Description

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.

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.

The Mansion at Fort Chiswell. Bartender Gary serves a generous Maker's Mark and tells some good tales. The chicken salad sandwich and Kale salad with salmon were refreshingly delicious. Really neat historic home. Glad it's being taken care of and that the public can enjoy this piece of history. Enjoyed a tour by a knowledgeable man who also teaches special needs students. Definitely a return trip in our future.
