A favorite Southwest Virginia landmark, The Farmhouse Restaurant has served the New River Valley since 1963. The authentic farm house, originally part of the Ridinger Estate, was build in the 1800's.

In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area. During the past decade, a rustic lounge, additional dinner seats, and a spacious 250-seat Banquet Facility have added to the charm of The Farmhouse.

I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic. The ambiance inviting. The service excellent. They had an extensive wine list as well. I planned to take my wife when we both came to visit our son and we made the dinner at The Farmhouse the first thing we did. As it was the first time, everything was first rate. Perfect steaks and the prime rib was "The best I ever tasted" according to my son. We will make a trip to The Farmhouse a tradition whenever we come to Christiansburg.

The staff was accommodating even though we were the last guests to arrive on a quiet Tuesday night. The restaurant was beyond cozy with very private booths that allowed for an exclusive experience. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. The shrimp cocktail was good, though for the price I would have expected jumbo shrimp as opposed to the medium sized shrimp served. We all ordered the prime rib which was delicious. The portion is also more than enough for two meals. The asparagus was cooked perfectly though I’d say the mashed potatoes were good, not great. I would have loved to see a bit more variety of veggies available on the sides options like perhaps sautéed broccoli or seared Brussel sprouts. The desserts were great. My son had both the banana pudding and the lemoncello mascarpone cake. Both were delicious. Overall, a very nice experience worth traveling for.
