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.

    Attended The Farmhouse for my son’s 20th birthday. The staff was accommodating even though we were the last guests to arrive on a quiet Tuesday night. The restaurant was beyond cozy with very private booths that allowed for an exclusive experience. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. The shrimp cocktail was good, though for the price I would have expected jumbo shrimp as opposed to the medium sized shrimp served. We all ordered the prime rib which was delicious. The portion is also more than enough for two meals. The asparagus was cooked perfectly though I’d say the mashed potatoes were good, not great. I would have loved to see a bit more variety of veggies available on the sides options like perhaps sautéed broccoli or seared Brussel sprouts. The desserts were great. My son had both the banana pudding and the lemoncello mascarpone cake. Both were delicious. Overall, a very nice experience worth traveling for.

    Food was poorly cooked. Paid close to $300 and all buyers and chicken was raw and my girls were unable to eat their food, steak was over cook and tough. Very disappointed.

    Always a special occasion at the Farmhouse. The atmosphere is the best for conversation and lingering with a date or good friends.

    This was our 2nd Thanksgiving at The Farmhouse and it was a great meal. From salads to all the Thanksgiving fixing, the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning next year!

    This old place needs a facelift Narrow halls. Front and side entry doors are old and full of chipped paint. Buffet room was not at all festive for Thanksgiving. Serve yourself from large hot plates except for carving station. Then have to walk quite a distance back to different & varying rooms to eat. Carrying a full plate. Food was lukewarm at best. Fresh fruits good and desserts were tasty. Good quantities and variety. Almost $50 per person. The staff is helpful and accommodating as they can be. They served 900 people thru that holiday. Leaking floor behind bar. Puddles! Historic place. Dinner can be nice on a regular night. Sitting in patio is enjoyable in warm weather. But staff is always changing. Not predictable in quality of food prep
