I've only tried the chicken and waffles, but they never disappoint. The sweet potato waffle with…read morethe cinnamon is absolutely amazing, and the chicken is always crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I also tried the bread pudding. I love bread pudding, but this one just wasn't my favorite. It wasn't bad it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. The café itself is small, cozy, and welcoming. They have a small bar area, indoor seating, and a customer restroom that's tucked away in the back. When I stopped in, there were several people dining in, and it had a relaxed, homey atmosphere. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Down Home Cafe, especially if you're looking for a comforting brunch or a laid-back Sunday meal. I'll definitely be back for those chicken and waffles! Oh! Open parking!

Summer ain't summer without BBQ…read more Chef Derrick is an award winning BBQ pit master that knows how to control the heat of the grill to produce succinctly barbecued proteins that have you asking for a second plate. I ordered the burnt ends, collard greens and the unadvertised candied yams. And of course I had to take the banana pudding (that was made from scratch) to go. For the non meat eaters, you can order fried fish as the substitute for your plate. So the next time that your heading south on Route 1 in Northern Virginia, make a pit stop at Dyvine BBQ.

They weren't stingy with portions, I couldn't even finish it all. The food truck fellas were very friendly and even ran out to my truck to give me condiments for my food but didnt need it because the food was that good. They are a new business.
