We ate there just about every Sunday. Good home style food and good service.

Doggone, sad to see that. Not that any unplanned structure fire is good, but I sure hate to see a ma & pa business burn as it's some local folks losing their livelihood.
I agree HPD, folks have their whole lives invested in those mom & pop stores. How long before joe blames in on those evil gas stoves?
To much grease build up in the over head hood
Yeah most mom and pops are struggling to find help, let alone be able to afford to rebuild. Hope they can find another location reasonable......
Too bad, hate to see a small local business get hit . I never got the appeal of home style restaurants. For home cooking I stay home. In a restaurant I want food I don't get at home, Oriental, Greek, more Italian, Indian, mostly ethnic.
I hope they were well insured. If so, they may just come out better.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Well, try my home,🤐 you will love the "home cooking" at the restaurant/
I frequent on trips and in town locals that are worth eating just cause and will always do it as long as they , the food is good.
Sorry to hear this.
My sincere sympathy.
@jimdeere Maybe a candidate for a GoFundMe page. Sometimes the local community can really help out by making a bunch of small contributions. I don't know about the Forum's rules about listing a GoFundMe page in this thread but you have another family here to help also.
That door you just kicked in was locked for your protection - not mine.
Well, I can't always be home and when I can't, it is occasionally nice to have home comforts. Plus, it's a good business model for drawing in fur-in-ers.

What a shame. Great place. I hope they rebuild!
I heard on the news that they plan to rebuild.
Wonderful!!
Not exactly a ton of options in Pearisburg. I reckon come Sunday around noon, the great migration to the Princeton Cracker Barrel will begin!
My choice would be Anna’s in Narrows. Not sure if it’s still open, but sure was good!
The appeal of homestyle diners is that you not only get food like Grandma used to make, but you can get the foods that you'd like to get at home but are a lot of trouble to make. No, they aren't always great, but neither are the chain places. (Grandma wasn't always great either, truth be told.)
Little indie places like that are sadly prone to fires. Long after they close up at night, they're still there cleaning but dead tired and may forget to do something or turn something off.
We were happy with were we shared a meal with you in Pembroke. But we might have moved-on up to Pearisburg next time. Hope they rebuild soon.
isn't there a little diner right across the road from cracker barrell? not sure of the name but have met my sister there time or two, it is done up 50's-60's style, great food.......
Dolly's Diner. It used to be an Omelet Shoppe.
Which one?
The one that used to be an Omelette Shoppe?
