Rt. 58 and Rt. 11 in Virginia

Would appreciate recommendations for Mom&Pop/Family run-type restaurants along Rts. 58 in southside Virginia and Rt. 11 through the Shenandoah in the western part of the state. Local food, meat-n-three, BBQ, homemade pies, etc. Thanks.

    Jess' Quick Lunch at the original location on the square in downtown Harrisonburg. Sit at the counter. Great dogs, burgers, & fries. Atmosphere like a 50's diner. Awesome.

    If you go to Abbington, make sure you go to a play at the Barter Theatre.

      Cam't get anymore Mom and Pop than Chick-n- Little in Abingdon. Classic Southern diner with chicken fried fresh when you order it.

      Also like The House on Main in Abingdon.

      Also Allison's in Abingdon- try the ribs and baked potato soup.

        Chick-n-Little is pretty much the sort I was looking for.....looks like Abingdon is a good place to spend a couple of days. Anyone have anything for Danville, Galax, Lexington, Winchester, Staunton, or even Front Royal? Thanks again.

        The Ellis Soda Shoppe in Abingdon, VA is a drugstore (complete with soda fountain) and you can get a good lunch there (http://www.ellissodashoppe.com/).

        Wild Flour Bakery and Cafe is also in Abingdon. I've gone in a few times on trips through, and have had some really good things and some pretty average items. I'd recommend their baked goods over their meals. Breakfast may also be a good bet there (http://www.wildflourofabingdon.com/He...).
