Local Dining
Some of our favorites - from Hot Dogs to Fine Dining
This is about a 45 minute drive but worth it! The restaurant is housed in an old barn. It has been called Hillbilly-Asian Fusion as the Chef husband is a native Virginian and his wife is from Thailand. Homemade desserts, eclectic menu - It is a local tradition! Weekends are busy - be prepared for a wait.

The Thai food is excellent! I really enjoy the sushi choices as well, especially the chef's specials (watch the sriracha sauce - they are liberal with it)

This is a bit of a drive but it is hands down the most inspired food in our area. Chef is amazing - as are the owners. It would be a good way to wrap up a day at Pipestem Park as it is within a mile or so of that location.
