    Was surprised to find that the cook didn't cut off the bad part of the potato before cooking these and serving them to me.

    I stopped in for lunch based on the high review marks on Yelp. Unfortunately, my experience was not at that level. Service was okay and I was really happy to find a restaurant in the area. The prices are cheaper than average. I ordered a burger and home fries. My burger tasted like a steak um...I wondered if the meat had been frozen. It is obvious they make their own patties though. The hamburger was well done and burnt on both sides...not too my preference. It tasted okay though. The home fries were just sliced potato fried. There were greasy. What was off putting though was that the cook didn't remove the rotten part of the potato! I posted a photo. I had to pick through the fries carefully. The photo I posted shows the bad pieces. Two stars as I have definitely had better burger and fries.

    Apples,turkey,and gravy were on point!

    Great staff, good food and a pleasant environment. Randall and his staff make you feel at home and their burgers are the best!

    This is my local favorite place to eat any meal. But tonight, the fried flounder was THE BEST EVER

    Excellent home cooking. Worth the drive from Roanoke. Friendly, cozy and warm. Can't wait to go back.

    A friend from Fincastle took me for dinner at this restaurant last week and we both loved it. It's…read morelocated, as you might imagine, on the rooftop of The Pie Shop in downtown Fincastle. (Beware, you must be able to climb stairs to get up there-no elevator. There is downstairs seating as well for a "no steps" experience.) The food and cocktails were wonderful, the lovely seating (large and small tables, bar seating, and there's also a conversation pit sofa) was comfortable with shade available, and the place they kept the liquor for the bar was VERY cool (see photos). The menu included a wide variety of items from salads to sandwiches to fish to beef. We both had varieties of chicken salad - hers was warm and served in a bread bowl while mine was cold and served on lettuce. Both included thinly sliced apple (although the menu said grapes-but the apple was very tasty). They had a nice wine and bar selection. For dessert, there were six kinds of pie from The Pie Shop down below the rooftop! We both agreed we would love to return. If you're unfamiliar with Fincastle, it's a very old town founded around 1772 (thus the name of the restaurant). The courthouse (which is about to be rebuilt) which you can see from the rooftop was designed by Thomas Jefferson. The nearby jail and several other brick buildings are very old. If you drive around town, you'll see a Methodist Church built in the 1770s as well. Fincastle was the original seat of Boutetourt County, which stretched from Virginia through Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana in its initial form. The town hasn't figured out quite how to market itself even after all these years, but it's quite charming and worth driving around.

    Great setting, good food, awful service and management. Waited 30mins for a drink and to place our…read moreorder. Held hostage 2+ hours for a small dinner. The kitchen seemed on top of it, but when food was brought out, it would sit for 10mins. Customers eventually started serving themselves. Figure it out or close the doors!
