sick and I didn't want a repeat of that on our vacation... so thank you dude. But also he gave some insider info on where else to go around and that was also appreciated.

We got…read moreup to leave and and an Asian male worker who was escorting other people into the restaurant saw us leaving. He said good bye, I said we were leaving as we did not get service. He began to go on a rant about how his restaurant works. I said good bye again and walked out the door. He followed us into the street raising his voice and cursing us. I just kept saying good bye as we walked away to the sound to his street mouth curses. IDK who hired this person, or if he owns it, he is in the wrong business. Maybe he should consider another occupation. I would suggest truck driver, but I would not want to degrade the truck drivers to his level. My recommendation is to go somewhere else till he learns hospitality and some manors.

The waitress was very friendly and very accommodating with recommendations for dietary restrictions. The fried chicken is an absolute must.. perfectly fried and crispy and good balance of flavors. We tried a few other things that was pretty average like the open faced turkey sandwich and the salmon and mash potatoes. I would also recommend getting the gravy on the side and eating everything with it... not exactly sure what is in it but keep doing your thing Southern Kitchen. Will definitely be coming through again the next time we are in town.

Horrible. Waitress was drunk and food was bad as well…read more Went on Friday Nov 28 for lunch. We like this place as it is local and has ( had) good food and service. We were seated quickly and we noticed our waitress was Slow on getting to the tables for drinks and after about 10 minutes she came by and got our drinks. Upon her getting close and speaking it was very apparent she was very intoxicated and I remarked that it was sad about her condition. As we waited for our food we watched her interactions with other tables and she had problems remembering what table was which. She delivered food to the wrong tables and dropped other food on the floor trying to deliver it. Her fellow waitresses were actually calling her out in the middle of the dining room telling her to get her act together. When she delivered the food the hamburger steak platter was literally a dry hamburger patty that was old and had a thimble of gravy. the mashed potatoes were instant and had been poorly mixed because the powder was still dry in the middle. The glazed carrots were old soggy and brown ( see the picture) . We never got a bill because she just disappeared completely. We went to pay and the cashier was able to look up the order and we spoke to her about the waitress needing some help and her condition and all she would say is " we will try"
