Took my son here so he could experience some excellent fried chicken before heading back to college food. We both loved the chicken (both the grilled and fried versions!), along with the sides of mashed potatoes with gravy, savory green beans!!, mouth-watering vegetable soup, biscuits that melt in your mouth, and an especially big shout-out for the hot apple cider that tastes so incredibly good. Ben and I both love hot apple cider and have high standards for the perfect flavor…well done! On top of the excellent food, the service, atmosphere (oh that wonderfully warm fireplace on a cold day!), and fun option to wander around the property and visit two gift shops (the goat’s milk lotion is divine!) it was exactly what we needed at the end of my son’s winter break. Look forward to returning soon!

This was our first visit to the hidden gem. The staff and location we’re fantastic. The food was buffet style from 11-3pm. And it was very good. The desert choices have a little of everything. This location also has 2 different shops on sight to pick up some local items, wines , apple cider and a lot of other itrms to chose from. It was a great stop in We will return

Step back into the late eighteenth century and enjoy a hearty midday meal before heading up the mountain to Thomas Jeffersons Monticello.
In 1927 the tavern was taken apart, piece by piece, relocated 17mi, and reassembled to where it stands today.
The food is prepared using 18th century recipes in the southern tradition. You’ll find some of the best fried chicken, pulled pork, and fixins’ you’ve ever had. Servers are always nearby to offer seconds… or thirds.
Overall a great place to stop and enjoy a memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience from arrival to departure. To sit and eat in a tavern that our founding fathers once did was awe inspiring. The service was fantastic as well as the food. I will definitely plan future visits here with my family. I also recommend visiting the gift shops as well and checking out the old cabins on the property. Great place for history buffs! Oh, and Morgan was awesome. The staff really take care of you.

This place is more than just a resteraunt, it’s an experience. It’s a little pricey. The atmosphere is incredible and the service was great. It’s a buffet style resteraunt. The food was southern style comfort food. Our waitress “Toni” was great.

I always try to visit the oldest restaurants when I’m visiting a new town. Food was good. We had the fried chicken, okra, hushpuppies and peach cobbler. Unfortunately they ran out of biscuits. Make sure to check out the grounds.

A fun unique southern experience. The buffet is a bit on the pricier side but you get plenty of food and it is yummy. I wish basic beverage and even dessert was part of the price. Staff were attentive and friendly.

Southern comfort food, in a historic tavern.
The service was excellent, and they are very hospitable. You go through a buffet, which offers: coleslaw, green beans, black eyed peas, stewed tomatoes, barbecued pork, grilled and fried chicken, and soup. You can get soda and ice tea as well. After you go through the buffet, if you want anything else the waiter will get it for you. You can order desert later, too. Pay on your way out.
All in all, worth a try! More expensive than lunch somewhere else, perhaps, but it’s an experience you won’t get elsewhere. Food was good, if not “exceptional,” but ample quantities – you certainly won’t go hungry!!

Had lunch with my wife the food was amazing. The best Fried Chicken, Peach Cobbler, and overall meal I’ve ever had. The historical bar and rooms were like visiting a museum with so much to see and enjoy. Our server Kathy was also such a treasure for the establishment also. Please don’t pass up the opportunity to stop for lunch after visiting Monticello
