I ate supper across the street in Tennessee then went across the street to Virginia to eat dessert and it was great. This place loves Bob Ross and I enjoyed it. I had the fried cheesecake with ice cream, it was great. Oh yeah and they sell Bob Ross t shirts too

Wonderful place to have a bite. Starting off, we ordered the appetizer platter. It was fantastic! I highly recommend the jalapeño hush puppies with the quso dipping sauce.

I like to find non chain restaurants when I'm visiting a new city and this was amazing! Tvo was our server and he gave great recommendations to choose from the menu.
