About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    I’ve always enjoyed coming to The Farmhouse and have had many great experiences in the past, but unfortunately, the last couple of visits have been disappointing. On Mother’s Day, several side items and a couple of desserts were already unavailable, which was surprising given the occasion. Our server forgot to remove my granddaughter’s pasta from the bill after we sent it back, and the pork chops were undercooked. The salmon lacked flavor, and the carrots had an odd taste that none of us enjoyed. I’m not one to usually complain, and maybe I should have spoken up at the time—but it just wasn’t the quality I’ve come to expect from a place I’ve always loved. On a brighter note, the Pineapple Martinis were delicious.

    The entire Mother's Day experience @ The Farmhouse was superb! Just being there was an entire Positive Vibe. The food, service, ambiance, even trips to the restroom, did I mention the food and the service? We were a party of 9 and every dish served was enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any dish, but may we suggest the Chicken fried Chicken with pepper gravy, the mashed potatoes were to die for. Also, the pork chops were also enjoyed by many at the table, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. A few other greats included the kids chicken tenders and fries and the fettuccine alfredo. Kisses to the chef from The Jones Family! 😘

    Came here for an early Mother’s Day dinner. Excellent food and staff. We sat outdoor due to the lovely weather but the inside booths looked delightful too.

    Oysters Rockafeller - the sauce was dry with a breaded substance Crab Cake Appetizer- could barely taste the crab . seemed like some crab was thrown in a blender with bread and baked . Cedars Salad - refrigerated causing wilting Baked potato - over cooked prime rib - told it was medium rare so they agreed to prepare for medium which should have involved a slight pan sear. ( warm pink) They agreed but when it came out , it was medium Grey. (over cooked). Maybe it's my fault but I told them if they couldn't do it , that i could.order a different cut of beef. The desert was good. The waitress was very nice and so we just picked our food a little and took home beef for our dog.

    Great service & cool atmosphere but the food wasn’t great to say the least. I had pork chops which were dry and tasteless. The chops were accompanied by a baked potato which was cooked perfectly along with grilled asparagus which was also nicely cooked but only consisted of 4 short spears. My son had the mahi mahi dish. The plating was very unappetizing; loads of baby carrots with an odd combination of spices and overcooked.
