7 Best American Restaurants near Buchanan

“After participating in the Sunflower Festival, we stopped by this unfamiliar restaurant on the way home. What we discovered was a hidden gem of great food, southern hospitable service, all at a very reasonable price.

The food options were plentiful and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive.

The only regret we have is that this place isn't closer to home. But I anticipate we will return as often as we are in the area.

We encourage you to stop by enjoy. You won't be disappointed.“

“Great local spot. VERY good burger and onion rings. Friendly attentive staff. Reasonable prices. Easy access and adequate off-street parking. Not specifically ADA compliant but those with different abilities should have no trouble. Skip the fast food and give this a try if you're on US11 traveling around Buchanan VA.

Approximately 500 metres from the proper "downtown" area of Buchanan, on the S. side of the James River. Directly on US11. Kind of a roadhouse or American pub atmosphere, classic rock on the house speakers, couple of TVs, pool table and darts. Outside seating seems available. Beer and simple alcohol served. Looks like it closes around 10pm (2200) weeknights. Not crowded. I got an excellent cheeseburger, real battered onion rings, and a coke for just under $12. Veggies on the burger were fresh and crisp, rings cooked to order (not from a hot line or tray). Burger was real fresh beef, not a frozen pattie thing. Old neon signs, simple roadhouse seating and decor. Not too noisy. Meal was filling and quick to arrive. Might want to leave the kiddos though, as it is somewhat bar-like and smoking is allowed, but you could avoid this in fair weather by using the outdoor seating. Clean, quality napkins and condiments, don't expect fancy and you will not be disappointed. I do love places like this.

Kid-friendliness: So-so only because of smoking. Otherwise fine.“
