Bars near Starlight

“As a foreign grad student who loves visiting and taking photographs of rural USA where my heart is, I passed by this establishment multiple times and was charmed by its location and its atmosphere. while biking on the rail trail a couple friendly locals recommended me this place so i decided to have lunch there. The food was good if you are into deep fried bar food and the beer well it was chill and definitely better priced. The establishment was very clean including the washrooms even when it was well patronized. The hostess was very gracious, and kind. The only thing that spoiled my lunch was a burly gentleman who came and sat next to me, started talking to me and asked me if I would like to have fun with women and started pointing to the women at the bar. I was annoyed about the way he was talking to me and the ladies at the bar who were hearing what he was saying. I was annoyed for not being able to enjoy my lunch in peace but I also love to talk to locals because it gives me exposure to this beautiful country beyond what i see on tv, but this conversation was definitely not one of those. I cannot blame the establishment or the hostess for such a patron. I definitely recommend this place. its located in such a beautiful location by the river with lots of trees. love it. always takes the good with the bad“

“We ordered pulled pork tacos, fish tacos, and chicken fingers to go. All 5 of us loved the food. Really cool country ambience too. Can't wait to come back here soon and eat in next time. I read the past reviews and I hope they corrected the cross contamination issue. It would be a shame to ruin a perfect place with such a minor error but no one wants to get sick.“

“Sure do miss Frank. Frank knew my Dad before I was born, I have had great times at the Do Drop starting when I was a kid. I remember Frank said, stay out of the Bar area until you turned 18. Frank was a great guy. I loved the pickled eggs. I'll never forget, we stopped in to see Frank one day while riding our 4 wheelers. There was 6 of us. We emptied out the pickled egg jar. Went back the next afternoon and had more. There's a Rattle Snake skin on the pool room wall. My brother Bobby gave the snake to Frank back in the early 60's. It's fangs were 2" long! I wonder if the skin is still there. Frank was always happy to see me, and I him. Frank once told me he worked for the O&W RR. Back in the middle 90's I bought a book that focust on the O&W RR, Frank asked if I would get a book for him after viewing my book. I did, he was happy and so was I. I looked at the book recently and thought of Frank and smiled. Time marches on and waits for no one.Update on 11-23-18I made a trip up from Virginia this weekend to visit family. I stopped in at the Do Drop Inn and paid my respect to Jeanie. We shared old stories gave hugs we even shed some tears as well. I took a photograph of Jeanie with the snake skin in the background. I’m so glad I did so in at the inn Frank ran from the 1930’s.UPDATE, I made another trip from Virginia in January, 2022. Stopped in to say hello to Jeanie. I could believe my eyes I met Jimmy Vitale at the Do Drop Inn. We went to school in Hancock, Jimmy was a few years a head of me in school. We talked about the 67 GTO he had at the time, very nice car. It was Gold with black interior. My Brother Bobby worked for Jimmy’s Dad Carmie Vitale. I even got to see Jerry Bolster at the old Grand Union store, Jerry worked for Vitale Lumber for years.“
