Upscale southern or hipster heaven…. Good food. Good beer. Mason jars. From a southern boy.
Amazing Drinks. The food here is good- old southern favorites.Good experience to sit at the bar and do a tasting of bourbons- very knowledgeable bartenders and you may actually learn something + enjoy some fantastic bourbons.
GET the FRIED CHICKEN. Best thing on the menu.
Pot Pie Heaven. I’ve only been once, and it was last fall, but I came across a picture I took of the chicken pot pie and had to mention it here. I think the picture mostly speaks for itself!I’ve had more than a few pot pies in my day, and this was the best I’ve ever had. Seriously. I’m pretty sure I’d travel to Charlottesville again, just to have another. Well, that and maybe Barboursville Vineyards. Because, you know, they let you taste more than a dozen wines.The best part: it’s not always chicken!
Great southern charm!. I can check this off my wish list, this place is exactly what you think it should be based on the name, a good old southern place with live music to add to the experience. If you have company and they are looking for some good old southern cooking and quaint charm this is the place! We had the Whole Local Trout with Hominy Hoppin John and the Fried Chicken with Collards for dinner both good and the sausage/rabbit appetizer that came in a creamed onion sauce which was excellent.
Great food, and worth the wait! However, the worst service I’ve received in my 5 years of eating out in Cville. I’ve never been treated so rudely by a waitress.
Didn’t even get a chance to try it. Went to the Whiskey Jar following a concert last night. It was packed (I would bet above fire code) and a horrible band was playing. We were with a number of the bands from the concert and old friends. Being 7 months pregnant, and the obvious DD, I was not able to sample their extensive menu of whiskeys. My husband and friends drank plenty though and had no trouble getting service at the bar. However, when my husband tried to get me a glass of ice water (even offered to pay for it), the bartender looked at him and turned around pointedly ignoring him, moving on to help the next customer. I tried to order something to eat (the menu for late night did look fantastic) and was told the kitchen was closed (at 1:00) and that they were not serving food any longer. (Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought any establishment serving alcohol in the state of Va was required by law to serve food as well?). At closing, our friend, the headliner from the concert, a local guy and known around the world now, went to ask if there was any way the group could stay just a little bit later. I don’t know if it was the manager, a bartender, owner, or who it was he spoke to, but the man was unnecessarily rude and insulting to our friend. I, in no way, begrudge the staff their right to close on time and not offer special treatment. It is well within their right and after a long Saturday night I would probably not want to stay at work any longer either. But the way the request was rejected was uncalled for. Needless to say. I cannot comment on the quality of any of the bar/restaurant’s products as I was denied all I asked for and the rudeness of the staff left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I will certainly not be going back.
