About 4 hours and 30 mins outside of Washington, DC, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and close to the southern entrance of the Skyline Drive is a small town called Catawba, VA. It's about 45 mins outside of Virginia Tech and a hop, skip and jump from Roanoke, VA.
You may be asking yourself why you should care, well, I've got two words for you...The Homeplace.
The Homeplace is a down home cookin' restaurant that serves all of it's food family style and you have two options, roast beef or ham. Of course, that's in addition to the default fried chicken, some of the best Allen has ever had, and sides that automatically come with each order.
The mashed potatoes, green beans, pinto beans and coleslaw were divine. The mashed potatoes were REAL. The green beans were just the right amount of porky and salty and the beans were tender. But the biscuits, OMG, the biscuits were buttery, light, fluffy and beautiful.
Needless to say, I highly recommend stopping by this place before driving the Skyline Drive. It's worth the stop.
