Country Cookin

Country Cookin is a Virginia-based chain of casual dining restaurants featuring Southern cuisine with 14 locations throughout Virginia, mostly in Southwest Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and the U.S. 29 corridor. The first restaurant was opened by Jon Cawley in Roanoke, Virginia in 1981. For lunch and dinner, patrons typically order a meat entree such as a small steak or chicken breast which also includes a choice of a side dish. Ordering the entree also entitles the patron to make trips to a buffet which has vegetables, a salad bar, soups, freshly baked bread, and desserts. Patrons may also dine from the buffet only without ordering a meat entree. Most locations also have a breakfast buffet daily.
