We stopped in at 128 Pecan recently and really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant is tucked…read moreinside a cute little house, which gives it a warm, cozy ambience that feels welcoming right away. The menu has a nice variety of options. I went with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and superb. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich with onion rings, and both were excellent. Everything came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Our waitress was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and very flexible when we had a couple of special requests. Prices for the entrées seemed on the higher side for a small town, but there are plenty of soups, sandwiches, and other more affordable choices on the menu. Portions are generous and the quality is solid, so it feels like a fair value, especially if you're treating yourself for a special occasion. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return.

The food was very good. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 and were greeted by prominent signage…read morethat "no tables were to be seated until the full party had arrived." I suppose proximity to the Va Creeper Trail encouraged this as I could see folk holding up a table whilst waiting would be a potential issue. We were seated promptly and given menus and served water and sodas. The rock music was pretty loud for the restaurant, which has some smaller rooms that are serviceable but cramped and a bit echoey and dark. By 12:35 our order was in and by 12:51 on our table. The table has a nice individual light, and a bottle of water on the table. Unlike some other local restaurants, soda refills are free and a pitcher was brought by the table to serve refills of diet coke. What was not good was the large beer poster of the St Paulie Girl with her nipples hanging out. I realize these are beer posters and I realize they are German and things are different there. But this was a prominently placed poster. I just wouldn't think a place where a lot of families dine would put this in such a prominent spot, or any spot really. I'm not a super prude, I just raised three sons. So the sandwich though, was very good.

Our first afternoon tea at Camella's Remember When was such a special experience! It was a surprise…read morefamily date with our daughters before seeing *The Da Vinci Code* at the Barter Theatre and having dinner at The Tavern, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our day. The service was wonderful, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. We started with a delicious chilled lavender iced tea that was perfectly balanced not too sweet or overly floral and the Blue Eyes tea, which reminded us of a warm caramel apple. Both were excellent. Our tea service began with a fresh mixed greens salad topped with a strawberry and a lovely house dressing. Then came the tiered tower filled with an assortment of savory bites and sweet treats. My daughter was especially excited to discover her new favorite food: cucumber sandwiches! We finished with a light, creamy blackberry mousse style dessert that was the perfect ending. One thing we'll definitely do differently next time is allow more time and arrive hungrier. We didn't realize afternoon tea included so much food, so we found ourselves rushing a bit to make it to our show. The history of the building made the experience even more memorable. Learning that it's the oldest house and the third-oldest building in Abingdon was fascinating. Over the years it has served many purposes, including being home to a family with ten children and functioning as a Civil War hospital. We especially enjoyed learning that it was one of the few buildings spared from being burned because it cared for wounded soldiers from both sides. If you're visiting Abingdon, this is a charming experience that's well worth adding to your itinerary.

The owner, Miss Carrie, was very sweet and we ended up buying tea as gifts, plus ordered some scones and a mini peach pie in addition to a lavender sweet tea. The sweet tea was very good. The scone I had lacked a little flavor and the pie crust was good, but the peaches might not have been fully in season to make it as good as I recall peach pie to be. I do believe the fact I waited a day to eat them (was traveling) could have affected the flavors. I think overall the offerings were quite good and would recommend folx give her offerings a try.

Great little restaurant with delicious food and a cute, relaxing atmosphere! We had never been here…read morebefore and decided to give it a try. The food was definitely the highlight, and I'll be back to try some of the other menu items. The service, however, could use a little improvement. Our server took a while to come over, and there were several moments where she seemed unsure about the menu. The sign at the door and the menu both said to ask about the grilled cheese of the day. When I asked, she responded in a very perplexed tone, "Umm, I think it's..." -- which was a little surprising since it was already 1 p.m. When she told me what it was, I realized it had meat. I even said, "Oh darn, it has meat on it," since I'm vegetarian, and she just replied, "Yeah." I noticed later that the menu says many items can be modified for vegan and gluten-free diets, so it would have been nice if she had mentioned that the grilled cheese could potentially be customized. I also asked what the soup was, and again she had to stop and think before saying, "I believe it's..." The name/description was unusual, so when we asked her to repeat it, she didn't really explain what it was. I'm still not entirely sure what the soup actually was. I was a server for years, and I completely understand not knowing every little thing, but knowing the daily specials and being able to describe them is pretty important. There was also some confusion about the breakfast menu. I was surprised to learn that grits are available after 11 a.m. on Saturdays. I asked if breakfast was served all day and specifically mentioned that I knew gravy and grits weren't available after 11 based on the menu. She then told me that on Saturdays they are available, which seems like something that could probably be clarified on the menu. Overall, the service wasn't bad, it just felt like it was lacking a little energy and attentiveness. We were never offered or given a refill on our sodas either. That said, the food was DELICIOUS, and the atmosphere is really cute and relaxing. I definitely plan to come back and try more of the menu. Hopefully the service was just an off day, because this little restaurant has a lot going for it!

When we pulled in the drive through was full but we waited anyways. After a while we finally got to order. We got up to the window and after a lot of talking back and forth between the employees they asked if I could pull forward. I ordered the two cheeseburger meal and a cheeseburger happy meal. After five minutes or so we got our food and got back on the highway. I ate my fries while driving down the road. I then moved on to my cheeseburgers. I ate all but a bite of the first cheeseburger when I noticed what looked like mayonnaise on the edge of it. Thought it must have gotten on there while making a bunch of sandwiches. I discard it and move on to the second one and take a bite and immediately taste mayonnaise. I sat it down and pulled the top bun off and it's all over. I was almost in Marion when this happened so I didn't turn around and go back. Check your stuff before leaving so this doesn't happen to you. In case anyone is wondering mayonnaise does not taste good on a McDonald's cheeseburger
