The Tiger Inn, otherwise known as the TI, is located on the campus of Hampden-Sydney College. I am an alumni of HSC, and was a frequent visitor to the TI during my years on campus. Although Farmville, VA is just down the road a bit, the campus is mainly in the middle of nothing. And as a student, the dining hall (the commons) was the go-to for 90% of your meals. Especially after paying for a meal plan and not having an endless supply of funds otherwise. So the TI was always a place that gave you something different than the commons without having to go into town.
The space is much bigger than what the restaurant itself needs. But there are always activities going on the can fill that space too. The people at the TI were always friendly and their food was a step up from the commons. So it was a nice treat if you wanted a decent burger or a hot sandwich. It was a good spot to go if your parents or friends ever came to visit and once again, didn't want to trek too far from campus. And don't forget that they serve beer! A welcomed sight for a college student after a long day of (skipping?) class! read more
