Some of the best barbecue in town is also the best value! Mongolian-style barbecue is not the Southern style many Americans are accustomed to; here you'll find slivers of well-seasoned meat seared on a grill. Served with rice, vegetables or noodles, the barbecue is intense. It's also a treat to watch the cooking! The buffet at Peking is legendary for its quantity, and the Sunday brunch is popular with locals.

The Veranda Room at the Radisson Ft. McGruder has a wonderful setting as well as tasty food. Their brunch and lunch buffets are locally legendary ­ the brunch has mouthwatering entrees and a huge amount of fresh fruit and pastries. Since it is so popular, reservations are suggested.

The 190-seat Lodge Restaurant serves great food anytime, including a full buffet breakfast for just under $15. If you order from the menu, choose from home cooked delights like the Minuteman (two eggs, Surry County bacon or sausage, potatoes or grits, and buttermilk biscuits) or the Jamestown (spiced French toast with custard cream, toasted pecans, maple syrup and fresh fruit). NB In the evenings, the lounge area features warm fires, live music and your favorite libations.
