Restaurants near Stokesdale

“If you’re looking for a winery experience that’s equal parts charming, confusing, and mildly feral—look no further than Stonefield Cellars. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a gang of chickens that were clearly going through an identity crisis. With their suspiciously featherless necks and judgmental stares, they strutted around like buzzards on vacation. I’m not saying they were plotting something, but I did hear one cluck in Morse code.

The grounds had what I’d call a rustic chaos—think “secret garden” but if the gardener was legally blind and using a weed whacker as a cane. There’s an ambiance of wild freedom here, like nature just gave up halfway and decided to let it ride.

Enter Cooper: the feline face of the operation. He’s friendly, fluffy, and the kind of cat that insists on being involved in every single moment of your wine tasting. Pet me. Look at me. Talk to me. Honestly, Cooper has stronger customer service skills than half the people I’ve met in retail. He deserves his own tip jar.

Now to the wine—decent, though the prices made me question if I was buying the bottle or a small vineyard in France. And just when I thought I’d be sipping from elegant glassware, out came the plastic Chinet cups. Nothing says “bougie on a budget” quite like swirling a $12 wine in what looks like leftover wedding receptionware.

To pair with this upscale picnic experience? Cheese and crackers from a plastic container and a box. And I don’t mean a charming little charcuterie kit. No, I’m pretty sure I saw a staff member emerge from the back with a box of Ritz and a Target bag of cheddar cubes. We’re talking “aisle five, near the Lunchables” level cuisine.

But to be fair—the staff was absolutely lovely. Genuinely helpful, incredibly sweet, and totally committed to making sure you enjoy your stay…even if you’re dodging buzzard-chickens and chasing Cooper off every five minutes.

Would I come back? Absolutely. But next time, I’m bringing my own wine glass, my gardening shears, and maybe a feather boa so the chickens stop trying to recruit me.”

“Great Place to Eat”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Great food and great service!! We will be back 😀 Thank you for a wonderful lunch!!”

“AWESOME! Little Mom& Pop diner. We went for breakfast and I had two eggs oe and a 5oz hamburger steak with grits. My wife had the Western Omelet. My eggs and burger were cooked perfectly and the grits were nice and smooth. The omelet had sautéed onions and peppers in it which a lot of places just add raw veggies into the mix. It was done they way it should be and perfect amount of cheese. We got there about 8:45am and the morn rush was gone but it is a very small place with maybe a dozen tables and booths. We were thrilled with the service and my coffee cup was always full. Parkers is a place we will definitely go back to in the future. 👍😁”

“Meg made a cake for my sisters birthday and it was stunning! My sister loves reading and a cake that looked just like rustic book was perfect. Excited to try out her other baked treats cause the cake was delicious!”

“The food options here are amazing for lake food options. I expected frozen food heated up like you'd receive from a baseball game. But it's real meat cooked to order. The problem is picking what you want. The servings are huge as so you definitely get your monies worth. I couldn't eat it all. I'll be back and I'll be sure to wear stretch pants.”

“Food was great. Anna was also very nice and great customer.”

“This is the best subway I've ever been to! Everything is fresh and well prepared. The store is always clean and it smells like fresh cookies and bread. The staff is friendly and professional. The manager Tyler makes the best subs!! He's quick, polite, and makes every experience a good one every time i go there! Highly recommended!”

“The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and the atmosphere was perfect! The staff was VERY attentive and friendly. The restaurant is impeccably clean! We were very impressed with the reasonable prices! We ordered at least 4 appetizers, at least 5 entrees and drinks. The bill was shockingly low. We also left with THREE bags of leftovers!! This is a must do place!!”

“Great sized scoops! Nice shaded picnic area to enjoy the ice cream!”

“Crumble is pretty good the favors that ive tried are good the only downside is sometimes they are not hot and the chocolate chip one is bitter but overall really good”

“Great food and services. The wait times on Fridays can be as long as an hour so make sure to make a reservation. You should also make sure to be there 15-20 min prior to check in and stand by just in case a table frees up.and they call you first.”

“Delicious flavors, very creative combinations! Family friendly. Great stop!!”

“The coffee is delicious and the customer service is always amazing. I wish I discovered this place sooner. I love supporting a small business, especially one that is so close to home!”

“We love Jeremiah’s and take family and friends for a visit every chance we get! Recently we had a large group of family visiting, it was getting late but we were craving a sweet treat. We made it to the drive through shortly before closing and the staff welcomed us and took care of our large order without any pressure or rush due to our timing. Was a delicious late night treat! Definitely recommend!”

“Fabulous food and excellent service!”

“Absolutely excellent food and atmosphere. So many fresh options to choose from! The ability to build your own poke is fun, you can have the best of everything!”

“We had a graduation party at Harmon House & everything was perfect! The staff went above & beyond to make our event truly special. The entire process from the planning, to set up & clean up went very smoothly. Highly recommend this venue!”

“great food, great staff! pricing is good too”

“I have to come leave a message every time I’m lucky enough to get an item from here! We live about 45 minutes away but my daughter in law works nearby so for all of our birthday she treats us with a cupcake from here. Thankfully my birthday was yesterday so I’m enjoying a delicious birthday cupcake right now! Cupcakes are not an item I ever chose to order or eat HOWEVER, when it comes from here, I can’t resist! Something about the cake/icing flavor combos are unmatched!!!!!! I recommend this place to ANY that is wanting to enjoy a treat, give someone the most perfect gift or buy a bunch to impress the coworkers! You will not go wrong! I can’t say enough! Oh and to top it off customer service is top notch! 🤣🤣”

“Walked in during a hot day in desperate need of a cold beverage. Kyle greeted me, very kind and fixed me a strawberry banana smoothie. So refreshing! Great atmosphere, wonder customer service, fair prices and large drink/snack variety. He accepted Apple Pay, cards, and cash (thank goodness because Apple Pay was all I had!). 10/10 will be coming back”

“hands down the best pretzels I have ever had! Made fresh and with ingredients that dont blot you or leaving feeling carb wasted. please support this amazing company.”

“Best Salad Ever!
Highly recommend! I recently went with a group of seven for lunch at the Gaslight on Main. The service is impeccable and the staff is warm and friendly. I ordered the daily special — a French dip sandwich made with ribeye — and a side salad. The portions are generous; I took half the sandwich home to enjoy later. The salad was the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to return, whether for lunch when prices are very reasonable, or for an elegant evening meal in their beautiful surroundings.”

“Fresh salads and great platters 😊”
