I hired mountain mama catering to cater my wedding.

She has the best prices in the area and the food is AMAZING. Every single guest at my wedding was raving about the food. She can literally cook anything you ask for and it will taste amazing.

Just on food it'd be a five plus. The day of food for our wedding was amazing and everyone raved…read moreabout how yummy it was. There was also a lot of menu options and flexibility as well as meals for allergies/various diets. The lower rating comes from lack of communication and at times frustrating interactions. Getting a proposal and quote took months and we had to chase down people to get replies. On a few occasions as we were asking questions or getting clarification on allergy information the way we were talked to was not appreciated and felt disrespectful. Not all staff was like this but it happened on a few occasions with more than one person. We also specifically asked ahead of time to have meals packaged so we could enjoy the food the day after the wedding since the day of the wedding was so busy. It's still unclear if this was communicated from the planner to the caterer but it did not happen. One of the staff also nearly ran into my dad's car leaving the venue because he wanted to rush out before the guests left. I hope they can bring the guest experience quality up to the level of the food quality in the future.

This review is for takeout Tuesday run by the Southern Inn. This is the second time we got takeout…read more The first one was not too good, vegetables were raw and inedible, pork was so so. We decided to give it another try but this time will also be our last. We ordered the chicken and dumplings. What we got was 2 big containers of chicken broth with little scraps of chicken floating in it. It was like lousy chicken soup. The dumplings were not bad but when I found that some of the "chicken" was skin and even a bone I was disgusted. There was not even a half chicken breast total in the 2 orders. I don't know who is really doing the cooking for this takeout service but it is not good.

We started with the savory cheesecake, which was really more of a cold cheese dip. I was expecting a souffle like item which you would eat with a fork (like a cheesecake) but this was still good! It was delicious on the toasted bread and the tomato jam was good, despite my hesitation. We also got the fried brussel sprouts, which were incredible - perfectly crispy and served with a delicious aioli. I had the salmon club as my entree and kind of expected smoked salmon since it specified a bagel, but it was a cooked piece, which was kind of strange. I almost would have preferred smoked, which would've been easier to eat on a bagel. The entire thing was a little impractical to eat as a sandwich. I did enjoy the slaw, which had a nice vinegary taste. It was definitely the size of a full entree so don't let the "lighter fare" heading throw you off. I would probably come back if I were in the area!

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.

Plenty of fresh spices were on display in the tiny shop, which has a couple of indoor and outdoor seats. I found them offering a vegan breakfast menu, which offered the sort of platter I rarely find available for this dietary niche, including breakfast potatoes, a tofu scramble, a piece of some relatively inoffensive veggie sausage, and bread with what I forgot was not butter. A matcha latte has some interesting sweetener that didn't quite exceed my tolerance and was over coconut milk. It was a pricey lunch, but I could not accuse them of failing to deliver on what I understood the promise of the place to be.

Everything I tasted was delicious and thoughtfully made. I got the Buddha bowl, which came with roasted sweet potatoes, tempeh, curried chickpeas, brown rice and kale. Eating it felt like a vitamin injection. To drink, I got the hot golden milk, which came with lots of turmeric and ginger. My dining companions ordered different things off of the menu and let me take bites: spring rolls (yum, especially with the sauce), empanada (my favorite), falafel (great) and soup (I didn't taste). They also offer vegan desserts, which I was tempted to try but was stuffed from my healthy lunch. The restaurant itself is very small with not a lot of seating. I'd say maybe eight people can sit down inside, but there are some tables out on the sidewalk for outdoor seating.

It's a very cute little place that has great local ambiance and the service is great. Our waitress was the same person we had in December. Super sweet and never once did we have to ask for something. I got the fried Southern Catfish again with a side of mac and cheese and coleslaw. Don't forget the cornbread because it was nice and warm when we got it. The pictures below are from the first visit. Ribs, sausage plate, fried green beans. Let's just say the food is on point. I forgot to take the pictures for this trip but my daughter got the grilled PB&J with mac and cheese. My mother got the cheeseburger and my husband got his first ever Cuban panini. Everyone was happy. We got fried green beans and homemade onion rings and I couldn't finish my food. Right before we called it quits our waitress started talking about dessert. I became super curious about the homemade banana pudding because I have always wanted to try it. So I just pretended I was at Italian Xmas Eve Dinner of the Seven Fishes and I found room and damn I was glad I did. First time we were here we talked with the waitress about the fact they were trying to get more foot traffic and I told her how when we were on 81 South we saw their new sign. This place is definitely a little hidden gem that is a must to go and try. Food is on point. Service is above and beyond. You can tell that the food is made with love.

We were asked if we had a reservation even though the entire restaurant was empty... um what? They said they could "fit us in." Ok... . We sat down in a very run down dining room and almost left when we saw the menu. Short ribs with rice? Some odd choices on there. I settled with the shrimp and grits. How bad could it be? Their beer bread is actually pretty tasty - it's kinda sweet and soft with a crunchy crust. But, our entrees were quite unappetizing and not good. My shrimp were pale and covered in a weird cream sauce with mushrooms and tomatoes. The grits were stiff with hardly any flavor. I had some shrimp shells on my plate too. My husband's Gumbo was just as sad. It looked like cafeteria food. His okra was soggy and flavorless and the rice was so over cooked. 4 stars??? Absolutely not!!! The only redeeming factor was the good service and friendly staff.
