Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant - Staunton

Steve’s take

Mrs. Rowe's has been feeding I-81 travelers since 1947 and the pie is the reason people write about this place in road trip blogs with religious intensity. Meatloaf, fried chicken, and a dessert case that'll make you forget about your diet until approximately Georgia. Right off I-81 in Staunton. Your kids get a real sit-down meal, your spouse gets to not eat fast food for one blessed hour, and the coconut cream pie is a life event.
