We had lunch here at noon on a Monday and just got in before a line started to form. There were 4 of us and first time here for all. The menu is broad enough for all to be happy - seafood , chicken , salads, pasta, and beef. I had the cedar planked salmon with bourbon sauce and it was amazing. For sides I had a baked potato and a cup of gumbo. The gumbo tasted like I was fine dining in New Orleans. In fact if I get the chance to dine here again, I'll have a bowl of gumbo and the side salad. It had plump sautéed shrimp on top and was perfectly seasoned with spices. We shared a piece of Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Sunday for dessert. This restaurant does everything very well!

The food was fresh and flavorful, the server was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It was absolutely packed at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon, which speaks for itself. And as a bonus, they even have high-quality napkins. It's the little things that make a difference. I'll definitely be back.

Apple Maps told us we had arrived just shy of the restaurant, which is up the hill a bit further. Just keep going. Many of us have heard of Hootentown through the years, and a few lucky ones have actually been to a music festival or put in for a float trip there. This relatively new diner is a real gem! It is run by a mother/daughter duo with the mama manning the kitchen with her extraordinary homemade, from-scratch comfort food! However, I was on a health kick today so I ordered the Taco Salad. Yeah, I know, so I didn't eat the lightly deep fried, crispy shell to my chagrin! Seasoning on everything is superb. She's not afraid to wake up your tastebuds & not just with the one-note spicy heat that masks as complex flavor. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her Philly cheesesteak chicken sandwich on a hoagie roll. She also went for the potato Fripps which (we had never heard of them) are spiral cut whole potatoes that are lightly deep fried into beautiful flowering shapes. We DO eat with our eyes after-all. Well done. So cool. Now, you must order one of theIr desserts at minimum and make sure it comes with their homemade whipped cream! Even if you're stuffed you'll have to take a couple bites. It's whipped & stabilized so well that it looks like homemade ice cream but, WOWZA, it ain't! When you devour it, you will want to kiss your grandmother, your great-grandmother, and the many mothers before that! Isn't it wonderful, every once in a while, to wax & wane nostalgic?!?! They even make their own rock candy from scratch which they thoughtfully provide with your bill. What is more country crafty than that? Bags of it are for sale @ each table. Make sure to look around at the collections on the walls. The daughter is fun to answer any questions you might have about the food, the dwelling, the kitsch, the river, and the politics in general. We even bought a dozen farm fresh eggs from her as we were walking out the door for, wait for it, one buck. Take a trip through the Ozark Hills, into the woods, and down to the James River. This place is an undiscovered gem! And, a HOOT(entown)!!!

The chicken fried steak is the best. Not greasy. Huge! The gravy is on point. We tried the cream cheese corn and I'd have to say that I thought the green beans are better. The onion rings are incredible! The mashed potatoes are very good. The service is good. The only issue we had was that we had ordered a side order of onion rings. When a huge basket came out, I asked if this was the side order and the waitress quickly commented that she had put it in as a side order but that they sent a whole order. She said she would adjust it but when she brought the check she said that she took off 10%. Quickly doing the math, the basket we were charged for was $11 while the side order is $5. 10% didn't come close and we barely made a dent in the basket of delicious rings. The live music was nice but they might need to tell the entertainer that it isn't meant to be a show, just background. He doesn't need to be the center of everyone's meal. Local Flavor is a must try! You won't be disappointed.
