I’ve had many of you ask for the full menu for the brick & mortar so here is our first mock up. We will have weekly specials that either you guys ask for (Bangers & Mash and Corned beef are already on the list), or are seasonal (Ramp Fritters and Fried Squash Blossoms), so keep your eyes open for those when we open!

A Summer time favorite in many Appalachian households is Kilt Lettuce. Ours is red leaf lettuce, bacon and a sizzling hot bacon grease vinaigrette (no sugar).

Canceled! Y’all stay cool and hydrated as you celebrate!

**Important Update for Our Community**

With the safety of our community and visitors in mind, we’ve made the difficult decision to **cancel the 4th of July Parade and Rockfish & The Rivermen event** due to the extreme heat forecasted.

We know how much these traditions mean to everyone, and this decision wasn’t made lightly. Your well-being will always come first.

Please take care of yourselves, stay safe, and drink plenty of water this holiday weekend. Let's look forward to celebrating together under safer conditions in the future!

Ya’ll didn’t think we’d open a restaurant without bringing a drink straight from the hills of our birthplace of East TN did you?!?! Catch Dr. Enuf on the food truck in Irvington VA - VIA Events on the 4th of July and as a permanent staple at our brick & mortar location!
