Menu

Here you will find the menu of Key Ingredients in Max Meadows. At the moment there are 61 meals and beverages on the menu.

Set inside a lovingly preserved pre–Civil War mansion in Fort Chiswell near Wytheville, this farm-to-table restaurant delights with hearty Southern flavors, scenic outdoor dining and a convivial bar. Guests praise the food, drinks and unique historic setting, and many return for tours and events. Service is uneven: occasional slow or inattentive staff, missed place settings and rushed tours have marred visits. Overall, it’s a charming, family-friendly roadside destination well suited to travelers and groups seeking good food and old‑world atmosphere.

The food was extremely well prepared and plentiful. Pair that with a good... View all feedback.

What Lisa C dislikes about Key Ingredients:
The food was quite disappointing, and some items from my entree never even made it to our table. We ended up paying and leaving after our kids finished their meals because it took over 30 minutes for the plates to arrive. View all feedback.

I have visited this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is delicious.

First time and everything was excellent...beautiful evening outside for dinner and then entertainment by Christa Hughes. Salad was a #10 and my husband and a friend were all pleased with 3 different dinners. Plan to come back again and was glad to see that you are still open. Maybe this weekend would be a treat for us.
