Editor's Note: Unfortunately, since the time of publication, this restaurant has permanently closed.

The Homeplace Restaurant is located at 4968 Catawba Valley Dr., Catawba, VA 24070.

Since 1982, the Homeplace Restaurant has served the area with a gorgeous setting, hospitality, and generous portions of comfort food.

Inside, you'll discover a country-style dining room with customers gathered from near and far.

Among Blue Ridge locals, there are also plenty of Appalachian Trail thru-hikers who enjoy a home-cooked meal in Catawba.

Perhaps the only thing to rival the beauty of the countryside is the smell of homemade biscuits wafting from the kitchen.

Perfect with just about any meal, these biscuits are worth the trip to Catawba alone.

The fried chicken is another favorite. Cooked to absolute perfection, it's definitely a customer go-to.

Along with fried chicken and biscuits, you can expect all sorts of mouthwatering sides such as macaroni, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, ham, apple butter, and more.

Served family style, this comfort food is best enjoyed when piled high and topped with homemade gravy.

And, of course, no homemade meal is complete without a serving of warm apple cobbler and ice cream.

Homeplace Restaurant is open Thursdays —

Sundays for lunch and dinner.

There may be a wait when you arrive at the restaurant, but rest assured that the delicious food will be worthwhile. Plus, you can relax and admire the gorgeous view from the front porch.
