Good food

Found this by accident but glad we did. Food was good, all homemade. Especially liked the pulled pork and vegetable soup. Little pricey but worth the experience

Very good lunch, just a bit expensive

convenient to Monticello; fried chicken is WONDERFUL; other food offerings, esp. vegetables, very good. Setting is comfortable; wait staff is very good. Just a bit pricey, however.
