A favorite Southwest Virginia landmark, The Farmhouse Restaurant has served the New River Valley since 1963. The authentic farm house, originally part of the Ridinger Estate, was build in the 1800's.

In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area. During the past decade, a rustic lounge, additional dinner seats, and a spacious 250-seat Banquet Facility have added to the charm of The Farmhouse.

Shelby, our server, was pleasant and responsive. The steaks were perfectly prepared, the baked potato was large with crispy skin. But it's the onion rings, The Farmhouse has offered for decades, that deserve your attention. Ditto for the blue cheese dressing. The Farmhouse has an outstanding wine list. We enjoyed a Penfolds Max's red blend which was the perfect compliment to our meal. Suggest that the wine list be easier to reference by adding bin numbers and include the vintage (I know this is challenging). We will return.

I was expecting so much better from other reviews . Seating and constant view of an employee was uncomfortable. While we were on and out very quickly I didn’t feel that the service was great.

Due to high demand, we chose to seat some guests in one of our areas that don't hold the farm charm you'd expect, but we now recognize this didn’t provide the intimate setting we’re known for. Moving forward, we’ll only use that space for private events. We’d love the chance to make it up to you. If you're open to it, I’d love to send you an emailed credit worth two meals so you can return and enjoy the ambiance we intended. Please, reach out so I may arrange this for you. All the best, Devin Whittaker 540 251 7600
