The Scene
A crowded mixture of families, babes in arms, Randolph Macon students and lovers of simple country cooking gather in this small town landmark. Smiling servers juggle platters of barbecue ribs and southern style vegetables and refill your iced tea glass without missing a beat. Once you get past the Hee Haw Pig memorabilia, the atmosphere is quite pleasant.

The Food
You'd almost expect to see Andy and Opie at the next table--and surely there is an Aunt Bee in the kitchen somewhere? Smokers out back provide tasty, spicy beef, pork and chicken barbecue (chopped, sliced or ribs) but don't discount the admirable crab cake dinner. Daily specials include meat loaf, pot roast, beef burgundy and Prime Rib. Desserts are made in-house and the Coconut Cream and Butterscotch pies are lethal. Ask for one slice--two forks.
