Why folks make the drive

Worth the trip from Martinsville.

If you're heading down from Martinsville after a visit to the Speedway or the Virginia Museum of Natural History, we're just a short hop away. We hear folks from up your way make the drive for a few good reasons: our hand-cut steaks, cooked just right on the flat top, or maybe for a heaping plate of our Sirloin Tips. Then there's the daily lunch buffet, always changing, always comforting. We've been serving up meals here since 2001, and we've learned a thing or two about making folks feel at home. It's more than just a meal; it's a taste of what we like to call 'the good life' down here in Eden. We'd love for you to join us and see why so many of your neighbors consider us a regular stop.
