We were camping nearby and just wanted to see what was available for us. This was an overall win. The small games allowed our family to hangout at the table and play while we had a few drinks. Our dog ... well dogged and was happy to be out of the camper. Overall, the beer was good, nothing earth-shattering, but they had some very solid flavors.

Head to Woodstock Brewhouse, where locally sourced ingredients meet a building rich in history…read more Housed in a beautifully restored industrial-era structure, the brewhouse preserves its original character -- from soaring 14-foot ceilings to time-worn hardwood floors -- blending authenticity with modern comfort. Grab a seat on the patio during warm weather or cool off indoors with a cold craft beer brewed in-house. Be sure to try my new favorite: the Buffalo Chicken Mac 'n Cheese -- hearty, flavorful, and perfect with a cold drink. Friendly staff and quick service make it an easy spot to relax, whether you're stopping by for a casual bite or planning your next event. Check out their website for upcoming events or to book a private space for your own gathering.

I love the vibe and energy of this place, modern yet vintage! Looks like it was an old church in days gone by? The place is pretty big and pretty wide open so I imagine can become loud when it gets full. I ordered a rose from a local winery and the burger. (I was hangry). I took my number and sat wherever I wanted. I sat in front of a giant tv on the wall with pre superbowl stuff going on. My wine came out quickly, it was very nice! The burger came out next, it had cheese, lettuce, tomato and a bacon jam that was just right! The burger was juicy and I loved every bite of it! The burger came with fries that were very hot and crispy!! Zero complaints!!

We were traveling between NJ and TN and came specifically because it was open late (we arrived at 8…read morepm) and because of the good reviews. We sat at the bar. Menu spans pretty much what most people would eat - appetizers, soup, salads, fish/seafood, steaks, ribs, chicken, sandwiches. I ordered the Prime rib burger, which has sliced prime rib on top of the burger and was served with cheddar cheese and horseradish aioli and was account an au jus. It was juicy and delicious. My husband ordered the fried chicken dinner. It was 2 fried chicken breasts and he said they were delicious and juicy. What's super nice is that there are sides that can be interchanged - French fries, mashed potatoes, baked potato - take your pick. There are vegetables and cole slaw included too. Nice touch. We had the Dutch apple pie ala mode for dessert. Pie was ok. Ice cream was great. We would definitely come again. Highly recommend

They UPCHARGED him $5.00! It became a $12 drink in the middle of nowhere in a small little town in Virginia. Again, we were not informed. Clearly, this establishment attempts to rip people off. Proceed at your own risk. We are full tile RV'ers who love small towns and frequent small town businesses on purpose. Sadly, Miller's has made us forever fearful.

As I was out exploring the area, I stopped in at lunch time. I walked in and took a seat at the bar. The guy behind the bar asked if he could help me. I responded I was in for something to eat. The menus are encased in a short plastic holder sitting on the bar (see attached pic). As such, it is not a long menu. I ordered a Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles, plus a bottle of water and a beer - Coors Light in a bottle. While I was waiting, I took note of the ambiance. Two locals sitting across the bar drinking Bud longnecks and smoking cigarettes - talking local stuff - mostly a lot of deer hunting discussions colorfully laden with much cussing. :-) None of the nonsense with folks eyeing me suspiciously - of course I probably look like a local (jeans, Harley-Davidson t-shirt, VT camo ball cap, sunglasses, grizzled unshaven look). Behind the bar on the wall - there are lots and lots of cigarettes, tobacco products, and ammunition for sale. When the burger came out - it was served on a soft white bun. And it was easily one of the blandest, least exciting burgers I've ever eaten. But I was hungry and it was food. It was served with a side of potato chips. After I finished the burger and chips, I chugged down my ice cold Coors Light, paid my bill and was on the road. So, if you want to experience some true backwoods Americana - this is a place to get a taste of it. If you don't mind cigarette smoke.

Guns, burgers and beer…read more Every once in a while you stumble into a place that blows your mind. Or wind up in a joint that you could get your brains blown out. As you push open the worn screen door and step in, you go through a time warp. Not like a cheesy modern chain restaurant that decorated its walls with imitation Chinese made fake antiques. This place is an antique. If you are not a local, don't expect to be welcomed by a bubbly teenage host with lots of flair on her uniform. Picture.... faded trodden floors...elbow worn linoleum bar top...poor lighting...poor air conditioning...suspicious local patrons....guns and ammunition on display ...a feeling of impending doom as you walk in. There is a large cooler with beer at one end of the place. Move through...don't make eye contact, sit down, shut up. I recommend the creaky bench seat with a nice view of the dry river bed from a dirty single pane window. Dont expect service. Get up (everybody stops talking, puts their hand under their shirt) as you move to the waist high bar)...."Hi....uh...I'll have a beer" . After enduring what seems like an eternity...the lady behind the bar slams one down on the bar (deciding what kind you city folk deserve). Take it...go back to your seat (cue sounds of hammers retracting on old western six shooters). The beer is ICE COLD. Probably because your fight or flight instincts have been in full effect (like an impala feeling the claws of a lion nicking at his ass cheeks) and your mouth is hot and dry. Trivia: This is the LAST true "road house" in the USA. You can literally buy a burger, a beer, and a gun with ammunition while sitting at the bar (you have to make the fire arm purchase on a separate ticket....stupid ATF rules). There are lots of guns to choose from...only 2 burgers....cheese or no cheese. If you order a burger endure the deep sighing lady who has to don an apron and heat up the grill. It will be an excellent burger....then again, I'm sure those condemned on death row enjoy that final meal like it was...uh well, their last meal. Bottom line: Places like this don't exist anymore. Cracker Barrell near the interstate would be less risky but the closer you come to death, the more you know you're living. If you're in Broadway....uh....if you're ever lost and end up in Broadway VA, step back in time and have a beer at Brock's Gap Service. Just reach for your wallet when its time to pay the tab.....verrrrrrryyyyy slooooowwwwwlllly.

Great Find In Luray…read more Went hiking with my family in Shenandoah National Park this weekend and overnighted in Luray. We happened across The Chop House by mistake and a lucky one it was! Everything about the meal was fantastic! Our server Pete was terrific. My brother-in-law hit the nail on the head when he said "He was the most unpretentious, informative and friendly server I've run across". Very polite and helpful, you could just tell it made Pete happy to be helpful. The menu is not large, but the dishes we ordered were all top notch. First the Focaccia Bread came and it was just right, a good sigh of things to come. Next the Crab Dip. We are from Annapolis, a crab crazy town on the Chesapeake, where every restaurant has their own "award winning" crab dip, so we are very well acquainted with some of the best, but this one knocked it out of the park. It would win the "Best of Annapolis 2026" if this restaurant was in Annapolis. Next came the Sirloin, at Pete's recommendation. Salted perfectly, and cooked correctly to medium rare, with a side of asparagus cooked to crisp perfection and seasoned with a garlic butter that was just fantastic. We rapped it up with a flight of deserts to share, at Pete's recommendation. Deconstructed Cheese Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Creme Brûlée, and three of their house made ice creams. Again, just Wow. And when the bill came, again a very pleasant surprise. Steak dinner for 4, with cocktails and wine and the bill came to $250. Back in Annapolis that meal would have easily been $400 or more at Lunes Steakhouse, Ruth Chris or the Chart House. My wife and I agreed this meal was better than any we've had at any of these high end resturants. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We'll be back, and nothing against the other servers, but we'll make sure it's on a night Pete is working. Great job Pete and to everyone in the kitchen, just a terrific meal.
