The Sirloin House
The Sirloin House
For folks driving down US-58 and US-501 from South Boston, it's about an hour and five minutes to find our table, where good food and friendly faces are waiting.
If you're heading south out of South Boston, past the Speedway and across the river, you know a good drive means good company and good food at the end of it. We've had plenty of folks from Halifax County make the trip down to us here in Eden over the years, and we're always happy to see a new face walk through our doors. Folks tell us it's the hand-cut steaks cooked on the flat top, or maybe our family recipe Fresh Fried Chicken, that makes the drive worthwhile. Others come for the daily lunch buffet that changes every single day, or the warm slice of peach cobbler, baked fresh at 4 a.m. We're a family place, open since 2001, and we've been serving up Southern cooking just the way we like it. So, if you're thinking about a little trip down south, let us tell you what you can expect when you come visit us.
The kitchen, midweek
When you walk into The Sirloin House, you'll feel like you've stepped into a comfortable, welcoming place. You'll hear the friendly chatter of folks catching up, the clinking of silverware, and maybe the sizzle from the kitchen. We've got plenty of booths and tables, perfect for families or a quiet meal for two. The buffet line is always bustling during lunch, with folks eyeing up what Joanna's cooked up that day. It's a place where you can relax, take your time, and enjoy a good, honest meal. We like to keep things simple and friendly here, just like you'd hope.
Breakfast buffet
Getting to us from South Boston is a straight shot. You'll want to hop on US-58 West, then merge onto US-501 South. You'll mostly be on four-lane highway, so it's a pretty easy ride. Keep an eye out for signs for Eden as you get closer to the state line. Once you're in Eden, you'll be looking for South Van Buren Road. We're right there at 207 S Van Buren Rd. Most folks from your neck of the woods time it so they can catch our lunch buffet, which starts at 11:00 AM, or come in for a relaxing dinner without the rush. The drive itself is about 65 minutes, so it's a good amount of time to catch up with whoever you're riding with.
Considering the 65-minute drive from South Boston, a lot of folks like to come for a late breakfast or an early lunch. Our breakfast buffet runs Sunday-Friday from 7-11 AM and on Saturday from 7 AM-1 PM. If you're looking to avoid the morning rush, things usually start to thin out by 9:30 AM. Our lunch buffet, which is a real crowd-pleaser, is served Sunday-Friday from 11 AM-3 PM. We don't do a dinner buffet, but our full dinner menu is available all day. Parking is free and right at the building, so you won't have to hunt for a spot. We always welcome walk-ins for smaller tables, but if you're bringing a big group, say 8 or more, it's a good idea to give us a call at 336-623-7778 so we can have a table ready for you.
While you're making the trip down from South Boston, there's a few things worth seeing right here in Eden if you want to make a half-day of it. We're lucky to have both the Smith River and the Dan River right in our backyard, offering some pretty spots for a walk or just to sit by the water. Freedom Park is a nice place for the kids to stretch their legs too. Eden itself has a bit of history; it was formed back in '67 when the towns of Leaksville, Spray, and Draper all came together. You can still see some of that old mill town character in parts of town, which gives it a real grounded feel. It's a friendly place, and we think you'll find plenty to appreciate before or after your meal with us.
Homemade cobbler
So, if you're ever looking for a good, home-cooked meal that reminds you of simpler times, we hope you'll make the pleasant drive down from South Boston. We're here, just about an hour away, ready to serve you a plate of something delicious. Come on in and pull up a chair; we'd be mighty glad to have you.
