This should not even be on the menu ! It was $8 and a soupy, gloppy mess. It was inedible. I took it back to the counter and the employee couldn't care less. Never offered a refund or another option. Total silence and shrugged. Then I Had the pumpkin bread which was pretty good! As mentioned, this is more of a bakery. Across the street is a nice restaurant if you'd like a substantial meal! There were some nice gift items on the shelves, so that's a plus. The place was rather plain, but clean. I wouldn't come back here... the ambivalence of the staff turned me off.

We slept in a bit and rolled in around 8, but the place still had that early-morning calm you hope for as you begin your weekday. It's clearly a former fast-food restaurant, yet they've transformed it brilliantly with with new furniture, wood walls and panels, Hawaiian memorabilia, and even a longboard mounted up high that gives the room a fun, breezy personality. The coffee ended up being the highlight as Mrs. K. and I each enjoyed a latte and shared a breakfast muffin before getting back on the road. The wifi was strong and speedy, which let me sit for a few minutes and plot out the day's attack on the Virginia suburbs. It's an easy, friendly stop with good drinks and a relaxed vibe, and it fits Gordonsville perfectly. [Round number review 1600 in Virginia - 1236 of 2026 - 26414 overall]

My MIL…read morefound a brochure for the ice house amidst their collection of tourism pamphlets proclaiming it to the best fried chicken in the world and it sparked her curiosity. I imagined myself running in there like Buddy in the scene from Elf with the World's Best Coffee... but a casual sit down fried chicken place was about the speed I was hoping for, so I was in. Best fried chicken in the world? No. But, fried chicken I'd choose again if in the area? Very likely. Worth going a bit out of my way for? Yeah. All the sides were good. I got Mac and cheese and loaded smashed potatoes (because, yes, I'll do starch on starch with extra fat on each at a chicken joint). Both quite good. And the Mac and cheese had the benefit of being properly conceived restaurant food for an audience of non-drunk adults but also capturing the Mac and cheese comfort vibe enough to be loved by my three year old. Others in my party got the side salad, which looked great with a good mix of crisp greens and what not and the special cheesy grits which they liked. And they didn't skimp on the serving sizes at all. The biscuit was also a fresh, proper biscuit and came with good apple butter. Their drink menu has a couple of options for almost any occasion/meal. The service was friendly and fairly efficient. The whole place was bright and clean, and having a three year old, I got to know that the cleanliness extended to the bathrooms.

Smaller than most wineries use for tastings. There was maybe 2.5 ounces of wine in that glass -- I am not kidding. One and a half short swallows, and it was gone! I brought it up to the person who delivered the food and she said it was a "standard pour" -- I said it most definitely was not. I left there and went straight to Barboursville Winery and got a glass of their Brut Rose for the same price and it took me an hour to drink it...no comparison. It was a regular size (and beautiful) champagne flute. So if you want any wine at Grelen, you better buy the bottle or it will be ounce for ounce one of the most expensive wines you've ever had...the sandwich was good and a generous size.

But in northern Virginia folks seem to think this is an amazing county stop. They have lots of animals- goats, chickens, pigs, other fowl etc in nice pens along the property.

Produce section was very small. It's a good collection but definitely not the Amish/ Mennonite groceries of the Midwest! It still has the nice rustic feeling and the barn like exterior and interior for a good country feeling!

My southern roots have to say no to the collards. Sorry! It's nice that they have 2 slaws and a variety of pickles to choose from and the hush puppies were perfect. They offer a variety of sauces and I preferred the Carolina sauce with a bit of Virginia sweet. That said, the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. At around $90 for three people, it felt expensive for a very casual, counter-service setting. They have a quick order cafeteria style service with most sides and meats right there to serve from the ordering counter. They offer a variety of pre-portioned desserts, cold alcoholic beverages, and meats and sides in larger portions to go We chose to sit outside, but the noise level was a major drawback--constant truck traffic and a very loud motorcycle shop next door made it hard to relax or enjoy the meal. These are things that the exchange cannot control, so if noise is an issue for you, sit inside and you will have a different experience. Overall, decent food, but between the cost and the noise, it wasn't the experience we were hoping for.
